Sorry for not updating for 3 days.

I was going to update, but I had to help my parents packed up to go to Vietnam since one of my dad's family member passed away, but they canceled the trip.

Then I overslept and missed updating, and yesterday, I went to church.

Those three days were me busy and procrastinating.

Sorry for not fulfilling my end of my deal to you guys.

But, I'm back, and I'll start updating.

During the battle, Bell and Hestia are still trying to get away from their monstrous pursuer. With its powerful forearms and legs, it jump over multiple buildings in the complex terrain to chase after them.

Bell weave through the complex maze of Daedalus Street, cutting corners and going underneath bridges, but no matter how many times he did, the monster always find him.

Bell's only mind right now is take Hestia to a safe location so he can fight the monster. Bell doesn't want to say this, but his Goddess is deadweight and she'll get in his way if he wants to fight that Silverback.

Bell: Goddess Hestia, we're almost there!

Hestia: What's almost there when we're sitting ducks from that monster! Bell, that monster is above your level!

Bell grits his teeth knowing that Hestia is right. The Silverback is a monster found in the eleventh to twelfth floor o the Dungeon. With his currents stats, he can't fight that monster that is the height of a small building.

As they run, they reach to an open space where the monster lands in front of them, separating the two from each other.

Bell: Goddess Hestia!

Hestia: Bell!

Bell try to reach for her, but the monster turn its head to look at Bell. Its glowing red eyes and huge height spark Bell's memories when he face death in front of him. The same scene when the minotaur was going to crushed if Karna was not there.

Because of that fear, Bell stand there, freezing of inaction to help his Goddess as the monster look at Hestia. The monster slowly walk towards the helpless goddess as she watch in fear.

Bell: I'm scared...! I'm so scared...!

The monster's hand reach towards Hestia, ready to squash her like a tomato.

Bell: Why am I standing here! I need to save my Goddess! I'm a man, so why can't I act like one!

Drooling from its mouth, the monster gets ready to eat the divine.

Bell: Do it, Bell! Do something!

Before the monster can grab Hestia, time began to freeze.

???: What's holding you back?

Bell: !

???: Why are you standing there like a chicken with its head off? If you're going to save her, do it.

Bell: But... I can't move.

???: You mean right now? Time may seem frozen to you, but its because your perception of time is dilated. For you that time is frozen, for the others, time continues to move. You understand what I am saying?

Bell: So, if I don't make a choice right here right now, Goddess Hestia will die...!

???: Correct. So, little hero. What are you going to do? That Silverback can easily crush you with stats it has from the eleventh to twelfth floor. But, you can defeat it.
