Bell Cranel, The Reincarnation of The Quincy King

by Freticles

After Yhwach dies, he finds himself in a black void with a voice speaking to him. He then learns that he will be reborn as someone else to restart and make up for all the evil he has done. He then finds himself merging with a soul that is so pure, that it changes his personality, goals, and feelings. He wakes up to find himself in the body of Bell Cranel from Danmachi.

15. Chapter 15 - Rivira Part 3

Lily POV

'I was simply following Yhwach's orders which were to evacuate any and all civilians in the town of Rivira and gathered all of the adventurers I came across to do a counter attack on the Goliath. But that is when I heard a scream, not a roar of rage, but a scream that filled me with the feeling of impending doom. Welf seemed to notice this too, as his whole body freezed. But in all of the chaos, only the more composed adventurers seemed to notice, as all of the civilians and panicking adventurers didn't seem to either care or notice in all of the chaos. But as the screams filled with pain and suffering continued, I soon realized that the dungeon was the cause and source of the scream. As I then remembered what this meant by Master Yhwach recently after I turned level 2.

Flashback

"You have done a very good job on both mastering the abilities your falna grants you and the power of the Quincy that I have bestowed upon you." - Bell said whilst fondly patting Lily on the shoulder. But as he looked Lily in the eye, he noticed something forming in her eye that he needed to stop before it could grow, that being cockiness.

"But don't become too confident Lily, as there are beings in this world that even I would struggle to face." - Bell said, causing Lily's eyes to go wide in surprise.

"B-but how? you're the strongest? What could possibly stand a chance against you?" - Lily said in obvious distress, causing Bell to sigh.

"Lily, let me tell you a little story about how I got into the situation I am in, and how I got here in the first place," - Bell said as if he was going to tell his children a part of his past. "You too Welf." - Bell said to the smith, who was currently eating chips whilst reading a book. As he proceeded to tell the 2 about the battle and history between the 3 main powers in his old world, that being the Quincy, Hollows, and Shinigami and the wars they fought against each other, all the way up to the point he got to cocky and confident after absorbing the Soul King, resulting in his death at the hands of the men he both respected and hated, Ichigo Kurosaki and Sosuke Aizen.

"I understand now, even though you were the strongest, you were defeated because the 2 people next in line to become the strongest teamed up to beat you and you got too cocky. Is that correct Ywhach?" - Welf said, gaining a nod of affirmation from Bell.

"But I don't understand, there shouldn't be a single being in this world except for the gods and the rumored Elder gods themselves that could possibly defeat you?" - Lily said in confusion, causing Bell to shake his head in exasperation.

"Not exactly Lily, there are a couple monsters in particular that if I am not careful, could defeat me."

"Really? What would that be?" - Lily asked with a curious look directed at Bell. Causing Bell to get lost in thought, comparing the pros and cons of telling Lily and Welf about such creatures, as he ultimately decided to tell them the truth.

"Very well, the first one you should know of is the most advanced evolution of a Hollow, Vasto Lorde, its Reiatsu is equal to a low tier captain with their Shikai or possibly even Bankai depending on the Hollow. But if a Hollow tears off a part of its mask, it will reach another evolution, that being an Arrancar. As when a hollow becomes an Arrancar, they will gain their own version of a Zanpakuto along with being able to use a transformation called 'Resurrection', as in this state, they are equal to a low tier Captain whilst using their Bankai." - Bell said, causing Lily and Welf's faces to go pale at the idea of facing such foes, as they themselves are at the level of a high tier Vice Captain with their Bankai when Welf and Lily go all out.

"However, much like a Zanpakuto, some Arrancar are able to take it a step further and unlock a second form, similar to how a Zanpakuto has 2 forms." - Bell said, causing Lily and Welf to get out of their small trance and focus on Bell.

"This is called, 'Segunda Etapa', as when an Arrancar is able to use this form, their strength is at the level of a mid to high tier captain using their Bankai. In fact, there has been only one documented case of an Arrancar reaching Segunda Etapa, as this hollows name was Ulquiorra Cifer, and if I were to fight that hollow in my weakened state, it would take everything I have to take it down and even then, it isn't a guarantee that I would win, as I would have an 65% chance of winning against Ulquiorra at my current level of strength." - Bell said, causing Lily and Welf's eyes to widen at the thought of Bell losing, as well as how strong the hollow known as Ulquiorra Cifer must have been.

"But hypothetically, if you were to once again reach the level of strength you had during the Thousand Year Blood War, what would your chance of losing be against Ulquiorra?" - Welf asked curiously, as he wanted to get an idea of what level his king was at during his prime. As this caused Bell to let out a small chuckle in amusement, causing both Welf and Lily to tilt their heads in confusion.

"Ah, well lets just put it this way, I would crush Ulquiorra without even being forced to use The Almighty with the odds of me losing being abysmal." - Bell said, causing Lily and Welf to dumbly nod, slightly terrified at the thought of how strong their king truly is when he isn't holding anything back.

"However, there are still others that can kill me, aside from the 3 monsters of the 3 great quests which are the Behemoth, the Leviathan, and the One Eyed Black Dragon. There is a monster I would ask the both of you to not engage unless absolutely necessary or unless I say so. That being the Juggernaut, it is a monster that spawns whenever there is too much damage to the dungeon for it to handle, so it spawns a monster to deal with any and all threats with no mercy, as it can spawn on any floor, as the deeper the floor it spawns, the stronger it gets. It has a black skeleton-like body with red eyes that have black pupils similar in shape to that of a frog, not to mention that it has a protective coating that causes all magic to be reflected. You will know when it spawns since the dungeon itself will yell out in pain. So just know this, until you are both able to use all of your Quincy abilities perfectly and master your fighting styles, so for the safety of the both of you, if we ever come across this monster, leave it to me, because when the time comes, I will show you both what a Quincy can really do." - Bell said with a small smile, causing Lily and Welf to nod and give a smile in return.

Flashback End

'It was after this thought that the very monster Yhwach spoke of revealed itself in all of its terrifying glory from the side of the wall. The first thing I noticed was that it immediately started to look at its surroundings and all of the different monsters and humans on the 18th floor, but although it was only for a moment, when its eyes fell onto me, it was at that moment that I realized that this monster was truly out of my league. But as it continued to observe its surroundings, its eyes came to a sudden halt, so once I followed its gaze, I saw the form of my master, teacher, captain, king, father figure, and friend, Yhwach. But unlike Welf's and my gaze when the attention of the Juggernaut focused its attention on us, Yhwach showed no fear, no anger, no joy, or type of emotion whatsoever. But after a few seconds of the 2 symbols of power and despair gazed at one another, I noticed that Yhwachs said something, but because of his distance, I was unable to hear what he said or read his lips, but the Juggernaut on the other hand, did. As after he said that, the Juggernaut charged at Yhwach, as Yhwach did the same, and that was the last I saw of them, their speed so great that I only saw their forms in a blur and the sparks in their surrounding area from what seemed to be because of their clashing. However, I then noticed a sound of a stick breaking, as I looked over Welf, only to see him in a trance-like state, trying to walk towards the general direction of where Yhwach and the Juggernaut were fighting. With that in mind, I immediately stopped him by grabbing his arm.

