Chapter 164: Losing Battle
"It's nice for you to finally join us, do take your seats dears, I'm sure you are hungry, we are going to eat first before we get down to business."
Frigga said, as she mentioned to them to seat down and start eating which they did as some of the God's were already too into eating to notice them or they simply didn't care.
With their stomach field full by the delicious food provided by their host's, the real meeting could begin.
"Now Sekiryuutei, what is that you wanted from us, and what is that you have to tell us?" Odin said after the breakfast was over.
"Yes, Lord Odin, what I want is some information on the whereabouts of the weapon that holds Elsha's soul and if it is possible for you to give us, or to instruct us where to look. As for the other information, I was asked to tell you this.
The Christian Pantheon is going to meet at a still unknown location to me in a month or two. I was asked to tell you that Lord Lucifer Sirzechs would very much like if you would make yourself present for the peace and possibly alliance.
From what I could gather from Lord Lucifer, it looks like that the Christian Patheon would very much like to have Norse faction as their allies, this invitation is also for the Slav faction." Issei told respectively.
"I see, I will tell you my answer in the upcoming days young one about the conference. As for the first part, I know where it is, but since I'm not the supreme god of the Slavs, I can't tell you where to go directly as it would insult them, so you would need to go Slavs first before they themselves decide to give you the all clear, and I can only tell you to whom to go first of them but... first you and your escort need to prove to me and the Gods of Asgard that you are strong enough to see this mission of yours till the end." Odin said calmly, shocking Issei and his group.
Seeing that he didn't have any choice in the matter Issei just nodded his head as he stepped forward a bit.
"Fine by me. I don't care if you hurt me till I'm only a breath away from death, but I will not allow for my friends and people I love to get hurt. So, I will only fight." Issei said as his gear appeared and started boosting his power. While both Odin and Frigga smiled just a tiny bit as his determination to protect and to go all way was easy to see.
"Why you little worm. All of you will fight, don't forget you are in our land and we decide who fights and who not." Thor angrily said as started to make his way towards the young Sekiryuutei.
"And like I said, I don't care if I die here, I will not allow them to fight. Even if you beat the crap out of me and kick me out, I will only train harder and harder until I can match anyone here. And even if that isn't enough, I will even at the cost of my own life to activate that drive. And I'm sure that everyone here knows what happens when its activated." Issei said with determination, as he also started to make his way towards the God of thunder and war. They stopped only a meter or two from each other, both angry at the other. It was a miracle that they didn't attack each other.
To the girls that were with him, it was a mixed emotion scene. While they were extremely happy that Issei will do anything to protect them, hearing him that he will go into Juggernaut Drive was something that made them panic as it was a death warrant for him. So, to stop him Lucy said something that shocked Issei to the core.
"Fine, if that is the wish of God's of Asgard then all of us will fight, name your candidates and we will demolish them, I for one will not stand by and watch my husband and King get ripped apart by battle after battle in my name." Lucy said with fury.
"L-Lucy?" Issei asked in shock.
"She is right Ise, we know that you will go all out without stopping, but we also know that you can go for so long. So, if we have to hurt ourselves to ensure that Elsha is back so be it. Also, we didn't slack around we all train also so we could keep up as much as possible with you." Chelsea said with a smile while Issei looked at them with wide eyes.
"Fine, but if it is too much for you guys surrender." Issei said seeing that he was fighting a losing battle.
While all of this was happening, Odin was very impressed at how the young boy was handling the situation. Sure, what he was doing was disrespectable but at the very same time, it was very honorable.
Defending the girls that were very important to him was a good way for him to see his determination and it was very high something that was in Odin's book a very big plus.
Clearing his through Odin announced the first matchup of this test of power.
"Now settle down all of you. Seeing as the girls decided to go with this test. Sekiryuutei you can pick anyone to fight from your side except you. For you we have someone special. Now Göndul did you decided who is going first? Also, there would be no killing in this competition and your chosen warrior needs to last at least 10 minutes when the 10 minutes are up it will mean that they past. " Odin said calmly as he snapped his fingers transporting everyone to an arena of sorts that looked something like a Colosseum.
"Yes, my Lord. Arnett will go first from our side. After that is Asuna, then Ingrid, Theodora and lastly Rossweisse." Göndul spoke as the girls presented themselves to Issei's group.
