Kapitel 118: PJ640
Chapter 631
The Gods flashed away one by one. Percy got a big hug from his dad
before the sea God left and now he was alone as he walked out of the
throne room with Artemis by his side.
"Why didn't you flash back to your hunter's camp?" Percy asked.
"I needed a few moments to myself," Artemis sighed, "this battle we
face….I'm nervous."
"You have every right to be," Percy smiled as he placed a comforting
hand on the Goddess shoulder, "don't worry so much Arty, I'm sure you
do well."
The moon goddess raised an eyebrow, "really? Because you might be
the only one who thinks so Percy. I have been tracking the Ophiotaurus
for months now and I have come no closer to it's location, the other
Gods have lost their trust in my abilities, I fear that I won't be able to
find the wretched creature."
Percy smiled, "it sounds to me like you have a lot of pent up stress."
The goddess nodded, "yes. It's times like these that I wish I could go
and kill something, but with the way things are going I doubt I could
find anything that could appease my anger."
Suddenly a lightbulb went off in Percy's head, "I have just the thing."
"What do you mean?"
"You know I have powers right?" Artemis looked confused, "I mean the
power to create pocket dimensions with monsters filled inside?"
Artemis nodded, "yes and….?"
Percy sighed, "Artemis, I can create worlds filled with monsters to
kill…..do you understand where I am going with this?"
Artemis blinked once, twice and then a smile came on her face. Percy
grinned, "you have some time to kill?"
"Yes, usually the meetings on Olympus don't end so quickly, the
hunters will not expect me for some time now."
"Great, then you and I can go dungeon crawling," Percy said as he
opened up his ID creations skills looking over the list of dungeons he
had access too;
ID Create, Lv-25 (12%)
Used to create Instant Dungeons. Higher the level, stronger the
dungeon.
Current list-
Empty Dungeon- no monsters.
Monster Dungeon- Zombies
Monster Dungeon- Goblin Camp
Area Dungeon – Mountain/ Island/ Swamp/ Forest/ Plains
Empty Dungeon – Time dilation (1/5)
Monster Dungeon- Parademon invasion
Percy quickly found one, "okay so your options are this, a dungeon
filled with zombies, a goblin army, a mountain range, an island, a
swamp, a forest, a large plain or a city infested with interdimensional
monsters."
Artemis blinked, "I see….what would you recommend?"
"Well I've spent a lot of time in the zombie dungeon, it's okay, if you're
a demigod. It's kind of easy for a Goddess though, won't really give you
a challenge."
"Alright, then what else?"
"Well there is the Goblin camp, and I have fought in it once before.
There is one insanely strong enemy there, but again I wouldn't
recommend it for a Goddess. Plus he's kind of a perv and I don't want
you destroying everything there by going nuclear."
"Percy why do you assume I am so easy to upset?"
"Because you are."
"I don't like your tone Jackson," Artemis growled.
"See, you're upset, you just proved my point. Thank you."
Artemis opened her mouth to argue but huffed in annoyance. She just
grumbled and crossed her arms, "fine, what else?"
"Well I haven't really explored any of the mountains, swaps, islands,
forest or plains yet, so maybe that?"
"I see...very well then how about the forests?"
"Okay," Percy held Artemis hand as he put his other up in the air, "ID
Create: Area Dungeon: Forest!"
The world shifted from under their feet. Everything around them
flashed red. Artemis grabbed Percy by the arm and moved closer to
him, she wasn't used to this. The marble city of Olympus melted away,
Artemis now found herself and Percy standing in the middle of a very
dense forest with a full moon shining down on them through the tree
leaves.
You have entered a forest!
+5 to all stats!
Percy grinned as he turned to look at Artemis, "you can let go now."
Artemis blushed as she immediately did so, "I-apologize. Your abilities
surprised me. I didn't realise you could do….well this."
Percy nodded, "yeah it's a pretty unique ability. It creates this whole
nother world for me to explore. Kind of like….well like a pocket
dimension. You know what that is right?"
"You can create your own realm?" Artemis asked in amazement, "how
did you obtain such an ability?"
Percy shrugged, "didn't my dad tell you?"
Artemis blinked before slowly nodded, "yes….he mentioned something
about the Fates."
Percy shrugged, "basically that," Percy didn't really know what to say.
He would rather avoid talking about the Fates, last time he saw one of
them….well let's just say he didn't enjoy it.
Artemis looked around, the forest looked generic, pine trees with
shrubs all around. The ground was covered with dead leaves and dirt.
If she was to guess she would say it was somewhere between spring
and summer in this world, if such a thing even existed here.
"So what can you tell me off this place?" Artemis asked.
"Honestly? Nothing. I have no idea what this place holds," Percy
chuckled as he took out Riptide, "I didn't really have enough time to
explore this place. I just know the basics, find a monster, kill it, take the
loot and then move on. Simple as that."
Artemis frowned, "so this is a place filled with monsters, monsters
which, I remind you, you have no idea what they look like or can do.
And you thought it would be a safe to bring me here?"
Percy shrugged, "you're the goddess of hunting, I don't see what the
big deal is, I mean, do you want everything served to you on a silver
platter? Learn to go with the flow Arty."
Artemis huffed, she snapped her fingers summoning a bow and quiver
out of thin air. "I assure you Percy I can go with the flow," Artemis put
on the quiver and readied her bow, "it would have just been nice if you
knew what we were hunting."
"I promise, we'll know when we find it," Percy grinned and turned
around, "now come on! Adventure awaits!"
Chapter 632
Artemis rolled her eyes but followed the demigod. They went through
the forest, pacing their steps, keeping an eye out for anything out of the
ordinary, like a monster charging at them with a giant sword.
'Hm, that's strange,' Percy thought to himself as his internal clock
quickly hit the 5 minute mark, 'by now a monster would have shown up.
It would have also tried to kill me. Hm...,maybe my high level is
affecting the spawn rate? No, that's not possible, I mean it never
happened before, why should it now?'
Just then Artemis grabbed Percy's shoulder and pulled him backwards.
"Hey what-" Artemis hushed him by placing a hand over his mouth. She
squatted lower, telling Percy to do the same. The two hide behind a
bush as Artemis stared into the distance.
"There," she said pointing at a small clearing a few feet in front of them,
"do you see it?"
"What do you-" Percy stopped, he immediately activated his 8.0
Eyesight and looked at where the Goddess was pointing. Immediately
he saw it, and he couldn't help but gasp at it's beauty.
It was a silver stag. Silver like Artemis's eyes. It's horns were gold and
it's hooves were black like coal. An aura of blueish silver light crowned
it as it walked from shrub to shrub eating its fill.
