The True Face of God's Assassin

Just as the clansmen rushed to the entrance of the Dungeon to provide assistance.

The Hestia Familia, far away in the Great Tree Sea, has finally arrived before the final boss and is about to face its last battle!

Inside a circular room consisting of a huge hollow.

The true appearance of the ancient monster, the Calamity Scorpion Andariel, was now revealed to everyone.

The room was filled with disgusting dark green pipes that grew and branched like tree branches. The pipes were constantly writhing and covered with dark leech-like patterns. The countless pipes crisscrossed, as if they wanted to parasitize the entire ruins.

At the intersection of these pipes, on the central round platform of the hall, a huge, jet-black scorpion lay in the middle, its body covered with patterns as dazzling as red warning lights.

Its size was enormous, estimated to be over ten meters tall. From a distance, it looked like a small mountain standing there, with its thick tail held high in the air like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky.

Beside its body grew many legs with ferocious pincers, scattered and intertwined, making it look particularly distorted.

Directly in front of him were two enormous pincers, larger than a person, that inspired awe and fear in anyone who saw them.

This is Andariel, the Calamity Scorpion, a god-slaying beast from ancient times, existing only in historical legends.

Such a ferocious appearance and immense power can create a strong sense of oppression even from such a distance.

"Aryyyyyyyyyy——!"

Upon seeing the group appear, Andariel's crimson eye flashed with a Bloodthirst light, and a piercing hiss came from his mouth as he glared at the women.

Upon seeing this, all the goddesses were startled and immediately became vigilant, looking solemnly at Andariel, ready to fight at any moment.

The scene became extremely tense!

However, this tension only applies to the two sides in the standoff. It has no effect on the two bystanders who are watching the show from behind the crowd, because they are not afraid at all!

(Wu Tong, Sixth Order Ancient God: Andariel? Just a little scorpion, nothing to worry about!)

Hestia shields Wu Tong in front of her (a version of "borrowing power from a tiger"): That's right, just an ancient monster. It's nothing to Wu Tong!

At this moment, Wu Tong, one of the two onlookers, was hiding behind the crowd, turning his gaze with great interest to Andariel not far away.

I've only ever seen Andariel in anime before, and I've never actually seen what it looks like in the real world. For a traveler, it would be a real shame not to take a good look at it.

And so, with a curious gaze, Wu Tong briefly shifted his attention, which had been focused on the beautiful woman, to Andariel.

However, after seeing Andariel's true appearance, Wu Tong immediately regretted his sudden curiosity!

Wu Tong curled his lip and cursed under his breath:

"Tsk, it's really ugly. I kind of regret coming along!"

"Hmm... it really is ugly!"

Hestia, who was eating a melon nearby, nodded in agreement when she saw Andariel.

However, he then looked down at the melon in his hand, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Ugh... what should I do? I feel nauseous and can't eat anymore!"

Wu Tong glanced at Hestia's pained expression, his lips twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter:

"Are you Paimon? Eat less! This place smells so bad, I really don't know how you can eat?"

Although the Temple was large, there were very few people inside. In addition, everyone except the two bystanders was currently confronting Andariel, so the Temple was unusually quiet.

In this context, the voices of Wu Tong and Hestia stood out as particularly abrupt. Even though their voices were soft, they were still clearly heard by everyone present.

Naturally, this also included Andariel's ears, who was currently confronting the Hestia Familia.

As an ancient monster, Andariel may not be able to speak, but his Wisdom is no different from that of ordinary humans.

This means that Andariel truly heard and heard the "insults" from Wu Tong and Hestia.

"Aryyyyyyyy——"

As expected, Andariel let out another roar.

This roar, however, contained an anger that everyone could sense.

Andariel: (╬`)...

It knows it's not good-looking, but you can't say it out loud!

Sometimes the truth hurts more than a lie. Do you know how much psychological trauma this truth has caused him?

Even an ancient monster like it has its pride!

"Oh? Are you angry? It's just a fact, can't I even say it if I'm ugly?"

Watching Andariel brandish his scorpion pincers and tail, expressing his anger, Wu Tong paid no attention. Instead, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

It's just a little scorpion, how dare it give me attitude? If I don't shut it up, it'll forget who it is!

Wu Tong had no intention of indulging Andariel. He came to this world with the intention of having fun, and if he was going to have fun, he would do it to the fullest, unleash his true nature, and play without restraint.

If Wu Tong can remain unmoved in the face of this scorpion's provocation, then how can he have fun when he's in a bad mood?

As the God's Assassin, Andariel possesses an extraordinary sensitivity to divine power. In his perception, although the divine power emanating from Wu Tong is different from that of the gods of the past, there is no doubt that... he is a god!

"Aryyyyy——"

Having realized this, Andariel was immediately enraged when he heard Wu Tong's second sarcastic remark:

You're just a god who sealed away divine power and chose to descend to the mortal realm. Who gave you the audacity to mock me again and again? If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll probably think my title of God's Assassin is just air, won't you?

Anger breeds murderous intent!

Seeing the mocking smile on Wu Tong's lips, Andariel launched an attack without saying a word.

The patterns on its body, resembling red warning lights, suddenly lit up, flashing and radiating a dazzling light like breathing.

As the light shone, everyone present could clearly see the visible energy in the air rushing madly into Andariel's body.

Following the patterns, the energy flowed and converged, then condensed at its mouth into a gradually growing red energy ball, wreathed in black and purple lightning, radiating terrifying and violent energy.

"Oh no! Andariel is about to attack! Rikka, quick, use your magic to wipe out this attack!"

