The Sekirei’s Covenant

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting! Goddess Athena, now that you have regained your divine power, you shall be my opponent as my enemy!"

No one expected this sudden change. Perseus was the first to recover and laughed heartily, swinging his long sword and pointing at Athena.

Since the divine beast dragon had been absorbed by Athena, but he was still unsatisfied with the fight, he would let the restored goddess Athena take its place.

"Oh… Perseus, you steel-attribute gods are as arrogant as ever!"

"I'm willing to fight you, but first, you should spar with this godslayer. If you can't even defeat him, you have no right to fight me."

Restoring the dignity of the sunset goddess, Athena smiled confidently and proudly, her bright eyes shining with divine wisdom.

Although she had regained her power and was determined to take revenge on the detestable Kusanagi Sora, the clever Athena was not foolish enough to charge in recklessly. Despite Sora being an extremely evil demon king, Athena had to admit his strength. Even with her restored power, she was not confident.

But if Perseus, the fool, fought him first, and then she joined later…

Well, a faint blush appeared on her icy face. As a proud queen, she felt ashamed to use such a dirty trick.

But to defeat the detestable Kusanagi Sora, she accepted it!!!

"Fight this godslayer boy? Fine, let's do it!"

"Young godslayer, in the name of the hero Perseus, I challenge you. Come, fight me!"

Though Athena's tone was somewhat provocative, Perseus didn't think too much about it. After all, both the godslayer and the Earth Mother Goddess Athena were his enemies, and he had to fight them both. It made no difference who he fought first.

Sora twitched his mouth, too lazy to bother with Perseus, the carefree god who wasted a handsome face, and instead fixed his gaze on Athena.

"Athena, you heartless creature! As soon as you regain your strength, you turn your back on me? Have you forgotten who feeds and takes care of you every day? You even dared to incite that foolish god to go after me. Are you planning to take advantage of the situation later?"

"Just you wait! This time when I catch you, not only will I cut off your rations, but I'll also give you a good spanking!"

Facing Athena, Sora said fiercely with a grim expression.

Recalling what had happened before, Sora knew very well that he had been fooled by this little girl!

One could only say that Athena truly deserved her reputation as the goddess of wisdom—she was incredibly clever. She straightforwardly told him the truth about coming to check on something, and with a righteous tone, persuaded him to save the dragon to help her regain her power.

Feeling extremely frustrated, Sora decided that this time he would give this little girl a harsh spanking to teach her a lesson, so she wouldn't be so disobedient in the future!

"Hmph, despicable Kusanagi Sora, the shame you brought upon me will never be forgotten!"

"Do you think you'll have another chance to catch me? I will never make the same mistake again, and I will return everything you have imposed on me!"

Slightly embarrassed but then resolute, Athena's expression hardened. She had sworn countless times in her heart that once she regained her freedom, she would make the detestable Kusanagi Sora pay!

"Uh, return everything I imposed on you? Do you mean you want to keep me like your teddy bear?"

"If that's the case, I might as well surrender and let you take revenge. But can your little body really hold me?"

With a surprised look, suddenly realizing something, Sora blushed slightly and said.

Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought Athena had such a preference? Turns out she and I are kindred spirits!

Athena was dumbfounded. She never expected Sora to say such shameless things, suggesting she treat him like a teddy bear to be cared for. The image of her small frame holding Kusanagi Sora flashed in her mind, and even her icy face instantly flushed red.

Such shamelessness—Athena would never allow it!

"Get lost!!!"

Forgetting her dignity as a goddess, Athena shouted at Sora in a mix of anger and embarrassment.

"Perseus, what are you waiting for? If you want to fight me, then defeat this godslayer quickly!"

"Hmph, let me make it clear: I only want to use you to drain his power. Dare to make a move? If not, disappear from my sight!"

Athena had lost her patience and spoke to Perseus without hiding her intentions.

Well, I have to admit this little girl is incredibly clever. Even at a time like this, she still shows her wisdom. Sora felt a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment—

"Hahaha… Interesting, very interesting! Goddess Athena, since you've said it like that, if I retreat now, it would damage my heroic reputation."

"Come on, godslayer, for the sake of my heroic name and for Goddess Athena's revenge, fight me!"

Bursting with fighting spirit, Perseus swung his longsword at Sora with an unyielding tone.

Sora's eye twitched wildly. Looking at this carefree and adorable guy, he really felt like kicking him to death.

Well, let's fight then. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Whether you're the hero Perseus or the wise goddess Athena, I'm in a bad mood now, and I'm going to beat you up!

"Liliana-san, it's going to get dangerous here soon. Protect yourself and step back for now."

Sword raised before him, Sora faced Perseus but didn't forget to speak to the stunned knight girl Liliana.

Her head spinning, Liliana was completely confused about the situation. But one thing she understood clearly: both Goddess Athena and Hero Perseus had now targeted Kusanagi Sora, and the situation was very bad!

"No! I am Knight Liliana Kranjcar, and I will never back down."

"Though it may sound arrogant, King Kusanagi, please allow me to fight alongside you!"

Snapping back to her senses, Liliana refused without hesitation.

Though these demon kings were willful, they were humanity's greatest protectors. If one king fell, it would be a huge loss for all mankind!

Though King Kusanagi was somewhat evil, looking at the silver-glowing ring on her hand, the girl subconsciously wanted to fight alongside him.

Well, while admiring and moved by this knight girl's resolve, Sora was quite speechless. He was already being watched by two great deities, and now this little girl wanted to join the fray?!

However, just as Sora was troubled about how to persuade Liliana to step back, Athena suddenly stepped forward—

"Witch, this is a battle between gods and demon kings. It's not for you to participate in. Step back, or I won't be so polite."

In an instant, Athena appeared before Liliana, summoning her weapon, the Reaper's Scythe, and coldly placed it at the girl's neck.

"Athena!!!"

"If you don't want me to really get angry, you'd better not do anything foolish!"

Seeing Athena hold the scythe to Liliana's neck, Sora's anger flared, and he said in a low, stern voice.

Seeing Sora like this, both Athena and Liliana were shaken. Especially Athena, a flicker of panic flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously dared not defy Sora's will.

"Hmph, I have no interest in these mortals!"

With a cold snort, Athena withdrew her Reaper's Scythe. For some reason, she felt a strange sense of grievance.

Damn Kusanagi Sora, how dare you be fierce with me just for a human witch? I'll remember this!

In another instant, Athena appeared high in the distance, deciding that once Perseus had drained Kusanagi Sora's strength enough, she would strike and take her revenge on this detestable fellow!

"Liliana-san, step back. I don't want to say it twice."

Sora regretted losing his temper with Athena earlier. Taking a deep breath, he ordered Liliana to retreat.

Well, whatever, it's all that restless little girl's fault. At worst, I'll just be gentler when I spank her after I catch her. Shaking his head, Sora stopped thinking about it.

"King Kusanagi, I wish you great fortune in battle!"

Feeling a strange emotion, Liliana looked deeply at Sora, gave a proper knight's salute, and no longer insisted, leaping back to the side.

Turning his gaze back to Perseus, who was smiling politely, Sora decided to give this guy a good beating!