"Don't even think about it Welf, we both know that if either of us were to try and assist him, we would only be a hindrance." - Lily said, causing Welf to scowl but also causing him to stop his movements towards the battle between the Quincy king and the Juggernaut.

"The best we can do for now is evacuate the civilians and gather all of the adventurers that are here to form a counter attack against the Goliath." - Lily said, causing Welf to bite his lip, drawing a small amount of blood.

"Fine." - Was all Welf said, obviously disappointed at the fact that he couldn't help his captain whilst there were still bystanders that were in danger, and knowing that he couldn't help him even if he tried.

Bell POV

'Dammit, this thing is a lot faster than I thought it would be, the warning that Ouranos gave me doesn't do it justice." - Bell said, as he doged a stab from one of the beasts claws, as he was then hit in the neck by the Juggernauts tail, thankfully, he was able to activate Blut Vene, because if he didnt, his neck most definitely would have been broken. But that is all it did, as he was still sent flying into multiple trees, as he came to a stop against a massive boulder, creating a small but noticeable indentation into the said boulder.

'From the brief moments of contact, I was able to get an estimate on its strength. Its speed was slightly faster than me, and considering that I have taken off my gravity bracelets and have been using Hirenkyaku at full power, it says a lot about its speed. However, Its strength is only at the level of a high level 3, with its durability being that of a low level 3. Its agility however, is nothing to scoff at, as even with its seemingly skinny structure, the amount of speed it can gather with such small movements is truly commendable. With all the information I have gathered thus far, it is safe to say that this monster was built for the sole purpose of killing adventurers, since its main attributes is the fact that it can move so incredibly fast and having the agility to match it, but its strength and especially its durability lagging behind. But to think that it is this powerful even though it only spawned on the 18th floor… there is no wonder that the entire Astrea familia which consisted of level 4 and 3 adventurers were slaughtered on the 30th floor.' - Were the last thoughts Bell could form before the Juggernaut once again pounced on him, attempting to grab him in its mouth with what seemed to be the intent to eat him.

Bell countered however, with a simple but powerful roundhouse kick to the side of its head, launching it away. But seemingly right after it was kicked, the Juggernaut immediately corrected itself mid air and immediately propelled itself towards Bell. Bell responded by sending a firebolt into its face, but the Juggernaut seemed to reverberate a weird color around the area of impact before the firebolt was reflected towards Bell, who tilted his body to the side.

'Now that I have an understanding of how its magic reflection works, all I need to do is create a plan to disable it." - Bell thought, as he ducked under the oncoming tail swipe from the said beast before sliding under it, trying to gut it in the process, only for the Juggernaut to quickly jump into the air, completely avoiding the sword.

"You're quite the intelligent little bastard aren't you?" - Bell asked with a slightly amused and annoyed expression, as the Juggernaut stretched at him before dashing towards Bell at speeds that it has yet to show, causing Bell's eyes to widen slightly, as he was barely able to deflect the oncoming claw with Zangetsu before his entire arm was cut off at the bicep.

But this didn't seem to startle the Quincy, as he charged Argonaut into his fist with the equivalent of a 10 second charge whilst combining it with Blut Vene, punching the Juggernaut in its chest, launching it backwards at blistering speeds towards the opposite side of the dungeon. As Bell took this opportunity to relay back to Welf and Lily.

Back with Welf and Lily

"Is that the last of them?" - Welf asked whilst letting out a sigh, as a sum of 53 adventurers were currently in the background gathering supplies whilst setting up various types of defenses to counter the Black Goliath when necessary.

"Yes, all of the civilians were evacuated, they are currently being held in a large underground tunnel at the opposite side of the 18th floor." - Lily responded, as Welf was in charge of gathering the adventurers with Lily evacuating the civilians.

But suddenly, they heard a whoosh, as they tried to grab their weapons, only for their captain to grab their wrists, preventing them from wielding their respective weapons.

"First of all, the both of you need to be quicker on your draw speed, as if I were an enemy, you both would be dead." - Bell said with a smirk, causing Welf to roll his eyes with a fond smile. "Were you able to take down the Juggernaut?" - Lily questioned since the said monster was nowhere in sight.

"No, I knocked it to the opposite side of the dungeon so I could send a message." - He said, causing Lily to raise an eyebrow.

"And that would be?" - She finished with a confused look, as Bell responded with a small grin.

"I grant the both of you permission to use the full extent of your abilities, regardless of who sees you or not." - Bell said, causing Welf and Lily to go wide eyed with their chins seeming to touch the ground with how low they were hanging, only for them to close their mouths and returning to a blank expression as they looked towards each other, as a girn of pure excitement appeared on both of their faces, as the 2 nodded to Bell, returning to the preparing adventurers to plan an all out attack on the Black Goliath. As Bell, not wanting to waste anymore time, blitzed toward the location he thought it would be, only to find it was not there. But when he sensed his surroundings, he was able to pinpoint the Juggernauts location, which was heading straight towards Asfi and Ryu who were currently fending off the Black Goliath.

'This inferior little-' - Bell thought as a tick mark appeared on his forehead in frustration, as he then used Sankt Bogen to launch himself towards the Juggernaut at what should have been impossible speeds.

The juggernaut however, was extremely close to the green haired elf known as Ryu and was approaching her fast, as this only seemed to cause Ryu to completely freeze since the monster who slaughtered her familia is right in front of her, about to tear into her flesh and bones and eat her. But at the last moment, Bell came flying into the side of the juggernauts head whilst dislodging himself from the arrow made from Sankt Bogen that pierced him through which for some reason didn't create any wound, causing the Juggernaut to get launched away to the side and completely missed Ryu.

"C-C-Cranel san? What are you doing here? You can't fight that thing?" - She said after she noticed that the figure who changed the trajectory of the oncoming juggernaut was none other than Bell, causing him to let out a small grin before pointing a finger to himself.

"You don't worry about that, I am WAY stronger than you think." - He said, causing Ryu to lift her eyebrow in confusion on what she thought was false bravado, however, Asfi then noticed that she was the only one fighting the goliath, causing her to yell out to Ryu.

