Chapter 148 - The Beginning of the Epic (2)

The battle with the black scorpion larva did not make Miyuki complacent.

These monsters are nothing more than proliferated larvae.

Its appearance is nothing more than an enlarged heteromorphic larva.

The threat is equivalent to nothing, but it will explode, which is very disgusting.

However, Miyuki clearly felt that the monsters in the depths were stronger than before.

But this is nothing. He can easily slaughter them.

Instead, he roughly calculated the power of Antares himself.

According to his perception, Antares at least has the strength of S rank.

As for how far it is in S rank, he can't know because he hasn't seen it yet.

However, the main dish isn't Antares, he will only use Antares as a warm-up.

The Hestia blade set off a slash of light, crushing the densely populated enemies, and in less than a minute all the monsters blocking their paths were slaughtered.

Arriving at the end of the corridor, they saw another scenery.

Different from the dark tunnel, it is a world full of light, but also covered with vines and flesh and blood.

The only difference is that the number of monsters no longer increases.

The eggs hanging on the veins of flesh and blood will no longer give birth to new monsters even if they sense the presence of Miyuki and others.

Antares, who was located deep in the temple, noticed that one of the enemies was tricky, so he simply stopped sending his men to die.

After all, instead of giving experience to the enemy, it is better to hatch for a longer period of time and grow into a stronger monster.

At the same time, as the arrow of Orion approached, Antares became more and more frantic.

The powerlessness of the dependents and the threat close at hand caused Antares, who was corrupting the moon goddess and the temple, to let out an angry roar, accelerating the rate of erosion.

In the open chest cavity of the pitch-black shell, there is a transparent crystal that seems to grow in the flesh.

And among the crystals was Artemis showing pain.

This is the real body of Artemis.

On the other side.

"Well..." Artemis, who was walking in the middle of the team, suddenly covered his heart and squatted down after screaming in pain.

"Artemis... the time is almost up?" Hestia quickly supported the shaken Moon Goddess and said with a melancholy expression.

"It's okay." Artemis looked at his increasingly illusory palm and shook her head.

Resisting the pain in her heart, the goddess stood up strong again and grabbed the Orion arrow wrapped in white cloth in her hand, and said lightly, "Let's go quickly."

The light and fluttering voice spread like falling leaves...

Artemis walked up the steps alone.

Her small back made everyone feel that she was a bit different from before.

Rethusa and the others, who have not yet understood the situation of Artemis, wonder why Artemis suddenly became indifferent.

However, the goddess is their main god, so there is nothing to say.

After looking at each other in blank dismay, they could only follow along.

"..." Artemis passed Miyuki, but she did not speak.

However, Miyuki, who has psychic eyes, knew the goddess's physical condition.

Immediately, he walked side by side with her.

Miyuki looked at Artemis and his determination to save her became firmer.

Just like he promised yesterday, he will save her.

Following Artemis, everyone walked up.

The light at the end is still a hundred meters away.

Here, the crowd could already hear Antares's breathtaking panting that shook the temple.

The final enemy is ahead, and everyone is in high spirits.

Even the monsters that can be captured by the power of gods, if there is no god-killing spear, Rethusa, and the others will not agree to let Hestia and the others come.

Lowering his voice, Miyuki whispered to the silent goddess beside him, "I heard that gods don't really die, do they?"

"?" Artemis, who didn't know why Miyuki suddenly asked such a question, and finally turned around and looked over.

The goddess was eroded by the pain, her cheeks were paler and weaker than before, and her whole body showed a sick and weak temperament.

Artemis nodded and said, "I won't die, but it will take 10,000 years of sleep to be reincarnated."

"But I can't wait ten thousand years." Miyuki shook his head and said, "So, I won't let you die."

Artemis was stunned.

But before she could ask, Miyuki took the lead to go over the body and go to the entrance of the sealed place.

The boy stood on the stairs, set off by the dim light piercing through, and stopped here.

Everyone who didn't know why he stopped suddenly looked at him suspiciously.

Before the decisive battle, many people would give speeches to boost morale, but no matter what, Miyuki didn't seem like someone who could say those words.

"Magi Power Release"

Miyuki muttered these words then the sea-like magic power in his body was mobilized.

Immediately, golden-blue arrogance erupted from Miyuki's body.

And magic enough to distort the atmosphere swept everyone away.

