Chapter 795 Obliterated
Through the windows, Loki and her executives watched as Ottar, along with his fellow Freya Familia members approached Kisuke who's waiting for them on the main gates of the Twilight Manor.
Fifteen meters before they reached the gates, the Freya Familia stopped their advance while Ottar took a few steps forward, "I see that you've already anticipated us."
"You've been making such a big ruckus, of course I'll notice it.", Kisuke just shrugged his shoulders and also took a few steps forward. While doing so, Kisuke also did a quick scan of his surroundings and found Freya in the building not far from the Manor, overlooking the scene, 'A cloak imbued with Anti-Recognition Magic, huh... From the looks of it, Loki-sama, Hermes, Hephaestus-sama, and Ouranos-sama really didn't let out even a single useful piece of information to her about us. If she knew what I can really do, or suspected even a bit of it, she wouldn't take this drastic measure.'
Ottar became silent for a few moments before continuing while letting out a bit of his bloodlust, "That's good. Now come with us. Freya-sama would like to meet you."
"And what? Be subjected to the same brainwashing as everyone within this city? Did you think I'm that stupid?", Kisuke smirked at him and took a token from his sleeve before tossing it up. As soon as the token reached its zenith, a large and complicated Magic Circle expanded and covered the entire Twilight Manor and nearby buildings.
However, before its effects could be felt, Freya's silver eyes from afar lit in violet light and the Magic Circle was instantly crushed into many pieces, 'He tried to activate a large scale illusion Magic? Good thing I personally came.'
Kisuke's eyes widened as he watched the motes of light disappear into nothingness, "I didn't think that you'd have a Magician capable of nullifying my Magic instantly. It looks like I've underestimated you all." He then looked back to Ottar who already prepared his weapon, "I can definitely tell that you won't be taking 'no' for an answer."
Ottar didn't say anything more and swung down his sword at Kisuke. Ottar's mastery of his Ki is way above those of Loki Familia. So much so that no one from the Loki Familia who are watching from the Manor could see the trajectory of the greatsword. It's as if Ottar's weapon instantly teleported from his back to the floor.
Kisuke meanwhile, dodged the attack by jumping backward but the force that destroyed the pavement and gate sent clouds of dirt everywhere, covering his sights.
Even then, without looking, Kisuke raised his left hand and grabbed the spear that emerged from the screen of dust aiming for his neck. But as he pulled on it, he couldn't feel any resistance anymore. Allen Fromel, with a split-second decision, decided to abandon his weapon out of fear of an incoming counterattack.
Before Kisuke even arrived in Orario, the top members of the Freya Familia already decided on the basic strategy against him. Thanks to Ki, they were a lot stronger and sturdier than before. However, they are still sure that nobody, aside from Ottar, could take on Kisuke's simple kick that took out the former before.
As such, if there would be a time where they'll go against him, the only viable option is a hit-and-run tactic composed of everyone in the Familia.
Immediately after, eight throwing axes came flying in from all directions. Using the spear that he was left with, Kisuke deflected four of them back. As for the remaining four, Kisuke caught two of them with his free arm and threw them back while the other two were kicked away. In the process, Kisuke was able to leave the smokescreen.
No more attacks came after him so he waited for the dust to settle.
As soon as the view was cleared, The Loki Familia saw that their gates were already obliterated and the walls had already collapsed. While Kisuke didn't sustain any sort of damage, they saw that two of the Gulliver brothers were being treated by high-class potions as one of them had a large cut on his flank while the other almost had his arm severed.
"Just what happened within that cloud of dust? Within the span of two seconds, two were already severely injured.", asked Tiona.
"Considering the placement of the weapons, I could safely assume that they all tried to sneak an attack at him but they were all countered or blocked by Kisuke Urahara with ease. We've still clearly underestimated him.", answered Finn.
Riveria, on the contrary, was more curious with their motives, "But why are they after him?"
"Because he's an extreme threat to Freya's ideals.", Loki answered, but she didn't elucidate any further.
On the battlefield, Kisuke put the spear on his shoulder and fixed his hat with his free hand, "You're really putting me on the spot here. Can't you just bring your Goddess here and have a talk with me?" The smile on his face already disappeared.
Ottar and the rest didn't say anything. They could indeed do as he said, however, to create an advantageous position for their Goddess, they wanted to exhaust his options first. They could also have Freya use the full force of her charm against him but it was their Goddess' wish not to use it on him as much as possible. They don't know why he needs different treatment from the others, but they didn't have the time to think about that now as they were putting their lives on the line just in an attempt to capture him.
Kisuke already expected their reactions but still couldn't help but sigh heavily, "Haaahh... Really... You're giving me no choice here. Aren't you afraid that I'll just escape here and assault your Goddess? You do know that I have the ability to easily do that."
Everyone from the Freya Familia became tense. If Kisuke was really able to get hold of Freya, there would be no way for them to get her back and they could only leave it to Freya to charm him. However, their pride won't allow such a thing to happen much less the potential danger she'd be put in his hands.
"We're aware of what you can do. Of course, we've prepared appropriately for it too." Ottar then gave his signal to Hogni Ragnar and Hedin Selland who are staying with the other Familia members surrounding the Manor.
A few seconds later, a gigantic Magic Circle manifested in the sky and formed a strong barrier that covered the entirety of the area where the Twilight Manor is located.
"T-this is!? Such an overwhelming amount of Magic Power!", Riveria exclaimed, "But how!?"
Kisuke gave it a glance and commented, "Hooh? A barrier that's shaving off their own lifespan, huh? I'm surprised they were able to devise such a thing, but this is also essentially sacrificing their lives for my capture. I honestly feel honored."
"With this, there's nowhere for you to run away anymore since even if all of us tried bashing through this barrier, it would still take us a few hours to breach it." Ottar and those behind him got ready once again.
But before they could initiate their attack, they were all frozen on their spot as a wave of bloodlust they'd never experienced before washed over them and spread through their entire ranks. Kisuke's casual demeanor instantly disappeared and it was replaced by eyes that seemed to be looking at dead people.
"It seems that you guys are misunderstanding something. I'm not trapped here with you, but you're trapped here in me. And did you think that such a flimsy barrier was really enough to stop me?"
Ottar's instincts and experiences were shouting at him to run away, 'We've still severely underestimated him!?' He looked around and saw his members were also experiencing something similar and couldn't move from their spot, 'We have to gain an initiative!', Ottar thought as he tried to lead an attack.
Freya was also extremely shocked at what she's seeing as they seemingly triggered something within him, 'This is bad!'
Nevertheless, before Ottar could move or Freya could give her orders to retreat, Kisuke pointed his finger towards the top of the Babel while saying, "Really... This has become extremely annoying. If you don't want to talk without suppressing me, then we don't need that talk in the first place."
A small ball of green energy gathered on his fingertip but despite the underwhelming sight, it gave an incomparable dread to everyone, including the Goddesses present, "To start, I'll take her out of the equation. Cero."
The ball of energy instantly transformed into a beam, going through the barrier as if it was a thin piece of paper, and reached the top of Babel, entirely annihilating its top floor where Freya and Bell are supposed to be staying.
