The White Haired Hero

Sorry haven't updated in a while, pretty busy the past few months for me. This chapter will be a bit shorter than others.

It was night in Rivira, the shops in the small town were closed and all the lights were out. In an inn, there was a small light coming from a lantern that was emitting from one of the rooms.

"Today must be my lucky day, who woulda thought that a beauty like you would be in a shithole like this?" Said the man, he was currently naked as he was on top of the woman. She put her fingers on his lips, gesturing for him to be quiet.

"Impressive... you can reserve an entire inn hmm? You must be doing quite well for yourself."

The man chuckled. "Yes I am, an exclusive quest came into my hands"

The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, a small smirk appearing on her face. "Oh yeah?"

"Well, the quest itself was a bit strange. Had to go all the way down to the 30th floor and bring back up some pretty weird stuff."

"Isn't that nice?" The woman chuckled lightly as her hands slowly went up to the man's neck, he gave her a confused look until he suddenly felt a hard pressure wrapped around his neck. The woman began choking him, he grabbed her wrists and tried to pry her hands away but she was too strong. The man started to choke as his eyes went to his skull and saliva drooled from his mouth. With the final push, the woman choked him to death, blood splattered everywhere as his neck exploded.

It's been a full week since Lili had confessed everything to Bell. They've been going down to the dungeon together every day since then. Bell has also continued his training with Riveria, he has been practicing his incantation for a while now, and just recently Riveria has allowed him to use that magic in the dungeon. Now they have to practice working on the variation of the spell, which wasn't to hard of course, Bell could easily use it, Riveria just wanted to make sure he had mastered using the actual spell.

Without Riveria's knowledge, Bell has also been practicing with Ryuu on fusing his magic with his weapons, to Bell, this was a lot harder than actually using the spell. He had to put all his focus and effort into fusing the lightning into his weapons.

Meanwhile, Lili has gotten used to living with Hestia, all though, she just couldn't sleep there without helping out. Lili would have to clean up the basement every now and then, sweeping the floors, washing dishes, throwing out the garbage, etc.

With the help of Loki, Finn, Gareth, and Riveria, they were able to free Lili. Loki had arranged a meeting with Soma, telling the god about what his children were doing to Lili, though he had no idea what they were doing, matter of fact he had no control, all Soma did was make wine. The person who was pulling the strings this entire time was Zanis, the captain of the Soma Familia. He was the reason why the Soma Familia had become what it's become. Soma had stopped caring for his children after he saw how desperate they were for the wine he made.

During the meeting, Loki had brought Finn, Lili, and Bell with her, when they did meet up with Soma to ask about the adventurers, it wasn't Soma who spoke up, it was Zanis. He defended Ged and his friends despite what they have done to Lili, saying that she was a pile of garbage prum girl who should know her place. This angered Finn and Bell greatly, they had both brought Zanis to the ground, their weapons at his neck, despite all this, Soma didn't even bat an eye towards Zanis who begged for his help.

Before Zanis took control, Soma had deeply cared for his children, especially Lili. After her parents had died, he took care of Lili as a child, he felt bad for her, he had no power or control over the ways others treated her, because of this, Lili was able to transfer out of the Soma Familia, and be the first member of the Hestia Familia.
