Chapter 783 Freya’s Desperate Actions

Kisuke recalled the brief conversation he had with the mystery voice inside the Dungeon while looking at the current state of Orario.

'A Deity used a power that was barely within the scope of the rules.'

'If it's within the rules, why contact me and risk being discovered?'

'A Deity is only a Deity because of their Divinity. That same Divinity, however, gives them a stubborn but volatile mindset. As long as it is in line with their desire, they could risk almost everything and if not addressed correctly, it may devolve into a situation where they unleash their Arcanum in this plane.'

'I see. I get your point. So where is it? I'll deal with it.'

'Orario.'

'...'

Kisuke stood on top of one of the barriers he placed on Orario and activated it. The barrier discreetly gathered the information for him and the moment he got his answers, he muttered, "This isn't my fault, is it?"

He sighed and deactivated the barrier as he'd already gotten everything that he needed to know, 'So a Deity could use Magic to emulate their own Divinity to this degree and it still isn't against the rules. Or is it just Freya? This needs some confirmation. Although I doubt it's as strong as their original ability, it's useful when their Divinity is sealed since, in a sense, Magic is way harder to seal due to how complicated it can become.'

Kisuke then watched the gate for a few minutes and saw that the flow of goods and people were still normal. Although the effects of the charm disappeared the moment they left Orario, no one noticed the changes. At this moment, he felt a familiar presence overlooking the city in the distance.

'That's... Andromeda-san and Lion-san. So they've managed to escape the city before being put under its influence. They shouldn't have any ability to anticipate the sudden assault of Charm Magic, so someone probably warned them.'

In any case, it doesn't hurt to hear their side of things so he quietly approached them from behind, only revealing his faint presence when he was a few meters away from them.

Asfi and Ryuu were overlooking the city from an elevated plain and were discussing how they would infiltrate the city to pull out Hermes, "It's no use. The entire Freya Familia were mobilized to watch the gates and the walls. If we want to enter, we'd need to go in the darkness of the night.", Asfi muttered.

Kisuke then stood up and said, "Well then. Now that everything is clear, I'll be going inside Orario and deal with this."

Startled, Asfi and Ryuu could only watch Kisuke silently leave but before he could disappear from their sights, Ryuu called out to him while reaching out her hand, "W-wait!"

Kisuke stopped walking and turned his head, "Hmm?"

"Are you really going just by yourself!?"

"Yep."

"It's a Goddess you're up against! If you're not careful, you'll fall to the same spell as everyone!"

"I can't explain it, but something like that won't be effective on me."

Ryuu gritted her teeth. She didn't want him to dive into the danger alone so she added, "Take m... us with you! I'm sure we'll be of assistance! Even becoming a decoy in case you need to escape is fine!"

But Kisuke just resumed his steps and waved his hand at them, "No need. I'll be fine on my own, even if the dialogue breaks down."

Ryuu wanted to say more but Asfi grabbed her arm to stop her. The former looked at the latter shaking her head and said, "You know it, Lion. We would just be an unnecessary burden for him."

Ryuu looked down and bit her lips but didn't say anything any further.

'It's a wonder why you're so adamant about this, but that isn't important right now. If Urahara is going in, it's unavoidable that there would be some commotion. We could use this chance to slip through.', thought Asfi while sighing.

Kisuke, on the other hand, didn't stop walking and aimed for the gates of Orario. Truthfully, even though he could have brought Asfi and Ryuu along with him as they could be some extra cards, he didn't want to be near them right now, especially Ryuu, 'She's making the same expression as Sona from before... Only trouble would come if I bring them.' Kisuke thought while wiping the cold sweat that was about to drop from his forehead.
