Out in sea was a large fishing ship that left Melens port and Lolog Lake, they have been out at sea for a while and have caught a massive amount of fish and were On their way back to Melen.

"Captain, should we get more fish? We only caught enough that we'll have to back out to sea in a month from now" said his first mate walking up to him.

"Normally id say yes, but you've seen it. Fish are suddenly becoming more scarce around here, even though they have always been plentiful until just a month ago" said the captain. "I don't understand what's going on, but maybe when we return, we should tell lord Njord to send a messenger crow to Orario"

"We don't need them, we may not be as strong as the Familias from that city, we are strong enough to deal with a-" the captain was cut off when the entire ship was halted, suddenly "what was that?".

"I think we hit a reef!" Yelled someone at the front of the ship.

"Rear the rudder, then hard to port than hard to starboard" said the captain as he walked forward to see the damage they took, but once he got closer to the edge a massive tentacle shot out of the water and grabbed him before pulling him in.

The entire crew froze in horror and fear before some snapped out of it.

"KRAKEN!!!!" Yelled one as he ran towards a chest in the captains room and pulled out a sword and ran out to defend the crew as the only person who made it to level two.

He looked around, but then multiple arms shot out of the water and some of the tentacles were small while others were larger.

Charging forward he cut one of the arms and it recoiled in pain, but before he could do anything else, another tentacle shot forward, but this one was different from the others as the end of it opened up showing three different parts and was covered in suction cups. Each one had small teeth around the suction cups and the mouth grabbed him with the teeth immediately sinking into his flesh.

The entire crew watched in horror was he was pulled into the tentacle that had a small mouth inside it and bit him in half, killing him before it pulled him in more making his body dissappear.

Everyone began trying desperately to fight it off, but nothing they did worked as the tentacles just kept destroying the ship and the other arms that had mouths on them, kept snatching crew members away and eating them.

But then they all saw it, two massive tentacles came out of the water where each suction cup had those small teeth, but at the end of the tentacles it widened out and this part had massive hooks in them that were as large as a person. They watched in horror as the arms came down and with just the weight of them, the ship was torn in half like a twig.

The kraken then began to use it's tentacles to tilt the ship to its mouth where it began eating everyone and any stragglers in the water nearby, we're snatched up by its tentacles that had mouths in them.

The ship was never seen after this and no one survived to tell the people of Melen or Orario that the Kraken has returned and because of this, it'd continue it's hunt for more food to grow larger.

Rose was at home reading a book that Nazza had her buy and it was telling her about all the things she should eat and avoid eating while pregnant. Nazza also told her lots of other things, like how skin ship was extremely important for her and Bell, to place a special oil on her stomach when it grows to help it heal from any stretch marks.

The book itself also mentioned that given she's a werewolf and Bell is a human, she'd have to eat more bread and vegetables for the baby instead of as much meat as she eats.

Rose couldn't stop herself from smiling and she rubbed her hand over her stomach and couldn't stop the smile growing more and was looking forward to her stomach growing and how Bell would react.

Her and the others in the home being Hestia, Artemis and Nazza heard the front door slam open and they all looked to only see everyone but Bell and Husfreya standing at the door.

"Where's Bell?" Asked Rose putting her book down and standing up.

A look of guilt filled everyone's face before Lily stepped forward "h-he was kidnapped by the Ishtar Familia and was taken away by Phryne".

"What? Why!?" Said Hestia.

Rose froze at hearing that and fear struck her heart, she's heard and read the rumors of said toad. "We have to save him! O-or...".

Another wave of fear ran through her imagining what Phryne will do to her husband.

"We will. Now, where's Husfreya?" Asked Artemis comforting Rose.

"Here" said woman said walking through the door "I'm sorry, but I had to do something very quickly".

Normally they'd all be cautious of this given the situation, but because of that they would worry about it later.

"Let's go to the red light district and save Bell, Rose I know you want to come, but given your pregnant, I can't allow that" said Hestia.

Roses ears folded back and she reluctantly nodded her head understanding "then I'll be here waiting for you all to save my husband and our Familia captain".

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bell slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a dungeon and chained to the ceiling by hand restraints, his eyes looked around the room and saw lots of torture equipment and dried blood stains everywhere. His eyes then widened even more in horror at seeing lots of sexual type equipment, but these were covered in spikes or small blades to make it painful, he even saw a whip that had small blades tied into it.

He then heard heavy breathing and turned the other way and saw Phryne looking at him while drooling madly "gehgehgeh now look at you now rabbit, so helpless and just begging me to take you".

She then walked forward and grabbed his face with her big meaty hands as more drool went down her face and covered the floor "I can't wait to make you hump till you die. Although you are my strongest man I've found yet, so I hope you'll last longer.

Her tongue then came out and licked him across the face which made Bell gag and almost puke since it smelt like a rotten corpse left in the sun all day in mid summer.

"I heard from a little birdie that your married to gehgehgeh maybe I should capture her and make her watch as I rape you" Phryne said with a evil grin.

Bells fear disappeared in that moment and instead his eyes held a look of rage.

"Leave my wife out of this you toad!" He said insulting her in his anger.

