* * *

Crunchy.

As I slowly chewed and swallowed the bunch of celery, Orpheus and Asclepius, who heard me, came forward and questioned me.

"What do you mean! Even if that pure white fairy is dangerous now!"

"Hey, Dianes. Wasn't she precious to you? "Is it time to just sit down and eat salad!?"

Hmm...

Actually, these guys are right.

From the highest god to the twelve gods below them and their children, heroes, it is a place where sexual concepts and other things are all hardcore and extreme in an ancient way.

If you hear that a small, fragile, pretty girl was chased by a group of bullies, it would be natural to react like these two.

In addition, nymphs are mistreated by all kinds of gods and heroes, and they are tragic heroines who are chased out and turned into grass and trees. If it were said that the son of Poseidon and his gang, who were taboo even in the forest, reached out to the nymphs, It was natural to be worried like these two.

But.

"What if the opponent is Neri?"

I shrugged nonchalantly and reached for the wine jar.

"...What do you mean?"

Orpheus shouted in excitement as he caught the wine jar I was trying to grab.

"We have to go right now! Prestige and fame are common to humans who understand them.

Even if those fools are punished by the Sisters of the Sea later, your beautiful lover will be irreparably hurt!"

...Ugh.

When Orpheus raised his voice, Hercules, Jason, and Theseus, who were grilling meat, were surprised and ran towards him.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Is this the first time you've seen that bard scream like this?"

"Is there a problem?"

"That's it..."

Asclepius sighed and explained the whole story, and the three who heard it all looked at me with puzzled eyes.

"Hey, new student. You're not doing this because you only believe in Nesneria's sisters and the gods, right?

The guy said his girl is in danger now. "Are you saying that all I have to do is take care of things properly?"

Iason is the one who growls at me in a harsh tone and is deeply worried about Neri.

"No, anyway, the opponent is Orion, who was noted as a great hero before Hercules.

In addition, the children of lower-class gods who follow him are also people who deal with dark men and women and magic.

Even so, it would be too much for the nymph Nesneria to deal with. "Dianes"

Theseus is the one who roughly calculates the power difference and presents a pessimistic outlook.

"..."

And even Hercules, who sat across from me and stared at me without saying a word.

While receiving all the glares from the golden generation trio, I found this situation somehow amusing and just chuckled.

"What, if you have something to say, say it quickly"

As I was calmly adding olive oil to the salad with Hercules' eyes looking at me without saying a word, he grinned and started rubbing his hands together.

"As expected, you taught Nesneria something?"

After all, he is a potential great hero.

I wonder if he noticed something while we were briefly grilling meat together earlier.

He nodded and smiled as if he finally understood.

"Answer"

If you want to worry, you should worry about the idiots who tried to attack Neri without even knowing the topic.

If you had come and attacked me directly, you would have died gracefully, but why dare you attack Neri?

"...I would rather throw myself into the sea. "Stupid things"

When I said this while taking the wine jar from Asclepius and putting it in a cup, everyone started to put silent pressure on me and look at Hercules in turn as if they were seeing something mysterious.

"Ugh... That's why things that are bad for your body cause trouble for your head."

"It may seem like the opposite, but it's not entirely wrong."

Hercules, who was the only one who understood what I said, thought it was humorous, so I was shocked and said it, but it was definitely not wrong.

If you look at the comments Hercules has made so far, he is by no means a bad guy, but although he catches the essence the fastest, his words and actions are so crude that he feels a bit undervalued.

"Is it because there's nothing you can't do with your strength, so you don't have to use your brains?"

"Honestly, it's a bit like that."

"It will be easy to live in."

"Pretty good. How about you?"

"As you can see?"

"Right"

As Hercules and I chatted, forming a strange consensus, Theseus and Jason, who were worse off, became angry.

"...Could you explain it to me properly?"

"It's empathy. "Orpheus is spinning around so hard that he doesn't understand, but I don't understand what country you're talking about."

So, I felt like I had to convince them even if it meant being inconvenient, so I moistened my mouth with wine and summarized in one word.

"It means there will be a vacancy among students today."

Whether it's a dead person or a missing person remains to be seen.

◈ Chapter 48 - Deep Sea and Dark Sky

"But you're a sea clan, so if you behave well, I won't hurt you!"

This little nymph brought it all on herself.

This was the moment when Orion let out a roar and was about to grab Nesneria's white neck with a hand larger than her head.

"Don't touch me"

"What?"

He said this in a voice so cold that it was hard to believe that this was a nymph who had been behaving like a child just moments ago.

Ness Neria backed away from him and snuggled into his arms.

And.

- Whilick!

"Uh?"

As soon as the pure white shadow danced into his arms, as if by some kind of magic, Orion realized that his body was floating in the air.

Feet fluttering in the air, the ground spreading above my head for some reason.

And in an instant, a boulder stuck in the ground fell on his head.

"What is this..."

-Kwasik!

Before Orion could even scream, a tremendous pain, as if a star had fallen, hit his head.

"?!!"

A perfect piggyback ride that literally looks like it was drawn from a painting.

The strength of his legs and the weight of the large man turned into pain as he smashed his head.

A lightning-like pain starts from the head and hits the cervical spine and spine, and the extremities tremble out of control.

In the midst of his convulsions, cold, shining blue eyes looked down at him as he rolled ugly on the ground.

"Isn't it amazing? Dianes said that. It's a martial art that allows a small child to kill a giant.

What did they say... Uh... Being rude? Jumping on your back?"

A perfect counterattack technique that can only be seen in the Pankration game at the Olympia Festival.

However, Orion ground his teeth when he realized that it was this pretty nymph who fed him.

"This person...!"

"Okay? "There is only one man who can touch my body."

"What...What?"

Those blue eyes were still shining innocently as she squatted next to his head and looked down at him with her chin resting on her face.

