Chapter 145 - Heading out

Hestia stared blankly.

This... What's the situation?

However, the person involved seemed not to have noticed that Hestia was next to her.

"Sure enough, you are the hunter who is destined to meet me." Artemis's eyes are soft, and she spoke without aversion to men when they first met.

And the move of Artemis hugging him made Miyuki somewhat unexpected

But it's relieved to think about it.

The gods of the dungeon are different from the high gods in other myths.

They lowered their status and lived with ordinary children.

No matter whether you are poor or rich, your original intention remains the same.

It is said that Mikoto and Chigusa sneaked Haruhime out of the mansion, and after being discovered by their master, the god of war, Takemikazuchi, they went to the door and knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Although Miyuki sees it as immunological, it is undeniable that the gods here are very humane.

Their feelings are more delicate than ordinary people's.

Furthermore, Artemis had just encountered an accident and was already in a state of disarray.

Everyone would be excited to find the "Orion" recognized by Orion's Arrow so quickly.

As for love, Miyuki doesn't think that Artemis will be fascinated just because of an arrow.

Indeed, Artemis's thoughts are no different from Miyuki's guess.

The act of intimacy does not mean that Artemis is in love with Miyuki, it is just a simple way of expressing feelings.

As for the title of "Orion".

It's just the legend of the moon god and Orion in normal mythology.

Unfortunately, there is no such person as Orion in this world.

But anyway, Miyuki has directly gained the high-level favourability of Artemis.

And there is no denying that it feels good to hug Artemis.

"I hope that Orion can go with me," Artemis said expectantly.

Hearing Artemis's words, Miyuki looked at the emerald green jewel-like pupils of the goddess.

He had already made a decision in his heart, of course, he would agree.

In the beginning, he had no close contact with Artemis, and coupled with his weak strength, going to crusade against Antares was simply sending food.

However, at the moment he can definitely fight Antares and kill him easily.

What's more, unlike the original book, Antares has not yet completed the erosion of the moon god.

Therefore, even if the Orion Arrow is not used, he can kill him even more easily.

The only headache is the unkown monster.

His future self only told the solution but not the opponent.

He can somewhat guess who the monster is, who is stronger than most gods.

Anyway, first solve the current task.

[ Mission Name: Grateful ]

It can be considered that there are two stages.

The first stage is the tragedy of saving the Artemis familia.

The second stage is to defeat Antares.

Coincidentally, the limit Miyuki could do at the beginning was to let Rethusa and the others survive and give Artemis a chance to breathe.

And now... it's time for him to deal with the real master.

Is it a coincidence... or is it a calculated process by the system.

From the beginning to the present, the enemies along the way have all become stronger step by step.

And he himself has grown up along the way.

Antares is a formidable foe.

But not the main dish.

The main dish is the unkown monster who is likely to have the same strength as him.

His opponent is going to be that monster.

He has a feeling that the unkown monster will definitely attack him after fighting Antares.

But no matter what, he's going to fight Antares and finish the unkown monster.

Not only to change regrets, but also for rewards.

Just when Miyuki was about to agree, Hestia appeared between him and Artemis with a swoosh and then said, "Artemis, I will accept this task!"

Hearing this, Artemis showed joy and she didn't mind Hestia separating him and Miyuki.

Hestia looked at Artemis and felt a bit guilty about suddenly interrupting her, so, she said righteously, "Hey, my god friend is in trouble, I will naturally support you!"

"Thank you, Hestia!" Artemis immediately expressed her gratitude.

"Of course, I'm going too," Hestia stated her condition and said after looking at Miyuki, "After all, it would be too dangerous to let you and Shenhui be alone together."

Hearing this sentence, Miyuki was speechless.

He is not a casual person.

But if it's Artemis...

Then without Hestia, something might really happen.

....

After deciding, Artemis went to the guild to report the mission to Ouranos.

At the same time, the stage that pretended to be a festival, but actually chose "Orion's Arrow" was canceled.

Deep in the guild, in a dark room,

In the gloomy temple, only the dimly lit torches provide the light source.

Ouranos, who was sitting on the throne, finished praying to the dungeon and looked at the moon god in front of him and said, "I already know the general situation..."

Antares is a monster born from dungeons in ancient times especially to fight against the gods.

Therefore, the gods can only seal it.

But now, the seal is lifted, and the body of Artemis is also in a stalemate with Andaris.

The longer the delay, the more critical the situation becomes.

Just imagine, how much disaster will a monster that is not bound by rules and can freely use the main god-level divine power in the lower realm bring to the world.

Once formed, the entire lower realm is in danger of being destroyed.

Not to mention, among the gods of the heavens, Artemis is also a rare fighting god.

Her combat is among the top group of gods.

This point can be seen from the fact that after she descended to the lower realm, she can reach the strength comparable to that of a lv3 adventurer in her mortal body.

If Antares can really absorb her then it is not something that the lower realm can fight at all.

"Is that boy... really a recognized person?" Uranus pondered for a moment and asked.

"It must be. So far, he is the only one who has responded to Orion's arrow." Artemis in an affirmative tone and said, "And, I'm ready."

"Then please," Ouranos said.

"You shouldn't thank me. If you want to thank...you should thank that child. After knowing the truth, he is probably the most uncomfortable person." Artemis shook her head and left after speaking.

After Artemis left, in the dark underground temple, the old god sighed deeply.

…

Hestia familia,

After bringing back the news of the expedition, the girls looked different.

