7. Chapter 7:The White Death's trial

chapter 7: Exposed! The white death's trial

A/N: Yo wys guys. So, I have conflicted. On one hand I oculd use evilus and make a scene for Bell and Riveria to bond as in replacing Ryu in LN 14. Or I could make a scene of where he gets attacked on the streets by Evilus and then have a trial with Ouranos. As you can probably tell by the title, I chose the latter.

Also I decided to save up the juggernaut thingy. I read someone saying that it becomes stronger the lower down it goes, so after level 6 and probably in the next two chapters, I will send him and Riveria down to the 50th floor where there will be a juggernaut. The concept may sound dumb and there may be some holes in the plot, but its not like I even finished LN 14 so just bare with me. This story was not designed to follow the canon story.

Also I tried out a new type of comedy, maybe sightly erotic ones, tell me if you like it. I will keep it if you do.

It seems that I like a fucking idiot forgot to put in the name of his tp it's

Ianuae Magicae

It was a normal morning in Orario today. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. And in some certain twilight manor a white rabbit was undergoing punishment. He was whining, "come on Riv just let me go already," Bell had been put on the X shaped cross before. (No biblical reference) It's punishment time for the rabbit. Riveria was not happy, with all the recent events she had realised how out of state she was while he was missing. She decided to punish him, while for Bell, this felt more nostalgic if anything. He remembered the time he was tied up there to prevent himself from killing himself. "Oh, but I need to visit Rochelle for maintenance today," he exclaimed as a cross appeared on Riveria's forehead. "Do you want to stay with her that badly?" she asked kind of angered at the reminder of her name and how close she was to Bell, this was not jealousy, she was just worried for him. Yeah, that's all. Bell however, had other plans, he learnt by now how to work around Riveria, "Oh someone's jealous, why don't you come with me then? It can be a date," he said with a grin as Riveria slightly reddened ever so slightly, "Bell... fine let's go. But not for maintenance, you are going to sever your contract with her," she said being adamant. Bell's face dropped, he didn't want to abandon, she was outcasted for being 'cursed' he felt a similar closeness to her, remembering what happened with the xenos. Riveria looking at his face relented and decided to accompany him there.

At Wolke 9

Bell's POV

We arrived just now outside Rochelle's smith. There were a few thugs outside.

Thug 1 "get here and apologise dammit, my friend died because of your shitty weapons." he said, obviously he was intoxicated. The other were also standing there while, Rochelle was standing on the porch area just looking dejectedly to the ground. "If only you didn't exist he wouldn't of had to die, you know what you don't have to, let me put you out your misery," the thugs said taking his weapons as he was about to attack Rochelle. However, she didn't move. Bell seeing how she wouldn't move, he activated Reinheriar and blitz right in front of his strike. He blocked it with the hilt of his black sword. Riveria gasped as he moved so fast, she could barely keep up. "do you need something from my blacksmith?" he asked in a deadass tone. Rochelle looked in surprise, in front of her was Bell. Alive. When he disappeared for weeks, she had thought her swords had finally killed him, she was so depressed that she was about to let herself get killed. "yeah, that girl's weapon is the reason my buddy died in the dungeon, she needs to die," the thug practically screamed out, a crowd now gathered. "How did he die and what was his level?" Bell calmly asked trying to find holes in his accusation. "he died to a minotaur, he was just level 1," the thug shouted earning a few gasps from the crowd. "a minotaur at level 1? I see... you know, your friend didn't die from her weapons, he died from his own idiocy. Who the hell tries to fight a minotaur at level1?" He questioned. Ironically, he had been the person to do so. The thug was now seething with anger, not only did he not get to kill the cursed blacksmith, now his dead friend was being trash talked, "you bastard!" he shouted as he tried to hit Rochelle again ignoring Bell. Suddenly, the blade snapped in half, an overwhelming amount of blood lust choked nearly everyone in the vicinity as they struggled to breath, "YOU need to stop blaming others for your own fucking incompetence, while I am at it, If anyone tries to hurt Rochelle or even lay a finger on her, I personally will hunt to the ends of the Earth," Bell warned everyone, practically declaring that Rochelle was under his direct protection. He looked towards Babel tower specifically as he felt the eyes of a certain goddess on him.

