79) Chaos

...

3rd Pov

The floor tiles cracked as Ottar fell on them, a small shockwave was released from his fall. People around him were shocked, while Ottar, broke through sound barrier and ran towards the chaos. Aiz's wind has formed a black tornado, Fenrir laid dead on the floor much to everyone's shock, now Aiz's eyes focused on Lefiya.

Finn quickly grabbed her and ran away, attempting to Flee, however Aiz followed them, her wind mercilessly obliterating everything in its path, a few people got into the range of her winds and were shredded apart. She nearly reached Finn when Ottar landed between them," Ottar!", Finn tensed seeing her, the Boar looked at him with indifference before turning towards Aiz.

" Get away!", Aiz shouted as she swung her sword, and Ottar calmly intercepted her attack with his great longsword. " Aiz Wallenstein, my Goddess has decreed for you to stop, and I shall deliver her will!", a terrifying aura released from him. Even Finn could feel the intense pressure from him, ' T-This is a Level 8! ', he thought gravely. 

The difference between Level 8 and Level 7 was as wide as gap between a Level 1 and Level 5. This was something that was revealed when ' The Empress ', reached level 8, easily defeating the rest of her familia on her own. Once she ascended to level 9, her strength again reached a terrifying level, although as not serious as difference between Level 8 and Level 7, the difference between Level 8 and Level 9 was still enormously huge.

That's why Zeus and Hera Familia, decided to take upon the Three Great Quests, and for them to fail against Black Dragon showed the horror of Black Dragon which was estimated to be Level 10. The gap between Level 9 and Level 10 was predicted to be so vast, that the Black Dragon was able to obliterate Hera and Zeus familia, like destroying toys much to the horror of Zald and Alfia.

That's why Finn was serious, he didn't want Ottar to Kill Aiz," Ottar! Don't kill her!", his voice sounded like a plead, it was a request. Ottar replied," My Goddess didn't tell me to kill her", his words eased Finn's worries who quickly ran away. Meanwhile Aiz also halted under the sheer pressure Ottar was releasing, she knew, she had no chances against ottar.

' I will avenge Arthur! ', she said as the tornado surrounding her became even more intense, and disappeared, before reappearing. This time in form of two wings behind Aiz, her eyes filled with darkness and hatred. " Die!", she attacked, their clash sent tremors throughout Orario, the houses in the Daedalus Street crumbled as the shockwaves travelled through them.

(A/N: I mean C'mon, You can totally see daedalus street's houses, which are like made of cards in front of adventurers totally crumbling by a gust of wind right?)

The battle raged on, this time Ottar finding himself in trouble against Aiz,' She is a monster! She can bridge the gaps between our level with her magic alone. Is this the power of Spirits? ', he thought. The two wings behind Aiz moved with such ferocity, that they not only shielded Aiz, but also proved to be an offensive method for Aiz.

Aiz's current state was Dark Fairy, in this state her Spirit blood has fully unleashed itself, granting her partial control over the Wind, and fueled by her hatred it reached an unimaginable state with potential strength of Level 9. That's why she was able to go toe-to-toe with Ottar and slowly started suppressing him.

' This is bad! Her attacks are getting stronger! ', he thought as countless cuts appeared on his bodies, the two black wings behind her, made of wind flapped creating shockwaves that hindered him, and destroyed the nearby buildings. " Damn it!", Allen grunted as he got near the battle, Finn was beside him," It seems we can't even interfere in this battle", Finn said and Allen growled at him.

" Finn! If we don't stop Aiz as soon as possible, the entire Orario might be destroyed!", Gareth said as he came there running. Riveria too arrived here, she bit her lips," I might have to use my Magic to stop her", she was unwilling, she didn't wanted to hurt Aiz anymore. Her attack can potentially kill her, but they needed to act quick otherwise nothing of Orario will be left.

...

A few minutes ago,

" What Miss Aiz has went berserk?!", Lyd said in disbelief as he heard Fels' words," Yes, and the situation is dire- Ottar is trying to stop her but... Things are dire", Fels said, everyone glanced at Arthur who said," It might be because of me- She probably thinks I am dead. To stop her, I must reach to her as soon as possible."

" Thankfully we are in 16th floor's secret safe zone... Thus, it shouldn't take long to reach outside, however each second is precious", Fels said as he looked at Arthur. He was annoyed by him, because of him, a playboy, the situation got so dire. However, he couldn't blame him, "If Miss Ray is to pick me, and fly- It will take at most a few minutes", he said.

