Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 486 Announcement
Orario, inside the Hestia Family headquarters.

Boom——! !

A huge roar came from outside the villa, and the ground beneath the feet was shaking as if it was being trampled by a mountain giant.

"Lady Hestia, what on earth happened over there?"

Inside the villa, Lily, a dwarf girl who had sneaked back in frightened by the noise outside, swallowed and looked at the street that had turned into ruins hundreds of meters away, and couldn't help shivering.

"I also want to ask, Lady Hestia, why...why do I always feel like someone is watching us over there?"

A timid question was raised, and the blonde fox girl Haruhime, wearing a red kimono, huddled behind the dwarf girl Lily, with her fox tail shaking restlessly.

"for this I……"

Facing the two people's questions, Hestia swallowed her saliva, her eyes drifting around unnaturally, as if she didn't know how to start. Just when she was about to find a random excuse to prevaricate, something unexpected happened:
Bang——! !

The gate of the villa was blasted with a bang, and a big hole was opened. The broken door panel hit the wall behind with a sharp whistling sound, making a loud noise, which scared the three women in the villa.

"Who...who?!"

A nervous voice with a hint of trembling came from the mouth of the dwarf girl Lily. She turned her head and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared at the door, and her breath couldn't help but stop.

"Hestia?"

A calm voice with an irresistible sense of majesty sounded, and the black-haired young man standing at the door slowly walked into the villa. After looking around, his eyes fell on Hestia, who was standing aside with a pale face.

"I...I am, then...then, you are..."

"Freya has been subdued by our people. Now we need you to break the charm that Freya has cast on the entire Orario."

Freya was subdued?!
Hearing the black-haired young man's words, Hestia's eyes widened immediately. However, before she could ask more questions, the black-haired young man had already pressed his palm on her shoulder, and then...

Snapped!
A thin palm suddenly slapped the young man's wrist. The little human girl rushed forward tremblingly and stood in front of Hestia. She trembled slightly and said to the black-haired young man with all her courage:
"No...don't touch Lady Hestia!"

A voice with a noticeable tremor came from the mouth of the little human girl. The black-haired young man lowered his head and looked down at the petite girl who was only as tall as his belly. He looked at the other party's resolute eyes mixed with strong fear, but he did not get angry. Instead, he explained calmly:

"Your memories have been enchanted by Freya, and you have forgotten the existence of Bell Crane. I need to take Hestia there to remove the enchantment now."

Charm?

Bell Crane?
Hearing the words from the black-haired young man, Lily was startled. A strong sense of familiarity emerged in her mind, and her heart suddenly beat heavily.

"Bell Craney... Ugh, ahhh! Why... I suddenly feel so uncomfortable..."

Lily murmured and repeated the name. She couldn't help but cover her chest and half-knelt on the ground. An expression of great pain appeared on her face and tears couldn't help but flash in her eyes.

"Lily!" "Lady Lily?!"

Seeing the painful reaction of the little human girl, Hestia and Haruhime hurriedly supported each other. The black-haired young man looked at the little human girl and said to Hestia calmly:

"Freya's charm will no longer last. If you want, you can use your blood to break the charm and she will remember."

In the original work, Hestia was threatened by Freya and worried about the safety of her family members. In addition, Freya's charm would continue to be exerted, so she never broke the charm for people like Lily and Haruhime.

But now that Freya's family has been subdued, Hestia naturally has nothing to worry about.

“Really?!”

"Of course, if you don't want to believe it, you can wait until we get to the altar and break it all at once."

"I……"

Hearing the words of the black-haired young man, Hestia's lips slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, looking at Lily who was kneeling on the ground with a painful look on her face, she gritted her teeth, a decisive look appeared in her eyes, and she bit her index finger and pressed it on the forehead of the dwarf girl.

The next second, a pure white flame rose from the dwarf girl's forehead and quickly sank into her body, causing the dwarf girl to freeze in place like a puppet.

"Ms. Li...Ms. Lily?"

Chun Ji, who was standing by, looked at the dazed little human girl and asked tentatively. As soon as she finished speaking, the little human girl in front of her fell to the ground in despair:
"No way...you're lying...Lily...Lily actually did that to Lord Bell!"

“Lily… Lily actually said something so outrageous and made Bell-sama so sad… It’s over, ahhhhh, it’s all over –!!”

Finally, the dwarf girl screamed, buried her head in Haruhime's kimono, and burst into tears.

"Ms. Li...Ms. Lili, you..."

"Now that I remember, I will take Hestia away first."