However, what that innocence reflected was not good intentions and happiness, but pure cruelty.

"What is this smell? What about the ugly, rotting smell of water that neither flows nor flows away? Are you trying to put this smell on me? Dianes will hate it."

Nes Neria frowned in disgust and covered her nose with her hand.

Her Orion gritted his teeth and glared at her, writhing in pain at the insult he had heard for the first time in his life.

"Everyone, shut up! Compare me to that hybrid whose lineage you don't even know?!"

"What?"

Nesneria wondered if she had heard correctly.

What is this idiot saying now?

* * *

"Dianes, what do you mean? Are you saying that Nes Neria will have blood on her hands?"

"What? Blood?"

Puhahaha!

I couldn't stop laughing.

Are all the heroes of this Greek land blind?

I'm surprised that the idea of a nymph killing a hero seems like a huge change in thinking.

"Hercules, do you remember the Qigong that went into your body during the morning sparring?"

"Ugh...! It wasn't a joke. "Look at this."

Hercules lifted the drug-soaked bandage still tightly tied to his chest.

"Now that I'm talking about it, I ask, what on earth is that? Magic?"

"You used magic to do anything more than punching and cutting."

I also knew a bit about magic.

The magicians and alchemists who came from Europe beyond the Western Region that we met at the Church of the Heavenly Demon.

I had a chance to learn something about magic from them.

Magic and martial arts are different from their origins.

"Magic is twisting the flow and manifesting it according to your will."

Magic is about controlling and controlling the flow of rivers by damming them, building dams, and raising dams.

"Qigong is about twisting the flow and letting it flow according to your will."

Qigong is about creating a new water flow by opening a water channel and achieving one's wish through the flow of the water flow.

"Then here is the problem"

Streams, springs, and rivers.

And the source of all water to which it all reaches.

What if the oldest flow, the greatest incarnation of water, realized how to control the flow to form its own circle?

-...

The four people gathered here witnessed it for themselves.

I made a small gesture that put the young hero given by the gods into a near-death state.

If I had used my hand more cruelly, Hercules, who allowed me to strike him, might not have been here.

But what if such a thing were repeated in another hand, that of a delicate nymph?

I too could guess the picture they were drawing.

Therefore, I could continue the story only after repeatedly wetting my parched mouth with wine.

"For her, her flow is just everyday life. Whether it is the current of the ocean or the current of the river. Even the blood flow in the human body"

"...No way. "What do you say now?"

Asclepius, who had learned about qi and blood and veins from me, seemed to realize what I was talking about.

"Yes, nymph? Just a nymph? A poor, beautiful nymph?"

Haha...

I just let out a dry laugh.

"An immortal embodiment of the sea who sees and hears my every flow and reproduces them just by listening to my heartbeat?"

The pure white waves that made me tremble at the first time I fell into this world, the mystery beyond my knowledge.

I cherish that innocent fairy who made me realize my humanity again.

However, when pure white waves embraced me and my heart beat and my face blushed and our eyes met, I would catch a glimpse of the pitch-black deep sea beneath the waves.

"Purity, innocence. Yes, Nesneria. That beautiful nymph is innocent. "Like a clear spring, like white waves"

However, that innocence is sometimes crueler and more merciless than any malice.

Like a tsunami that sweeps away heaven and earth without distinguishing between good and evil.

Like an earthquake that engulfs the heavens and earth in all directions without any thought of karma.

"And pure will does not allow malice to approach it that it has not permitted."

And the end result of that unauthorized malice.

No one here except me would guess.

The three, excluding Hercules, seemed to have finally understood what I was saying and looked at each other with tense, tense faces.

"Well, then shouldn't we quickly go and stop it in another way?"

"Stop it? Why?"

I tilted my head at Jason's absurd argument.

"No! "Even if it's Moribae Orion and his gang, someone might die..."

Aha. Jason, this bastard, his tone is rough, but his heart is secretly soft.

However, I shook my head and forced Iason, who was trying to get up, to sit down again.

"Wow!? W-what kind of power...What's wrong with that?"

"Sit down and stop talking nonsense. "If you don't want to be swallowed up by those guys."

"Dianes is right. "Only they have to pay for their foolish behavior."

"Hercules! Even you!"

There is a saying that where fire passes, ashes remain, but where water passes, there is nothing.

This guy, Jason, was saying that he was going to die to save the idiots who ignored the tsunami warning and got swept away.

If I go, I might be able to suppress Neri even if he goes on a rampage, but the problem is that even I can't think of a reason to take the trouble to do so.

"Sometimes even Neri needs to change his mind."

I picked up a meat skewer sizzling on the grill and dipped it in some white yogurt sauce.

The savory fat, chewy meat, and spicy spices combine with the refreshing sauce to create harmony.

"It was cooked well, right? When Nesneria picks mushrooms, let's skewer them and grill them together. They will taste amazing."

"Mmm, it's delicious. But I guess I'll have to give up on the mushrooms Neri brings."

"What do you mean by that?"

What are you talking about?

For Neri, collecting is a game of collecting things that look fun and pretty.

"It's a good thing if you don't go see Samdocheon after eating."

Let's see.

If I put new meat on it now, will it be perfectly cooked by the time Neri comes?

I remembered Neri smiling brightly and chewing on a meat skewer, and I smiled happily and started grilling meat with Hercules.

* * *

Nereid nymph.

Those who sing of all the ocean currents in the world, and whose mother is the clear water that first quenched the thirst of all life.

If you listen closely, the water flowing through the land and forest whispers a song to them.

He put his ear to his lover's chest and blushed at the warm blood flowing through his heart.

From the deep sea where not even Apollo's sunlight shines to the beach where white waves crash, they freely move between light and darkness.

That's why I knew.

Dianes.

