The Goddess Of War

Chapter 143 - Damballa

It was only a few seconds after Kevin Jung finished talking to her that Miyuki was able to feel the presence of a person behind the body of her avatar.

“Who are you really? Where did you get my family's killing technique?" ask someone from behind the avatar.

The avatar hunter already did not have the Mana energy to be able to directly respond to the opponent. So, Miyuki could only spin slowly while directing the wakizashi in the avatar's hand at the opponent.

However, as a result of attacking without magic energy, the avatar's movements became extremely slow.

Seeing the attempted assault from the opponent, the blonde-haired creature instantly slashed his dagger into Miyuki's avatar body, as soon as he saw the opponent's weapon pointed at his neck.

Slashh...!

Actually, the attacking move earlier was just a trick that Miyuki had done to trick her opponent.

With that move, Miyuki managed to prevent the avatar from being split in two and only lost her left arm.

Wush... Wush...

Two fireballs were thrown at Kevin Jung as soon as he saw a blond-haired creature appear near Miyuki's avatar.

Eleanor and Glynka also engage in long-range attacks with fire and arrow magic, as they watch the opponent successfully evade Kevin's attack and attempt to attack the avatar hunter again.

The attack from Eleanor and Glynka managed to keep the creature away from the hunter avatar.

“Where do you know he's alive? I just saw it explode.”

《”I feel like my attack was about an empty shell. Hey, quickly just protect my avatar.”》

However, just a moment after the avatar was successfully kept away from the blond-haired creature, it attacked back with a long-range attack.

He threw both daggers towards the avatar that floated down to the ground, then sucked the magic shots from both palms.

《"Damn.."》Miyuki condensed her words of annoyance upon seeing the two black spheres pointed towards the avatar's body.

Wush... Wushh... Boooom!!!

Miyuki had actually resigned to those attacks. However, in just a single blink of an eye, the avatar's body had suddenly been among his comrades on the ground after the shadow figure caught his body and moved it, moving it, until the attack that had led to the avatar landed on the ground and destroyed a rock hill.

Meanwhile in midair, the blond-haired creature was startled as its body was suddenly shackled by the golden light that suddenly surrounded it.

“I-this..magic courtesy of Ann Arnix..

Unfinished his sense of surprise with the magic energy that had suddenly shackled and neutralized his magic, the blond-haired creature widened its eyes when it saw the figure of the opponent he should have already defeated, appearing right before him.

“Tsk... I had to go into the ground to find an opportunity to use Mana.” energy

Anna stared angrily at the blond creature.

Beepy...!

As soon as she finished her sentence, Anna hit the creature right in her stomach to make the blonde-haired creature bounce on land and fall on the rock below, to smash the rock into pieces with his body.

However, a moment later, the creature's body lifted and was drawn back into the air as Anna deployed her telekinesis magic to pull back the opponent's body from the rubble.

Wush...

Ohhhh!!!

Having just arrived before Anna, the creature was knocked off again with a fist smashing right in its face.

Anna pulled back the body of the blonde-haired creature after she waited for it to hit the rock hard down there.

Anna did the same thing over and over again, before she threw her already defenseless opponent to the ground, then walked over and stood nearby.

See the opponent's condition. Anna knitted both eyebrows.

“Why don't you bleed? Aren't you hurt bad? Or am I treating you too gently?”

The creature laughed.

“It turns out you're human. How can you not know if a god like us has no blood if you are the real Ann Arnix?”

“Hah?! A deity? You're god?” said Anna with her eyes wide.

“Yes. I am one of the strongest gods of the thirty-one gods in the universe!”

“A-what?! A creature like you still has thirty more?” Anna widened her eyes. Taking care of 1 alone already made it a hassle and he could not imagine if he still had to take care of the other 30.

“You're surprised? You won't even have a chance of winning against me if you don't attack me stealthily like this! You're sneaky!”

“I?" Anna looked at the creature with an expression of disbelief at what she had just said, "You attacked me while I was still talking. How can a powerful being like you act so slickly? And you dare to call me cunning after you yourself did a cunning way when attacking me earlier?”

Upset at the slander her opponent was saying, Anna strengthened her fist.

Simultaneously, the golden light that shackled the entire body of the blond-haired creature squeezed him even more, until they could hear the cracking sound coming from the body of the creature.

"Khaaaakk... Y-you... You're gonna die a miserable death!" as if makhkuk was a blonde who could not resist the great power that shackled his body.

Actually, this power is feared by the creature. Ann Arnix's shackle magic that can shackle an opponent's body and neutralize all magic energy while inside his influence.

"really? But it looks like you're the one who's gonna die horribly." Ejek Anna while continuing to clench one of her hands tighter.

"Wait... Y-you don't want to know who I am?" Said the creature, trying to save himself from the magic of a very dangerous opponent.

His words managed to make Anna stop her clenching movements.

But only for a moment.

Anna again moved her fist and *************** her fist made the cracking sound on the creature's body sound louder.

"Speak if you want, I don't care." Anna said in a cold voice.

'He's strong too. His body should have been destroyed since then.'