Babel tower
Freya's POV

Freya was shivering with fear and pleasure. He looked directly at her. As if staring down some prey. She felt overwhelmed. The colour of his soul a clear division between the darkest of blacks and the clearest and most transparent white. The duality of his soul often brought orgasms to Freya. His cold and harsh glare, almost giving a warning. "Ottar, we need to keep an eye on that Blacksmith, don't let anymore harm come her way," she said in a weak voice to which Ottar just nodded not that she could see.

Back to Wolke 9

Bell sighed as the goddess in the distance had finally stopped staring at him. He felt sick every time she looked at him. He could tell the ulterior motives in that desireful stare, it would often make him shiver. Now the immediate issue of the idiot that had by now... pissed himself and was crawling away. "Scram," he said as he saw the crowd disperse and the thugs run away. Riveria meanwhile walked up, "That's gonna cause some troubles for you," she said seriously. It had been some time since she had seen Bell so pissed off. I guess he still likes to act like a hero. No... I guess he was a hero huh? "they can bring trouble I wouldn't mind taking a few... but for me to deal with them, can you do some maintenance for my equipment, Rochelle?" He said with a kind smile as he turned to Rochelle. He gasped in shock, she was crying.

To Rochelle, she had been the target for abuse for a long time, she felt like she was in a hopeless world. But now he appeared. He seemed kind but deadly, he was strong yet not boastful. He was a complete hypocrite, he was her hero. "u-uh Rochelle why are you crying? Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Bell panicked around as he did not expect her of all people to cry. Riveria just sighed in an indescribable feeling. She was happy to see him act like a hero yet again but she was utterly jealous of his panic over her. There was another delicate woman right next to him as well. Oh well guess she can't ask him to act like that to a 99 year old hag. She thought.

They both entered the smithy, it was more or less the same as always, the keen difference being the excessive amount of ice cream buckets. "Uhhh... when I thought you died in the dungeon, I um... needed to cool off," Rochelle said embarrassed but it didn't match her facial expression. Bell just chuckled. "you should know, it ain't that easy to kill me, after all I survived Riveria BDSM session today," he finished as Rochelle stood there with a large O as Riveria started to fume. "WHAT BDSM ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU PERVERT," she said as she slapped Bell. He swung his had dramatically, not that it hurt him. His overall strength stats just about took over Riveria. "I was just joking goddamn Riv," he said as he recovered. Riveria and Bell messed around for a bit while, Rochelle got the workshop ready. Once she started Bell stopped messing around, out of habit. You see, Bell knew how Welf worked, he was always completely immersed into work, so to respect the work Bell would never mess around while he was busy. Rochelle seemed like an afterimage of his now dead friend. Bell just looked at her in silence and nostalgia.

Riveria's POV

Ugh... why was Bell messing around so much. It's like he is just playing around with everything. Or so I thought. The second Rochelle first landed the hammer, he clammed up. He sat there on a chair as if he was admiring her. Bell's eyes shook fiercely as a single tear flowed from his eyes. He never once forgot his friend, his brother the one who helped him form the beginning. The red head, with the charismatic character, a weird naming sense and the person who joined his friend even at the cost of leaving the love of his life. Granted he never left her, but he chose to change familia to help him. Riveria felt her heart shake a bit. The same playful Bell who had quickly gotten comfortable with her, the one who swore to get his revenge now had nostalgic tears flowing down his cheeks, his sniffles filled with nothing but regret.

Bell nonetheless had a smile on his face. A gentle one. It reminded him of painful memories, but there was so much more than just pain. It reminded him, of how much support he had. The family of his, a bunch that had gotten together when he needed them, but he couldn't be there for them. He felt pain like never before. He would rather fight an amphisbaena alone than bare through this. But he kept going. Riveria placing a knowing hand on his now pale and shaking hand. How much pain he was going through, she could never know. The scars of the past, embedded through every inch of his body. He had to accept it. Bell, just kept wiping tear after tear.
Rochelle just finished her work and turned around to see a Bell with puffy eyes and a solemn Riveria holding his hand. "What did I miss, what were you two making out?" to which Bell just laughed a bit and Riveria had a cross on her head. "You know, I still haven't accepted you going into the dungeon with him, that's why I will go this time as well." Riveria pointed at Rochelle, as if accusing her of whatever non-existent crime she committed. "But I thought we were going on a date after this," Bell just tacked on with a grin and got the result he wanted. A flustered Riveria. "I NEVER agreed to going on a date with you," but Bell just stared as if saying, you never said no. How was she going to deal with this fool.

