"Apollo, please save us!"
Under the leadership of Todd and other Level 5 adventurers, the ten people who had previously clashed with Blake in the tavern were quickly captured and brought to the scene. They were panic-stricken and cried out to Apollo for help.
They were completely stunned, not expecting things to end up like this.
"Take responsibility for what you’ve done."
Hearing the pleas from his subordinates, Apollo spoke with a cold expression. These subordinates were utterly useless. Even if Blake didn’t kill them, he would.
By now, Apollo had completely lost his dignity—he had no face left.
"How cruel."
Watching this scene, Blake spoke indifferently, his hand resting on his sword.
"Blake, what do you plan to do with them?"
Hestia asked with some hesitation. Although these people were bad, Hestia’s kind nature didn’t want to see them killed over such trivial matters. As for the five who dared to ambush Blake in the Dungeon, their deaths were well deserved.
Meanwhile, Loki, Freya, Ais, Ryuu, the Tiona sisters, Ottar, and the other spectators were all watching Blake, curious to see how he would handle the situation.
If he were to kill all ten of them, he would undoubtedly gain a reputation for cruelty, which would harm the reputation he had built.
Clang—!
Without further words, as the sound of a sword being drawn echoed, Blake slowly walked toward the ten adventurers of Apollo’s Familia. They stood together like criminals, their faces full of fear.
"Blake..."
Seeing this scene, Hestia couldn't help but smile bitterly. She respected Blake's decision and had no intention of stopping him, but it still felt a bit too cruel, making her uncomfortable. It felt like there was a knot in her heart.
Loki also opened her eyes and directly held down Ais, sharing a meaningful look with Hephaestus as they both gazed at Blake.
This was a crucial choice. If he actually killed them, they would have to reevaluate Blake's character.
Heh, kid, you brought this on yourself.
Having calmed down after his anger, Apollo thought of this and spoke with a hint of cruelty.
"Puchi—Puchi—!"
Blake could guess everyone's thoughts, but so what? Ignoring the ten people begging for mercy in front of him, he slightly flipped the long sword in his hand, and a flash of sword light cut through the air, leaving behind streaks of crimson blood.
Then, like a musical note, a series of silver lights flashed as the blood from the ten people spurted out, making everyone widen their eyes in shock as they watched Blake, who appeared to be a sadist, and the ten people screaming in pain.
"Gulp....!"
At this moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of people swallowing and terrified eyes focused on Blake.
"Hoo."
"Clang————!"
Ignoring the thoughts of those around him, Blake took a light breath and elegantly twirled the long sword in his hand before sheathing it with a crisp sound.
"From today onwards, you are no longer part of Apollo’s Familia. Give up your identity as adventurers and leave Orario. Do not appear in front of me again."
Blake coldly looked at the ten people and slowly spoke.
"Ugh...!"
Upon hearing Blake's cold voice, the crowd came back to their senses and noticed something. The people of Apollo's Familia hadn't died; instead, they had the word "punish" carved into their lower abdomens with a sword. Although blood was spilling out, it wasn’t a fatal wound. It looked horrific, but with some medicine, they could heal immediately.
"Blake, you were too wise not to act impulsively!"
Seeing this scene, Hestia spoke with tears in her blue eyes, her inner knot disappearing.
"Passed the test."
Loki and Hephaestus' eyes flickered slightly, silently evaluating the situation.
Ais, Tiona and Tione, Lili, Ryuu, and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Apollo's face remained expressionless, making it unclear what he was thinking.
As for the other adventurers and gods, they all began to praise Blake.
"Lord Blake, thank you for showing mercy! We will leave Orario immediately!"
The ten adventurers from Apollo's Familia, still in a daze, fell to their knees and said gratefully and excitedly.
"I told you, don’t appear in front of me."
Facing the endless flattery and gratitude from Apollo's ten people, Blake spoke indifferently.
Although he couldn't kill these people in public, he had already severed their meridians using his magic. As the energy drained away, their vitality would gradually dissipate, and their bodies would weaken until they died. These people only had less than half a year to live.
This was the punishment Blake gave them.
"Yes, yes, we understand!"
Upon hearing this, the ten people hurriedly scrambled to leave without even acknowledging Apollo.
As for Apollo? Who was that?
"Now that this is over, let's go, Ottar."
...
Freya gave a subtle, heated glance at Blake before speaking to Ottar, ready to leave.
"Well then, let's go too. Apollo, you lost. Remember to bring them to me."
Loki stretched lazily and said. Today had been an amusing distraction.
"Let's go, Hestia, Lili, it's time to go to the Guild and exchange our magic stones for valis."
Blake said helplessly as he gently brushed Hestia’s hair, which she had tightly wrapped around him.
"Mm-hmm, by the way, Blake, I want to have a feast today!"
Hestia nodded happily and said in a spoiled tone.
At this point, everyone ignored Apollo and didn't even consider him.
"Wait, Hestia. There's one more thing I need to say."
Just as everyone was about to leave, the chilling voice of Apollo echoed, making everyone furrow their brows and look at him.
What does this filthy guy want now?
"Hestia, I, Apollo, declare a War Game against your Familia. Do you dare to accept it?"
When everyone heard this, their pupils shrank, and they looked at Apollo in disbelief.
Has this guy gone crazy? He just suffered a huge loss and now wants to blatantly take revenge using a War Game, completely shameless!
