"If you say that, then I won't waste my time."

Ishtar walked into the control room and glanced at Kali.

"I am here to inspect that thing."

"Inspection?"

"That's right. I want to see the quality of the thing that you have promised me."

Ishtar made the condition as a matter of course.

"That thing..."

Thanatos had a headache, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "But Revis-chan has said many times that you mustn't take that out. If we anger Revis-chan, I will be in big trouble!

"This is your problem!"

Ishtar was unmoved and just sneered.

"I have spent so many years with you, and of course, I have the right to inspect the thing, or do you want me to withdraw my investment?"

Thanatos groaned, and he must admit this goddess was really difficult to deal with.

As long as she wanted something, she would get it, and no one would be able to stop her.

The construction of the man-made dungeon was expensive.

The entire dungeon was made from a super-hard metal, and countless gates were made from the hardest metal. In order to build this place, an astronomical amount of money had been spent for thousands of years.

And those funds were almost all provided by Ishtar.

Ishtar opened the biggest brothel and accumulated her wealth. Her money and influence were so great that she was almost in control of a block on the Orario. The money she gave had never stopped for thousands of years, and she had given them a lot of money.

Due to her support, the Daedalus family was able to complete this man-made dungeon.

Once she decided to stop, it would lead to a big problem.

"What? What? Did you hide something interesting from me? Quickly tell me! I have sacrificed so much! Don't keep a secret from me!"

Kali approached them full of enthusiasm. "Take it out! Take it out quickly! Let me take a look!

"Looks like Revis-chan will scold me."

Thanatos sighed while looking at the ceiling blankly.

The two goddesses had asked, so he couldn't refuse this request.

"Okay. Let's see the power of this experiment on the Loki Familia. Let's see how powerful this bull of heaven is."

---

The sound of a collision between two blades could be heard constantly.

An emerald green wind roared in the passage.

Ais used her wind to the limit, wrapped it around her blade, and swung the sword with all of her might.

*BOOOOOOOOOOM!*

However, the great black sword slashed it without any tricks.

At the moment of the collision, a tremendous force came from the sword, which made Ais's slander arm shake violently, and the numbness attacked half of her body, making her a mess.

One sword was enough to destroy everything.

Revis's strength was too strong, and after she destroyed Ais's posture, she stepped forward and gave another slash diagonally.

'I can't stop it!'

Ais made a judgment in an instant, and the wind wrapped around her legs, retreating quickly.

"Are you just going to run away?"

Revis snorted coldly, and her face showed pride coming from the victory.

In this battle, Ais couldn't hurt her with a single sword. Instead, she was the one who was chased and chopped by Revis.

"Where is your previous smug face?"

Ais could see the joy of shamelessness on Revis's face.

The battle on the 18th Floor was quite better since Ais won against Revis with Tsukasa's help, but on the 24th Floor, she had won against Revis with an overwhelming advantage, but in this third battle, she fell into a disadvantage.

However, she couldn't be blamed since Revis's strength had reached Level 7!

Even if Ais wrapped the wind around her sword, it wouldn't be her opponent at all, and even a single simple swing of her sword was enough to destroy her attack and defense.

There was no technique, magic, or whatever, only pure force.

Under the pursuit of Revis, Ais could only run away in embarrassment in the passage, relying on the speed and dexterity provided by the wind, so she wouldn't lose her life.

"What—!"

Suddenly, Ais's face changed.

Ahead the passage was closed by the gate!

This passage was a dead end!

A soft humming sound came from behind.

"Die, Aria!"

The airflow behind her suddenly vibrated violently.

Before the sound of the wind could be heard, Ais felt an alarm inside her heart and quickly turned to block this attack instantly!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

The speed of their collision was impossible to be seen with eyes.

The terrifying power made Ais shocked, and her defense was shattered instantly.

Ais's light body was blasted out in the blink of an eye, hitting the Oricalchum gate.

'It hurts!'

Every part of her body was screaming in pain.

Ais struggled to get up before falling to the ground with a thud. The pain in her arms made her realize her arm was broken, and her skirt and armor were stained with blood.

The blood dripped from her forehead, staining her right eye red.

"This is the end."

Revis approached Ais without the slightest pity in her eyes.

"...no."

Instantly, Ais's brain went blank.

It's over.

She knew it well.

Her entire body was injured, and her sword was thrown out. At this moment, she didn't have any resistance left.

'Am I going to die here?'

Would no one come to save you?

Would no one come to reach your hand?

Just like that time?

Her mind returned to the past, a past full of blood and fire.

When she was seven years old, a monster invaded the village, her father went to fight it, and her mother went to the battlefield together.

She waited for them, but her mother was gone, then her father next.

Their bodies were full of blood, which was enough to create a small pond of blood.

The village was covered in flames, and the vicious roar of monsters echoed everywhere.

"Sorry."

When she was young, she longed for a hero and asked her father to be her hero, but her father touched her head and made a loving expression at her mother. At that time, her mother always showed a happy smile.

"I am already your mother's hero, I can't be your hero, but sooner or later, you will find your own hero."

Under Riveria's scolding, she used revenge as her driving force to squeeze the potential into her body, walking on the brink of death again and again, killing monsters, and gaining strength.

Yes, there were no heroes.

Her own hero didn't exist.

She must and could only rely on herself.

In a dim passage, Ais was lying on the ground, her body was covered in blood, and her eyes were blank.

The black sword fell mercilessly toward her neck.

In just a moment, the head of the famous Sword Princess would fall from her white neck, and she would die without feeling even a trace of pain.

However, at this moment, a black flash appeared in her vision.

The ray of light was like a morning light that cut through the darkness.

No, it wasn't a light. Instead, there was stronger darkness.

The darkness came at the end of the darkness and swallowed the approaching darkness.

Under the harsh sound of sword clash, a black nodachi blocked the great black sword.

"Get away from her!"

With a loud shout, a second flash appeared and swallowed everything.

"You will find your hero in the future."

Staring at his figure, Ais's heart was beating fast, and she knew she had found her hero.
