“I have found you my Champion. Your pain has called out to me. I invite you to my world. A world once had been connected to your own. Choose, my Champion, travel to my world and I shall take away your torment or remain in yours.” she had repeated this numerous times until the young man was able to comprehend.
“Hm, no.” replied the young man.
“I see. I am saddened by your rejection. Then, my Champion, farewell and live well.”
A moment of quiet stirred as Angerona turned to Ira.
“Ira~,” whined Angerona, “he said no! After finding the perfect candidate. What am I going to do?”
“Should have just taken him.”
“You know I cannot do such a thing. They must agree freely, otherwise they would resent me or even rebel.”
“Most of the others agreed without being aware.”
“They still agreed.”
As they were bickering, another voice had caught Angerona''s attention.
“Beings from another world, by my right, you are ordered to our world. Come forth!” the voice declared.
“What?! What fool dares to interfere?! This one has made his choice, do not dare sully the judgment of a goddess! My Champion, this is not of my doing, resist this fool who takes your peace-”
“Beings from another world, by my right, you are ordered to our world. Come forth!” once more the voice repeated itself.
Angerona watched as a rift opened around the fires of her chosen champion. One by one, each fire was consumed by the rift. She immediately followed along to search for the source of the summoning ritual.
Once found, she had understood what had occurred. The source of the interloper came from Asphodel, her home planet, and it was by the use of 「Altar Stones」 which had forced an
override on her own ritual. Not only did the Altar ritual annex the circle ritual, it stole Angerona''s mana to increase the size of the rift.
In her fury, she smote the young summoner for daring to violate a god. Immolating him in front of all those present as well as destroying the altar which had offended her.
Consuming what little remained of her mana, Angerona was now wracked with exhaustion. She left to her chambers to recover.
“Did something happen?” Felicitas asked Ira as Angerona disappeared.
“Hm? Probably.”