"What is that?" Artemis asked in a tone of wonder, "I have never seen a
deer like that in my life."
Percy quickly used Observe on the creature;
Majestic Hind
Lv- 25
HP: 2,500/2,500
MP:900/900
Str- 23
Vit- 45
Dex-21

A creature born out of purity and good will, it represents the
embodiment of how pure a creature of the wild can be. It's hooves
are made of black diamond, it's fur of silver, it's horns of gold and
it's blood of liquid platinum. Truly it is a valuable creature, but not
because of it's body.
Kill to gain- 300 Exp
"It's called a majestic Hind," Percy supplied, "it's supposed to represent
the purity of the wild."
"How did you know that?" Artemis asked looking at Percy in wonder.
Percy cursed, 'damn it! I got used to talking fo freely to Thalia! Think
Percy think!' "I ah, well I kind of just made up a name for it. Thought
Majestic Hind sounded cool."
Lie succeeded!
"And the purity of the wild statement?" Artemis raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry have you seen this thing?" Percy pointed, "it looks like a
fucking angel come to life. If it wasn't a symbol of purity then you're not
a virgin goddess."
Lie Failed!
'Damn it!' Percy cursed, 'guess it was a little too much to ask for!'
Artemis looked confused before realization dawned on her. She
sighed, "sometimes Percy I feel like you keep a lot of things hidden
from me."
"What ah, what do you mean Arty?"
Artemis formed, "I may not be the God of truth, but I have picked up a
few things by watching my brother."
Percy sighed, "look it's….I can' talk about it. I'm sorry, but I can't."
Artemis nodded, "I understand that Percy, I too have secrets….ones
that I do not share with anyone, not even my brother. But that is not
what I meant, you don't' have to bear these secrets alone, you can
trust me Percy, I'm on your side."
The son of Poseidon smiled, "thanks Artemis." The two looked into
each other's eyes and suddenly Percy remembered the image of
Artemis he saw in Clotho's vision. The image of Artemis grabbing him
and kissing him.
Percy blushed and turned away, Artemis was confused by this action
but said nothing.
"So ah-," Percy cleared his throat, "what exactly are we going to do
about the deer?"
"Well we aren't going to hurt it if that's what you are asking," Artemis
put away her quiver as she stood up, "your powers are interesting to
say the least Percy. To be able to create something of this beauty….tell
me have you ever created something like this before?"
Percy forced, "no...not that I remember anyway. Nothing as amazing as
the Hind, maybe….no, definitely not."
"Then this warrants further investigations," Artemis walked forward,
"coming?"
"You want to just go up to it and talk?" Percy asked surprised.
"Yes."
"You think it will listen?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I'm Artemis, the Goddess of the moon, and deers are my
sacred animal," Artemis smirked, "although maybe it would be best to
introduce another fellow deer to the Hind when me meet. So as to not
spook it."
"But we don't' have a deer with us," Percy said as he put away his
weapon. Suddenly his eyes popped open, "wait….you don't
mean….your weren't planning on turning me into a deer were you?"
Artemis blinked, "what? No!"
Lie detected!
"You were?!" Percy shouted, "I can't believe this! Ten minutes! It's been
ten minutes and you are already thinking about turning me into a deer!
Again!"
Artemis rolled her eyes, "fine," she grumbled, "I won't turn you into a
deer. Do you have an apple? If we can't make him like us by showing a
fellow deer," Percy huffed, "then we need to feed it something."
Percy opened his inventory and pulled out a fresh apple. He threw it to
Artemis, "here. Still can't believe you wanted to turn me into a deer. I
thought we moved on from that phase of our relationship."
Artemis chuckled, "you certainly can whine a lot Percy. Now come,
there is a Hind I wish to seduce."
The two walked to the clearing carefully. Percy drew back, he let
Artemis take the lead. The goddess obviously had more experience
with this than him.
Artemis looked at the Hind, and the moment they came close enough,
it noticed them as well. Immediately Artemis bent down extending an
open palm to the Hind, "my name is Artemis oh pure one, I assure you,
I mean you no harm."
The Hind looked at her and then to Percy. The demigod stiffened, he
was unnerved by how intelligent those eyes locked, it was almost like
the Hind knew what they were saying. Taking a chance Percy reached
out with his mind and felt the emotions of the Hind, instead of fear or
surprise he felt calmness and a sense of wonder.
Chapter 633
Percy walked up and bent next to Artemis, "I think it knows we mean it
no harm."
Artemis nodded, "yes, I sensed its intelligence as well," she took out
the apple from before and presented it to the Hind, "here, for you."
The silver fur deer smiled as it quickly approached the two. It smelt
Artemis's hand and slowly closed it's mouth around the apple grabbing
it and chewing the red fruit.
Artemis smiled as she ran her fingers through it's long silver fur, it felt
warm to the touch. The Goddess of the hunt sighed in happiness as
she felt a feeling of calmness take over her body.
"This truly is a spirit of purity," Artemis whispered as the Hind finished
eating, "it is as calming as a bottle of nectar."
Percy smiled, "you know if you want you could take it."
Artemis blinked, "really? Is that possible?"
Percy scratched his chin, "well honestly haven't really tired...there is
only one way I know for sure that it will work, but that would involve
killing it temporarily."
Artemis shook her head, "no. I love the Hind true, but that doesn't
justify me taking it out of it's natural habitat. My selfish desires must not
be put above the life of this beast."
Percy smiled, "you know I kind of had a feeling you were going to say
that."
The two stepped back and watched in silence as the Hind slowly
walked away searching for more berries to eat in the forest. A sense of
calm settled over them, Percy was honestly surprised, this was
probably the first time he didn't kill something he meet in his ID's.
He turned to Artemis, the Goddess was amazing to say the least.
There was this innocence about her, a sense of purity. Maybe it was
attributed to the fact that she was a virgin, or maybe it was something
to do with her domain. But Percy thought different, he didn't see it that
way, she was just naturally so nice, it honestly disarmed Percy to see
her this way. He realised that for the first time he might have just gotten
a look at the real Artemis.
Crash!
A tree crashed in the distance. Percy and Artemis tried to look at what
caused it, but the moment they turned away the Hind started to run
away. The noise came again;
Crash!
This time is was closer. Percy turned to the Hind, "it must have sensed
something was wrong." He pulled out Riptide and Waverider, "we need
to alert."
"Understood," Artemis snapped to attention. The soft features on her
face were locked away as she took on her 'Huntress' persona once
more. She drew her bow and nocked an arrow, they stood side by side
ready for anything.
CRASH!
"MEH!" The Hind shrieked as the trees in front of it exploded outwards.