"Um... then, Lily... Haruhime, I... I'll leave first?"

The black-haired young man said this and glanced at Hestia who was standing beside him. Hestia looked at Lily who was sitting on the ground crying, scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly, whispered something, and retreated to the side of the black-haired young man.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

At this moment, the little human girl, whose eyes were already red and swollen from crying, suddenly called out to the black-haired young man, looked up at him, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and asked with a trembling voice:
"Who...who are you? Why are you helping us?"

The black-haired young man paused slightly when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at the little human girl, uttered two words, then picked up Hestia and flew out of the villa with a bang, disappearing in front of the two people. Only the indifferent reply echoed in the villa:

"Black Sword."

Black...sword?

The little human girl who was sitting on the ground heard this, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes, while Chun Ji beside her was stunned and murmured in disbelief:

"Black Sword... Black Sword? No way, if it is really that Black Sword, why would it appear here..."

"Haruhime, do you know something?!"

Seeing Haruki's reaction, Lily's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

"This... I am not sure if it is him, but when I was in the Ista Familia, I heard some guests who came to the Familia mention this name."

"It is rumored that in this world, there are actually magical adventurers who can gain powerful strength without relying on the grace of gods, and their strength is so strong that they can easily defeat first-level adventurers."

"Not only that, these adventurers seem to have accomplished all kinds of special feats in this world. They even reached the legendary end of the world and defeated the monsters living there. Therefore, people call them legendary adventurers."

"And one of them, as far as I know, has the same name as the one who just left."

"The legendary adventurer - 'The Overlord' Black Sword."

……

At the same time, in Orario, the headquarters of Freya's family.

"'Youming', I have done what you said, this should be ok, right?!"

In front of a castle that had collapsed mostly, Hedin stared at the black-haired woman standing on the ruins and said with gritted teeth.

"Okay, go on."

A cold reply sounded, and the Death Bearer standing on the ruins glanced at Hedin and Bell Crany, who was gasping for breath with one arm completely dislocated and covered in blood, and threw the stunning silver-gray-haired woman who was unconscious in his hands to the side.

"Lady Freya!"

"Xi...cough cough!"

Seeing this, Bell Crany below was about to rush forward to catch the other person, but a fishy-sweet feeling suddenly surged in his throat, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"I would like to remind you that it is best not to move around until someone who can heal you arrives."

A cold voice came from Bell Crane's ear. Bell turned his head stiffly and looked at the figure that moved to his side like a ghost. He coughed up blood and said with difficulty: "Ahem... ahem, what are you guys... going to do?"

"You will know the answer to this question later."

The Death Eater answered calmly, and the next second, a dazzling white light rose from the distance, instantly attracting the attention of everyone else present.

"That is...!" "Wait, this power... could it be!"

This is... the aura of Lady Hestia? !
Bell Craney looked at the pure white flames rising outside the battlefield, and his breathing subconsciously became rapid.

The person who was executing the death nearby just glanced indifferently at the prompt that popped up at the edge of his sight when facing the scene in front of him, and didn't say anything more.

……

[Hint: It has been detected that Freya's charm has been completely lifted. Main quest: First round: Extreme rescue has been completed. Mission reward: Attribute points*5, Paradise points*100000]

A cold reminder sounded in Xin Lailai's mind. Xin Lailai glanced at the reminder message in front of him, but did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, he looked at Hestia, who was a little shaky due to excessive blood loss. He raised his hand to support her, cast a healing spell, and carried her towards the headquarters of Freya's family.

"But from this perspective, it's really lively, isn't it?"

In mid-air, Xin Lailai glanced down at the scene below, listening to the voices of astonishment and anger coming from all directions, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Hey...what is this?"

"Why is the White Rabbit a member of Freya's family...!?"

"Hey, what's up with this memory!?"

"Damn it! What on earth did Freya's Familia do to us?!"

From the downtown area... no, rather, from all directions came voices of people regaining their senses, covering the entire Orario like a raging wave.

Even standing in mid-air, one could clearly feel the omnipresent anger and rage that was now echoing throughout Orario.

Not only that, from this perspective, you can see that at this moment in Orarine, adventurers are gathering together, rushing towards Freya's family with intense anger.

"Very good. This way, all the adventurers in Orario can gather together with Freya's family."

Xin Lailai looked at the scene below, nodded slightly, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Although in the original novel, Freya's charm was not broken at this point in time, but at a later time, no matter when, as long as Freya's charm was broken, it was inevitable that the adventurers in Orario would gather together to denounce Freya's family.

