Chapter 6

Loki was in a foul mood riding the elevator in Babel. She was woken up by Anakitty and Raul, for Denatus. This one was really important for her too, for more reasons than one. She had a new child in Orario who is going to be getting his alias, after having reached level six outside of Orario and apparently is only 15. She really didn't know how she was going to swing this at the meeting and not get too much interest in the boy. Especially from her.

Bell when he was first talking about why he wanted to join The Loki Familia mentioned that he really didn't like Freya at all, but she apparently liked him a whole lot. This made Loki extremely nervous for the future of Bell in Orario, but she had to take it as it came.

After the elevator stopped, she walked in and sat down, she was one of the first gods to arrive. she noticed all the other gods filing in slowly, taking their seats on the rows of seats. She was supposed to lord over this Denatus, so she had to reign in the constant chatter going on so they could get this under way.

"Shut it. All a' ya" Loki yelled over the commotion.

Once everyone had quieted down, she got started "Altighy. Let's get this goin. Ya all probably know but Rakia seems like they want to fight again so be ready for the call to arms." She says looking at the crowd of gods. This was boring info that no one really cared about, but it had to be talked about for the survival of Orario.

Finally, Loki said "Anywhooo. With that out a' the way let's get on ta the namin'"

All the gods flip through the page of adventures, mostly from smaller familias. Lots of level 2's, mostly level 2's. As they got through them, they were being really awful to some of them, a child they named "Pink Lady" for the pink hair she had, and another level 3 named "Bouncy Boy". This got worse until they got to the main event.

"What?! Loki who is this Bell Cranel kid. I've never even heard of him and he's a level six?"

Loki was mulling over how much she should tell the gods; the guild doesn't have much so his paper is really thin, and the gods will come up with something stupid, so she had to tell them something about him.

"Aight, I get it everyone wants to know who this kid is to get ta level six outside o' Orario. Well not ta brag about MY newest child…" Loki emphasized when she said MY so she can dissuade the sadistic gods who would try to steal him away from her "He's 14 years old. He's been adventuring outside of the Dungeon since he was around 6." This shocked almost every god, for good reason. The only acceptations were Freya who Bell alluded to having some dealings with and Hermes who were both characters she didn't like having an interest in this particular child. "He was apparently Trained for a year then thrown into the' pits of the Telskyrua arena."

Loki was interrupted by a random god "What! How did he get out of that place alive" This male god obviously wasn't referring to the arena itself but the city of hyper sex craved Amazons he resided in for a year?

"To be honest I have no clue. He says that his god struck a deal with the leading god and made it so he couldn't be harmed." This was enough for most of the gods "Next he spent the next year training in Athens with the strongest mage outside of Orario Morgana." This again surprised them all making them think it was impossible that he would have potent enough magic to learn from Morgana and be a top tier combatant. "After that year he was in dragon valley fer 4 years killin' dragons. He says he even killed Elder Dragons and I didn't see any lies." This just floored everyone in the room except for Hermes, which didn't go unnoted by Loki or Freya to Loki's dismay. "He then was about to level up, so he went looking for a legendary beast to level up to 6." This made everyone including Hermes just gap at this impossible child. "He apparently slayed Antares about 3 months ago leveled up and made his way here."

This explanation of this child's exploits just broke the whole of the group. After about a minute of silence Takemakazuchi spoke up "So let me get this straight he fought in the arena of Teleskyura at 7. Apprenticed under Morgana at 8. Soloed in THE Dragon Valley from when he was 9 to 13. Then found and slayed a legendary beast that would usually take multiple familias to slay, at 14 years old?"

Loki answers "Yup!... I have no clue how he got so strong, his status is just broken and he's as powerful as all the other executives in ma Familia put together probably could take on Ottar if her really wanted to." Loki opened her squinted eyes slightly, giving Freya a slight smirk. She was more or less daring Freya to make a move while she had bell in her Familia.

This created an outcry from the other gods. This one adventurer at 14 years old just completely broke the power balance in Orario. If even half of what Loki just said was true, Loki has the most powerful Familia in Orario. Freya was deep in thought, she couldn't imagine that a level six was going to beat out Ottar, but she knew that not even ottar could go through the insane life her little Bell has. She needed to manipulate this to her advantage, get this boy onto her side. But for the first time in decades she couldn't think of any way out of this.

"Alrighty. Now that you all have an idea of MY BELL…" again putting emphasis on her child so she could dissuade the hungry looks the other gods had. "… What do you think would be a good name fer 'im."

This threw the group into a panic. They didn't want to give him a joke name because Loki would just send the people who were involved back to heaven. The first name thrown out was from none other than Freya

"How about 'Freya's Odr'" this gained support from the tools she had under her thumb, but Loki wasn't having it.

"You do that and Bell himself will come send you back to Tenkai Himself, not to mention I would declare war" This one threat really shook the whole of the meeting. This was weird even for Loki, she never would have been this direct when it came to dealing with Freya's antics. This just made the group even more uncomfortable about the naming. The supposed demi-god adventurer in question killing a goddess threw them for a loop.

The names were being thrown out like confetti. "Rabbit Boy" "The Alamirage" "Little Rabbit "Little Rookie." All kinds of awful names were being thrown out much to Loki's dismay. This was until finally Takemacazuchi, the eastern god of war interjected "What if we name him something dragon related?" This caught most of their attention Loki and Freya included.

"Well, we know he was a crazy dragon slayer why not name him something reminiscent of this." He asked making the rest think, they all seemed to like this idea but none of them could even think of what to choose.