"Where are you Ryu!? I can't keep this thing distracted forever!" - Asfi yelled, as she was just barely able to dodge an oncoming punch from the goliath, as she tried to cut its wrist, only to see that the thin cut she made on the creature healed almost instantly, causing her to click her tongue in annoyance.

But before Ryu could get back on her feet, she noticed the Juggernaut which appeared behind Bell and was about to strike him down, but before she could even blink, Bell turned around and in the next instant, lunged at the Juggernauts horn and began to use Hirenkyaku to drag the Juggernaut through the air.

"Don't worry about me! Just focus on the Goliath!" - Bell yelled to Ryu whilst e seemingly flew away with the juggernaut as his luggage, causing Ryu to simple become gobsmacked at the scene before her, but knowing that she herself had rather lare problem, she had no choice but to ignore it and hope to the elder gods that Bell will be safe.

Bell on the other hand, once he felt like he was a satisfactory distance away from everyone else so no one else would get involved, he immediately chucked the Juggernaut towards the ground, but to his surprise it was somehow able to wrap its boney tail around his body, slamming Bell into the ground with the same force it did, causing Bell to spit saliva. But knowing that this was a battle between life or death, he immediately decided to use a Heilig Pfeil to try and finish the fight as quickly as possible. So as fast as he could, he flew above the crash site of where they landed and charged a blue orb of reishi on the tip of his pointer finger, as hundreds of consecutive Heilig Pfeil to kill it. But as the dust settled, the Juggernaut was nowhere to be seen, but that was when Bell's battle hardened instincts began to scream at him to move to which he followed without any hesitation, as he was just barely able to dodge the oncoming slash from the Juggernaut, however he was unable to escape unscathed, as his right shoulder now had a piece of skin missing, to which he didn't even flinch.

'I don't get it, it's getting harder and harder for me to sense this monster, as it is almost like its spiritual energy is slowly dropping down to zero which couldn't be right. Actually, that would explain the vision I had.' - Bell thought, remembering back to the weird vision he had when he used the Almighty against that level 5 adventurer from before.

His thoughts however, were soon interrupted by an oncoming stab from the Juggernauts tail, but when he tried to doge, the juggernaut's tail followed the direction in which he was dodging, as the tip of its tail was able to pierce right through Bell's foot before he then cut off the top of the Juggernauts tail, allowing him to unlock his foot from the tip of the juggernauts tail with a quick pull, causing his eye to twitch, as he threw the tip of the Juggernauts tail away, as the 2 adversaries began to circle one another to size each other up.

'Not only that, but it is starting to adapt to the way I fight. What a truly magnificent killing machine.' - Bell finished his thought with a smile, as he and the Juggernaut once again charged at one another with a blur, and continued to re-engage and disengage in close quarters combat, each inflicting wounds to each other of which none really hindered the way they fought and were not fatal. Neither one of the 2 combatants gained the upper hand in this gruesome battle between the King of the Quincies and the feared destroyer born from the dungeon known as the Juggernaut.

But as the fight continued, Bell noticed that the Juggernaut started to slow down. However, he knew better than to take the bait, so instead, he feigned going in for a potential kill shot as the juggernaut responded with swiping its claw towards Bell, only for him to activate Blut Vene which stopped the Juggernauts claw in its tracks.

"Oh?" - Bell said in interest, as he noticed the small trickle of blood running down his forearm where he blocked one of the oncoming claws from the Juggernaut even though he had Blut Vene activated on his whole body.

'It seems I have gotten even weaker than I thought, as something like this would normally not even leave a scuff, and yet I got cut…', "UNACCEPTABLE!" - Bell said, finishing his thought with a yell, as he then shoved his palm into the Juggernauts claw, snapping off its middle claw at the knuckle causing the Juggernaut to scream in pain.

Bell however took this opportunity to quickly charge Argonaut into his right arm, as he then slammed shut the opened maw of the Juggernaut, causing its molars to shatter.

Bell then grabbed onto the lower part of the Juggernaut's jaw, as he then swung the Juggernaut face first into the ground as hard as he could. Sadly for Bell, the Juggernaut simply stopped its face from hitting the ground by putting its arm in front of it, as it then swung its arm at Bell with the intent to pierce him all the way through his torso to which Bell tried to dodge, sadly however, when he tried to back peddle away, he wasn't fast enough, as the Juggernaut was able to pierce the lower right side of his abdomen, as the very tip of its claw was just barely sticking out of his back. Knowing that him hesitating for even a second would result in his death, Bell quickly sliced the claw that pierced him through with Zangetsu after infusing it with Reishi slightly below where it was connected with him, causing the Juggernaut to screech in pain which gave Bell the opportunity to bull back the rest of the claw that pierced him, as he casted Firebolt onto his wound to cauterize it, preventing his punctured organs from spilling out.

Bell, deciding that he was going to end it, quickly stabbing Zangetsu into the right limb of the juggernaut whilst casting firebolt on his sword, causing it to bypass the barrier of the Juggernaut that reflects magic, causing it to seemingly shatter and disperse into the air. As he then sliced down, cutting the limb of the Juggernaut off, as he then infused his spiritual energy into the exposed wound of the Juggernaut, poisoning it and causing the Juggernaut to scream.

But as the Juggernaut tried to whip Bell with its tail, Bell simply used its momentum, as all he had to lift his sword, causing the Juggernaut to, in a sense, cut its own tail off. As he then quickly grabbed the side of the tail that was still connected to the Juggernaut, as he then, in a burst, activated Argonaut in his whole body, giving him more than enough strength to slam the Juggernaut into the ground, causing the body of the Juggernaut to tremble as a crater was formed where it was slammed into the ground with a loud screech of the Juggernaut, which was soon cut short, courtesy of Bell, who stabbed Zangetsu in the top of the Juggernauts head, causing it's screeching to slowly die down until it was completely silent, not moving at all. Causing Bell to let out a sigh and collapse to the side of the Juggernaut, which lay dead next to Bell, but unlike the other monsters, it didn't disappear in a cloud of smoke.

Bell has done the impossible, he has killed the apex predator and ultimate defense system of the dungeon, the Juggernaut.

With Lily and Welf

"Is everything ready Welf?" - Lily asked Welf, as in the background, 4 massive catapults with massive boulders that had a green substance coating the boulders could be seen along with over 20 mages, as the rest were close combat fighters.

"Yes, we just have to lure the Goliaths attention." - Welf replied, as both he and Lily looked at each other before giving a nod, seemingly coming to an agreement silently.

"LISTEN UP!" - Lily yelled in a commanding tone, as everyone halted what they were doing to look at her.

