Chapter 178 - Kill Hedin. (Patreon)

I held Samira until she finally gave up. She couldn't fight anymore. However, she was still furious, so I didn't know if I should let her go without making her "sleep.

"You're calmer, aren't you? If I let you go, will you leave me alone?"

"I'll never do that! You're an intruder! I have to deal with you!"

"I just want to talk to Goddess Ishtar. I'll tell her I'll help her deal with Freya, that's all. You're too stubborn."

"Our Familia doesn't need any help. Just go away!"

"The two girls outside also said that. Right, I guess there's no alternative but to make you get some sleep."

"What?!" Samira screamed, and then I hit her neck. I ended up using a lot of force, so I'm sure she'll wake up with severe pain in her neck. I didn't mind, though.

'I don't remember very well where Ishtar usually is... Where is her room?'

I started poking around the large mansion/castle in search of Ishtar, but even after long minutes, I couldn't find anything but luxurious rooms. "All right, let's see if this will work."

I opened the system map.

"Oh, it's showing the entire Ishtar Familia home. It's even marked the rooms I've visited. I don't remember that being possible before. Maybe the map has updated, and I didn't even notice?"

I started to use the map to move around the house, visiting all the places I hadn't seen before, but I only found Ishtar's room in the last room. "I'm not very lucky..."

But finally, I'm here.

It was a large room, like an emperor's throne room. However, the decoration was very different from an ordinary throne room. And there were two women in the room.

Ishtar e... The frog woman.

Yes, the toad woman is here! The same woman who attacked Bell and wanted to eat him. Damn, I didn't want to meet this woman...

"You're..." The first to say something was the Goddess, Ishtar. She had her hand on her chin and analyzed me from top to bottom. "You're that boy who took part in the War Game. You're from the Hestia Familia, correct?"

"That's right."

"And what brings you here? First... How did you get here?"

"It wasn't too difficult. The people guarding the gate and the door weren't a problem." I gave a mocking smile, and Ishtar narrowed her eyes.

"They were no big deal?" Ishtar was surprised. Well, The girls who stood in my way weren't weak... But I could take on even 100 people of that level simultaneously.

That's the power of the system.

"But let's put that aside, Goddess."

"..."

"I came here to make you a proposal."

"Proposal?" Ishtar's eyebrows rose. The frog girl next to her also looked curious. Just looking at her makes me want to vomit.

"Exactly. How would you like to accept my help in dealing with Freya?"

"!" At my words, Ishtar's eyes went wide.

"I'm fully capable of doing that. I need you to trust me from now on and work with me. Of course, the Hestia Familia isn't involved in this. The Goddess doesn't even know I'm here."

"Do you have any idea what you're talking about?"

"Of course I do. Freya is strong, and I know it. However, I'm sure I can handle her."

"You've gone mad, haven't you? A human wanting to deal with a Goddess?"

"I'm very confident in my abilities, Goddess." I have the system, after all. "So, what do you say? I can give you some time to think. You don't have to answer now."

"Hmm.... All right."

"Really? That easy?"

"Of course, but first, you must prove you can do what you're saying."

"And how am I supposed to do that?"

"I want you to kill one of the Freya Familia executives. If I can do that, I'll accept your offer."

"That easy?" I smiled at Ishtar.

"Easy?"

"Exactly. You can even choose which one. Any one of them is too easy for me." I knew some were at level six but wasn't scared or worried.

I had complete confidence in myself.

"Hedin Selland."

"Hedin Selland..." I searched my mind and remembered this person. He's strong, powerful. He's an elf over 70 years old, and he was also a king. It will be more challenging than I thought...

"What? Aren't you confident?"

"It's not that. I was trying to remember who this person was. But about that... I think I can handle it."

"You think? You said it would be easy a few minutes ago."

"It will be easy," I replied. Ishtar smiled at me and then looked at the frog girl beside her.

After she finished speaking, the frog girl started walking towards me.

"She'll escort you. I'm hoping for good news."

"Don't worry, Goddess. I won't let you down. I'll be back with Hedin's head in a few days."

"..."

I walked out of the room together with that toad woman. I could see that her breathing was a little irregular. I'm sure she'll try to do something to me. 'I think I should get out of here as soon as possible.'

Before she could say anything, I started running. I disappeared as if I had teleported.

I passed through the entire entertainment district, causing a commotion, and arrived at my mansion shortly afterward. "It didn't take me long. I still have some time to spare. I'll make sure I have a great time with Lili tonight."