Lili, Haruhime, Daphne, and Cassandra everyone reluctant.

Unfortunately, Miyuki couldn't bring them.

Not even Haruhime, who could give a buff.

After all, for the current him, he doesn't need aid to fight Antares and the main opponent is the unknown monster.

The strength of the unknown monster is at least the same level as his without relying on artifacts. So, he can't bring the girls who have no ability to protect themselves from even the aftermath.

Maybe if Alfia was here, he would bring her.

Unfortunately, she and Meteria aren't here.

As for Hestia who insisted on following, he couldn't stop him.

Since you want to come, just follow.

Candidates are determined quickly.

Afterward, Artemis sent a message.

Dragons and supplies are being prepared.

Tomorrow morning, start immediately.

....

Nothing to say all night.

Time passed quickly and morning came.

Before dawn, Miyuki took Hestia and saw two figures on the city wall.

They were Ganesha and Artemis.

"Hi everyone, I am Ganesha!" The main god with a strong figure and a mask greeted him with a loud voice.

Today's Ganesha is also full of energy.

Ganesha is one of the famous gods of India in mythology.

In this world, he is also a famous, energetic, and strong god.

After hearing the news of the ruins of Elsus, Ganesha, the main god wearing an elephant trunk mask, hurriedly collected the tools to go to the ruins of Elsus

An obedient flying dragon with good stamina.

When the flying dragon hovered and fell from the sky, Miyuki was quite calm.

After all, his own friend is Veldora, the storm dragon and he is a dragon man. So, a mere subspecies of the dragon can't surprise him.

"Don't worry, these flying dragons are domesticated pets when they hatch from eggs, so they will be very obedient," Ganesha thought and said loudly.

Then he continued in an energetic voice, "In addition, the materials have been prepared, and you can go on the road at any time."

"Thank you, Ganesha." Artemis immediately expressed her gratitude to Ganesha.

"It's nothing. After all, I am also responsible for this matter, but the only thing I can do now is this." Ganesha waved his hand and said.

Then, Ganesha lowered her voice and said while looking at Miyuki, "Thank you for lending a helping hand to them."

Although they couldn't see the expression clearly, everyone could feel the sincerity in Ganesha's tone.

"Easy to do." Miyuki nodded and said calmly.

"If there is time, we will meet again," Ganesha spoke then he turned around to look at the dragon.

Hearing Ganesha's words, Miyuki knew that Ganesha meant the Xenos who lived in the dungeons.

The existence of Xenos is a secret to the vast majority of people. In the entire dungeon, except for the Ikelos faction that has been destroyed, only Ouranos and Ganesha, the two main gods, know about it.

The annual monster festival is also a festival specially set up to reduce people's fear of monsters.

Ganesha held the dragon and said, "It's not too late, let's go immediately."

Waste no more time.

Although Hestia was very curious about the matter between Ganesha and Miyuki, but when she saw that Miyuki didn't say anything clearly, she gave up asking.

It's just situation was different from the original. The number of people was far smaller.

So, only one dragon was prepared for travel.

One flying dragon and three people.

Everyone could only squeeze in.

Miyuki was sandwiched among the two goddesses, one behind the other, he could touch the soft body of the goddess of the moon in his arms, and he could also feel the plumpness of Hestia behind him that he once couldn't put down.

Then under the gaze of Ganesha, the dragon flew out with Miyuki, Artemis, and Hestia.

Then Ganesha stood on the city wall, looking at the distant figure, and said with sincere blessing, "Don't stop, go,... go ahead, boy."

…

After leaving Orario, several people looked down at the beautiful scenery.

Whether it was the blue sky or the golden wheat field below, the tense Artemis relaxed a lot.

This made her subconsciously lean on Miyuki's arms. After seeing this, Hestia, who was usually jealous, didn't make any noise as usual, but silently pressed against his back.

However, this time it was Miyuki's turn to be a little embarrassed. He was not a pure innocent young man, and being intimately contacted by two goddesses made him a little bit overwhelmed with guns.

Thankfully, he has [ Solomon ], just use some magic to calm himself down, otherwise, his spear would definitely hit Artemis and he would be embarrassed.

And thankfully, he could distract himself with scenery and the night came quickly, only then, Miyuki was relieved from his pain.

Otherwise, he really couldn't hold it for too long.

...

late at night.

Miyuki and others landed the flying dragon in the jungle, found an open space, set up camp, and began to rest.

The three sat around the campfire.

Thanks to Miyuki's cooking skills, the three people enjoyed delicious food in the wild.

"It tastes good, it's improved from the beginning." After Hestia ate a piece of barbecue, she praised it.

"Artemis, aren't you going to eat it." Hestia looked at Artemis, who didn't eat, and asked.

"This... I'm not hungry." Artemis returned a smile and looked at Miyuki tenderly and said, "Orion, if you want to eat, come...open your mouth."

At this moment, Hestia surprisingly didn't break in.

She knew that Artemis needs support at the moment.

And Miyuki already has a lot of women.

So, one more Artemis is nothing.

"By the way, what kind of monster is Antares?" Hestia asked while eating.

Although she knew about it, she was late in the lower realm after all, so she didn't know too many things.

Even though Meteria told her a lot of things, she only knows general information.

"The beginning of the matter was the abnormal proliferation of wild monsters. Therefore, in order to investigate the truth, the guild mobilized many familia members, but...all of them have no news."

"Until we went there, we didn't know...it was all the reason for the revival of Antares.".

...
