Bell moved swiftly and quietly across the rooftops of the pleasure districts. He had to be. Else, he risked the Berbera hunting him down.
Sure, he was a level five, but he was one man, and the Berbera were many. His Infinity was also down, so he didn't fry his brain from using too much of the cursed technique.
If only he could use the reverse cursed technique, then he could keep it on all the time. Then nobody could touch him.
He dropped to his stomach as a Berbera looked up to the roof. It was covered in darkness, and thanks to Bell's dark-colored clothes, he was practically invisible. But he could feel the stare of the Berbera like she was looking directly at him.
Did she know he was here?
She couldn't. Bell made sure to enter out of sight and to be quiet as he did so. The Berbera looked at him for a few more seconds before walking off. A possible customer calling her attention.
Bell waited a moment before jumping to another rooftop. He stopped in his tracks as he felt a pair of eyes on him.
Their gaze wasn't hostile, nor was it friendly. It felt predatory. Like the one with the gaze wanted to snatch him up for themselves.
He looked around for the owner of the gaze but saw no one. He looked around even more as he felt another gaze exactly like the first.
Just who the hell could see him?
Bell now how a decision to make. He could continue on with his mission and talk with the fox girl. Or he could pull back as he had been spotted.
But where were the Berbera if he had already been seen? Shouldn't they have been on top of him by now?
No, these gazes were different from the Berbera. But how?
"I can figure it out later. Right now, I need to keep moving," Bell thought.
Bell continued his sneaking until finally reaching the target house. He could see the fox girl sitting in the room on her knees. As if she was waiting for someone.
Bell grabbed the edge of the roof and dropped down in front of a window. Its design was far eastern paper and wood instead of glass. Bell slid the window open and climbed inside.
"What are you doing here?!!"
.
.
.
.
"Hmm, so the little rabbit has come back to my district. It appears you're moving to Haruhime. Did she catch your fancy? If so, you can have her," Ishtar thought, looking at Bell through her divine mirror.
She swirled the wine in her glass before taking a sip of it. She clicked her tongue before setting the glass down. This boy interested her. A user of the six eyes with a heroic desire. It's not something that was normally seen with them.
Most six eyes users were cocky and arrogant because of their Infinity. They saw themselves as above others because they couldn't be hurt.
But it seemed this boy was different. Why, Ishtar didn't know, but from what she had seen, this boy was different from other users of the six eyes.
"Tammuz," Ishtar called.
The dark-haired man with tan skin approached her throne and kneeled.
"Yes, Lady Ishtar"
"Has my letter been sent to Kali?"
"It has Lady Ishtar. I've sent our quickest carrier pigeon. It should arrive to her by tomorrow afternoon."
Ishtar had a slight smirk on her face.
"Good, very good. You're dismissed, Tammuz."
"Lady Ishtar, before I leave, do I have permission to speak freely?"
Ishtar thought for a second.
"Very well, Tammuz," she said with an uninterested sigh.
"Why are you going this far for this boy? He doesn't seem that remarkable," Tammuz said.
Ishtar had an interested smirk on her face.
"Tammuz, are you perhaps jealous that another man has caught my attention?"
Tammuz was silent but gritted his teeth.
"From the rumors you have heard, I believe he is the most remarkable person here. Even more than silence and gluttony. Or he has the potential for such. Therefore I want him so I can knock that bitch Freya off her pedestal."
"I see. Thank you for your time, lady Ishtar."
Tammuz then got up and walked away. His thoughts of anger turned to a certain rabbit.
.
.
.
.
"My my my. It seems a little rabbit has invaded Ishtar's garden."
Freya sat high atop Babel on her throne. She used her divine mirror to keep watch of Bell. He had randomly passed by her in the street yesterday without him even realizing it.
She had been drawn to him because his soul was interesting. Half of it was a pure white, like snow. But the other half was a red inferno. One that threatened to devour her very eyes if she stared for too long.
"But why would you go to that cesspit she calls a district little bunny? I wonder?"
Freya watched as Bell stopped and looked around.