They were walking into the dungeon. The second they set their foot into the dungeon. Bell shut up. His well-known smile now gone. Replaced by an emotionless gaze, as if he wasn't staring at you but rather through you. He let out his bloodlust. The nearby monsters noticing this ran away. From floor 1 to 9 nothing would approach them. Riveria still baffled at the change in Bell. He felt distant. He went back to his typical behaviour suicidal and careless. The nearby adventurers splitting and making a way for him, as if moses had appeared. However, the second their approached the end of floor 10 a group of monsters dived straight in, Bell drawing his black sword. "Rochelle and Riv, don't interfere, I need to kill something," he said in his blank eyes. Yep, no way is anyone going against him now. Bell proceeded to bounce around, unlike his elegant dance, he focused on speed. Like a spring he bounced off of walls and the ceiling of the dungeon, killing monsters with one efficient stroke.

They spent the rest of the day, just about killing everything in sight. Down to the 18th floor as Riveria did absolutely nothing. Bell was just going on a killing spree. She however, was getting a really good show, as a mage she normally doesn't get to see a frontliner practically, she usually has to focus on the entire battle and not just one fighter. Seeing Bell at times dancing with skill and elegance while the other times he was just berserking around like a madman, with a wicked grin on his face. It felt as if she had been watching two different people but it was all in one. Rochelle was just yawning every so often, a monster would come her way but she was no weak chump. She would instantly knock them over often finished by Bell or other times she just squashed their face with her hammer.

Just outside Orario

The Hermes familia who had been out for a couple months were coming back from a mission. A certain amazoness with her sword was racing towards the city with immense rage. She was ready to kill a white haired rabbit. Not even the guards tried to stop her, they couldn't.

Meanwhile, just outside the dungeon

? "He should be coming out soon," A small group had been waiting outside the dungeon. "Our comrades died in the dungeon because of the terrain, but we have no choice but to attacks, he poses a great threat to our purpose," the hooded figures nodded.

? "Bell Cranel, you demon, looks like we must break you even further for you to understand, be prepared."

At the same time Bell exits the dungeon with Riveria and Rochelle

Bell turns around to face Riveria and Rochelle "let's go to give in these stones," he said. "Oh don't you worry, you won't go anywhere," a voice called out as Bell turned back around to see, a hooded figure with a sword in hand. "Can I help?" Bell said realising the man was not alone. "Yeah you can die," he said as he charged. The crowd of adventurers had now turned to see a man charging towards Bell. Bell just sighed as he vanished from sight and tried to knock him out, but the man suddenly turned around and held a fire gem. "In the name of Evilus, you shall accompany me to the depths of hell, you demon," he said as Bell's eyes widened and a massive explosion occurred. Everyone was evidently shocked. "BELL," Riveria shouted with panic. "I'm okay, it's fine, it looks some rats have found their way back to me," he said.

? "LOOK AT THE ARROGANCE OF THIS MURDERER," A man shouted as many others along him rose, surrounding Bell. "Murderer? lil ol' me?" Bell asked sarcastically. The man just laughed, "WE TAUGHT A LESSON LAST TIME, WE TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM EVILUS," as everyone in the crowd gasped," do you take pride in calling yourself a killer? First you killed your own familia and now you kill my allies," The man shouted as more people began to get shocked. Bell a bit pale now, his hands curled up as blood leaked due to his own anger, "How dare you? You cowards tranquilised me and killed my familia right in front of my eyes and now you call me the killer?" The man kept laughing on and on, "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FUN IT WAS WATCHING A HELPLESS RABBIT JUST SIT THERE AS WE SKEWER YOUR FAMILY, it brought me so much joy you have no idea," like a maniac he roared until he went silent. Raising his hood, a black haired man revealed a very angered face, "27... that's the number of my allies you have killed, you are no different from us. WHITE DEATH," he expressed the last bit. Bell had been exposed. For the billionth time, the crowd gasped once again, "you... are the white death," Rochelle said in fear. He was of course known by all in Orario, the man after a certain group now revealed to be Evilus. The one who skewered and butchered his first victim. Bell looked back to see Rochelle's fear, he felt very sad that she may not think of him like she used to anymore. Riveria was mainly shocked, she didn't all of the atrocities he committed, she was shocked although a bit understanding. "If you two have even an ounce of trust left for me, just listen to me this once, get the crowd away from here." He said turning his head back around. He went into his pack, to retrieve an oni mask. The same one he had bought to first dispose of his enemies. "YES, REVEAL YOUR TRUE NATURE DEMON. EVERYONE ATTACK," the man said as all the people charged besides one person next to the seeming commander. It was clear most of them were lower level than him, after all, even Evilus didn't have an endless number of high level adventurers.