"ME AND MY PARTNER ARE GOING TO LURE THE GOLIATHS ATTENTION TOWARDS US. AFTER WE GAIN ITS ATTENTION, I WANT THE PEOPLE ON THE CATAPULTS TO FIRE THEM TOWARDS THE GOLIATHS TORSO, AFTER THAT, THE MAGES WILL LAUNCH THEIR STRONGEST SPELLS AT ITS CHEST WITH EVERYTHING THEY GOT! - Lily yelled, causing everyone to yell out a roar agreement.

"ALL CLOSE COMBAT FIGHTERS, DISTRACT THE GOLIATH AFTER WE GET IT INTO POSITION! GOOD LUCK, MAY THE ELDER GODS PROTECT US ALL!" - Lily finished, getting an even larger roar from the pent up level 2 and 3 adventures who all wanted a crack at the Black Goliath, as Welf and Lily charged towards the Goliath.

"What's the plan?" - Welf asked Lily, as the 2 were gliding on a stream of Reishi towards the Goliath who was currently being distracted by Ryu and Asfi.

"Let's get the attention of both Asfi and Ryu to get them out of the way, then we will shoot it with our Schrift enhanced Heilig Pfeil." - Lily said, getting a nod from Welf as they closed in on the Goliath.

With Ryu and Asfi

"I am running low on stamina, how much longer do we need to keep this up?" - Asfi shouted to Ryu, as she was barely able to dodge an oncoming fist from the Goliath, as she threw a handful of weird looking stones which exploded in the Goliaths face when it came into contact with its skin, causing it to roar in annoyance.

"It doesn't matter, we stay here until-." - Ryu tried to reply, but was interrupted from a scream by a familiar voice.

"Out of the way! We are going to lure it towards a kill zone!" - Welf yelled out, causing Ryu and Asfi to look at them confusedly.

"Are you nuts?! This thing's strength is at least that of a level 6, its speed is just so much slower which is how we have been able to keep up! You both are only level 2, you will both get squished!" - Asfi yelled, not intending to insult the 2 of them, but hoped to prevent them from going on a suicide mission.

"Just do it!" - Lily yelled, as she created a bow and arrow made out of Reishi, Welf doing the same, as the 2 stopped moving so they could focus on infusing their arrows with their Scrifts, which Ryu noticed, causing her to go wide eyed, as Asfi followed suite after noticing what the 2 were doing.

"How are they both able to make bow and arrows out of that weird energy because it's definitely not magic? And shouldn't one person have a specific skill? As this is most definitely not a Developmental ability?" - Asfi said as she narrowed her eyes at the 2 adventurers as Lily's arrow then started to form an element of electricity with Welf's arrow starting to have an element of fire, causing her to narrow her eyes even more in suspicion.

"It doesn't matter, what I do know is that whatever they are using seems to be very powerful and I don't plan on being in the crossfire." - Ryu said, quickly using her magic to help guide her away from the area, as she was then followed soon after by the reluctant Asfi, causing the Goliath to switch its attention towards the 2, as it began to charge towards them.

But after the Goliath got 50 meters away from them, the 2 Quincies both launched their respective arrows at the Goliath, one exploding in a fiery fashion, briefly melting the skin of the Goliath's face, as the other shot straight through the Goliath's forehead. But after a brief moment of silence, the Goliath let out a roar of unrivaled fury, as it charged towards the 2 adventurers full speed, regenerating at a fast rate as it did so.

"GO GO GO GO GO!" - Welf said, getting the jitters as the hulking form of the Goliath began to approach them, causing Welf to comically run away, forgetting that he could use Hirenkyaku which caused Lily to smack her forehead with a sigh of annoyance and disbelief, as she rode a wave of Reishi towards Welf, as she then picked him up by the color to which he responded with a frown, realizing that he had a better option for escape, that being Hirenkyaku. As Lily then continued towards the predetermined killzone with the Black Goliath following suite.

As the 2 began to approach the intended area, Welf let out an extremely loud whistle, almost causing Lily to drop him, but soon after, a group of adventurers armed to the teeth appeared, charging towards the Goliath. Lily then continued towards the area with the catapults, Welf still being carried like a misbehaving toddler much to her amusement and Welf's dismay.

But because of the difference in power, the Goliath didn't take long to fling away and knock out half of the group of close combat fighters along with killing a few that that were low level 2'a, as the only ones left were the mid-high level 3's, but still, they never wavered even against this seemingly unstoppable catastrophe. Thankfully, Welf and Lily reached the area where the catapults were being held, as Welf let out another whistle, as the people standing next to where the boulders were lighted them up with a torch, causing the massive boulders to be coated in a layer of fire, as they were soon sent flying into the air straight towards the Goliath. To their luck, the Boulders each perfectly hit the torso of the Goliath along with setting the Goliaths skin on fire, causing the floor boss to stumble from the impact. But not a moment later, the various mages all shot their strongest attacks, that being a mix of fire balls, water turrets, lightning bolts, ice, and earth spikes, and wind currents, as they all hit the Goliath right in the chest, causing it to stop screaming as its magic stone was now exposed.

"Son of a bitch! It wasn't enough!" - Welf yelled in a mixture of rage and frustration, as their best chance of success seemed to flee. But to the surprise of all the adventurers, a voice called out.

"Well done, you all have fought very well in my absence, call me impressed, but you all can rest, leave the rest to me." - The voice finished, causing the people who haven't heard this voice before to look at each other in confusion, as the people who have heard it before went wide eyed as they couldn't forget the commanding and intimidating power house known as Bell Cranel. As this same man, in a flash for all of the spectors with the exception of Welf and Lily as even they only saw a blur, came flying through the air on a stream of Reishi which could barely be noticed by Welf and Lily, as Bell then shoved his sword in the small spot where the Goliaths magic stone was located, twisting it and causing the magic stone to crack, as he finished it off whilst wordlessly casting firebolt onto the tip of his sword, causing the Magic stone to explode, resulting in the entire body of the Black Goliath to erupt in a puff of black smoke, as the only sign that it existed was the large piece of Goliaths Hard Skin which was a rare drop item which could only be obtained by killing a Black Variant of the Goliath.

But as Bell fell through the air, he performed a backflip, landing on his legs, causing everyone to let out a cheer as he turned around towards the group of adventurers that participated in this short fight, as he then saw Welf and Lily who were waving at him with huge grins.

"That was awesome Bell, I couldn't have expected that you would come in and finish the Goliath at the last second." - Welf cheered, causing Bell to let out a shrug with a small grin.

Their cheers were soon cut short as Lily let out a scream.

"YHWACH, LOOK OUT!" - Lily cried out to Bell unknowingly using his real name which no one seemed to notice inn all of the cheering, but it was too late, as quicker then Bell had time to react, the Juggernaut that he previously thought he killed, had stabbed Bell in the back with its claw, piercing all the way through him which caused him to spit out blood as the cheering adventurers went silent, Asfi and Ryu gasping as they barely saw the moment when Bell was stabbed in the back.