Could he feel her gaze on him? If so, he was much more exciting than before.
"A user of the six eyes. An interesting soul and confidence to sneak into Ishtar's cesspit. You, my dear little bunny, are very interesting."
Freya watched as Bell continued his journey of sneaking through the district. She watched as he made it to his target and snuck inside. Seeing a beautiful fox girl jump in fright.
"What are you doing here?!!"
Freya smirked.
"Oh, my, it seems the little rabbit might not be so innocent. Sneaking into a young girl's room. This should be very interesting."
.
.
.
.
"What are you doing here?!!" The fox girl shrieked as she backed away from Bell.
Bell tilted his head in confusion.
"Uh, I'm here to save you?"
The girl looked at him, confused.
"If you're here to save me, why did you break into my room? You're not gonna do anything to me, are you?"
The girl scooted back more and covered her chest with her hands. Bell put his hands up to show the girl he meant no harm.
"I'm not gonna do anything to you. I'm just here to help. Can you tell me your name, mine's Bell?"
The fox girl looked at him before answering.
"H-Haruhime"
Bell kept his hands up as he slowly sat down, making sure to keep the space Haruhime made.
"Nice to meet you, Haruhime, or meet you again."
Haruhime's eyes squinted at Bell before widening in recognition. "You're the boy from the street. What are you doing here? Do you know what the Berbera will do to you if they find out you're here?!"
"Yeah, I have a guess. But I'm here because you're here against your will, and I can tell from the look on your face it makes you sad."
Haruhime was quiet for a minute before answering.
"I'm here on my own free will. Lady Ishtar saved me, so I need to repay that debt."
Bell nodded. "Uh-huh. Is that what you tell yourself to help you sleep at night?" He asked.
Haruhime looked away, her ears pressing against her head.
"But I do. Lady Ishtar bought me, and I have to pay her back."
Bell rolled his eyes.
"You're lying, Haruhime, I can tell. Why aren't you honest with yourself?"
Haruhime looked away from Bell as she was having trouble facing him.
"Why-why do you care what happens to me? We don't even know each other, and I'm just a prostitute. I'm tainted and unworthy. You should just leave."
Bell remained sitting where he was. The space between the two had not closed at all. But Bell knew he wasn't going to leave.
"Haruhime, can I tell you something?" He asked.
Haruhime didn't say anything but nodded.
"I'm a lot different than everyone. My eyes are way better than theirs will ever be. But since my eyes are so good, it means I can see every tiny detail about something or someone. How many hairs are on someone's head. How many times a person blinks in a minute. The look of absolute fear on someone's face as they're about to die. The tiny bits and pieces on some vaporized in an explosion. The look of utter indifference my uncle had when he drove his sword down my chest. I remember it all."
Haruhime looked up and back to Bell.
"Why are you telling me this?" She asked.
"Because the look of pure and utter sadness on your face is the only thing I've thought of since I saw you," Bell answered.
Haruhime was quiet for a minute as she just looked at Bell. A person who knew nothing about her, and yet he wanted to help her.
But she didn't deserve this kindness. She was a prostitute. Someone tainted and who brings heroes to ruin. Someone as filthy as her didn't deserve to be saved. Not by someone as kind as Bell. The boy who snuck back in here because she looked sad.
"Thank you for offering, but I have to stay. The Berbera will be here soon and will notice that I'm gone. Besides, you shouldn't waste your time on someone like me."
Bell nodded his head as he moved his body to face the door. He remained sitting but kept his eyes focused on the door.
"What are you doing?" Haruhime asked.
"Staying"
"What, why?!!"
"Simple. If you're staying, I'm staying."
Haruhime's eyes widened. Was Bell stupid? If the Berbera caught him, who knows what would happen to him? What if Pyrhne caught him here? Haruhime knows for a fact what Phyrne would do to Bell if she found him.
"No, you need to leave! The Berbera will be back soon," Haruhime begged, trying to get Bell to leave her.
But it seems our foxy companion didn't know Bell's character at all.
"Ok," That was all Bell said as he kept looking at the door.
