Volume 4 Chapter 186 – Saved

Athena’s eyes shook when the man who supposedly dead suddenly appeared out of nowhere, ‘How did that guy come in here? I just strengthened the space’s restriction so other gods couldn’t see or enter this place…’

“Who are you?” Athena asks in a threatening tone.

Kisuke faced her and replied, “Just some random human trying to recruit a maid~.”

Athena didn’t take his nonsense and raised her hand towards him. A yellow magic circle appeared and shoots out a spear of golden light.

Seeing this, Medusa reacted, “No!” And tried to shield Kisuke with her body, but she was not able to move due to the chains restraining her, “No!”

“Geez~. Don’t move. You’ll only hurt yourself.” Kisuke turned back to Medusa without minding the incoming projectile. In an instant, the golden spear reached him, but even without looking, Kisuke slapped it away using his left hand. The spear’s trajectory was altered and it hit the northern part of the colosseum, completely obliterating it.

Athena’s pupils shrank in shock but didn’t make any further move to gather more information.

Kisuke inspected the dumbfounded Medusa for a bit before nodding to himself, “Good… It’s not as dire as I expected.” He then turned his attention towards the remaining members of the Perseus Clan, “I’ll have you lot retire for now~.”

Kisuke released his pressure which shocked Athena even more and promptly increased her vigilance against him. The main target of the pressure, the Perseus Clan, all lost their consciousness.

“…Who are you?” For the second time, Athena asked.

“Just like I said, I’m just a random human trying to recruit a maid~.”

“Bullsh*t! What do you want? Just so you know, you invaded a goddess’ private space.”

Kisuke ignored her question and raised his right arm, “This is going to hurt for a bit, but trust me… this is going to free you~.”

Kisuke stabbed his right arm towards Medusa’s wound where the chains are coming from, “Gahh!”

The snake tattoo that he got from Ophis suddenly became alive and using Kisuke’s Reiatsu-Ki, it drilled its way towards Medusa’s inner world, “Ahhhh!!!”

Half of Kisuke’s consciousness arrives at Medusa’s inner world, the Shapeless Isle. Contrary to the scenery when Medusa first arrive here a few days ago, the sky is now crimson red while the sea is blood red. The raging waves are trying to drown the whole island but there is a small protective film around the island that protects it from the sea. Kisuke only stopped for a moment because Benihime reacted to this bloody world. He leaped to reach the middle of the island where the are two little girls with the same face and purple hair gritting their teeth as they use their aura to keep the creepy chains from approaching.

The little girls are protecting the floating orb which is already mostly dark red with only some of it tinted gold which is in between them. The chains are only surrounding them but every few seconds, it’ll inch closer.

Seeing the situation, Kisuke manifested Behinime in her Shikai form, “Kamisori, Benihime (Razor, Crimson Princess).” With a sword swing, Benihime fired off a crimson energy arc which cut through the chains allowing the little girls to gain some standing.

Kisuke used Flash Step to arrive beside them. The moment he entered, however, the chains recovered and trapped him inside.

“Who are you!?” The little girls simultaneous asked.

“That’s not important right now. What’s important is that I’m here to help.”

The little girls gave him a suspicious look.

“You have no choice but to accept my help. And even if I’m planning something nasty, you’re doomed either way with the way things are going.”

The little girls crumpled their cute faces but after a moment, they eased their aura around Kisuke and focused on the chains, “Please help our little sister…” They both muttered.

“Got it~.” Kisuke put away Benihime and approached the floating dark red orb with some golden tint. He examined it for a bit before putting his right arm forward and aimed it to the orb. The snake tattoo became alive again and shoot out from his arm towards the orb coiled around it. Kisuke touched the orb but it burned him with dark red flame.

Although the burning sensation is intense, Kisuke didn’t remove his hand and sent his Reiatsu-Ki to control the snake. The black snake then started consuming the dark red bits of the orb while the golden tint started to shine brightly. Kisuke controlled the snake so that it would strengthen the remaining Divinity while it eats the corrupted parts as fuel, ‘How convenient… It’s really a good thing that Ophis arrive. If I’m just me alone, it couldn’t go this smoothly.’

