Soon, the guide team was officially formed, leading the top combatants of the clan: three level 5 and three level 4 members, along with Artemis, who wore a striking hunting dress.
"So serious," Eugene remarked, noticing the girls' ulterior motives.
If we can't control the situation, we should at least have the ability to forcibly take Eugene away.
Even if Eugene is a rare level 6 expert, he could easily suppress three level 5 and level 4 fighters.
Not to mention, as the goddess of the hunt, Artemis was already highly skilled in martial arts. Although her strength was average, her archery skills were unparalleled.
Soma's divine wine is enough to intoxicate anyone, and the hunter's divine arrows will never miss a fatal weakness.
"Of course!" Maintaining her straightforward and outspoken style, Artemis made what she thought was a serious but actually adorable finger pistol gesture. "Don't even think about doing anything unnecessary!"
"Don't worry about that, I value my life very much." Eugene shrugged and smiled: "If I die, nothing will matter, I won't get any of the delicious food, fine wine and beautiful women."
Tsk, what a playboy! How did someone like him even get involved with Astraea?!
Artemis was puzzled. She clearly remembered that when Eugene introduced himself, there was no sign that he had lied about his close relationship with Astraea.
But can a scoundrel who flirts with young girls whenever he has free time really catch the eye of that upright and righteous goddess of justice?
As the group traveled through the forest, Artemis's thoughts never left Eugene.
Her gaze would occasionally fall upon the blond man, but even her divine insight could not glean any deeper secrets from his composed face.
"Hey, what exactly is your relationship with Astraea?"
"Now it's 'hello' again?" Eugene found the change in the goddess's tone inexplicably amusing. He turned to look at the straightforward girl and decided to tease her a little more.
"She is my dearest person."
This misleading tone naturally caused Artemis to be deeply moved.
My dearest... darling!! ? ?
What do you mean?
dear?
Could it be... that kind of relationship?!
No way! !
A series of questions and exclamations flooded his mind. The sheer volume of information contained in the brief Q&A immediately made the agile Hunter lose his balance and almost stumble!
Looking at that sincere soul, Artemis simply couldn't believe that her dearest friend was such a two-faced goddess.
Even if one is to fall in love, the other must be an upright, strong, and gentle person.
How could Eugene, standing before us, possibly be any of them?!
With his golden hair and dark skin, a frivolous expression, tall and strong physique, and a penchant for looking at people sideways, he has unreliable and eccentric goals. Whenever he has a spare moment, he goes to flirt with young girls. This image is completely the opposite of the gentle and kind rabbit male protagonist in traditional harem anime!
Why would Astraea like this type?
Shocked, Artemis quickly discovered another key point.
Although Eugene doesn't seem to be lying, this relationship could still be considered one-sided, right?
Unrequited love is possible! No, rather, it's the only possibility!
“Yes, that must be it!” Artemis, her eyes regaining hope, shouted back at Eugene:
"You're misleading people! Astraea isn't that kind of person!"
Haha, he's got some brains, but not many...
Seeing her delight at having cleared up her confusion, Eugene didn't hesitate to throw out another heavyweight bombshell.
"Lady Astrea and I have already been completely honest with each other~"
· ·······Requesting flowers···· ·
I ran into him twice in the bathroom, and I've seen pretty much everything I needed to see. That's absolutely the truth!
ha?
Artemis was initially a little confused, wondering what was so special about being honest.
But after watching Eugene's sly, wicked grin for a while, memories of being spied on by those lewd, hopeless scoundrels in the Celestial Realm resurfaced in her mind.
Aa ...
Let's be frank and open with each other! So that's what it meant!
This was something she had never done before, nor had she ever dared to imagine.
As a symbol of purity and self-discipline, how could she be so open with a man?
The mere thought of that shame made her blush deeply.
..... . ...
call!
A wave of heat rose from the top of her head. Artemis, who was almost dizzy from Eugene's bombshell, could no longer look at her best friend in the eye.
She kept saying she liked gentle, handsome young men, but then she turned around and found a flirtatious scoundrel who flirted with everyone. Sure enough, anything without the name of a virgin goddess is filthy!
