Chapter 797 Freya’s Answer
Freya fell on her butt with her eyes wide open and could only stay silent at the sight of her precious child, drowning in his own pool of blood.
The next instant, Freya felt her body move again and felt Allen's presence beside her. However, before she could even face him and ask what's going on, she saw the four Gulliver brothers lunging at Kisuke. Freya raised her hand in an attempt to command them to retreat but her voice couldn't leave her.
As she somehow and fearfully expected, Kisuke's arm holding his blade jerked, producing a subtle flash of light before the brothers were all cut in half in an instant. Their weapons and armors served no purpose to stop the reaper's scythe from claiming their lives.
Freya's remaining thoughts were instantly replaced by an unending regret and asked herself where did she go wrong, '...At least Allen and the rest...'
But even before forming the last of her thoughts, Allen who had been dragging Freya away suddenly lost his footing, and the Goddess, once again, met the ground with her back this time.
As she inadvertently looked up, the sunlight obscured her vision. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough for her to miss a rolling ball in mid-air. Except, it wasn't a ball but Allen's decapitated head filled with terror, 'No...'
"Freya-sama!!!" From afar, Mia Grand's roar reached the bewildered Freya. The Goddess shakily sat up, choosing to ignore the warm blood of her child on her hand, and turned around only to see Kisuke standing menacingly and looking down on her. She didn't know how he's suddenly behind her when she just watched him bisect her children in front of her.
Mia, still in her working uniform, was charging towards Kisuke with a fury-filled expression, "N-No..." Freya tried to warn her not to approach but she's shaking so much that she couldn't muster any strength.
But despite it being incredibly soft, Mia still clearly heard the plea of her Goddess and knew what she wanted. Nevertheless, she couldn't really afford that and released all the strength she had, doubling her speed and almost reaching Kisuke, 'I'm leaving it to you, Anya.'
Kisuke finally ignored Freya and turned towards Mia, just as she wanted. Pouring all her power into her arm, her sleeve bursts open with her arm's expansion. As her fist that looked like an unbreakable boulder descended onto Kisuke, the latter took a stance and also threw his fist towards her own, "Ikkotsu (Single Bone)."
The two fists collided, producing a shockwave that blew all the dust away. Freya was immediately gleeful seeing that Mia wasn't instantly killed... For now, at least.
Mia and Kisuke stared at each other for a second before the former said, "You monst..."
She couldn't finish her words because starting from her fist, her skin started cracking, blood spurting, and flesh being ejected out. A split second later, her flesh and skin were already gone, leaving the bones behind. But even those didn't last any longer as the destruction crawled up to her arm, shoulder, and entire upper body.
Everyone saw how Mia fell into her knees but without her upper body anymore as it was obliterated into nothing.
The sight that Freya caught, however, was Kisuke's bloodied blade extended beside her as another familiar head rolled in front of her, "...Anya..."
While all wasn't still clear for Freya, Kisuke prepared his next move and gathered another ball of energy before tossing it up, "Bala Millar (Thousand Bullets)."
The ball of energy then started releasing smaller balls of lights and launched towards all directions. Instead of the traditional Cero, it was a modified one that releases numerous Bala that automatically seek their targets. Right away, various screams of terrors resounded before being abruptly cut off.
A few seconds later, the ball of energy stopped releasing the smaller bullets and disappeared. But along with it was the suffocating silence and the thick scent of blood that covered the surrounding. Each and every single member of Freya's Familia died without a head.
The ghastly and horrifying sight immediately caused the Elves of the Loki Familia to throw up except for Riveria. Even then, the latter, along with her fellow member's stomach churned as they resisted the urge to release what it contained.
Contrary to everyone's reaction, however, Loki already calmed down because she already saw significant discrepancies to what's happening in front of her.
For Freya, on the other hand, everything happened so fast that she didn't have any time to react properly. For those who are watching her, meanwhile, one would think that she's too calm for someone who has her Familia annihilated. And it's true, she still has a bit of calmness left because she still has a place to retreat and pull the hidden knife under her dress.
It was then that she heard Kisuke's mocking tone, "Before you do that, I suggest you properly look around first, or else you'll only 'go home' with no one really waiting for you."
A bad premonition overtook her... No... It's a premonition that she has been ignoring in an attempt to escape reality, 'W-where!? Where are my children!?'
Freya looked around in panic while using her Divine Eyes. However, the scene of the field filled with her children's colors was nowhere to be found, 'Where!?'
"As you should have already known, I practice soul-based techniques,'' Kisuke started explaining.
"However, unlike the initial attack that destroyed two people's souls, those that I killed after had their souls purified. You should know that purified souls can't stay in a place that will destabilize them so they instantly go to Heaven. And since they are already purified, they won't go to another arduous purification process and would immediately start their reincarnation. As of now, depending on how reliable Heaven's system is, they should be more or less already ready to descend again."
"So even if you kill yourself now to follow and secure them, you already lost your chance."
But as soon as he finished, Kisuke had to jump back and put forward his hand. In that instant, a white light suddenly smashed into him, sending him almost fifty meters into the air. After regaining his balance, Kisuke saw that a falcon feather pierced his palm, 'So this is where the fun starts.'