Haruhime was starting to get desperate now. Her captors could be back any minute now, and if they found Bell...
"I'm being serious. You need to leave?!!"
Bell didn't respond and remained quiet. His gaze was still on the door in front of him.
Haruhime looked at Bell, then the door back to Bell again. Her heart felt like it was beating out of her chest as fear coursed through her body. She needed to get him out of here and away from her. Bad things happened to the people who grew close to her.
Bell just remained still and calm as he didn't see anyone coming down the hallway. He'd made up his mind after Astraea said she wouldn't help Haruhime.
Was he technically going rogue by not listening to her? Was he a criminal now since he disobeyed his goddess and broke into the pleasure district?
If he was, oh well. Not like he really cared. He came here to help people and stop the dark age. If he left Haruhime to suffer, knowing that slavery. Especially sex slavery was illegal and outright disgusting. What type of person would he be?
One that abandons his goals and takes the easy road? No, that's not how he wants to live or be remembered as. His Grandpa would also be disappointed in him for leaving a girl like Haruhime to suffer.
But he knew there was more than just Haruhime as a slave here. There had to be more; Bell just needed to find them.
"Alright, fine, I'll go," Haruhime blurted out.
Bell smirked as his plan had worked. Just a simple I'm not leaving unless you leave while his life was in danger. God, he feels like Hermes pulling that trick.
"Alright, let me just get rid of this then," Bell muttered as he walked to Haruhime.
He crouched down and grabbed her slave collar and, with a simple flex of his finger, broke the collar into tiny pieces.
Haruhime looked at the collar in shock and awe.
"That was blessed by Lady Ishtar. How were you able to break it?"
"Weak ass blessing, I guess."
Bell then led Haruhime to her window and opened it, gesturing for her to wait. He peeked outside and saw the coast was clear.
He then swallowed the lump in his throat and began to feel nervous.
"I'm guessing you're not good at sneaking around?" Bell asked.
"No, I've always been under someone's watch. Never allowed to go too far on my own."
Bell clicked his tongue. Just his luck, he'd have to carry Haruhime out of her. Which means she would have to touch him.
"Alright, I'll carry you out. But I don't like people touching me, so I'm gonna move fast. Hold on tight."
Haruhime didn't have time to respond as he picked Haruhime up in a princess carry and jumped out the window. Her arms wrapped around Bell's neck as he began jumping from rooftop to rooftop at lightning speeds.
.

Alise paced back and forth in her goddess's office. Kaguya remained by the door, leaning against the wall, while Astraea had her head in her hands.
"There's no way he went back. He wouldn't do something that dumb right after you ordered him not to," Alise said, anger in her voice.
Kaguya remained silent while Astraea sighed.
"Knowing his personality, he most definitely did."
Alise clicked her tongue.
"Should I go look for him, goddess?"
Astraea took her hands off her head and set them on the table. "No, he'll be back. Once he is send him to my office. I'll talk with him."
Alise nodded before marching to the entrance of the Stardust Garden. Once Bell returned, she'd give him a piece of her mind.
Astraea then turned to Kaguya, who remained quiet and still.
"What do you think Kaguya?" Astraea asked.
"I believe Bell is doing the right thing. Sure, you told him not to go, as we'd get slaughtered in a fight with Ishtar. But you didn't see the look on this girl's face when we passed her."
"So, are you agreeing with his decision?" Astraea asked.
"I agree with his decision to help this girl. Not with his decision to disobey your orders."
Astraea hummed as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I just hope he's careful. I'm afraid of how he'll react if the Berbera grab him. You know what they do to men they find desirable."
Kaguya shivered in disgust.
"I pray for his well-being."
.
.
.
.
Ganesha walked into his office after getting back from visiting Ardee. He was glad she was okay and grateful to Bell for saving her.
He let out a chuckle at her new skill as it was exactly like Bells.
"Two peas in a pod, those two," he thought to himself, chuckling.
"Yo," Bell called out.
"Shit?!!" Ganesha yelled before calming down.