Kisuke kept staring at the changes the orb is going through. A few seconds later, it’s size decreased by half but the golden area of the orb started to expand, ‘But this isn’t going as I expected… If I can’t strengthen the orb further, it’ll only collapse after the snake consumes every dirty bit… No choice then… I would have to use my own energy reserves. I hope I still have enough to fight that goddess.’

When there is only a bit left of the corruption, Kisuke stopped, ‘This corruption is probably Athena’s curse, but it isn’t exactly detrimental for Medusa. If she can control this, it’ll be a big boost to her abilities, so I should leave a bit of it here.’

The snake returned to his arm and faced the dumbfounded little girls, “Y-you really did it?” Said the little girl on the right.

“Heh~. It’s nothing much. Let’s deal with those creepy chains first.”

“Y-you can also take care of these!?” The little girl on the left side asked dumbfounded. Their shock is understandable because they knew how nasty and durable these creepy chains are for having to deal with it for countless years already. So someone claiming that he could deal with the chains sounds like a fantasy story to them.

Ignoring their reactions, Kisuke puts forward his right arm again, and the snake shoots out towards the chains as he commands. The snake started consuming the chains in great relish. The chains are being converted into pure energy inside the snake’s stomach, the energy that Ophis uses.

Kisuke already predicted that the snake would become saturated and won’t be able to eat anymore, but he only needed the connection between Medusa’s soul and the chains to be severed so he controlled it to eat only those points which he found.

And just as he expected, the snake became bloated and couldn’t eat anymore, but the chains’ connection to Medusa was weakened severely that he could now pull it out from her, “Well then, little girls. I have to return to pull this nasty thing out. Be sure to rest since I don’t my future maid worrying about the state of the two of you that she won’t be able to work effectively~.”

Without waiting for their reply, Kisuke’s consciousness became whole again on the surface. He left half of his consciousness to defend against Athena, but surprisingly, she’s only watching curiously, ‘Hehehe… So you’re that confident with your chains? Too bad, it’s me~.’

With his arms still embedded inside Medusa’s stomach who kept screaming and crying in intense pain due to the forceful changes to her Divine Core.

Kisuke’s expression turned serious and used a bit of his strength to pull out his hand, “Ahhh!!!”

In his hand is the root of the chains, a dark red orb pulsing an ominous light. Attached to it is the 9 chains that started coiling around Kisuke.

“WHAT!!!?” Athena yelled out loud not believing the sight in front of her, “How did you do that!!!?” After placing it to Medusa, even Athena couldn’t pull those chains out, so her shock is understandable. She also guessed that Kisuke wanted to remove the chains and didn’t do anything, but the result instead gave her the shock of her life.

Kisuke looked at the orb in his right hand that is now trying to attach to his soul, ‘So it acts as a parasite…’ He lifted his left hand and pointed his index finger at it. On the tip of the finger, a ball of destructive energy started to charge and after a few seconds, Kisuke muttered, “Cero.”

The ball of destructive energy turned into a green beam and annihilated the orb in its entirety. The chains attached to it started disintegrating until it was reduced to dust disappearing from this world forever, “Impossible!!!? That’s a soul matter! How did you destroy it instantly!?”

Due to the unexpected burden of nourishing her Divine Core and removing the chains from her soul, Kisuke’s Hollowfication was dispelled and his mask disintegrated, revealing his true face, ‘Good thing I put those guys to sleep first. Now I only have to deal with this Athena.’

Kisuke still ignored Athena and looked back to Medusa who already stopped screaming but was about to lose consciousness, “…Ki…su…ke?”

“Yep~. It’s me. You can rest now.” Kisuke replied with a gentle smile on his face.

“…” Medusa’s eyes are already hazy and her mind isn’t running correctly. She subconsciously reached out to Kisuke with both of her arms and wrapped it around his neck. Kisuke thought that she can’t see him properly and just let her be. But she did next shocked Kisuke.

Medusa planted her lips on his.