A look of rage filled her eyes and before Bell could even react, she punched him hard in the stomach and cracked the wall behind him

Bell lurched forward and almost puked from the punch and all the air in his body was knocked out in a instant.

"That's for insulting me and now I definitely will get that ugly bitch of yours gehgeh maybe I can make you watch as I use some of my favorite toys on her that make men moan in pleasure" she said.

Bell felt anger fill his body again and he tried to break free, but the restraints didn't budge a single inch, no matter how hard he pulled, even when he used his Indomitable Will skill for extra strength. But he just feeling more anger and disgust as Phryne talked about all the things she was gonna do to Rose and Zidril before his eyes to break him, so she can remake him into her new pet.

Rage was pooling in him and he felt his curse burning his back and almost felt like it was whispering into his ear that it can help him escape.

And Bell let go of his will and let the curse out.

"Hahahaha to think Ishtar believes that she's the most beautiful when you have me here and my juicy thickness, same with that bitch Freya, neither of them can compare to my beauty, isn't th-" she was cut off when she saw Bell.

His body was growing larger and white fur covered his body and before long his body transformed into his Lycanthrope form.

"W-what? Your cursed by him?" She said in shock.

Bells right arm snapped the restraints and at high level 4 speeds his claws came down and made it's mark.

"GAHHHHH MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!!!" Four massive cuts ran down her face and were deep into her skin with one almost taking her eye.

Rage filled her eyes and she stared at Bell who was trying to break the leg and last arm restraints, but she wouldn't allow that.

Marching forward, she easily caught his arm that went to slash at her and she proceeded to begin to beat him.

Bells body was getting thrown all over after each of her punches as she held nothing back and he felt bones break even in this form and then the chains snapped around his wrist.

Phryne punched his body back into the wall, before grabbing his body and slamming it into the floor, she then lifted her foot and smashed it down on his head knocking him out cold and making his body shrink back to his human form.

"You disgusting beast! How dare you leave a mark on my beautiful face, I will ride you till your brain dead" she seethed before leaving and left his broken bloody body on the floor as she went to get a healing potion and aphrodisiac.

As she left she didn't see two people standing hidden in the tunnel waiting for her to pass, before they walked into the room with one holding a healing potion.

"I'm only doing this under lady Freyas orders and you've made her happier than I've ever seen and you or your wives don't deserve this fate" said Heith as she began to heal his broken bones before using the high grade health potion.

"Thank you for helping him" said Haruhime beyond relieved.

Heith has long light red hair tied in two ponytails. She was a beautiful girl but has dead-looking eyes due to being constantly exhausted from doing her work. She was wearing a red and white apron dress, which bears the Freya Familia emblem on her shoulder, and looks similar to a nurse outfit.

It was almost instant, all his wounds were healed, he wasn't bleeding anymore and all the bones she just set, healed properly.

Heith let out a sigh before picking him up along with his gear and began to carry him out and thanked the gods that Haruhime knew about this tunnel and she led her to where Bell most likely was.

She let out a shudder as she remembered the rage that filled Freyas eyes when she was told by Allen who talked to Yukime and Haruhime who told them where Bell was.

The entire tunnel shook and she looked up "seems lady Freya has begun her attack" she said before continuing to carry Bell who was slowly regaining consciousness.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"W-whats going on?" Said Ishtar looking over her part of the city. Buildings were on fire and being destroyed left and right, she saw members running around, cutting down her members with some being killed while the rest were just put out of commission.

"WHO WOULD D-" her voice caught in her throat at what she saw and a wave of fear went through every cell of her body at what she saw.

Freya adorned in her battledress. The main part covered her chest, but nothing above it and it didn't have sleeves. It also covered her stomach and went further down to the middle of her thighs, but it looked like it sat more tight than a normal dress.

The dress was a mixture of gold and silver with a golden breastplate that looked like wings covering her upper chest. She had a silver shoulder guard on her left arm and her dress itself was a beautiful dark royal blue with golden trimming. She had on a winged helmet that left her face open completely and in her left hand was a round shield similar to Husfreyas and in her right was a spear with golden wiring going down the staff and the blade itself was silver in color with the edges being gold and it had dark royal blue runes carved into the blade.

Lastly on her back was a special artifact similar to Husfreyas, that gave Freya a pair of large white feathered wings much like a real Valkyrie.

Freyas eyes looked up at the tower where she saw Ishtar and rage filled her eyes again.

"T-this can't be happening" said Ishtar before her head whipped back at her familia members "GET PHRYNE AND BEGIN FIGHTING FREYAS FAMILIA!" She yelled.

"Yes la-" another massive explosion filled the area and Ishtar looked down to see Bell Cranel covered in dried up blood and his clothing and armor coated in cuts standing in the room and looking up at her.

Grinding her teeth almost to the point of cracking them, she glared at Bell with a look of nothing but seething hatred.

When Bell woke up, he asked where he was and who the lady was carrying him was and after a quick explanation from Heith, he thanked her and told her he'll repay her one day, before running off to stop Ishtar and save Haruhime.