Bell in response released his full bloodthirst skill. He didn't care anymore whether he was in the surface or not. His bloodlust literally spreading and choking his enemies for blood. There were two main reasons for why he wore this mask when he fought Evilus. One was to of course hide his identity. But that never really mattered, it was fairly obvious that if he was specifically targeted then the mask didn't matter, but then why wear the mask? To hide his wicked grin. Whether it was his skill's fault, or just his nature now, Bell didn't like others to see his dark side. Yet here he was revealing it. His mind had once again taken control.

Voice "it's time to uphold my part of the promise," it came back as it was time for it's purpose to be fulfilled. "It is also my responsibility to protect my allies." The other half of him said as both picked up arms. His soul blazing hotter, still balance the black and white flames grew. "It's time to take out some trash," Bell said as he entered the battle.

Twilight Manor

Finn POV

I was just sitting in my office doing some paperwork. Goddamn where did Riveria vanish off to. The others are just taking my office for granted. "Seriously guys, why are playing poker in my office?" I asked tired with what I have to do already. Tiona and Tione just turned around with a pout, "Well captain, your room is the most comfortable," Tione said with a straight face. Loki had been just dealing out the cards. I sat down, good grief they have no sense of responsibility. All of a sudden, a familiar sense of blood lust washed over us. The entire room was now quiet, as they all sensed it. "Finn..." Loki said slightly opening her left eye, I just nodded, "its Bell's bloodlust, I've felt it enough times to know it by now. It's coming from Babel." Everyone's eyes just widened, "do you think he got in trouble with Freya?" Tiona asked oblivious. "I don't think so, he wouldn't need to do this if he was in trouble, either way let's go," I said as I grabbed my spear.

In Babel Tower

Freya POV

"OHHH that bloodlust, his soul blazes hotter by the second, everyone in the city must've felt that one," she said as she convulsed within her chair. Freya had been watching over the changes in Bell. She did not like the fact that he had yet another voluptuous girl right by his side, but seeing how she was his blacksmith she let it slip. Then she could see some Loki executives approaching Babel fast. "tch... Ottar, take the others and form a blockade, don't let the Loki familia come in." She said, there was no way in hell, she would allow them to interrupt her bunny's redemption.

Ottar went with the other high level warriors and blocked the path of the Loki.

Finn "Seeing that you are here, Can I assume our rabbit didn't run into trouble with your goddess?" he asked, Ottar just nodded. Finn tried to pass but was blocked again, "I can't let you pass." the other Loki executives got slightly angered by this, "I hope you know what you are doing? He is part of our familia, we can't let him just die, I know your Goddess wouldn't want him to die either," Finn tried to reason. "I still can't let you pass, Our Goddess wishes to see him fight. Besides, I trained the boy at his best, I know his thirst for blood better than most, if you stop him now, not only will he be labelled a murderer but also he won't calm down and possibly will even leave you guys." Ottar simply stated as the other executives just stared in response. Finn just sighed in defeat, "can we at least watch him so that he doesn't die?" Ottar just nodded as they then followed them.

Meanwhile at the battle

Bell had been fighting fiercely. Well more brutally than he should be. He was practically bathing in their blood. Covered head to toe, He was riddled with cuts. After all, it was him against a massive group of trash. He weaved through the battle, he sliced the throats of his attackers. The number however was still overwhelming. "BELL," Riveria screamed as she tried to come but was promptly stopped by Bell, "DON'T COME HERE RIVERIA, DON'T DIRTY YOUR HANDS," he shouted back not wanting to see her hand's bloodied. He leaped back and tried to drink a potion. Nothing. The wounds wouldn't heal.

