Drino smirked as he observed the small family standing before him. Did they honestly believe their meager power could halt his progress? He still had a significant window of time before the planet's laws began to suppress his strength.
‘I never imagined Divine would invest so heavily in a local inhabitant; he has already reached the level of a demi god on such a pathetic world,’ Drino mused, evaluating Vritra's prowess. His combat skills, tenacity, and lack of fear weren't simply handed to him; Divine must have dragged him through the depths of hell to forge such power.
‘However, what if that god attempts to reclaim my spoils? I'll need to find a secure place to store them.’ The demi god was already calculating how to safeguard his future loot.
Suddenly, before a reaction could be made, Fiona lunged toward him. Vritra attempted to intercept her, but his recovering body lacked the necessary speed to intervene in time.
Her physical form shifted into crimson fire, shedding every trace of her human appearance. ‘OH!! The Undead Mythic Halo!!’ Drino’s eyes widened with astonishment at the sight of the blood-red blaze. This was among the most coveted mythic halos in existence.
It was even more prized than Nihil Anima, given its ability to grant literal immortality alongside devastating offensive power. Drino was ecstatic; how could his fortune be this incredible? To find three mythic halos in a single location—and all of them top-tier rankings—was beyond his wildest dreams.
“Haha! Even your kin knows how to treat a guest! They’ve come forward on their own to hand these treasures over!” Drino bellowed with insane laughter. Despite being a demi god, these artifacts possessed the potential to skyrocket his power instantly.
Fiona’s form became ghostly and intangible. The ambient temperature spiked violently as the red flames began to devour everything in sight. Drino continued his manic laughter, confident that a single strike would be enough to break her, regardless of her mythic halo.
She was merely a Lord; how much of a threat could she possibly be?
BOOOOM!!
A thunderous explosion echoed as the force of Drino’s punch sent shockwaves through the atmosphere. Vritra managed to teleport nearby, but the blow had already connected with Fiona's form. Contrary to expectations, however, the fist simply passed through her body. Immediately, the flames surged up his right arm and raced toward the demi god’s face.
Drino grunted in pain as his eyes began to sear. Fiona materialized again about a dozen meters away, completely unharmed. The blood-red fire continued to feast upon his head and arm, proving nearly impossible to extinguish. Drino realized that attempting to use his Mana to suppress the fire would only serve as additional fuel for the blaze.
While the flames were dangerous, they weren't yet fatal. He believed that if he could just slay Fiona and claim the Undead Flame, he would prevail. Turning toward the redhead, Drino let out a furious snarl. But just as he prepared to lunged, a long strand of cloth snared his feet.
To his shock, he was unable to snap or escape the simple-looking fabric. Looking back, he saw Vanessa was the one manipulating it. He moved to strike her, but a massive portal suddenly manifested behind the white-haired woman.
“A—A lesser goddess?” Drino looked startled, but that surprise morphed into pure terror as he felt the holy energy radiating from the opening ethereal gates.
“T-There is no way you can command the power of a god!!” Drino screamed in disbelief, sensing the aura of multiple deities emanating from within the gateway. Diana stood with her eyes shut, her form radiating a brilliant light that gave her a truly divine appearance.
The gargantuan gates swung wide, casting an overwhelming pressure upon Drino. A spectral hand then materialized in the sky, its scale hundreds of times larger than the demi god. The very fabric of space trembled. Drino fought to move, but the restrictive cloth bound his feet firmly in place.
Furthermore, his Mana was unstable due to the red flames. In the following instant...
BOOOOM!!
The colossal palm crashed down onto the demi god. He resisted for a mere heartbeat before being driven deep into the earth. Diana coughed, having drained her entire Mana pool. As her strength failed and she began to collapse, Vritra caught her gently.
“Oh!” He murmured, looking at the synchronized assault of his wives with genuine surprise. It appeared they were far more capable of facing a demi god than he had previously assumed.
“Are you alright?” he asked, gazing at the goddess’s stunning features.
“Haa, yes...” Diana whispered, leaning into him as she tried to catch her breath.
“Here, take this.” Vritra produced a potent Mana potion and held the vial to her lips. He then checked on Vanessa and Fiona, noting they were also unharmed.
The previous strike had been formidable, yet it wasn't enough to finish Drino. “Honey, let us fight by your side,” Vanessa said, moving closer as the pinkish cloth drifted around her. She had already gained significant mastery over the artifact.
“Darling, don't worry about us. We aren't as weak as we used to be,” Fiona added, joining them. Vritra realized he had truly undervalued his wives; he was so accustomed to being their shield that he hadn't noticed they were now ready to be his sword.
“Very well, let’s take down this lizard together,” Vritra agreed with a nod. He then turned his attention to Maeve. Since she hadn't yet acquired a powerful treasure, she wouldn't be able to contribute much to this specific tier of combat.
“Master, please stay safe,” Maeve said, understanding the situation perfectly without trying to force her way into the fray. Vritra gave her a small smile before sending her into the Divine Realm for safety.
A moment later, the enraged demi god soared back into the air. The red flames still licked at his body, and deep gashes were visible across his scales. “You will all perish!!” he shrieked, brandishing two long metallic whips.
Before he could strike, the magical cloth snared his weapons. Fiona transformed into fire once more and vanished. Vritra, having recovered most of his vitality thanks to his wives' intervention, also disappeared from sight.
“You think this can stop me?!!” Since the cloth was indestructible, Drino simply used his superior physical strength to yank it toward him. However, a heavy kick slammed into his jaw at that exact moment. Vritra vanished immediately after the strike, and Fiona reappeared behind the enemy.
Torrents of terrifying flames erupted, drowning his body in heat. Vritra utilized Misty Essence to ensure Drino’s counterattacks hit nothing but air, while allowing Nihil Anima to gnaw at the demi god's soul.
The four of them launched a coordinated assault. Though the Undead Mythic Halo, the magical cloth, and the God’s Tomb allowed the three women to damage the demi god, they were still fundamentally outclassed in raw power. Consequently, Vritra took the lead, parrying every blow to protect them while steadily charging the meter for his Radioactive Fist.
Every time Drino attempted to target one of the women, he was met with a barrage from three different directions, causing all his attacks to miss their mark. Vritra even allowed Goop to consume two more of the enemy's armaments, further empowering his own weapon.
They clashed at high speeds across the battlefield. While killing Drino still seemed like a distant goal, they were successfully holding their ground together. The demi god’s frustration grew; Vritra refused to let him touch the women, and their constant interference was driving him to the brink of madness.
