Chapter 853: Jordan's Gauntlet V: To Cook A God



^She's getting stronger, and rapidly...^ Jordan jumped from left to right and blasted Merida's demons with a massive divine smite round kick before lunging at her. He kept eyes on Eris all the time, he couldn't underestimate another demi-god.

Aella fired a blindingly fast arrow at him, but he caught it and threw it back at Meryem, all while tanking several hits from Betty. They all knew that great magic wouldn't work on him, they needed Eris to deliver the finishing blow.

As Eris's divine power kept rising, she and Jordan quickly outscaled everyone else, even Merida started finding it hard to keep up with them.

"Merlin! Can't you teleport him around?" Merida yelled as she barely dodged a divine blast from a swing from Jordan.

"I can't do that, he's a divine being. He's nearly impossible to teleport against his will." Merlin replied, "That's also because I don't understand how divine magic works, I'm neither a god nor an angel."

"If we can't teleport then we should be able to trap him." Mira said as she looked around, "Give me some wood." She pulled a saw, her hammer, and a bunch of nails.

"What are you trying to do?" Merlin stared at her.

"You managed to make this labyrinth and pull him inside, we can't forcibly change his location, but we can trap him. Using that same logic, I want to create a box with a barrier for you to coat the inside and fill it with a layer of this labyrinth. We can trap him inside to buy some time." Mira smiled.

"Time for what?" Merlin waved her hand and pulled some wood from her magic pocket.

"Time for me to create a forge. Using the compressed stone, cursed metal, Tempo fire, Eris's plasma, Lydia's curse, Betty's powerful light, and Aella's air. She smiled, I'm confident we can cook a god."

"So..." Abel giggled, "Trap him in a box to buy time, then mage a powerful force and throw him inside to burn."

"If she can make it." Jack shook his head, "Is it that easy to make such a thing?"

"It's not. I doubt it'll be stable; a few minutes is probably all we'll get. Making the artifact isn't the hard part, making it last is. Buy me a minute." She smiled.

"Eris! Hold on for a minute!" Merlin sent a message and Eris shouted back. "You bet!" Her divine magic had started stagnating at 24658DP but it's slowly increasing, but that was enough to hold back against Jordan who doesn't have a fighting oriented.

Mira lifted her hammer and swung it down at a nail on the wood, sparking with magic with each hit. She sat on her desk alone behind everyone else, engrossed in her work, like a god focusing on his creation, her concentration reached its peak as she slowly pieced the box together with Merlin's magic circles.

Mira threw the box into the furnace and everyone blasted it, she even threw a few bombs in there and the furnace got locked behind a ten-layered barrier.

As the heat rushed out, everyone felt like they were about to burn to ash just from standing nearby. Tempo waved his massive hands above them and created a fire barrier to protect them, "Just keep blasting him. He'll eventually fail to heal and die. He isn't a true god, he can't survive this for long." He said, breathing flame into the furnace.

After a minute and a half of cooking on high heat, the furnace cracked, it had reached its limit. "It won't last!" Mira yelled, "Get ready to run away. We don't know if he's alive or not." This was all they had, unlike him, they were mortals who could feel exhaustion.

"I hope he's dead." Eris sighed.

"Don't say that...he'll..." Jack gasped, feeling the red flag.

As the furnace crumbled down, Jordan flew out with a clenched fist, "This isn't enough!" He swung at Mira's face, "You! You're the bitch behind those bombs and seals, you're dangerous,

you must die!"

All the girls rushed to protect her, they were all out of mana, and all they could do was stand

in the way.

Jordan's fist landed with a large boom, flashing with divine magic. "Closer to death I've sensed it, the truth of my greed! I'll steal your everything, wealth, knowledge, life, and magic, fall to my hands, pitiful mortals!"

The girls looked around, confused at what happened, noticing they were engulfed in a large shadow. As Jordan's divine light faded, the massive black humanoid became apparent. Arad had his wives engulfed in his wings and took the hit to the back.

"Arad? Is that you?" Eris gasped, "You look like a lizard!"

"Doma used my draconic soul to maintain my human form, that's why I look like this." He replied with a smile, patting her head. "You can rest now. I'm here, everything is fine." "Who are...wait, you're Arad, aren't you? I've heard of you." Jordan growled, thinking of a way

to run. He had heard that Arad was a problem and wasn't willing to test him now that he saw

how powerful his wives were.

Arad slowly glared back at him, "Give it back." He growled with rage.