"You damn mortal" said Ishtar trying to her her godly beauty to get him under her control, but his eyes burned and glared back up at her.

"Let Haruhime go and leave your Familia" said Bell.

Ishtar froze for a moment beyond confused how he was resisting her godly beauty which can control all, even gods to a extent. But she calmed herself down and let out a chuckle before looking down at Bell as if he was stupid.

"And why should I? She's in my Familia and my property, I can do what I want" she said.

Bells eyes narrowed at that and he aimed his sword at her which shocked everyone in the room at the fact a mortal was aiming his blade at a god.

"That doesn't matter, she doesn't want to be in your Familia and I'm sure lots of others don't, so let them go or I'll force you to" said Bell.

Ishtar snapped her pipe in rage and her arcanum began to leak "HOW DARE YOU!!".

Everyone near hear immediately felt inclined to bow before her, yet Bell stood and glared more harshly at her, not backing down and standing definitely.

That was to much for Ishtar who finally snapped.

"KILL HIM!!!".

Bell heard massive foot steps and spun around and blocked the massive blow from Phryne who appeared after hearing the large explosions and she was wearing thick heavy armor resembling a toad.

Bell was blown up to the upper floors from the strike and he went flying through a wall for the amount of power Phryne put into the blow.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Freya stopped infront of the last wall before the tower where Ishtar was and her eyes went towards her left where she saw Yukime walking towards her with a bunch of her followers.

"So your the snow fox of the red light district" she said looking at her before her eyes went to Heith and Haruhime, who were walking towards them in the distance, but her eyes lingered on Haruhime who helped her Odr escape here the first time.

"Yes and I must thank you for this lady Freya, I don't know how I can ever repay you for attacking Ishtar and helping my followers" said Yukime giving a small bow in respect.

"Continue to fight her familia and leave Ishtar for me" said Freya before her eyes spotted Heith "Ah Heith how is Bell?".

This immediately caught Yukimes complete attention, especially since she saw Haruhime looked relieved but still scared and sad.

"He is fine.. it's a good thing you sent me to get him lady Freya or else..." she went silent.

"Or else?" Said Freya as her eyes narrowed.

"...she was going to rape him then his wife when she captured her" said Heith.

The Freya Familia thought they saw Freya angry before... but now.. no words could describe the pure inferno of rage in her eyes.

Arcanum almost instantly exploded out of her and cracked the floor under her very feet as her eyes were swimming in rage.

"Bring me that disgusting toads head alive!! I will MAKE HER SUFFER A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH ITSELF!!!" Screamed Freya as she glared at the tower.

After she said those words, she saw a explosion from the side and watched Bell get blasted of the tower and land on the bridge for a smaller tower next to it. She then saw Phryne walk out of the hole and her anger exploded even more seeing the creature that tried to rape her future husband.

___

Bell slowly got up after that explosion and he looked up and saw Phryne marching towards him with a glare.

"I see you couldn't resist coming back to me, no wonder why you left the dungeon, you were desperate to find me" said Phryne with a large grin.

Stopping himself from gagging and feeling beyond disgusted and disturbed by her, he hardened his resolve and glared at her.

"I'm only here to save Haruhime" he said glaring at her.

Phryne narrowed her eyes as she glared at him "why should you care.. not only that but I still have to pay you back for marking my beautiful face" she said as her hand went over where the cuts were.

Charging at high level 5 speeds, the ground exploded under her and she swung her axe at him.

Pulling up both of his weapons, he blocked the strike and the ground under him cracked from the force and then he saw Phryne swipe at him with her other arm and he jumped backwards dodging it.

Bell quickly raised his hand "Firebolt!" The spell raced at Phryne who effortlessly cut it in half as she moved in to attack him.

Dodging another strike, he swung both his blades, but they only scratched the armor, while Phryne swung again and left a massive cut on Bell that he wasn't able to dodge.

"Hahaha you can't beat me you rabbit! I'm gonna make you my little toy by the end of the night!" She yelled with glee.

Both her and Bell continued to clash but Phryne was pushing him back more and more given her higher level and had more strength.

She suddenly grabbed his arm and lifted his body before hurling him across the bridge and he smashed into one of the pillars that will be used to sacrifice Haruhime.

Phryne was beyond gleeful right now and continued to march towards Bell, but then her eyes went down to the destroyed city where she saw Freya and her executives. Cold fear washed through her body when she saw the goddess and Ottar.

Bell stood up and his body was groaning in pain and he just wanted this to stop.. but he knew he couldn't.

"I... want a hero to rescue me from this place" said Haruhime.

"A hero is someone who keeps fighting even when it seems hopeless" said his grandfather.

"Just because times are hard doesn't mean you should give up, that's when you should try your hardest" said Beatrix.

"Your my hero Bell and I will always believe in you" said Alfia with a warm smile.

Bell stood to his feet as he glared at Phryne and began to chant.

"Blessing of the root of evil, curse of birth. My original sin that devoured half of my body. Not hard. There is no purification. There is no salvation. The resonance of this heavenly sound is my sin. The trumpet of gods, the lyre of spirits. Melody of light, the seal of the sin. Loved by the miniature garden, my destiny is shattered. I hate you. The compensation is here. Destroy everything with a proof of my sin" said Bell as above Phryne a massive bell began to form and the sounds of it could be heard all across Orario.

