Chapter 65: Hera's Offer (3)

Perseus POV

"You're strangely quiet and chewing slower than usual." she commented and handed me a cookie "Some sugar might help with whatever you're thinking of, here."

She took out my breakfast and threw it in the bin. I took a bite and it was fucking delicious, but my brain is so smooth right now cuz I still can't think of a response.

"Well I'm still saying no. Me and my sister can handle any problems Zeus throw at me and I hope you won't retaliate in the future when I take my revenge on Zeus."

"Even if I'm married then, I won't, you'll just be doing me a favor." she said "But be careful now, Zeus has given one of the opposing members in your clan war a strong equipment, so watch out for that.

"As for my offer, it is still open to whenever you want to take it, I bypassed the security of the tower system and gave you a way to message me, so if you want it, I'll accept it anytime." she then disappeared in a flash of light.

Damn your flashy exit.

'The Weaver of Calamity' is when I choose to use all my powers while my proxy status 'The Silver Prince' is still most of the powers I achieved on my own, Zeus or whatever, I can still win.

*****

The clan wars got announced and despite being called that, the tower actually rarely choose for the clans to actually go to a field and set up defenses and fight like an actual war.

Yes, we have to build castles of sorts from scratch, sounds hard, but with magic, it's super easy, you can spread cement super quick, you can mix things and assemble things super fast.

But as you all should know by now, our goal is to entertain, so clan wars would have variety of games that are determined by the tower. Despite the fun aspect, all the clan's wealth and possessions would be given to the winner.

Things like my sword are personal possessions, so that won't count, but the expensive things we have in our treasury though...

But not just that, the clan will be disbanded and will have a penalty of about a few years before the members of the losing side can join a clan again, the challenged usually get one year while the challenger usually get 3 years.

To start a clan war, at lest 80% of your clan must agree to the war, as for the challenged, the challenged(us) can accept, but if it's rejected, the tower will do a double check and give us the final result, which in this case, accepted the proposal for us.

"What's 'Save the hostage'?" Lia asked

"Oh it's a super fun event, basically each clan will send 8 participants forward, one will be kept as hostage, the goal is to basically rescue the hostage and take them back to the base and we win.

"The tower will teleport the participants to a map, the chosen hostages will be placed in chains in a trap riddled room on their opponents' side, the hostage can try to escape on their own, but they will usually be guarded even if they manage to get out of the room and be placed right back in."

"Is killing prohibited?"

"Unless stated, then yes."

"You don't look worried at the fact that our clan might get disbanded if we lose." She commented.

I just stared at her, raise my eyebrow and give me a knowing look.

I mean...even without my full power, I'm still powerful enough to be the 'Silver Prince' who just killed their most powerful member, what can any of them do against a guy who can run at light speed.

Still can't believe they were prideful and stupid enough to start one though, they have all to lose. Their reputation and their money, idiots.

Cordelia POV

Right, I forgot who he really is. And there's his sister too, and those other 3 plus a named clan leader, losing this should basically forfeit anything they achieved up till now.

Hell just one of the Silver siblings is enough to win against 8 people.

"Oh and we're definitely making you the hostage." he said before turning to the front and paying attention in class for the first time in forever.

"What? Shouldn't they give this position to a smarter person?"

"Oh, it's not me, it's the clan's rite of passage, the others will force you even if I'm there to protect you, we all have been forced in life and death situations. For me, it was being thrown into a pit of lava and they then lured a dragon to come after me down there."

I want to strangle that cheerful expression of yours, you treat a dragon as if it's some road kill someone hit with a car. Dragons are monsters that you usually need one or several team to fight.

"Perseus!" Craig called "Since you are taking your leisure time talking despite being awake for once, answer my question."

"Um practice makes perfect?" he winced

"Well that's a deduction." he then deduct his conduct grade on his tablet "Well answer it, if you meet an enemy much stronger than you, what should you do?"

"Surpass your limits right then and there and go beyond. Challenge yourself so that you can get stronger." he answered "Scream plus ultra while you're at it."

"Right, I'm asking an idiot." he sighs

"Idiot?" Perseus looks slightly offended "Ask Ezio and Draven, they would say the same shit, and you called ME an idiot? Aren't you asking a ranked on what their perspectives are?"

"What should a NORMAL raider do?" Craig sighs

"Oh depends, if you can run, run. If you can't, pray to your deity for your concept of paradise, because you're fucked."

Yeah, Craig might actually join me in strangling Perseus if I ask properly. As lovable that dummy is, he can be infuriating at times.

Perseus POV

If it was me, I would safely retreat, I just wanted to mess with him, though depending on the situation, I MIGHT actually just say 'fuck it' and charge directly at the enemy.

I'm the protagonist, I got plot armor, it's not like I'll die.
