Chapter 297: Plan to stop Perseus

3rd person view

As Kate and Luca are walking away from the scene, their gods then informed them that they can sense another portal opening up and incidentally right above them.

Albert and Aenon dropped out of it, Albert didn't expect to see 2 girls down there and landed terribly. And in a cliché fashion, each of his hands somehow ended up on their chest. He got up quickly and purifying his hands with light magic while mumbling an apology to Cecily to himself.

-You pervert- Helena commented -You already have a girlfriend-

He then apologized to the 2 reincarnates and introduced himself. He then told them what he's here to do.

"Minimize? Not stop?' Kate asked "Shit!"

"You do not know the limits of his power, one of his current girlfriends got kidnapped and tortured once, and the person who did it was never to be seen again" Aenon explained "Arthur, a strong person who could easily defeat us at the time, yet he lost to a 16 year old"

"Are you sure you're a guy?" Albert asked Luca

"Do you want me to show you?" Luca asked

"Ah no thank you" Albert coughed

"I'm not even sure how much we can minimize the lost" Albert sighs

"Since he is originally from your world, can you tell us information about him?" Aenon asked "We got only a super short summary about the fact that he was a strong soldier but nothing else"

Luca and Kate then took out a file that they brought with them, it's a file about Perseus when he was Grace Leven.

"...Was nicknamed by other soldiers, Grace the destructive due to his frequency of using bombs and destroying surrounding with his own fist" Aenon chuckled "Wow, I'm slightly impressed, no magic and he can do all that."

-No wonder he can give a presence stronger than that of mine or Dabria's- Helena concluded -As long as we're in range, he can use his ability to alter his presence to be the strongest in the area-

-Well 3rd ability is unknown, but at least we know it now, he doesn't lie about such secrets, like when his organization killed Lucas- Albert sighs

"He was ranked number 6 but his rank should have been higher, they only didn't do it because he had no plans of staying in the military which was understandable" Luca sighs "Immigrants are forced to fight with their lives on the line just for a place to stay"

"Well at least we know the first 5 that him and his group are going for" Kate declared "Don't ask how I know this, but the 5 generals of the greatest squad of all time are all meeting up for dinner later. They won't cancel it even if they know a group of terrorists are going after them"

"Yeah, after the trial and Karen's death, the 5 worked up their way up to all of them being in the top 5, they won't be scared of a group of people since retreating would have an impact on their pride" Luca added "We can use our status to warn them, but they will just hire more guards and waste more lives"

-Just so you guys know, Dabria definitely would already sense us arriving here- Helena claimed -We can't even launch a surprise attack-

"What's to say that Perseus already know about this meeting?" Luca asked "What if while we are protecting the 5, they go for some other people since it'll be easier. Even if you and Aenon aren't strong enough to stop them, you can still stall and annoy them to give the 5 enough time to escape."

"Well as much as I hate to say this, but we have to sacrifice the 5" Aenon suggested "They deserve it anyway, and no mater what we do, Perseus and Andrius will give them a horrible death, we'll have to go protect the next best target"

-Perseus might even save them for later- Helena said -He will make them witness the demise of their organization and live in fear, he'll then kill them when their emotions are the most unstable-

-Either way, we should forget about them- Aenon agreed

"So either way, it's a lose-lose situation" Albert commented

"What about the judge that let the 5 off?" Kate suggested "The judge and the jury. Probably their defense attorney too"

"That's a good guess, we should protect them. They were only doing their job and deserve to live" Aenon nodded

-That's also bring us to another problem, the powers of his bloodline- Helena brought up

"Right, Perseus' father is a god and an ancestor on his mother's side is also a goddess" Albert told the 2 "Zeus apparently does not like his father"

"...Wait, you're serious?" Kate asked

"Yep" Aenon confirmed "His father, Hypnos, is the god of sleep and dreams, while Zeus has also found out the bloodline of his mother's side, Hecate. The goddess of goddess of magic, witchcraft, necromancy, crossroads and a lot of things"

"So what, he sleeps and we die or something? What's so great about a god of sleep?" Kate mocked

"He owns half of mortals lives since mortals spend that time sleeping, he can make us live our nightmares that will feel like years despite being only a few seconds in real time" Albert explained "Perseus himself can invade dreams, put an entire kingdom to sleep just by standing still, well he hasn't yet, but I don't doubt it, summons things that is only limited by his imagination and make you experience death over and over again"

"Yeah, he can also literally kill us in our sleep" Aenon laughed "And magic barely effects him as he possesses the 'eye of god', most spells also get sucked into his ring. And if you want to fight him physically...he's a celestial dhampir, he is much stronger than humans"

"So you're saying that we're screwed?" Luca asked

"Yup" Aenon nodded

"And that's just the power from his father's side, sheesh"

-Heh, if you expand it further to his godly side ancestors, like Nyx, the goddess of night and Perses, the titan of destruction.- Helena chimed in -It's going to be a lot more complicated-

| There's a titan named Perses, so read carefully. |
