Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

“That kitten’s marksmanship has changed… Allen is completely suppressed.” Hedin narrowed his eyes, seemingly noticing something from Anya’s actions.

On the battlefield, gold and silver wheels rapidly alternated, and with each passing wheel's tracks, the distance between friend and foe vanished and then widened again.

Allen's silver spear and Anya's golden spear clashed and separated upon contact.

He was covered in cold sweat.

"Damn it! You idiot!"

No matter how harsh Allen's insults were, they couldn't escape the facts before him: Anya's marksmanship, which targeted his defenses, completely countered him!

Even if it means setting aside ruthlessness and risking injury to pierce the enemy's emotional attack, one will inevitably stop at the last moment.

His opponent was his own younger sister. No matter how sharp-tongued or foul-mouthed he was, he couldn't bring himself to stab her when the spear tip touched her heart.

"He's got leverage over us. Poor man!" Hedin pushed up his glasses.

With his abilities diminished and his condition reduced to only level 5 beginner, he was also overwhelmed by gun skills, and his only means of counterattack was sealed, leaving him with only defeat and death as his only option.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for nearly 20 minutes. When the red abnormal status disappeared, Allen, covered in sweat, stopped his charge, grinning, "Game over. Ready to die, you idiot!"

Anya was equally disheveled. She whistled and threw down her weapon: "Hmph, meow, I'll let you off the hook today, meow, we'll fight again tomorrow."

"Think beautifully!"

As the silver tire tracks rolled over her, Anya covered her head and ran away, crying out, "Help...help meow! Lady Freya! Help meow! You've murdered my sister, meow!"

"Weren't you so arrogant?! #￥%……&"

"Just you wait, meow! Things change, meow! Tomorrow I'll give you a good spanking, meow!"

"Huh?" Allen grabbed Anya by the back of the neck and slammed her to the ground, roaring, "I'll make you bloom today!"

"I messed up, meow! Meow~~~~" (?﹏?)

After thoroughly dealing with Anya, who was gradually becoming rebellious, Allen let out a refreshing sigh of relief.

He carried the silly cat, which looked like a lump of mud with three big bumps on its head, to the center of the battlefield: "You're not allowed to go anywhere. For the next few days, you'll stay here and be ravaged."

(｀ー′) "Nani?" Anya was stunned.

follow closely……

"Don't waste time! Allen, everything's alright, so get your act together!"

"Ah—I'll make you suffer a terrible death!" Allen grinned maliciously.

At this moment, Ota and his companions were unaware of the seriousness of the situation and were wantonly ravaging the kittens that had been caught up in the murderer's battlefield.

Little did they know that sometimes the so-called "thirty years to the west" fortune can be achieved in just three days.

……

Three days in the future, on the eve of the final battle, as Freya renewed the blessings for all her clans, she stared blankly at the gold-embossed numbers on Anya's back.

"All-around S-rank? Level 5?"

And what's this about "Don't underestimate a kitten's potential"? What's going on? Where did this skill come from? Precocious?

What happened to this abandoned cat? Did it mutate?

She had a strange feeling of accidentally discovering a million-dollar prize that had been missed in a scratched-off lottery ticket.

follow closely……

This big prize was won by someone else through a scratch-off lottery.

What happened? I was NTR'd?

Freya's expression was unusually complicated, and then she stared at Allen with a wronged look on her face.

"What the hell is going on?"

"The devil knows!"

After being ravaged for three days, Anya slowly smiled upon seeing her ability panel:

"Meow hahaha, fortunes change every three days! Lady Anya has stood up again, meow!"

（?ω?）

"Hmph—" Anya stared at Allen with ill intent.

The latter shuddered.

If level 4 is already so difficult to deal with, how will we deal with level 5?

Allen felt a pang of nostalgia for the old fool who would always obey orders, follow him around, and have to be mindful of his moods.

Who was the damned bastard who corrupted my "big idiot"?! I'm going to kill him!

After Anya's upgrade, the problem she faced was...

“We should let her join the battle. Her reduced stats will be a huge help to the war effort.” Hedin pushed up his glasses. “If she were only level 4, she might not even be qualified to set foot on the battlefield, but now that she’s level 5, she’s barely qualified as a support.”

Allen's face turned pale instantly, and he glared angrily at Hedin.

