Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

Allen opened his mouth, unsure of where to begin.

Just then, an orange figure emerged from the tavern's kitchen, carrying a large stack of plates, and swayed as he walked toward the shelter facing the street.

Allen's eyes widened, and he stumbled, creating a gust of wind. With the sound of the porcelain plate shattering, he grabbed Anya's wrist.

"Hello------"

"What?" Anya narrowed her eyes. "Brother, are you here to beg Anya to take you in, meow? Bubu, meow meow, your brother is useless now, meow!"

She pulled her hand back, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Let me tell you, now it's the cats who kicked you out of the clan, meow! Now it's my brother's turn to be the abandoned cat, meow!"

"Idiot!" Allen roared, but before he could say anything, a fist as hard as iron came crashing down on his head.

Boom————

The earth and Allen's face made intimate contact.

"You stupid cat! Do you want to tear my shop down?!" Mia roared, staring at the mess on the ground with murderous intent.

Chapter 195 The Siblings' Devastation of the Wilderness

The tavern, which remained undamaged even during the great struggle, is now experiencing its first breach.

Allen, his face bruised and swollen, was tied to a chair, turning his head away defiantly, full of arrogance.

"Hmph~, what's wrong? Still not convinced, meow? Let the cats fight again!" Anya puffed out her chest.

Mia's black figure appeared behind them: "Get to work!"

"Meow—I know, meow!"

The tavern naturally closed down, and as one of the safest places in Orario, it became a refuge. Anya and the staff delivered meals to the residents, teased Eren while turning on the air conditioning, and played with Marie in the kitchen.

Seele stood with her hands behind her back in front of Allen, smiling, and asked, "Have you calmed down? Can you tell me what happened?"

"An upgrade, shouldn't that be something to celebrate?"

Allen looked away: "Tch, none of your business."

Seele raised her index finger and tapped her chin: "Hmm, let me guess? Is it because of Anya? What did she do?"

Allen's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Seele pondered for a moment, then gently raised the corners of her mouth: "Regret it?"

One sentence pierced Allen's heart.

"Regret what?!" Allen glanced at him sideways, his face full of anger.

Seele said calmly, "Get rid of her."

The original intention was to prevent Anya from participating in the deepest death battles, so we deliberately drove her away from that hell. But why did things turn out this way?

"If only we had been more honest back then. Instead of saying things like 'you're in my way, you're a burden,' we should have just said, 'I'm worried about you,' etc."

"Shut up—, leave me alone?" Allen lowered his head, his black bangs covering his eyes.

Seele sighed, "This is really difficult. Although I really want to help you, I'm starting to regret it..."

Just then, Anya hopped over and hugged Seele from behind: "Simple, meow. Give your brother a good beating again, and he'll listen, meow!"

Allen glared at Anya: "You idiot, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Seeing that only Anya could get Allen to speak, Seele quietly left the room.

Anya, hands on hips and head tilted back: "Of course, it's defeating my arrogant brother to prove that the cat isn't holding me back at all, meow!"

“I’m asking why you’re associating with the Dark Faction,” Allen said in a low voice, a deep growl escaping his throat.

Anya's proud expression vanished for a moment, and she said seriously, "Of course it's because of my family, meow."

Allen stared at Anya, who had a serious expression on her face, as if she were looking at a brainwashed idiot: "Just because of this?"

Anya was unusually serious: "The boss is very clever. He can make the cat gain the power to defeat his elder brother in just one month, meow. It will only get stronger in the future, until his elder brother can only watch the cat's back and keep chasing after it, meow."

She understands simple truths.

No matter how much you pray, what you can't reach is still unattainable. Only by becoming strong enough that the other person starts chasing after you will it be much easier to accept and say, "I forgive you, let's be family again."

As it turned out, Allen did indeed come looking for them.

"Boss... who is he? Is it that Chanis? Is he the one who bewitched you?" Allen was furious.

Among orcs, a boss is not simply a boss, but the leader of the tribe, essentially equivalent to a master in the hierarchical orc tribe.

"A boss is a boss, meow!" Anya said proudly, staring at the furious Allen.

"If you want to find the boss, you must defeat the cat first! The cat is ready to accept your challenge anytime, meow!"

