In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Chapter 598 A draw on land.

"Tsk." Ou Shen smacked his lips.

Ignoring the burns on his abdomen, he started running again.

Despite his obstructed view, Ocean was still able to pinpoint Cerberus's location using his sense of magic.

The water arrow shot out and collided with the Netherworld Fire, creating another large cloud of mist.

"No, I won't be able to hold on like this." Ou Shen gritted his teeth.

He's really giving it his all now, but even so, he can't break through the first-generation monster... This feeling of being so firmly suppressed is really annoying!

He stopped in his tracks, and through his magical perception, he realized that Cerberus's three separated heads had reunited.

opportunity!

Although he knew that Cerberus was bound to make some big moves, Ocean didn't want to miss this good opportunity.

Kneeling on one knee, Ou Shen drew back the sea bow to its maximum extent, aiming at the convergence of magic.

Let's settle this with one decisive move!

hum-

Divine power, unleash its full force!

The blue divine core hidden within Ou Shen's soul trembled slightly, with two shackles, one gray and one blue, clearly visible on it.

Whether it's for defense or to shield against mental attacks, draw out all the divine power and put it into the sea bow!

buzzing-

The air trembled, and the large blue arrow shone brightly in the darkness.

"This is mine—"

"A giant whirlpool!!!"

Corresponding to the blue light, a purplish-red glow also appeared in the thick fog.

The giant dog bit into an eerie flame, gathering magical power.

This is the Netherworld fire that belongs only to me, only to Cerberus, which is—

The karmic fire of the underworld!

When true heroes fight, they're willing to risk their lives!

"go with!"

"Roar--"

Ocean and Cerberus simultaneously unleashed their ultimate attacks.

The terrifying purplish-black flames, carrying the momentum to burn everything, spread towards Ou Shen and collided violently with the shimmering blue arrows that exuded a terrifying aura.

A huge vortex began to spin around the point of impact.

The purplish-black flames burned in the water, and a massive water vortex appeared out of thin air and began to spin rapidly in place.

"Uh--"

"Roar--"

Ocean and Cerberus were both forced back by the vortex.

The man and the beast stood at a distance, silently watching the vortex, neither of them making a move.

After an unknown amount of time, the vortex and the raging fire had disappeared. Ocean and Cerberus exchanged a glance and laughed together.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm out of magic, I won't be able to hunt later." Cerberus's big dog smiled. "You're really strong, kid. That fight was really enjoyable."

“You’re strong too,” Ocean said with a smile, touching Cerberus’s neck, which felt sticky.

"Sigh, guarding the gates of the underworld year after year is so annoying, and there's no fighting to be had. I feel like my teeth are getting loose." Cerberus's gaze fell on Ocean's stomach. "But is your stomach alright? I know the power of the karmic fire."

“The seawater mixed with divine power blocked the part with strong scorching properties, so it’s just a normal burn. It should be fine by tomorrow or the day after. It’s not a big problem.” Oshen wiped the wound on his stomach, looked at the blood on his hands and sighed. “Besides, these wounds will constantly remind me to keep getting stronger… that’s all.”

“I can see you’re troubled. Try to think more positively. If all else fails, come down and keep me company,” Cerberus comforted her.

"...You're quite cheeky when you talk."

"Thank you for the compliment."

After putting the sea bow back on his back, Ou Shen twisted his wrist: "My brothers are probably all done hunting by now, I have to go first."

“No, don’t worry, I’ll go with you. I’m on my annual leave and don’t know what to do.” Cerberus followed Ocean.

"Alright then, let's go together."

The man and the dog walked in the direction Ou Shen had come from.

Outside the forest, there was a wasteland.

Jimia arrived first, followed closely by Lemoni, and Aga and Luslan arrived quite some time after dark.

Four people and the corpses of three giant beasts were chatting in the wilderness.

"Why hasn't Oshin arrived yet? He's the closest; he should have arrived long ago." Aga frowned, sitting on Hydra's lap, toying with Hydra's enormous fangs.

