By the way, where's Artemis? Perhaps to alleviate the increasingly tense atmosphere in the Denatus hall, the long brown-haired goddess looked around and asked.
Ah, she took on a quest to investigate a monster riot three days ago. Right now, she should be on her way to the Great Tree Labyrinth. A deity who had a good relationship with the Moon Goddess replied, a teasing smile flashing across her face as she spoke.
If Artemis were still here, seeing her weapon being held by a boy, she would definitely jump up in anger and say things like 'unclean' or 'divine punishment.'
The other gods also smiled wryly.
After all, she's the disciplinary committee member After all, she's the class representative After all, she's the Virgin Goddess~
...
Returning to the plain outside Orario.
Levi, in his Heroic Spirit possession state, and Ottar still stood in place. He certainly wouldn't foolishly charge forward immediately.
He immediately chanted the incantation for the Goddesses' Loving Protection magic: Hestia, Artemis, I pray to you now, please grant me the Goddesses' Loving Protection!
The brilliant moonlight fell once more. However, it didn't envelop Levi; instead, it transformed into the phantom of a blue-haired woman.
At the same moment, the phantom of the twin-tailed goddess also appeared behind Levi. One embraced his waist, the other his neck.
Upon touching Levi, they dissolved into countless specks of light, merging into his body.
Seeing the young man in front of him crouch slightly, adopting a stance as if preparing to attack, Ottar opened his mouth: Are you ready?
Levi didn't choose to preemptively attack, nodding upon hearing the question.
Then...
Then...
Fight! x2
The next second. Both Ottar and Levi vanished from their spots.
Almost simultaneously, Clang! A metallic clash suddenly rang out.
Followed by continuous Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! ...
Ottar was a top-tier Lv.7 adventurer whose ability scores, excluding Magic, had reached the Lv.7 peak stage at every level. Combined with skills that could greatly supplement his ability scores, he wouldn't flinch even if an Lv.8 adventurer or monster appeared.
Levi, needless to say, had maxed out his attributes to their limit every time he leveled up. From Lv.0 with 999, to Lv.1 with 1099, then Lv.2 with 1299, and Lv.3 with 1599.
That is, for Lv.4 and Lv.5, because he hadn't officially leveled up yet, when 'Demi-Servant Summoning' was activated, the converted potential ability was only B-rank, 700 points.
Otherwise, if Levi's normal Falna level had reached Lv.6, he could have effortlessly defeated Ottar. Of course, 'if' is still 'if'.
The reality was that because his Falna was one level lower than Ottar's, even with the double buff from the Genshin Gacha artifact and the Magic Core, plus the 200 points of Strength provided by the Moon Goddesses' Loving Protection, Levi only slightly surpassed Ottar in terms of raw power.
Other stats like Dexterity and Agility were still slightly inferior.
After all, it was his extraordinary temperament combined with soul-stealing spear techniques that allowed him to fight Ottar evenly in close combat.
After taking a greatsword slash from Ottar with his shield, and simultaneously forcing him back with a flourish of his long spear, Levi sighed inwardly: 'As expected, I still need to use magic.'
Next, on his left and right sides, a wine bottle and a talisman, condensed from ice element, appeared out of thin air.
The former fell to the ground, transforming into a dense, alcoholic mist domain.
The latter scattered into countless specks of light, embedding a 'Salvation Talisman' into Ottar's body.
'The Fierce's' combat experience was incredibly rich; by the time the Strongest Special Blend and Sage Art: Salvation from Misery had finished activating, he already felt a significant drop in his strength.
However, he possessed the 'Abnormal Resistance' Development Ability, so he didn't receive the full debuff. Only his current Strength ability score dropped by about 300 points.
That being said, Ottar, who had previously used his attribute advantage to suppress Levi, now surprisingly resorted to guerrilla tactics he had never employed before.
Despite his physique exceeding two meters, he dodged left and right, his fighting style appearing incredibly unrestrained.
It wasn't that Levi was being unrestrained in his fighting style because of his elemental shield. Throughout the entire process, he didn't make a single defensive move, instead preparing for and, from time to time, seizing opportunities with the 'Sage Art: Ice Ghost Envoy' floating beside him.
Unfortunately, his opponent wasn't foolish either.
Although he suffered considerable damage from the ice element attacks of the alcoholic mist domain beneath his feet and the coordinated attacks from the Eye of Baleful Thunder, he also activated 'I Fight, Therefore I Am,' which temporarily granted him the 'Healing Power' Development Ability that continuously restored his life.
Realizing Levi intended to trade blows, Ottar, for the first time since the battle began, chose to retreat.
Ottar, the strongest, actually retreated?!
This scene left all the gods in the Denatus hall with expressions of astonishment.
Wait, did he just drink a potion?!
By the gods, you're this kind of 'Fierce'!
Ottar tossed the empty glass bottle aside, his expression growing even more serious: Levi Bright, you are stronger than I anticipated.
Levi didn't choose to ambush him, raising an eyebrow upon hearing this: To deal with you, I've also prepared quite a few things.
Ottar resumed his battle stance: I am going to use magic now.
If you can withstand this move of mine. Ottar paused there, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appearing on his face: Then I haven't lied either.
Magic, huh~ Levi's lips also curled slightly. Then, to show my respect, I'll use my strongest attack too.
'The Fierce', try not to die.
After speaking, both began to unleash their ultimate moves.
Ottar stood firm, rapidly chanting: Sorrow of the silver moon, golden plain...
Levi, meanwhile, tossed the Artemis's Arrow in his hand into the air.
The next instant, the divine weapon projection, which had originally appeared as a long spear, truly lived up to its name, transforming into a crescent longbow and an energy arrow.
Ottar finished chanting his magic spell, and a bright white light quickly condensed on the blade of the greatsword he held.
Hiddes Vini!
Levi also almost simultaneously activated his treasure, raising his right hand in a pistol-shooting gesture and saying: Tri-star Amore Mio (Moon Goddess's Loving Arrow of Love)!
The energy arrow shot out from the crescent longbow.
Ottar, roaring, swung his enhancement magic as an attack.
Light met light in the air.
At this moment, the entire plain fell silent.
Then, in an instant, an unprecedented massive explosion occurred.
Space, torn with slight fissures, continuously pulled in everything around it, as if threatening to destroy the world.
And just at this moment, Levi's voice suddenly rang out again: Now, the time of annihilation!
