Chapter 153: War Game!

Chapter 153: War Game!

The next day, no one went to the dungeon.

Everyone gathered at their home, bar, or center of the city, waiting for the War Game that was about to begin at noon.

Apollo Familia versus Hestia Familia.

The Apollo Familia was quite famous, and it was a mid-size Familia, but the Hestia Familia was nothing but a small Familia with only one member.

The victor of this War Game was obvious, but as this activity was rare and it was quite hard to search for entertainment in this world except for sex, everyone decided to take a break to watch the fun that was about to happen.

Whether it was gods, goddesses, or all who lived on the Orario, they stood, watching the rare event that was about to unfold before them.

"Isao-kun..."

While the Hostess of Fertility usually opened at night, they decided to open at noon as there were many people who came to watch the War Game while drinking and eating. Still, those waitresses couldn't focus as the one that they would watch to accompany their fun was nothing but the torment of a single young man facing hundreds of people.

If they didn't know Isao, they would be like them, but they knew him well, and they even had dinner at his place last night. While they wanted to cheer on him, sending him off, they couldn't see him as Isao had already left so early.

Syr was worried, but there was nothing she could do.

"Where is he?"

"He is going to the guild."

"Guild? Why?"

"You will know it soon."

Hestia showed a mysterious smile, which made them strange and curious, but no matter what, they had to watch this War Game.

On the other hand, Loki Familia understood why Isao, the young man they had seen the day before, told them that they would understand why he had worked so hard. When they returned last night, Loki, their goddess, told them about Isao, and they knew that it was him. As they shared their story, it led to how Apollo Familia would fight against a minor, small Familia known as Hestia Familia, which was a Familia that Isao was part of.

"Fighting hundreds of people alone?" Tione's lips twitched.

"He is asking for death." Gareth sighed helplessly.

"Really? I don't think so." Finn rubbed his chin and said.

"You think that he can win, Finn?" Riveria asked curiously.

Or rather, except for Finn, no one thought that Isao could win, especially when he was just a Level 1 adventurer.

Nevertheless, Ais' eyes were focused on Finn, waiting for his answer.

"Did you forget how he suddenly disappeared from all of us? Even if we, the Level 6 adventurer, can't find him, how can a mid-size Familia search for him?"

"...if you say that way..."

Somehow, they couldn't refute Finn's words, but—

"It's just a trick." Bete snorted. "A weakling is a weakling." He didn't change his opinion since as long as Isao was just a Level 1 adventurer, this fact wouldn't change no matter what.

"Bete, why do you hate him so much?!" Tiona looked at Bete angrily. She thought that she had found her one, but this bastard messed up many things!

"You Amazoness slut!"

"I am not a slut!" Tiona snarled, then rebuked. "But I am much better than you, a virgin dog!"

"Do you want to take it outside, you bitch?!"

"Who is afraid?! Let's fight!"

"Enough!" Finn raised his voice, causing the two to shut their mouths, but then he sighed helplessly, wondering why Bete often caused trouble. Yes, he knew about Bete's past, and he also understood why Bete made everyone edge and angry toward him, but then again, not everyone was going to pamper such a baby who got angry at everyone.

Frankly, if this person got angry at Bete, then it was all fine, but if it spread to the Loki Familia, then...

"What's wrong, Finn?" Riveria noticed Finn's expression kept changing.

"No, it's fine." Finn shook his head since, as Bete said before, Isao was just a Level 1 adventurer, but why did he feel something strange from that young man?

As everyone stopped talking and focused on the War Game that was about to start, Aiz also looked away, focusing her attention on the match where the young man, who was as weak as a fragile branch, would fight against hundreds of people.

"Good afternoon, everyone! At last, it's the day of the War Game! I am your MC, Ibri Achaa!"

A man with brown skin and goggles said excitedly. "My title is "Fire Inferno Flame!" Glad to be here. And commentary will be provided by my Familia's God, Ganesha-sama!"

A muscular man with an elephant mask stood by the side of Ibri with a bright smile.

"Hermes-sama, it's the time."

The beautiful woman with short blue hair and glasses whispered.

"Okay." Hermes nodded, then said, "Ouranos, give me permission to use my power!"

"Permission granted."

Suddenly, an old and dignified voice sounded, giving permission to Hermes to use his power.

At that moment, in many places in Orario, mirror-like screens appeared mid-air.

Deities might not be able to use their power, known as Arcanum, in the lower world, but they were allowed to use it on certain occasions, such as in the War Game.

On those screens, everyone could see hundreds of members of the Apollo Familia gathered together on the open field like an army, putting pressure on everyone who saw them. Even if they were far away, they felt their hearts tighten.

"Hahaha..." Apollo laughed when he saw his Familia. "Look, this is my Familia! My proud children that I have picked up carefully!"

Hestia was annoyed, but then her eyes shone when she saw Isao.

While the hundreds of members of Apollo Familia made everyone feel nervous, Isao's appearance made them stop breathing.

Isao wore black slacks with suspenders and boots, along with a short-sleeve black undershirt, which showed the silhouette of his masculine and vigorous body. Strong and heroic. As his hair was slicked back, he was like a young general who was ready to face an impossible battle. There was no trace of fear on his face; all calm, facing all of those hundreds of people.

Those deities and all the people who saw him were all in silence, staring at him.

"Hey, Hestia, is that your child?"

Suddenly, a goddess with honey-colored wavy hair came closer to Hestia and asked curiously.

"..."

Hestia looked at Demeter, grumbling inwardly as she noticed the cute blush on her cheeks.

"Ha... Ha... Ha..."

After a moment of stupor, gazing into an attractive young man, many became in heat, and all of them then sighed inwardly, watching Apollo, who was breathing hard like a dog in heat.

"So handsome!" Tiona screamed with heavy breath as she looked at Isao on the screen.

"...Tiona, go sit down." Finn was speechless.

Yet, no one denied Tiona since his style was practical, simple, and manly.

Loki glanced at Isao in silence for a while, watching him, holding a saber and poleaxe and then two similar weapons on his suspender. Nevertheless, she understood why Apollo was so crazy about this young man, and even if Hestia was her rival, she felt sorry for this shorty as this shorty didn't have the power to protect this young man.

"Oh! Wait a moment! I have received a message that Iinuma Isao has become a Level 2 adventurer! In other words, in just two weeks of his stay in this Orario, his level has risen! He has broken the record of the Sword Princess!"

"Huh?"

When Ibri, the MC, made the announcement, everyone was surprised.

"Level 2 in two weeks?"

"Amazing!"

"How did he do that?"

When those words were announced, those deities who were on Babel looked at Hestia at the same time.

"Did you do something to him, Shorty?" Loki asked rudely.

"No, it was all his efforts. Your children should have met him in the dungeon, right? They should tell you how he spent six days in the dungeon without eating, drinking, and sleeping to fight all the time."

Hestia took a deep breath and said, "That's why he is going to win."

"Well, it's amazing that he has become Level 2, but to win..."

No one doubted Hestia since they knew Hestia's personality well, and it was unlikely that she would use her power to help Isao level up.

Still, even if Isao had become a Level 2, could he win hundreds of people?

Only all of them felt strange when they heard the words that came out from Isao for the first time.

"Won't you all surrender?"

"...." Everyone.
