Chapter 154: A husband fights against Keria!

Though the adventurers from Keria's party were wounded, it didn't disturb their movement as if they didn't feel any pain at all. Furthermore, those wounds were hard to see through as only their backs were cut with deep wounds.

As they roared, the adventurers threw themselves while enveloping their bodies in respective energies based on their belief. It didn't seem like they were strong enough to completely overwhelm Kyoya's party, but their way of fighting was problematic.

Even more with Keria throwing her knives from atop the tower.

'She is the worst… I can't let her prepare more.'

The knives were mixed with illusions, but the numbers kept increasing both for the normal knives and the fake ones. It was just the beginning of the fight yet Keria managed to stop Kyoya's party wholly.

That was why Kyoya instantly deceived the first man from her party.

"Ughh!"

The husband's avatar misguided the controlled man whose purpose was to keep pressing against Kyoya's party. This man had no way of distinguishing Kyoya's avatar and just threw himself when the avatar just stopped fighting.

In this way, the pitiful adventurer just exposed himself to Kyoya's knife that already exploded with golden-red energy. An immense sharpness got imbued within the knife that easily cut through the neck.

After Kyoya ended the life of the first controlled toy, his eyes dilated as he felt the foreign energy trying to enter his body.

[You have been infected with the trickster god's belief.]

[Seventh Trickster God's belief has been detected.]

[Seventh Trickster God's belief got repulsed.]

Kyoya sighed with relief when he spotted the last message. It turned out that his divine energy was of a higher quality and so he didn't need to possess any technique to protect himself from such tricky abilities.

However, it was indeed time to learn more of those as even before, Kyoya's party couldn't do much against the influence of the tower and now, this woman's abilities.

"DON'T KILL THESE MEN! REMEMBER!"

"Yes!"

"We just gotta stop them then!"

His shout startled the party and Noe the most as she was close to killing one of those controlled men. She listened to Kyoya though and focused more on parrying the raining knives from atop.

There was no need for Kyoya to lie at this point and his voice was just that convincing.

While the party followed Kyoya's words, he himself disappeared from the battlefield. He stomped on the tower with a red glint in his eyes.

"So you are the same as me. It's a pleasure to meet someone who follows a similar god."

Keria's voice was different toward the husband as her plans changed when her eyes noticed the avatar ability. She obviously decided to invite Kyoya to The New Kingdom and more importantly, her party that resided here.

However, Kyoya didn't give her time to speak.

When his movement became a little stiff, Keria knew he used the avatar and another ability to disappear from her sight. His goal to execute her was clearer than the sky and so she easily avoided his thrust.

Then, her seductive body bent as she changed position on the tower. She was pretty flexible and unique as every move sent another wave of knives straight onto Kyoya's face. He negated those without any problem, but before the husband could engage in a close contact battle, Keria's voice reached him first.

"Join my party. It doesn't matter what god you exactly follow as long as it is Trickster God."

"You are not that good disciple I guess."

"Haha, please. Not like I am going to meet my god in this pitiful life. I will fight and rot in this low world pillar."

It seemed that the particular party from The New Kingdom's floor was just gathering Trickster God's believers in their ranks without regard to their lords. As long as one had the similar abilities, one could join them up.

For a little, Kyoya began pondering about the abilities of each Trickster God. He wanted to know more about them and as far as he could see, Keria's abilities were mostly related to knives and emotion control. He was particularly the same, but the origins of his own divine energy were unknown.

That was why Kyoya wanted to fight with her more, not only because she was an enemy.

"If you manage to invite a new kind of believer, then it will make your life easier, right?"

"Haha~~ Yes, yes. I would get some praise from my boss, but it also would make you a person under my care. Wouldn't that be great?"

Her ability to pull emotions went well with that seductive body. When she spoke about taking care of Kyoya, her body twisted and she emphasised her ample bosom. Furthermore, Keria inevitably dragged out Kyoya's recent whispers which were all related to her good looks and principles.

It was irritating, so Kyoya just threw himself at her with a goal to learn more.

"We are both different."

"Yes, we are. You aren't a virgin while I have yet to give my precious time to someone."

"That's not what I was talking about. You want to stay in this world pillar, but my ambitions reach higher."

"Hmmm."

As Keria mused, she avoided Kyoya's knife attempt to wound her. Her twin tails were fluttering from side to side non stop as dodging was currently the only thing within her mind. It was impossible to control Kyoya's emotions and the new world, which should've been her party up above, was not interesting for him.

She couldn't also use her good looks in her favor like she mostly did against people with equal strength.

In short, it was boring.

"Don't you feel it is boring?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just look at these fools."

Keria pointed below with her squinted eyes. What was unfolding here was naturally a battle between Kyoya's party against controlled men. It was one sided as Kyoya made Keria busy with his appearance.

Of course, her knives stopped bothering the party and they were careful to not kill the rest. In fact, Noe began her battle to just catch them and send somewhere else, but Keria advised not to with her laughing concept.

"I can kill them at any moment. Isn't that right, darling?"

"..."

"Keep dancing for me then, haha~~"

"So fighting against me is boring because I can neglect your powers."

The battle would be decided by the person who was solely stronger and uniquer. And it was what was boring for Keria. She just had to fight and inflict the pain physically, not emotionally which was usually the most amusing activity in her life.

Even after she got enough people to play with in the dark castle, Keria used her strength to play more with the feelings of her new party instead of the ghosts.

One of the best ones was the sudden truth.

"I told them I can get rid of their dark castle's influence, but it was all me just masking it within their hearts. Can you imagine their faces when they suddenly got an immense fear clenching their hearts? It was not only 'mask', but I was increasing this fear step by step! This place is one of the best playgrounds for us, but it is a pity it's so small."