But it wasn't over, as the juggernaut the turned its claw sideways, slashing outwards with its claw which left a massive gash that went all the way through Bell's body that stopped right after where his heart was located, meaning it was destroyed when the juggernaut stabbed him, as Bell, King of the Quincies, son of the Soul King, Grandson of Zeus, captain of the Hestia Familia, perished at the claws of the Juggernaut.

Lily, after seeing her master and savior getting killed, couldn't help but puke up the contents of her stomach, as Welf fell to his knees in despair, Asfi covering her mouth with her hand. Ryu on the other hand, much like Welf, fell to her knees and started to stare off into space, unable to fathom that the same monstrosity that slaughtered her entire familia was back, as it killed one of the few people she considered her true friends, as everyone else would be its next victims.

Welf and Lily on the other hand, had other thoughts, because the moment the shook wore off, they were filled with a feeling of pure rage and anger, as they were both growling like wild animals, as Welf drew his broadsword, swinging it downwards with all his might which caused an arc of fire to go shooting towards the Juggernaut which it was able to dodge with little difficulty. However not a moment later, Lily appeared right on top of the juggernaut, attempting to perform an ax kick whilst using Lightning Jump for the second time, but before her leg connected, what was left of the Juggernaut's tail slammed into her, sending her flying to the ground, as the Juggernaut charged to her location about to cleave her prone form in half, only to be stopped by the Broadsword of Welf.

"You bastard!" - Welf yelled in rage, as for a brief moment, he was able to redirect the Juggernauts attack which is all he needed, as he pointed his finger towards the Juggernauts head.

"Burner Finger 1." - Welf said, as a stream of burning hot fire shot from his pointer Finger towards the Juggernauts head, to which it dodged before using its head to try and catch Welf in its jaws. Thankfully, at the last moment, Welf activated Blut Vene, as he then grabbed the Juggernauts head.

"Now Lily!" - Welf yelled, as Lily then shot her hands up in the air before slamming them to the ground, causing a massive lightning bolt to slam down on the back of the Juggernaut, causing it to go into a brief spasm, but as the massive lightning strike disappeared, it showed that the only lasting damage the Juggernaut took was a dark burn mark on most of its back, as with a scream of pain and anger, it swiped its arm towards the tired form of Lily, as she put all her power into that hail mary strike of lightning, which only seemed to anger the Juggernaut.

But before the Juggernaut could cleave Lily into 3 pieces, Welf tried to block its strike with his forearms by crossing them in front of him in an x formation whilst infusing as much Reiatsu into them as possible, giving an extra boost for his Blut Vene. But it only lasted for a brief moment, even though Welf stopped its claws from cleaving him and Lily into 3 pieces, the sheer force and power of the Juggernaut was able to lift Welf off of his feat as he slammed into Lily, as the 2 were then sent flying through multiple different trees, as they came to a stop when they crashed into a boulder which now had the outline of Welf and Lily's unconscious forms.

After the Juggernaut verified that the 2 adventurers were subdued, it turned its attention to the now fearful mass of adventurers, as they then began to run away in a mass of chaos, to which the Juggernaut seemed to somehow smile sadistically, as it then leaped towards the mass of adventures, as it began to slaughter them like cattle.

Meanwhile, Ryu was in a state of shock and disbelief on what was happening, as the same disaster that happened all those years ago, to which Asfi started to shake her by her shoulders to snap her out of her daze.

"Listen to me Ryu, we have to kill that monster before it slaughters everyone on the 18th floor!" - Asfi said to Ryu, who simply shook her head.

"It doesn't matter, there is nothing we can do against that monster." - Ryu said, tears falling from her eyes.

"Yes there is! Look around us, adventurers are getting slaughtered mercilessly by this beast, if we don't help, then everyone, no, everything on the 18th floor will be either killed or destroyed." - Asfi said, letting go of Ryu.

"There is no time left, if you wish to stand aside then you can do just that. I have no intentions of letting any more adventurers face the same fate that Bell Cranel did." - Asfi finished, knowing that her final words to Ryu would hopefully fill her with a feeling of rage that can be directed towards the unknown monster that is slaughtering everyone.

But as Asfi approached the Juggernaut, she threw explosives towards the beast to get the drop on it, as to which the Juggernaut seemed to vanish in a blur of speed, surprising Asfi as she was barely able to dodge an oncoming stand from behind, courtesy of the said monster.

'Such speed, and to think that me, a mid - tier level 5 could barely see its movements, just what type of monster is this' - Asfi thought with nervousness, as she was uncertain what action she should take next.

Ryu however took this moment to finish chanting for her spell Luminous Wind, because as soon as she heard Asfi leaving the area, she began to chant, as this was the perfect amount of time for her to complete the chant for her spell. Casting all of the orbs towards the Juggernaut in the hopes that its magic reflection barrier was destroyed, to which it was, as all of the orbs of energy suddenly exploded upon coming into contact with the Juggernaut. However, unknown to Ryu, her attack missed, as the Juggernaut once again leaped out of the way at the last moment, as the orbs of energy exploding was caused by a chain reaction after the first one hit, as Ryu simply didn't have the Mind left to put in a lot of focus into her spell since she just finished distracting a black variation of a floor boss for roughly 10 minutes.

But as the Juggernaut came closer towards Ryu, she moved out of the way at the last moment, but sadly, she was still nicked by the Juggernauts claws, as a deep gash was now on her left arm. On the bright side, Asfi was able to catch the Juggernaut off guard as she was able to slice into its back, on top of where its magic stone should be to which the Juggernaut let out a screech of pain, but not disappearing which surprised Asfi.

"Don't ponder on why it hasn't been killed by your strike, this thing has no magic stone." - Ryu said, causing Asif's eyes to go wide in surprise and even more fear than before.

"Then how do we win?"

"2 ways, dissecting it in half, or cutting its head off." - Ryu replied, once again charging towards the Juggernaut, determined to stop it from killing anyone else, as she was then followed by an anxious Asfi who gave air support.

Meanwhile with Hestia and Hermes

"How much longer do we need to stay in this cave?" - Hestia asked, as she was starting to get inpatient with all of the sounds going on outside, as they were currently near the area where the Black Goliath was killed.

"Truly Hestia, I have no idea, all I know is that someone will come to get us when the danger outside has been dealt with." - Hermes replied in an attempt to sooth Hestia, which did indeed seem to work for a short moment if it wasn't for the flying forms of 2 of her 3 Familia Members who crashed into a giant boulder just outside of where the cave where they were hiding in is located.

