Chapter 233: It Was Easy For Ariel
"But you\'re... human, aren\'t you?" Eve suddenly questioned.
"Yes, I am human. My daughter is a dragon, she took on my and her mother\'s traits when she hatched, and that\'s how she became our daughter," James replied.
Everyone chose to keep their mouths shut, even though they were quite surprised.
With that, the day was over and the sun had set, giving everyone enough time to rest, knowing that all the fighting would stop for at least a few hours.
The hours passed, and everyone managed to find time to rest. After half a day, everything was completely different on Ariel\'s side.
-----
"KUAGH!!!"
Ariel was dragged several metres through the air after the blow and fell to the ground.
She had managed to find the female Fallen God that had escaped from them almost four hours ago, which made everything much easier.
It was really heartwarming that he had been able to get to this thing so easily, something that would normally take him days.
He had managed to find the female Fallen God at the very edge of the empire, indeed they had managed to cover seven thousand kilometres in almost four days without sleeping. The Fallen God was running and Ariel was chasing.
They were both tired. The wounds on the female Fallen God\'s body were clearly visible, and every second black blood fell to the ground. Ariel briefly had the advantage, and that was a very good thing.
After all, Ariel\'s only disadvantage was fatigue from lack of sleep, but since he had managed to stay awake for longer periods of time, he thought that wouldn\'t be a problem either.
Even if he felt a little pain after the blow, no harm had come to him, he was fully prepared for battle.
Once she was on guard, she pulled her blades from her inventory and then charged forward.
The female Fallen God clearly didn\'t expect Ariel to make the first move, which was rather odd. After all, the Fallen God felt that the strength of the woman in front of her was not enough, even if she knew that she was close to James.
In short, the female Fallen God didn\'t even see Ariel as someone who could harm her. The only reason she had run away until now was because she thought there were others with Ariel.
Ariel dashed forward and the Fallen God appeared in front of her, she may have been tired, or she may have been slower than a \'monster\' tier climber like James, but her statuses were weighted towards speed and strength.
This woman was definitely not slow.
Immediately after she appeared in front of the Fallen God, her blades glowed crimson, and then Ariel made her attack.
"SWISH!!!"
A sound like a whip colliding with the air rang in her ears, but it was not the sound of a whip or anything like that.
The aura of Ariel\'s blades was so deep, thin and long that when she struck, the air molecules literally collided with each other.
"KYUAAAAAAAAGGGH!!!"
The female Fallen God\'s screams echoed through the valley they were in, Ariel\'s attack had indeed worked. A huge stab wound had opened right on the female Fallen God\'s chest. The wound was not incredibly deep, but the cut was almost forty or fifty centimetres long.
Ariel had managed to deliver an absolutely incredible attack.
As the female Fallen God struggled on the ground, Ariel prepared for her next attack and was able to execute it in a short time.
She plunged the blade covered with her aura into the Fallen God\'s right leg and pulled it out.
The female Fallen God was really close to dying. Ruby had made this enemy what it was, and Ariel had enough power to finish it off.
Ariel finally stood on top of the female Fallen God, who was covered in blood and unable to move, and then covered her entire body with her aura.
In just a second, she plunged her blades as deep as she could right into the female Fallen God\'s neck.
The Fallen God stopped moving after struggling on the ground for a while, which meant that Ariel had already killed the disgusting female being.
It had been a very long time since another human had succeeded in killing a god after James, however weakened they were.
Ariel was exhausted and suddenly fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Ariel had been in constant motion for exactly four days, hardly ever stopping and hardly ever even stopping to run, yet she could breathe properly now.
At that very moment, a glow appeared in front of her eyes. Ariel actually covered her eyes with her hands because of the brightness, and after a few seconds, as the light disappeared, she took her hands away from her eyes.
She was incredibly shocked by what she saw.
"Fuck off mate!" Ariel shouted.

James and the army behind him waited calmly in front of the gate. With a strange feeling, James realised that the lock on the gate was beginning to open and so he had Eve give the order to gather the whole army together in an emergency assembly.
The war was about to start again and everything was at stake again.
James and the others were stressed of course, troop numbers were down considerably, almost half, and this increased the danger, as it was already known that the monsters coming out of the gateway had to be prevented from travelling to the settlements, no matter how far away they were.
"All hands at the ready," James suddenly said, and as the nobles heard these words, rows and rows of orders began to sound and fade into the distance.
Now the battle was on.