Phrynes eyes widened seeing him do such a long chant and she charged at him to kill him before he could complete it, but before she could, a large slash of wind hit her and cut her badly making her stop.

Whipping her head, she saw Yukime staring at her and closing her fan.

"DAMN YOU YUKIME!!!" She Screamed.

"Cry, holy bell tower!!!" Yelled Bell as he finished the chant.

The ringing suddenly stopped and for the bell to burst into a cloud of energized dust. That dust swirled around in a dazzling display that bordered on hypnotizing, before descending upon her like a meteor shower.

Phryne only had a second to register this before Genos Angelus crashed into him with a power nearly divine in its strength.

The destructive power completely collapsed the part of the bridge and almost tore Ishtars tower in half as the spell descended upon Phryne.

___

"HAHAHAHA HOW TRULY SPLENDED!!" Yelled Hermes watching all of this "you truly are Alfias son Bell, it never ceases to amaze me what you can do!!".

His eyes then went towards the Hestia Familia racing towards the tower to try and save him.

"Late but it's the thought that counts, but how about you Freya?" He said looking towards said goddess while in the corner of his eye he saw Zeus eagle watching all of this along with a raven a ways away.

___

Freya felt her legs give under her as she looked at Bell with her eyes all but glowing and a line of drool going down her chin. She knew he had Gospel... but to have Genos Angelus as well... it was far to much for her in this very moment.

"Lady Freya?" Asked Ottar kneeling down next to her to help her to her feet.

"I'm fine Ottar.. but my Odr just amazed me again... I'm so happy I got to see that with my own eyes" she said looking up at the spell ended and Bell fell to his knees breathing heavily. "Go my children finish off Ishtars familia... I shall deal with Ishtar myself".

Freya took Ottars hand and stood up.

"Are you sure you don't want me to guard you? Asked Ottar.

"Yes I'll be fine my dear Ottar, it's time I talk to her goddess to goddess... or should I say, woman to bitch" she said using her artifact as the pair of wings opened up for her.

____

"Ghhh" Phryne was on the verge of death and the only thing that saved her, were her stats. But even now she was dying from falling and getting hit by a spell that could even injure Ottar decently. Phryne could only dread to think how strong that spell will be when he's stronger.

She was about to try and move, when she heard loud stomping and when she turned her eyes she saw Ottar standing above her and his eyes Weren't there usual emotionless tone. They were swimming in rage.

"You made my goddess very angry and you won't live long enough for her to punsih you" said Ottar walking closer to her before placing his massive boot on her head and slowly applying pressure making her let out a pain filled groan from her broken jaw.

Sounds of bones cracking was heard, before Ottars boot finally caved in her skull, killing Phryne where she was.

He then lifted up his boot and continued walking through the tower, taking out anyone who got in his way.

As he walked, his eyes went towards Bell who was kneeling down and panting heavily in exhaustion from that spell. Yet even after using a spell like that, he forced himself to stand up and was walking back to the tower and once again deep inside Ottars soul, the fire that's barely bin alit all this time, flickered brighter. This also made him suddenly feel a urge to try and level up, but he dismissed it for now, he had to follow his goddesses orders.

___

Ishtar was running down her tower as fast as she could to try and escape, when she heard the sound of wings flapping and she felt a lump in her throat.

Freya landed gracefully on the steps before her and her purple eyes landed on Ishtar and they were swimming in rage.

"Why hello Ishtar, it's been quite a while hasn't it?" She said in a tone that seemed sweet and innocent but it sent fear down Ishtars spine.

Freya then began walking towards her and ignored the shaking of the tower as Ottar and Allen were destroying or killing anything and everyone in their path.

"You know Ishtar.. I consider myself to be kind at times, after all I ignored your city of whores and other things you did because it was beneath me... yet you did something unforgivable" Freya said.

"G-get her" said Ishtar.

Her two Amazon bodyguards charged at Freya and to Ishtars shock and horror, Freya swiped them away with her spear.

"N-no.. that's not possible... HOW! YOU CAN'T USE ARCANUM!!!" Screamed Ishtar looking at her two unconscious bodyguards.

"I'm a goddess of war and I've never stopped training after all these years, also who do you think trained Husfreya? After all she Is my Valkyrie" said Freya still walking towards her.

___

Bell was running up the stairs to confront Ishtar and make her release Haruhime, but before he could get up higher, he saw Aisha standing in his way.

"Please step aside Aisha" said Bell looking at her.

"I can't, my goddess is forcing me to fight you" she said looking at him "also I need to see if your strong enough to protect Haruhime".

"You know he is Aisha" said Yukime who'd been watching it all and decided to help Bell out again "Bell Cranel you can move on, I shall deal with Aisha".

"Thank you" he said before running off and continued to climb the stairs.

Both Aisha and Yukime stared at each other before Aisha spoke "I know your helping him to protect those under you from Ishtar, but her fate is already sealed, so why continue?".

