Chapter 252: (3): Story of Arifureta 2

Luis told what happened after the fall into the abyss.

The bottom of the dungeon was full of monsters more terrifying than anything seen on the surface, the traps could kill an elite knight with the slightest carelessness, the resources were limited and there was no food.

The upper floors of the dungeon were a tutorial while the real challenge was in the depths.

Although the students found it hard to imagine that such a horrible place could exist, Luis didn't care if they doubted his words.

Luis said that he managed to reach the bottom of the dungeon where there was an exit that sent him to the Reisen Canyon where he met Yue and Shea with whom he began to travel. Luis also made it clear that both girls were now his wives, which caused some tension in the atmosphere, but Luis kept talking nonchalantly.

Luis mentioned that he met Myu when he had a conflict with slave traders and adopted her as his daughter, now he was traveling to find the girl's mother.

As for Tio, Luis said that same day he was walking as he wanted to show Myu about the world, coincidentally he met a crazy dragon so he hit the dragon to turn it into grilled meat.

The dragon had been controlled by dark magic and the beating helped bring it back to consciousness, though Luis's violence aroused something additional in the terrifying dragon.

The dragon turned into a beautiful woman and swore allegiance to Luis so now Luis had a masochistic pet.

The students were amazed by the story and asked many questions spending a whole day chatting.

Luis bid them farewell as he needs to find Myu's mother, but promised that he would return to the Great Orcus Labyrinth after finding Myu's mother.

The students were a bit more reassured knowing that Luis was safe, although they were worried that Luis would travel on his own.

Aiko tried to convince Luis to return to them, but Luis insisted that Myu is his current priority since it is cruel to separate a girl from her mother.

In the end, the teacher accepted Luis's words with concern, but before she asked Luis to return the knights who became invertebrate jellyfish to normal.

Luis readjusted the bones of the knights and they did not dare to speak again near the womanizing boy, they were totally traumatized.

So Luis separated himself from the group of heroes, or so it seemed.

That night Luis contacted Aiko and Marika.

Luis told the information that could not be revealed in front of the knights and other students, the truth about that world.

Luis explained that at the bottom of the dungeon he found information about Ehit and that the war against the demons was just a game for the gods.

Luis made sure that Aiko understood how dangerous that world was so that she would be careful, moreover, Luis decided to trust the kind teacher and told her the truth about Gaia with the help of Marika since she came from an important family which gave her access to secret information.

Aiko was surprised to learn that her home world had a supernatural side to it, but this helped increase her trust towards Luis as he had more experience and knowledge in dealing with magical matters.

Luis said that he was a subordinate of the Ichijo family so he would need Aiko's help so that the students understand that they cannot use their new skills carelessly when they return to Gaia since there are strict rules that must be followed to guarantee peace of the human world.

Luis also mentioned that he found clues to have a way to get the group back to Gaia so now he just needed more information.

Aiko agreed to follow Luis's directions while feeling secretly happy to feel that the distance between her and Luis had decreased, although she was not aware of her own feelings.

Luis said that he would be in town for a couple of days and then he would go to look for Myu's mother so if a problem arises he will be around to help.

Luis left after the talk with the women, leaving Marika with a contemplative expression.

Marika had a feeling that Luis had hidden important information and that things were not that easy since if Ehit saw this world as a game then he would not allow Luis to spoil the fun.

This generated a terrifying thought for the girl, Luis had the confidence to face a God.

The Tachibana family had contact with some of the deities that looked after Japan so it was hard for her to imagine that a human could match that power.

Marika began to feel insecure about her plan to cancel her deal with Luis, although slowly she had begun to resign herself to being the womanizer's lover.

The next day the students were alerted that an army of monsters was heading to the city so they had to escape.

The citizens were anxious as this meant losing their homes, jobs, and belongings, but they did not have the strength to fight thousands of crazed monsters.

Despite the danger, Aiko sought out Luis for help as she was hurt to see so many innocent people losing their homes and she trusted that Luis would have a way to fix this mess.

The monsters seemed to be being guided by the same person who tried to control Tio's mind, one of the students named Yukitoshi Shimizu.

Aiko felt guilty for not guiding her students correctly and asked Luis for help to protect the city and stop Yukitoshi but they didn't kill him.

Luis agreed to help, but in exchange, he asked for a date when things calmed down.

Although it was obvious that Luis was joking, Aiko agreed to go on a date with her student while her face turned red.

Luis led his group to the outskirts of the city and prepared the defenses.

Yue used earth magic to form a large wall surrounding the city, then Shea and Tio made several attacks to form multiple craters to prevent the monsters from charging in full force.

There was still time before the attack so the citizens and heroes decided to help and formed various traps to protect the city.

Finally, the army of 60,000 monsters came rushing in to destroy the city.

Yue and Tio used magic to attack from a distance while Shea and Luis directly attacked the army as they both specialized in close combat.

Shea's strength surprised humans as rabbit-type demihumans were known to be attractive but weak so to see a cute girl using a heavy hammer to devastate everything in her path was impressive.

Even though Shea, Yue, and Tio were doing a great job of eliminating the monsters, the most conspicuous was the boy.

Luis used the Blades of Chaos to destroy everything in his path like a meat grinder. Luis used the chains of the swords as whips and in each movement dozens of monsters were cut, spreading blood throughout the battlefield.

The brutality of Luis's attacks alarmed the monsters' survival instincts so some managed to break the mind control and escape back to the North Mountain Range.

Within a couple of hours, the army was reduced to smears of blood and intestines littering the ground.

Luis captured the student as Aiko and the students closed in.

The student was yelling stupid things about being the real protagonist and that Luis was just trash.