“A-me... I'm Damballa. One of the strongest gods in the universe.”

“Damballa?” Anna frowned as she felt she had heard or read the name.

《”Damballa is one of the strongest demons in the mythical story,"》 Miyuki said who can hear their conversation faintly.

Anna then talks back to the blonde-haired creature, “Isn't Damballa the devil's name? Why do you call yourself a god?”

The anger in Damballa's gaze grew fiercer. He cursed at Anna.

"Hey, can you stretch your magic... Argh...!"

"If you look at me like that, I'll strengthen it even more." Anna said with a cynical smile on her lips.

“Not me. Ann Arnix is the real devil!”

"What?!" Anna looked at the creature in disbelief.

'Ann Arnix the devil? So does my power belong to the devil?'

"He is an evil demon who wants to destroy your world! That power of yours, you've inherited the power of a very dangerous creature!"

"Miyu, did you hear what he said?"

《"... Yep. But I don't understand what he's saying. You think he speaks human language? He was also blabbering at me before attacking. Tskc... She thinks I understand her words?"》

"... But, didn't you understand when he introduced himself?"

《"You said that name in a questioning tone. So I thought you were wondering, ok?"》Miyuki said with a lazy voice.

Anna could imagine what Miyuki's current facial expression was like.

"... H-well."

Anna looked back at her opponent lying on the ground after Miyuki no longer spoke to her.

“Who are you really? And what's your purpose? I've met three of your friends elsewhere. Did you guys open those gates?” Anna asked as she looked at her opponent who was already drowning.

The creature did not answer Anna's question. He only showed a cynical smile to the girl, which annoyed Anna.

“Already. I don't care if you don't answer. I just have to finish you all off and let's see if the gates will disappear afterwards" Anna said, smiling cynically at her defenseless opponent. "You're going to die now.”

After ending her sentence, Anna strengthened her magic energy and squeezed the body of the creature until finally there were sounds of more resounding cracks in her body.

Moments later, after no longer listening to the cracking sound of her opponent's body, Anna stopped her clenching motion. He also no longer saw any signs of life from the body which is now shaped like a basketball, with a size that almost resembles the ball.

《"Be careful, he can release his outer body and escape. Don't take your shackling magic off her."》Miyuki gave information on the enemy's abilities.

Hearing the warning, Anna crouched down to pay attention to the state of the enemy's body that was already shaped like a ball.

"He's dead." Anna said after being able to confirm the death of her opponent.

《”Good. But..., are you okay? I saw you as if you were going to die when squeezed into the ground.”》

“Yes. I'm doing fine. Sorry I didn't have time to save one of your avatar hands.”

《”Tsk... If you can beat him that easily, why don't you do it in the first place?”》

“... I... was a little nervous earlier..”

《”Huh?!”》

“I don't have much fighting experience, ok? And this is only the second time I've met such a powerful creature. So, I was a bit tense as he was attacking me constantly.”

《”The second time?”》

After making sure her enemy was completely killed for the last time, Anna removed the shackle magic from the opponent's body. Along with the loss of shackling magic, the 'ball body' turned into black ash then evaporated into black smoke and was lost to the wind.

"Yes. They were also in the third team Dungeon." Anna answered Miyuki's question rather late after she checked the opponent's body to confirm his death again.

Anna then stood up and walked slowly while watching the black clouds that were above the Dungeon gate. That cloud, other than its black color, already looked like an ordinary cloud without giving off the lightning light and lightning sound like before.

The monsters did not come out of the black hole in the middle.

《"Have you also killed a monster there?"》ask Miyuki again.

"No. They drove me away when I went into their gate like the one in the middle of the black cloud, and they shut the gate."

《"Excluding?"》

"..."

《"Good. We'll talk about it later when you visit me at the lab."》

'Do I have to not go there first?'

"certain. You go first with the others and get out. I will destroy this Dungeon magic pillar."

《"The magic pillar has been destroyed. Dungeons were cleared before ancient monsters sprung up."》

"Huh?"

《"Kevin just asked Gina. Means it's been five hours of time in our world after the pillars were destroyed."》

'Then, why is the gate still not closed?'

Anna was a little confused. Unlike the Dungeon where the third raid team was located whose magic pillar had not been destroyed, this Dungeon should have been closed because it had been more than 5 hours of Earth time since its pillar was destroyed.

Not wanting to mess with her first, Anna ended up gathering an army of Orcs and Elves.

After that, Anna opened the gate to her artificial world and closed it again after the Orcs and Elves had returned entirely to the artificial world.

Meanwhile, Davina, who had previously been taken away by Pterodactyl, has been rescued by Cirdan, whom Anna is assigned to look for, meanwhile, Tzullu and Drucalla are assigned to search for members of the mining team who are strangely not the target of monster attacks.

All of the Hunters had now left the Dungeon leaving only Anna in it.

《"You didn't go with us?"》asked Miyuki who was already in front of the gate.

"Do you see the black clouds above the gate? I'd like to investigate first. There's something strange about this Dungeon."

《"... Alright. Be careful, ok?"》