The black gem buried deep in her heart was something that could not even be compared to this evil demigod who had incurred the wrath of Amphitrite's sister.

When we first met.

When I reached out my hand to her hair, which was as black as the sky on a moonless day.

The Nereid nymph, Nesneria, could tell.

The current that swirled in his blood was deeper than the deepest ocean currents.

The scent rising from his body was stronger than the scent of the deepest moon night.

His heart was a jewel that emerged from the depths, not from this earth.

His soul was a gift that came not from this night, but from a far away place.

A secret that only she cherished in this vast Greece, a secret that even he didn't know about.

If the old half-man and half-demon hadn't taken him out of Pathos, Nesneria would have been hogging his time, reveling in his secrets alone.

As time passed, and as time passed and his body matured and grew old and fell into her arms, Nesneria would have carried him down into the deep sea.

When the currents of the deep sea strip away his cumbersome body, the pure and beautiful person seen in the sound of his heart will be greeted by a new, white bride.

"Yes, in the end, any night sky will just sink below the sea."

Amphitrite was like that.

If you want to catch a man, you can't just tie him up.

After all, the human body is fleeting compared to their time, and eventually the sunken black night will be held in her arms.

It is the consideration of eternal lovers that allows us to enjoy this world, even if only for a moment.

"But you, too, have half an eye on the sea, but you can't see it because of your own filth."

Pity me.

Pity or ridicule.

After speaking in an indecipherable tone, the white nymph stood up as if she had lost interest.

"This is fussing!"

"The nymph can just lie down quietly and sing!"

"I use strange magic! Hekyteris, tie up!"

"Ah Okay!"

The gang, who froze for a moment when their leader was killed in an instant, finally came to their senses.

She pounced on her.

Her nameless son of a lesser god is attempting to bind her by manipulating her vines.

As if she wasn't armed to catch her nymph, her three thugs rushed at her to catch her with their bare hands.

One hand reached out to touch her pure white hair.

One hand reached for her soft neck.

However, the daughter of the sea had no intention of granting them anything.

Even though they are sisters of a thousand waves embracing the vast sea, they are too ugly to be accepted as even the slightest wave.

"Dianes... Did this, right?"

Tok, tok, tok.

A light and fleeting sound like water droplets bouncing.

It was the sound of her white fingers brushing against her hands as they tried to violate her.

"Uh?"

"Why is this like this?"

"Ugh...Ugh!"

Have you ever seen water droplets dancing cheerfully in a deep ballroom over a fire?

From springs and rivers, reaching the flames, they slowly rise into the air, singing bubbling and cheerful.

Nesneria enjoyed watching the dance of water droplets dancing over the flames with Dianeth.

And as much as that moment of fire, Nesneria loved the dance that Dianes performed while embracing the flow of all things in her body.

"So, I combined fun and love into one."

Like this!

A pure white nymph laughing innocently.

The three beasts surrounding her began to dance to the accompaniment of her screams, clutching her own arms, which bubbled like boiling water.

"Ugh! "Hot, hot!!"

"Say, save me. It's my fault!"

"Aaaaah! Chiaaa..."

The dance of water that began with the contact of pure white fingers soon spread to their entire bodies.

Intense pain, as if all the blood in my body had turned into boiling oil.

The pain far exceeded the limits of their bodies, and the three criminals forgot to scream and fell to the ground, just flopping around like deflated pig pee.

Orion, who was still unable to get up due to the shock that had hit his entire body, and the trembling wizard, who had forgotten what he was trying to cast the spell, could only stare blankly at the end of his gang.

And in the midst of this frenzy, only the white nymph's chatter rang out.

"What was it...? "Dianeth worked hard to prepare something like Hecate's alchemists did...?"

What was it?

Nesneria tilted her head with an innocent face as if she couldn't remember.

However, she soon opened her eyes and laughed and clapped her hands.

"Oh right! "Did you say fireworks?"

As if the sound of applause was a signal, a cheerful explosion of sound echoed within the wizard's barrier that had been spread to cover up their evil deeds.

◈ Chapter 49 - The Seductress With a Poisonous Smile

I threatened him not to even think about leaving this place, and since Hercules refused to do so, the others had no choice but to sit quietly.

"Okay..."

"Is this really the right thing to do? No matter how bad their behavior may be, Orion and his gang are members of this forest..."

"We just hope that the beautiful nymph doesn't enjoy blood."

As I was grilling meat with Hercules, the chatter of the other Golden Generations mercilessly stabbed me in the back, as if I was really planning to just sit there until the meat came out.

The way you speak or the words you say.

They were the ones who came to mind, those from political factions who took care of their own family members, even if they raped or massacred them.

"I'm not saying that's bad."

As I slightly shrugged my shoulders and turned the lamb over, Hercules, who was tearing the raw meat across from me into bite-sized pieces, shook his head in agreement.

"It's not wrong to follow Hestia's virtues.

However, without the power of Ares and the wisdom of Athena, it is nothing but nonsense."

"Yes, in order to realize a good, you need the wisdom to see it right and the strength to put it into practice."

Other than that, it's just speculation.

In that sense, they were similar to the members of the Murim League that I had seen in my past life.

Even though we are from the same political faction, we are still members of the same forest.

Those who think with more emphasis on the object's belonging rather than its being, state, or good or evil.

And yet, they argued among themselves in the mountains about what is good and what is good, and watched the world go crazy, and in the end, they all fell apart in my hands.

'Now that I think about it, most of those guys, like the so-called political faction leaders, fell down in their own grass and ended their lives in tragedy.'

First, Theseus kidnapped a girl who was much younger than me so that she could be the helmsman, but her country was taken away by her brothers, and the king of the exiled kingdom later caught him and killed her.

Jason had a hard time completing the throne succession quest, but it was probably because the wife he took with him was a witch.

