danmachi : the journey of a hero ( volume 17 fancfic )

Dropping the Veil(3)

In a wide isolated chamber deep in floor 16 Bell kept looking at those visitors who asked him to follow them with no objections. He couldnt refuse because they were stronger than him (Ottar , Allen and Hedin) and he wanted to know about Syr from them too.

Bell hesitated to what to say , he kept following them from floor 18 and now they stoped.Ottar turns to him 

Ottar :'' i think this is our first time meeting ''

Bell :'' y.yeah!''

Ottar :'' i ll get directly to the point, our godess wants to talk to you alone, make sure to come to Freya floor in babel tower in the next  full moon'' 

Ottar :'' refuse to come and we ll destroy your familia to the ground''

Bell held his breath (what the hell is going on ? why they always targeting me and my familia? and why Syr with freya familia?)

Bell :'' where did freya-sama took Syr?''

Ottar :'' If you want to know about her ,you can either come to freya-sama or ..." Ottar grabs his big sword and swong it in bell's direction 

Ottar :'' beat me and i ll tell you!"

in the next moment Ottar launched his attack the wave hitted the ground and started cracking in bell's direction 

Bell dodged this attack with his face full of question 

Bell:'' why are you doing this ?''

Ottar :'' i am an adventurer , i found another adventurer in dungeon from another familia , so i want to fight him. thats all '' 

Bell held his grounds and forrowed his eyes ,he griped his hestia knife and ushawakamaru and prepared for fight

His oppenent is the strongest in Orario.his name makes many adventurers drop in terror .(the king , the champion , freya familia captain! Ottar!)

Along with a scream bell launches himself in Ottar direction 

Bell:'' heaaaaa!''

but ottar Big sword was mooving so fast that you think he is holding a stick 

Bell keeps dodgin ottar attacks with his movements , if he wasnt level 5 already he ll be crushed multiple times, the weight and the speed of the attacks were completly on diffrent level . 

On the other side Allen and Hedin were guarding the only entrance to the chamber , Hedin was holding a crystal, it was connected to someone on the top of babel tower , 

Freya was on her chair watching the orb.

A white haired adventurer trying to hold his ground against  a stronger enemy than him 

Freya was smiling , she's enjoying with this boy's strugle. but then she noticed something.

Despite the consective attacks from Ottar , the boy still holding his grounds.no he was trying to counterattack! 

Freya :'' THIS !''

she never imagined that only after one expidition he ll grow up this much.

her breath became faster. she couldnt hide how excited she was. the idea of the kid who grow up even faster than her expectations , and now hes facing  a real strong enemy and still holding.

In the other side Ottar was surprised ,he watched the kid fighting the minautor in orario before and his movments now and  reactions along with speed are on a diffrenet level from that time.

allen and hedin couldnt hold their thoughts too 

Allen :'' hoo , the brat has some skills''

Hedin:'' hes not good in running, Freya-sama would be really happy''

Bell  breathing heavily , he tries to counter that long sword that coming on him , everytime it swong on his head it launched a big weight on him .but he still have to hold , despite the pain on his arms , he already got some bruises  ,( i need to find an opening , i need to get to Syr )

Bell remembered a conversation he once had  with Ais when asked her weather she fought against ottar before , and how strong is the first adventurer in Orrario.

Ais said :''Ottar is like a wall , you need to break down with full strengh, playing tricks on him wont work, he is a warrior with many years of experience''

Bell holds his breath deeply and shants his fast magic 

Bell:'' firebolt! firebolt! firebolt!''

multiple big flames fly directly on ottar direction 

while he cutted the vision of ottar he held ushiwakamaru in front and hid Hestia knife behind , and he started charging his new attack on Hestia knife . before the flames disapears ottar jumped from inside of them and surprised bell with direct attack , bell tried to dodge but ottar countinued with  his elbow and sent bell to the wall 

Ottar :'' come , is that all you got ?'' 

Ottar :'' do you call yourself an adventurer ?''

bell clean the blood from his mouth and stands up , he had many bruises all around his body . despite ottar was not using his all strenght. bell uses his magic again 

'' firebolt!firebolt!''

Ottar :'' it wont be usef..!'' 

before ottar finishes his words the boy image blured and he was already next him swining his dager , he was surprised how his speed increased that much , he swong his long sword but bell dodged it in mid air , and then ...

Allen and Hedin were shocked ! 

the boy managed to get a hit on Ottar arm and a samll wond on it 

Hedin :'' there is no doubt about it, His level raised up again!'' 

allen :'' i see now why  our godess is so interested in him''

the fight stoped for a little period , bell was breathing heavily , and ottar was looking at him with indifrent eyes .

Ottar :'' i have to admit , i underestimated you , who have guessed that you ll reach level 5 already! i ll go all out now ! show me all your strengh''

Bell clenched his teeth , and start charging his hestia knife again , his dagger started shining from red flame to bright , a rining  bell sound can be heard .

Ottar body shines in gold and the air around him disturbs , he wants to finish this fight in the next attack .

After few moments both of them launched their attacks .

in the upper floor 13 Loki familia were going back to the surface , and then a huge earthquake shakes the dungeon , all other passing adventurers were shocked , it was not a usual earthquake , it was like an explosion happened beneath their feet 

Finn :'' what was that !''

Riveria '' it looks like the dungeon boss is spawning ?or an epxlosion?''

Finn hurried down and asked Riveria and Ais to follow him 

He thought that Evilus might have done something again . 

in the large chamber in floor 16  the smoke and debris were everywhere , the chamber walls collapsed and the roof started falling , before everything gets clear ottar shows up , a clear wound on his chest was showing but it was not deep , allen and hedin jaws were still opened because they never imagined the kid strengh would be this much ! 

Freya was jumping from excitement on her chair , her eyes full of  lust and were shining , like she saw a big diamond. 

ottar was holding bell who was knocked up and injured .

Ottar :'' hedin , heal him for now , we ll move up and take him with us''