"He can make for a excellent ally, so if following him or marrying him grants me that, then I'm more than willing to help him to aquire his possible strength" said Yukime before she opened her fan and aimed it at Aisha.

"Greedy fox always seeking the strong, you sure your not part Amazon? Aisha joked.

"I'm quite sure I'm not" she said.

___

Ishtar stopped when she finally arrived at a part of the tower that was destroyed not allowing her to climb any higher, she then heard the sounds of boots clicking was heard and her head whipped back and she saw Freya.

"Our little game is over now Ishtar" said Freya as she continued walking towards her and the grip on her spear tightened.

Ishtar froze but a look of relief entered her eyes when she saw Tammuz sneaking up on Freya.

"I'm gonna let you in on a little secret Freya" said Ishtar as she felt the tower shake again and some stones under her started to give way. "Bell Cranel is immune to our charm, I tried it myself and it didn't affect him at all, aren't you curious?".

Freya stopped for a moment and let a smile cross her lips "if your telling the truth then I'm even more impressed with him and cannot wait to see what my Odr will do next".

"W-wait.. your Odr?" Said Ishtar.

"Indeed, he is to be my husband" said Freya.

Tammuz let out a yell as he charged at Freya hoping to shove her off the side, but with one glance, Freya had him under her control "Leave us".

"Y-yes ma'am.." he said before walking away.

"Y-you took away him.. infront of me! What the hell, is your beauty truly greater than mine!? How!!".

"Simple. Character" said Freya.

"You bitch!" Ishtar ran at her and tried to shove her off the ledge, but Freya simply lifted her shield and bashed her back, before her spear pierced her lower stomach.

Ishtars eyes went wide at seeing that and before she could react, Freya moved the spear and held her over the ledge with only the spear preventing her from falling.

Another large explosion happened below them and the tower shook again and the stair case under them gave more, but Freya ignored it.

"It's time you learn your lesson Ishtar, don't touch what's mine and keep your whorish hands away from my Odr" then with one push then pulling it back, Ishtar felt the spear get ripped out of her and she fell to her death.

Watching her fall, Freya let out a smile of happiness cross her face as she then saw a massive pillar of light ascend to the sky showing Ishtar returning to heaven.

This also released all her children, meaning they were all free now and can do what they wanted or join a different Familia.

Freya turned and was about to leave, when she was met with Bell looking at her.

Her heart exploded with happiness at seeing him and she also felt so exposed infront of him, given her outfit, but that just made a pleasurable chill go up her spine at feeling his gaze.

Quickly composing herself, she let a beautiful smile cross her face as she stared at him "why hello Bell Cranel, it's been quite a while since we last saw each other. It was during Apollos dance if I'm not mistaken".

"Um yes lady Freya" he said not knowing why she was here or why she was dressed in adventurers gear.

"Oh this" she said gesturing to her outfit and feeling warm inside as she felt his gaze wonder over her body "Let's just say, Ishtar stepped over a line to far, for me and I had to teach her a lesson".

Bell was silent and asked a simple question "but why did you kill her?".

Freya became silent as she thought over the answer and not wanting to loose this chance to make true progress in a relationship with him, she approached it differently but truthfully.

"She was a threat to Orario, she ran some illegal businesses, including buying slaves and making them work off the debt. After all that's how the woman known as Yukime came here" said Freya. "And after a couple of other things and her stepping over her bounds to many times, I believed it was best to send her back to heaven".

Bell didn't truly know how to feel about that, but did feel disgusted that Ishtar would buy and sell slaves.

"Though if I'm honest, I'm quite glad I came because I got to see something remarkable" she said catching his attention "your magic was beyond beautiful and powerful. You may one day be able to produce spells on the same level of strength as Alfia herself".

Freya saw a look of happiness and hope fill his face as his hand subconsciously touched the necklace around his neck, which Freya recognized as Alfias.

She went to take a step towards him, when the tower shook again and this time the crumbling steps under her cracked and gave.

Everything slowed down between them as Freya began to fall and Bell watched in horror, but then she saw him move, running towards her while outstretching his hand.

Despite falling, she felt safe since her Odr was coming to save her and she extended her hand and Bell managed to catch her before she fell to far for him to reach.

"Are you ok goddess Freya?" He asked holding her hand with a tight grip.

Freya felt like she fell in love with Bell all over again since now she was saved by him and the happiness she felt, couldn't even be described in words, so she just nodded.

Bell looked relieved and quickly pulled her up and pulled her away from the ledge to a more stable part of the stairs.

"I'm glad your ok goddess Freya" he said looking at her.

Her cheeks warmed just a bit and she felt so shy right now, it felt weird to her, to feel embarrassed infront of the one she declared to be her Odr, but at the same time it felt good since only he has ever made her feel like this.

"I must thank you Bell, it's not everyday I get rescued by someone" she said regaining her composure as she looked back at him and stared into his beautiful crimson eyes. "I believe I should give you a reward".

"That's not necessary goddess Freya, I'm just glad your not hurt" he said as he finally let go of her hand which hurt her, but she didn't show it.