A giant monstrous figure jumped out from the trees, splinters rained
across the air. It grabbed the Hind with arms as big as a full grown
human and ripped the deer in half. Platinum blood poured down, the
monster raised the dead body to it's lips hungrily drinking the precious
liquid.
"No!" Artemis shirked in horror. She started to glow, anger took over.
The monster threw away the now drained corpse of the Majestic Hind.
Percy got a good look at it. It had the body of a giant gorilla, but with
the hairy face of a boar. It stood on two legs, it's hands covered with
claws as big as Riptide. It's tusks were large and looked sharp enough
to cut steel, and it's eyes glowed green with hunger.
Roaring Primadox
Lv- 35

MP:1,900/1,900

A beast born to kill and ravage the land. The Roaring Primadox is
a beast carved out of the very foundations of the forest, it exists
to bring balance to the eco system. It kills without mercy or regret,
pray you don't meet it in combat.
Kill to gain- 500 Exp
Percy growled, "looks like we found the monster we have to fight."
Artemis nodded, "indeed."
"GRAAA!" The Primadox roared as it smashed its fists into the ground
causing the very ground to shake. But neither Percy nor Artemis were
shaken. The Goddess pulled back her arrow and let it go.
The arrow whistled through the air in a flash of silver. It hit the
Primadox in the right eye imbedding itself into it's brain. The monster
paused before it feel to it's knees and then flat on the ground. It was
dead on the spot.
"What the shit," Percy exclaimed as he saw the monster vanish in front
of his eyes leaving behind a single tusk, some money and a veil of blue
potion. "How did you do that?!"
Artemis shrugged as she put away her bow and arrow, "I aimed for it's
brain. I'm sure even a beast like that wouldn't be able to survive an
arrow to it's brain."
Percy blinked, "right…." 'Huh, this might be easier than I thought.'
Percy and Artemis quickly approached the loot the monster left behind
and Percy observed it.
Tusk of the Primadox,
One can hollow this out and make it into a horn. That honor will
then be able to summon other Roaring Primadox to one location.
But the question is, are you sure you want to summon more?
Number of uses per horn- 1
Roaring potion,
The drinker of this potion will be able to shout 20 times more than
their normal voice. This will give a +20% bonus to all skills that
involve speaking.
Time limit- 5 minutes.
Money- 5,000$
Percy was impressed, there was fairly unique prizes. He tossed
Artemis the potion and the money, "here, you earned it."
The Goddess blinked, "what do you mean?"
"They are yours," Percy clarified as he picked up the tusk looking it
over, "they are yours by right."
"But what use have I for them?" Artemis asked looking over the money
and potion, "I don't even know what this potion does."
"This potion is a shouting potion," Percy explained as he used his
matter manipulation to hollow out the inside of the tusk making it into a
horn, "you will be able to shout 20 times more loudly for five minutes."
Artemis blinked, "how do….never mind."
Chapter 634
Percy chuckled, "you learn quick. Anyway, yeah, it's yours. Maybe you
can use the cash on the hunt or something. Take them out for a special
lunch or something. You know, do something fun."
Percy examined the horn as Artemis turned to the dead Hind. She bent
down and examined the body. Tears welled up in her eyes as she
closed it's eyes. Percy looked over and sighed, "there was nothing you
could do."
Artemis nodded as she got up, "I know. I of all people know the rules of
the jungle Percy, it's kill or get killed. I understand that. I just regret not
being able to save it."
Percy sighed, "well if it makes you feel any better we could probably
get revenge," he tossed her the horn.
Artemis raised an eyebrow, "what is this?"
"I hollowed out the Primadox tusk. If you blow through this you
summon more of those creatures," Percy grinned, "maybe we could
use them to blow off some steam."
Artemis looked at the horn and smiled, "maybe," she took the blue
potion from before and uncorked it. Before Percy could say anything
she chugged it down emptying it in one gulp.
"Why did you do that?!" Percy yelled out in a panic.
"I WANTED EVERY PRIMADOX IN THIS FOREST TO HEAR MY
CALL" Artemis responded in a tone so loud Percy winced as he
covered his ears, "OH, SORRY, WAS I TOO LOUD?"
"Stop talking!" Percy yelled as he waited for his ears to stop vibrating,
"you need to be more careful , just blow the stupid horn."
The Goddess nodded, she placed the tusk on her lips, took a deep
breath, and let loose.
BROOOOOOO
The ground in front of Artemis erupted as the vibrations from the tusk
exploded outwards shattering the tusk, turning it into dust.
'Pop' that was the sound of Percy's ear drums exploding. The son of
Poseidon went deaf at the sound of that horn. He felt blood leaking
down his ears as he tried his best to stay on his feet. 'Stupid Percy, you
should have fucking backed up!'
Artemis ran to Percy's side, she helped him stand still, Percy could see
her lips moving but he could hear shit. Panic rose in Percy, but just as
quickly it was squashed away. Gamer's mind took over, it helped him
think thought this problem of his.
Immediately Percy's hands glowed gold as he placed them over his
ears curing his deafness.
The shriek of the real world hit him hard as Percy heard Artemis's voice
again, "Percy? Percy are you okay?"
"Stop talking," Percy grumbled as he wiped the blood from his ears,
Artemis was controlling her voice, but it was still far too loud for his
delicate newly created eardrums.
Artemis nodded as the two waited for a few seconds for Percy to get
his bearing back. He quickly shook his head, "maybe I should have
stood a little further away."
The Goddess sighed as she smiled at him nodding her head.
"Sorry about snapping at you before," Percy said rubbing his head, "I
was kind of in a lot of pain." The Goddess smiled and waved her hand,
"well glad to see you forgive me. Anyway I'm guessing we are going to
be swarmed with a huge wave of those Primadox monsters, you
ready?" The Goddess grinned and evil smile as she readied her
weapon, Percy didn't need to guess what her answer was.
A few minutes later;
Percy stood in the middle of the clearing with Waverider in it's trident
form.
Crash!
Percy looked in the corner of his eyes and saw three Roaring Primadox
charge out of the trees and make a line straight for him. The demigod
smiled as he waited for the monsters to attack.
The Paradox in the lead jumped into the air and brought down it's fists,
Percy extended a single arm and grabbed the creature with his
telekinetic powers. The monster looked confused as it floated in the air,
Percy smirked as he threw it into one of the other Primadox.
The third one saw what happened to it's brothers and roared in anger,
it charged Percy but before it could even raise it's mighty fists a silver
arrow embedded itself into it's skull dropping it like a sack of potatoes.
Percy moved away from the disappearing corpse of the Primadox and
looked out the two that were slowly getting back up. He didn't let them
get on their feet. Percy took Waverider and threw it at the two, peircing
one in the head;
Critical strike!
