I love time travel the most!

Zolf pressed his shoulder, slightly worried about his life.

Under the watchful eyes of his companions, Bell took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with determination.

Even in such dire circumstances, he was determined to win!

There's no way he can back down now!

Perhaps this was the turning point; Bell suddenly felt as if he understood something.

when!when!when!

As if in response to him, the bell began to toll, and white particles of light condensed in his right hand.

[Hero's Wish] is quietly activated.

He knew that he still had the most important thing to do, and he must not let down the opportunity that Hestia and Kobayashi had created for him!

"Let's go, everyone!"

"Yes!" xN

The group then headed straight for the pit at the very center of the ruins, which was both the epicenter of the magical bombardment and the location of the local general.

Although some people still tried to forcefully stop them, with the help of Zolf, Mikoto, and Lily, Bell managed to reach the center of the final battle all by himself.

The throne tower has vanished into thin air, its surroundings shattered by a bombardment from the sky, leaving ample space for movement.

Coincidentally, the other main character also makes his appearance.

He was just a bit disheveled at the moment.

With his cloak tattered, his dirty hair swaying, and his whole body burning hot, Hyacinthus, who had lost half of his left arm, pushed aside the rubble pressing down on him and barely managed to climb out from the lower level.

"What the hell is going on?"

"What just happened?"

Recalling the sun that had just fallen from the sky, his survival instincts kicked in, and he sensed danger and hurriedly hid in the underground passage of the ruins.

The next instant, a huge fireball burned Hyacinthus's vision, and he was blasted away along with the rubble.

If it weren't for the lucky ground collapse, he would have melted away by now.

Now the surrounding area is all rubble, and there is a lot of dust everywhere that obscures the view.

Whether driven by fear, anger, or confusion, Hyacinthus shouted the names of his bandmates.

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

As the sandstorm gradually dissipated, he saw several arms and half a body buried in the rubble, and he froze.

—Total annihilation!

He was all alone now!

Destroyed by the scorching sun that fell from the sky, not a single member of the clan remained.

This fact shattered Hyacinthus's reason.

"How, how could..."

He muttered to himself in disbelief.

When the broken staircase collapsed a second time, he was terrified and suddenly drew his sword, roaring like a madman:

"Where are you? Come out!"

His only remaining right hand trembled uncontrollably.

The enemy is nearby!

My heart was pounding, I was sweating profusely, goosebumps were rising on my skin, and my body was tense instinctively, enough to pierce through my fighting spirit.

Hyacinthus knew very well that the enemy was nearby!

He turned his body several times, his composure shattered by the magical attack, and looked around at the collapsed rubble. Not to mention, the loss of his left arm only added to his despair.

As the time goes.

Sunlight pierced through the sand and dust, and a figure appeared faintly in the distance, shrouded in sand and dust, making it impossible to see who it was.

But those piercing, bright red eyes were fixed on him.

The next second, a dark figure swooped down!

Danger!

Hyacinthus's alarm blared, and with a swift turn, he swept his longsword horizontally to block the enemy who was breaking through the thick smoke.

"It's you!!!"

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

His eyes were bloodshot, as red as Bell's.

Without a word, the longsword and the short knife clashed fiercely, sparking endless flames.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Hyacinthus roared in anger.

Bell remained silent.

The two people's situations suddenly reversed.

attack!

An ultimate offensive!

A swift and fierce attack!

Once, twice, three times… countless times! Hyacinthus mustered all his strength to launch swift and sharp attacks, intending to defeat Bell in one fell swoop. He wanted to make this weak rabbit understand that LV3 was an insurmountable chasm!

...That's how it should be!

But no matter whether the attacks were aimed at his chest, the side, above his head, or even out of his sight, the continuous, raging slashes were all intercepted.

Absolutely perfect!

Bell is even faster than him!

The weapon delivered a distinct impact, piercing Hyacinthus's arm, and a tingling sensation continued to travel through his mind.

The honest, even naive, skill was gone; the weakling he had beaten up ten days ago was nowhere to be seen. Abilities, techniques, and battlefield tactics—everything was different now.

The boy's complete transformation made him doubt his own eyes.

Hyacinthus screamed at the top of his lungs, "No, impossible! Who...who are you?! I...I'm a Level 3!!!"

Losing his mind, he launched a frenzied attack.

Whether it's the intent to attack or the technique, he's actually the one who's honest and straightforward.

"I didn't lose! If it weren't for my arm... if it weren't for that magic... yes, I didn't lose! I didn't lose!! I didn't lose!!!"

Like a down-on-his-luck person unwilling to admit defeat, constantly searching for excuses at this moment.

But he's right.

"If I hadn't been hit by magic, I probably would have been in a tough fight. But even then, I won't lose! That person told me that I have potential far beyond others, so I just need to believe in myself! Just like I believe in him, I believe in myself! For everyone's sake, I will never lose!"

Facing an enemy who was constantly trembling and wavering, Bell's figure blurred. He ducked down, and the magic he had been gathering for a long time shot out with the [Hero's Wish]!

"—Flame and Lightning!"

A terrifying flame, accompanied by lightning, shot upwards, destroying the enemy's longsword in one fell swoop and soaring into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds that had been gathering above.

Bell was ultimately soft-hearted and didn't strike him in the face, otherwise Yacintos would have died on the spot.

But after kicking him away, victory was already in his grasp. Even at the very end, Hyacintos muttered that he hadn't lost.

Bell looked at Hyacinthus, who was leaning against the crumbling wall and unconscious, and said:

"You didn't lose, I just won."

when------

As the bells of the ancient city ruins rang out, the sound of the great bells, announcing the outcome, also echoed throughout the labyrinthine city.

At the same time, the commentator, his face flushed, raised his microphone and shouted, "Battle over! What a huge upset! Who would have thought that the final victor would be the [Hestia Familia]!"

The announcement, amplified, engulfed the audience like a raging storm.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Cheers reached the heavens, and the audience shouted excitedly at the boy standing in the mirror, instantly plunging the city into a festival-like frenzy.

Inside the council hall on the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel.

Upon witnessing the crushing defeat of his allies, the sun god, crowned with a laurel wreath, abruptly rose to his feet and cried out, "This is unfair! There's something wrong with this war game! I don't accept this result!"

Normally, when Apollo goes on a rampage, someone would jump out to mock or stop him. But this time, no one stood up.

Because there are indeed some doubts.

Hestia, who was initially happy about the victory, immediately became displeased upon hearing his words and shouted, "What did you say? Apollo, are you a sore loser?"

Apollo sneered, "It's not that I can't accept defeat, but Hestia, you've been hiding something important!"

Then he voiced the questions of all the gods.

"—Why can Kobayashi use that kind of magic? That's clearly not a Level 2 ability! I'm reporting Hestia for cheating. She concealed the ranks of the participants! And Uranus, I didn't expect that even you, who are supposed to be fair, would conceal the ranks of your own family members."

The gods were initially shocked and cheered by the [Explosion Magic], but they soon realized something was wrong.

Can LV2 use such exaggerated magic?

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

Hestia waved her hand, looking relaxed, and said, "I thought you were going to say something. You're right, Lin isn't LV2, he's actually LV4."

"See, I told you I was right!"

Apollo spread his arms and shouted to the gods on their thrones, "Everyone, shouldn't we declare me the ultimate victor at this moment?"

His request was also recognized by the other gods, who condemned the unfairness of this war game.

But just when the Sun God thought he had won over everyone's hearts and had taken Kobayashi and Bell into his fold, and was even fantasizing about what their future titles would be, an untimely voice interrupted his daydream.