"Even still, it'd be wrong of me to not reward my savior" she said as her heart began to race and she planned to do the same thing, Riveria did to him that one night.

But before she could lean in, she was interrupted by Hedin who landed on the steps after almost seeing his goddess fall to her death.

"LADY FREYA ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" He said frantically before his eyes landed on Bell and a look of anger entered his eyes, but at the same time as much as he hated it, he has to thank the boy for saving his goddess.

A look of rage entered her eyes at being interrupted again at trying to get closer to her Odr "I am fine Hedin." She growled.

Relief filled him, but then came fear since he realized what he just did.

"Lady Freya are you alright?" Said Hogni arriving after seeing the same thing.

In this very moment Freya wished she wasn't a goddess and was just a mortal girl since then she wouldn't have children interrupting her from rewarding her savior.

Bell felt awkward where he was and decided it'd be best to leave Freya alone with her followers "I'm glad your safe goddess Freya and I wish you the best and continued safety" he said giving her a small bow before he turned and left.

Freya looked hurt at this and Hedin and Hogni saw this and were about to demand Bell return, but then they felt her murderous glare on both of them.

"You ruined my chance with my Odr." She seethed as her eyes swam with untold rage.

Both of them started shaking under her gaze realizing how badly, they truly messed up since her anger was on par with when Apollo ruined her chance to dance with Bell.

___

Climbing to the bottom of the tower, he saw his Familia standing infront of him and he also saw Haruhime next them and just finished hugging Mikoto.

"Thank you so much sir Bell.. I don't know how I could ever forgive you for saving Haruhime" said Mikoto.

"It wasn't all me, it was also thanks to Ms Yukime and goddess Freya" said Bell.

"Still thank you for saving me sir Bell, I truly appreciate it and shall find a way to one day repay you" she said bowing slightly and feeling like she finally gets to live out her dream by being saved by a hero.

"No need, you being safe and happy is all I need to hear" said Bell making her smile more.

"Ms Haruhime where will you go now that your free?" Said Mikoto looking at her.

She was silent for a moment before looking up at Bell and a small smile crossed her cheeks more along with a tiny hint of red "I shall join your Familia if that is a option" said Haruhime.

Everyone looked at Hestia who sighed "fine, but let's leave, I don't like it here" she said as they all began to leave.

"It seems your sister is now free" said Yukime looking at Aisha.

"Indeed and she will be much safer and happier now. Though I do wonder about you? What will you do now?" Said Aisha looking at her.

Yukime let a coy smile cross her lips before she hid them behind her fan "now that Ishtar is gone, all the girls under my care shall leave and join different familias or go back home" she said before walking away. "For me.. I'll be following a rabbit".

Aisha watched her leave and let out a small chuckle at that "seems the rumors are true, that boy really is forming a harem without meaning to" she said walking off to find her comrades and see if they are ok.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Two days passed after that and word got out that Freya destroyed the red light district and she did get punished for that by being heavily fined and told her Familia will have to deal with the bulk of the fighting against Rakia now.

She of course didn't object, especially after hearing that Hesitas familia will be joining them on the battlefield since Lokis will be in the dungeon by that point.

For the Hesita Familia, they were integrating Haruhime into the Familia and preparing to help fend off the Rakian invasion.

Bells wife and girlfriend Rose and Zidril have been comforting Bell for the last two days, especially since anytime anything sexual was brought up, he'd flinch and shut himself out and wouldn't let anyone touch him for the next thirty minutes.

This of course hurt both of them seeing him like this and both wished that Phryne was still alive so they could torture her for hurting Bell this badly.

But as of right now, Bell was with Riveria wishing her luck and saying goodbye. He did say goodbye to the others he was close to in the Loki Familia, except Alicia who was far to embarrassed to look at him.

"I won't be back for two or three weeks, so be careful up here" said Riveria as her and Bell were somewhere hidden by the tower so no one could see them.

Riveria was holding his hands and felt embarrassed at this, but was pushing that part down so she didn't become a blushing elf again.

"I promise I will do my best as long as you promise to return alive" he said.

She smiled and nodded her head before placing her forehead against his "Im mel cin neld (I love you Bell)" she said in high elvish.

"A im mel cin sui eithel Riveria (and I love you as well Riveria" he said back to her.

They both looked at each other and Bell leaned in and kissed her, which she immediately melted into and her heart felt lighter than a feather from it.

After a few more seconds, they both pulled back and looked into each other's eyes before Riveria placed a hand in her robes to get something.

"I-I made you this... t-think of it as a sign of my love f-for you like the Evenstar is for me" she said embarrassed before pulling out a pipe that was slightly longer than his old one.

Bells eyes went wide as he gently picked up the wooden pipe that was almost as long as his forearm. The entire thing had beautiful carvings in it, showing trees and vines wrapped around it, but the biggest and most prominent one was the front of the stummel that had the mark of the Sacred elven tree from the Alf forest.

"I-it's beautiful" he said.

Riveria blushed and gently brushed some of her hair behind her long pointed ear "I'm glad you like it; it took me a while to make it for you" she said.

"You shouldn't have... but thank you and I will cherish it like you'll cherish the Evenstar" he said.