Frey being the devious goddess she is says "Why don't you make the name Take" (I know no one else other than Hestia says this I just don't want to keep typing his name)

Take thought for a few moments with his hand on his chin thinking.

"How about…"

In the Dungeon

The story about Bell and what he is really didn't change much when interacting with the majority of the group. They just talked about that for a little while in the safe room about what Bell being a spirit really meant in the long run, which wasn't much past his powers. The main thing is that he will age until he's about 25 and then stop for the rest of his life. Secondly that his life will be extended almost indefinitely, as long as he doesn't get corrupted or get an injury that will kill in one shot. The overall mood of the group wasn't bad just kind of confused at what this means and why this would really matter in the long run. This just made him seem more powerful overall making Bete a little put out at the fact that this weak looking kid is kind of a godly existence but didn't really think much on it.

The only person who was internally conflicted by this fact was Aiz. She couldn't understand. Why was he so proud and open about being a spirit? How was he so comfortable with telling people he just met that he was a spirit? She didn't really know. This did explain the unnatural attraction that she felt towards him. This made her feel comforted in his presence. Looking at the reaction of the other's calmed a lot of her worries about telling the executives. She still wasn't comfortable telling them, she still felt better about it and resolved to speak to Bell about all of this.

This Q&A session lasted for maybe an hour until they were all rested up to make the trek to Udaeus. They were all really interested to see how the fight between Bell and the floor boss would pan out.

They walked for maybe 10 minutes to the boss room, where bell moved ahead slightly to gain some distance and take Udeaus's attention. They walked in and there Udaeus sat rooted to the floor, standing a few meters tall. When bell walks close enough to the beast it recognizes the solo fight that they were about to have.

The fight starts off like any normal Udaeus solo fight would. Hundreds of Spartoi are spawned and Udaeus is talking pot shots at Bell trying to weaken him enough to kill him.

Finn finally speaks "He's moving well. He isn't giving Udaeus the time to really get a hit in."

Bells bounces around for maybe 5 minutes or so when he gets tired of the loop that they had fallen into. Bell would bounce from wall to floor to wall, making surface level cuts on the monster. This was all while his lightning was just completely nullifying the spartoi on the ground which would spawn by the hundreds the immediately turn to ash whenever they would ever approach him.

Finally, Bell becomes extremely defensive, he takes few if any shots at Udaeus and slows down the lightening that he releases too almost none. The others are confused by this believing that he's just exhausted, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. As they were about the run in to his aid, they hear the first chimes.

"What's that pretty sound?!" Tiona says with an almost childlike naivety.

"I'm not really sure but I think that Bell is the cause." Finn says this as his thumb starts to throb with a vengeance. Riveria picks up on the minute change from her old friend's face, giving her an inkling into what is to come.

Bell meanwhile is jumping around for another 4 minutes, bobbing, weaving and everything in between.

Finally, he looks to the group and yells, "you guys should close your eyes in a moment."

He says this making it obvious he is confident about what is about to happen.

Finally, the grand bell toles. He gets into position standing in front of the Udaeus staring at it with a placid face. None of them could pry their eyes away from the anticipated attack. They were like kids looking at a new toy for the first time, not really able to peel their eyes away from the mysterious sight ahead of them.

Udaeus sees this as a moment of weakness, bringing its massive hands together to create hammer like fist.

He brings down at unimaginable speeds that Leifya can't even see, being only a level 3. Bell on the other hands just looks on with a calm almost placid smile.

Finally, he raises his hand in the direction of the massive monster in front of him. As the hammer fist taps the spikier portions of his hair, he says kind of nonchalantly.

"Firebolt"

With this single word the world went white for the entirety of the group behind him, watching the fight. They hear nothing for a few moments when they hear a boom at the level that none of them have ever heard before. The level of which was so loud they were left with ringing in their ears as it got quiet again.

It took them a few moments to finally register what just happened.

They still couldn't fathom what had happened with the

A small child at the age of 14. Just killed one of the top 10 most powerful monsters known as of that moment. By himself. With one attack.

Bell lands on the floor of the boss room amidst the flurry of light grey ash fluttering around him. Shortly after he landed the giant sword that Udaeus carries with him during a solo fight land to the ground alongside of the massive magic stone.

Starting with Riveria in front they all ran over to the young man who was staring up at the wall of the boss room to their confusion. As Riveria got to the young monster she said exasperatedly

"What are you doing you reckless child. Are you hurt anywhere?" Forgetting that he has healing magic of his own, not that he needed it.

Bell turned back to the group of adventures with a slight smile.

"That was easy. I didn't even get hit see." He motioned to his body spreading his arms out so that she could inspect.

Finn said almost as soon as he finished speaking "how in the world could you get that kind of power out of that little, tiny spell.

"OH! that would be my Argonaut skill it allows for me to more or less power up any kind of attack I want." Completely baffling the entirety of the group bell explained the skill that he saw as mundane having had it since he was a level 2, but to them it was just broken.

Riveria was just wallowing in self-pity because the boy in front of them was probably just as if not stronger of a mage, then she was, and he's a frontlines fighter. Leifya was about the same as Riveria, but apart from Finn they were in awe that he was able too pretty much demolish Udaeus in one spell.

After a few moments Bell spoke again "Alright, let's move down to Baylor. That was a pretty good warm up, weaker than I thought so I hope Balor will be a challenge."

They were confused by the young man that was walking to the entrance to the 38th floor. They were all still in a state of disbelief that the kid who was younger than all of them was able to completely demolish Udaeus in a few moments and brush it off while smiling about facing Baylor shortly.

Coming out of their stupor they fallowed him deeper into the dungeon