"Damnit, Bell, you scared the shit out of me."
Bell nervously chuckled. "Sorry about that, but I need your help."
Ganesha quirked an eyebrow. "So you snuck into my house to ask,"
Bell nodded. "Yes"
"Alright, what do you need?" Ganesha asked.
Bell gestured with his hand for Haruhime to come out from hiding. She nervously emerged from the darkness, her hands fidgeting and her tail nervously wagging.
"Ishtar was keeping her as a slave. So I broke her out and need a place to hide her. I obviously can't take her back to my home as we're too weak to defend her. So I thought, why not bring her here? You have the most level fives in the city."
Ganesha nodded as he looked at Haruhime.
"I'm sorry you had to experience what you did under Ishtar. Know that you will be safe in my home. I guarantee it."
Haruhime gave a nervous bow.
"T-thank you, Lord Ganesha."
Ganesha then looked at Bell and smiled.
"Looks like your grandfather was able to pass some wisdom off on you after all. But you do know this will draw Ishtar's attention, right?"
Bell nodded. "I'm well aware. Don't worry, though; I'm good at standing out and drawing attention to myself."
Ganesha chuckled. "That you are my boy. Now go and visit Ardee. She was expecting you earlier."
Bell put his hands up in mock surrender.
"Alright, alright, I'm off. Haruhime, I'll stop by later to check on you. After I get yelled at for disobeying my goddess."
Ganesha's eyes widened.
"You disobeyed Astraea. Oh boy, you're in trouble."
Bell just shrugged.
"Oh well"
Bell then opened Ganesha's window before jumping out of it and to the clinic.
.
.
.
.
Ardee sat in her bed, continuing to read where she left off after Ganesha left. She was reading a story about a soldier trying to stop the fall of his home.
She was interrupted from her reading by a knock on her door. Who would be here this late?
"Come in," she said, setting her book down.
Bell opened the door, smiling at her before closing it.
"You able to be discharged yet. It's boring having you stuck in here."
Bell grabbed a seat while Ardee smiled at him.
"Airmid says once my burns stop hurting me, I'll be able to leave. Now, how has your day been?"
Bell groaned as he leaned back in his chair.
"That bad?" Ardee chuckled.
"Let's just say I might not be able to visit in the coming days."
Ardee frowned at hearing this.
"Aw, why not?"
Is it because Bell saw her as ugly and didn't want to be around her anymore?
"I might've pissed off Ishtar."
He did what?!!!
"What do you mean you pissed off Ishtar?!" Ardee asked, panic in her voice.
"Was on patrol and saw she was practicing slavery. Kaguya and I had to pull back as her Berbera was surrounding us, and my time limit for my power was up. After that, we argued on what to do. So I disobeyed my goddesses' orders and went and saved her. I dropped her off at Ganesha's, so you'll see her around. But now I'm here, and once Ishtar realizes I took her, I get the fun job of fighting her off."
Ardee sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
"You're a troublemaker, aren't you?"
"Hey, I'm a problem solver. Slavery is wrong and illegal, so I took the slave and gave her freedom. Now I just need to find the rest of them and free them as well."
"Bell that would be declaring war on the whole pleasure district. That's insane."
"I know, which is why no one will suspect it. Some lone level five taking on all of the pleasure district in order to free all of the slaves. It's the stuff of hero stories."
Ardee rolled her eyes.
"So this is all to get your own hero story, huh?" she teased.
"Yes, I'm so vain that I'm willing to risk my own body and mind to free a bunch of slaves just to get my own story."
"Ah ha. I knew it. I'm so smart and mature."
"Yeah, so mature that you call my abilities spooky ghost powers."
"Because they are. The ability for no one to touch you screams you're a ghost," Ardee pouted.
Bell smirked as he had an idea.
"Whooo, I'm a spooky ghost here to fill your head with knowledge."
Ardee hid under her blanket.
"Ahh, someone save me a spooky ghost is haunting me."
Bell laughed as he yanked the blanket off her. Ardee smiled as she began laughing as well. Once the two stopped, they just stared at each other, their smiles still on their faces.