When he tried to leave his wife and take her concubine, his wife ruined his family and he lost his mind and died in an accident.

Asclepius was caught between the bean powder personalities of Olympus, died in a lightning bolt, and was reincarnated as a god.

Orpheus went to the underworld to save his wife and returned, but due to his own negligence, the quest to revive his wife failed.

Killed by passing drunkards.

...Wow.

Looking at it like this, none of the people here died after living an easy life.

"Hey! "You're burning meat!"

"...Oh"

And this heroic sprout who makes a fuss about eating meat in front of me...What can I say?

Of all the guys gathered here, isn't this guy the one with the most twisted nose?

"Hey. Why do you look at me like that? "Like I'm looking at an old man who's going to die soon?"

"...It is nothing"

Shin Jae-gwi was like that.

Let's live each other's lives.

It is said that everything in this world is up to oneself, and that each person must take care of his or her own interests.

This person and that person all have a reason to endure hardships, overcome them, and leave their names in history and mythology.

Just as in the past, I received the wish of a million demons, ascended to that heavy dragon robe and hell-fire-like throne, and became a god.

First of all, since I am here, I may be able to influence their lives to a certain extent, but getting involved beyond that and changing their lives is wrong and should not be done.

It was foolish to hastily feel sorry for them when we couldn't even touch them.

"By the way, is it okay if I don't go to Nesneria?"

"Hmm, shall we go quickly? "Because the playing is over."

Ugh, I don't know how much trouble I'll have to go through to rebuild my original inaction.

Is it time to worry about others?

After organizing my thoughts, I reach out for the new meat again.

Something strange caught my eye.

"Hey. "What is that?"

"Ok? What?"

"That. "Is that... A bird in the sky?"

The moment I looked up and followed the smoke rising from the grill.

Under the bright moon halo, something freely traversing the sky caught my eye.

"...Pink bird?"

Colorful aircraft that gave off an enormous presence that could not be seen without attracting attention were freely moving through the sky.

I even saw aerobatics and 360-degree turns that made me think, "Look at me," To attract aggro.

It's probably not even a bird.

Is it really possible that ancient UFOs really existed?

...I barely tried to relieve the tension with a meaningless thought, but I put the brakes on the fact that over a hundred years have passed and that it is not such a meaningless thing.

"Why is there a strong smell of an accident..."

Nevertheless, if you sense an unusual intuition, quickly raise your eyesight and take a look.

The blood-red eyes were looking directly at me, smiling venomously.

"What on earth are you looking at? What is pink again? "The sky was rough today and there were no birds?"

Hercules, who was confused, was busy talking next to me, but I had no power to respond.

Its identity was a woman.

Long pink hair, a beauty that boasts sensuality even from a distance, and a poisonous smile on top of it all made people call her a seductress.

However, the large bat-like wings behind her and the unusual blood-red aura around her told me that she was a god, and a very, very dangerous god at that.

"...I'm coming back"

With only those words left, I deployed Mangyangbo with all my might.

The place where the goddess with that poisonous smile was heading was clearly towards the forest where Neri had headed.

It looks like he doesn't want to let things go quietly tonight either.

* * *

Even the grass bugs were astonished by the tragedy, as there were two figures wandering around in the seemingly quiet forest.

"Ugh! Hmm...!"

"Poetry, poetry, poetry. "Shut up!"

Orion, son of Poseidon, and Hecateris, son of Hecate.

They were each in the spotlight as the next great hero and great shaman, but the glory and confidence of that time was nowhere to be seen. He was even reduced to a profiteer, and the insidiousness he threw at nymphs and female heroes, or the ferocity he wielded against those weaker than him, was nowhere to be seen.

Hair disheveled and unsightly, tunic stained with dirt and leaves, hands and knees bleeding from rolling on the ground so much.

However, what would be more shocking to others than anything else was the face that was reminiscent of that of a madman.

Eyes that are wide open, mouths that are open and dripping with saliva and blood, and crooked noses.

It's hard to say that he was once a minor hero who harvested in the Forest of Heroes.

He had such a miserable appearance that he could hardly be considered a treacherous tyrant who persecuted countless young talents.

However, the indescribable and horrendous tragedy that had just happened before their eyes was enough to shock even the strongest of spirits.

"Kyahahaha! Where! Hide and seek? Hide and seek? Whatever it is, I like it!

Dianes did it! "If something happens, you have to clean up after it!"

So don't run away~

And a clear voice that touches the back of their heads like a whip while they are out of breath.

As soon as they felt even a little bit weak and slowed down, the voice that flew at them made it impossible for them to slow down.

How long did it run like that? Eventually, the wizard, whose strength was exhausted, screamed at Orion.

"Oh, oh, Orion...!"

"W-what! "If you want to search, search alone!"

"Strange! "That's strange!"

"What on earth is strange!"

"This forest!"

"What?"

It was only after hearing what his last remaining gang member said that Orion also realized something was strange.

Originally, the forest for hunting and gathering practice attached to the Forest of Heroes was not very large.

At best, if Orion runs at full speed, it can be covered in 5 minutes.

But they had been running through this forest for over thirty minutes now.

"How did this happen...?"

"That's not all!"

If things continue like this, it is obvious that the profiteer will leave him as bait and run away.

Just as the wizard, who had to somehow stick to him, was rolling his eyes eagerly, he discovered the biggest surprise.

"All, there is no moon"

"What?"

Orion was startled by those words and looked up at the sky, and it was only then that he too could sense something strange.

It was a clear night without a single cloud, and Artemis' chariot, which was supposed to be looking down on them, was not visible.

"This. "How did this happen?"

Looking up at the knight who could not stand still, the son of Poseidon and child of Hecate felt his legs weaken and could not stand.

- Hairstone!

The moon was the goddess' chariot that ran through the night and the eye of Olympus that protected Greece day and night.