100,000 Attack X 2,500 times = 250,000,000 Attack
The monster didn't stand a chance.
Percy then gathered a large amount of mana into his right hand and
created a ball of energy. He launched it at the remaining Primadox
ripping a perfectly round hole into it's chest.
Critical strike!
100 Attack X 2,500 times = 2,50,000
The remaining Primadox vanished into nothing as well.
Ping!
Total Exp gained: 1,000 Exp
Percy summoned his trident to him using his telekinetic powers and
once when it is in his arms he channeled the feeling of greed through it
activating it's Greed Mode. Percy thought of all the times he wanted
something, a kiss from his girlfriend, more money to buy things, more
power to save his friends, and slowly the white lines running along the
trident turned orange;
Special mode Activated! Emotion: Greed
Greed- 5 X Loot, special ability - causes automatic gathering of
loot.
Percy clicked his teeth, 'Shit, I should have activated this before I beat
the shit out of them, that way I would have gotten more loot! Sigh,
maybe next time.'
Waverider glowed with an orange aura as it automatically targeted the
fallen loot items. Said items, which were mostly just money or tusks of
the fallen Paradoxes, glowed orange before automatically disappearing
into Percy's inventory giving him a notification;
Items obtained;
10,000 $
1 Roaring potions
20 D
1 tusk of Primadox
Percy wiped the screen away and waited for the next wave. He didn't
have to wait long as soon another wave of Paradoxes broke through
the tree line charging right at him. Percy counted 12 of them, he
lowered his trident and with a vicious grin charged, "come on you dead
fuckers!"
Chapter 635
The son of Poseidon leapt into battle without a second thought. He
moved his trident as if it was a part of him. Every swing of the weapon
caused a Primadox to die. Percy was having fun, he was finally able to
let loose after so long.
Occasionally an arrow would fly out from the trees tops, Artemis acted
like his support firing arrow after arrow in rapid motion. The monsters
went down with an arrow sticking out of their head, they didn't even
realise they were dead.
Soon more and more Paradoxes came, and they all feel to Percy and
Artemis. Soon the clearing became filled with golden sand as the
monsters disappeared one by one. Percy's arms grew heavy, but he
wasn't tired, no, not one bit. If anything he felt like this was just a warm
up.
A pair of Paradoxes charged Percy from either sides, the son of
Poseidon jumped up and floated in the air as he sent two energy blasts
at the beasts killing them both.
"ARGH!" A third Primadox jumped at the floating Percy with it's arms
spread out, Percy gracefully moved away from the monster's attack
slicing Waverider through it's neck. The Primadox turned into dust by
the time it reached the ground.

Percy looked at the points he had, 'maybe I should spend some of
these things, if Kronos is coming for us I need to be on my A game.'
Percy pushed the notification aside, he would deal with that later.
The demigod turned to the tree Artemis was firing from, "I think that's
all of them," Percy said as he floated down landing in the ankle deep
golden dust currently occupying the clearing.
"I believe so," Artemis said as she jumped down from the tree she was
hiding in. She smiled as she looked at Percy, "I almost thought you
were going to break a sweat there."
Percy chuckled, "me? Neah, you're thinking of the other teenage son of
Poseidon."
Artemis rolled her eyes, "seriously Percy, I was worried. I didn't know
you could fly."
Percy blinked, 'oh shit…..fuck me' Percy rubbed his forehead, "shit….it
was supposed to be a secret. Fuck my life."
"I won't tell anyone Percy, I swear," Artemis assured him, "I'm assuming
you particularly don't want my father to know, yes?"
Percy sighed and nodded, "yeah…..I discovered I could do this just a
few weeks ago. Thalia has been helping me with it, but we decided it
would be best if people didn't realise I could do this, you know? A son
of Poseidon that could fly, that would definitely cause heads to roll, and
in this case I'm worried that the head in question might be mine."
Artemis nodded, "my father is a very vindictive person. If he knew you
could travel in his domain...well rest assured I certainly won't be
mentioning this to him. Though I would suggest you try and hide your
secrets better."
"Yeah, I will. I am usually better at hiding things, but...I don't know,"
Percy shrugged, "guess you just seem trustworthy. I don't really feel
like keeping things from you Arty, I trust you."
The goddess blushed gold, but she turned her face away before Percy
could spot it. "R-right. Now what do we do?"
Percy looked at the loot he obtained from the fallen monsters. Including
the stuff from before he now had;
105,000$ (X5 due to Greed bonus) = 525,000$
70 Roaring potions (X5 due to Greed bonus) = 350 Roaring
potions
9,000 D (X5 due to Greed bonus) = 45,000 D
34 tusks of Primadox (X5 due to Greed bonus) = 170 tusks of
Primadox
4 Bottle of Forest essence (X5 due to Greed bonus) = 20 Bottle of
Forest essence
Percy grinned, "we got a lot of loot from that round," Percy then began
to list all that they had gathered, each item listed caused Artemis's
mouth to open lower and lower until it almost look unhinged.
"How did you get so much?!" Artemis shrieked the moment Percy was
done, "Hades! I didn't even see you collect all that!"
Percy pointed to his trident that glowed orange, "Waverider has a
special mode called 'Greed'. When active it automatically gathers all
loot dropped and will increase it by 5. Pretty cool huh?"
Artemis blinked in disbelief, "you are impossible."
Percy chuckled, "yeah," he quickly took out all the money they got
along with the drachma. There was so many he had to use his
telekinesis to carry them all. He floated them to Artemis, "here, it's
yours."
The Goddess looked at the money and did a quick count, "but Percy
this is all the money that was dropped."
Percy shrugged, "I don't really have need for money anymore."
"And yet I insist we share," Artemis took 250,000 and 20,000 D and
snapped her fingers vanishing it, "you will need it in order to help build
your Haven."
Percy raised an eyebrow, he wanted to tell her how he could just
summon gold out of the Earth if he wanted, but doing that would raise
suspicion. And Percy may trust Artemis, but he wasn't stupid. So he
just nodded his head and put the money away for later.
Percy gave Artemis a couple of Primadox tusks, they were useless
now, Percy was sure they would have probably cleared all of the
monsters in the area and then some. So for now the tusks were just
decorational. Artemis also took half of the roaring potions, something
about scaring the shit out of her Hunters, Percy was honestly
surprised, he didn't think the moon Goddess had a mischievous bone
in her body.
However all of those loot items were basic, not really worth noting. The
main attraction now however was the 20 'Bottle of Forest essence'
Percy obtained;
Bottle of Forest essence;
Will allow the drinker a permanent +5 to all stats in the forest. Will
also enhance the user's senses when in the forest.