They looked at each other, before gently kissing one last time before Riveria sadly left to get ready with her familia.

As she left, she didn't notice Filvis talking to a god with blonde hair

"Can I help you lord Dionysus?" She said confused since she had to get leaving with her Familia.

"It's more me helping you, I wanted to give you a gift to help you and the Loki Familia down in the dungeon and since I only have one of these, I thought it'd be best to give you since you have the greatest potential I've ever seen" said Dionysus.

He then pulled out a light blue tiara "this will help you down in the dungeon.

Seeing no reason to not believe him, especially after all the help he's provided, she took it and placed it on her head, but when she did, she didn't see the deranged grin form on his face, before it went back to his normal smile.

"Thank you for accepting my gift and I wish you and your Familia well down in the dungeon" he said.

"Thank you lord Dionysus" Filvis said before leaving and didn't notice that her mind became slightly foggy.

"No thank you... and now I have another one and soon not even Loki and Freya combined will be able to stop me" he said grinning madly before leaving to write a letter to Malar to let him know that soon they will both achieve their goals.

Bell was walking to the Harthfire manor, when he passed by the Hostess and was met with someone running towards him.

"BELL!" Yelled Syr running up to him with tears in her eyes as she hugged him tightly "are you ok!? I heard what happened in the red light district".

Before he could even get a word out, a brown blur ran out and tackled him, knocking him to the ground.

"Meowhite hair are nya ok? Does Anya have to give you her fish platter to help you?" Asked Anya.

"Mmmm mmmmmmm mmm" said Bell.

"Huh?" Both girls said.

Thankfully Bells savior arrived and it was none other than Ryuu who picked up both girls off Bell and moved them, before helping Bell up.

"Than-" she then hugged him "I'm glad your ok and they didn't do anything to you.." she said in relief.

When Rose arrived with Husfreya yesterday to pick up a large order for the Hesita Familia, she found out the whole truth from Rose and Ryuu felt rage at what Phryne and Ishtar wanted to do to him. But then felt nothing but relief that thankfully nothing did happen and he was ok.

"Thank you for worrying Ryuu, you two as well" said Bell.

"Oh Bell" said Syr running back up and hugging him "I knew me and Ryuu along with Anya chose right when we agreed to share you".

"SYR!!" Screamed Ryuu beyond embarrassed.

"What? It's true, Rose even brought it up yesterday" said Anya.

Rose indeed did and she had a large mischievous grin on her face as she imagined her mates reaction.

"ANYA!!" Screamed Ryuu mortified and her embarrassment reached levels so great, she was debating on running to the dungeon and seeing how deep she could go and how long she could last to escape this.

But for Bell, his brain was trying and failing to reset at hearing this and wondered why his mate was like this.

Rose felt a sudden wave of happiness and pride in her, knowing fully what she did.

"I'm glad your ok though Bell... but it's even worse since now your off to war and leaving us all behind" said Syr in an overly dramatic way making Bells brain shut down.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After a very, very awkward goodbye Bell left them, but Ryuu was far to embarrassed to say anything and just nodded.

He was heading back home and could see the gates for his Familia home and saw Haruhime talking to Aisha and Yukime.

"So how are you enjoying th Hestia Familia, Haruhime?" Said Aisha looking at her.

"It's been great so far and I finally feel like I found a place to call home" said Haruhime happily as her tail wagged behind her slightly before looking at Aisha "what are you doing here?".

"I'm here to say goodbye, me and my girls are going off to the battlefield, lots of customers" she said with a smirk.

Haruhime lowered her head a bit.

"Oh, come on Haruhime it's not that bad" she said rolling her eyes before looking at Yukime.

"I don't have that much experience as you and I hated it, I only became to leader to protect my girls" she said before looking at Hestia "I'd also like to join your Familia".

"Huh!? Why!?" She said.

"Well I don't have a Familia and I owe Bell a great debt" she said with the same coy smile as before.

Rose giggled.

"Rose what did you do..." said Bell finally walking towards them all.

"Oh nothing much my mate, but we may need a bigger bed" she teased.

Bell was honestly debating if he could stop Rose... but very quickly realized he couldn't and just sighed in defeat then saw Zidril walking up to them from the familia home "so you convinced Hephaestus to let you stay up here?".

"Mhm, the full moon is coming soon and Hephaestus wants to see us get married soon" she said happily as she swooned a bit in excitement at finally getting to marry Bell soon.

"I look forward to it Zidril" he said with a happy smile.

"So tell me Bell may I join your Familia?" Said Yukime looking at him.

"I'm fine with it as long as Hestia is" he said.

Hearing him call her by her name and not add goddess put Hestia in such a good mood that she just nodded her head "fine I agree, but no funny business".

"Oh but where's the fun in that?" Yukime teased looking at Bell "afterall his wife is pregnant and won't be able to It's fulfill her nightly duties".

Bell immediately went red in embarrassment and looked away, trying to avoid Rose's gaze now from hearing that.

He felt her gaze intensify and swore he felt her hunger for him now and if she got her way, he wouldn't be able to leave their bedroom for the next hour.