But the moon disappeared?

A force so powerful that it could even blind the eyes of Olympus had imprisoned them and this forest.

"How on earth is this possible? This is the Forest of Heroes! "It is an absolutely unchanging sanctuary given by the wise man Chiron to the twelve gods of Olympus!"

The child of Hecate, who was well versed in witchcraft and magic, encountered strange phenomena that could not be explained by any of the wisdom he had learned.

He seemed to have lost his mind and screamed, holding his head.

No god, much less the god-king Zeus, would dare to show such great personal prestige in this forest of heroes.

It was a sacred place dedicated to the honor of the Twelve Gods of Olympus, and even to the king of the underworld who had no enemies in Olympus, out of respect for Chiron.

It was impossible to unleash divine power so great that it could hide the moon in this forest.

"This...This..."

Orion gritted his teeth as he saw the last of his gang kneeling on the ground and screaming.

How did things get so twisted?

What on earth did he mess with?

Why did he have to suffer this humiliation?

Orion could only move on from the endless questions and endless hatred.

"I am... This son of Poseidon...!"

Orion, whose entire body was trembling with despair and hatred, slowly raised his head at the sight of a figure that had landed in front of him.

"Are you very busy?"

There, a beautiful seductress was looking down at him, smiling venomously.

◈ Chapter 50 - I Have to See Blood

"Uh! Dianes party!"

"Neri?"

As I was trotting through the trees, a familiar voice suddenly called out to me from below.

I quickly stopped and looked down to see our beautiful youngest daughter, Oceanus, running and gesturing towards me.

...Covered in blood all over.

When I got down to the ground with a sigh, this little bird was so happy that it lunged at me to be hugged.

"Diiiii~ Ahhh~ I was scared~"

"Why are you lying without even putting saliva in your mouth? "Didn't I tell you not to fight with a bloody person?!"

The nymph lunges at me to give me a good hug, and I grab her forehead and push her out of fear that I too will bleed.

Even though I thought this was some kind of comedy, it was ridiculous, but I was able to take a breather for now because I thought it would be better for the thugs who tried to hurt me to die than for Neri to get hurt.

"Where are you injured?"

"Doesn't exist!"

"Who are the people who hurt me?"

"Doesn't exist?"

"...Who is the dead one?"

"About three?"

"What about the body?"

"Doesn't exist"

"What about the living one?"

"About two? "I ran away that way."

Um, really?

Then, the fewer mouths you have to speak, the better.

"Good job, but I wish it had been done a little neater."

It is a world where even the laws are vague, and violence and thugs are increasingly prevalent.

In such a world, showing mercy to such a delicate and beautiful nymph, even though she has power, and asking her to live would end up harming this child.

I told you that if you must use your hands, be very careful and never allow them to touch any of the Nereid nymphs, including you.

"That was also a story when I was teaching Geumnasu and Gwongak..."

Looking at this, it seems that at least those who died did not die happily.

Because what this Nereis nymph took away from me when her innate genius blossomed was Oonwipagong, a bizarre and bizarre technique created by the esoteric magic of leader and Podalap esoteric Buddhism.

"First of all, you're not hurt, so it's okay."

Hehe... Thank you for your concern."

"How about we do something with the blood first? "Let's take a look"

"Oh! "Look at my mind, wait!"

-Clap clap!

Neri lightly clapped her hands, and her groundwater welled up at her feet and slowly enveloped her, blooming in an instant, sucking up her flesh and disappearing into the ground.

"Voila!"

"It's always amazing to see it."

She is a sea nymph, but is it because her mother is the goddess of clear water?

Perhaps that is why Neri used groundwater and spring water freely.

Anyway, Neri's hygiene has improved so she can move on, but that's not what matters now.

"Neri, have you ever seen anything strange?"

"Anything strange?"

"What can I say? She's the kind of girl whose color looks like she overdosed on dye or something. She's a goddess with bat-like wings.

"Something like that"

"I don't know? "I had three people explode earlier, and I was playing tag with the other two, and Dianeth came out."

"Okay?"

I'm sure I didn't see it wrong.

Was it just a passing god?

"Let's get out now"

"Eh? Why! "I haven't even gathered all the mushrooms yet!"

"So, I flew all the way here and you don't even say hello?"

For now, I grabbed Neri's shoulder and pushed her hard to get away from the accident.

For some reason, an unfamiliar voice naturally joined our conversation.

"...Ok?"

"Ha...Damn"

I couldn't help but curse softly because I had a bad feeling that another accident had caught me.

A voice full of playfulness and laughter rang out from above.

I don't want to see it.

An already long day is barely coming to an end, but the voice is so funny that it's obvious that it's going to make the night even longer.

"Oh? Why are you reacting like that? "Aren't you so captivated by this pretty girl's beauty that you chased her so hard?"

"Pretty sister? Dia. Are you a girl again?"

"What are you talking about again?"

I held my forehead in response to Neri's reaction, which did not read the atmosphere at all.

Suddenly, long hair reminiscent of strawberry milk appeared before my eyes.

"Hello~ Our youngest~?"

Blood-red eyes sparkling with interest, curiosity, and fun.

Pink hair that can be clearly seen even from afar and bat wings reminiscent of Dracula.

And she was a beautiful woman with an alluring look and a sinister smile, as if she was thinking about a bad prank.

A woman with a strong impression that I would never have remembered if I had passed by her in my previous life, past life, or even in my current life, was hanging upside down in the air, gently waving her hand towards me.

But what did such a goddess call me now?

"Hey, do you know me?"

"No? "It's our first meeting."

"Yes?"

As I was perplexed by a title that I had never heard in my three lives and was so alien to me, Neri was pulling at the hem of my clothes from behind.

"Di, dia..."

"Neri?"

