Chapter 1013: Domain Of The Great Hunt



Inside Jin-Sil's mind, over an hour had already passed, and her chase had yet to be fruitful. But many things had changed since the start.

The first of these many changes was that she was back on the plains from the beginning. Jin- Sil had managed to calm down enough to be brought back to the start of her hunt, where a peaceful air still reigned supreme.

The following change was that she was no longer running at the deer. Try as she might, even in this flat environment with no obstacles, she couldn't hit the deer or even catch up to it.

It never ran out of breath and remained as elusive as ever.

Instead, she was now sitting on top of a small hill, enjoying the view of the clouds and taking large lungfuls of the sweet-scented air around her.

And lastly, the deer, whom she couldn't be bothered to chase after anymore, was all but done mocking her.

It would bleat loudly every few seconds, taunting her with little steps and hops, trying to get her to run after it. But Jin-Sil had long since started ignoring its onerous attitude.

Raising a middle finger in the deer's direction, not bothering to look at it, she kept staring at the sky with a smile.

"At least this decor is quite relaxing," she sighed, resting on her arms.

The voice hadn't spoken to her in a while, and Jin-Sil was most grateful for that part. But her glee was about to be interrupted.

'Have you no intention of finishing your hunt, child? Have you given up?"

Jin-Sil snort-laughed before opening her mouth to reply.

"Given up? Not a chance. But what's the point of me chasing that deer if you made it nearly impossible to hit? I think I'm just going to relax here for a while. It's not like your target is dangerous. I can take my time," she mocked.

She could hear a gnashing of teeth in her mind and snickered.

"Tut tut tut. Patience is the key to great hunters, remember? Don't go losing your cool on me, missy," Jin-Sil said in the most condescending tone she could muster.

The deer's bleating suddenly stopped, replaced by the cracking of bones and painful groans, making Jin-Sil finally turn its head toward it, her grin unabating.

The wind from the projectile itself was enough to form a minor cut on Jin-Sil's cheek as she rolled to her feet, her bow firmly in hand, an arrow nocked, and her eyes locked on the person who had just shot at her.

"You think you can challenge me to a duel with a bow, child?" the woman opposite her seethed, her eyes filled with rage.

"We won't know until we try, right?" Jin-Sil mocked, her voice quivering nervously.

Artemis spat on the ground, releasing the arrow she had at the ready.

Jin-Sil didn't even have time to react this time; the arrow's flight suddenly much quicker than the previous one.

She gasped in fear when suddenly the arrow stopped an inch from her left eye, its tip almost vibrating in anger as it resonated with its master's will.

"Now, now, Artemis. Is that the way to treat a victor of the great hunt?" a deep masculine voice said, with a cheery tone.

That's when Jin-Sil noticed the hand holding the arrow's shaft in place. And that hand was holding the entire shaft, so it was massive.

Trailing the hand up an arm, Jin-Sil's eyes finally rested on a gigantic figure standing behind her, with dark blue skin and the musculature of an Olympian.

"The child must pay for speaking to a god with arrogance!" Artemis spat.

Jin-Sil had no idea what she had just stepped into, but she could tell by the inherent reaction

of her body that it was something far beyond her means. These people could snuff her out like

a candle whenever they wished.

"Calm down, Artemis. Let's discuss this."

"Stay out of it, Orion. This isn't your domain to control or rule in. Go back to the stars, you

gigantic moron."

"No."
