Chapter 131.2: Goddess of Victory’s Arrival

Maybe because Ishtar understood the situation, she said those words to Reiji and then looked at me.

Her face revealed a really meaningful smile.

「Nevertheless, how sly of you Totona-chan. You should’ve introduced him to me.」

「I refuse.」

Totona replied immediately.

「Humph. Fine then, I’ll ask him directly.」

Ishtar pouted.

「My apologies, but I don’t think we’re in a situation where we can afford to fool around. The Serpent Queen is glaring at us.」

I also refused promptly, not sparing as much as a glance at Ishtar.

It would be a disaster if those boobs came at me when we’re still in the middle of battle.

I wouldn’t be able to fight properly in a slouching position.

Though I felt sorry for Ishtar’s disappointment, I really couldn’t afford to let my guard down in front of the Serpent Queen.

I looked at the Serpent Queen.

「You have business with Giltar, eh?!! Are you satisfied now, Dark Knight?!! If so, then tell me, what are you doing here?!! Why are you siding with those Elios Goddesses?!! We’re not even hostile towards the Demon King!! 」

Diadona shouted at me.

It seems she knew why I didn’t make my move until the very end.

That was the only silver lining in this situation.

「Serpent Queen!! I also have no intention to make an enemy out of you!! You already achieved your goal, so I advise you to leave right now!!」

I replied back to the Serpent Queen.

The pyramid was already gone, and we got the scorpion poison too.

There was no reason to continue this futile battle.

「Humph!! You think we’re going to retreat that easily!! Dark Knight, if you want to retreat, leave behind those Elios Goddesses!!」

I shook my head to express my answer to the Serpent Queen.

I couldn’t accept her demand.

「Sorry but I can’t do that!! I can’t leave Totona behind, Serpent Queen!!」

The moment I said that, the Serpent Queen revealed an extremely enraged look on her face..

「SO YOU’RE THE SAME, HUH?!! YOU’RE JUST LIKE THAT MODES B*STARD?!! TRULY REGRETTABLE, DARK KNIGHT!!!」

Emotions dwelled in the Serpent Queen’s eyes.

That must be her traumatic past.

Something similar must’ve happened in the past when Modes betrayed them.

「Humph!! I told you, right Diadona?!! You can’t expect anything from that cowardly Modes’ subordinate!! We should use this chance to kill him!!」

Said Zarxis as he spread his bat-like wings, unleashing a storm of miasma at the same time.

Weak creatures would die as soon as they were exposed to this miasma.

I prayed.

Please hurry up, Rena!!

Well, it’s not like she would hear my prayer.

Maybe I had to buy some more time until she arrived.

「I’M COMIIIING!!!」

Suddenly, something came from the sky toward our direction, and landed right behind me.

When I turned around, I saw that Rena had already arrived.

She was armed to the teeth with her spear and shield.

Her hair was slightly dishelved though.

It seems she flew at full speed.

What’s the meaning of this?

「Rena... You came for me?」

「OOOH!! MY GODDESS OF VICTORY!! YOU MUST’VE COME FOR THIS HARSESH!!」

Both Reiji and Harsesh spoke with deeply moved voices.

Alas, both of them weren’t the only ones moved to tears by Rena’s arrival. The birdfolk and dogfolk warriors, who had collapsed from exhaustion, also raised a cheer.

Diadona and co’s side on the other hand were caught completely off guard by Rena’s sudden arrival.

Especially the Evil Gods, they obviously became restless upon seeing her arrival.

「Fufufu. Rena-chan is a woman too. You must’ve come in hurry since you felt that Reiji’s life is in danger.」

Ishtar spoke with a meaningful smile on her face.

「Is that so, Rena? You would’ve never done something like this before.」

「How lucky of you Reiji~. There’s such a beautiful Goddess head over heels for you.」

Totona shook her head with disbelief.

Chiyuki on the other hand had a complicated look on her face.

「Good grief. Forcing me to come in hurry like this...」

At that moment, Rena glared angrily at me.

Eh, why me?

Did she actually hear my prayer?

That can’t be true right?

Oh crap, I became conceited for a moment.

「DAMMIT ALL! FIRST THE DARK KNIGHT!! THEN EVEN RENA CAME TOO! YOU LOT CALM DOWN!! ZARXIS, USE ECLIPSE TO KILL THEM!!」

「Roger that, Diadona!! GO ECLIPSE!!」

Eclipse raised a roar along with Zarxis’ order.

But the Goddess of Victory had come.

Now was the best time to turn the tables.