For some reason, Neri lowered her head and clung to me, trembling.

Did this strawberry milk do something?

I slowly retreated and spread my magical energy to protect Neri, and only then did her body stop shaking.

"Oh~ Are you already handling her mother's divine power like that? "Something great?"

"What the fuck... What did you do to that kid?"

I can't believe that the Nereid nymph, who is so bright and cheerful no matter where she goes, even when faced with a bear the size of a pack, suddenly becomes scared like this.

She was alert to the possibility that she might be using some kind of spirit-related attack or trick, and slowly raised her magical power and energy.

"Kyahaha! Calm down~ He's just a sensitive kid, so he's just overreacting to my divine power."

"Where do you blame the child? Isn't it a problem that you can't control your energy and you're dragging your feet?

"If you don't back off right away... Hm?"

"Oh?"

The sight of the woman who turned around and stood upright in front of me made me angry without realizing it, and my words came out strongly.

'Something is strange!'

As soon as I laid eyes on this woman, I felt like something was bubbling up inside me.

Should I feel a surge of rejection and anger as if I were encountering a person who, if not my enemy, is my evil lover?

When I saw blood-red eyes observing me with interest, as if encouraging this, I realized that my current state was not caused by me, but by the woman in front of me.

After the calculations were quickly completed, I switched from the divine magic energy I had been emitting for intimidation back to martial arts deep energy and began to focus on breathing and using energy.

"Whoa..."

Then, in an instant, the delusion and anger that had filled my head disappeared, and my heartbeat, which had been pounding with anger and rejection, returned to its proper place.

"...Wow"

As if she didn't know I would do this, the pink woman was letting out an exclamation of surprise with her eyes.

"Neri, are you okay?"

"Ugh... Dia, my head hurts..."

"Where and how does it hurt? "Stuck?"

Neri's condition also improved after I used a magic trick to block the woman's influence, but she sat there and began to groan as the aftereffects remained.

"Hey...!"

"It's okay, it's okay. "Hold on a little bit."

What on earth is God doing? How can a child who was so full of energy become exhausted just by appearing in front of us?

While raising her alertness in my mind, I thought it would be best to move her first, so I picked her up.

"Uh? Huh? "Go, go?"

"First of all, the child is not in good condition. What can I say? Above all, they use tricks like this from the first meeting. "It's really unpleasant."

"Wow, hey! Do you know who I am?"

"Do I need to know who it is?"

Still, the sight of it popping up out of nowhere and making the first move is very familiar, so I guess she is a goddess.

I was worried that the temper tantrum I was causing earlier would just go away, even if it was gradual.

"First of all, you were the one who used the trick without revealing my name, so if we have business to do, let's move this child over first."

"Did you say Neri...? Since it's a nickname, it seems like you're calling the child pretty? Lover?"

I gritted my teeth at the apparent provocation of putting Neri on the line.

"...I know that if you cross the line any further, you will be considered a god and a fool and will not be seen as worthy."

My anger soared in an instant as I saw the interest in those blood-red eyes go beyond me and towards Neri.

It's okay to challenge me.

It's okay to touch me.

Each moment and each crisis is an opportunity for me, and as long as I learn magic and follow the law of strong self-respect, hardship and criticism are not something to avoid, but to overcome them head on.

However, if I tried to reach out to anyone other than myself, I was ready to see blood at any time.

Even if it is not only the blood of the enemy but also my blood.

It was like that even when it was a thousand miles.

Enemies who challenged me and tried to fight me were welcomed, but the cowards who attacked me had to be destroyed.

"I'm sick of relationships that follow me at will and disappear suddenly."

-Phew!!

In response to my emotions, the Shinmagi roared, enveloping my entire body like a huge flame.

It becomes a shield to protect me at any time, and a spear to stab the enemy.

Eventually, due to my will, it will become a huge disaster that will burn down everything in the world.

The nameless pink goddess was surprised for a moment by my violent reaction, and her face hardened.

She soon started to giggle again and tilted her head as if she was teasing me.

"Hoo... If you say it that way... I'm even more jealous and can't back down?"

It's like a goddess who can't listen to words.

"Then, I'll have to see blood."

-Fuhwaak!

A huge sword of black flame soared through the sky.

◈ Chapter 51 - Daughters of Nyx: Eris and Nemesis

The Maiden of Embers, the Herald of Disaster, the Rascal of Discord and the Goddess of Conflict.

Eris, daughter of Nyx and feared by Olympus and Greece, felt as if she was walking on clouds.

Nyx's sons and daughters gathered in Tartarus for the first time in a while at her mother's call.

Even in her eyes, the three sisters with a mysterious fate, the Moirai sisters.

The solemn Nemesis sister, the taciturn brother Thanatos, the boatman brother Charon, and the Hypnos brother who is dozing off at the entrance to the abyss.

All brothers and sisters who are currently active and conscious in Greece have gathered together.

Nyx's children are astonished and fearful when they encounter even one human or god.

The words of Mother Night, who gathered them all together and emerged from the depths of Tartarus, were truly shocking.

Their brother was born after thousands of years.

The stone-like Nemesis sister was so shocked that she couldn't keep her mouth shut,

Thanatos' brother, who had been quiet, widened his eyes,

Charon the boatman lost her rudder,

Hypnos woke up with a start.

Even here, the three fateful sisters who were spinning the potter's wheel almost dropped their items.

There was no need to tell how big an event this news was.

When her mother added that she was made of a human body and was now wandering around Greece, her siblings felt like they had been hit on the head.

Why, why, why?

The old chestnut mother disappeared into the abyss again, leaving behind only a brief reunion with her children, whom she had met for the first time in hundreds of years, and an extraordinary bombshell.

The reason for their astonishment was not that their mother had created a new sibling for the first time in thousands of years.

The problem was that she had molded her children, her creations, into human beings.

