Another Life As Older Brother

Chapter 73 - War Game

When finally the sun stood high. Hermes even using his divinity with permission from Ouranos to display the War Game which had 3 days duration.

Every God stayed at their base or at Denatus Room, where Hestia and Hermes staring at each other for a second as the center of attention from the other Gods. Hestia had a calm expression which rather rare for her.

Every people in Orario went to a pub or bar to watch the War Game. The rare event that could result to be the end of one familia.

The place of the War Game located at the abandoned fortress in the west, in the middle of nowhere but rock mountain at the distance and plain land surrounding it.

Scouting made it easier for those at the fortress since no cover like trees or anything before they got close to the fortress. It's a place that needed a full-frontal attack.

Ganesha Familia member started becoming an announcer at the city plaza to gather people, so it's easier to handle the crowd. While some members stationed in the city.

"My name is Fire Inferno Flame!!! Today, I will become your announcer for the game. The War Game that everyone had been waiting for the past few days!!

Now!!! With the sun fly up high in the sky!! The War Game will be officially started!!!!" He said while he swang at the gong and made a loud sound.

The sound traveled through at the city and other members of Ganesha Familia also sound another gong until it reached the fortress.

"Hoah~ *yawn* Do we even had to defend this fortress this early? I mean, the other Hestia Familia's member went missing, right? It should be..." Someone that stood at the fortress wall said but quickly stopped by his friend that looked at the distance.

"Enemy attack!!!!" He suddenly shouted alarming another member, including his friend. Everyone started to get in their position with their bow as the first line of defense.

Everyone pulled their bow while looking at the silhouette in the distance behind the cloud of dust. The silhouette of several people, with a white-haired and red eyes handsome young man leading them.

------------------------------------------

After hearing the gong sounded. We started walking with full of confidence toward the fortress that could be seen in the distance.

The wind is blowing strongly without any obstacle to stop them. Carrying dust in the air that covered us for a second before we heard the enemy yelling 'Enemy!' could be heard.

"Stay here." I said while a rain of arrow launched toward me after I walked closer. The people started smiling as if I'm a fool that walked to their range of fire but none of the arrows pierce me or even scratch me. All of it got deflected as if there's an invisible shield protecting me.

Now, I'm smiling back at them while taking out a longbow from Gate of Babylon. "Bell, Welf, Mikoto, Lili, and also Haruhime. This is your stage, have fun." I said while looking at them for a second before pulling the bow.

"Nine Lives : Shooting the Hundred Heads. Style : Bow." I said while an arrow being shot one by one until suddenly a rapid-fire that made the arrows looked like fired at the same time at once, flying to the wall from the left side to the right.

Hitting the wall and blowing it up until the fortress had no wall on one side. The people on the wall flew and hit the ground. Even the member on the ground had no time to dodge and got hit by the stone wall that flew around from the impact.

"Win it for me." I said while looking that maybe almost half of the enemy either knocked or maybe got injured badly.

Bell and the other charged forward. Leaving me, Revis, Aisha, and Ryuu standing there. "You always overdid it." Revis said while putting down her sword.

"What should we do?" Aisha asked after stabbing her great sword down to the ground. "We will walk around and watched the fight up close of course." I said with a smile and pulling out Gaé Bolg.

Meanwhile, at Denatus Room. Apollo already became agitated when looking at the screen where Ageas standing. Hestia giggling with a devious smile on her face "A~ Pollo~. You remember that I can ask anything if I win right? Ufufufu~ I want all your possession, your property and you to be banished from Orario forever!!! Ahahahaha!!!!" Hestia already declared her victory without even looking anymore.

----------------------------------------

"Decent from heaven, rule the world. Shinbu Tousei." Mikoto said while opening her hands that grip together and release her gravity magic to restrain the enemy.

"Go!" She said while Welf, Lili, Haruhime, and Bell dashed past her. "Nine Lives : Shooting the Hundred Heads. Style : Greatsword." Suddenly someone said behind them while making a godlike slash toward the wall and turned them into pieces without exploding the stone.

My group already caught up to them, I remove another wall to open their path. "Go.. This is the last wall." I said something that let them smile and confront the enemy while holding the axe-sword that Heracles from Fate series used.

Behind the wall, the enemy had no time to be stunned from the thing that happening and already casting their magic. "Burn! Will-o-wisp." Welf said turning the magic back toward the wand crystal and made it explode. Canceling all the mage's row that casting magic.

In the middle of the crowd stood a red-haired woman, wearing a white uniform that different from the rest. Daphne Lauros standing there and brandished her sword.

Bell kept charging forward passing her. Realizing his mean, Daphne about to slash toward him but being blocked by a big round hammer with a short handle which Haruhime used.

"I can't let you pass." She said while suddenly her fur started trembling and a new tail came out and glow with light.

"Confine divine offerings within this body. This golden light bestowed from above. Into the hammer and into the ground, may it bestow good fortune upon you. Uchide no Kozuchi." She said and suddenly Welf behind Daphne, glowing with the yellow light. Not only Welf but also Lili that dealing with other members.

"Oraa!!" Welf said while swinging his sword toward Daphne which made her jumped back from Haruhime and Welf.

While their fight going on, the building where the Hyakinthos reside got blown up. "Oohh... Looked like even your brother is the same as you, Ageas." Revis said after looking at the tower that reduced to rubble.

"Shut up, Revis. I won't give you any more money if you keep running your mouth." I said with a ticked mark on my head.

Lili quickly turned her head and run toward the rubble after hearing the explosion. Haruhime and Welf easily won the battle with Daphne and now helping Mikoto.

My group jumped toward higher ground to spectate the battle between Hyakinthos and Bell that already started. The fight became boring because Hyakinthos losing his cool while his high and pride got slumped to the bottom.

Just as expected. Bell won the fight easily, Lili quickly checked on him while the other eventually went there after the fight.

Everyone gathered around Bell while walking outside. "Are you not gonna congratulate him?" Ryuu said beside me.

"Maybe later." I said while glaring at a necklace that dropped on the ground from Bell and Hyakinthos.

Out of everyone's sight except my group. I walked toward the battlefield after I felt no divinity is working around us which meant that Hermes retracted his divinity.

I crouch down and picked the necklace that got a Valkyrie symbol on it and observed it for a while. After that I took the broken necklace and went to Hyakinthos "No one is watching now. Don't worry, your God will soon catch up to you." I said while slashing his neck off while walking away and planted him down in the ground while made the wall crumbled on him.
