If it were an ordinary time, I wouldn't be afraid of these gold-level summons and it would just take a bit of effort.
But now, as I'm fleeing, any second's delay is almost fatal.
"Get lost, all of you!"
Orion once again stirred his divine power in anger, trying to break through the blockade of the seven dragon-tooth soldiers recklessly.
However, a golden shadow flashed by, and pain shot through his right leg, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l'e-novelhall.net
"Woof! Woof-woof!"
At the side, a Golden Hound that succeeded in its hunt let out a joyful bark, wagging its tail and nudging its master's leg to seek praise.
Looking at the spiritually full Golden Hound and Luo En, who lowered his hand to pet the dog's head as a reward, Orion's eyes almost burst with fury.
All this should have been his!
All because of that stubborn old fool! All because of this outsider who appeared out of nowhere!
Seeing no way to escape, Orion steeled his heart, quickly drew the last three arrows from his quiver, and nocked them to his bowstring.
"Puff!"
However, a bronze sword was thrown, its cold edge not only cutting the bowstring but also severing his right arm.
Immediately, warm divine blood spurted out, splashing Orion's face.
After a brief numbness, intense pain assaulted him, making the Son of the Sea God clutch his severed arm and let out a piercing howl.
"Ah! My hand! My hand!"
"Don't worry, you won't be in pain much longer..."
The voice that seemed to offer comfort brought with it a shivering, chilling fear.
Too dazzling to behold, untouchable!
For they are the order of heaven and earth, the sovereigns of the world!
"Hmph!"
Just as the tyrannical hand descending from the sky was about to crush the defiant ant, a cold snort echoed through the air and a golden lance descended, its crescent edge splitting the overwhelming waves that sought to engulf the world.
"Puff!"
Accompanied by the muffled sound of flesh being torn apart, the giant hand from the sky was cut by the golden lance's edge, with gold and blue blood raining down amidst a series of muffled groans.
Luo En, at the center of it all, was drenched in the sudden downpour of the Divine Liquid.
The Twelve-Sided Die on the altar in his mind began to roll, resonating with an invisible rhythm.
In an instant, the oppressive weight of the deep sea dissipated, replaced by the boiling surge of blood within his body, as if the sea itself was churning.
From his bones to his meridians, from his flesh to his spirit, it was as if they were being washed and baptized over and over again by seawater.
Claiming a measure of Poseidon's maritime divine power for oneself?
So this is the [chance] I've chosen?
Realizing something, Luo En murmured, letting go of his mind and actively receiving this hard-earned [divine gift of fate], his consciousness gradually being submerged in the surging tides.
His uncontrollable body then tilted forward.
However, his falling head eventually landed in a gently opened embrace, with soft whispers of genuine admiration and boundless complexity brewing close to his ear.
"You've worked hard..."
Listening to that familiar voice, the last thread of clarity in Luo En's mind snapped, and his unsupported head burrowed into softness and warmth, leaving him with one final thought.
Athena, she's actually quite big...
