With the boy’s words, the skill took effect.
――Wake up!
An invisible force resists the seal that covers the world. The gods, who were unsealed by Rion, accurately perceived the situation with their respective abilities.
With the strategic eye of the God of Thunder, with the insight of the God of Mischief, with the sense of the God of Hunting, with the sympathy of the Valkyrie.
The thing they needed to avoid most was panic. Behind the square was the outer city, and if the residents rushed to the walls, there could be accidents resulting in unnecessary deaths. And it was even worse that it was at night, as darkness incites fear.
Because of the Eastern dungeon of the Royal Capital, the idea of a monster invasion could easily panic the residents.
“I’ll do it.”
Without any prior agreement, Loki made the first move.
“Luna, Eolph, and Lag, the mist that protects dreams――”
A dark mist hung over the square, separating the golem army from the square.
◆◆◆
A pitch-black mist was created between the golems and us. It’s like pulling back a black curtain.
“Rion”
God’s voice echoed in our mind.
“Loki……?”
“For the time being, I hid the golems in the mist.”
The Raven Warriors are also looking around. I guess they are not used to hearing God’s voice.
The square is already noisy. There is no way an adventurer can sit still when they hear the commotion.
“We appreciate the help, but if there are people around, it will make it harder for us to move.”
It was Thor’s voice.
Uru, the god of hunting, added,
“……So, Warrior group. We want you to hold off the reinforcements outside the mist for a while.”
The warriors exclaimed.
“T-that’s……!”
“Don’t worry, it will only take about five minutes.”
Thor rounded up reassuringly, and then he stopped talking.
Nothing could be heard from the mist. Even with “Wild Heart” and “Golden Flame”, the presence and smell of battle was blocked out. The Gods intend to settle the matter with the golems without anyone knowing.
Felix-san furrowed his brows, pressing his coronet.
“The production and sale of golems that can be used in combat should be strictly controlled. Why have there been so many in such a short time…”
While he was pondering, adventurers came one after another from the square.
“Oi, what’s going on!?”
“It’s suddenly foggy and I can’t see what’s in there….…”
“Did a monster come out?”
Many adventurers did not even realize that a battle is already taking place. Never cause panic in the city of Kalmar –that’s what Thor and the others are doing.
“……The Gods.”
Naturally, my back straightens.
“I-, I’m going too.”
Mia-san grinned and Felix-san called out to the others.
“I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“In this situation……!?”
“H-how could we hold them back….?”
“Calm down. There should be enough materials to use for magic failures, cargo troubles, and disguise. Come on!”
We waited for Felix-san and then we jumped into the mist.
“Huh?”
The mist is thick. Just one step forward can disorient you.
“Rion!”
Solana was no longer the size of a small doll, but the size of a girl, about the size of me. Her white hand grasps my arm.
“This way!”
“……yes!”
Solana led the way for us.
When we all got out of the mist together, it was a mythical world.
Thor swings his hammer in the air. His red hair flutters, and lightning flashes through his short-handled hammer. On the other hand, a golem crosses its arms and braces itself.
Thor was huge, but the golem was twice as big.
“Haa!”
The hammer slammed into the golem’s arm. Its arms shattered and the upper body was blown off. Stomping on the collapsing golem, the giant god aims for its next prey.
“O, ou……!”
With a growl, the next golem threw a punch. Thor swatted away with his left hand. The golem’s fist was deflected along with his arm. The golem fell to his knees from such impact, and Thor quickly grabbed its head and pulled it up.
Thunder burst from his hand. The golem emits smoke from its entire body and returns to a pile of rubble.
“…… Amazing.”
It’s like a thundercloud in the shape of a person. The aftermath of the attack left me weak-footed. Solana created a magical barrier to block the flying debris.
I can hear the laughter of the giant god.
“Hahaha”
Thor threw his hammer again. Several golems that were at a distance were blown away at once. Like a chain, the hammer returns to Thor’s hand.
“……It’s like a whirlpool.”
Mia-san clicked her tongue.
“Loki, the god of mishief, surrounded them with mist, and I think God Uru cornered the golems in the middle.”
At the center of it all is Thor, who smashes the golem as he approaches.
Right, it’s definitely a vortex.
Maybe we aren’t needed here after all?
“Leave everything to the Gods”—I shook my head and scolded myself for being so weak.
Didn’t they say, ‘fight together’?
“Waa……!”
A golem, which had been knocked off by the impact, landed near us. It slowly got up. I jump on its head and aimed for the core.
“Leave this to me!”
Thor paused for a moment. With a huge body of nearly 2 meters, he held the hammer in his right hand and said,
“……Oh, thank you. You’re a big guy, after all.”
God’s body glowed red. The same light dwelled in my chest, but it is instantaneous and quickly disappears.
“Fighting together huh”
Solana spoke with a smile. She kept going, protecting us from the flying debris.
And if someone suffers even the slightest hand injury, Sigris will heal them immediately.
“Thor may have changed a bit.”
The goddess’s voice sounded a little happy.
I think it’s a little strange though.
The Gods changed?
“He was also called the strongest god and was often relied on, and because of his individual strength, the gods rarely joined forces.”
A new golem appeared in front of us. But it was already damaged, and the core was exposed.
We just drew its attention and let Mia-san’s chainaxe deal with it.
“In Ragnarok, I think we were struck by that. The gods were never united. Perhaps their strength made them unable to show weakness.”
Solana’s slightly strange logic resonated with me.
“Since meeting you, Rion… perhaps we have changed too.”
Thor jumps up.
In the last one, a terrible lightning strike struck the ground. The golem army was decimated. It took less than 5 minutes as declared.
The god of war let out a roar.
This is Thor, the god of thunder. He is a reliable god who confronts enemies bigger than himself with a hammer.
That strength made me realize once again that I awakened something incredible.