Humans are beings who were granted innate uncertainty and endless possibilities by the chaos of the beginning.

They are finite, but they change from generation to generation, and sometimes all humans develop in an instant due to the before and after beings that pop up among them.

Unless they are immortal and inherit a divine karma, they are the exact opposite of gods, whose essence is unchanging, and even those gods were lumps of unpredictable possibility.

The great prophecy that Olympus needs a human hero to prevent the war predicted by Gaia also means that when the power of the gods and the potential of humans are combined, the possibility of overcoming the curse of the protogenoi arises.

Even the old god kings of the previous Titan era were afraid of the potential of humans allowed by Chaos, and in order to destroy that possibility themselves, they downgraded humanity to insignificant beings and trampled them.

However.

The child of the primordial night, the mother of fate and the fear of even the God King of Olympus, was born in a human body?

"Chaos oh my..."

"Mother what the hell..."

"Sister, us..."

"""It's ruined"""

Leaving behind the goddesses of fate, who are collapsing in unison, and death and the boatman, who are obviously thinking of useless things.

Eris laughed breathlessly alone and stomped her feet.

'It's gonna be fun!'

Between humans and gods.

Although it was created as a human being, its essence clearly belongs to the night of the beginning like them, so it will definitely be the beginning of a great upheaval.

As the goddess of discord and strife, Eris had already smelled a huge conflict and was about to move quickly.

-Kwasik!

"Eww?!"

As soon as she spreads her wings, a pitch-black scale sword cuts down on the hem of her clothes.

When I looked up and followed her teeth, I saw her pure white eyes glaring at her.

"Huh, sister? What's the matter?"

"Eris, you were definitely thinking something strange again, right?"

Goddess of judgment and cause and effect, a stern guardian who calls for justice.

Nemesis.

As Eris spoke, her older sister, whom she called Stone Woman, was glaring at her with her stern eyes.

Her six fiercely fluttering black wings, and her long hair, as jet black as the wings, were in perfect contrast to her pure white skin.

And the sharp white eyes that seemed to see through all the lies in the world seemed as if they had no pupils, so much so that even her younger sister, Eris, was startled at times.

"No, what did I do?!"

"You'd rather deceive your mother. "Don't think about telling me lies that don't work for her."

"...Tch!"

Nemesis As her older sister said, Eris planned to leave the underworld immediately and go find her youngest brother, who had not even seen her face.

How she had been mistreated because she was the youngest among her siblings.

Now that he has a great younger brother to whom he can pass on all the hardships he has endured, will he just sit back and watch?

However, the Goddess of Judgment, who had been in charge of her since her childhood, had already penetrated her insides.

"Ugh... Sleep. "Take Eris."

"What is this...Huh?"

What Nemesis handed over was a pitch-black wooden board.

Sometimes, those who commit unpardonable sins receive the wooden tablet of Nemesis, and only those who have committed the greatest sin receive the black wooden tablet.

"Orion? Ah! "Are you that bastard son of a bitch who Amphitrite saved when Poseidon killed him when he was born?"

"Yes, I am a sinner who foolishly committed a mortal sin."

"It did cause a lot of conflict in the forest. "Every time Chiron came to greet me, he started looking for Orion, but when that guy named Hercules came in, it became quiet."

But what did this idiot do to get his name listed as the judge of Nemesis?

"He committed incest and even attempted to harm and violate the daughter of Oceanus. But that's nothing."

"Never mind?"

-Bang!

As if unable to bear her anger, Nemesis pulls out the scale sword that pierced the hem of Eris's clothes and strikes it again.

Seeing that bloody sight, Eris can't help but run away! She never thought of doing that.

"How dare you... The night of old, the darkness of the beginning, the mother whom I must adore! "It is a sin to insult a brother without knowing it, to insult a brother who is still burdened with human karma, and to blasphemously allow this to reach my ears in this moment of darkness!"

'...Oh'

I don't know, but I think it would be better for this guy named Orion to die cleanly.

Just as Eris was thinking this, she noticed one thing from her sister's angry words.

"So... Our youngest member is involved in this?"

And what does it mean to tell me this?

Nemesis couldn't help but clutch her forehead as she saw her younger brother quickly gaining momentum and urging her to quickly tell the next story.

"...Whew, is this a good thing?"

From the perspective of Nemesis, who respected and loved his mother more than any of his brothers and sisters in the world, Orion was truly a high treasonous sinner.

Her true intention is to rush to the Forest of Heroes right now and throw that young, rude sinner into a life more painful than hell.

However, Poseidon, who had heard that her son's name had been put on her judgment, blocked her right before entering the underworld.

At first, her Olympians stood in her way with her giant waves in the name of her three great gods.

As her scale sword struck her, she swung her trident, causing an earthquake, and struck her scale sword.

Even the Three Great Gods had no way to stop Nemesis from carrying out her legitimate duties.

In the end, Poseidon threatened to block all entrances to the underworld with earthquakes and tsunamis as if it were his last effort.

From Nemesis' point of view, her own deity is also a deity, but for the first time in hundreds of years, her mother is calling her and she cannot delay any longer. Once she opens her way, she will welcome her mother and negotiate with her sea god. A situation that I swore I would do.

However, before the criminals found out about this and ran away or Poseidon hid them, they had to infiltrate the Forest of Heroes and hunt down the ruthless criminals.

"Hmm... So, let me go now and talk to that guy named Orion. He looks like we're having fun..."

"What did you say?"

"...You mean to take care of the poor brother who heard that insult?"

As soon as Eris's shoulders twitched at her interest and amusement, the balance sword swayed in response.

The poor youngest child who can't win with neither strength nor time. No, she's not the youngest anymore.

In any case, the beautiful and pitiful maiden of conflict, discord, and competition had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Nemesis nodded her head in satisfaction at the sight of Eris becoming quiet and continued her story again.

