Chapter 86 - Antares

Jin and the rest went inside the ruins. The group arrived in front of a door.

"This can only be open using my divinity." Artemis explain to them. She then lift her hand and place her palm on the door. Her palm glow with golden lights.

The door slowly opened and Jin's group strode forward. The enter the ruins and saw the walls have been contaminated. Dark purple jelly like things were pulsing on the walls. Suddenly it move and covered their exit.

"It thinks that they would be able to trap us with this thing." Jin said while looking at the dark purple things.

"They are here." Artemis said in a fierce voice.

Jin turned his head and saw a group of monsters were blocking their path.

PURGATORY DRAGON'S FLAMING BREATH!!

A huge amount of flames blasted the monsters in front of him. The space was narrowed and the flames covered the four corners of the space, so the monster have nowhere to hide. They could only allow the flames burned them to death.

"Go ahead Artemis, I will protect you don't worry." Jin said to Artemis.

"What should we do now?" Ur asked as she looked at Artemis and Jin's figure.

"It's seems that Jin could handle it alone. So we probably wouldn't need to do something." Mercphobia said. He then notice a movements in the ceiling.

He looked up and saw an egg like things that were attached to the ceiling. The eggs started to opened and a scorpion type monster fell down on the ground.

"So these guys manage to survive." Mercphobia said while looking at the monsters.

"It's seems that we finally have to do something." Ur said and she slowly walked towards the monsters.

Mercphobia looked at Jellal and said, "How about you? Do you want to join her?"

Jellal shook his head. The monsters were too weak, Ur wouldn't even need a minute to take care of them.

He opened his mouth, "I just want to examine this ruins."

"You should go now, If you want to examine this entire ruins." Mercphobia said as he leaned his body on the wall. Since he doesn't have anything to do, he decided to wait here in the exit.

"I will just wait here at the entrance." Mercphobia said.

Jellal nodded at him and began to walked ahead.

Jellal curiously looked around at his surroundings. He looked at the ancient carvings in the walls but he couldn't see it clearly due to it being contaminated.

"Tsk, It's no good." Jellal clicked his tongue and he turned his head at his side. He saw the scorpion type monsters were gathering around him. With his current strength he wouldn't have any problems in dealing with these weak monsters.

METEOR!!

A golden light formed around his body. It enhances his over all abilities at large margin. He just managed to learn this skill after their fight at Acnologia. He flashed and instantly appeared in front of the monster.

Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!

He started to massacre the group of monsters.

...

ICE MAKE: GROUND SPIKE!!

"Damn that Jin! He just got a goddess for himself and he rarely talk to us!" Ur said with an annoyed expression as she kick the body of the monsters.

"He's out of his character lately. He rarely show some of his weird antics, and he also seems to thinking about something. It must be related to Artemis." Ur said as she continue to massacre the monsters.

ICE MAKE: ICE SERPENT!!

ICE MAKE: ICE CANNON!!

Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!

...

Jin and Artemis arrived into a ten foot tall giant scorpion. Like the other monsters it have a black color and red linings across it's body.

"So that's Antares...?" Jin muttered while looking at the monster in front of him.

Artemis reveal a painful expression as she clutche to her ċhėst.

"Are you okay, Artemis?" Jin asked Artemis with a hint of worry on his voice.

"You should hurry up and use the sword." Artemis said as she gritted her teeth.

Roar!!

Antares roared loudly that shook the entire ruins. It's upper body slowly opened revealing it's stone.

"Artemis...?" Jin said after he saw the figure inside of the stone.

Antares shot a purple light in the sky. After a few moments, rays of light shot down from the sky and it destroy the floor.

Boom!!

Jin grabbed Artemis and he went down. He want a time to talk to Artemis alone.

...

Every adventurer in the world was stunned when they saw the second moon in the sky. The second moon is really not a moon, It's Artemis' Arcanum.

The dungeon in Orario was getting restless after Artemis' Arcanum appear in the sky. It kept spawning monster and the monster seems berserk. It kept drowning the adventurers with their numbers.