Lefiya with a frown by the side, "Why won't his wounds heal?" Confused at why he wasn't healing at all. "wha- you guys are here," Riveria said with a few tears in her eyes. She then saw Ottar next to them. "Finn we need to go and help him, they are using cursed weapons, he won't hold out." Bell took out mind potions. He started chanting as he jumped as high as possible. He knew he was endangering the city by doing this, but he was forced to do this since their numbers were too big. "Swallow them whole, Dark refraction," he said as formed a handgun sign and a black arrow blitz into the middle of the group. Then a massive semi sphere exploded up, not touching a single citizen but swallowing up the Evilus whole. He drank the potions. The spell takes out a lot from him, if he didn't drink any, sooner or later he would pass out. He casted firebolt 5 times in slightly different angles to catch the rest off guard. It worked, there were burnt bodies and just a massive crater where he used dark refraction.

"What the hell is up with the power of that thing. Isn't it stronger than before?" Tiona asked baffled. "Did he win?" that was a common question but Finn knew from his thumb, that it was not over yet. Bell had wiped out a total of 50+ Evilus members, but was left almost critically injured. Eventually, he would bleed out if he didn't get treatment immediately. Finally, the black haired man roared alive again, "YOU. YOU KILLED MY ALLIES ALL OVER AGAIN. WHITE DEATH, YOU ARE WOUNDED, LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN LIVE," he said as he and the fat figure next to him jumped down, the other figure also spoke up in her disgusting tone. "Bell Cranel, finally we get to see each other again." But Bell couldn't care less who he was facing. He was running on just his skill and adrenaline right now. The man first charged in with his one hand axe. Bell replied by hitting the axe. It felt like a stalement until, Bell felt like he had no choice but to use this attack. He thought up of, "Ianuae Magicae," he said as teleported right behind the man. He had realised but it was too late, Bell had already cut off his head. The other cloaked figure just laughed, "kekeke, you took care of him, I didn't like him to begin with," she said. Bell felt disgusted, he looked at her with his emotionless eyes, "you remind me of a dumb frog bitch from long ago," he said and suddenly the figure stopped laughing. She took out two golden axes and jumped to him. Bell reacting his speed clashed back. "BELL, YOU NEED TO COME BACK OR YOU'LL DIE," Riveria said with tears forming in her eyes. Bell sighed and took of his mask. He gave a gentle smile to Riveria as if to say don't worry I won't die. Bell started fighting back stronger as he charged Argodrive. 1 full minute into the battle, he let it rip, "FIREBOLT!" the figure screamed, "AAAAHHH," as she waved around. If she wasn't an amazoness before, she certainly was now. The burning cloak revealed. "PHRYNE JAMIL!" Bell shouted out to a surprise for everyone. "kekekeke, I missed you too. You dare to burn my beautiful skin," she said pissed off. Of course there always has to be a dumbass in the crowd and sadly this time it was a child, "more like fugly skin," a small boy said. Phryne pissed off turned to the boy. Who now realised his mistake. She grinned as she threw an axe towards the boy. Everyone gasped but before anyone could move, Bell cast Reinheriar and blocked the boy, he got hit with the axe stuck in his back. "BELLLL," his familia shouted. "OTTAR, THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO HOW LONG WE CAN WATCH," Finn aid enraged grabbing his spear as the hiryute sisters and Ais grab their weapons. "I have gotten no further clarifications to let you go," Ottar turned around to face them with anger in his eyes. He was pissed. Not at them, at Phryne. He had felt a bond somewhat to his disciple, he shared his goal metaphorically. He although cared for him a bit and did not like this one bit, but his Goddess had not told him to let them go.

"hey boy... are you alright?" Bell unstressed his hug on the boy who looked absolutely petrified at Bell's eyes as blood came out of his mouth. The boy almost about to start crying, "hey, hey don't cry for me. I am glad more than anything else that youre safe, this is nothing but a scratch," he smiled a the boy as his mother came to get him, "take him to safety," Bell told the mother who just kept on thanking him. The crowd felt bad, the boy was saved by Bell. He with his beaten up body protected the child with his body. "Aww... look at you what a hero." Phryne came and stomped on Bell's chest. "How bout you give up and let me taste your body, last time ya ran away." Phryne licked her lips.

