Chapter 56
Seeing the ravenous appearances of the deities in the room I had zero interest in catering to there desires, even though leading an army into the dungeon and power leveling them within a couple weeks sounds like a funny idea and so would seeing all the deity's reaction would be highly interesting.
Either way I had an escape plan for something similar to this happening even though it was meant to be used outside an enclosed room. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
"Hestia Freya, close your eyes tightly." Seeing them doing so I took the little vial I fused and smashed it into the table in front of us and a blinding light filled the room making the gods shriek in surprise and as the blinding light continued to shine, I threw a camouflage cloak over us and started guiding us out.
Just before we made it out the door, I could hear Loki yell. "Jake tell us what cheat code you are using."
I couldn't help but answer as everyone was whirling around half blinded by the light. "Up, UP, Down, Down, Circle, Circle, Square." I yelled and gently closed the door as the captains of the Familia's looked for me, but we were already walking down the hallway at a brisk walk.
After we managed to exit the guild, I escorted the girls to the carriage we rode in and had us swiftly return to the church and the protection of the wards.
"So, with the dungeon closed what do you plan on doing till the deployment tomorrow?" Hestia asked as the whole Familia started discussing the meeting.
"Well, it's not like we could use the teleporting lantern with Ouranos paying such close attention to the dungeon. Would really suck to hit some barrier he made and be splattered across space." I deadpanned.
Thankfully there was no army directly following the horde, but then again lower-level adventurers wouldn't be able to survive let alone march through the poisoned trail those monsters were leaving.
Soon enough It was time for us all to go to sleep and I gave Bell a minor sleeping potion to calm his nerves and get to sleep and only Syr and Ryuu didnt join the large cuddle pile we made on the huge mattress downstairs, so I was finally able to fall asleep hearing the sounds of Aisha's snores, Haruhime's soft exhales, Hestia's sleep mumbling and so on.
'By this time tomorrow the history of the world will be shaped after this coming battle.' I couldn't help but think as Hestia shakily helped put on my armor.
I took her shaky hands into my own gauntlets and gently held her as I kissed her forehead. "Hestia, I swear that I will come back to you no matter what." I promised her.
"It's too soon for you to fight such battles, Jake!" She moaned laying her head against my chest plate.
Honestly, she was right as I have been literally speed running the dungeon and gaining pure strength and only catching back up on technique by being beat to hell by Ryuu but even my strength didnt promise my safety on such a huge battlefield.
I wordlessly just patted her head as I had nothing else, I could say so I just put my helmet on with my free hand and then mounted my charge blade over my back.
As I patted Bell's back, I just hoped he didnt have to fight Alfia face to face as I had no idea how it would go.