Percy had waited for over a year to drink the first one of these he found
because he wasn't sure it was safe. The first time this was a loot item
he got from defeating a Gergosa, so immediately he was on alert. He
didn't' want it to turn him into a monster or something. But now he
knew what it could do, and there was no reason to hesitate.
Chapter 636
'No...wait,' Percy turned to Artemis, she was the Goddess of the Hunt,
of the Forest, she would probably sense it if he grew stronger because
of the forest. So Percy sighed as he made a mental note for himself to
use the essence the first chance he got.
"So now where do we go?" Artemis asked.
"I think that way," Percy pointed at the direction from which most of the
Paradoxes charged from, "since the monsters came from that direction
I'm betting we'll find the boss there as well."
Artemis nodded as the two began walking deeper into the forest. Percy
was having fun, but this dungeon crawling just didn't feel exciting, not
when he first started. He remembered the very first dungeon he hoped
into, Gods that felt like so long ago.
He was so stupid back then, he just jumped in without a care in the
world. The only thing he had to protect himself was a sword, a shield
and the ability to control water. And with that he took down Zed, his first
servant. It was a proud moment of his life, one he won't forget. And by
the way things are going, he probably will never replicate.
Things have, for a lack of words, been getting boring lately. Percy was
quite frankly far too powerful for these normal dungeons. He killed all
those Paradoxes without breaking a sweat, and not just that he wasn't
even trying now. In fact he could have just killed them all with his tactile
telekinesis alone, just rearrange all their molecules and rip their hearts
out.
Percy sighed, 'this just isn't as challenging as it used ot be.'
"Something the matter Percy?" Artemis asked noticing her friend's low
spirits.
"Nothing Arty it's just….sigh, that back there didn't even feel like a work
out, you know? It just felt so easy, their broke down like they were
nothing, hell I didn't even use a quarter of my power!"
Artemis chuckled, "and now you know how a God feels.
Congratulations, welcome to the club."
Percy sighed again, "how do you guys deal with it? With all this
power?"
Artemis shrugged, "honestly? I don't know. I was born a God, I've
never had to contemplate mortality or anything of the sort. But I did ask
my hunters, the ones that became immortal, how they felt. They said it
was similar to moving to a new town, everything will be different, but at
the same time it will also be the same."
Percy rolled his eyes, "yeah but I'm different from your hunters, they
can't do the things I can do, Hades, they can't even come close. Ah, no
offence."
"None taken, you were simply stating the facts," Artemis shrugged as
they passed a small stream devoid of any life forms drinking from it.
"Thanks….but I think you were right, about it being like moving to a
new neighborhood or something. Except in my case it's a new planet
and my neighbors all happen to be Gods."
Artemis nodded, "true….you know you could do what Gods do."
"And what's that?"
"Seal away some of your power," Artemis explained, "our true form
contains all our strength, it's what we can truly do. This form you see
now is….well it's only a fraction of what we can do."
Percy frowned, "I see….sealing your power….intresting….maybe."
"Well whatever you plan on doing I suggest you hold off on it for some
time, at least after Kronos is dealt with, then you can-"
Artemis stopped mid sentence as a gasp escaped her mouth. Percy
and the Goddess looked with open jaws as the forest gave way to what
looked like a valley. In the center of the valley was a tree so big it
dwarfed Olympus. It's vines were the size of skyscrapers and it's
leaves the size of cars. And surrounding this behemoth of a tree were
thick forest the kinds Artemis hasn't seen since the dawn of man.
"B-beautiful," Artemis exclaimed as she looked at the trees and the
forest surrounding it.
"I-I didn't realise there was a place like this," Percy said in blunt
truthfulness, "if I did…..damn, now I'm wondering how the others might
look."
The two quickly continued their walk into the new denser jungle. Every
tree they saw was teaming with life. As when before everything was
dead, here there were bugs and other creatures of the forest. Birds,
monkeys, snakes, Percy swore he even saw a tiger once.
The branches of the giant tree covered them and blocked out the
moonlight. Percy snapped his fingers summoning a fireball, it
eliminated the area around them, but not much else.
"This is all so beautiful," Artemis spoke as she looked at it all. She
approached a bush of roses and plucked a single flower, "such beauty."
"Yeah," Percy observed each animal here and found they were just
that, animals. They weren't monsters to kill, they didn't offer an Exp
points, well they did, but enough to warrant their death.
"We must come here more often Percy," Artemis almost pleaded with
him as she took a deep breath stretching her arms out wide, "truly a
place of wonder."
Percy nodded, "sure, why not? Maybe we can come here every other
week or something, should be fun."
Artemis happily agreed as the two began to walk further into the forest.
They quickly came across a big river that seemed to go underground
towards the root of the giant tree in the center of the forest. Percy
figured a tree of that size would need a lot of water to keep it alive, this
river might just be one of many other water sources the tree draws
from.
Artemis and Percy jumped across the river and moved forward. Percy's
eyes were finally getting used to the darkness, he might not need the
fire ball in a few minutes. Heck maybe-
"GRRR!"
Percy and Artemis were immediately on high alert. Percy readied
Waverider and Artemis nocked an arrow. The sound came from all
around them, for the life of him Percy couldn't pin point where. The
trees took on a wicked tone now, every shadow held death, every
noise sounded like danger.
Chapter 637
"This way," Artemis started walking one way, Percy wasn't sure if this
was where the sound came from, but he trusted the Goddess knew
where she was going.
"GRR!"
The sound directly behind them, Percy turned and launched the fire
ball in his hand. It flew through the air as the thing that growled at them
jumped with a yelp.
Percy readied his weapon to attack when Artemis stepped in front of
him, "wait."
Percy blinked but didn't move, he looked to the beast and was
surprised by what he saw. It was a green tiger with yellow strips. It was
as big as a bear and was covered with wounds left and right. One of it's
eyes were shredded into pieces and it's right leg looked like it was
broken in several different places.
Percy quickly observed the creature;

A member of the proud Dirtiger family, this creature is known for
its ruthless attitude and it's dangerously sharp fangs. It is often
known as a pack hunter but can also fight solo for its meals.
Kill to gain- 1,000 Exp
"It's dying," Percy stated as he noticed it's HP drop by 5 points every
second.
"We need to help it," Artemis said as she slowly put down her bow and
arrow approaching the beast with open arms.
The Dirtier saw her and growled. Artemis stopped and put her hands
up, "it's okay, it's fine. I promise you, I'm not going to hurt you."
The beast however didn't believe her, he jumped forward and swiped
with his paw scratching Artemis's open hands.