"What does she mean by last time," Riveria asked extremely worried. "It seems that Phryne Jamil was about rape him, but our attack stopped her," Ottar clarified. Riveria now seething with rage. "h-hey Riveria, calm down if you use any of your spells, people will die." Finn tried to stop her. Meanwhile, Bell just smiled, "I would rather sleep with a guy than go to bed with an oily frog like you," he proceeded to spit on Phryne's face. She was pissed. She raised her foot about stomp back down but failed notice Bell charging Argodrive, nor the fact that he was silently chanting. "cover your eyes if you can't handle bloodshed," Phryne warned as if she was some comedian, Bell just giggled and looked at her with by tilting his head up a bit. A cross appeared on Phryne's head as she started coming down on Bell when he shouted, "DARK REFRACTION," a minimised yet more potent black line pierced the toad's head as she stopped mid way through. The line continuing to continue up from the blast, it exploded high up. Like a massive firework of blood and gore, yet no sparks fell down. Silence spanned the area. Onlookers shocked beyond belief. The extremely overpowered Bell's attack had blown up Phryne's body into nothingness. Everyone adventurer who was there looked in widened eyes. Bell couldn't even get up. "Uhh... cough, not to ruin the shit-fest but will someone cough, please take me to Amid?" Bell asked as a few people realised that he was bleeding profusely.

He was barely conscious even, the adrenaline and bloodlust skill were also wearing off. Just as thought that, he blacked out.

Riveria POV

"BELL," she said as she ran over to him. She started using a healing spell to no avail of course. He had lost an immense amount of blood. He should've been done in by now, but he was still alive. The others just looked at shock at the cool and mature Riveria's brazen approach. "I swear to God Ottar, if you get in our way of taking him to Ottar, I will start a war," Finn said practically bursting with anger. Not just him. Just about all Loki familia members were seething with anger, they had been told to just sit back and watch one of their executives fight a very unfair fight. Ottar obviously wanting to take the boy himself but did not disobey his Goddess, "do what you want," he said as he turned around. Blood dripping from his gripped hand as his nail dug into his palm when he watched Bell fight.

Although Freya would not intervene, it seems a certain someone would. As a sudden crash came kicking up a cloud of dust. Revealing the figure of none other than, Aisha Belka. Still in her purple dancer outfit, however her face was one of rage. "BELL CRANEL, COME HERE RIGHT NOW," she shouted. Everyone looked at her. She darted her eyes around and found him on the ground with Riveria next to him, she jumped up and was ready to strike. Finn and Riveria both saw this and stopped her strike, "What do you think you are doing, Aisha Belka?" Riveria said, returning back to her calm demeanor. "GET OUT OF MY WAY, I'M HERE FOR HIM NOT YOU." Aisha shouted out with rage. "don't you think you are being a bit selfish here? He's clearly injured and needs immediate aid," Finn calmly explained but he was a bit impatient. Aisha wasn't having shit though.

"I don't care, it's his fault that Haruhime died, he let her die. He promised to protect her. It hasn't even been 3 months!" Aisha was angered. "This prick doesn't deserve to just walk away, he didn't even bat an eye. He just moved onto the next familia." She insensitively shouted out. Finn was about to speak out but riveria had snapped. "WHAT do you know about him?" Riveria said while grabbing Aisha's shoulders, "do you know of the amount of trauma he had to go through? The number of nights when he had those nightmares? The amount of times we had to stop him from killing himself." Everyone now shocked at how outspoken she was being. Some looked in shocked as they discovered Bell's pain, Aisha's eyes widened. "he suffered the most out of any relative of theirs. I know what he went through. Constantly seeing their dead selves talking to him, blaming him. He saw things and felt pain that no one should have to go through. I watched a 15 year old man drink his nights away goddamn it. Even now he was being hunted down by Evilus. He fights by himself, never lets us intervene. He goes away at nights and comes back bruised. he doesn't even value his own life anymore!" Riveria ranted on. "so don't pretend as if you are the only one suffering when you don't know shit," she cursed out to Aisha and many others, who by now were frozen in place.

