Third Person POV
Dungeon.
...
...
In the city of Orario, countless people gathered to see all the damage that Lucius and Ryuu had caused in the poorer area of the city and at the base of the Dionysus Familia.
"I want you to catch those responsible for this!" The god, Dionysus, had already awakened and was in a state of pure rage, with an extremely furious face at that moment. "I want them to be punished for such an affront to my family!"
Dionysus had woken up and discovered that his entire mansion had vanished from the map. While he tried to shout at the already present Ganesha Familia members, he was still fortunate that Lucius had removed all the members of his family, and everyone was safe.
The men from the Ganesha Familia looked lost, casting their gaze towards their captain, unable to do anything else, since the suspects had fled.
"This is getting more and more troublesome," Shakti Varma commented with a sigh. She turned her gaze back to the enraged god. "They fled into the dungeon, there's nothing more we can do here..." She commented.
"How can you do nothing!!?? They attacked a god!" Dionysus continued to exclaim.
Shakti looked at some members of the Ganesha Familia who had returned from the first war zone. "Did you get anything?"
"No... none of them are talking..." The member said.
"Damn it," Shakti cursed under her breath.
The place had already filled up with adventurers from many different families in a crowd, everyone wanting to know what was happening after the chaos that had been caused. Some members of the Freya Familia were hiding, while many members of the Loki Familia showed up at the scene on the rooftops, looking at the situation, and they were the main members.
Finn, Gareth, Riveria, the Amazon twins, Bete, Aiz, and Lefiya were all there. After all, the explosion had made a sound throughout the entire city, and everyone wanted to know what was happening. The smoke was still in the air, but nobody found out what was happening and who was responsible, except for Riveria, who looked worried, after all, the one who did this was Lord Sith, and, as few people knew his real identity, Lucius was to blame for it.
"I think I should have gone out with him tonight..." Riveria couldn't help but murmur seeing the chaos he had ended up creating when he told her that he would stay with his family tonight, 'At least he wouldn't cause so much trouble... Lucius, what are you getting yourself into?' she asked herself, watching her boyfriend cause all this in the city.
"What should we do, captain?" Tione asked.
"Let's just observe for now. I think this night is far from over," Finn said, while his instincts screamed that something big would happen tonight, even after all these explosions.
It didn't take long for a group from the guild to arrive at the scene with emissaries. Shakti looked at them confused about this and saw one of them approaching while handing her a letter. She calmly took the letter.
"This is an order from Lord Ouranos." The official spoke as she raised an eyebrow at this.
Shakti began to read, immediately furrowing her brow with the content of the letter while many looked on waiting to see what it was, she felt a bit lost, after all, it was an arrest order for Dionysus, being accused of several crimes after everything that happened tonight.
Fels was following Lucius' instructions and finding evidence that put all of his attacks as a legal justification within the city's law, so that he would not be punished, after all, all the members he attacked were from Evilus, and these accusations in the letter, left Shakti quite shocked, since the letter said that Dionysus was part of the group and that there was evidence against him, and he needed to go to a trial.
She looked at the enraged god, still uttering words alongside his family demanding the culprits, Shakti looked at her family members to give the order. "Attention everyone, Dionysus is arrested along with his family, take them all!" Shakti issued the order, shocking everyone at the scene.
"What do you mean by 'arrested'?" Dionysus looked bewildered at that.
"This is an order from the guild," Chiquita spoke. "Ouranos requests your detention for trial," she concluded, leaving everyone even more shocked. After all, wasn't Dionysus the one attacked tonight? How did he go from being a victim to being guilty by an order from Orario's own patron god?
"What is this? This is absurd!" Dionysus shouted. "I was attacked tonight and am still being arrested, what is happening?!" He alarmed.
"Yes, it seems they found evidence that you are part of the Evilus group," Shakti announced, making everyone look more sternly at the God at this moment, who was a bit surprised by this. After all, he had hidden his tracks quite well, but Lucius found the secret vault without him knowing. He couldn't even check this, since the whole place was in ruins. He had no idea that Lucius had already taken the key to Knossos.
Quickly, the adventurers sprung into action and arrested him as well as the entire Dionysus family without resistance due to their low levels, while the god exclaimed that it was absurd.
"What are they doing? They have no proof" He tried to defend himself by denying that he was part of the organization that tried to destroy the Tower of Babel since the Hera and Zeus families were banned and destroyed.
Meanwhile, as all this was happening in this part of the city, elsewhere, Hestia remained in front of her house, praying for the well-being of her family tonight, as she knew they would be at war at this moment. She could even feel their disturbances from a distance, showing that they were in battle at this moment.
"Please, keep them safe and well!" She murmured praying.
What most didn't know, was that there was a war happening underground at this moment, a war that any of the great families would like to participate in, since the enemy was the remnants of Evilus. But they would also be shocked to see monsters, known as "Xenos" by some people, fighting alongside the Hestia family, against 4 of the main Evilus families still remaining in Orario.
In the midst of the battle happening underground, in the main storage of Knossos, the Hestia family and the xenos were gaining more and more advantages, knocking down the adventurers, especially the non-main ones, who began to fall like ants.
It was a bloody battle; there was death everywhere. This was not just a war game between families; this was a battle of life and death, one wanting to eliminate the other, and now Lucius and his group were at the forefront.
The gods, from a distance, worried, saw their defeat approaching. "What should we do?" one of them asked urgently.
"We have no choice, this is going to be bad for our side, but we will also not lose the battle in such a humiliating way," another spoke.
"Yes," a third commented. "Let's do that."
"..." Ikelos remained silent as always, he wasn't as active a God as the others, just looking and not caring whether his family won or not, since he was more a puppet god than a family leader.
"Use the trap field and cancel all the mana in the area!!" The god Apate ordered some members of his family nearby.
These adventurers, hearing this, quickly began to act. They went to the place where they started to touch a crystal using magic, which was a defense device of this place, knowing they could fight against Lucius after Thanatos warned them, they set up this kind of trap to eliminate him.
This crystal began to glow, and the entire battlefield was enveloped with strange lines running across the ground. Lucy looked at it a bit worried while knocking down the alpha who screamed from receiving a hit from him.
"What is this?" he looked to the corner and remembered the trap he fell into during the encounter with the Thanatos family, leaving him quite worried, after all, he knew what was going to happen. And, before he could react, they activated the trap.
And the entire battlefield glowed, causing all abilities and all magic to be canceled at that moment. While being enveloped in that field, Lucio felt himself losing his strength, retaining only basic strength, while the others also felt the same way.
"What is this? They're losing the level booster," Lili commented, frightened.
Everyone who had abilities at an advantage was stunned by this.
"Now it's our turn," Marqy commented with a victorious smile.
Dix lost the ability of his eyes. Even so, he still had an advantage using his basic strength against the three and advanced again against Bell, Welf, and Mikoto.
The battlefield had returned, tilted in favor of Evilus's strength again, while Lucius's side was pressed again, but a bit better than before, since they had already knocked down many members of Evilus during this time.
"This is getting bad, Lucius," Cassandra commented, scared, after all, now they couldn't heal as before, with Lucius using his magic to prevent anyone from dying.
With Lucius losing his superior level 7-8 strength, the alpha began to laugh, more excited, as he advanced against Lucius with his staff, using just brute force. But Lucio, already a level 5 in terms of status. Now, even without his boosters, he began to defend himself from Elfa, who insisted on attacking him.
"It seems I have no choice," Lucius commented, after all, he only saw one way to end this battle now, since his allies began to fall and without healing, the xenos would start to die, something he didn't want and was willing to pay the price to end this fight.
