Chapter 304 I will definitely hunt you.

A loud bang resounded following the closure of a large double gate. Standing in front of it was a young woman with long lime green hair, her head lowered as she clenched her fists letting anger slowly take over her.This material is derived from n0v£lbin•

"Haaa~ now that was interesting!!!"

The cheerful exclamation of the clown by her side was like a jab to her stomach.

"Pheme, I am not in the mood for your shenanigans."

Sensing the hostility in the air, the other Olympians quickly dispersed, not wanting to deal with the headache.

"I do not care!" Pheme replies as she twirles on the tips of her feet. After a moment she came to a stop and turned to Artemis, grinning from ear to ear. "What made you think Atropos would just stand there and let you kill her sister?"

Artemis gritted her teeth.

"That wasn't Lachesis." She said. "You were there when we cremated her body."

"Well she could use the artifact, Right? And besides, do you think Atropos would take the hit for a fake?"

Obviously, Artemis herself didn't believe that. Until the arrow pierced the heart of her ally, she didn't have a single doubt about the enemy being a fake.

"Well, this isn't the first time your ideals blew up in your face, isn't it?" Pheme went on, rubbing salt on the freshly reopened wound. "You lost a lot of your subordinates, your brother and almost got yourself killed. All because you wanted to preserve the enemies' chastity."

"You think I care what you or anyone else think?"

Atlanta was silent for a few seconds which was in itself an answer.

"Some of the apprentices... aren't so happy about the new recruit." She heaved a sigh and then continued. "The councilors are asking for the Scissors to be confiscated from him as well."

"Karim, huh..."

Artemis immediately understood who she was referring to and could only grit her teeth at his mention. With both Atropos and Apollo gone what remained of their Forces was absorbed into hers, leaving her responsible for everything that happened in the Nephilim world. One of those responsibilities was a human survivor from that world. The boy showed great potential, having mastered the Runes for flight and teleportation as well as spatial distortions and black hole creation. He also managed to survive against the brainwashed Nephilim queen despite having no combat experience and that alone earned him an audience with Zeus who accepted him among their ranks and put him in Artemis' care.

The problem was, not everyone liked the boy. He betrayed his own people to join the other side, and he used the chaos created by the Fallen invasion to steal Atropos' artifact, something that left a very bad taste in Artemis' mouth.

"Forget about him." She said eventually. "My concern is those so called Nephilim."

According to the intelligence gathered by Perseus the Nephilim had two worlds under their control, the second being where they first met Lachesis' clone. Right after the Ritual concluded, the enemy used the portal in the palace to summon reinforcements from the second world and presumably escaped through it taking the Key with them.

"Unfortunately, Zeus has ordered us to leave them be for the time being."

Artemis could only sigh, rubbing her temples as she recalled the conclusion of their meeting. With the enemy having Lachesis' Needle they're able to peek at the Tapestry of Fate, giving them the advantage in a defensive battle. They had proven themselves to be much more capable for a mere lower realm, and with how many wars Zeus was waging simultaneously, the majority agreed to leave them be for the time being.

"I have no choice but to wait..."

Having experienced such a humiliating loss Artemis was rearing to go and get her revenge, but with clear orders to stand down she had no choice but to restrain her anger and wait. Unfortunately, the harder she tried to do so the more difficult it became. The dread of the sabertooth staring down at her was still fresh in her mind, keeping her awake at night. It was a humbling experience, forcing her to remember that no matter how high the realm she belonged to was, there were still some out there capable of dragging them through the mud.

'Just you wait...' she thought, a faint glint in her eyes. 'I will definitely hunt you...'