She let go as Aisha crumpled to the ground and they proceeded to take Bell to Amid. While, Bell was being taken to Amid, a certain messenger God had been watching the scene while invisible. "Quite the scene huh Asfi? It looks like our hero went through quite a lot while we were away," Hermes sighed. "It's almost hard to believe, that Bell of all people would kill this many people," Asfi retorted back.

Time skip of 4 hours

Bell POV

Bell had started to awaken. His body was feeling weak but of course it did, he lost a lot of blood anyways. When he looked around, he saw a green haired woman by his side on a chair while, Loki was in the other. "So... how long I been out this time?" he asked snapping them back to reality. "Are you alright? Does it hurt any where Bell?" Loki frantically asked. It hurt her so bad to see that one specific child of hers kept coming back gravely injured everytime she let him out of sight. This was it. She was going to give an earful to him this time. As Loki was scolding Bell who was dumbfounded as he just woke up sat up and started to get scolded by her. Soon the door creaked open. "Bell Cranel, as much as it pains me to say so, you are under arrest for being suspected of being the serial killer nicknamed: White Death. We shall take you toyour trial now." Shakti from the Ganesha had come in. "Haah? Can you not try to take Bell who was the one attacked bare in mind. He fought back and that's it," Riveria interjected. Shakti was about to speak up but was cut off by Bell, "Don't worry Riv, Loki, its best for me to just go. Besides, Ouranos won't do too much, after all, I am still of use to him," Bell smirked as everyone's eyes went wide. "Either way, before I go, Can I get a status update?" Bell asked as Shakti considered it and just nodded.

Loki got to work and boy did she have a surprise. "Darn it kid, What the hell have you been doing? You are giving the guild so much work," she concluded which led to everyone's assumption of him levelling up.

( CBA to show his stats, just think of all of them going back to 0. Of course, they reached above S as he was fighting more than 50 Evilus members. But he levelled up thanks to Phryne. Yeah, I know OP but it's my story, deal with it lol.)

Everyone was once again in shock as the rabbit's foot levelled up to 6 again. "so umm.. you gonna cuff me or will you trust me to walk with you." Bell broke the silence and Shakti retorted back that she will trust him. They left Dian Cecht and accompanied Bell to his trial. People in the streets obviously stopped and stared. Some with pity. Other with fear in their eyes. It was expected, here was a man who murdered 50 people in cold blood, but he was also one who saved an innocent child. The child came up to him and hugged his leg much to the displeasure of the guards that tried to stop him. "Thank you for saving me Mr Rabbit," the boy said innocently but Shakti had to stifle a laugh. "Don't thank me, I am glad I was able to help, don't call me a rabbit though." Bell said while patting the boy's head. The boy was starting tear up, "Are they going to take you away? Stay big brother, you did nothing wrong," the boy basically cried out. Bell hugged him while crouching down, "don't worry, I am going to be just fine. I just need to go and explain things, how about when things are over, I'll buy you some ice cream." To which the boy's face lit up as he walked back to his mother. Bell waved at them and continued walking to his 'trial.'

He entered a room, like a judge it seems Ouranos would hold the trial, "Welcome Bell Cranel, I hope you are feeling better than before." Ouranos called out. "Yeah, well I have seen better days, but thanks for saying it," Bell talked back. He kind of can't tolerate Ouranos as much as before. I wonder why? "Well either way, let's get this trial underway, Mr White Death, quite fitting if I do say so myself. Bare in mind this trial is being broadcasted all over Orario as it wasn't some random crime," Ouranos warned. It was the truth. At Dian Cecht Amid was watching and practically the entire city as well. This was a big matter. "Let's start then. Is it true, that you killed the man that was on a skewer some time ago," Ouranos asked sternly. "Yes It was me and me alone," Bell responded. "Can you describe exactly what transpired?" Ouranos asked, although he kind of knew from the first time round. "On a very peaceful day, I was walking around town, while I noticed a few rats cough, people had been following me. I felt their malic so I intentionally went into the dungeon. There that man attacked me, I fought back." Bell clarified.

