ARGONAUT

To Orario

Despair fell upon all of them. It was about to swallow her. Bell flew in with his top speed and smashed it's mouth with his full strength.

It caused the monster to spit Artemis out of it's mouth. It's mouth was a mess. Artemis was thrown to the ground. She was covered with it's saliva. Hestia was so happy to have her back. She ran towards her . In her mind she was thanking Bell, a hundred times over now.

Then with a jocker smile he pulled out his black sword and went solo with the monster. This time, the monster bleeds. It began to feel dizzy. It is angry now. It shoots dark beams rapidly. Bell activated flash and dodged all of them and landed more than 50 slashes at it.

The skeleton's eyes in his black sword shine brightly. Bell absorbed half of the soul of Anthrax. Hedin felt ashamed of himself. With great fury he also joined the attack (with only one arm). Bell then noticed the spear was stuck in the wall. He dashed and flew towards the spear and get it. Ryu also joined the Boss fight. She unleashed Gokou and Luminous wind on it. The Lefiya used Rea Laevateinn on the minions.

The ruins in the spear shined brightly now. Artemis and Hestia shocked to see that.

Artemis with a happy smile " I knew it...."

Hestia is very much shocked. She is very happy for him, but couldn't show it at all.

Ryu with a confident smile " Yess.."

Lefiya simply had a broad smirk on her face.

Bell activated Argonova and charged it on the spear for 3 minutes. Others defended Bell. Then that final moment came. Bell used 3 minute charged Argonova spear to attack Anthrax. Anthrax tried to defend itself using the dark beam.

Hedin ordered everyone to pull back. They all did so. Bell's will power and magic were stronger than Anthrax. Then everything turned white in their eyes. A loud explosion occurred in the middle of the forest. The scorpion monsters started to turn to ashes one by one. Hermes smelled victory.

Aisha hanging on her blade "Finally, we got a break."

Welf is already beat. But still he can hear the roar of victory.

Asfi let out a sigh.

The temple is a mess now. Everything collapsed down to the dust. Everyone coughing from the dusts. When it settled, they realizes that the monster is no more. Hestia and others searched for Bell.   But Bell was no were to be found. Only thing that they find was the spear.

..............................

Hestia Familia and others returned  to the castle. Even though they won, they all have a sad expression. The people gave them a warm welcome. They proclaimed them as the real heroes who saved their lives. 

Artemis  and  her Familia thanked both Hestia and  Hermes Familia. They  all have a good rest. Artemis arranged  feast  for all of them. Artemis and Hermes Familia assured that they will meet him again. Artemis Familia signed an alliance with both Hermes and Hestia Familia. They provided them with presents and all . They all know where he might have gone to. She asked Hestia to convey her thanks and the spear to her hero Bell Cranel, when they meet in Orario. 

Hedin got a new prosthetic arm. It will take him some time to get it back together. Then they started their journey back to Orario. They were provided with carrier dragons. They wished that they could see him anywhere  thorough the way, but they couldn't. 

..............................

Bell flew into the forest without anyone noticing, after the battle.  Since all the monsters and animals were gone, the forest was so peaceful. The tress and flowers started blooming again as if they were thanking him. He sat under a tree and went asleep. 

When he wake up he decided to head to Orario. Along the way he saw a  natural spring. He took a hot bath in it and resumed his journey. He never felt along as he can talk to Jupiter. Along the way they ate fruits and nuts provided by the forest. So that they never felt hungry either.  He collected some herbs and all, so that he can trade them for money as well. He wondered how others are going to react to him, when he get back. He don't want a commotion at all. He decided not to engage with any of his past friends. 

...........................

After 2 weeks  Bell  reached, Orario.  He reduced his aura to the minimum, so that he was able to enter through the gate. The gate keepers were new, so luckily they don't know who he was exactly. This made everything smooth for him.  Orario has changed a lot since he saw it last time. New buildings appeared. Everyone looked different.  Couldn't find anyone he knew. He was exited to restart his life as an adventurer.

He took a long breathe. Jupiter was speechless when she saw Babel. She was so impressed by the beauty of the  city. Then Bell  entered a shop he found nearby. He sell the medicinal herbs and all, he collected from the forest. The  money he gained was not much. Then he decided to find a place to stay. That was the most difficult problem he faced. He could finally find a room with one  attached bathroom.  But he had to pay all of his money to stay for one day and night. Then he remembered, how luxurious was his old home.

Bell rested well till the evening, then he felt hungry. But  he has no money. He remembered  how the maids in Hestia Familia used to serve him once back in time. Then he decided to go  to the dungeon. 

He  was standing in front of  Babel. He took a long breathe. Then he remembered Goddess Freya, how she  used to spy on him. Then with a serious look on his face,  he entered the dungeon. He started with the goblins, shadows etc. He limited himself to the 5th floor for now. He collected all the magic stones and returned back to the surface. He remembered the first time he went to the dungeon, meeting the Sword Princess and all. He wondered  how strong the Loki Familia would be right now. 

Since he don't have a falna he can't go to guild for exchanging the magic stones he collected. Then he thought about Eina. He wondered how she will react when she will see him again. Then he charmed a random adventurer who was retuning home  after his adventure. He made him exchange the  magic stones for money. Now he had the money to stay in Orario for  one week. 

Then Bell went to the restaurant to get some food. While searching for food, he remembered Syr, who used  to help him a lot in the past.  He picked  a place were  nobody would be able to easily find him. He finally found one. He ate  a cooked meal after a long time. It was so delicious and he enjoyed it. Then he started walking to place where he was staying,  dreaming of becoming a hero one day.