"Hmph, what a pity. My elder brother has already been defeated by the cat, meow."

If Ciel were there, he would have seen that Anya had indeed become arrogant.

She kept chattering in front of Allen, and would occasionally pat Allen on the head.

Allen remained silent for a moment, then glared fiercely at Anya: "Fine, come with me. We're going to the Battle Wilderness!"

The ropes binding Allen snapped, and a hand was used to grab the wrist of the person who had disturbed the earth above their head.

Anya's pupils turned into vertical lines. Before she could react, her body was being dragged towards the [Battle Wilderness].

"Huh? Why can't I break free, meow! Let go of meow! Big brother, are you cheating, meow!" Anya let out a piercing meow.

"Shut up!" Allen said with a cold arrogance, "Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."

……

Battlefield.

In a corner where cadres like Otta and Hedin were engaged in a chaotic struggle.

Anya, clutching her old-fashioned golden gun, stood alone in the cold wind, the aftershocks of the battle blowing her hair wildly as she looked on helplessly.

Allen thrust out his silver spear: "Come on, do it! Didn't you want to step on my head?"

"Um... just kidding, meow. Fortune changes every thirty years, meow. Give me three more months." Anya chuckled awkwardly, preparing to slip away.

She had just forgotten that the boss seemed to have said that her elder brother had advanced to level 6, a difference of two levels, which seemed like she absolutely couldn't beat him.

"Stop talking nonsense, aren't you looking for death? Then I'll kill you myself!" Allen's calf muscles bulged, and his body stretched out like a bowstring.

The next instant, a flash of silver light struck Anya's golden spear.

"Boom-"

Anya flew backwards for more than ten steps, her head hitting the ground. She rolled several times like a ball and lay on the ground in a spread-eagle position.

"Ouch—it hurts—"

She rubbed the back of her head, pouting with a disgruntled expression: "Come on! The cat didn't use its full strength back then, meow! Even if my brother is level 6, it doesn't necessarily mean he could win, meow!"

[A grey sky, vanished homes, black rain falls from the ruins...]

Anya bent her left leg, lowered her body, and leaned forward in a gun-like stance, the exact opposite of Allen's posture, while chanting softly.

Allen didn't make a move; he wanted to see just how far this "slowpoke" had grown.

Please don't abandon me!

Lost kitten!

Just as she confided in her brother, Anya also imbued her magic with her inner hopes.

After the chanting ended.

Like a homeless kitten, the "strange sound waves" of helpless howls spread in all directions.

Hedin was the first to be affected; his spell, which was supposed to be unleashed, shattered mid-air, resulting in a magical explosion. This mistake nearly caused Hegny's sword to strike his neck.

Everyone in the battle wilderness noticed the abnormality in their bodies and stopped their bloody battle to look over.

"It's not going to work."

"That half-wheel..."

"Who will win?"

"Then why do you need to say it?"

The four brothers raised questions and put away their guns to watch the fight.

however……

When the golden half-wheel and the silver chariot collided, something unexpected happened to Hedin and the others.

Alfred's eyes widened: "Hey, are you kidding me? It's actually Allen who's being suppressed?"

Chapter 196 The Orange Cat Returns Home

for this result.

It would be a lie to say that Hedin and Otta weren't surprised, but they also felt it was perfectly natural.

They didn't deny that Level 6 Allen was indeed very strong, but having just leveled up, his body wouldn't adapt to the new attributes so quickly, and the combat power they could unleash was actually not that different. Their fierce battles were also to help him quickly adapt to his body and bring out his strongest state to meet that "wall".

In addition, Anya is a completely underestimated existence. Her ability to deal with group abnormal statuses alone is enough to narrow the gap in ability values ​​between her and Allen.

In essence, whether Allen, with the added "Lost Kitten" buff, could have easily defeated Anya was a question mark from the start.

The reason that kitten was holding everyone back was because her magic didn't distinguish between friend and foe, so it couldn't be used on friendly battlefields.

This caused Anya to gradually fall out of the first echelon and almost die in the deep expedition.

in turn……

If Anya were standing opposite the group, she would definitely be a terrifying and formidable opponent.

Ota clenched his fist: "Right now, I can only exert the strength of the early stage of level 6. As for Allen, he will probably drop a level."

and……
