Chapter 40 - Who is Left?

The group decided to ask Hestia about the locations of the other gods. Hestia actually did not have the power to figure that out. But she did know that the enemy has not been to Melen or Rakia yet. Finn also asked Hestia if there were any missing gods or older gods, but Hestia was not aware of any. Bell mentioned the concern for Gros and Ray near the dungeon, and Hestia said she will watch out for that. Apparently the enemy was still focusing on wrapping up the area around Telskyura so there is a little time. Before Hestia got off the call, she said that she has seen an attack. Apparently the magical being shoots some type of bubble at a god. After being enveloped, the god disappears and is trapped in the timeless dimension. She added "Poor flatsy did not deserve that..."

After the call, Finn said "You need to avoid that bubble. If it can trap a god, it can probably trap you"

Welf "Hey, I don't mind a long nap. By the way, your armor is now ready"

Bell "Welf, that is not funny. Thanks for the armor though. Tsubaki, you too, thanks"

Welf "Wiene, we are working on recharging your lightning edges. It will need about 2 hours"

Wiene "Yes they worked really well."

Allen "Yes Welf, your armor saved all of us"

Ottar "Yes, it gave me a huge advantage against someone that was roughly my equal"

Bell "Everyone wants your armor now. You are going to be rich. Without your armor, I would have died with my suicide strike"

Ais "Yes Welf, thank you for your armor. I am alive because of it"

Welf "Glad to hear. I just want some sleep lol"

Tsubaki "Welf, you have surpassed Hephaestus. May be she will give you a reward after she is rescued"

Welf "OMG, I forgot she was captured. We need to save her"

Bell "Don't worry, we want you to get your reward : ) "

Steamed, Welf chased Bell around the yard.

Lefiya "While the kids are playing, let's get back to the issue of the remaining gods. The enemy has not been to Melen and Rakia"

Finn "Yes, that means Ares and Njord may not have been captured"

Ais "If Ares finds out, he is going to invade Orario again. Really bad timing"

Riveria "They are still busy chasing gods around Telskyura, so this is our chance"

Bete "Yes, they probably do not realize the Hestia familia is still functional. If they did realize that, they would have made sure we perished in the dungeon"

Gareth "Good point, they would have come back in to make sure we were monster food"

Ottar "That seems to indicate that there are no fighter left in the deep levels. Or they would have come after us."

Tione "Another good point. Then you guys will ONLY have to beat the red hair woman and the magic being"

Asfi "Yes, that means the red hair woman is almost definitely Revis and the magical being is probably Enyo"

Finn "Even if this works, there is no way to save the gods..."

Riveria "Right, Cronos was trapped also, and he is the only god with control over the timeless dimension."

Tiona "Let's worry about that if we win over Revis and Enyo. I am sure argonaut-kun can do it."

Bete "You have a lot of confidence in Bell"

Tiona pulled wolf ears and tied up Bete.

Ottar "Wow, Bete is just a pussy cat. You should pull the whiskers too"

Finn "Well I guess you folks may as well have fun. We need to stay safe here. Unfortunately we are really useless against Revis now.

Bete "We are the useless ones now..."

Ais "You guys figured out what to do so that is important."

Bell "Yes, we are a team and we always need to pick each other up."

Asterius "I am not able to travel fast enough and I am too heavy even for Wiene. I think Gros is a better match for your mission. I am going to ask him to join you, while I go protect the dungeon entrance. Let me know if I am needed."

Riveria "That makes sense. They need speed right now, though your fighting ability will be missed"

Tione "So the attack force is Bell and Ais, Wiene, Gros, Lyd and Mikoto."

Tiona "Right, they can fly everywhere because Wiene can carry Lyd and Mikoto."

Finn "So let's warn Njord in Melen. After that, we need to decide whether to go to Ares in Rakia. It would be a big problem if he decides to invade Orario right now..."

Riveria "I have a good relationship with Njord, so I may be able to help"

Finn "Right, Riveria should probably go along, but we need to keep her safe"

Ais "Ok, we will bring her back after meeting with Njord"

After lunch, Wiene transformed back to a wyvern and the armor and lightning sharp edges were installed. The new team would be traveling to Melen to find Nord...