"I enjoy spending time with you, Bell," Ardee blurted out.
"I do, too. I'm pretty sure you're the first friend I've ever had. Hell, you're probably my best friend."
"Heh, heh. I knew you'd grow to like me."
Bell shook his head.
"Yeah, you grew on me. But if I'm not around, you'll know why."
Ardee gave Bell a thumbs-up with a smile.
"Alright, good luck on your mission, Bell. I believe in you."
.
.
.
.
Bell arrived back at the Stardust Garden very late in the night. He enjoyed spending his time with Ardee and savored it, as he didn't know when he'd be able to see her next.
He knew his actions would have dire consequences, but he wouldn't sit by knowing someone was suffering and he could help. That just wasn't in his character.
Walking inside, he was immediately stopped by Alise standing there with a level glare in her eye. She was attempting to intimidate him, but it didn't work.
He had faced worse glares before.
"I'm guessing you're angry," Bell calmly said.
"Only a little," Alise replied, her voice cold as ice.
"Right," Bell said, not believing her.
Bell began to walk past her but was stopped when Alise called out to him.
"Astraea wants to see you in her office. Now"
"Ok," Bell replied.
He changed his direction and was once again stopped by Alise calling out to him.
"Bell"
He stopped and turned around.
"Glad to see you're safe."
Bell didn't reply. Instead, he turned around and walked to Astraea's office. When he arrived, Bell knocked and was told to come in.
He opened the door and saw Astraea sitting on her couch in a regal-like manner. No one else was present, and Astraea patted the spot next to her.
Bell didn't say anything as he took his seat next to Astraea and remained silent.
"You disobeyed your goddess's orders," Astraea stated.
"I'm aware"
"You know I have to punish you for that."
"I was well aware of the consequences when I made my decision."
"Is the girl ok?"
Bell scoffed.
"So now you care about her?"
"I always cared about that girl. But there was no use sending my familia in there to be slaughtered by Ishtar's Berbera. Or worse"
Bell looked away as he knew what she was implying.
"Then don't send them. Just send me. Let me handle this."
"You know I won't do that. But I'm also aware I can't control you. Which means I don't know what to do with you, Bell."
"You gonna kick me out?" Bell asked.
He'd only been here for a month, so he wouldn't really care if he had to leave this familia. He'd just move on to the next one. He was also a very valuable person as a level five a lot of people would want him.
"No, that would be unreasonable, and we made a deal that if I took you in, you would deal with Zald and Alfia."
"I wouldn't say we made a deal. Even if I didn't join this familia, I'd still take them down."
Astraea wryly chuckled.
"That's one thing I like about you. Your unwavering determination with the odds stacked against you."
Astraea then turned to look at Bell, who still looked away.
"Are you 100 percent certain you want to do this on your own? Our familia won't be able to help you."
"I'm sure. There's more than just one slave there. I intend to free them all."
Astraea sighed as she figured out his punishment.
"Alright, I won't stop you, but I still need to punish you for disobeying me."
Bell nodded.
"I'm aware; what did you have in mind?"
"Come closer"
Bell did as she asked and scooted closer. He froze when he felt Astraea touch his head and bring it down to her lap.
"Bell, I need you to relax for me. I'm not gonna hurt you."
Bell felt the memories of Zald's sword dragging down his chest and the phantom pain from the scar. His body started to shake as he wanted to suppress the memories.
But his shaking was stopped when he felt Astraea run her hand through his hair.
"You're ok, Bell. I promise not to hurt you," Astraea softly cooed. Bell began to calm down a little but was still very uncomfortable.
"I-I d-don't like this," Bell stuttered out.
"Bell, you need to calm down. You're safe here. I will not harm you at all."
"W-why a-are you doing this"
"Because you use your infinity too much in the house. You nearly fry your brain every day because you're afraid of being touched or held. But I want to show you that physical contact isn't that bad."
Astraea kept running her hand through his hair as Bell began to calm down a little more, yet was still very uncomfortable.