"I don't know, but trust Oshin, he won't have any problems." The thing behind Lemoni had its feathers plucked, making it look like a turkey magnified many times over.

To make it easier to bring it out of the forest, he plucked all the magic eagle's feathers.

"Ah, what's that noise?" Ruslan pointed to the distant forest, becoming alert.

"...Be careful, it smells like a magical beast." Miya's bone plates had already materialized, her eyes cautious. "...And it's a very strong magical beast."

The group drew their weapons, ready to fight.

"Hey! You've all arrived!" Ou Shen walked out of the jungle and waved into the distance.

He was accompanied by the enormous Cerberus.

The giant dog head grinned menacingly at the group.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

Why are the rest of us bringing back prey, but you brought... what?

......

“That’s about it.” Oshin explained to the bewildered group what Cerberus, who was following him, was all about.

"So, it's not that monsters are causing trouble, it's just that Cerberus is on vacation." Lemoni pointed blankly at the large black dog head.

“That’s it, that’s it.” Cerberus nodded with his eyes closed in satisfaction.

"So, can I eat some of that stuff over there?" Cerberus pointed with a dog's head at the three-headed monster lying there. "I wanted to eat these things when I was at the gates of the Underworld."

“Ah, please, please go ahead…” Aga was also stunned.

This should be the second intelligent monster we've encountered; the first was Rashtanaha.

"So, the first generation of magical beasts were basically all intelligent?" Jimiya looked at Oshin.

“I think so, at least that’s how Cerberus explained it,” Ocean nodded.

"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see a talking magical beast again. It feels so rare," Luslan exclaimed in amazement.

“Let’s grab something to eat and get our injuries treated. We’re not seriously hurt, are we?” Ou Shen said, looking at his brothers.

"A mere white chimera can't possibly hurt me." Mental shock techniques have no effect on Miya, and against the white chimera, Miya would naturally be utterly annihilated.

"My wound has been treated. Come here, let me take care of your stomach." Lemoni walked over expressionlessly with a bandage in hand.

Chapter 599 Uncontrollable Homesickness

"A first-generation magical beast, how amazing." Watching Cerberus gradually disappear into the wilderness, Ruslan curled his lip. "I wonder when I'll see a talking magical beast again."

Ou Shen, still gnawing on a piece of meat, said, "Let's just keep moving forward."

Hermes looked down at Ocean, sensing the magic within him, and sighed softly.

The speed at which this divine power is growing seems to be exceeding my expectations...

Does he now possess the same strength on land as he did two years ago when he was not sealed away, allowing him to stand at sea?

Give your teammates more time.

Hermes thought this with a wry smile.

And so, time slowly passed.

During that year, instead of sailing at sea, Oshen and his companions chose to travel on land, leaving their footprints throughout Atlantis.

In the town of Ozark, far to the south.

"Welcome to Alma's Tavern." Inside a spacious tavern, Alma was standing behind the bar wiping glasses.

"Boss, two glasses of wheat beer, please." The man placed the coins on the bar.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Alma put away the coins and went to get the wine.

The two sat on the stools in front of the bar, chatting while waiting for their drinks.

Since Oskar and his four companions rescued him from the monsters, Oskar has had many more opportunities to interact with the outside world, and the Alma Tavern, which has regained its customers, has also expanded.

Although she has more money than she can spend in this small town and possesses considerable martial prowess, Alma feels that her current life is quite good.

Although she was suspected of being unambitious, she felt that perhaps she should stay here.

Suddenly, Alma's ears twitched.

"Hey, I heard that the great hero Oceanus and his brothers have hunted down some monsters that were ravaging the area in the east again."

"Isn't this kind of thing commonplace? Why bring it up? No Warcraft can survive the attacks of those heroes."

"They have already helped many towns solve their monster problems."

"Your McBeer." Alma placed two glasses of McBeer on the bar, smiling at the two guests who had traveled from another town. "May I ask you something?"

"You see, we two brothers are still very well-informed." The man took the beer and took a sip.