But this time, no one helped him.

Ota said coldly, "If Orario perishes, no one in the city will escape unscathed."

Heng, that's bullshit. This guy is doing just fine with the dark faction. If the city were to perish, she'd probably be the one living the most comfortable life!

Allen was about to retort when he quickly realized something.

Oops—did I do something wrong again?

If you can't get promoted without keeping a slowpoke around, does that mean you don't need to face level 8 directly?

Bullshit! Damn it!

He punched the wall and turned to leave.

It's all because he's too weak! If he were strong enough, stronger than Ota and Chardo, he wouldn't have so many problems.

But he was soon corrupted by negative emotions.

That stupid cat is pointing a golden gun at itself.

"Let's fight again, meow!"

This time, however, he was no longer able to successfully subdue the silly cat.

Realizing that he was about to be overtaken by his younger sister, he felt unwilling, humiliated, and anxious, all of which turned into motivation to become stronger.

He then set his sights on the other members of his clan.

"All of you, come at me! Come on, let's see who can fight to the end!"

With less than 24 hours to go before the final battle, Freya's Familia engaged in a chaotic free-for-all between factions.

This time, no one will hold back. To cross that wall, they risk their lives, vowing to be the last one standing.

Chapter 197 Enemies meet

The fourth day of the "Seven Days of Death".

Yesterday, Sharl specially sent Anya back to the Battle Wilderness for training, so that she could naturally join the team to defeat Chardor.

Level 8 is still too strong. There are no ways to weaken him. Except for a desperate fight, there is almost no chance of winning. Even if Allen and the four brothers level up, the chances of winning are still very low.

With Anya present, defeating a level 7 peak enemy becomes much easier when everyone is at level 6 combat power.

Charles's hope is that after Chardo's defeat and the loss of his great achievements, he can still survive; that would be the best outcome.

Just like Anya and Allen, Ota also shared a long-cherished wish with Chardo.

Chardo is an insurmountable obstacle for Ota. To upgrade Ota, Chardo doesn't actually need to die; defeating him is sufficient.

In the original storyline, even before Chardo died, Ota had already upgraded his grace, and Freya personally stayed behind to see him off on his final journey.

From this perspective, defeating the level 8 Chardo is enough to allow all participating adventurers to share in the great achievement of leveling up.

……

On a deserted street...

“My kin, aren’t you being a little too kind to the Freya Familia?” Erebus asked, puzzled.

He was a god who knew everything about the Ciel, but there were still many mysteries he couldn't unravel.

"Because they've helped me a lot too. But who's Loki? I don't know him very well. He even broke off our engagement. How could I tolerate that?" Ciel, sporting a Zanice face, chuckled with a wicked grin.

“Aren’t you afraid that the [Chariot] will expose your identity when it goes back? That kid doesn’t seem very bright,” Erebus asked worriedly.

"Instead of thinking about Anya, you should be thinking about how to deal with your old friend Hermes. Hmph, your impersonation of Erlen is exactly like that god's," Charles retorted sarcastically.

The hidden danger that Erebus mentioned does not exist. So what if Ciel's entire identity is exposed to Freya?

Because of Helen's connection, Freya wouldn't betray herself. On the other hand, looking down into the lower realms, he's the only one who can find Bell's location.

Out of respect for Jester, Freya wouldn't dare to touch him.

Are you kidding me? His mother-in-law is standing right behind him! You try touching her!

……

The two, one human and one god, strolled leisurely down the street. More concerned with finding his toy than with Ciel's balancing game, he seemed more interested in Ciel's own toy.

"I'm sorry, I even asked you to escort me."

Erebus, hands in his pockets, looked around: "Leon, where are you?"

But what awaited them was not Ryu, but the city's patrol force.

"It's the Dark Faction and Erebus! Quickly, tell the [Hero] that the enemy leader is here!"

Faced with the panicked patrol, Erebus remained frighteningly calm:

"Oh, did we run into each other by chance?"

"Hmph, you did this on purpose, didn't you? I've never seen a big shot like you swaggering around on the street." Charles retorted.

“Haha, you’re right. But, Joker, please. I still want to enjoy my walk.” Erebus sent out a divine message.

"Ah, well, who told you to be my god (godfather)?"
