Telskyura Kingdom?
"What the hell is that?"
Eiji looked utterly bewildered.
Having only a superficial understanding of Orario, he knew nothing about the kingdoms beyond its walls. Orario itself was entirely closed off, making outside information difficult to come by.
"It's a peninsular nation located southeast of Orario..."
While Tione and Tiona confronted Goddess Kali, Amid explained the details to Eiji.
To the southeast of the continent lay a landmass surrounded by sea on three sides. Though connected to the mainland, sheer cliffs isolated it, making it an extremely insular peninsular nation.
Yet this country was quite renowned worldwide—much like the Rakia Kingdom ruled by the War God Ares—as a complete deity-led Familia state.
Goddess Kali was its sovereign ruler.
Moreover, it was an Amazon-dominated realm.
In this nation called Telskyura, only Amazons held human rights. All other races—whether human, elf, dwarf, or beastman—were enslaved by the Amazons, treated as breeding stock.
Most crucially...
It was an extraordinarily savage land.
"They say the air is perpetually filled with roars and cheers, its people endlessly immersed in bloodshed and conflict... It's known as the Holy Land of Warrior Women."
This state of affairs was, of course, the result of the goddess's policies.
Despite her petite, masked appearance, Kali was the undisputed Goddess of War and Slaughter!
Naturally, this deity reveled in warfare and carnage. She decreed that her Amazons must battle daily, spilling blood to satiate her solitary pleasure.
"Tiona and Tione joined Loki Familia five years ago. They arrived from outside Orario as Level 3 adventurers, challenging numerous Familias with the declaration that they'd only join whoever defeated them... It caused quite a stir at the time."
Airmid leaned closer, whispering into Eiji's ear.
Clearly, she didn't want the sisters to overhear.
Though her cheeks bore a faint blush.
"So Tiona and Tione are originally from Telskyura Kingdom?"
Eiji mused thoughtfully.
"Judging by their reaction, most likely."
Amid nodded quietly.
And now, after five years, they stood face-to-face with their former patron deity once more.
"Ohoho, I know all about your exploits."
The masked goddess clapped her hands, laughing delightedly.
"After leaving my kingdom, you wandered before joining Loki Familia, didn't you? The names 'Great Machete' and 'Angry Serpent' have spread worldwide—even reached my isolated realm! Both Level 5 now? You haven't disgraced me. Splendid!"
"Stop acting like you own us!"
Tione—usually so composed—now wore undisguised revulsion.
"We've severed all ties with Kali Familia!"
Tiona also remained silent, her expression showing she agreed with her sister's words.
"Ahahahaha! How naive!"
The loli goddess threw her head back in wild laughter. "You were born from my Familia, infused with the essence of battle from birth. Do you really think you can escape so easily?"
Clap clap!
She leisurely clapped her hands.
"Lady Kali, you called for us?"
Two gusts of violent wind swept into the hall.
Amidst the startled cries of the Dian Cecht Familia members, two scantily clad women appeared before Kali, kneeling respectfully before her.
Both women shared the same crimson hair.
The slightly taller one had long red hair tied into a serpent-like braid, her chest so voluptuous it rivaled Tione's.
The slightly shorter one had a sharp red bob, her face as cold as ice, not uttering a word even in Kali's presence—her chest even more ample than her companion's.
"Argana?"
"Bache?"
Tione and Tiona both paled.
These two brown-skinned beauties, clad only in sports bras and shorts, were unmistakably Amazons.
"Oh? Well now... what a pleasant surprise!"
Hearing the exclamations, Argana turned around, her face twisting into a wicked grin. Her long tongue licked her dry lips as she stared at Tione with undisguised excitement.
Bache's eyes flickered as she cast an icy gaze toward Tiona.
"Capture them!"
Kali commanded, her masked face brimming with arrogance.
"I'll take them back and make them understand—my Familia is where they truly belong!"
"Yes!"
The wicked Argana and the icy Bache both stepped forward in unison.
"...Please don't fight here."
Amidst the tension, Airmid's face tightened with urgency as she stepped forward to intervene.
This shop was the Dian Cecht Familia's stronghold, filled with precious potions—the very lifeblood of their Familia.
"Hmm? Is that so?"
Kali paused briefly, then chuckled lightly.
"Fine. Then we'll just destroy this place too and take Airmid with us! That fat old pig Dian Cecht wouldn't dare say a word to me!"
This goddess!
She was too domineering!
Airmid's face turned deathly pale, her already fair complexion growing even whiter.
Crash!
Argana lunged forward, her long legs shattering the floor beneath her as she threw a punch like a cannonball straight at Tione!
At the same time, the cold Bache erupted with battle intent, darting toward Tiona with lethal precision!
Facing them, Tiona and Tione exchanged a glance, nodding in silent agreement.
Then, in unison, they turned and bolted for the exit.
"Don't run!"
"After them!"
Argana and Bache roared, charging into the streets outside.
"Let's go too!"
Eiji followed closely, with Airmid right behind him.
Only then did the shop's occupants exhale in relief, scrambling to secure their valuable merchandise.
...
"What's going on?"
"Aren't those the Amazon sisters from Loki Familia?"
"Are they fighting someone?"
Northwest Street was famously known as the adventurer's district, bustling with shops selling weapons, equipment, potions, and other essential adventurer supplies. As such, it was always crowded with adventurers coming and going.
At this moment, the appearance of four Amazons on the street sent waves of palpable hostility through the air. Sensing the fierce battle intent, the surrounding adventurers quickly stepped aside, watching the unfolding confrontation with astonishment.
Once they had retreated into the open street, Tiona and Tione no longer had to worry about their surroundings. They clenched their fists and immediately swung around, launching a fierce attack at the two figures behind them!