Luis got tired of the stupid things so he beat the boy unconscious, then tied him up so he wouldn't escape.

The situation was now calm, but at that time there were two sneak attacks.

The traitorous student's chest was destroyed causing his death.

The second attack was aimed at Aiko, but Luis managed to hug the woman's waist to move her away from danger.

The heroes saw that the attacker was a demon riding a dragon.

Akane was busy killing the traitorous students and the undead so she couldn't help the swordsman girl.

Shizuku was tired and she couldn't defend herself anymore so Kouki's next attack could kill her.

As Kouki's sword was about to cut off the beautiful girl's head, the roof of the dungeon shattered as two chained swords stabbed into the ground in front of Shizuku.

Luis appeared from the hole in the ceiling accompanied by three beautiful women, Yue, Shea, and Tio.

Shizuku's group was happy to see Luis, even the group that hated him was glad that someone came to save them.

Luis instructed Shea and Tio to protect the students while he and Yue stood guard against the puppet Kouki.

The students who had joined the demons began to threaten Luis while saying their true intentions.

Some students were blinded by power, others were seeking lust. Each one stated their motives for joining the demons as they had the confidence to win because of the advantage in numbers.

Luis ignored them and focused on Kouki.

Although Kouki looked like Eri's puppet, Luis could see the truth, that was no longer Kouki but the vessel of the god Ehit.

Luis threatened Ehit making the god sigh in annoyance, Ehit was upset that his entertainment was interrupted.

Eri was in disbelief as she now understood that Ehit had used her to take control of Kouki while the boy had already died.

Eri had a mental breakdown since her only reason to live was Kouki. She was so desperate that she tried to destroy herself but was stopped by the only person who still considered her friend, Suzu Taniguchi.

Suzu was sad and furious since her boyfriend died because of Eri's actions, but she also didn't want Eri to die since she thought that everything was a plan of the god Ehit and in reality, Eri was just another victim.

Suzu tried to make Eri see reason so she wouldn't kill herself, but the conversation between both girls was interrupted by Ehit as the god was bored with the drama.

Ehit was about to kill Suzu so Eri rushed to protect her best friend.

Eri regretted her actions as she saw Kouki's sword going for her neck, but she was surprised to see that the god's attack was stopped.

Luis protected both girls by pushing Ehit back.

Eri didn't understand why Luis protected her even though she caused such a mess, but Luis' answer was simple, it would be a waste to let such pretty girls die.

Luis began to fight against the god taking advantage of the fact that Ehit had not gotten used to using Kouki's body.

Shea and Tio faced the demons while Yue supported both Luis and the girls.

The battle shook the dungeon, but the situation changed when a second god appeared, but this time using the king's body as a vessel.

Luis was in trouble as the king not only had the power of a god, he was holding an unconscious woman and girl.

The king threatened to kill the queen and princess if Luis didn't surrender so Luis had to drop his weapons and raise his hands in surrender while motioning for Yue, Shea, and Tio to back off.

The god Alva released the princess and queen, then rushed to attack Luis.

Ehit also rushed in and both gods stabbed Luis with their swords, Ehit pierced through the heart and Alva through the neck.

The women screamed in horror at the sight of Luis receiving both attacks making the demons and traitors laugh with pride.

Ehit and Alva smiled, but they quickly sensed danger so they tried to escape, unfortunately for them, it was too late.

His heart pierced and his throat almost severed, Luis pulled the chains of the Blades of Chaos to bring both blades into his hands.

Ehit managed to escape by sacrificing his partner while Alva was cut in half.

Although Alva was a god using the king's body as a vessel, his spirit form was severely damaged because Luis's swords were made to kill gods.

Ehit showed fear upon seeing Alva's death so he tried to run away, but his back was stabbed by a stone knife.

Akane was furious at the injuries Luis received so she ignored the danger and attacked Ehit with the weapon specially designed to ignore the Destiny (Plot Armor) of a chosen one (protagonist).

Akane had this weapon to kill Kouki if the boy became a danger and although it was a powerful weapon created with Luis's blood and the System Goddess's alchemy, it was not a weapon capable of killing a God.

Even though Ehit didn't die, he couldn't use his skills so he couldn't defend against Shea's attack which destroyed his bones.

At the same time, Tio turned into a dragon and used her strongest attack to attack Ehit.

As the girls attacked the god, Yue rushed over to Luis to use healing magic.

Although Yue didn't need healing magic since her innate ability is regeneration, she learned from Luis' mentality to learn a bit of everything.

Luis's throat was healed, but losing his heart was a hard wound to heal with magic so Luis was slowly dying.

Shizuku and the other girls approached Luis to help him.

Kaori hurriedly used her healing abilities and managed to stabilize Luis.

Shizuku tried to help Luis lie down to rest, but he was stubborn to stand up to fight Ehit.

Akane and Shea were hurt while Tio was running out of magic power so at this rate the god could kill some of the women.

Shizuku gritted her teeth and decided to help Luis even though he was sad that he had to kill Kouki since they were childhood friends.

Shizuku attacked Ehit to get her attention causing the god to arrogantly sneer and attack the woman.

Yue and Suzu protected Shizuku while several undead attacked Ehit.

Eri had chosen to redeem herself and eliminate the god. Although she felt sadness and guilt for Kouki's death, she had found a new motivation to live so she would strive to protect her only friend and the man who was willing to help her despite being a traitor.

Ehit was distracted for a moment and that was enough for Luis to attack him from behind.

Luis attacked violently cutting Kouki's body into small pieces of meat until the body turned into a pool of blood.

That was the end of the age of the gods in Tortus and the beginning of the age of the hero Luis.
