Chapter 346 - The Ice Divine Has Died
Akaro appeared in her human body.
For many, it would be like a living statue of the god suddenly appearing before them. In this disaster summoned by those gods, anyone from the world pillar would think of Akaro as the angel meant to help them.
However, her eyes never left the husband, even if Hana openly commented, "That lucky guy… Such a hot babe had been hiding by his side!" Her words never stopped despite her heart already beating regularly.
For the blacksmith, the gods were still a dubious matter. Thus, her eyes had been fixed on Akaro just to appreciate her beauty. Even if the husband did his best to hide Akaro's presence, how could the normal cat survive all his adventurers?
The hot babe's appearance was well hidden, though.
Akaro spoke, "Kyoya… The chaos will continue and it's best for us to wait until it dies down." It would be pointless to go around and even more to try to see through this phenomenon. With Akaro's appearance, the burden of the chaos became weaker and all of them could sigh with relief.
Until it settled on, Akaro decided to summon her flames around the husband's party and kept them floating in its embrace. Her divine knowledge did wonders already and the one who had it the worst was Hana.
She couldn't find balance and rolled around like a clueless monkey.
"Stay still," Kyoya laughed faintly, then wrapped his arms around the tanned blacksmith. His smile quickly entered Hana's eyes and she leaned down on him to enjoy the husband's embrace, which for her, was really rare considering what had happened between them.
"Misfortune turned fortune! Nice! Haha!" She laughed happily.
Alas, the good time lasted for less than five minutes.
Various elements that began to take hybrid forms through environment, monsters or even other races, became lost in this new surge of power. They often bumped into Akaro's divine embrace and her flames flickered.
She got forced to move around, so to weaken the burden, Kyoya and Xiaoxiao decided to not rely on her too much. Still, Hana clung to the husband's back and let out her blacksmith techniques that further weakened the burden.
In this whole setup, the husband requested, "Maybe we can try locating Josef and the rest?"
Akaro's flames moved more around the crater, answering the husband's desire silently. The tsundere word nearly left his lips, but he chuckled and kept his eyes scanning the chaos as well.
Floating rocks, the moving ground and even lightning going from the sky; everything disturbed those eyes that wanted to find his friends.
"A pulling force has wrapped itself around us," Akaro commented.
The force pushed the husband's party up and slowly dragged them toward one of the floating islands. Those islands had particularly caught the husband's interest and it seemed like a ticket was given to them.
[The Ice Divine has died.]
"What's up with such timing?!" Kyoya blurted out, his eyes looking over the new messages while his party continued to float up.
He read that The Ice Divine's soul had finally been taken by the first death god. Would that mean death? Yes, but the god surely would reincarnate with a wealthy background for what he had achieved in his prime.
The husband just blamed the timing as he planned to mourn over this god that entered his life suddenly and disappeared similarly…
The Ice Resistance that was the blessing from the ice god lost its permanent state and became a temporary boost. Though temporary, it lasted for quite a long time, so Kyoya could fulfill the quest The Ice Divine had spoken about in the past.
The quest to get ice knives out of his divinity.
[The Ice Divine's blessing has located the inheritance in the Agatha World Pillar.]
"I know what I will do next, I guess… Akaro, can you tell what's above?" Kyoya shifted his eyes to Akaro who had been peeking at him. She replied instantly after her face also turned to the ceiling.
Through the flames above, one could see strange glyphs materializing around the floating island. Those glyphs were written in a language that Kyoya couldn't read, but he felt some familiarity out of it.
Akaro was the one who explained, "This is the will." The more appropriate name would be the divine will. Described in those glyphs were the challenges that the gods wanted the mortals to go through.
They believed that the hybrid would be born out of it. A hybrid that would help them achieve the similar state through their divine energies. Of course, atop this floating island, the monsters with two different beliefs were prepared to welcome the husband.
He looked over at them, "Well, they look kinda shabby." Their appearance was unsightly, to say the least. The monsters were like humanoid trolls, but even trolls would be cute compared to those.
Though mindless, those glaring eyes seemed to contain feelings that no tool should ever have. The killing intent surged when Kyoya and his party got closer to them, then they raised their thick arms.
The trolls here had wind and earth as their elements.
"They stink. That's what gods had planned for them? To bring their disgusting breath towards us?" Hana commented while holding her nose.
Xiaoxiao chuckled, "I think they would puke if they heard you, Hana. What do you think, Akaro?"
Akaro replied, "At most, they would slap her away."
"The husband wouldn't let them," Hana crossed her arms with confidence, but she quickly regretted it as her hand retracted to the nose. She glanced at the husband who was laughing more than he should!
Her eyes glared and forced him to say something, "I wouldn't, of course. We all develop in the battles, so they want to do the same. I wonder how often the gods fight, though." This question would be answered later on as Kyoya sprung up.
He tore through the flames that treated him the best, then took out his cards. One by one, the various cards drew out their trajectories and circled around the trolls, "I can't keep my son in that jack box, can I?" The floating island was one of the safest grounds, at least for now.
Kyoya just had to get rid of all those monsters which would be what the gods wanted, but his sealing card and death god powers would rain on the divine's parade.