Rose was now indeed hungry and wanted some rabbit now and to show Yukime she was the lead female of this pack.

"Well I'm glad your happy then Haruhime, I'll be seeing you soon and Bell, I better not hear your mistreating her or else!" Aisha warned.

"I'd never" said Bell quickly defending himself.

"Hmph good, now I need to get going, so you all have fun and thank you for freeing us from Ishtar" said Aisha before she left following her fellow Amazon sisters.

"Ok... welp guess it's time to status update and welcome in two new people now" said Hestia looking at the two renards.

"Wow... I'm kinda surprised fighting Phryne didn't count as a great feat" said Bell.

"Probably because it wasn't a great obstacle for you since you used your new spells that evened the playing field" said Hestia. "But you did mention that spell drained your mind greatly.. so I'd recommend training your magic more to increase it so you don't get mind down".

"I'll make sure to prioritize that.. now what about Yukime?" Said Bell looking at Hestia.

Fire magic can be casted by shorter chants and allows user to fire spells from her tails.

Bells eyes were wide at her stats, she would be beyond useful for magic support while in the deeper parts of the dungeon, especially since they have a dedicated mage with them.

"Well.. after we fight off Rakia we will have to work on teamwork to find the best way to form the team since we've never had a mage before" said Bell scratching his chin.

"Most mages stay in the back, behind the supporters and when in heavy combat, they usually have a member or two guarding them since they could change the tide of battle if they are strong enough" said Zidril.

Rose nodded her head "though some mages get closer to the front of they are good at close quarters combat of if they have a very good team to protect them".

"I see.. well at least now I have a idea on what to do" he said.

"So when do we leave for the front against Rakia?" Said Artemis finally voicing herself.

"Tomorrow and we will be joining the Freya, Ganesha and a couple other Familias, but we'll be placed more towards the west where apparently Lord Ares is sending a diversionary attack to hide the main attack" said Hestia sighing.

"But...".

"Ares is very stupid... me and all the other gods and goddesses were beyond shocked that he actually hired some adventurers... it only took him over a hundred years to learn that" said Hestia remembering what Hephaestus told her.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The sounds of thousands of armored boots marching was heard far out into the fields outside Orario as Rakian troops were charging at a small handful of adventurers, not even breaking one hundred. These numbers were considered small compared to the over sixty thousand troops charging at them.

At the front of the line of adventurers was Ottar, the King and he looked annoyed since he had to he away from his goddess dealing with these weaklings. But as of right now his mind was on something else.

He put his goddess in danger during the Ishtar incident and it was thanks to Bell that she was safe and didn't get hurt.

Because of that, Ottar felt like he owed Bell greatly for saving his goddess and hoped to find a way to repay him one day.

"AAAGHHHHHH!" he was pulled out of his thoughts when a large group of Rakian soldiers tried to attack him.

With a single lazy swipe of his sword, over 200 of them laid either dead or seriously injured, from the shock wave of the blade.

Ottar then remembered telling Freya that he failed her, but she said he didn't and if anything, because of what him and Allen were doing, she got closer to them, so she decided to reward them.

Ottar was told he could get anything he wanted, while Allen was told he'd be her personal body guard while the rest of the Familia is out on the battlefield.

"FIRE!" Rakian soldiers fired at Ottar and a rare moment of anger filled his eyes as he slashed his sword harder, getting rid of the archers.

All Ottar told Freya was that he wanted to continue serving her, but she corrected that answer and asked him, what did he want, not what he thought she wanted.

And this... left him confused and unsure what to ask.. he's dedicated all his life to serving Freya, but now she was telling him to choose something of his own free will for himself and not Freya.

"FOLLOW ME!!" Yelled a level 1 adventurer leading the Rakian troops to kill Ottar.

Even more anger filled Ottars eyes as his hand lashed out and grabbed the man by his face before slamming him into the ground so hard, it created a massive crater killing more Rakians.

"What... do I want?" He thought to himself standing back up in thought, before his mind went somewhere.

Back to when he was younger and he used to challenge Zald to spars to get himself stronger or how the one time he tried to over power Gospel from Alfia and all that did was piss her off.

One of the very few times he was genuinely scared.

"Gospel!" Said a voice in the far distance.

His eyes went to that direction where he saw Bell fighting with his Familia against the Rakian invasion. He then remembered that Bell was the last member of the Zeus and Hera Familia, plus the nephew of Alfia.

But to Bell she was his mom since she raised him like one.

In that moment Ottar realized what he wanted.

Bell could give him a rival... a drive to get stronger.

A fire deep inside of him that's only been smoldering, grew even larger and Ottar felt it.

Ottar finally realized what he wanted, he wanted Bell to get stronger and he himself wanted to as well since if Bell continues to grow like this, he'll surpass him in just a year or even less.

The smoldering fire deep inside of Ottar exploded into a raging inferno as he decided in that moment, level 7 wasn't enough. He had to reach level 8 or if possible level 9 if he pushed himself hard enough.

"Seems I owe you again Bell Cranel" he said softly before deciding to end this invasion quickly so he can tell Freya what he wished for.
