Chapter 77: Another Awakened Like Him
{It's time.}
{Wake up, Sekhmet.}
Sekhmet's large, dark blue eyes shot open, glaring at the notification that blinked ominously in front of him. The sharp pain in his head from being torn out of sleep was annoying, especially when it came at a crucial moment of rest. He groaned softly, pushing himself off the cold, dusty ground. The filth clung to his long, unruly blue hair, and his shirt, once white, was now smudged with grime.
He stood slowly, yawning as he stretched. His focus shifted to the two figures looming over him: C-rank hunters. They had been sent after him for scamming them in a casino bet, and it seemed they were eager to exact their revenge.
Teaser: Who is Sekhmet in Mythology
Sekhmet, the lion-headed goddess of ancient Egypt, was the embodiment of pure, unrelenting power—both a destroyer and a healer. Known as the "Eye of Ra," she unleashed chaos on humanity when their disobedience enraged the gods, her bloodlust so insatiable that even the mighty Ra feared her. Legends whisper that her breath was the desert wind, her gaze alone capable of death, and if you caught her eye, it was already too late—her wrath could not be escaped.