"Arty!" Percy moved to her but the Goddess shot him a look. The
demigod paused, he knew a warning when he saw one, and the last
thing he wanted was for Artemis to be mad at him. He stayed back, but
tightened his grip on Waverider.
Artemis turned to the tiger, golden ichor running down her hands. She
looked at him, "it's okay," the Dirtiger growled, "everything is going to
be fine."
The goddess reached out once again. The cat looked at the hand, it
tensed, Percy thought he would have to step in, but the moment
Artemis's fingers touched the monsters green fur a weight had been
lifted. The cat fell down to the ground collapsing where it stood, it's
body finally giving in.
"Percy," Artemis called him over and the demigod was by her side in an
instant. "Can you help him?"
"Goddess I can cure cancer," Percy smirked as he put a hand on the
dirt tiger's head activating his powers. Slowly the wounds on the tiger
began to close itself as more as it slowly grew to normal. Percy's
healing also restored 25% on his HP and MP, it was well on it's way to
recovery.
"That's an amazing power you have Percy," Artemis whispered in awe
as she saw it in action.
"Thanks," Percy's hands stopped glowing. He ran his hands along the
tiger's fur and smiled "he'll be fine."
"Could you please put him in your inventory for me?" Artemis asked as
she got up.
"Ah yeah but….well I…." Percy groaned, "why do you want me too?"
"We can't just leave him out here now can we?"
"Yes but...you do know that none of this is real right?" Percy asked.
"What do you mean?"
"This, this forest and the animals, none of this is real Artemis," Percy
explained, "it's just an illusion the Fates created. It's kind of like a
virtual training ground with everyone else acting like a supporting
character."
Artemis frowned, "then….what about those servants of yours? The
ones you got from here?"
"Well…..I honestly don't know," Percy groaned, he had never stopped
to think about it. Where the things in this place alive? Was Percy killing
things that had life? In truth he didn't want to know the answer, he was
afraid he might not like it.
Percy sighed, "fine, I'll put him in my inventory, but it won't help. He will
essentially be frozen in time, he will still need to recover when we take
him out again."
Artemis nodded, "that is fine. Please do so." Percy complained and
after storing away one large and heavy tiger the two were off once
again.
"That was a pretty big tiger," Percy commented, "I wonder what could
have done that to it."
"A Primadox?"
"Not likely," Percy shook his head, "they only go after Hind's, plus
Dirtigers hunt in packs, a single Primadox wouldn't have the guts to
take on an etier pack and hope to survive."
Artemis sighed, "and how exactly do you know all this? If I recall
correctly you insist you have never been here, you act and react like
you have never been here, and yet you know so much about the
creatures and their lives."
Percy sighed, "it's a long story. And I told you, I can't tell you."
Artemis rolled her eyes, "fine, fine, everyone has a right to keep their
secrets. Just don't bottle them up too much."
"I won't, promise" Percy smiled, 'after all I have Thalia to talk too.'
"But if what you said is true," Artemis glared, "then something other
than a Primadox attacked the diretiger, and whatever that something
was probably took out an entire streak of tigers." Percy nodded in
agreement, whatever they were hunting for was powerful. Hopefully it
would be strong enough to make Percy work up a sweat.
Soon they reached the roots of the giant tree, which Percy took to
calling 'Stumpy'. The roots were above ground creating a virtual system
of caves in the ground. Percy could barely see inside them, even with
his 8.0 Eyesight. If he was a betting man he would say those root
caves housed the monster they were searching for, which means…
"We have to go inside the roots," Artemis stated.
Percy sighed, "it's dark in there, I can barely see out here, one can only
imagine how"
Snap!
Artemis snapped her fingers and summoned a ball of light that floated
above them shedding silver light on everything.
"Huh….never mind," Percy and Artemis walked forward into the cave
like roots. Darkness took over as the ball of light Artemis summoned
did little to lighten up the path before them.
TICKOO!
Artemis and Percy came flying out as something knocked them outside
with a swing of its mighty arms. They flew across the air until they
crashed through several trees before they managed to get onto their
feets slowing themselves down.
Artemis wiped the ichor from the edges of her mouth, "that hurt."
"Yeah," Percy didn't even have time to react to the monster's swing,
even his area scenes didn't pick up on it.
Remaining defence - 485,000
Percy was really glad now that he had improved on his marble skin
defence points. That attack was fast and powerful, it took out 15,000
points in a single shot, definitely not to be taken lightly.
Chapter 638
"GRA!" the roots began to rubles as a blue hand grabbed the edge of
the wooden cave opening. Slowly a beast bigger as big as Cerberus
pulled itself out of the roots. It stood on four legs resembling a cross
between a dog and a gorilla.
It's fur was blue and covered with bony white spikes running along it's
back and crowing its spine and joints. It's face was that of a cat's with
large black whiskers, it's eyes were black and it's teeth were tainted
with the colour of blood and green fur.

and no one. It often huts for larger prays and is known to hunt for
sport relishing in the kill.
Warning! If you see it's fur turning red, run!
Kill to gain- 90,000 Exp
Percy grinned, 'this is exactly the kind of challenge I'm looking for!' He
got up and took off into the air flying around the beast, "hey ugly! Over
here!"
The Balmoth turned to Percy and growled, "GRA!" a blast of blue
energy exploded out of it's mouth flying towards Percy.
Warning! A ball of mana-
Percy didn't bother reading it as he managed to maneuver away just in
time to avoid the monster's blast. He grunted as he felt the energy roll
off of the passing ball of energy, it was very, very powerful.
'So I'm dealing with something that can use mana, nice,' Percy readied
his trident as he hurled it at the beast with all his might. The blue trident
flew through the air but was knocked aside by the monster's armoured
fists.
Percy grinned, 'oh hell yes! Now this is what I'm talking about!' Percy
gathered mana into his arms and sent energy blast after energy blast
at the monster. It didn't look like they hurt one bit, but it served to drawn
the beast's attention.
"ARGH!" It opened it's mouth sending a blast of energy at Percy, who
easily dodged it.
"Ha! You're going to have to do better than that if you-" the creature
spun flicking it's tail at Percy.
SMACK!
Remaining defence - 481,000
The demigod sailed through the air and into a tree. He shook his head,
"okay, maybe I should dial back the over confidence by just a little bit."
Artemis looked at Percy flying across the sky and sighed, 'he might be
amazing, but he is still a man,' she turned to beast and quickly fired
several glowing arrows at it. The arrows detonated on impact shocking
the beast making it turn to Artemis.
"Grr…." the bones on it's body began to glow as it drew energy from all
around it sending out a huge blast of energy at the goddess.
"Tsk," Artemis jumped away clearing the 500 meter big ball of death.
