It took Leon and the others a week to return to the surface.
During this period, there were no unexpected incidents like in the original story.
This time, with Leon tagging along, although the large army still faced an attack, Leon healed all the poisoned people with the Gate of Heaven.
So the journey was not affected. They returned to the ground very smoothly.
The return of the Loki familia naturally attracted some attention.
Adventurers and residents stood on both sides of the street, whispering and discussing.
Leon also naturally attracted great attention. Many adventurers and residents discussed about him without concealing it.
However, whether it was the Loki familia or Leon or the others, they did not care about the discussion, ignoring these people
At an intersection, Leon separated from Finn and the others.
As for the harvest, everyone agreed to go to the Twilight Manor tomorrow to discuss the division.
After leaving the main force, Leon rushed straight to the library.
However, after returning to the library, he was slightly stunned.
Because a group of people had gathered in the library at this moment.
In addition to Hestia, Hephaestus, Miach, Naaza, Takemikazuchi and his familia members, Hermes and Asfi were also there.
"What happened?" Leon asked with some surprise.
"Leon, you are finally back!!!"
"Great, Leon, help me bring Belle and the others back!" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
Hestia threw herself into Leon's arms excitedly, looking at him with tears in her eyes, and said loudly.
Leon was stunned, and then his eyes swept over the others, and one thing emerged in his mind.
"Belle is trapped in the middle floors?" He tentatively confirmed.
"Yes, Belle and Lily decided to explore the middle floors yesterday morning, but..." Hestia nodded repeatedly and explained.
After listening to Hestia's words, Leon put his hand on his forehead.
Why are things related to Belle still progressing according to the original route?
Even though things have changed so much, Belle was still duped by the Takemikazuchi familia.
"I'm very sorry, it's all my fault for not disciplining them." Takemikazuchi apologized with a shameful look.
Mikoto and the others, who were behind him were also ashamed.
Leon didn't answer, but walked to Kashima Ouka with a calm face, looking at him quietly.
Being stared at by Leon, cold sweat appeared on Ouka's forehead, but he didn't avoid Leon's eyes, looking straight at him.
Seeing Leon's actions, the others present dared not speak or make any moves.
Mikoto was about to speak, but was interrupted by Leon halfway through.
Mikoto's expression froze, and she dared not make a sound again.
The next second, Ouka suddenly flew out of the library, and bounced several times on the street before stopping. He lied on the ground, vomiting blood.
The people around were frightened, quickly hiding far away, not daring to get close at all.
In the library, everyone was shocked, and the members of the Takemikazuchi familia were all panicked.
Takemikazuchi didn't do anything. Although he couldn't bear it, he didn't say anything.
"Hestia has forgiven you, but I haven't."
"I watched Belle grow up."
"But since Hestia has forgiven you, I won't do anything. This blow is a lesson for you."
Leon said lightly, looking at Ouka lying on the street and vomiting blood.
Hestia obviously didn't want the two familias to become enemies because of this incident, so Leon wouldn't interfere with Hestia's approach.
However, although he didn't plan to interfere, that didn't mean he wouldn't do anything.
He was the one who had recommended Belle to Hestia. He even went to the Loki familia to find her a mentor. Leon had spent a lot of effort on Belle.
Ouka transferred the attention of the monsters to Belle, causing her to be in grave danger.
To be honest, if it weren't for Hestia, Leon would probably kill Ouka.
Takemikazuchi obviously didn't have any opinion on Leon's approach. He didn't say anything when he saw him beat Ouka.
"I'll bring Belle back later."
After teaching Ouka a small lesson, Leon smiled and promised Hestia.
Even if Belle and the others are already dead by now, Leon can still revive them.
Of course, if possible, Leon didn't want them to get into trouble.
Just like before on the 59th floor, even though he had the ability to revive Ais and the others, he still tried his best to kill the Juggernaut.
Who would want the people around them to die?
Even if they can be resurrected, dying is a pleasant experience.
"Sorry for causing you trouble."
Hearing Leon's words, Takemikazuchi spoke again and thanked him.
"No need." Leon shook his head.
"Hermes, I have Leon now. I don't need your help, go away."
Hearing Leon's agreement, Hestia burst into tears of joy. She then turned around and looked at Hermes unhappily, driving him away with disdain.
"Don't say that, Hestia."
Hermes was a little embarrassed at this moment, and said with a dry laugh.
"By the way, Leon, can you take me with you?"
"I haven't seen what the dungeon is like yet."
"Fine, I'll take you down if you want to go." Leon looked at Hermes and nodded after some thought.
To be honest, Leon was thinking about setting off and bringing the three back as quickly as possible.
However, thinking of Hermes' plan in the original story, Leon chose to go with the flow.
Anyway, as long as he's alive, there's no need to worry about Hestia getting hurt.
Since he had decided to let things progress according to the original story, he had to wait until late at night.
After all, there are no guards in front of the Tower of Babel at that time, making it possible for gods to go into the dungeon.
At late at night, Leon and his party appeared in front of the Tower of Babel.
Although Hestia said that Hermes didn't need to follow, Hermes insisted on acting together.
Leon knew that Hermes wanted to test Belle's heroic potential. So, he didn't refuse Hermes' companionship.
Leon didn't mind letting Belle get at stronger.
Of course, letting Hermes use Hestia to carry out the plan like in the original story is absolutely impossible.
If Hermes has any such idea, Leon will beat him to a pulp.
In addition, Takemikazuchi also let Ouka and Mikoto follow him to atone for their sins, just like in the original story.
Leon did not refuse Takemikazuchi's approach. If they want to go, go. It doesn't matter.
