"Hermes, I agree with your point of view. The huge leap from LV5 to LV6 leads us to conclude that the black dragon that defeated LV9 must be above that level, possessing the strength of LV10, but that's all."
"You mean...that's all?!"
"No matter how powerful, there will always be a limit."
Baili's words were very straightforward.
"The potential of this world is, in my opinion, very low."
"..."
Hermes fell completely silent.
He understood Baili's confidence.
Even so, even after witnessing Baili easily defeat LV7, he still couldn't believe that he could defeat the Black Dragon, who possessed the same attributes as the God Assassin, was immune to divine power, and had killed LV9 as well as many LV7 and LV8 adventurers.
"Since President Baili has made up his mind, I can only wish you all the best."
Hermes knew that his persuasion was in vain.
So they chose to give up...
He only felt regret.
The hero who has changed Orario and may change the world will pay the price in the future.
This is all I can witness now...
Unlike Hermes's concerns, Baili looked at the girls beside him again, wondering how much experience they would gain after killing the black dragon.
At this moment, Rias still had a question in her mind.
"That black dragon is immune to divine power and cannot be defeated by the gods, so powerful immortals were dispatched to suppress and seal it. Many years have passed since then, haven't the immortals who came to the mortal realm tried to kill the black dragon completely? They could have sealed it away."
"Lady Rias, this situation is like something out of a novel or game; the strongest heroes who save the world can at most seal away the terrifying Demon King, but the only one who can truly end all of this is—the Hero!"
At this moment, Toujou Koneko answered Rias's question.
And from the perspective of a gamer...
However, her explanation was not wrong.
The powerful figures who are not the main characters can at most repel and seal the Demon King, but in the end, it is still the existence of heroes who will end everything.
“We’re not heroes, but… I want to go see that so-called black dragon.”
Akeno Himejima expressed great interest.
Yotsuya Miko, who was nearby, nodded repeatedly.
"The Black Dragon... feels like the final boss."
"Since it can be sealed, it proves that its limit is only to fighting against the adventurers of this world, right? It cannot fight against and defeat those immortals."
Mai Sakurajima, based on the current situation, draws a conclusion.
Yukino Yukinoshita's angle is even more tricky.
She stroked her memory cat as she spoke.
"The Black Dragon's skills... if you have the chance, you should definitely try to copy them."
“Erjiu Qi Liu Jiuyi Shan Ba Lu Miao!”
The Memory Cat provided the answer.
Asia, standing to one side, clasped her hands together.
"No matter what happens, I will support everyone."
The girls showed no fear of the upcoming expedition; on the contrary, they looked on with anticipation.
This dealt another blow to Hermes, who had already begun to accept the status quo. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
You should know that the Black Dragon is a powerful monster that even the gods cannot destroy.
Even though it was sealed in Dragon Valley, its terrifying power cannot be denied.
"If we're really going on an expedition, I think we'll need to prepare a lot of things."
Hei Yi F Shan Wu Qi Jiu Liu Yi San eIr Stia knew the legend of the black dragon.
But she doesn't really feel it right now and thinks she should focus on the preparations at hand.
Hephaestus, who was in charge of appraising and classifying the treasures from Freya's Familia, also stepped forward after the family's property was confiscated.
"Tonight I will carefully take stock of some items that can be useful in battle, and everyone can take them with them when we set off."
"Thank you, Miss Hephaestus."
Rias was the first to speak up and thank them.
After all, the weapon she currently possesses was crafted by Hephaestus.
Demeter listened to the entire conversation. Since she wasn't the main deity of a combat-type Familia, she could only do what she could.
"If needed, I'll go and prepare lunchboxes that can be stored for a few days!"
The three goddesses are all prepared to provide strong support to the girls who are preparing for their expedition against the Black Dragon.
Faced with this situation, Ais, who had just participated in the conversation, was still somewhat dazed.
We lost the war game yesterday;
Join the Adventurers' Guild today;
Then, he received the favor of Baili Ciyu, embarked on his destiny, and took control of the power of destiny;
Then--
Tomorrow we're going straight to hunt down the strongest monster, the Black Dragon?!
Ais felt like she was dreaming these past two days.
However, her tightly clenched right hand made Ais realize that she was perfectly lucid.
Baili, the powerful outsider who granted them the power of destiny, is really going to send everyone on a distant expedition against the Black Dragon!
For Ais, this was indeed something she had always wanted to do.
To achieve this goal, Ais constantly trains, fights, and gets stronger.
I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly, so suddenly!
The knocking sounded again at that moment.
Ais's thoughts were interrupted.
After the kitten went to open the door, it saw a woman wearing glasses standing outside.
She is Asphi, the leader of the Familia under Hermes.
As soon as Asphi entered the villa, the first thing she saw was her main god.
"Lord Hermes! I told you to wait for me! Why did you suddenly disappear?!"
"Because there are some things that don't need you to get involved in."
"What do you mean it's unnecessary for me to get involved? I've also helped investigate the information about the Black Dragon!"
"The operation against the Black Dragon is not so simple."
Faced with Asphie's approach, Hermes then turned to Baili and began to give him instructions.
“Investigating the Black Dragon will definitely attract the attention of some forces outside of Orario, so…”
“That situation does exist, but it’s not under consideration because I will have Rias head directly towards Dragon Valley to avoid wasting time.”
Baili interrupted Hermes once again.
In his plan, Rias would reach her destination within a day, enter the sealed Dragon Valley, and then defeat the Black Dragon.
Baili's words indeed left Hermes speechless.
As things progressed to this stage, Hermes couldn't help but consider another possibility—
Could it be that the expedition team dispatched by Baili, this expedition team composed of young girls, can really defeat the Black Dragon?!
"If it's just for one day, you don't need to bring a change of clothes, right?"
"Just go quickly."
"We have Lady Rias here."
"The demon's teleportation array is quite convenient and powerful."
"And it's not just teleportation, it can also move."
"What about a bento box? What should I bring?"
Inside the villa, the goddesses and young girls began preparing for tomorrow's expedition.
In Bai Li's room, Chun Ji and Ai Si, who had not been assigned any work, stood near the bookshelf.
Chunji placed her right hand on her chest.
"During the previous training... after using Miss Ais's enhanced combat technique only once, I felt like something was missing from my body."
"Me too……"
Ais noticed this as well.
Her training match against Asia went smoothly.
While making Ais understand the power of destiny, she also experienced a subtle feeling in the moment when the power was used and consumed.
It's like something familiar has disappeared.
This has never happened before.
"It's normal for the first time."
Faced with the girls' questions, Baili skillfully explained the quick way to restore the power of destiny.
After listening, Haruhime cupped her face in her hands.
"Oh, do I... do I want it like that?"
