The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 81: The Power of the Simple Beasts

Me and Celios appeared in the ring, and I collapsed right away.

"Amanda!!!"

Despite knowing my identity, he was still worried.

"We were in the far reaches of space, it took almost all of my mana to get us back here."

"I see, and he's going to be here."

"Very quickly."

Dallel leapt in the ring.

"Celios what happened."

He froze as my disguise and aura shield faded due to lack of mana.

"Rose."

"Sup."

Dallel drew his sword, but Celios stood in front of me.

"Listen, I know how much you want to fight her. Believe me, I do too. But we have bigger issues right now."

"Celios, I don't know how she tri-"

"Will you shut up right now Dallel?! We have a being that could do this to Kala without breaking a sweat coming in who knows how short of time. I don't care what you are feeling, we need to evacuate the city now."

His words echoed across the arena.

The people finally looked at me and Nala gasped.

"Her arms... they're shattered."

Dallel nearly dropped his sword upon seeing the state of my arms.

"That was from one attack."

Upon realizing the gravity of the situation, panic grew. It was then that I realized that it was for the best that Granny showed up.

"EVERYONE CALM DOWN!!! WE WON'T ESCAPE IF WE PANIC!!!"

Her shout calmed everyone.

We left the arena and as I couldn't move due to having such little mana, Dallel carried me.

"You are going to explain a lot, do you hear?"

"I understand, but right now we need to focus on survival."

Celios remembered something.

"Kala, you used status check, what are his stats."

I gritted my teeth before answering.

"Too large to process."

Celios nodded as though he expected that result and got to unrestraining the other gods.

"Why can't you move though?"

"I used all of my mana to get back from where we were. We traveled way too far to have no consequences."

Celios nodded, then a crash was heard and a terrifyingly familiar voice.

"Oh, weaklings. I gave you an offer, and you can still accept, and I won't destroy everything."

I snorted.

"Yeah, you won't destroy everything because you still need these people for materials."

He laughed.

"Kala was your name, right? Well, you made a material rich world, and you didn't think for a moment that people would use it? That's almost pitiful."

Dallel recognized his strength immediately and ran as fast as he could. Duhnheim was frozen in fear, so Celios grabbed him.

"RETREAT!!! WE CAN'T WIN!!!"

The people realized how strong he was for the stubborn Dallel to instantly declare defeat.