Hestia, seeing her Familia members in danger, ran outside of the cave without any hesitation, causing Hermes to grunt in annoyance knowing how connected Hestia feels towards her Familia, especially since she is the Goddess of the Hearth. But after they reached them, Hestia began to examine the both of them to which Hermes spoke.

"You can doodle on them all you want when we go back inside of the cave, if you grab Lily, I will grab Welf and we will get them inside the cave with us." - Hermes said just loudly enough to hopefully not draw the attention of whatever did this to the 2 adventurers, as he knew that this was no longer a fun little game since the mortal lives of 2 deities are in danger. Hestia didn't waste any time and nodded in agreement as she was able to give the small form of Lily a piggy back along with Hermes doing the same for Welf, as they were able to quickly but quietly re-enter the cave that they were taking sanctuary in. As Hestia began to look over their injuries, only to get anxious as she noticed the varying lacerations on their bodies along with major bruising from the impact of colliding with that boulder, as she immediately turned to face Hermes, only to see him with a smug grin as he held out 2 high potions to which Hestia grabbed without even paying attention to the hurt look Hermes adorned after she so "rudely stole" his high magic stones, as she immediately forced the liquids down the throats of both Welf and Lily.

"You know a thank you would be nice." - Hermes said with a grin, causing Hestia to look at him dumbly.

"I appreciate the help and potions, so thanks. My question however is why in the name of Taurtarus are you carrying 2 Full potions on you in the first place?" - Hestia replied to his question as she then offered him a question of her own, to which he only smiled smugly.

"You never know when such things might come in handy." - Hermes replied joyfully as Hestia sweatdropped at his antics. However, their interaction came to a halt when Hestia heard Welf coughing.

"W-where am I?" - He said, looking around trying to collect himself.

"Relax Welf, you and Lily are safe now." - Hestia said to Welf, causing him to remember the situation of his Master, causing him to palm his face, confusing Hestia.

"What's wrong?"

"I am sorry Hestia… Yhw-Bell is no longer with us, he perished against that monster." - Welf said, causing Hermes to go wide eyed, as Hestia just gave him a confused look.

"What are you talking about Welf, Bell is still alive?" - Hestia told Welf, causing him to look at Hestia with a confused look.

"No he's not, I saw him die?"- Welf said, begging to question himself after seeing how serious Hestia looked.

"Oh he is very much alive, I can tell. After all, a god knows when one of their children dies since they will feel their Falna getting removed from their child since a Falna is automatically removed once an adventurer dies. But since I can tell that Bell still has his Falna, he is without a doubt still alive." - Hestia said, causing Welf to go wide eyed, as it just so happens that Lily woke up and heard the last part of what Hestia said.

"MASTER BELL IS ALIVE!" - Lily yelled, spooking Welf, Hermes, and Hestia. As Lily along with Welf immediately ran out of the cave to go find their captain, Hestia and Hermes not far behind, trying to stop them since that monster that put them in the state they were in before is still out there.

But after they stepped out of the cave and saw the sight of the prone and bloody form of Bell, they were then stopped by a sudden and massive amount of Spiritual pressure, so dense and large in quantity that it caused almost everyone and everything on the 18th floor to freeze in place, especially the Juggernaut which was where the Focus of the Spiritual Pressure was focused on. The Only ones who weren't affected were Hestia, Lily, Ryu, and Welf, as they seemed to be welcomed and encompassed in the power, causing them to have a sense of warmth and comfort, almost as if the energy was protecting them.

But after a brief moment, the prone form of Bell started to stand back up, his sword turning a fiery blue color, as a cloak of clear energy that was so dense that it looked white, coated his entire body without hindering his mobility and seemed to ooze off a fire like substance of energy, his pupils split into 3.

However, what was frightening was the amused laughter that came from Bell, causing the Juggernaut along with everyone else to shiver, as he then spoke in a tone that was a lot deeper than what his usual voice sounded like that seemed to be filled with raw power.

"It seems everything has gone according to plan." - Bell said, confusing all of the adventurers that were frozen in place, unable to either breath or move from the dominating presence Bell was exerting.

"Every single action and movement everyone has made thus far during this battle, was a part of my plan. As when I was forced into using The Almighty for the second time in the dungeon, I was able to see this whole ordeal play out." - Bell said, confusing Hermes, along with every adventurer except for Hestia, Welf, and Lily who knew exactly what this ability does, as they knew that all the events up until this point were planned out and manipulated by Bell to have the best outcome possible.

As after Bell finished his statement, he started to walk towards the Juggernaut, as each step he took caused a feeling of indescribable fear from the people that Bell does not view as his allies, most importantly however, each step he took towards the Juggernaut caused the Juggernaut to have a deep cut appear on its body. But after shaking out of it's fear, it reared back about to pounce at Bell, however, in an instant, Bell disappeared and reappeared behind the Juggernaut, facing away from it, causing everyone to go silent as the Juggernaut was frozen in place, but after a couple of seconds, the Juggernauts body vertically split in half in a gory mess.

But a moment later, the Juggernauts body re-connected, as a mask appeared on its face, as its body seemed to become an even darker shade of black that had a shadowy figure as all of its detached and injured limbs regrow. Causing Bell to go into a shocked state as he had not foreseen this outcome.

The Juggernaut, the last defensive mechanism of the Dungeon, had turned into a Hollow. What made Bell so afraid however, was that he was unable to see the Juggernaut in any of the possible futures, meaning that this new and improved Juggernaut had somehow bypassed his Almighty.

"Welf, Lily. I am gonna need some back up!" - Bell yelled, seeing that even though he could take down this stronger version of the Juggernaut, he believed that this would be a viable experience for his 2 Sternritters.

The 2 said Quincy didn't need to be told twice, as in a blur, they appeared on either side of Bell. This caused him to smile since he noticed that even though the 2 were afraid of this Jugger, no, Hollow, they followed his commands without question.

"I can sense the Spiritual pressure this monster is creating which resembles that of a Hollow, how was it created in the first place and where does it scale to as a Hollow?" - Lily quickly questioned, trying to get insight on the new foe the 3 Quincies now had to go against.

"I am guessing that the Juggernaut was able to somehow absorb some of the vast amounts of Spiritual Pressure that I was unleashing when I killed it, causing it to Hollowfy because of its nature as a monster. As for its power, if I were to guess, it would be at the level of a high tier Adjuchas based on its Reiatsu, but because of its nature as a Juggernaut giving it extraordinary killing capabilities and speed, it would be as hard to fight against as a high tier Vasto Lorde." - Bell said , causing the Sword that Welf was holding to shake in his hands because of his nervousness and the anticipation he had for this upcoming battle, Lily doing the same with her arm that held a Crossbow made out of Reishi.