"It seems as though you had brutally tortured the man rather than simply fighting back," Ouranos pointed out. "True, I did. At that time, Ouranos, if you remembered, my entire familia had recently been wiped out. I searching for answers, had tortured the man somewhat until potions couldn't heal him anymore and until he gave me who he worked for." Bell said, as collective gasps could be heard from around the city. "And did you find out who it was?" Ouranos asked well knowing the answer. "Pshh, there is no way no one heard them screaming, 'in the name of Evilus' when we were in the plaza why do you even bother to ask that?" Bell mocked them. "Listen Ouranos, I told you the first time, I'll say it again. I do not kill the innocent. All the 71 people I killed attacked me first. They all belonged to Evilus. They had planned to kill my familia. I acted in self defense and revenge," Bell pointed out in one go. People's jaws just dropped, pubs were near silent and the Twilight Manor... was quiet. "why did you not report it then?" Ouranos asked. "Really? Do you expect me to believe that you will actively hunt down Evilus? Even I don't know where their base is, they came to me everytime. What would the guild even possibly do, to counteract an enemy whose base you have no clue about," Bell asked back, challenging Ouranos. They were silent for a while before Ouranos asked the question that everyone wanted to know. "Do you have any ill will for Orario and it's adventurers?" They stared at each other for a second. You could hear a pin drop from outside the city. "No, I don't wish to harm Orario or its citizens. I fight to protect my familia and to get the revenge for my old family. Anyone in my position would do the same. I killed them this time and I'll do it again, as you of all people already know, I am the biggest hypocrite of Orario. I will fight to defend and eliminate all threats to me," Bell said in one go. Ouranos waited a bit before smiling.

"Bell Cranel, a.k.a White Death. I hereby announce you as innocent. As you pose no threat to Orario, you actions may be considered that of justice and from here on out, your work against Evilus shall be pardoned." Ouranos said as Orario roared up. Some in shock and the other's glad to see that their rabbit gets to live another day. "Thanks Ouranos. However, while I am at it, can you pardon The Gale's crimes as well? You know remove her from the blacklist," Bell smirked, as everyone went back to being silent. This was a matter of equal importance. "Are you perhaps aware of who the Gale wind is and why they did their work?" Ouranos asked surprised but again, not showing it at all. "Yes I am aware of who it is, while I do not wish to state their name. I hope you remove their crimes," Bell responded back to Ouranos. "And what makes you believe that I'll just listen to what you have to say?" Ouranos said as he let out a bit of his godly aura. "Simple. She killed the people known to be part of Evilus. She did it for revenge for her familia's death. Just like me." He said hopeful. Ouranos sighed "you are going to need a bit more than that Bell Cranel," but Bell just smiled. It wasn't malicious but calculating yes.

"then how bout you clear her crimes, because you owe me a favour," Bell calmly replied, as the entire city, Gods and humans alike to just stood there, mouth wide open. Bell Cranel not only stood up against Ouranos but also called in for him to repay a favour. To the shock of many, Ouranos started laughing, "you sneaky brat. Just because this is being broadcasted. Fine, I hereby announce The Gale Wind void of all their crimes," He said as Bell smiled. At a certain pub, not too far away, a certain elf was holding her hands against her mouth as she started crying. It was Ryu. She had never specified why she had done what she had done, so she never doubted Bell throughout this entire process, but he cleared her of all her crimes but also guessed why she acted.

Needless to say, Orario's bunny was the talk for the next few weeks to come. The rabbit adventurer who walked the path of revenge and clarity, he would be both a guardian angel and an assassinator, everyone would know how Bell had absolved The Gale Wind's crimes by calling in a favour.

Also Loki drank the night away, but who cares.

A/N: I had time throughout the Easter holidays. Istg, I am studying from 11am- 7pm if anyone wants to take away my writing time, they would have to lose an arm or two. I may or may not have stretched this out a bit. Some may not like Bell's spells, but its not like I gave him the ability to turn into a super saiyan so stop shitting yourselves.

Yes Bell may seem overpowered. He turned level 6 already but let me clarify things. At this point in time, it has been almost 1 year since Bell first came to Orario. He is level 6 now but fights like high level 6 due to his stats surpassing the S cap. The reason he won against so many Evilus members, is cuz, of his bloodlust skill. Remember, anyone he identifies as his enemy, he gets a boost in all basic stats. So he isn't that extreme either. I brought back Aisha and Phryne Jamil for those who asked.

However, the problem now is that I don't know how Aisha will act around him. I loved it when Riveria just went on a rant about how she was the closest one to Bell. Either way, see you.. sunday? Idk. If you know how Aisha should act then do tell me.

Bless.
