Ever since she was cast into the Pleasure District of Orario, the fox-eared girl's only solace was books. She especially loved reading heroic tales like the Labyrinth Sacred Heroic Saga. Like any young girl with dreams of romance, she had fantasized countless times about a handsome and powerful young hero descending from the heavens to take her hand and rescue her from this filthy abyss.
However, she was well aware that in reality, the chances of such a thing happening were almost zero. Fate was cruel. She was neither a noble princess from a story nor a pure and fragile saintess. Her status was lowly, and such fantasies were merely a way to comfort herself in her painful life.
Even after witnessing the god-slaying feat of that boy who was mightier than the gods themselves on the sky screen, she never dared to imagine that one day, he would save her from the Ishtar Familia.
"Haruhime, don't you know… you are actually still a virgin?" Yuto chuckled at her tearful and aggrieved expression. This simple-minded fox-eared girl probably didn't know that every time she fainted from nervousness, it was Aisha Belka from her clan who arranged for other Amazoness sisters to take her place.
Even though the boy's words had touched her heart, her deep-seated inferiority complex prevented her from grasping this newfound hope.
"Huh? What did you say?!" The adorable fox-eared girl looked at his handsome face in confusion, scratching her head.
It wasn't until Yuto explained that she suddenly understood, blushing and lowering her head.
"So, now, entrust yourself to me. I will let you witness the downfall of this den of vice with your own eyes."
Yuto smiled and stroked her soft fox ears.
"Ah!" The boy's warm hand on her most sensitive spot made the fox-eared girl let out a shy whimper. Her fluffy tail stood up, and her watery eyes misted over with ambiguity.
"Although I can't reveal my true identity for now, disguising myself with divine power is quite easy."
As his vast solar divine power poured out, in the next moment, both Yuto and the fox-eared girl's appearances changed.
"Oh, this is…?!" Sanjouno Haruhime, who had been shyly nestled in the boy's warm embrace, couldn't help but curiously examine her new appearance. In the blink of an eye, she had transformed into a small, petite figure. How did this mysterious young hero do it?
Remembering his heroic deeds, the fox-eared girl suddenly felt a strong sense of trust.
"I believe in Lord Yuto. I believe he can take me away from this quagmire!"
"Then, the slaughter begins!" Yuto chuckled lightly.
In an instant, he took the girl and soared into the sky.
Looking down at the brilliantly lit streets below, filled with countless corrupt desires, his face was filled with manic killing intent.
"O night, become my armor!"
"The fallen Apollo, like the darkness of the night behold the abyss of the raging god! I am the sole king of darkness at this moment!"
"Born from the light in the darkness, as beautiful as the radiance of Lycaeus, grant me mighty strength!"
As the power of his spirit words continued to release, in the next moment, the entire red-light district underwent a dramatic change!
In an instant, the atmosphere erupted with a terrifying explosion that shook the heavens. Countless solar arrows tainted with dark power descended like divine punishment, engulfing the entire red-light district.
That was the entire street where the Ishtar Familia resided! Though called a district, it actually consisted of many avenues, with a vast goddess palace at the center. Even in the immense Orario, it occupied a significant area.
Boom!!
Accompanied by deafening roars, even people several streets away from the Ishtar Familia could hear the earth-shattering noise. The ground trembled as if countless earth dragons were turning over, causing the entire district to shake violently.
"The Golden Sword of the Sun God!"
Yuto watched indifferently as the people below were blasted into pulp by the aerial arrows, running and screaming in the ruins.
With the summoning of his divine equipment, the Golden Sword, imbued with the power of light and the sun, was casually swung down by him.
Of course, to avoid leaving clues for the gods afterward, he didn't use the two divine powers but relied solely on the pure might of the Sun God's sword to create such a terrifying scene.
Swish!
An invisible wave passed through, making the surrounding space seem to solidify like gelatin, even the slash slowed down.
But in reality, in the next moment, a terrifying sword mark, stretching across the sky and impossible to measure with the naked eye, formed a massive white scar in the air, indiscriminately striking everyone below!
The stars in the sky seemed to hide in fear, and all creation was shattered in the resulting turbulence.
"Ahhhhhh!!"
"Help!!!"
The sound of objects breaking, people crying, and buildings collapsing echoed even miles away, clearly audible to those on the other side of the city, who looked over in terror.
Under that irresistible divine might, the houses, streets, and even the city walls crumbled like paper, emitting despairing wails.
"This, this… how is this possible?"