As soon as Bell finished his explanation, the Juggernaut pounced in their direction as the 3 split apart and attacked from different angles, Lily from the top, Welf from the back and Bell from the front. Bell then immediately started to unleash the maximum amount of Reiatsu he had which was roughly 5 - 10%, as anymore would slow both Welf and Lily down which he could not afford to do when fighting against such a fast monster. Much to his surprise however, the Juggernaut was seemingly able to brush off his Spiritual Pressure as if it wasn't there, as it then charged up a green colored Cero in its mouth before firing it at Bell, as Bell then cut the Cero in half with his Reishi enhanced sword to which the Juggernaut seemed to Sonido behind Bell, causing his eyes to go wide in shock at both how quickly its movement was when its speed was mixed with Sonido but also at how fast and quickly it was learning new techniques that were exclusive to hollows.

The Juggernaut then tried to cleave Bell in half to which Lily stopped by shooting her Heilig Pfeil which was enough to redirect the trajectory of its attack, but much to her surprise, her arrow didn't do anything, meaning that the Hierro that the Juggernaut was using was strong enough to block her full power Heilig Pfeils without infusing her arrows with her Schrift.

Welf then took this opportunity to lunge at the Juggernaut in an attempt to cut off its arm, as the Juggernaut then swiped its tail at Welf, as he was saved by Bell who was able to deflect its tail. Bell then grabbed Welf by the wrist and then threw him into the air above the Juggernaut.

"Burner Finger 2!" - Welf yelled, as from both both his pointer and ring fingers an arc of Flames were created which was sent soaring through the air before seeming to collide with the Juggernaut, causing a relatively large explosion that shook the surrounding area and also caused a small cloud of smoke to form, but after a moment, the Juggernaut leaped out of the smoke directly towards Welf, as he was barely able to dodge with the use of his Hirenkyaku. As a pillar of lightning appeared above the Juggernaut, courtesy of Lily, as it simply dodged by Sonidoing away and directly above Lily, trying to cleve her in half with its claws, as Bell seemed to appear in front of its attack to parry it, as Lily took this opportunity to quickly create a Heilig Pfeil mixed with her Schrift before quickly shooting it at the Juggernaut as it connected with its shoulder which caused it to be electrocuted for a brief moment as the arrow was able to pierce it.

But even though all that power was put behind it, the wound isn't very deep, as the only reaction the Juggernaut had to this was by letting out a loud screech, as in a sudden burst of strength, overpowered Bell and caused both him and Lily to get sent flying away and into the floor of the dungeon which created a crater. As it then quickly charged a more condensed Cero before firing it at the 2, to which Bell responded by using one of his strongest defensive techniques.

"Blut Vene Anhaben." - Bell said, as a forcefield surrounded both him and Lily that was absorbing the surrounding Reishi to both make sustain it and make it stronger, as this caused the Cero to dissipate as soon as it came into contact with it, but when the Cero was finished firing, the forcefield dissipated into thin air.

Bell then used Hirenkyaku to rush at the Juggernaut, dodging the on oncoming strikes the Juggernaut was attempting as he charge, and in a show of strength, he grabbed the Juggernaut by the tail and launched it towards Welf who had infused his sword with his Schrift, causing it to becoming red from the heat, as he then sliced through the Juggernauts side, leaving a cauterized cut on the side of the Monster as it let out a scream of both anger and pain.

The Juggernaut then snapped its tail towards Welf in a way that could be similar to a whip, as Bell stopped it by catching its tail which, unfortunately for him, caused his ribs to fracture. But he had no choice but to clench his teeth and endure the pain, as he then slammed it over his shoulder and into the ground, stunning it as he then threw it up into the air to which its form was intercepted by Welf who tried to cut its head off. But the Juggernaut wasn't having any of it, as it then snapped its head towards Welf and snapped its maw on him, lodging Welf inside of its crushing jaws as it bit down. Thankfully Welf was able to activate Blute Vene in time and was able to prevent its jaws from biting him in half, unfortunately, it still did some damage as each of its teeth that was on Welf were able to pierce through his Blut by half an inch.

Lily then used Hirenkyaku and with her shortsword, cut the point where the Juggernauts jaw was connected with its skull, forcing its jaw to fly open which released Welf.

"Burner Finger 3!" - Welf yelled, as he touched the Juggernauts lower jaw with 3 of his fingers, causing it's jaw to melt at a rapid pace which caused it to let out a scream in pain, as it was able to use the back of its front arm to backhand Welf away, causing him to spit out saliva as 1 of his ribs broke as the air was also knocked out of him, as he was then sent flying towards the ground to which Bell caught him before steadying him.

"Can you keep fighting Welf?" - Bell asked concerned for his safety, to which Welf replied by giving him a bloody smile.

"Don't worry about me captain, just focus on killing this Hollowfied Juggernaut." - Welf said, as Welf and Bell re-engaged the Juggernaut which at the time was being distracted by Lily.

As the 3 familia members continued to use their near flawless teamwork to slowly chip away at the Juggernauts defenses, not without taking on a few injuries themselves.

But what was truly amazing however, was that all of this happened within a span 10 seconds, as the high level 3 adventurers were able to see the forms of the 4 combatants when they were in direct contact, only the 2 level 4 adventurers were able to see the 4 combatants blurry figures as they seemed to move at unheard of speeds.

"Th-this is insane!", "What type of monsters are they?", "I can't even see them, it looks like they are teleporting from 1 place to another!" - Were some of the things that the adventurers said, as they tried their best to follow what was happening.

Ryu, Asfi, Ouka, Chigusa, Mikoto, Hermes, and Hestia were currently having a conversation that was separate from the other adventurers.

"This is just insanity! How are they able to keep up and fight that thing!" - Ouka yelled in a rare moment of shock, as he was unable to comprehend how those 3 adventurers that were a lower level then himself were able to fight against such a monster.

"Even I am having trouble following what is happening, all I am seeing are blurs." - Asfi said in bewilderment on how these level 2 adventurers were so fast and strong, Ryu giving a silent nod of agreement as she was in the same boat as Asfi.

"It's like I am watching the heroes of old in combat." - Hermes said to himself, as he had a sudden idea on why they are so strong.

'The Hestia Familia isn't the type of Familia to lie about what level their adventurers are, but that doesn't make any sense, the amount of technique, prowess, and skill Welf and Lily are using could only be rivaled by first class, Bell's skill however could be compared to that of a demigod, possibly even a god. Could he be the reason why Welf and Lily are so strong even though they are level 2? If I remember correctly, when I got Zeus drunk, he did say that Bell has some odd abilities that can help others grow stronger then what should normally be possible at that level…' - Hermes thought silently, reminiscing on how much Zeus understated Bell's strength, ability, and prowess.