" It is impossible! I am a monster! If adventurers were to see me... It will result in chaos ", Ray replied, Arthur said," I know, what I am asking is too much... But if I don't arrive in time, there won't be Oario left. Only I can stop Aiz, Miss Ray I might not be an adventurer- But I swear to protect you with my life- so please."

It was a crazy move, and Fels sighed," Indeed that is the fastest way... Ray please, I will try to control the situation somehow", he said. Ray nodded and said," Fine, let me take you Sir Arthur to Miss Aiz!", it was a crazy move that could expose Xenos, however things were too serious. Aiz Wallenstein, was fighting against Ottar! On Equal terms! Their battle could potentially destroy entire Orario.

Ray grabbed Arthur with her claws and quickly flew, following the route of safe zones from one floor to another, before coming to the normal path at 3rd Floor, some adventurers saw her carrying Arthur, however they weren't able to react as she flew away, as they reached the entrance, they burst through it surprising Guild staff. 

" Monster!", someone screamed and an adventurer tried to stop them, only to pierced by Ray's feathers," Sorry! But it is emergency situation", Arthur said to the man who had become porcupine, and Ray flew towards the sky. " T-This is outside world?", she said surprised as she looked at the distance, then at the sky covered with black clouds.

" Miss Ray, there is Aiz!", Arthur pointed towards a visible torrent of wind, clashing against something at a distance. Her senses screamed death as she witnessed the battle, she knew if she tried to intervene in the fight... She will die. " Quickly! Take me there", his voice broke her stupor and she flew towards it, finally landing at a place. 

" Arthur?!", Riveria said with shock as she looked at him, her voice shifted everyone's focus towards him. " You are alive?!", Lefiya shouted, and Arthur said," Thankfully yes... Despite how you tried to kill me", his words made her shiver. " I-If you are alive- If Aiz knows it! She will stop!", said Lefiya with happiness, and Finn said," But how to tell her? She is berser-"

Arthur jumped from the rooftop much to their shock landing on the ground and ran towards the fight," Arthur! Don't go there!", Ray shouted in despair as the battle moved towards them. Seeing a monster talking others again were surprised, but it wasn't time for that. Arthur soon reached the vortex of calamity. 

" Ottar, you did well- Now let me stop her", his voice reached the Boar's ears who quickly withdrew, giving him a nod before retreating. Meanwhile Aiz stopped, in disbelief as she looked at Arthur, he walked forward and was engulfed by her storm. The winds that could shred metal into dust, barely blew his clothes as he entered the wind.

Aiz meanwhile felt her being pulsing, as her soul mate neared him. Her storm calmed down, and she looked at him shock," I- I thought...*Sniff* You were dead *Sniff* ", she broke into tears as she hugged him. Her clothes were battered, torn at several places revealing injuries, blood stained her clothes. It showed what she went through in last hour.

" There, there... Everything is fine- I am here", he said as he patted her back, her injuries started healing automatically. Aiz cried even louder, hugging him tighter, she made his clothes wet, however he just smiled while consoling her. Seeing Aiz returning to normal, Ottar decided to return to his goddess.

" Ottar", Finn called him, the boar stopped and looked at him, everyone became tensed seeing them looking at each other. " Thanks", Finn finally said, and Ottar turned away," I was just following my Goddess' will", he said and left. The rest of Loki familia arrived at the place, to see Aiz hugging some man. 

A boy with white hair too arrived and looked at the scene in disbelief,' Mi-Miss Aiz... She has someone she likes? ', he thought as Aiz kissed his cheeks in front of everyone. At that moment his heart shattered, and without any courage, he turned back and ran away, while tears poured from his eyes, his first love... it ended, and so his heroic tale before it began. 

" What's happening Finn? Who is that man and why Aiz went berserk... You need to tell us everything", Shakti Varma said to Finn who said," Yes I will tell everything... but for now let's leave them alone", he said. But Shakti Varma's eyes narrowed and she said," Leave them alone? She killed several innocent people, I need answers and before that, I need to apprehend her."

Finn frowned however when she blinked and he looked around seeing the angry faces of the crowd he understood her reason. They needed to take Aiz out of here before the crowd erupts. Usually normal human even daring to attack high level adventurers will be beyond stupid, however it was an angry crowd who gods knows what they lost in the clash.

Normally the blame will fall on the cause of clash, Aiz. After this event Loki familia is bound to take a serious hit on their reputation. They will need to put up and act to somehow tone down the crowd's anger on Aiz. Shakti Varma naturally did this move because it was Aiz, and someone who went toe to toe with Ottar. If she had the power, she would have punished her severely for real. Alas, she can only do a facade, while she did feel extremely angry on Aiz.