Sanjouno Haruhime, nestled in the boy's embrace, stared in disbelief at the apocalyptic scene, her well-developed body trembling uncontrollably, her fluffy tail standing on end.
"Do you like it? This is my gift to you."
Yuto stroked her erect beast ears, smiling gently.
But to the fox-eared girl, that smile sent a chill down her spine, realizing she had unleashed a fierce and tyrannical demon king.
"It's not over yet."
His cold voice had barely sounded in the air when, in the next moment, his figure vanished from the spot.
With a kick, he burst open the gates of the Ishtar Familia's temple and strode in boldly, looking at the goddess high on her throne, her face filled with fear, and sneered contemptuously.
"Who… who are you?!"
Ishtar couldn't help but feel afraid. The power displayed by this mysterious man was too terrifying. Such strength… was undoubtedly that of a god. Even at her peak, she wouldn't have confidence facing such a powerhouse, let alone now, with her divine power sealed.
"Lady Ishtar, I'll protect you!!!"
At that moment, from behind the proud goddess, a woman as large and ugly as a toad suddenly charged out. This Level 5 Phryne Jamil was the strongest in the Ishtar Familia. Though her appearance was abstractly hideous, her strength ranked among the top adventurers in many Familias.
Fat and ugly, Phryne roared like a berserk beast, charging at Yuto with a sharp whistling sound, like a meteor crashing down, unleashing astonishing kinetic energy.
She shattered the ground, kicking up violent dust and shockwaves.
Facing this seemingly ferocious attack, Yuto didn't bother to look, lazily raising his hand and patting her head.
Boom!
With a crisp sound, Phryne's entire head was smashed into her chest cavity.
Then, her body was punched into the ground by Yuto.
Crack, crack!
The temple floor was pierced, and the massive female monster fell into a bottomless pit, leaving a deep crater.
"Ishtar, it's time to send you on your way."
Yuto advanced indifferently.
The Golden Sword in his hand finally shed its restraint, radiating its brilliant light.
The scorching and domineering solar divine power swept the field, creating waves of heat as if they were in a volcano, the intense heat akin to the sun descending upon the earth.
"Such power? You are… Apollo?!"
Ishtar, being a goddess, though weak among the gods, still had some insight into divine power. She recognized the solar divine power Yuto wielded.
"Wait, isn't Apollo dead?" she murmured in disbelief. Suddenly, as if realizing something, she jerked her head up, staring at Yuto's face. "I know who you are!"
"You're Yuto?! It's unbelievable that a mortal could gain a god's power by slaying one!"
"We were all deceived! You despicable human, daring to scheme and assassinate my kin?!"
Ishtar screamed hysterically, consumed by rage.
"It's too late to realize now."
Yuto's lips curled into a smile that terrified Ishtar.
Raising the Golden Sword, he slowly approached her.
"You shouldn't have treated humans as your plaything."
"No!!"
Ishtar let out a despairing cry, fleeing backward in panic.
But Yuto's sword pierced her heart, and she fell to the ground, clutching her chest, her eyes lifeless.
Ishtar was dead!
This ambitious goddess ultimately died at Yuto's hands due to her own greed.
In her original plan, she intended to use the Killing Stone to sacrifice Sanjouno Haruhime, mass-produce her magic "Uchide no Kozuchi," and destroy Freya's Familia. But her excessive greed led her and her entire Familia except a few people being wiped out.
Now, with the death of this seductive goddess, the entire temple began to shake and tremble, creaking under the strain.
'Even in death, she will return to the heavens, but… it will take at least millions of years for her to recover,' Yuto thought, his eyes deep and contemplative.
"So, my secret of slaying another god won't be exposed for now… at most, it will raise some suspicions."
Slaying a god again in such a short time would undoubtedly cause another uproar in Orario. But
"The Ishtar Familia is destroyed…"
Above, the raging winds tore the clouds apart, and the cold moonlight illuminated the fox girl's charming face, softening her features.
The extreme shock lingered in her heart, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. She turned her head dazedly and asked subconsciously, "Is this all real?"
"Of course it is," Yuto replied with a laugh, unable to resist stroking her fluffy tail. The fox girl's tail felt incredibly soft.
"But don't worry, I've spared those who were kind to you, like Aisha Belka."
"That's good. Thank you… thank you, Lord Yuto."
Finally free from her long nightmare, with her vengeance fulfilled, Sanjouno Haruhime leaned against his chest and wept tears of relief.