"This is magic..." The girls of the Artemis familia looked at everything in front of them with disbelief and shock.

Distorting the atmosphere just by relying on magic.

This is completely unheard of.

"Miyuki..." Hestia finally saw the power of Miyuki.

"Orion..." Artemis also looked at Miyuki with shock.

Such huge magic power is already comparable to the top main gods.

"Solomon"

A soft whisper escaped Miyuki's mouth, then before everyone could react, a transparent multi-layer barrier appeared around everyone, enclosing them.

"You stay here, Andaris will leave it to me," Miyuki said without looking back and he stepped forward.

Then he moved towards Antares.

It wasn't that Miyuki wanted to be a hero himself.

But because he can feel that there is another presence locking him beside Antares.

This presence is extremely cold, and tyrannical and he can feel that it has an extremely destructive nature.

And its strength is at the same level as his.

Although it is not at the scene, Miyuki knew that it was waiting for him to fight Antares.

After that, it is likely to attack.

Even though he didn't understand why that monster waited until now, Miyuki has no time to verify the reason.

Now, he just wants to quickly kill Antares and prepare for the next enemy.

It's just, Rethusa and others can't even survive the aftermath of their fight.

So, he needs to leave them.

And he even left a barrier for unexpected situations.

...

Trapped in the barrier, everyone could only helplessly watch Miyuki disappear and enter inside.

It took a few seconds for them to react.

"What is that little guy trying to do? Antares can't be dealt with by himself!" Randy, who was anxious in his heart, was about to rush forward with a knife in his hand.

Although she saw abyss-like magic power, she still doesn't think that Miyuki can beat Antares.

After all, Artemis, the main god can't deal with it. So, a mortal can naturally not fight it alone.

However, soon, she touched the barrier and was blocked.

Then, bam, she was blocked.

"What the heck is this guy trapping us and going off alone." Randy punched the transparent but only a few ripples appeared. Seeing this, she couldn't help being angry and cursing.

It was just before she lost the calm, Hestia, dressed in white, stepped forward with a firm expression and said, "I trust him...so, please trust me too?"

Hestia said seriously, "Miyuki, he can definitely deal with it."

Hearing Hestia's words, the girls, who wanted to break the barrier, lowered their arms.

The gods will not deceive them.

The look in the eyes of the petite goddess is full of trust.

Rethussa took a deep breath, and after seeing Hestia's eyes, she opened her mouth decisively.

"Leave Antares to Miyuki. After all, we can only stay in the barrier."

All the girls nodded and they were still worried.

Just then, Hestia opened her arms and found that Artemis beside her disappeared, not knowing when.

At the same time, Orion's Arrow was gone.

…

Miyuki entered the depths of the temple, and as far as he could see, a dark monster came into view.

Larger than previous hatchlings.

It is more than dozens of times bigger.

It is at least hundreds of meters, if not a thousand meters.

There are more than eight sharp tentacles. At the front, there are huge scorpion claws. No one will doubt its bite force.

The tail is a pitch-black barb that rises high over the body.

And in the center of the body, the protrusion is different from the main body of ordinary scorpions.

Like the bridge of an aircraft carrier, it seems to have noticed the enemy's appearance, a huge one-eyed stare at Miyuki, a huge body staring at the figure below, and under the eyes is a mouth with eight teeth department.

Miyuki looked at Antares's chest.

It was wrapped in a jet-black carapace, making it airtight.

If the guess is correct, the real body of Artemis is inside.

"Roar!!!"

The whole body is pitch black, and the body covered with crimson threads is aimed at the direction of Miyuki.

The blood-like eyeballs fixed on the only figure.

A roar sounded, shaking the temple, and dust fell down.

Behind him, there was a sudden plop.

The water-blue-haired goddess knelt on the ground with her hands on her chest, her expression painful.

"Please, Orion." She handed the god-killing arrow to Miyuki with difficulty and said, "Shoot it through. Otherwise, it will be too late..."

The use of divine power to escape the barrier has used up her last remaining divine.

Now, her vitality is becoming weaker and weaker, and even the thought body made with divine power could hardly maintain it.

The dim and transparent figure already allowed Miyuki to see the soil under Artemis.

Artemis's eyes were almost pleading.

"call out!"

Before the eye contact was over, Antares struck first.

