Aurora had exhausted her supply of magic. Her body was telling Aurora that it could not handle anymore.

“Astoria, do you think you can make one more full-powered attack right now? We need to knock Mobi Dick off the track.”

Aurora’s powers had not failed her yet and Astoria also had a bit of her magic left. This was their only chance to get Mobi Dick off track.

“Sure, I have some of my magic left. But what will we do after we get it to follow us? I don’t think we have it in us to kill that thing.”

Astoria’s worried voice brought a smile to Aurora’s face.

This was something Aurora had been worried about earlier but not now. Aurora was not so scared after feeling the energy humming around them.

GoV was finally showing her true colors. She had noticed just what kind of monstrosity had entered her land.

Aurora was sure that her anger was directed toward the tower more than the actual monster that was running rampant around the grounds and Aurora did not blame the female.

“Astoria, hurry up. Can’t you feel the help we are about to get?”

“Huh? You mean…”

Astoria caught up as well. And once she did, Astoria’s eyes glinted with assurance.

Finally, magic started to flow around the pair and it was enough to break the fragile control the tower had over Mobi Dick’s moments.

[Warning: Mental magic overload. The user is asked to stop before their body is no longer capable.

Failure to comply would lead to dire consequences.]

What a useless warning. If Aurora could stop then she would have not waited around like this.

The pair was gradually but slowly dragging Mobi Dick toward the center of the stage. It was only a matter of time before Mobi Dick would be killed off and the pair would be free.

[System warning overload. Emergency measured being implemented.]

At the most crucial time of the plan, Aurora felt her magic being cut off. She was left vulnerable and her lack of support caused Astoria to lose control of her magic as well.

“Aurora, are you alright?”

Aurora wanted to speak but the abrupt emptiness that followed her lack of magic took her breath away. Aurora could not say anything at all.

But the worst part of it all was that Mobi Dick had not been dealt with yet.

The tower still had control of the monster and used this opportunity to lead Mobi Dick back toward the center of the Rocx valley.

“What should we do now?”

Astoria sounded helpless as well. But there was nothing more they could do.

If even their magic was not enough, then Aurora doubted that anyone else would be able to deal with the gigantic whale as well.

“ARE YOU REALLY JUST GOING TO WATCH? THOSE TWO ARE ON THE ACADEMY GROUNDS AS WELL. THEY WON’T SURVIVE THIS ATTACK EITHER.”

Aurora knew this was her last attempt to get GoV to help her out. Her shout made her throat throb with pain but Aurora knew it was necessary.

[Save your breath. I can see that you failed. So, I guess I have no other choice but to take over from here]

The child-like voice caused Aurora to finally calm down and relax.

“Is that…”

Astoria’s voice was full of wonder when she asked that question but Aurora did not need to answer her. Astoria already knew the answer to her question.

[You both, sit back and see how a real goddess works. Maybe then you’ll realize the difference in our powers]

For a second nothing happened. Aurora was not even sure if something was supposed to happen.

Aurora had seen Emilia fight once in her past life. The new goddess of victory had been young but flashy. She had been impressive and her powers had caused the battlefield to ignite.

Aurora had been thinking of a similar effect when she thought of GoV’s power.

But when the magic hit, Aurora felt like everything she had known before paled in comparison.

The magic was vibrating all around her. Even the ground was not immune to magic’s effect.

Mobi Dick, which had been ignorant of everything before, finally turned its head and paid attention to what was happening in front of it.

Initially, Mobi Dick was akin to a zombie-type monster that did not pay attention to anything else except its own needs and desires.

Even with all the magic that had been sued on his till now, it did not even spare one glance to it.

But this time was different. The massive power of a predator finally caused the whale to lash out and try resisting it.

[No matter what you do, it’ll be futile from here on. I am not allowing you to escape my clutches that easily. Now be a good whale and come here.]

Chains sprouted out of the ground and bound the huge body of the whale.

They dragged the still-air-born body toward the empty valley Aurora had been trying to lead it to.

Once it was near enough, a pink light descended all around Aurora. For a second it looked as if the sky had turned pink as well.

But when Aurora looked up, it was only a shell that covered the sky. Its shiny hexagonal parts reflected the ground and the shape slowly began spreading.

The chains kept on dragging the struggling whale toward the center where the GoV’s astral body was waiting.

[You would have been a challenge had it not been my domain. Now rest easy.]

The chains loosened the whale but they did not let go fully. Aurora gulped her saliva down as she watched the arrows rain down all over the prone body of the whale.

But the arrows that did not hit the body reflected off the ground and toward the shell where they were absorbed and then reflected again.

It seemed like a never-ending cycle to Aurora. One that was incredibly cruel to the poor whale-like creature but still necessary to put an end to it.

“Don’t look if you cannot. Goddesses are not kind creatures. This is just their nature.”

Astoria sounded like she was used to it all. And she might as well have been since she had grown up among the tower people.

Still, Aurora was not one to judge after all she had seen in the abyss.

This might seem like a cruel fate to most people but this was a mercy in the tower. Mainly because Mobi Dick was going to die in the end. There will be an end to its suffering after this cycle was over.

Most monsters inside the lower level of the abyss didn’t even have this luxury afforded to them.

The whale suffered for a long time before falling dead. It happened all of a sudden as well without indication.

[WHO DARE TO KILL THIS WRENCHE OUT RIGHT NOW]

GoV sounded pissed off. Her words made it clear that she had not been the one who had fired off the arrow. But who else could it have been if not her?

“Aurora, look. It’s an arrow made up of flames. The magical energy it gives off is also familiar, don’t you think?”

Aurora observed the arrow and it did feel familiar to her. But Aurora could not recall where she had felt this energy before.

[THAT INSOLENT BITCH THINKS SHE CAN TAKE MY PREY? HOW DARE YOU MEI. HOW DARE YOU]

GoV sounded pissed but Aurora finally had a name to put to their kill-stealer.

Of course who else could it have been but another goddess? And the arrow had also killed off Mobi Dick because the monster had been weakened significantly enough.

Still, a kill was a kill. And the credit for this kill would belong to the tower’s goddess.

“Finally, this nightmare is over. I just want to fall asleep and disappear for a few days.”

Aurora wanted to do the same. Her body protested against any moment she did and Aurora wanted to sleep her aches away.

“Hey, they are here. Hurry up and help us out.”

The backup also arrived at the right time. Familiar hands picked Aurora up and Rita’s face snapped into focus right in front of Aurora’s eyes.

She wanted to say something more but her energy failed her. Aurora was knocked unconscious before she could say her words out loud.

At the top of a cliff just outside the Rocx Valley, the figure of Mei finally held her bow down with a frowning face.

“Stupid Charles and Minerva. This is what they reduced me to? Damage control? Who do they think I am?”

But the goddess also had an unconscious smile on her face. Despite her words, she was glad that she had decided to take up this task.

She had gotten to see something really interesting. Goddess of Victory might awaken fully soon and Mei would have a new opponent to keep herself occupied in the near future.