This, after signalling Finn, she went towards Arthur and Aiz," Aiz Wallenstein, under the crime of serious harm to life and property of Orario, you are under arrest. Come with us", Shakti said, Arthur gently pulled Aiz as they stood up. Aiz was cradled in his arms, and Arthur's face which was fillled with a smile became strict as he looked at Shakti and he said," I refuse to hand over Aiz, if you want to arrest someone then arrest Lefiya. She is the real reason why Aiz went berserk. She is the real culprit; Aiz is the victim."

Shakti frowned upon hearing his voice and looked at Riveria who nodded and said," Fine she will be apprehended as well, however you two need to come as well ", but Arthur's reply was instant," I refuse!", his words surprised her. Her eyebrows twitched as she said with difficulty," You need to come with us... Don't you see the crowd?", she whispered in the end.

" Yes, I see them... But so, what? My Aiz won't be going behind prison bars", he said, his voice loud and clear. She gritted her teeth,' Damn it! Why he has to make it so hard? ', hearing his words meanwhile crowd erupted in anger. " M-My brother is dead because of her... and now you say she isn't guilty? ", shouted a woman.

" My children are injured because of her! We thought she was a Hero! ", another woman shouted, soon the crowd was filled with anger, and a stone came hurling towards Arthur, hitting his forehead, " Arthur!", Aiz said as she looked at his wound with worry, blood rolled down his eyebrows, however his expression remained unchanged.

" Who did it?! Who?!", she shouted in anger, her voice stopped the frenzy of the crowd which quickly quiet down, as she glared at them. Yes, they were angry, but to go against the preparator of the destruction was but a suicide moves. Suddenly the man that had hit Arthur with stone cried as Norn grabbed him from Neck.

" Father! Here is that bastard who dared to throw stone at you!", she said as she came out of the crowd, the people moved away from her. " She is a member of Minerva Familia, a Level 4", someone said. " Minerva Familia? Who is that?", someone else asked. Finn got a headache, and so did Riveria, Arthur didn't follow their plans and now his daughter was holding someone by neck.

" Miss, let him go", Shakti Varma said but Norn didn't budge, she wanted to destroy the soul of the man and torment him with unimaginable pain. She didn't like how her father, a deity beyond Supreme God had sealed his body to the level of a mortal just because of Aiz wallenstein, and now some has hurt him! Injured him!

It was an insult for a being like him to get hurt by the likes of such lowlifes. If the Sophia Church knew about it, they would have declared the war in this world. She knew that her Mommy Minerva might also get angry enough to destroy the world thousands of times over. That was how big of a sin it was.

Arthur remained silent; he knew his situation well. Although his body was sealed to a prowess of mortal it didn't mean he can't use his abilities, in fact with a single swing of sword from him, using a stick as a sword. The entire solar system will be destroyed, that was with just the use of Ultimate Skill Sword Lord Arios.

His Sword Skills were at the pinnacle of Tensura Verse, meaning he could kill sixth dimensional beings with full power of Sword Lord Arios alone and with a better weapon even a 11th dimensional being. Well, he had switched off physical part of his Pain resistance, so he did feel pain from the bleeding. " Kill him", Aiz said without any emotion. Someone had hurt her Arthur, in front of her! Such a vile thing must be killed without any remorse.

Norn twisted the neck of the person, killing him. The crowd gasped, however this time no one dared to cause an outrage. They were mortals in the end, just a peak Level 1 can easily kill them off, much less a Level 4. Shakti Varma looked at them with a headache, and shook her head, well she tried. " Miss Lefiya, you will be taken under custody", she said to them, and Riveria nodded handing her to Shakti Varma.

" Aiz Wallenstein and... Arthur, you should leave this place", she said as she looked at everyone unkind eyes, staring at them. He nodded and with Aiz, and rest of them left while Finn and Riveria were left to deal with aftermath.

To be continued...

(A/N: I gave got people complaining about the recent chaps... About plot and something.

To be honest, it might be annoying to some people, but to some it might be interesting.

People's opinion differ, and I can't do anything about it, I have stopped listening to the people how to carry out the plot, I might ask opinion as I would like to know what people would like, however I will only write for what I want, from my second fic I have said. Democracy has ended, and Monarchy has started.

This Monarch needs you as much as you need him, however he doesn't needs everyone of you.