After all, no matter who you are, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate the fact that your memory is forcibly tampered with by others for their own selfish reasons.

As for why he and the Deathbringer needed to gather the adventurers together? This was certainly not to make it easier to wipe out all the adventurers in Orario, but only in this situation would their subsequent plans be more convenient to carry out.

——Everyone is in an emotional state.

——All the adventurers in Orario gathered in one place temporarily.

In this case, he and the Death Keeper only need to reappear as the people who saved Orario, and with the identities of legendary adventurers arranged for them by Paradise, their reputations in the entire Orario will instantly reach their peak.

By then, no matter what news they plan to announce or what they intend to incite the adventurers in Orarium to do, it will undoubtedly have a 200% inspiring effect.

……

Orario, the headquarters of Freya's family.

"Freya's family bastards! Get out here now!!"

"Freya, you've gone too far this time!"

"I'm sorry, Freya, I can't turn a blind eye this time. You even tampered with the children of my clan!"

Various flags fluttered in the wind.

Those were the "group flags" representing the various clans. The clans that had come from all over Orario had surrounded the "battlefield".

"To my surprise, this kind of thing happened..."

On a hillside, Ota looked at the adventurers below who were surrounding the high walls and some who had even climbed up the walls. He gritted his teeth and dug his five fingers deep into his palms.

"Lady Freya's enchantment has been lifted...?"

In front of the castle ruins, Hedin, who had just caught the unconscious Freya and handed her over to the care of Helen, a female member of the family and therapist, also had a look of surprise in his eyes.

On the field, the members of Freya's family, who were injured in the battle with the Death Eaters, looked embarrassed and focused their eyes on Hedin, who was in charge of the command.

"Hedin, what should we do...?!"

An elf wearing a black cloak appeared. Heggron, Hedin's twin brother and known as the "Black Elf", looked at Hedin beside him, glanced at the edge of the battlefield, and said in a deep voice.

Not only the main gate, but the total number of adventurers who have occupied the entire circle of the wall and are looking this way is far greater than that of Freya's family.

"...Even if we criticize these fools, it will only make us laugh. After all, it was us who trampled on their dignity in order to fulfill the Goddess' will."

Hedin, who didn't even have time to remove the death energy from the wound, looked at the scene in front of him. After a moment of silence, he pushed up his glasses with several cracks on his face, and regardless of the pain in his body, he knocked the staff sword in his hand to the ground.

"Even so, what we should do remains the same. We are the spear and shield of the goddess. The only thing we have to do is to protect Lady Freya from all the malice! All enemies..."

"quiet."

Before Hedin could finish, a voice full of majesty suddenly sounded from above, and invisible oppression instantly descended from the sky, causing all the adventurers present to tremble and look up at the sky:
"Everyone, before you cause trouble, can you please listen to me?"

"Freya's matter was prevented by me and another companion. At the same time, I can swear in the name of the Black Sword that what I say now and next will not be false in the slightest."

A majestic and loud voice came from the sky. Beside Hestia stood a huge black sword in his hand. A black-haired young man with a pair of huge black scale feathers spread out behind him stood in the air, looking down at the people below with a calm expression, and spoke.

"Black Sword? Who is this?"

"The Black Sword...wait, could it be that Black Sword?!"

"Hey, is this true? Why would the legendary adventurer appear here?"

"Wait a minute... I remember this guy. I just saw him fighting with Ota from Freya's family!"

"That Ota?! Hey, are you sure what you saw is real?"

"Wait, he's right, I think I saw it too!"

"No doubt about it. Black hair, black feathers, and that iconic black giant sword. This guy is definitely the Black Sword!"

"By the way, he just said that he came here with his companions. Could it be that another legendary adventurer has also come to Orario..."

With a few words from the black-haired young man, the adventurers whose attention was originally on Freya's family suddenly became excited. They looked at the black-haired young man standing in the sky and started talking at once.

The black-haired young man stood calmly in mid-air, allowing the crowd below to discuss the matter, with no intention of explaining at all.

It was not until the noise below subsided a lot with the passage of time, and most of the adventurers stopped discussing and curiously waited for his next words, that the black-haired young man continued to speak:

"I know you may have some doubts in your mind, but considering the urgency of the situation, I will just make it short."

"Everyone, this forbidden object that once brought great disaster, this powerful monster that was reincarnated from the evil dragon of the past—"

"The Black Dragon Nidhogg...is about to arrive in Orario!"
