"The Six Rings of the Sprites"
Drake clearly heard the chant and sensed the immense magical power.
In Drake’s memory, Dionysus’s plan was based on the artificial labyrinth Ouranos.
But knowing his plan might be exposed, Dionysus had moved the Fallen Sprite avatars to the surface.
Drake sighed; they needed to finish this quickly.
He kicked Filvis Challia away, exhaling white breath.
"[Four Symbols Fist Technique, Pinnacle—Kirin Technique!]"
The flames around Drake intensified; to Filvis Challia, he seemed to have transformed into a primordial beast, primal fear stiffening her muscles.
Drake rarely used the Kirin Technique in battle; unlike Kurogane Ichika, who needed One-Sword Asura to fight evenly, Drake found the Kirin Technique less engaging.
Now, Filvis Challia couldn’t predict Drake’s movements. But she reacted instinctively.
"[Raise the Cup as a Shield, Shatter the Evil Chalice! Supreme God—Savior’s Holy Grail!]"
The barrier appeared as Drake closed in, striking it.
Crack! Crack!
Filvis Challia was horrified; the Savior’s Holy Grail barrier shattered like glass.
Filvis Challia, its user, knew its power; it had never been broken before.
But it couldn’t withstand Drake using the Kirin Technique.
Drake forced his arm through, nearing Filvis Challia.
Filvis Challia retreated, trying to avoid Drake. She sensed that directly confronting his attacks would be disastrous.
But she was met with raging flames; she crossed her arms, her monstrous body enduring the heat.
After unleashing Fire Dragon’s Blazing Flames, Drake closed in, shattering Filvis Challia’s charred arms and piercing her chest.
Filvis Challia showed pain, then a relieved smile.
Drake said nothing; his hand, through her chest, crushed her magic stone.
Filvis Challia, with that relieved smile, turned to light particles.
Dionysus, surrounded by the Loki Familia’s elite, looked smug.
Drake approached, nodding to Finn, signaling victory.
Dionysus showed a hint of sadness. "So, Filvis Challia got her wish."
Drake said coldly, "Stop the theatrics. I felt no emotion from you."
The sadness vanished from Dionysus’s face. He looked at Drake. "Unexpected. You’re the most interesting one."
Finn said, "Enough. What did you do?"
Dionysus sighed. "I planned to guide you step by step. Unfortunately, the plan went awry; it lacks excitement."
He took a leather scroll from his chest, showing its contents.
The drawing showed six humanoids in a circle; in the center, a dragon-like creature.
"I planned to place this in the artificial labyrinth as your reward. It’s Orario’s unknown history."
Drake interrupted his theatrics. "It’s the Six Rings of the Sprites!"
Dionysus was surprised. "You know about the Six Rings of the Sprites? Gods only care about humanity’s defiance of fate—heroic deeds.
This history has no heroes; it’s lost to time. I didn’t expect anyone to know."
Dionysus couldn’t guess Drake’s source.
As Dionysus said, history is mostly told as fairy tales and legends.
And those legends feature heroes; events without heroes are forgotten.
But someone in this era knew: Bell Cranel.
Bell’s grandfather was Zeus, an ancient god who walked the human world.
And Bell’s childhood books were drawn by Zeus—they weren’t picture books; they were historical texts.
Finn said, "The Six Rings of the Sprites? What is it?"
Drake answered, "Before the Age of Gods, a powerful monster emerged from the Dungeon: Nidhogg.
It was unstoppable. As humanity faced defeat, six primordial Great Sprites combined to use the Six Rings of the Sprites, a super-magic, to kill Nidhogg.
Even with only Fallen Sprite avatars, that super-magic might be recreated."
Finn gripped his spear. "We must stop this; Orario cannot be destroyed."
Drake sneered. "But that’s not Dionysus’s... or rather, Enyo’s plan."
Dionysus’s composure vanished, replaced by gloom.
"Oh? What is my plan, then?"
Drake said, "Using the name Enyo, you wouldn’t destroy Orario with a magic that once saved it.
Remember, the drawing shows more than Sprites. It shows Nidhogg, the dragon that almost destroyed Orario a thousand years ago."
Drake had tried to understand Dionysus’s motives, but his psychopathic thought process was too difficult.
Drake concluded that Dionysus was a ritualistic villain.
He didn’t want to use the Six Rings to destroy Orario; he planned to recreate Nidhogg using a Fallen Sprite.
Ignoring Dionysus’s grim expression, Drake turned to Finn. "You should be prepared for this, right?"
Finn nodded. "Freya’s and Ganesha’s Familias should be acting. But I didn’t expect Enyo’s plan to be this."
Drake said, "I know where Nidhogg is. Shall we complete what the ancient heroes couldn’t?"
Finn said, "Of course! We can’t miss this opportunity!
As for Dionysus-sama, come with us! Witness how we crush your plan!"
