READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 160 – War Game (1)
The morning of the war game had finally arrived, and everyone's nervousness had peaked. Amazingly, I was feeling calmer now than yesterday. Now I was feeling excited.
Hestia was beside me; I could see her hand trembling. I held her hand and smiled.
"It's okay," I said. We were getting ready for the War game and heading towards the Apollo Familia headquarters, a huge castle surrounded by great walls.
From what I remember, most of the battles took place outside. Bell fought and beat Cilo outside the headquarters. However, before that happened, he had help from many people.
Mainly Ryuu. But she was not here now. In this universe, I don't even know if Bell became such a close friend of Ryuu, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Otherwise, she would have offered to help us.
Or Bell would have thought to call her.
I let go of Hestia's hand as soon as Bell appeared in the room. He had a complicated expression. As soon as he got close to both of us, he didn't even say anything; he walked slowly out of our house.
Lili, who was right behind him, looked at me, worried.
"Don't worry; we'll be back soon. I don't want you to get in the middle of this. Just watch everything just like Hestia, understand?" I moved closer to Lili and kissed her lips in front of Hestia.
She already knew about our relationship, so there was no problem.
"But..."
"Even if the worst happens and we lose, I won't die. We just need to leave Orario and live somewhere else. Right?" I looked at Hestia with a smile.
"Don't even joke about that!" That's what she said. I giggled and then moved closer to her, kissing her lips lightly.
"Don't worry. We'll be back soon."
I left the house to go after Bell. It would be a long walk until we reached the headquarters. I will try to win this as soon as possible.
'But should I do it that way? Or should I do it in a more fun way? Like destroying the whole wall.'

I looked at the great wall in the distance. The war game was about to begin. We were being watched by practically all of Orario, which was extremely cool.
I want a little more fame.
"The castle is well protected. How many members of the Apollo Familia do you think are inside?" I already knew the answer, but I still asked Bell.
"Well, it's about to start. Are you ready?" Hermes had probably already activated his magic and was broadcasting everything happening. Will I get the attention of the Gods?
I want to get involved with more Gods in the future.
So, at the stroke of noon, the war game finally began.
In the original story, Ryuu would attack the walls to force the captain to send many of his men out. So I tried to do the same thing. I activated my body-strengthening skill and kicked the ground.
Leaving residual imagery behind, I ran and approached the wall instantly. Not many people could follow me with their eyes.
Near the wall, I activated my strength increase skill and kicked the wall with all my might. As soon as I hit it, a small crack appeared. And soon after, the damage increased in size.
It became huge.
The wall began to crack and crumble, a good part of it. The enemies on top of the wall couldn't react and started throwing themselves. I smiled and backed away.
Everything had gone silent, extremely silent. Bell, from a distance, couldn't understand what had happened. The Apollo Familia members above the walls were also motionless, not knowing what to do.
"I guess nobody expected that." So I broke into the headquarters. When I did, they finally began to react. From above the walls, arrows came, but I knocked them with my black sword.
There were several.
No attack was hitting me.
"YEAH! LET'S GO!" And while I received arrow attacks and magic from the top of the wall, some men appeared. They were wearing leather armor, a relatively weak material.
But I couldn't kill them here.
I started to cut them off, but only their legs and arms. They were closing in on me, and before they could do anything, I had already cut them off. My speed was too high for them to keep up.
They were all falling. One by one, they were all falling unconscious as I "danced" elegantly in their midst. And all this while I was blocking arrows and avoiding magic.
It was probably cool to watch this from the outside. But it was even more fun for me. It had been a while since I had had this much fun. I'm sorry, Bell, I'm doing almost everything alone here.

Apollo was watching all this without knowing what to do. His hands were trembling, and a cold sweat ran down his body. All the members of his Familia were being defeated as if they were children.
This boy named Luan had just broken a giant wall with one punch. It didn't make any sense. Not only them, everyone was incredulous about it. It was scary.
He was a monster.
'But shouldn't he be a level 3 adventurer? Something's wrong. Is it an item? A potion? I can't understand it.' Apollo began to bite his nails, restless.
From how the battle was going, he knew it was only a matter of time before his headquarters was taken.
And he would be the loser of this war if that happened.
