Readying my sniper rifle, I climb from the nearest tree and discerns where that very howl is coming from.

Hundreds of miles away, I saw someone leasurely slithering forward from above clouds as if I saw Shenron himself. Other than its Shadowy color, its horn has a different of colors of purple and gold. Its eyes is a crimson and dark combine, dark arms and legs with pointy nails. Each and every of its slither, the cloud gave way as if they welcoming their King.

It was all thanks to my [Thousand Miles Eye] that I could see the dragon clearly in this spectacled view. If thats not a monster, I saw it as a miracle.

Afterall, this is the first time in my life, saw a dragon in a flesh. Not virtually but physically witnessed. Though, from all I know, dragons is like a lizard but this one is like that of a snake—just like Goddess Alexadra mentioned. And from my first mentioned earlier, its like Shenron himself who descends.

With that, I put my [Anti-Magic Slaying Bullet] inside the rifle.

Because this ammo is very hard to cultivate, I only have 3 thus far and because of its otherworldly effect, it could destroy anyone it touch. Is what according to my appraisal after making it.

It freak the sh*t out of me after checking its description after creating, thats why I didn't try to create another bullet like this ever since

-----

Name: Anti-Magic Slaying Bullet (3/3)

Type: Bullet

Description: An ammo that could kill even gods. A God Slaying Bullet that could destroy anyone it touch and distort ones magical properties.

Damage: ☠☠☠☠☠

-----

That damage is a fraud. Really, thats 1.5 times dangerous than that Jaggernaut I fought with my life on the line below floors

I don't know how or why the hell did I create such thing, though as far as I know, all I did is to mix, reshape and cultivate the bullet during creation process—though I still have a production method here. On the side note, I created this with <Antares Poison>. The god-eater monster.

With such thought, I can't help but to squint in surprise, I see, thats how is it. That is sole requirements of this dangerous bullet. Afterall, I only creating bullets half-heartedly ecause I could create bullets using magic and [Refined Magic Stone] as a catalyst. .

Setting that thought aside, I focus my mind towards the dragon again. So for now, I am sure of one thing. This bullet is here to destroy that Dragon.

Because of this thing why I boasfully said that word to Loki Familia' captain.

This looks cheating, but if it succeeded then, the thorn from above the surface, the one who terrorize the whole world would perish here forever.

Still, I want to raid that Dragon without resorting in this cheat-like ammo. Afterall, I'm kind of a battle junkie that wants a challenge. He he. . .

"Fufufufu, this is my first day as an Adventurer, for commemoration, I'll write it inside the diary of Argo! keh keh keh" with that said and simple chuckle, the man with pointy ear and green hair covered by black hood in which only its emerald eye is exposed—took a note as he lick his pen and started to write something.

He is infront of Babel as he is about to venture the dungeon. He breathed in and out the air excitedly and open his eyes wide awake. So this is adventure! He thought.

The elf then stretch out his hand left and right and shouted "I, Argo will become the strongest Adventurer next to my brother Zetta! Remember this word very well, O' Adventurers of Orario! I Argo, new member of Loki Familia would do that!" With a smile, he exhaled.

"You hear that? New member of Loki Familia?

"Who is this Zetta by the way?"

"You don't know? Thats the sole male member of Artemis Familia!"

"Whoa, the newly ascended and now a high teir Adventurer?"

"The Barbarian!"

"Ah yes. . . The infamous Barbarian, right?"

"The infamous Barbarian of Artemis Familia who injures anyone if you dare touching his harem?!"

"But. . .did that elf just said the Strongest is that Barbarian?"

"Oh yeah? He's from Loki Familia but he idolize the person from other Familia? Thats too arrogant"

"Yeah right, he's delusional, he didn't idolize our Sword Princess or the Braver from his own Familia or even King Ottar for being the Strongest but that Barbarian? such a waste"

"Such a waste indeed"

"Lets go then, were wasting time listening from his useless shinanegans!"

Listening from the other Adventurers blabber, Argo put his hand squarely atop of his waist letting out a short snort "Stupid adventurers, you don't know him because he wanted to be discreet but his achievement are far from what you guys think!"

Remembering the story of his captain Finn Diemne, of how his brother singlehandedly destroys the Monster Rex of 17th floor-along with the Gale; how he actively commands the strongest of Loki Familia from the 18th floor calamity-type Boss; and helping his captain ascend his level and more so than meets the eye, he only grin just the thought of it

With that, he enter the dungeon "Just you wait. . . My brother. . .will make and amazingly grand appearance as the strongest and that is inevitable that even Gods cannot stop that from happening. I Argo will assure that!" is what he mutter until his sillhouette is completely gone as if the dungeon itself covers up for him

At the same time, from one of the gates of Orario. . .at Eastern side

In a place where merchants come and go and other adventurers who went out for a mission. . .

Within an empty air, big and blue magic circle of different letters and symbols emerged out of nowhere as it expands, thereafter another layer pop up from inside of the first circle. two, three—eight magic circles emerge one after another until the last circle places above near the ground, parallel to it.

After then, from that place, the distorted space stretches out—and out of nowhere, one person after another, emerged one by one, until countless of people came out from the light particle coming from that said distorted place. No sound of booming, no echoes of wind flowing but the dazzling sight, the one who witnessed the scene couldn't help but to aghasp in terror but at the same time awestruck and amazed of its beautiful grand appearance

"Were here" says by the lady at the very front as she is the one who casted this amazing magic.

From her back is the tied and pinned from the ground, Ais Wallenstein—the Kenki and pinning her is the catpeople with dark hair and tinted visor that match up his suit, Allen Fromel.