The huge steaming mouth gathered a deep purple light ball, and immediately exhaled light, which shot straight at the two of them.

The breath of Orion's arrow has been tearing at the monster's sanity.

But before being hit, Miyuki hugged Artemis and jumped away from the spot.

The light blasted potholes, and the splashed gravel jumped onto his face, making it painful to scrape.

"Orion..." Artemis stubbornly looked at Miyuki and handed the god-killing arrow.

Antares can't be defeated by power alone, otherwise, gods would have killed it long ago, instead of sealing it.

It possesses terrifying immortality that can make him unkillable.

Only god-killing arrow can kill him.

"No need. [Solomon]." Miyuki didn't look at the arrow of Orion and immediately enclosed Artemis into another barrier.

Then he unsheathed the Hestia blade and walked out.

The noise of metal friction poured into both ears, and the silver-white sword slowly unsheathed, gradually lingering with flame-colored light.

In the blink of an eye, it was dyed black by an extremely terrifying flame.

Mysterious black flames surrounded Miyuki, adding up a lot of mystery.

Miyuki walked forward full of irresistible majesty.

...

The temple lost its original color, highlighting the desolate twilight.

The flesh and blood pipeline connected to the building is the way Antares manipulates the temple and lays eggs.

As long as it completely devours the power of the moon goddess, it is only a matter of time before the eggs outside grow into monsters beyond the dungeon.

Even at this point, Antares no longer needs to spawn by himself.

Self-proliferation and evolution are the characteristics of the black scorpion itself.

Although in the setting, the dungeon is on the same level as the gods, it is too unbelievable that such a monster can be born.

Artemis was blocked by Miyuki's barrier and he could only stand there blankly.

At this moment, the young man surrounded by black flames held the Hestia blade, looked at the monster in front of him, jumped a ravine tens of meters long, and rushed towards Andaris.

As the enemy approached, Antares's roar became even more violent.

However, as if underestimating the small figure approaching, Antares just stayed where he was, raised his giant black pliers, and slammed down on the shadow below.

That single eye was still staring at where the Moon Goddess was.

The dark purple light condensed and shone brightly. As long as the God Killing Arrow could be destroyed, the next one would be able to devour the Moon God with peace of mind.

"Do you underestimate me?" Miyuki laughed after seeing Antares's reaction.

{ Name: Antares

Title: Ancient Sealed Monster, Enemy of gods

Status: Devouring moon goddess

Level: S+

Combat: S+ }

The strength is only S+ which is just entering the rank of the main god.

Being underestimated by such an opponent isn't a good feeling.

Looking at the attack falling from the top of the head, at speed beyond sound.

Miyuki's muscles tensed up and he clenched his fists, then the muscles of the footsteps exerted force, and the feedback force of the heavy pedaling on the ground splashed the mud and he punched back directly.

boom!

The giant pincer hit Miyuki's small fists.

The moment two sides collided, Miyuki punched through the carapace and destroyed the giant pincer of Antares.

"Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." Antares roared in pain and it finally looked at Miyuki with serious eyes.

The one he thought was an ant, was actually a dragon who could kill him.

After swallowing Artemis, it possesses some intelligence, so, it has the ability to think.

"I don't have time for you." After punching away Antares, Miyuki held the burning Hestia blade.

"Haze: Black Flame Slash(Oboro • kokuenzan)"

With a soft murmur, Miyuki slashed down the sword.

Miyuki avoided the area where Artemis was located and slashed at the neck of Antares.

Then under the unbelievable eyes of Artemis

A huge pitch-black flame slash of several dozens of meters was slashed by the small blade in Miyuki's hand.

The slash cut through the atmosphere and even some black cracks appeared around it.

Antares sensed the danger and it wanted to resist.

Unfortunately, Miyuki was serious, so, it could only die.

Because of the extreme speed of the sword, it couldn't react.

Then Antares died extremely simply under Miyuki's sword slash and the black slash began to burn its body.

"This is dead..." Artemis looked at Antares which was easily slashed off by Miyuki and couldn't believe that it would die so easily.

"Not yet." Hearing Artemis's murmur, Miyuki shook his head and looked at Antares whose body burning with pitch-black magic flame.

The system reminder hasn't sounded, so, it is certain that Antares didn't die.

Although he used Benimaru's famous stunt, it is not easy to kill an S+ rank monster with immortality.

....