She landed on a tree branch and turned to see the monster launching
another ball of energy at her. The moon goddess cracked her neck,
she threw her bow to the side and charged head on. Her hands glowed
silver as she drew them back and double punched the ball of mana
deflecting right back at the monster.
"GRAA!" the monster jumped away so fast Artemis couldn't believe it.
The monster was huge, it shouldn't be able to move that fast, it defied
the laws of physics. The ball of energy collided with the roots of the
tree burning away a lot of the wood, it didn't damage the giant structure
much but it hurt Artemis nevertheless to know that she caused that.
"Okay how exactly did it do that?" Percy asked as he floated next to
her with Waverider back in hand.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be able to move that fast," Artemis sighed as
she summoned back her bow. The monster growled at the two before it
moved once more charging at them.
"I got it!" Percy launched himself at the monster. He quickly released all
of his strength seals increasing his power through the roof;
STR- 2.89 (+11+20+75+2+5) = 115.89
Seal Release: Layer 6, Time: 1 month 12 days
STR- 133,171 (+11+20+75+2+5) = 133,279

STR- 1,332,790
Percy plumbed into the blue monster like a bullet. The force of impact
sent the monster flying back and into one of the root caves as Percy
floated triumphantly away, "and stay down!"
Baloth's HP: 434,000/500,00
"GRAAA!" the monster burped out a ball of energy that flew across the
land throwing up a ton of dirt. Percy figured it was trying to hit him, but
it was so disoriented that it missed.
"Percy stand back!" Percy turned to see Artemis drawing back a giant
silver arrow. She looked like she was straining to control the power,
Percy could see it vibrating in her hands, he couldn't even begin to
guess the amount of power it held.
Percy immediately flew away and the moment he was clear Artemis let
the arrow lose;
BOOM!
The arrow hit dead on sending the Baloth flying through the air. A small
portion of the tree was also destroyed, but Artemis didn't care, this
thing was far more dangerous, besides the tree could take care of
itself.
BOOM!
The humongous Baloth rolled across the ground kicking up dirt
everywhere. It looked broken, dying. Percy looked at it's health;
Baloth's HP: 210,000/500,00
'She did over 200,000 points of damage with just one arrow?' Percy
was stunned, even for him that was overkill, 'guess the Gods are in a
league of their own.'
"It's not dead yet," Percy went to Artemis who was panting with sweat
coming off her bow, "you okay?"
"F-fine, it's just," she took a deep breath, "it's been a long time since
I've had to do that."
Percy nodded, "right, well hate to break it to you, but it's not over, not
yet. That thing is still living, but I'm sure a few more of those arrows
and it'll be down for the count."
Artemis shook her head, "no can do, one is my limit. Sigh, I guess I
have been neglecting my training. Before I could fire hundreds of these
without issue, now…."
Percy patted her on the back, "don't' worry about it," he gave her his
patented 'don't worry about it' smile, "I've got this."
Chapter 639
Percy floated down to the half dead Baloth and sighed, he really
wanted this to last longer. 'What's wrong with me? Why the hell am I so
obsessed with fighting? Sigh, maybe they're a little too much Ares in
me after all,' Percy pushed the sadness to the back of his mind, right
now he had a boss to finish.
Percy pressed his hand on the monster's back and began to focus on
his molecular manipulation. He focused and slowly he obtained the 3D
image of the creature's entire body. He now knew it immediately, and
he knew how to destroy it.
Piece by piece the monster began to break down at the bones. First it's
arms and then it's tails. It's flesh literally dropped right off it's bones as
it's bones broke into dust.
"Grr," the monster roared in pain, but Percy didn't stop. He literally
destroyed it from the inside out, destroying it's skin.
"GRR!" The monster tried to move, but Percy grabbed it with his super
strength and held it down. More of it's body turned into nothing, Percy
was slowly destroying it, and he honestly felt horrible about it, but he
knew he mustn't stop.
Baloth's HP: 200,000/500,00
Baloth's HP: 190,000/500,00

"GRA!" a blast of mana caught Percy of gaurd sending him flying back.
He pulled himself out of the wreckage and started as the blue beast
slowly turned red. Percy remembered what he read, 'Warning! If you
see it's fur turning red, run!'
"Fuck this," Percy threw his hands open sending a blast of ice towards
the monster. Ice sicles pierced the monster pinning it to the ground.
Percy jumped up with his trident ready to end this with a stab to the
head, but the monster broke free easily swinging at Percy with what's
left of it's arms sending the demigod flying back.
"Percy!" Artemis shouted as she ran to his side. She helped the
demigod up cursing her own lack of power, if she had just had enough
power to fire another arrow this wouldn't have happened.
"I'm fine," Percy grumbled as he got up, "but I think we are going to be
in for one hell of a ride."
The monster got back on it's feet, it's limbs slowly forming back. It
slowly stood on two legs bringing its head up to it's full height. Drool
gathered around it's mouth, Percy swore the thing looked like it had
rabies or something.
It's fire became red, redder than blood. It crossed its arms over it's
chest and threw them open sending wave after wave of mana pushing
Percy and Artemis back. The two warriors held on, but couldn't do
anything as the beast slowly changed into something else.
And then it exploded.
Warning! Baloth is going to explode!
Percy knew what was going to happen even before his area sense
kicked in. He grabbed Artemis and summoned a telekinetic force field
around them in the form of a ball. The ball was sent flying through the
air with the two inside. It felt like a carnival ride, up became down and
vise versa. Soon they crashed into the ground and Percy finally let it
down.
The two quickly got off each other and found themselves deep inside
the forest surrounding Stumpy, and everything in front of them was now
turned into dust, thrown into the winds by the mana pouring out of the
Baloth.
"Okay, we definitely fucked this one up," Percy gulped as he watched
the destruction the Booth's transformation caused. A huge chunk of the
giant tree was broken, it's layers burnt off, Percy knew Artemis was
feeling horrible about that part. But that wasn't their problem right now,
Percy was far more worried about the Baloth.
It grew bigger and bigger. Soon it stood at 80 feet tall with a bigger
body and sharper spikes. It's fure now glowed red to mimic it's
madness and rage. It looked at Percy and Artemis and snarled,
"GRAA!"

Percy gulped, 'okay, I really should watch what I ask for.'
"It's gotten much stronger," Artemis stated as she looked at the beast,
"I'm not sure it would be wise to challenge it now."
Percy shrugged, "not really. It just grew a little bit bigger that's all."
"KRAA!" The Balmoth smashed it's fists into the ground grabbing a
huge chunk of the earth and lifting it over it's head. It drew back it's
arms and threw the 30 foot long boulder at Percy and Artemis.
Percy grabbed the goddess in his arms and ran away at full speed
narrowly avoiding getting flattened like a pancake.
