For Ais x Bell fans, the editor of the series has screwed with us enough. Enough bait and switch of other girls for Ais. Enough empty promises to keep waiting on Ais' return. They are just milking the series for shipping revenues. DO NOT BUY ANY DANMACHI MERCHANDISE UNTIL AIS RETURNS TO THE MAIN SERIES! No More Bait and Switch!

While the werewolf and the sisters got some treatment and potions, Finn and Gareth ganged up on Filvis. 2 against 1, but the battle was pretty even.

Loki "Well we need 2 level 6 to fight 1 creature evenly."

Freya "And a level 7 like Ottar can probably take on a creature like Filvis also. And there is that mino xenos"

Hermes "So it seems the falna returned Filvis' power to the way it was?"

After that statement, the gods looked at each other, reading each other's mind...

Curious Loki "Well, Dionysus returned to heaven. The creatures should have no falna power now?"

Freya "Unless there is another evil god somewhere powering them up"

Hermes "Even if there is no evil god on their side, if they use a jewel fetus, then the odds change again"

Loki "Yes, it took Bell, Riveria and dark Ais using their ultimate attack to destroy the Revis monstrosity. And I believe Bell and Ais were level boosted by your secret weapon Haruhime."

Freya "True, but these creatures know that they will lose their existence if they merged with a jewel fetus. So they probably do not desire such an outcome"

Freya continued "And Bell has leveled and his magic is half way through level 5 already"

Loki "But there better be no more dark Ais"

Hermes "Well, it seems we need the hero to yet level up again and again and again"

Freya "So if the creatures lack an evil god, then we have a chance against multiple creatures with jewel fetuses"

Freya continued "If they have an evil god, then we are still outgunned. Even if Bell becomes level 7, he can only take down one or at most 2"

Loki "There could be 9 or so more of these creatures"

Hermes "And these creatures can easily return to the surface appearing as another adventurer"

Hermes "We need to check every adventurer that returns from the dungeon. We need to know what those Astraea members looked like"

Loki "Well, I will go find the former Astraea member who survived, Gale I believe. And it seems these creatures are lower level than Filvis. So they will be busy feeding on magic stones for quite some time"

Hermes "Gale is a blonde elf who works as a waitress at the Hostess"

Loki "I will go find her"

Freya "Well, we need to get Bell more experience."

Loki "If only we can cure Ais of her darkness..."

Freya "The other issue is if push comes to shove, do we think Ais would allow Bell to fight to the death without helping him?"

Loki looking even more worried "No, there is no way she would allow that"

Freya conceded "The other force multiplier is Haruhime"

Hermes smiled "If she can level up, her level boosting can last longer. And may be more people at the same time."

At that point, it was time to switch who would fight with Filvis. This time it was the 2 sisters, but it was still pretty even as their speed and agility were more important than Gareth's strength.

After some time, Bell and Ais walked by, and they too stayed to watch the sparring. Seeing Bell, Freya and Loki decided that they should have Bell also fight with Filvis. While Bell's magic and endurance stats have continued to improve, he has not had much sparring since leveling up.

Bell had a good battle with Filvis but she clearly had a significant advantage. In many ways, Bell gave Filvis the best battle, though Ottar was not there. However, Filvis was stronger with even better endurance. Their speed was pretty similar though as well as their agility. One advantage that Bell did not use was argonaut, given how fast paced the combat was.

Ais watched intently and wanted to jump in. But she remembered her condition so she had a sad look, which was not missed by Loki or Freya.

After getting beat up pretty badly by Filvis, Bell thanked her for the sparring. Then it was time for Bell and Bete to go against Filvis after some potions for Bell. That combination had the most success. It seemed to be the best combination of speed and power, and they visibly had an advantage against Filvis.

Soon after, Ottar arrived, and everyone was going to be treated to some real entertainment...