“You, you…”
The more Artemis thought about it, the more ashamed and indignant she became. She was at her wit's end with the smug Eugene.
Punishing them won't work, and letting them go won't work either.
Managing it won't work, and ignoring it won't work either.
They are truly in a dilemma.
However, this little episode lasted only a short time before being dispelled by the serious atmosphere.
The unusual noise ahead, even from a great distance, drew the attention of two god-like beings in the group.
Cluck cluck cluck cluck—
The dense sounds of carapace rubbing together, the chewing sounds of mouthparts, and short, rapid footsteps converged into a cold, sinister sound wave that concealed deadly intent.
I didn't expect to run into him so soon.
Artemis and Eugene's expressions changed simultaneously, one becoming somber while the other became joyful.
That is the true nature revealed when facing the shadow of disaster.
To the mortals and even the foremost martial god in the heavens, this was a terrifying monster that was difficult to hunt and capable of plunging the world into darkness.
But to Eugene, they were nothing more than fish on a chopping block, waiting to be trampled upon.
It will also be the final piece of the puzzle, helping him ascend to the dark throne that terrifies even the gods! (Mountain)
341 The goddess who was forcibly hugged? Things are getting out of hand!
The sound of dense crustaceans crawling reached Artemis and Eugene's ears after a long time.
They each expressed a mix of joy and worry, their thoughts being completely opposite.
"What's wrong, Lady Artemis? Have you discovered something?"
He deliberately asked the question to the goddess whose brow was furrowed, making her body tense up even more.
Artemis did not want Eugene to come into contact with those monsters; she had even planned to take this outsider on a day-long tour only to return empty-handed.
But now, Eugene's proactive awareness of the anomaly has shattered this ideal outcome.
"For the goddess of the hunt to show such solemnity, it must be something extraordinary." Eugene observed Artemis's changing expression, then turned in a certain direction.
"Is it over there?"
He... he actually noticed?!
I was shocked once again. As a being whose hunting instincts reached a god-like level, even a level 5 adventurer's perception could not compare to Artemis's.
But right now, Eugene, "on May 13th," easily discovered the source of the cold, noisy sound before the clansmen could.
Is he really that strong?
Due to the evolution of the power of plunder, Eugene's control over his own mind and body has also increased. Previously, when he talked to the goddess face to face, even if he lied all he wanted, it would not have any effect.
Simply because even the color of the soul is already under their control.
"You're so mean! You've already found out, but you're trying to make me, the one who's been searching for you, miss out."
Eugene’s tone was calm and showed no anger, but it was this absolute composure that was all the more unsettling.
Confident, even after understanding the strength of the goddess and the adventurers around him, he remained confident that he could act freely according to his own will.
The only thing supporting this confidence is strong strength.
Lv6? Or is it simply Lv7?
Without giving the other party a chance to hesitate or consider, Eugene flashed away and disappeared into the distant jungle.
Without using any movement techniques, he simply used his leg strength to unleash a speed that left everyone in the dust, creating a whirlwind of dust and fallen leaves in the jungle.
"Hey!!"
With her beautiful eyes wide open, Artemis, whose physical abilities were limited, could not stop Eugene's actions and could only lead her retinue to follow closely behind.
At that moment, all she hoped for was that Eugene wouldn't cause too much trouble.
Fortunately, that direction was not where the ruins were located, so even if an accident occurred, it wouldn't be too difficult to handle.
slam-la-
Just after passing the last jungle barrier, Eugene's footsteps left a long trail on the ground.
He straightened up and looked at the scene ahead.
What came into view was the bizarrely shaped scorpion-like monster from my memory.
Their appearance is extremely similar, like a stylized replica. The exterior that should be covered with carapace is wrapped in metal armor, with a scarlet light emanating from inside, making them look like mechanical monsters in a game.
But it does indeed possess the characteristics of a living organism; its vibrant aura is undisguised, and its body rises and falls with each breath.
Andaris's proliferators will proliferate endlessly as long as the original body remains intact.
Given time, that monster could completely cover the earth's surface!
If it weren't for the powerful seal of the Great Immortal, this vast sea of trees would have long since become a paradise for scorpion monsters.