"That's right. No matter how much he is a child of a great and benevolent mother and a member of the Nyxproles who are feared even by Olympus,

It is said that only three days have passed since he entered the Forest of Heroes, so he would be no match for the son of Poseidon, who had already wielded violent weapons against numerous minor heroes.

Go and arrest that criminal and protect his weak brother!"

Just a few minutes ago, the maiden of strife and strife was now facing the crisis of her life at the hands of her fragile younger brother.

-Whoop!

"Fukiyak?!"

A black sword of immense power, reminiscent of Nemesis's balance sword, instantly grazed her forehead.

"Uh? Damage?"

If the childhood Nemesis is Nyx's daughter, she must also be good at martial arts, and it was a moment when her tearful memories of her training in hell and of being literally stabbed and cut countless times by that scale sword in the abyss of Tartarus shined through.

"Um, there? Are you the youngest? "I was wrong, let's talk first..."

But that's how I knew.

This guy is by no means just a little hero.

If I were to be picky, I might get beaten to death by my youngest's hands today and have to spend a year in the abyss for treatment.

Thus, an extraordinary miracle occurred where the goddess of conflict and the maiden of discord gave up her tail in the dispute she had ignited and demanded negotiation.

"So I've never had a sister like you?"

...In fact, the beneficiary of the miracle seemed to have no intention of accepting it at all.

-Roaring!

The youngest brother grinds his teeth harshly and adds black flames to the sword in his hand.

How on earth do you think that is my weak younger brother, a kid who has only been in the Forest of Heroes for three days?

Eris was in tears and blamed her older sister for not being here.

As her sister said, it wasn't difficult for her to catch her darling named Orion.

The aura of base jealousy and discord was wafting even from afar. Following this, I went down to the Forest of Heroes to avoid Chiron's eyes, and saw the little hero lying in a mess, looking like he had no idea what had happened.

First of all, she had to avoid the eyes of the Olympian gods, including Poseidon, so she used her mother's power to separate this forest area from the outside world and came in person to punish her sinners who dared insult her mother.

Her lust bloomed as she looked up at her son, the son of Poseidon, looking up at her.

The sight was so shocking that I had to suppress it a bit, but since the mission given by Nemesis was completed, it was time to enjoy the much-anticipated reunion with the youngest.

Even from far up in the sky, the black-haired little hero looks so pretty that you'd think he was our youngest.

Her hair was completely black, and her face was white and pretty, so for some reason, I had the absurd idea that Nemesis might have looked like that when she was young.

She was smart enough to just give me a quick glance, and she ran to find her sister.

She was like a girl raising a young puppy, and despite her uniqueness and cuteness, I decided that I shouldn't have to train her to hell like Nemesis did.

What is this?

Now Eris is about to be eaten.

-Bang! Bang!

"Continue? Damage?"

How on earth could he show such miraculous feats? Her younger brother fiercely swung the black sword and black flame while holding the unconscious nymph in his arms.

"Profit! Avoid it! "Otherwise, I'm going to die!"

"So, why do you bring death upon yourself? Tired of each other!"

On the surface, it seemed like a typical sibling fight, but the black sword her youngest wielded was somehow blocking her from flying or any movement to hide her body.

Like an oriole being herded into its cage, her youngest sword was pressing and constricting her with all its might.

Eris was confused as to what kind of martial arts and magic in the world could entangle Nyx's daughter.

Although the opponent was also born as a human, he is actually Nyx's son.

It was also a rare singularity in which humans were given the power of Nyx and the potential chaos.

In some ways, it's not that I don't understand it.

"No, but! "What if they use this on me?"

Eris had tears in her eyes and was whining like she did to any of her siblings.

There was not an ounce of pity in her youngest child's eyes.

"Guyu Demon Sword – Super Yeolgyeong"

All things black flame

"Black salt...What?"

The youngest, who couldn't even speak yet, said something like a magic spell and swung a sword with blazing black flames.

Her pitch-black flames rushed towards her, melting everything in its path.

-Whaaaaa!!

"Aaaaah!"

And when the seemingly endless race of flames ended.

At the edge of the black flames, Eris stood up glimmering.

"Oh...?"

"You...You...!"

Seeing her youngest child bursting out in admiration as if she had never expected this to happen, the Goddess of Discord released her defense shield with her eyes burning.

"Is it okay for the youngest sister to be like this...?"

"Even though you say that, you were the one who crossed her line first."

"Well, that's just a joke!"

"You were the one who drained the child's energy with an unknown trick and then openly fluttered your wings and threatened to mess with Neri. "Isn't it natural to get beaten up?"

The youngest, who tilted her head and swung her sword in this direction but still did not let go of the white nymph from her hand, scolded Eris and her entire body trembled.

I am your sister.

I am your older sister.

She is no longer the youngest, and she is a senior goddess who must teach the youngest in front of her by crushing her under her ass like a Nemesis sister...

"Now that the black flame is gone, is it now the turn of the devil?"

Her youngest child gently placed her nymph on her back and took a stance holding her black sword with both her hands.

The black flame that burned like a torch subsided in an instant.

No, it didn't sink.

It was just compressed onto the surface of the sword and not visible on the outside.

"The Black Flame has been blocked, but what about the Dark Flame?"

For the first time, a smile appeared on the cold, sculptural face of the youngest child.

Very cold, very cruel.

It was truly a cruel smile that suited her taste.

"Gu Yu-geom-Cho Yeol-gyeong..."

The black sword that rose high in the sky slowly fell again toward Eris, who was far away.

A smile that is so captivating and such a beautiful sword.

She was so distracted by this that she almost forgot to avoid Eris.

-Chaeng!

"That's it. "Brother"

The sword of judgment with its pure white scales and karma blocked the black sword.