Upon seeing this scene and feeling the surging, violent energy within the energy blast, Shizuka Hiratsuka's pupils constricted sharply, and she immediately shouted at Rikka Takanashi beside her.

As the three Level 5 Hestia Familia, Rikka Takanashi, Shizuka Hiratsuka, Hitori Gotō had already developed sufficient teamwork through hundreds of battles.

Therefore, as soon as Shizuka Hiratsuka uttered her words, Rikka Takanashi, having received the order, subconsciously activated her magic:

"Explode, reality!"

"Crush it, spirit!"

Vanish! This world!

"Magic Activation: Evil King's True Eye!"

As Rikka Takanashi's magical chanting began.

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from her right eye.

In an instant, countless golden Light Particles appeared out of thin air, connecting, outlining, depicting, and solidifying in mid-air...

Then came a series of magic circles. They lit up around her, moved, overlapped, and finally converged into a golden, illusory world.

Evil King's True Eye - Fantasy Materialization Domain!

Condensed!

"Interesting..."

As the instigator of everything, Wu Tong paid no attention to Andariel's charged attack, but instead took a keen look at the illusory world in front of him.

"Fantasy Erosion reality... It's a bit like the Reality Marble in the Type-Moon World, or the Game Domain in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Ex!"

"Reality Marble? Game Domain?"

Hestia scratched her head. Having not yet watched either of the two shows, she didn't understand what Wu Tong meant, but she still memorized the names of the two worlds and planned to watch them properly in a while.

Wu Tong didn't notice Hestia's confusion. After sighing, he turned to look at the girl standing in the center of the crowd, radiating a soft light, like a Saintess — Rikka Takanashi.

I couldn't help but look forward to what the other person would do next.

Wu Tong: With such a big fuss, the battle that follows is sure to be exciting. (Watching the drama unfold. jpg)

However, what happened next disappointed Wu Tong.

With the ability to materialize fantasy, Andariel's energy blast had absolutely no ability to bounce.

Rikka Takanashi simply snapped her fingers, and the energy blast that Andariel was gathering in his mouth vanished as if it had never existed.

"???"

Looking at this completely unwatchable scene, Wu Tong couldn't help but have a row of question marks pop up above his head.

"Illusion materialization?"

As an ancient god, Wu Tong wields the Truth Authority, the Reality and Illusion Authority, the Causality and Fate Authority, and many other Authority that possess the ability to transform the false into the real and to materialize illusions.

Therefore, the abilities displayed by Rikka Takanashi are not unfamiliar to them.

What he didn't expect was that Rikka Takanashi would have this ability.

Upon learning about Rikka Takanashi's magical abilities, Wu Tong immediately lost interest in what was about to happen.

After all, they've even managed to materialize illusions, so what suspense is there left in the upcoming battle?

He didn't believe that a mere Andariel could defy the laws governing the power of illusion manifestation.

While Wu Tong was pondering this, the battlefield environment was also undergoing Feng Yun changes.

Andariel was completely dumbfounded when he felt the energy blast that was gathering in his mouth suddenly disappear.

Andariel waved his pincers and tail with a bewildered look in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it was real!

"A great opportunity!"

This was a golden opportunity, and Shizuka Hiratsuka certainly wouldn't let it slip by.

He transformed back into Saiyan and charged forward with his fists clenched.

Compared to using weapons, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who is already used to the invincible boost that [Iron Fist Invincible] brings her, prefers to use her fists to fight her enemies.

Of course, even without this magic, she would still prefer to fight with her fists (approval from the Iron Fist Teacher).

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

With the force of Mount Tai and the speed of lightning, a punch was unleashed!

As five deafening sounds rang out, five Mach rings exploded in the air.

Shizuka Hiratsuka used all her strength to throw a punch aimed at Andariel's head.

Like the Grim Life Reap's scythe, precise and deadly, it was poised to eliminate this ancient monster once and for all.

However, while Shizuka Hiratsuka is very fast, Andariel's speed is not to be underestimated.

Its innate sense of danger, characteristic of wild animals, allowed it to react instinctively even when it was distracted.

However, because Shizuka Hiratsuka was too fast, by the time it tried to dodge, it was already too late. No matter how hard it tried to dodge, Shizuka Hiratsuka's attack would still land on it.

Seeing this, Andariel had no choice but to bend down and protect his own head as much as possible.

Its nature as an ancient monster gives it an extremely high degree of immortality; as long as its head and heart are not destroyed, it will not die.

Although it might seem a bit cowardly to do this, Andariel could clearly sense the power contained in Shizuka Hiratsuka's fist from those five sonic booms.

To put it bluntly, given that it has not yet broken free of its seal, if Shizuka Hiratsuka were to strike it on the head, it would be killed instantly.

So forget about whether it's humiliating or not, the most important thing is to survive!

With this thought in mind, Andariel, without a shred of dignity, bent his knees and his massive body moved forward a few centimeters.

Although this distance may seem insignificant, a slight difference can lead to a huge difference. It was this mere few centimeters that caused Shizuka Hiratsuka to change the location of her attack from her head to her back and abdomen.

"Rikka!"

Seeing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka and simply called out Rikka Takanashi's name loudly.

"Clear!"

Rikka Takanashi smiled and snapped her fingers again.

Snap...

As the snap of the fingers fell.

A portal immediately appeared in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka.

On the other side of the door was Andariel's menacing scorpion head.

The Fantasy Materialization Domain.

In this field, Rikka Takanashi is a god!

Let alone opening a portal, even destroying Andariel wouldn't be a problem.

Andariel:...

Andariel: No, they're cheating! Group fights are one thing, but now they're openly cheating!

Andariel: What about management? What about planning? Aren't you going to do anything about it?
