@Arberyst
The most powerful attack is useless if it doesn't hit the target. Hogni also mentions that all of his magics are short ranged so it won't help. I think it was demonstrated for a difference in strengh not speed.
A super Boosted Bell haved the speed adventage against Ottar & Allen was still closing the distance with that same Bell before his DA Escape activate. the raction speed is a matter of perception & Allen Level 5 sense simply weren't enought to follow Zald speed who is at level 8.

When it's Bell & the narration who said the same thing it's a fact, don't maki like it was only mentionned in MS beside Loki Familia level up doesn't change this rule because they are not longer at the same level if your argument is but they progressed faster that was not the question.
Ottar didn't called his memory of Zeus & Hera an advantage but something the younger generation is lacking & from Ottar judgement Ais was overestimation her own skill when fighting people
7 from the 1st invasion + those who have died in the last battle, I don't call that a small portion, they have lose more than current total member of the Hestia Familia & do
Really you think it wouldn't have been better to not lose those guy in top of leveling up ? From Danmemo we see that Line had she survive would have drastically imporve her healing ability to the point even Airmid considered she is on par with her when it come of dispelling curse, do you seriously not call it wasted potential ? All for just a single step above that wont even last till the end of the years ?
Can you now list the remaining Familia ? Because if Loki & Freya are equal & are suppresing each other that mean the remaining Familia would be free to run arround without issue rather than being confirme at the gate door.
We are talking of Bell, his is so green he bartely grasping that & for Alfia wasn't the goal of her magic & equipement to constrain everything internally, even Vito noted he would have douted Alfia even existed if it wasn't seeing her with his own eyes.
As for the Gulliever they weren't paying attention considering it was just apate Familia old methode of give curse to drugged people again which given their are effectivly cursed wasn't a wrong assumtion additionnaly with just see Bell using a curse item to hide his himself in MS 19.
A public secret & a real secret are differents thing look at Knossos or the Xenos many more poeple have become aware of their existence but that made them public knowledge.
I have not issue because Riveria is a dediated mage while Hedin is a magic swordman who was already like a level 1 even without a Falna, They simple play in different categories it's just like asking who will win in close combat between Lefiya & Aisha meanwhile for Bell & Van they are more the dedicated Warrior type so of course their are to be something that counter Bell circumstance to give Van a victory & i am simply partisant of the skill theory because it suite the Freya Familia narrative.
So you are interpreting this as Finn agreeing with Loki ? From my perspective it was Loki boosting only for Finn to give her an the appropriate wake up call to prevent Loki from be overconfident which is in raccord with Loki personnality & this wake is that even her dreamed situation won't last long. Also in the same scene Finn expressed his worry about FF next action so clearly only Loki was thinking of them lightly.
You mean like when he used against Udeaus ? it used his magic to force Mia action & was even show later Ottar hasn't used all his power, I call that strategy nothing more.
When you said level 6 you talk about the level boosted or the status update Bell , because this fight has being a constant pwer increase so be precise.
Also Ottar didn't combine his magic with Beastification like he do against Zald.
1) They also have other ability the Trio doesn't have.
2) Bell & Ryuu already done that before & Hedin can predict their actions, the only real flaw come from him coordinating with Mia.
3) Yeah Ottar has also year of experience deal with an even more perfect teamwork than the trio while at the same time dealing with other absurdly powerfull guys. From AR his time last far longer than Ais time limite. additionnally Riveria can't reproduce Hedin formation.
4) Level boosting ability only confirmed when having high stats not low stats & isn't even able to allow him to rival Gareth strenght.
Let see firstly, the not killing rule from Freya which as the sole reason this batlle lasted this long & missed so many oppotunity to end them when Ottar in his base base is already enought to instant kill Ais with Ariel in a single blow which is still a better endurance than Riveria, the formation that Riveria can't replicated with the additionnal mention an all out magic attack would be the less optimal strategy she also need a minute to finisher her casting chant while Bell is instant & Ryuu and Hedin doesn't take more than 10 seconds with the fact she has her mind capacity is, the magic who was the perfect counter against Ottar absolute defense & the sole reason he didn't cancel his beatification & rebuild the absolut defense, plus the other innate difference between Ariel & Laurus hildr, Argonaut, the limit off, all of that combine + Luck on their side,