He skidded to a halt putting the Goddess down, "okay I may have been
a slight bit delusional."
"You think?" Artemis asked rolling her eyes. Percy let her down and the
two stared at the giant red angry Balmoth, "I'm guessing we follow the
same strategy?"
"What? Hit hard and hit fast?" Percy grinned as he tightened his grip on
Waverider spinning it around, "I like that plan."
Artemis grinned, "agreed."
The two moved as one. Percy kicked off first charging at the beast with
his impressive speed. He pierced the monster's chest with his trident,
blood flew out, but the monster didn't even seem to notice. It simply
grabbed Percy with its flaming hot hands and threw the demigod away.
Percy quickly stabilized as he floated away just as Artemis sent down a
rain of arrows on top of the Baloth.
"GRA!" the monster roared as it lifted a hand to cover its face. The
arrows didn't look like they did much, but the monster did look a little
more pissed off. It then opened it's mouth spewing out a huge amount
of green hued gas that spread around the field.
Chapter 640
Percy coughed the moment the gas hit him, "what is this?"
Artemis's eyes widened, "Percy look-"
The Baloth's fur suddenly exploded into flames which caused the green
gas around them to light up causing an explosion big enough to blast
away the very Earth around them.
BOOM!
Percy got hit with the full front of the attack as he was sent fling across
the air. The Goddess watched in horror as a stream of blood trailed
across his path, he he collided with Stumpy's trunk burying deep into
the wooden body.
Remaining defence - 468,000
"Percy!" Artemis cried out, the Baloth turned to her and growled. It lept
into the air and brought down it's fists. The Goddess of the moon
turned to the beast and suddenly time seemed to stop for the monster.
It watched as slowly the look of horror on Artemis's face turned to one
of anger. Pure unfiltered rage. Her eyes glowed silver as she raised her
hand up sending a blat of silver energy directly at the monster.
It tore through the beast's lungs sending him flying back into a root. It
layed there on the ground as blood pooled out of it's body, dust was
kicked up cloaking him. It held it's chest as it wheezed air out. Slowly
the dust settled and the beast saw Artemis walking towards him.
"You made a mistake beast," slowly the Goddess started to glow
brighter and brighter, "you hurt someone I love," she slowly shed her
mortal form turning it an older woman of 18. She wore a greek toga
with a crown on her brow and a simple pair of sandals on her feet.
Suddenly a long crescent shaped bow appeared in front of her, Artemis
reached out and grabbed her divine weapon.
She aimed the bow at the monster and snapped her fingers
summoning a silver arrow. The Goddess drew the bowstring back and
aimed it the monster. It whimpered for mercy, however it knew that it
would receive none.
"Now die," the goddess let the arrow loose sending it through the
monster's skull causing it to exploded into a pile of gore and brain
matter.
Artemis closed her eyes and calmed herself down. She banished her
divine bow and retrieved her normal silver one. The Hunter then turned
to the crater Percy landed in walked up to his unconscious form.
He looked bad, parts of of hair was burnt. Artemis looked at his
unconscious face and slowly her face turned gold. She looked at his
lips, they were so red, so kissable, she couldn't help herself as her
heartbeat started to raise. She bent down, she smelt him, the scent of
of the ocean after a storm mixed with the smell of something burning.
But as Artemis was inches away from his face, Percy's eyes shot open,
and Artemis drew back knowing her chance had slipped passed her
fingers.
"Shit," Percy removed many a splinter from his hair and body, "and
here I was thinking this was going to be easy."
Artemis chuckled, "yes, many things in life aren't quite so," she put
away her bow, 'like the fact that you couldn't have been unconscious
for a few more seconds?'. Artemis sighed, "are you hurt?"
"Not that badly," Percy assured her as his hands glowed gold healing
himself, "there, good as new."
"Good," Artemis smiled in relief.
"So where is that thing?" Percy asked looking around for the monster.
"I took care of it."
"Ah man," Percy groaned, "I wanted to have some more fun."
"You nearly got yourself killed and you wanted to have fun?"
"Hey I can handle myself, and yeah, I wanted to have fun," Percy
grumbled, "either way it doesn't matter, how did you defeat it anyway?"
"I used my divine form," Artemis stated as she looked around. She
quickly spotted several items the Balmoth left behind, "there, our loot."
Percy turned and smiled, "oh this is just perfect." Wave Rider's 'Greed'
mode was still active, and since technically speaking Percy did fight the
monster, and now that the monster was dead, there was now 5 times
the normal loot.
In front of them was a single scroll, Percy figured 5 scrolls with the
same spell would just be redundant. A couple of potions, 5 skill disks
with the number '10' on them and 5 red fur coats;
Giant Growth Spell Scroll,
A spell that will allow the user to temporarily increase the size of

Percy whistled, "okay now that is impressive," Percy put away
Waverider and took the potions handing them to Artemis, "here, you
will need these."
"What are they?" Artemis asked as she looked over the potions.
"They are health potions, very usefull, saved a few of my friends lives
on more than one occasion," Percy admitted remembering that time
Luke and the monsters stacked camp and Nina was basically on her
deathbed before he came along.
"But what about you? Surely with the war coming the camp will need
these as well?"
"The camp has plenty on store, we go on these types of hunts all the
time and often get potions as a reward. Plus I'm there with them, I'll be
able to heal them in case we run out or something," Percy scratched
his head, "and if I recall correctly the Apollo kids are currently trying to
replicate the potion's effects, you know, so that we can mass produce
them. But so far we haven't any luck."
Artemis nodded, "thank you Percy, this is very kind of you."
Percy shrugged, "think nothing of it," he then grabbed the scroll and the
skill disks, "if you don't mind I would like to take these things as my
loot."
"What are they?"
"This is a skill disk," Percy pointed at a golden disk, "it's something only
I can use, so it won't really be useful for you."
"And this is a spell call Giant's growth," Percy pointed at the spell, "it
can increase the size of the user. If I can learn how to use it we could
find a way to level the playing field against the Gergosas, you know,
fight fire with fire. Plus it would be extremely useful against the Titans
as well."
Artemis nodded, "very well, take them. I have no interest in the spell,
and if you can learn it and teach others then that's good enough for
me."
Percy nodded, "great," he turned to the red fur coats, "guess that
means those belong to you."
"What are they?"
Percy quickly explained the coats powers to Artemis and she became
very impressed. Percy picked up one of the coats revealing a small
little blue creature hiding underneath it. It looked like a smaller cuter
version of the Balmoth they had just fought. It had black beady puppy
dog eyes with small soft bones protruding out of it's body. It was not
bigger than Percy's fist, barely bigger than a full grown rat.