"See, you're safe. You don't need to put up the act anymore," Astraea softly comforted.
Bell felt his breathing calm down and allowed his body to relax. He remained quiet as Astraea kept stroking his hair and began to him a soft tune.
Bell recognized the tune she hummed as Hera did the same thing before she had to leave. He didn't have many memories of her as she was there before his six eyes really matured. But he remembered she hummed him this tune one night when he was going to sleep.
Wait, why did she have to leave? Was she OK? Did Zeus find her yet?
"Bell, you're a part of my familia no matter what. I won't kick you out or treat you coldly just because we disagree. But after this business with Ishtar, you need to learn to trust us more. We're all fighting the same fight now."
Bell remained silent, not knowing how to respond. He didn't really trust that many people. The number of people he did, he could count on one hand and still have fingers remaining.
Sure, he fought alongside and slept under the same roof as the Astraea familia. But he didn't really trust them fully. Did he trust them to have his back? Yes, but that was where his trust ended.
One day, they could have his back, and then next, they could stab it. But from what he's seen, they didn't seem like people to intentionally harm him.
"Can we talk about this later? I'm tired," Bell said.
"Very well. Get some rest, Bell."
Bell went to get up but was stopped by Astraea.
"Just stay here and get used to my touch. I promise not to hurt you while you sleep."
Bell didn't know if it was because Astraea was one of the few he trusted. Or because he was too tired to put up much of a fight. But once his eyes closed, he fell into a deep slumber.
The first one not plagued by nightmares.
.
.
.
.
A week passed, and a letter arrived at Astraea's office. It was carried by a messenger pigeon. Astraea grabbed the letter and saw it had the seal of Ishtar stamped on it.
Astraea called for Bell, and when he arrived, she read it.
Astraea
I know what your boy has done. Send him to my district by nightfall, or else there will be consequences.
Ishtar
Astraea looked up from the letter to Bell. A worried look in her eye.
"Well, I guess it's showtime then," Bell said, a cocky smile on his face.
Astraea looked at Bell, her gaze piercing through his sunglasses and into his eyes. Her gaze and posture were full of worry and concern. But she knew Bell had to do this.
"Good luck, my child."
Bell gave a mock bow before walking to the door.
"Don't worry, I'll be back before sunrise."
Once he left, Astraea dropped the letter on her desk and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"May the odds be in your favor, Bell."
.
.
.
.
Bell arrived at the pleasure district right as the sun was setting. He wanted to make the Berbera antsy about his arrival. If they're nervous, they won't think as straight.
The second Bell stepped foot. He was immediately surrounded by Berbera. He kept his hands in his pockets with a cocky smirk on his face.
The leader of the Berbera, named Aisha, stepped forward and looked Bell up and down.
"Come with us. We'll take you to Lady Ishtar."
Bell did as she asked and followed her as the streets made way for them. Bell kept up his air of confidence and even waved at a few people in the crowd.
The first rays of moonlight began to shine when they arrived at Belit Babeli. Aisha led him and the Berbera up the stairs and, after a few minutes of walking, arrived at Ishtar's throne room.
Aisha, as the Berbera, then diapered, covering all the windows and exits as Ishtar looked down from Bell atop her throne.
Yet something was odd. A short and skinny woman with long red hair that is a color similar to fresh blood. She has brown skin and wears a revealing outfit and a necklace made of bones, a mask with fangs, and has a foreign and powerful gaze.
She looked at Bell intently and curiously.
"You gonna tell the two amazons to come out from behind your throne, and who's your friend?"
"Heh, you're a fiery one boy. Sure, I can't keep him, Ishtar. He'd produce strong children."
Ishtar gave the other goddess a side-eye.
"Not at this moment, Kali. Maybe after I've used him for my plans, you can have him."
Kali clapped her hands together and signaled for the two amazons behind Ishtar's throne to step out.
The first one was a woman with long, sand-colored hair, brown skin, and wearing a revealing outfit. She also wears a red skirt-like piece of clothing. Bell didn't see any weapons on her, so assumed she fought with her hands like he did.