However, he was knocked from his thoughts when he heard a yell from Bell.

"Blut Vene Anhaben'' - He yelled, causing a light tinted blow orb of energy to encase the surrounding are with Bell being at the center, causing the similar pattern of the Blut Vene to appear on the floor, as it perfectly the Cero that was directed at him, courtesy of the Juggernaut. But as the energy field dissipated, The Juggernaut then used Sonido to flash in front of Bell in an attempt to pierce him with its claws, only for Welf to intercept it and block its attack, preventing Bell from getting impaled.

Bell then used Hirenkyaku to appear next to Lily, as he wordlessly offered her a foot hold with his hands, as she used this to propel herself at blinding speeds towards the Juggernaut, as she cut Its hollow mask in half, as the 2 halves started to dissipate, but much to the shock of the 3 adventurers, the Juggernaut simply regenerated its mask which should have been impossible since when a Hollows mask is completely destroyed, it always results in that said hollows death., and even more so when it is done by a Quincy.

But in the next instant, the Juggernaut swiped its claw at the shocked form of Lily, causing her to activate her Blut, blunting the impact, as she was sent flying into Welf as the 2 were sent flying. Thankfully, they were slowed down to a stop thanks to Bell.

"I thought a Hollow dies whenever its mask gets cut in half or destroyed?" - Lily asked with unsteady breaths, as she was starting to get tired.

"That would normally be the case, and since you're a Quincy, the very essence of the Hollow should have been destroyed when you destroyed its mask, so why…" - Bell said before coming to a conclusion on how he could beat this Juggernaut.

"On second thought, we just need to destroy this thing's body so completely, that there is nothing left for it to regenerate from." - Bell said, causing Welf and Lily to give him a skeptical look, as they ultimately decided to follow their king, even if it risked their lives. But deep down in the depths of their very beings and ideals, they knew that neither of them would die as long as their captain drew breath.

As they then wordlessly used Hirenkyaku, ending their short discussion, as they're-engaged the Juggernaut, trading blow after blow, as all of the people watching were in awe on the battle that only 3 level 2 adventurers were partaking in, Hermes having the biggest reaction as at some point, he has moved to be on top of a cliff a large distance away, giving him an even greater view of the fight.

"When you said that this boy had a lot of potential, I didn't think you meant this much potential, Zeus. He truly is your grandson, I know that he will be the best hero of this generation of adventurers and heroes." - Hermes yelled which wasn't heard by anyone because of his distance away from them, as well as because of how hyper focused they were on the ensuing battle. He however, was then snapped out of his little rant by the sound of a massive thunderbolt, as he saw a massive lightning bolt strike the Juggernaut which was in the air.

This was caused by Lily, as she poured all the power she had in that lightning bolt, as it caused the entire form of the Juggernaut to spasm at a rapid pace. But as soon as the lightning bolt ended, the Juggernaut charred form could be seen, however, it then used Sonido to get behind Lily as it launched a point blank Cero at her back as she was able to use Blut Vene in time. However, the Cero was too much for her to handle with the amount of spiritual power she has left, causing it to still greatly burn Lily as it sent her flying threw trees until she eventually crashed against the wall of the dungeon, causing her to go unconscious as the beating she has taken and the power she used was just too much for her body to handle.

But not a moment later, Welf appeared next to the Juggernaut with the use of his Hirenkyaku.

"Burning Full Fingers!" - Welf yelled, as he pointed his hand towards the Juggernaut whilst using as much power he could muster, as a torrent of burning hot flames that was shaped in a cone was sent flying towards the Juggernaut at point blank range, but when the Juggernaut noticed this, it tried to dodge. However, because of the close proximity, it was unable to fully dodge the attack, causing its legs to get burned off completely because of the flames' heat, resulting in a screech of agony coming from the Juggernaut.

But much like it had done with Lily, it used it's last remaining limb, its tail, to swipe at Welf, as he was barely able to block it with his arms which were being enforced by his Blut, but because of the sheer force of the attack, it sent Welf flying away, as he was sent flying through a boulder before rolling to a stop, battered and exhausted.

As everyone on the 18th floor watched this entire scene play out, they couldn't help but feel dread, as they just watched 2 of the 3 adventurers fighting the monster which had later evolved into something even more terrifying and powerful, get put out of the fight seemingly in an instant.

Others however, such as the level 3's and 2 level 4's, saw this as an opportunity since they realized that the Juggernaut had been immobilized since its legs had been cut off. But before anyone could try to land the finishing blow on it, they heard the sound of a Bell ringing at an extremely fast pace, getting louder and deeper with each passing moment. Welf however, in his battered form, only seemed to smile.

Everyone's attention however, was then drawn toward the giant arc of blue energy in the sky, as an arrow the size of a broadsword formed, as it then got launched straight toward the ground, only to be seized by the person who summoned it.

"Sankt Bogen" - Bell said, wielding his Reishi infused sword in one hand with the Sankt Bogen in the other, as the energy he had been building up thanks to the distraction that Welf and Lily caused, had started to get infused into the 2 weapons.

"What's he doing?" - Hermes asked, confused on what was happening, only for Hestia's eyes to widen a moment later.

"Is he going to-" - Hestia tried to say, but was interrupted by Bell, who after infusing his 2 blades with a fully quick charged Argonaut, prepared for an attack, as he let out a scream.

"GETSUGA JUJISHO!" - Bell yelled, causing 2 massive arcs of flames to go passing through the sky directly towards the Juggernaut which couldn't move or avoid the attack because of its missing limbs.

"EVERYONE, GET DOWN NOW!" - Hestia yelled at the top of her lungs, as she, along with everyone else inside of the 18th floor immediately hit the deck.

As the arcs of flames which was in the shape of a cross came into contact with the Juggernaut, it sliced through its Hierro with no difficulty at all, as it then began to pass through the rest of the Juggernaut, causing it to split into 4 different pieces. As in the next moment, the attack and Juggernaut exploded, causing a massive gust of wind to get sent flying throughout the entire 18th floor, causing several trees to uproot in the process.

But after a few seconds, the explosion died down, leaving no trace of the Juggernaut turned hollow.

The Juggernaut who after being killed, had turned into a mix of a Hollow and Juggernaut that seemed to be an anomaly to time itself since Bell's Almighty was ineffective against it, hadn't just been killed, but had been completely obliterated by Bell's attack, the Getsuga JuJisho.

A/N - I apologize for the slow updates, I would just like to note that I will be trying my best to post new chapters a bit faster, thank you all for reading and supporting my story.
