Capítulo 17: Lorne Descends From The Sky!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
*Screeee! *
The mutated lizard let out an ear-piercing sound as it felt the pain. Its entire body suddenly one wing, and it struggled to maintain its balance, the other wing flapping wildly.
However, Lorne did not give it a chance at all. He air-walked and arrived above the mutated lizard. The divine sword directly thrust into the lizard's spine before he twisted it vigorously. A stream of green blood gushed up like a fountain, and it immediately lost signs of life.
Unfortunately, the lizard did not have a divine spark in its body, so it could not provide Lorne with energy.
After settling this event, Lorn began to practice his swordsmanship again.
...
On the other end of Tartarus.
Athena intended to leave Tartarus after she lost track of Hades.
However, before she could take action, a group of powerful magical beasts surrounded her and threw themselves at her.
It instantly put her in danger. After using one-third of her divine power, she broke free. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, another group of more powerful magical beasts came, led by something else with some intelligence.
As smart as she was, she immediately realized that something was wrong. It was not that she was unlucky, but someone was actually targeting her. However, she could not figure out who it was even after wracking her brains.
The only person who had a grudge against her were the Titans. However, they could not command the magical beasts of Tartarus.
She did not have time to think about it. She had to escape first. As she went deeper into Tartarus, the miasma grew thicker and thicker. The divine power in her body gradually became unable to sustain herself. In addition to the pursuit of the magical beasts, she fell into a dangerous situation several times.
She had already lost her way. The number of magical beasts behind her increased, causing her to lose hope.
"Is this the day where I sink into Tartarus?"
Athena laughed bitterly. She knew that she would probably not escape this time.
"You won't be able to escape!"
The voice of a magical beast came from behind her. It sounded like metal cutting through the ground. It was very bitter and unpleasant to hear.
Another flying magical beast blocked her path. She summoned her weapon and spear and dealt with it. However, she was delayed for a moment and the magical beasts behind her caught up.
"Why are you after me?"
Athena asked as she attacked, trying to figure out who was trying to kill her.
The magical beast did not say anything and ordered its subordinates to attack and consume Athena's divine power.
"Hmph! You filthy magical beasts! Sooner or later, I will be avenged!"
Athena immediately went after the intelligent magical beast.
She poured the last of her divine power into her weapon and struck with all her might!
It could not dodge in time and was struck in the abdomen.
The magical beast was enraged. "You asked for it!"
After saying that, it personally attacked. It was a devilfish. Its entire body was covered with pitch-black hard scales, and it could fly in the air.
She directly spat out an ice arrow from her mouth and fired it towards Athena with an armor-piercing force.
Athena dodged the ice arrow, but her arm was cut by another magical beast.
She put away her weapon and started to defend herself with her bare hands.
She looked very focused. She fought and ran. She would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
At the same time, she also used the terrain. A few days had passed, but Athena still fought on. It did not seem like she could be finished off.
This caused the devilfish to gradually lose its patience and attack more recklessly. Immediately, Athena found herself in a dangerous situation.
"PFFT!!"
Athena was exhausted at the moment, and she was also slow to react. A moment of carelessness was all it took, and she was hit on the back by a magical beast raising its claws. Her entire body was sent flying, and she crashed into a mountain rock in the distance, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
She could no longer resist. As the beasts surrounded her, she could not help but recall a figure in her mind -- Lorne.
This strange yet powerful and mysterious god had left an indelible impression on her.
"It looks like I won't be able to see you one last time!"
Athena muttered.
"As expected of one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. It was really troublesome to get rid of you!"
The devilfish kept opening its mouth to speak, and its tone was extremely cold. It had chased after and killed countless magical beasts along the way.
Athena closed her eyes at that moment, ready to accept the fate of death.
"Goodbye, Athena!"
After saying that, the devilfish decided to carry out its final attack.
Boom!
Just as it was about to make its move, a huge boulder suddenly flew over, forcing it to quickly dodge. Then, it looked behind with extreme vigilance.
"Who is it!" The devilfish had a bad premonition in its heart.
It saw an excessively young god descend from the sky. His expression was leisurely, and his demeanor was graceful.
"Who are you?" The devilfish directly ordered its many magical beasts to surround the person. It was somewhat unable to determine this person's strength.
"The one who kills you!"
The person's voice was neither slow nor soft, as if he was only speaking casually.
The devilfish was extremely angry when it saw this and laughed, "How delusional! With just you?"
It was both shocked and angry. It had not expected this person to be so arrogant. Even if it could not win, could it not escape?
Moreover, it still had tens of thousands of magical beasts under its command. They could buy some time for it to escape! This was Tartarus!
The devilfish did not know him, but Athena recognized the voice. She opened her eyes in disbelief and looked over with an incredulous expression. Suddenly, her body trembled.
It was the figure she had thought of before she was killed, Lorne!
That's right, it was Lorne. He had planned to leave after practicing his swordsmanship, but he suddenly sensed a familiar aura and rushed over.
He did not expect that Athena was being chased, which came as a great shock to him.
Good heavens, what did this girl do? She was being chased by an intelligent magical beast! One had to know that magical beasts rarely made such a move.
Out of curiosity, he had appeared and saved her.
As he heard the scornful voice of the devilfish, Lorn's expression did not change. He did not have the desire to talk to the magical beasts. He directly ignored the other party and swung his sword at it.
Boom!!!
The sword aura that tore through everything brought with it an irresistible power and instantly cut the devilfish into two halves. The scornful expression on the other party's face did not disappear and was frozen in death.
Not only it, but all the magical beasts around it were annihilated as well. They could not be more dead.
Lorne then put away his long sword and came to Athena.
"Are you alright?"
After helping her up, he asked with a trace of concern.
Athena was stunned at that moment. She had never expected that the person she loved would descend from the sky at the moment of her life and death. He had struck down the enemy with a sword and saved her.
"I'm... I'm fine!"
Athena shook her head to show that she was fine, but her heart was not as calm as she seemed.
