The first duel was ready to begin, the arrow on the string.
And Ishtar, who had intended to withdraw, now wore an expression of keen interest.
"Those two girls are Amazons as well."
"It's a pity they didn't join my Familiar. What a waste."
Tione and Tiona are warriors from the distant "Nation of Combat," Teluskyura. The race there is predominantly Amazon, and their main god, "Kali," is a zealot who thrives on conflict.
Amazon girls are confined together from just a few years old to undergo brutal fighting training. Only the one who survives until the very end earns the title of warrior.
In this viper pit-like environment, Tione and Tiona ultimately excelled.
They earned the opportunity to leave their country and travel the world. After a long journey, they arrived in Orario.
Because of the Amazon's warlike nature and their Level 3 strength at such a young age, the "310" were sought after by many.
Ultimately, the Loki Familia won them over with their strength, overriding all other opinions.
Such an instance is rare, as due to the Amazon's nature, they almost always join Ishtar's Familia.
Furthermore, in the Sword Oratoria side story, Ishtar has a cooperative relationship with the distant Kali Familia.
"Heh-heh, while their aptitude is excellent, they are but two fledglings," Ishtar licked her lips, her appearance alluring and seductive: "If I have the chance, I'll let them taste the flavor of primal desire."
"The two little girls will surely switch to my side."
Her words stopped there, but what she was thinking inwardly was that the addition of two exceptionally talented Amazon girls would greatly enhance her combat power.
Then, with the help of the "Killing Stone" ritual, everyone's level would increase.
The Freya Familia would be nothing more than clay chickens and earthen dogs!
Aisha could more or less guess the thoughts of her Goddess for staying to watch the show.
She sighed softly, as Amazons are almost powerless to defy Ishtar. This is a factor of bloodline; relying on willpower to resist is pure nonsense.
"Lady Ishtar, do you think they can win?"
"Who knows," Ishtar waved her hand casually, entirely unconcerned.
She only needed power that she could utilize. This was a good chance to check the level of the two sisters.
And also…
The Goddess narrowed her slender, beautiful eyes. These green monsters were unheard of and came from the Dark Faction. Could it be…
...that they were products related to the "Fallen Spirit"?
Heh-heh, if it was as she suspected, then she really needed to observe this battle closely.
To bring down Freya, Ishtar would utilize every power available, including the Dark Faction.
Over the years, she had secretly invested a massive amount of money, becoming a benefactor to the Dark Faction.
In return, those lunatics had promised to gift her a weapon of immense power.
According to the information they disclosed, its source was none other than the "Fallen Spirit"!
It didn't matter how many mortals died! In a few years, they would spring up again like weeds.
Only that detestable, foul woman, Freya, must be ruthlessly trampled underfoot by me!
Ishtar's obsession had reached its peak. Her reputation was overshadowed in the Heaven realm.
And on the ground, that suppression persisted. Gods do not change, so this resentment would never be resolved—unless one of the two Gods was eliminated!
Heh-heh, let them fight until they are both injured underground. No matter the result, I will profit!
"You are not to intervene from now on," Ishtar commanded over her shoulder.
"Hehehe, Lady Ishtar is truly wicked~"
A bloated, colossal figure appeared beside Aisha, emitting a harsh, grating voice.
Her appearance was beyond ugly; she was stout, had a large head, breathed heavily, and lacked all the racial advantages of an Amazon.
The "Man Killer," Phryne Jamil, the Level 5 captain of the Ishtar Familia, was an individual feared and shunned even within the Familia.
"Such a perfect scene, yet you won't let us show off our beauty. How are we supposed to hook men then?"
Phryne's toad-like face showed a spine-chilling smile. Her perception of beauty seemed to have a racial bias.
If she were in the KonoSuba world, she would undoubtedly be an unparalleled beauty among the Giant Frog race!
But as a human, she was the world's number one delusional woman.
She not only looked down on the beauties in the Familia, led by Aisha, but privately even thought Ishtar was inferior to herself.
Any man she set her eyes on would be ruthlessly tied up and dragged to the Familia headquarters to be forcibly violated with the strongest aphrodisiacs.
Due to this savage style of action, she earned the title "Man Killer." Yet, she believed she was a killer who charmed men to death with her beauty!
"Just contain yourself for now..." Ishtar always ignored the atrocities of her subordinates: "We can't afford losses if this place collapses."
"Kuku, it serves those ugly girls right if they die, but since Lady Ishtar has spoken, I shall condescend to keep an eye on them!"
She took large strides and vanished back into the shadows.
Aisha maintained a cold expression throughout. She and this toad demon were absolutely incompatible.
I'll deal with you sooner or later!
Aisha clenched her fist. With the Grimoire gifted by Eugene, her combat power had increased significantly.
As long as she could level up quickly, eliminating a toad would be easy, right?
But then she reconsidered. Lately, she and Lena had been inseparable from that scoundrel, glued to him every day.
They hadn't returned to the Familia in days—where would she find time to train!
At this thought, the naturally aloof beauty felt her face flush, and she lowered her head.
Damn it, I've become utterly dependent on that guy!
On the other side, the powerful members of the Ganesha Familia present were urgently rushing back.
For this festival, they had assigned six Level 5 members, including their Captain, making it an impressive lineup.
Yet, despite this, they were played for fools. Too careless! Several years of ease had led to a lapse in security.
Who would have thought that the Coliseum, which should have been the safest place, had become a gigantic prison for hostages?
Shakti Varma, the "Elephant God's Staff," struggled to remain calm, organizing her subordinates to surround the venue.
She had a premonition that this disturbance was definitely not simple!
Just then, a figure speeding from above caught her attention. Ais Wallenstein walked on the wind, landing gracefully before Shakti.
"Sword Princess!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt instantly more at ease. Due to her Wind Magic, Ais's mobility was top-tier among Level 5s, even surpassing Finn's.
"The situation is unclear, and the entrance to the venue is blocked."
"Our main force will begin action from various corners. Until then, I hope you can fly into the Coliseum and help maintain order!"
Ais didn't hesitate when faced with Shakti's request, nodding in acceptance.
Her toe touched the ground, and just as she was about to take off again, a loud explosion echoed within the arena.
The battle inside had already begun.