From their back is the neauseated Thor Familia; and other than the God of Thunder—others touched their stomach as if a rainbow would come out of their mouth at any given moment

"Get away!!"

"Uwaahh!"

"Aiyayaya"

"Oh sh*t, she snapped!"

Ais who said a word in rage, created winds that covering her—pushing Thor and his Familia, Allen Fromel and also, Long Ran—out of her distance.

She liberate herself out of the chain from Allen doings that restraining her and grind her teeth out of frustration, looking towards the man who subdued her. .

This is the first time—other than her doll reticent face or a face full of revenge; created such sullen face while looking at Vana Freya as if he was wronged

"W-what!? I'm only following orders of mr. Captain!" Allen only look at her and explained. He didn't afraid of anyone or even care about their beings—other than goddess Freya herself, but this is the first time he saw such face from the Kenki and pangs of guilt is biting him. . .

Yes, Ais is worried of her Master and thats what was drawn in her very face that she couldn't mask, yet mesmerizing to those who saw it. . .

Afterall, the Dragon he was facing is the suspect of her wrath of revenge. That thing is her main goal why she was still alive until now. But this time, the flame of revenge isn't there but only unsettling and distress.

At the same time, none could strike a conversation with her after noticing her worried look as others only feel sorry, afterall, it was Zetta's plan—to tie her up, but the process is. . .

Well, even Ran who just finish gulping mind potion, couldn't help but to also worry about her captain. So she partially understand the girl in front of her.

Ais then remember their conversation after their last fight

"Master, let me be your sword, please, that monster, I should be the one who kill it"

Zetta then scratches his head and answers with light sigh "If you were the one who get killed, Loki Familia will destroy my Familia for sure, how can your dead corpse compensate that?" Though he was joking, Ais flinched by his words

"I'm telling you that, because I want you to choose wisely of what decision you made. . .because no matter what your choice is, there is someone out there who will get affected. . .You are not alone in this world, please remember that"

She didn't understand what he meant so she ask "But thats not connected on me killing the Dragon and satisfy my revenge. . .I don't care if it kills me—"

"—You don't care but I am, and what I am telling you is, theres someone out there who cares. Its not that hard to understand, yes?"

She tilts her head.

Yes, she has a friend—a Family that she could count on. But for her, that and this are different matter.

As long as she obtain judgement and claim retribution, then she woudn't care whatever kind of twisted fate threw at her from here-on. Is what she thought

Noticing her 'I don't get it' kind of a face, Zetta slap his face, then look at her and continues "after your revenge, what would you do?"

Like her thought seconds ago, she answers "As long as I obtain judgement, I wouldn't care whatever kind of twisted fate threw at me from here-on"

"And?"

Again, she tilts her head like saying 'I don't care what happens next, so don't ask me'

"I'm sorry but for me, your resolve isn't enough. . .for me, you are still a child, thinking you can solve anything through returning the favor called revenge" he then follows "If I happen to kill that thing, then you can move forward without looking back, isn't that the best gift you ever receive than killing it with your own two hands? in which made you an empty soul thereafter?"

But then she retort in anger "You don't understand at all master!" And slowly hold her aching c.h.e.s.t, "as long as I saw it with my own eyes how it fell on its knee, that is the biggest gift for me, you are in no position of telling me to stop my revenge! It was you who thinks like a child, thinking this flame burning inside my heart would vanish out of thin air just because its dead! It made me even more empty if that thing wouldn't fall within my own two hands!"

"—Then if you die, who would be the next in line for revenge after you?. . .Oh I know, Bell Cranel. If you die, he too did his best he could—to kill it. Of course he too would stop me from killing it like what you did" again, she twitched by Zetta's very word.

"The endless cycle of revenge and carnage. It won't stop until that thing dies. And in the end, it doesn't matter who will do the job done. Thats why I'm telling you to stop being so stubborn and instead look for tomorrow. So let me handle that thing, hm? how is it? I told you its the best gift you ever receive, to freed from that never-ending flame, called revenge" Zetta then stroke her golden hair with smile

Zetta chuckles that she become obedient hearing the little rabbit's name as they two become even more close under his tutelege. . .even though Ais is almost do the job done.

And afterall, she herself knew her difference with Bell and afraid he would become like the current her

Just thinking that his ruby eyes gleaming in life towards his goal-changed its color to hollow black of vengeance made Ais cringed in discomfort. But why would Bell will ravenge after her if that happens? Ais couldn't connect what her master meant.

With that, she then mutters "look for tomorrow", then remembers that she heard that word before.

'Riveria, she said that exact same word after hearing my story, but at that time. . .I don't understand what she meant'

She then look at Zetta who is stretching, their battle has just finish so his muscle is a bit aching—Ais then let out a word "master, did Riveria told you anything about me or my past?"

But he only look at her in confusion "We're not that close, I don't even remember talking with her casually, or alone"

'I see, as I thought'

Thereafter, Zetta look at her who already returning towards their camp

"let's return?" He said while reaching out his hand towards her

Ais take his hand and stands up with light response, her seemingly unexchange expression is what made her even more charming, because if she is happy, one could see many bright lightings dancing behind her back. Too bad for Zetta, he didn't notice this kind of 'once in a while' Ais Wallenstein.

—And after replaying that simple exchange of words run through the back of her mind. Ais then walk towards the blood elf and god of thunder and said her goodbye. Returning towards her Familia's Manor

"F*ck, not even thanking me?"

Hearing Allen's very word, those who witnessed what happen before teleportation cough up subconsciously, forgetting the neusea they feel and wanted to tell these catpeople 'shameless bastard'.