The other was a woman with mid-length, sand-colored hair, brown skin, and wearing a revealing outfit. She also wears a black scarf over the bottom half of her face. He also didn't see any weapons on her.
"My my, aren't I lucky. Such esteemed visitors from Telskyura," Bell joked as he stretched.
"Hmm, so you know of us, child," Argana asked.
"I know many things," Bell replied.
Bache remained quiet as she stared at Bell, watching him stretch and not treat the situation seriously.
"I'll make my terms simple, boy. Join my familia, and I won't destroy Astraea's and make you watch," Ishtar demanded.
Bell cracked his knuckles, and he stared at Ishtar.
"Counter offer, let go of all the slaves you keep here, and I won't kick everyone's ass."
"You're up shits creek, and you don't have a paddle boy. Give up," Argana scoffed.
"Then it's a good thing I'm an amazing swimmer," Bell mocked.
Argana felt her blood starting to pump as a feral grin appeared on her face.
"I can't wait to ruin you!"
"Argana, halt," Ishtar commanded before the Amazon could attack Bell.
Ishtar turned her attention back to him and stared impassively at him.
"I assume you know why I've acquired you correct child," she said in a condescending tone.
"Because of my amazing looks and awesome personality."
"No, boy, I acquired you because I will use you to destroy Freya. After that, I care little for what happens."
"Oh well, if you want to take down Freya, you're stupid."
"Excuse me?!!" Ishtar shrieked.
"You're excused. But if you think clearly about it, if you take her spot, someone would be gunning for you, and the cycle repeats over and over again. If you actually had a brain, you would know this."
Ishtar growled as she raised her pipe at him. Enraged by his insolence.
"Break him and bring him to me when you're done," she ordered.
"Don't have to tell me twice," Argana cheered, charging at Bell.
Bache followed behind her, and the two sisters both threw punches. Bell didn't know who or what could break through his infinity, so he decided to play it safe.
He rolled under their punches and pushed himself to his feet. He used Blue and destroyed the ground beneath him.
His six eyes told him there were people under him, but he needed to get into a more open area to really go all out.
He also just wanted to have a little fun by making the amazons think they could win.
Landing on the ground, he saw something that nearly made him puke.
"Keh keh khe heh heh. Seems a little rabbit has invaded the garden," A toad-like woman said.
Bell could feel the strength of the women all around him and knew they were all level fives. Reinforcements from Kali.
"Oh, come on, rabbit, why ya running? Where's that confidence from earlier!" Arganna roared as she followed after Bell. Bache landed quietly behind her.
"Simple, I wanted a less crowded area," he taunted before punching her in the face.
He moved to the side, dodging an amazons kick. Grabbing her ankle and throwing her against the wall, knocking the wind out of her.
He caught Bache's fist before sweeping her legs out from under her and stomping on her stomach.
He jumped back, avoiding an axe from the ugly toad woman. He spun on his heel and leaned back, dodging a kick from Arganna.
He spun around and faced the small but elite force of Amazons staring him down. By his count, there were six of them. Four level fives and two levels sixes.
He smirked. Maybe he'll struggle with this fight.
"Well, before we get serious, I need to do one thing," Bell said, holding his finger up.
"Well, hurry the fuck up them," Argana said. She really wanted to fight him.
Bell reached up and, took his sunglasses off, and tucked them into his shirt pocket. He opened his eyes, and everyone was stunned at his glowing red orbs.
All except one.
"Heh heh, now that you're done with that," Argana laughed as she charged again.
Bell smiled as Argana threw her fist, aiming at his face, getting closer and closer.
This fight was just beginning.
Well, I think this is a good stopping point. Looks like Bell might start to trust more and not be a social recluse.
Also, someone said it was dumb of Bell to use infinity while he was in his house as that wastes the time limit he has, and they're right. That's the whole point of him doing it in the house to be seen as dumb.
Also, the reason Gojo is able to use it as much as he wants is because he uses his reverse cursed technique to constantly heal his brain so it doesn't fry.
But Bell doesn't have that.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you later.
