Chapter 115: Chapter 115 - The game starts
Although he is a follower of Ishtar, his presence is usually very small
However, he is actually a genuine Level 4.
His strength is outstanding among the entire Ishtar family, and due to some indescribable attributes, the Ishtar Tower trusted him more than anyone else.
At the same time, in the sky garden of the annex, as the time approached, the killing stone was handed over.
The blood-red fist orb was embedded in the handle of a longsword.
This ceremonial longsword will seal the target's soul along with the magical power in the killing stone at the hilt.
The ceremonial dagger emitted an intense glow, and the blood-red orb at the tip swayed with an eerie red light.
On the altar, Haruhime was chained to the center.
Seeing the sword and stone, Haruhime showed a look of fear for a moment, but she pressed her lips tightly together, forcing herself to look away, and then looked up at the sky.
The golden full moon high in the night sky was about to be filled with light.
That would be the halo that killed him, right?
'Perhaps for me, who is a prostitute... it might be a relief... Lord Link... will he be sad about my disappearance? '
Thinking of the person who had been taking care of her, Haruhime seemed a little disappointed.
'If possible, I hope to see Master Link again in the end. '
But that is impossible. It was just an extravagant wish in the girl's heart
Surrounded by all the fighting prostitutes of the Ishtar family, the current situation made it impossible.
After gazing at the beautiful moonlight for a while, Haruhime lowered her head.
There were no tears, only a sobbing heart, but she didn't show it at all.
Sadness, pain, and fear were sealed in her small body.
Memories of joy and nostalgia were also treasured in the box of her heart.
The fox girl slowly closed her eyes.
Some of the fighting prostitutes who had been paying attention to her bit their lips unconsciously.
That look of not speaking or crying at all, but willing to accept her fate, is truly pitiful.
Not all fighting prostitutes hate Haruhime.
Many combat prostitutes close to Aisha and others usually care for Haruhime, a fox girl.
Their original intention is that they do not want Haruhime to die.
However, there is no way.
As dependents of the goddess Ishtar, they cannot resist the goddess's will.
The terrifying charm method caused everyone to change color.
There is no way to rebel!
So I could only sit and watch this scene unfold.
However, hope is not entirely lost.
As long as there is a third party willing to intervene in this matter!
Aisha is the only one in the Ishtar Familia who knows that Link will take action for this.
But she did not tell anyone.
Going out tonight and entering the dungeon is the biggest concession she can make.
'Time is up!'
At this moment, Phryne personally took the sword inlaid with the killing stone from the party members.
Lifting the short sword high, she swung it toward Haruhime——
"Shout!!"
Very soon, the next moment the dagger was swung down, a sharp sound broke through the air.
"Ang-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-!!"
The arrow that flew toward me like a ray of light entangled with a golden divine dragon and let out a loud dragon roar!
Without giving everyone time to react, the arrows entangled by the dragon pierced through their field of vision.
"Varied…!?"
Someone let out a cry of shock and fear, which was the subconscious panic of high-level adventurers in the face of a crisis.
The arrow, entangled by the dragon, ignored the gathering of fighting prostitutes and flew straight toward Phryne.
"What!!"
The pupils of the great toad Phryne shrank sharply, the muscles of its entire body tensed, and the huge golden dragon instantly enlarged in front of its eyes.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
What follows is a frightening explosion!
"Boom--!!!"
The golden divine dragon exploded with a bang, igniting flames in an instant and sending out a roaring torrent of magical power that devastated the aerial garden.
The burst of magical light burned everyone's eyes, and with the loud screams that deafened their eardrums, everyone around was shocked.
In the vast sky garden, the golden magic lotus bloomed.
Phryne, who was in the center, was instantly engulfed in flames.
The prostitutes fighting around her were also affected, and the explosions were mixed with screams.
The huge explosion shocked everyone present
Even those nearby who were not directly injured were still affected by the fierce wave of the blast.
At the central altar, Haruhime was stunned, her skin gently caressed by the hot wind carrying the glow of golden magic.
"Enemy attack!"
"There is an intruder!"
"Alert! Prepare to fight!!"
After being deprived of the opportunity to take the initiative, these fighting prostitutes began to scream, took up their weapons, and prepared to confront the enemy.
It was at this moment that a black-robed figure entered her field of vision.
The visitor had a long knife at his waist and a simple longbow in his hand.
On his right arm, the golden dragon tattoo still shone, blossoming with a golden light.
Without a doubt, the dragon arrow he had just shot was fired by him, and the struggling prostitutes were wary of him!
But at the same time, she was also confused. Because an unknown adventurer could never perform such an attack.
But… among the high-level adventurers in the city, had she ever heard of someone using a bow?
"Well! Heroes always appear at critical moments! Right, Haruhime?"
Or is it that the protagonist always acts at the right moment?
At least that's how it is in the novels.
"I'm here, so don't worry next time."
"Damn boy!!"
Phryne, who was at the center of the explosion, did not die immediately.
This was also because Link controlled the spread of magical power to avoid harming Haruhime, who was not far away.
She stared at Link with wide eyes.
As for Haruhime, seeing the black hair, black eyes, and familiar voice, she couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart.
He really is here!
"Be like the princess from 'The Legend of Zelda' that I gave you, and you must have faith that your brave self will definitely come to save you."
Haruhime remembered what Link had inadvertently said when he gave her "The Legend of Zelda."
At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but now that she thinks about it, it turns out to be like this...
"Master Link!!"
Haruhime suddenly cried out, "Lord Link! I don't want to die!!"
Hearing this heartfelt cry for help, Link couldn't help but smile, "Well, friends of the Ishtar Family, the game begins!"
...
The sudden explosion resounded around the Ishtar Family Temple, and almost all of the Ishtar Family members sensed the movement.
Of course, they also discovered the explosive flames that bloomed like flowers from the sky garden.
Fortunately, in preparation for the ceremony, the Ishtar people had dispersed the common folk and other adventurers around the base camp, ensuring no irrelevant people were near the temple now.
Otherwise, this scene would definitely attract crowds to watch.
Then it wouldn't be easy to fool them...
However, while there were no relevant personnel, several familiars waiting on the periphery had been there for a long time.
"Wow, this movement, did Link take action?"
Outside Night Street, Alise and the others also saw and heard the commotion.
"Then let's start acting!"
"Focus mainly on the uniforms; try not to harm anyone!"
"The suppression begins now!"
A group of adventurers headed towards Night Street.
