A Mage had just knocked out a Level 2 adventurer with her staff. Everyone was stunned.

Looking at the petite girl with her slender arms and legs, it was hard to believe she possessed such strength.

And she was a Mage!

Was she—a fake Mage?

The tavern erupted in excited chatter.

The Gods, especially, were buzzing with excitement. This was quite a surprise.

The Apollo Familia members were dumbfounded.

"Everyone—be careful! That girl looks like a Mage, but she's actually a warrior! She's just using that staff to trick us!" one of them shouted.

The others nodded. That explanation made sense.

"That little brat! Tricking us into getting close!"

"She hasn't even cast a single spell! What kind of Mage charges into battle without using Magic?"

"She's probably a berserker in disguise!"

"The Roy Familia is shameless!"

——

The Apollo Familia members began complaining.

"A berserker?! I can't stand this! Let me go! I'm going to blast them with Explosion!" Megumin, hearing their insults, was about to unleash her Magic.

How dare they call her, a delicate young lady, a muscle-bound berserker?! It was unforgivable!

"I'm not holding you back," Yukari said, confused.

"Megumin-onee-chan, if you use Explosion, Roy will punish you," Liliruca reminded her.

Megumin froze, hearing the word "Punishment."

"Let's just finish this quickly," Yukari said, no longer holding back. She unleashed multiple beams of light—[Sacred Light: Radiant Barrage]—at the surrounding Apollo Familia members.

While she wasn't aiming to kill, her attacks were still Powerful.

Meanwhile, Kisara, Enju, and Kohina had already defeated most of the Apollo Familia members outside and had entered the mansion.

To win the War Game, they had to defeat or kill Hyakinthos, the Apollo Familia captain.

"Captain, we should retreat! They're inside! If you lose, we lose!"

"That's right! As long as you're still standing, we have a chance!"

——

Daphne and Cassandra tried to persuade Hyakinthos to retreat.

"If I run now, I'll be a laughingstock! I don't believe those girls are that strong. I'll defeat them myself!" Hyakinthos scoffed, then walked towards the mansion's entrance.

He encountered Kisara, Enju, and Kohina.

"You actually made it this far." Hyakinthos drew his sword, his expression cold.

While Daphne and Cassandra had told him about their strength, he hadn't believed them until now.

"Still resisting? Kohina, he's yours," Kisara said impassively.

"Hee hee hee…" Kohina giggled, a bloodthirsty glint in her eyes.

Hyakinthos tensed up, not daring to underestimate her.

The next moment—

Kohina vanished, then reappeared behind Hyakinthos.

Slash!

Hyakinthos's eyes widened in shock. He dropped his sword and clutched at his throat, collapsing to his knees, blood trickling through his fingers.

"Impossible…" He hadn't even seen her move.

——

Daphne and Cassandra gasped, instinctively covering their own throats.

With Hyakinthos defeated, the War Game was over.

"Apollo, you lose," Roy said, approaching Apollo with a smirk.

"Impossible! I can't lose!" Apollo's face was contorted in rage. He refused to accept defeat.

"It doesn't matter if you accept it or not. There are plenty of witnesses," Roy scoffed.

"My terms are as follows: The Apollo Familia is disbanded. All your assets are transferred to the Roy Familia. And you, Apollo—banished from Orario. Permanently."

The Gods, hearing this, weren't surprised. War Games were brutal.

Today's War Game had shown them why the new God was arrogant.

He had a Powerful Familia.

Even the Apollo Familia had been easily crushed.

With the Gods as witnesses, Apollo couldn't refuse.

After a final, bitter curse, he left Orario.

The Apollo Familia was disbanded, and all their assets were transferred to Roy.

After the Gods left, Roy didn't immediately claim his spoils.

"Kisara, you and the others start cataloging the Apollo Familia's assets. I have some—business to attend to. I'll be back soon."

"Okay." Kisara didn't question him.

"Hestia, you go with them."

"Roy, what are you going to do?" Hestia asked.

"Just some—minor cleanup. Go with Kisara to the Apollo Familia estate. I'll join you later," Roy said, patting her head, making her blush.

"Alright, but come quickly!"

"Of course." Roy nodded.

Hestia, reassured, left with Kisara and the others.

Roy's expression turned cold. He was going to eliminate Apollo.

He wouldn't tolerate anyone who dared to covet his Familia.

Orario forbade Gods from using their Divine Powers, punishable by banishment back to Heaven.

But this rule didn't apply to Roy.

His Power was different from the Gods of this world.

In a separated corner, a teleportation circle shimmered.

Roy vanished.

——

Apollo, recently banished from Orario, was cursing under his breath.

"Damn it! He took everything from me! I'll have my revenge, Roy! Just you wait—" He snarled, his face contorted in rage, not noticing the figure that had appeared behind him.

"You won't get the chance."

A familiar voice made Apollo's body tremble.

"Y-You…Roy?!" He turned around in disbelief. Roy had followed him?

"What do you want? To apologize? I won't forgive you, even if you give everything back!" Apollo snarled.

Roy chuckled. It seemed Apollo had misunderstood.

But it didn't matter.

"I'm not here to apologize."

"Then what do you want?" Apollo asked, sensing something was wrong.

"I'm here to send you to Hell."

As soon as Roy finished speaking, Apollo tried to use his Divine Power.

But his body was frozen, the ice spreading from his feet upwards.

He couldn't use his Powers.

He watched in horror as the ice reached his head, freezing his terrified expression in place. He looked—comical.

Apollo was Powerless against Roy's [Absolute Zero].

Roy smirked, then tapped the ice sculpture.

Crack!

The ice shattered, and Apollo vanished, his body and soul completely annihilated.

Roy wasn't sure if killing Apollo would be noticed, but it probably wouldn't be discovered anytime soon.

And even if it was, he wasn't worried.

——

He returned to Orario.

He went to the Apollo Familia's estate. It was vast and opulent, much larger than his own castle. The buildings were Magnificent. He was pleased.

"Have you finished taking assets?" he asked Kisara and the others, who were currently assessing Apollo's assets.

"Yes, Apollo was quite wealthy…" Kisara began her report.

Roy wasn't interested in the details.

But now, with this vast estate, his plan for the Cursed Children could begin.

This would be their new home.
