In the Wadya island, Wadya city isn't the only city because there are many other little towns which connect the city to the mines in the west.
There is also the Daya city in the north which is a maritime city that has a port used to travel to the north of the country towards the capital.
_____________
The slums of Wadya City is united under one leader and that leader is Kara herself. She, with her wisdom, talent and battle experience, was able to unite the whole underworld of Wadya island and also other near islands under her rule.
Now, she has many followers and men under her command and many hideouts. The one that Eros invaded is just the one that kara use to invite guests with high positions.
In reality, her true hideout is in the slums. It's an underground big building that has 5 floors under the ground. After the battle between them, Kara who is taking them there.
Eros didn't care too much because even if she prepared a trap, She won't be able to defeat him. After they went out of the mansion, Eros asked her some questions:
"Hey, Do you know something about the port incident that happened hours ago?".
Kara looked at him for a little and then said:
"Nothing much. I only know that the guards tried to capture some criminals but weren't able to because they were too powerful. Some guy came after that and took all the criminals".
Eros sighed because it seems that the information that he wanted isn't with Kara. Kara then looked at him and said:
"Let me ask you then, Are you the one who battled at the arena back in the afternoon?".
Eros looked at her for a little and then said:
" Yes, It was me. Back then, Riss told me that my friends have been kidnapped and so I needed to verify if it is true or not. I decided to create some commotion so I can see if the kidnappers will appear but they didn't appear at all so it was useless".
Karra looked puzzled as she looked at him and then said:
"How did Riss know about your friends, I mean he should've been in the guild yet he knew about your friends being kidnapped".
Eros: " I don't care how or what knows but what I am sure is that he's hiding something from me and that's why I will make sure that he tells me".
Kara who heard him say that felt a little afraid and also concerned about Riss. She then said to him:
"Riss isn't bad himself. He must have a reason for doing all of this and when everything ends, he will tell you".
Eros smiled and stared at her for some time which made Kara feel a little uncomfortable.
Kara: " Why are you staring at me?".
Eros: "Are you in love with him".
When Kara heard that, she blanked for a moment and then blushed until her face became a tomato. Eros who saw that continued smiling.
Kara who is hardly able to talk said:
"What nonsense are you saying. me, In love with Riss, are you insane?".
Eros: "So you really love him, Hmmmmm. I didn't expect the Valkyrie to fall in love with the guild master?".
When Eros said that, he swore that he could saw steam rising from her head and she was about to faint but this didn't matter anymore.
On the other hand Seath, Diss and Saya are following Eros and Kara as they see how embarrassed she is and Eros teasing her.
Diss: "I never expected to see The boss embarrassing moments or her blushing like that. I must say that she really looks cute".
Saya: "Grrrrrr, Diss. How dare you say such things about Miss Kara. I don't care about you betraying us and guiding the enemy to our mansion but to dare and say that Miss Kara is cute, Hmph someone like you can't say such a thing".
[AN: I don't think that saying cute is more important than betraying ].
Seath who is walking behind them and crossing his hands behind his head felt annoyed as he thought
(I want to battle. If I only stayed back in the ship, I would've had a great battle).
[AN: As an author, even if you wanted that I wouldn't have let because there is something called PLOT!!!!!].
Eros and the others continued walking to the slums so they can go to the underground mansion.
_______________________________
After some time, they reached a part of the west district where everything is dark and nothing can be seen. When Seath sees the dark alleys he said:
"Why didn't the city lord try to eradicate these slums?".
Eros: " The slums are necessary for any city".
Diss, Saya, Seath: "What?".
Eros looked at their surprised expression and then sighed and said:
"You really don't understand such an obvious thing?. Let me explain to you. If you eradicate the slums, the criminals and the bad people will not have a place where they can do their shady jobs so they decided to sacrifice a part of the city for the greater good. Isn't that right Kara?".
Kara looked at him as she recovered to her cold expression and said:
" Yes, I also asked the city lord to expand the slums a little so we can keep the slums and everyone under control".
Saya, Seath, Diss: "😰😰😰😰, I never thought like this".
Both Eros Kara sighed and then they all started walking towards the slums as they passed by the old houses and the saw people that looked malnourished and weak.
They finally reached a completely destroyed house that can fall at any moment and they walked through the ruins.
Finally, they reached a door and when they opened it they found stones that lead to the underground building.
After some time, they reached the underground facility and it was really shocking. Having such a place in the city is really surprising.
Eros: "You still didn't tell me why you brought us to this place?".
Kara: "You will stay here while I search for any information about your friends and also chose a room to stay on the 4th floor".
Eros and Seath nodded and they then went to their rooms so they can rest.

Eros reached his room and entered inside. Eros immediately went and fell into the bed. Although it didn't show, Eros, exhausted himself as he used Sunshine many times today.
Eros then said:
"Even when I reached the second level of the Devine sun technique, I can't still use Sunshine without exhausting my body. Although it isn't that much, I can still feel my body breaking from using Sunshine just Like Escanor".
Eros then sighed and thought about how he can speed up his cultivation level. After all, if he can win but sacrifice his life force, It will be useless.
Finally, Eros remembered about something and touched his necklace as he infused some of his mana and got his Axe out. He then looked at the Axe and said:
"It just looks just like Rhitta but I feel something different Like I am holding a sun with my hands. It must be because of the liquid that was in the heart of a star".
Suddenly he Activated Sunshine and started charging the Axe. Eros started feeling his power draining as it went to the Axe.
Although Eros used some of the night time when he fought against Kara, he didn't take that much time and so he is able to charge the Axe.
After hours, Eros was able to charge the Axe. He then said:
" I must that this Axe is really a big eater. I needed to use all the night time sun power to charge it completely. With this new trump card, Even if my power decreases after high noon, I will be able to attack with my power like the noon Although it won't be like the ONE. Heck, I won't be able to keep like that for much more than 5 minutes but its enough for me as I can defeat any enemy below the Saint king level".
After Eros charged the Axe and discovered a new use for it, he decided to sleep and rest and keep discovering the mysteries of Axe and Sunshine tomorrow.
