Chapter 1011 Proof of Strength

Hestia and Artemis welcomed the newcomers with open arms and invited them to dinner.

It was a normal dinner overall with all of the Goddesses just calmly talking with each other about random things. Meanwhile, Tsubaki couldn't stop staring at Riveria while Ottar's eyes didn't leave Kisuke.

"Now that we're all satisfied, I hope you don't mind clearing up some of my confusion." Hephaestus started while the tea was being served.

"Then I would like to apologize in advance as I can't tell you that much. All I can say is that we won't involve ourselves with the 'Spirit'." Kisuke immediately prefaced.

Hephaestus became silent before saying, "At least tell me why Hermes is so keen on you taking action." She wasn't able to ask but it was incredibly weird that the Deities there were so sure that Yoruichi and Serafall would be able to deal with the corrupted 'Spirit'. It's not like it was impossible to defeat it with their current combined forces, but there would certainly be casualties that everybody didn't want. However, that doesn't really justify their weird reaction and behavior from the earlier meeting, 'It's as if they were the only correct solution for this problem.'

Kisuke smiled at her. He was a bit more patient with her since it was because of her giving away every Magic-powered vehicle in her inventory that the whole city of Orario and Melen were able to evacuate safely in a timely manner. Along with Ganesha, they were the two most prominent actors that pulled out all stops and opened their wallets just to ensure that every non-combatant person was safe and comfortable to do their tasks.

"Because Hermes and some of the Gods there know their abilities. If I were to compare them to Bell Cranel, that kid is just a little bit better than small fries compared to those two."

Tsubaki and Ottar's eyes widened in surprise.

And seeing that, Freya muttered, "Oh right, I almost forgot." Then with a snap of her fingers, the 'Charm' that was affecting both of them was instantly lifted and Serafall's Magic Power that was powering the spell dissipated.

In that instant, the memories that were locked behind a strong mental wall forcefully flooded their heads, causing a massive headache for Tsubaki and Ottar.

"Ughhh..." Tsubaki groaned while clutching her head and the first thing she thought after this was, 'How did I forget people like them!?'

Ottar, on the other hand, only silently endured the pain while muttering loudly, "...Either one of them is enough to deal with the corrupted Spirit."

He then looked at Kisuke with a regretful smile, "And if he is to take action personally, something like this would be obliterated within just a few seconds."

Hephaestus and Tsubaki were stunned to silence at his comment, not because of his ridiculous words, but because those ridiculous words came from someone like him who was very prideful and hated lying.

"Hey! I could do it within a few seconds too!" Serafall, meanwhile, protested at the underestimation of her.

However, it was not as easy as that since they didn't want to provoke the one that watched from the sky so they could only opt for Riveria who was the absolute limit.

Riveria could only sigh and couldn't find any reason to refuse, "Fine."

Outside, Riveria and Ottar were standing some distance away from the rest of the group. "Now that I think about it, to what extent did Riveria improve? Everyone told me that she could copy Magic, but to what degree?" asked Yoruichi.

Like how Yoruichi and Serafall didn't reveal anything about their progress, Kisuke and the other girls also didn't reveal much about themselves to surprise each other when they see each other again, "It'll be an interesting show, so just watch."

Ottar was already ready to go with two greatswords in his hands along with his Ki and Magic Power flaring up.

Riveria, on the other hand, was rubbing her chin and eyes closed in deep thought.

"Should I start?", asked the impatient and somewhat offended Ottar, 'She didn't even take out her wand, and what's with that very casual stance? She doesn't see me as an opponent?'

Riveria finally opened her eyes after a few seconds and said, "Let me do the opening act."

Ottar saw Riveria raise her left hand and got into a defensive stance. The next instant, a weird Magic Circle appeared on top of her but after a few seconds, Riveria let out a disappointed voice, "...Ah...", before it suddenly disappeared without doing anything.

But unlike her sad expression, the corners of Kisuke's mouth were twitching, "...Just what are you doing?"

Without any hesitation, Riveria answered while looking at her left hand, "I tried summoning Midgardsormr through the Dragon Gate but it seems that the dimension is locked tight. I can't pry it open."

Hearing that, Serafall pointed her finger at her while looking at Kisuke with a blank expression, "Oi... Did I just hear that right? Setting aside how she managed to make a contract with the Sleeping Dragon, she wanted to summon a Dragon King in a simple spar? And the largest one at that? Does she want to kill him from a heart attack?"

"If he doesn't die from a heart attack, he'll die from a single tail swipe," Yoruichi added with a similar expression.
