Ishtar said this very seriously. Belle looks to be only 14 years old. A first-level adventurer at the age of only 14 years old, with such talent, in three years she will be another Ota. Before long, she will be able to surpass all the children of the Freya Familia and become the strongest in the city.
Haruhime is utterly insignificant.
As she spoke, she also used her charm, but it was still ineffective on Belle.
The goddess of beauty was bewildered and uncertain after being ignored twice in one day:
Could it be that she and the armored man are the same person?
Belle shook her head upon hearing this: "I'm sorry, I have no intention of converting, and you can't stop me today!"
Ishtar wasn't angry. She licked her lips and commanded, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Capture her alive!"
Frini had long been unable to suppress her anger. She had just seen that the person in front of her ignored the goddess's charm and directly equated Shaga and Belle in her insect-filled brain.
The kick that Shaga had given her earlier still left a mark on her stomach. Fueled by both old and new grudges, she channeled her power into a swinging axe at Belle.
The surrounding Amazons also drew their weapons and joined Frini in the attack.
Belle's eyes narrowed, and she leaped back five steps in quick succession, soon being surrounded by the Amazons behind her.
After dodging a knife to the side, he did a small backflip to avoid a sweeping kick, then used one hand to prop himself up and used both feet to spin and kick away two soldiers who were trying to sneak up on him.
The moment he landed, the short sword blocked Aisha's giant blade.
With a clang, the weapons clashed.
They clashed more than ten times in quick succession.
Aisha retreated, while behind her, Frini's enormous figure swung her battle axe and roared towards them.
"There's no escaping it..."
Bell's gaze sharpened, and his arm emitted a hazy white light, at which moment a resounding bell rang.
Ding~ Ding~~ Ding~~~
The tolling of the bells echoed through the silent night, reaching the ears of all who witnessed the battle.
……
High up in the tower, Metaria burst into tears the moment she heard the bells: "Sister, did you hear that? She did not disappoint my expectations of her; she has inherited this tradition of chiming bells."
Alfia's expression was equally complex: "This is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard."
……
on the battlefield
Belle lowered her body, completed her charge, and before the giant axe could strike, her short blade suddenly erupted with scorching flames. Facing the ferocious slash that seemed to destroy the earth, Belle did not retreat but advanced, unleashing a slash wrapped in scorching flames.
"Argo Vista!"
The short blade and the giant axe clashed, and terrifying power erupted in an instant.
Belle realized for the first time that she was no longer the naive girl who could only barely cope with level 5 opponents by relying on level advancement.
She now possesses power far exceeding what she once had.
Am I getting a little closer to her now?
She recalled the golden-haired elf she couldn't reach back in the dungeon.
'Now, I should be able to protect her, right?'
Belle's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the flames in her eyes intensified by a third...
“Aaaaaaaaaaa——”
Her arm muscles bulged, and Hestia's Blade transformed into a scorching white light, cleaving Frini's battle axe in two.
Flames seared Flint's eyes, followed by another powerful kick from Belle.
boom--
This left-handed kick landed right on the footprint that Shaga had left earlier. The already injured Frini felt her internal organs churn, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body rolled away like a ball once again.
Ishtar's eyelids twitched wildly as she watched the situation unfold.
That familiar pose, that familiar angle...
You still say you have nothing to do with that armored man?
Although Frini was knocked away, the Familia's offensive did not end. Tamuz, the vice-captain of the Ishtar Familia, took advantage of a gap in Belle's attack and locked Belle's waist from behind.
Belle cried out in surprise, stomped her foot hard on the ground, and threw herself and Tamuz behind her to the ground.
His elbow landed on Tamuz's side, and the sharp pain made him release his grip.
Belle rolled away to dodge the weapons that had fallen to the ground, and as she stood up, she unleashed two bolts of fire and lightning, forcing back the Amazons who were surrounding her.
Belle, not one to back down, unleashed a barrage of fiery lightning bolts as if they were free, instantly igniting the entire Pleasure Street with a raging inferno.
The situation then became clear.
After losing their strongest fighter, the attack on Belle clearly weakened.
To prevent the goddess from being harmed, Tamuz prioritized escorting Ishtar away.
Belle gasped for breath as the spell ended.
After another ten minutes or so of wrapping up...
There were only a few Amazons left in front of her, but one figure was still relentlessly attacking her.
“Aisa-san…”
"Tell me, where do you intend to take Haruhime?"
Belle's expression was complicated: "We just don't want to see her in pain!"
Aisha ruthlessly wielded her greatsword, forcing the exhausted Belle back with punches and kicks, and she didn't forget to question her:
"Have you ever thought about what kind of situation you will face in the future after you took Chun Ji away?"
"If that child's magic is exposed, other clans will have their eyes on her and snatch her away from you. Are you prepared to fight against the entire city? Or rather, are you prepared to protect her?"
Belle paused for a second. If this were her original world, she would have confidently said, "I can!" But here...
"Sorry, I can't do it."
Aisha angrily brandished her knife: "Then what kind of hero are you? You gave that child hope, only to plunge her into despair in the end?"
Belle looked up, her eyes deep, and calmly blocked the weapon, saying:
“I will find her a family that can protect her. Even if she can't change her sect or become an adventurer again, she can live like an ordinary person.”
Aisha pressed the greatsword down forcefully, her sharp eyes fixed on Belle's serious face.
This guy should be able to defeat me instantly, but he always holds back...
Because of what?
Moreover, she seemed to know me very well...
Thoughts passed in a flash.
It took Aisha a full 15 seconds to slowly withdraw her hand and sling the broadsword over her shoulder: "Tch, never mind."
Belle stopped, puzzled, and sheathed her sword: "Aisa-san?"
Aisha slowly turned around, scratched her hair, and said in an impatient voice:
"At this point, what else can I do but believe you? We don't know where you took Chunji, and our attempt at violence failed miserably. Now, I just hope you're not lying to me..."
"If I find out that Chunji is not doing well, no matter where you are, I will find you and whip your corpse a hundred times."
"Be prepared!"
Belle stood amidst the flames, a radiant smile on her face:
"Yes!"
Chapter 346 Freya: Well done!
Belle watched Aisha leave, then quickly moved toward the deserted alley.
After her figure disappeared from everyone's sight, a starlight rose up in front of her.
Shaga was wearing full armor, concealing her face. Miko was dressed in a black cloak, disguised, and accompanied by her rabbit mother.
The group appeared as the starlight shone through them.
"Belle~~ Honey!!! Let Mommy hug you~~!"
The moment Metluth appeared, she pounced on Belle and hugged her, rubbing her head against her chest.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Belle raised her hands and struggled, but dared not use force at all.
The death stare from his aunt, who was also his mentor, seemed to say: "Take a step and I'll kill you."
Belle could only let this unfamiliar woman knead her... and even left a large puddle of drool on her face.
Belle looked at Shaga with pleading eyes.
