I Am a Heroic Spirit

The ghosts and monsters, Xuankui and the Scorpion King looked at each other and immediately reached a consensus that if they did not cooperate, they would have no chance of survival.

"Have you discussed this? 107 I'm going to attack first. See my true speed!"

Achilles still had that cheerful smile on his face, and he tightened his grip on the spear a little, waiting until the Ghosts, Xuankui, and Scorpion King finished their brief exchange before he raised his foot and shot out like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, he inflicted six penetrating wounds on the six people, one on each of them, leaving no one behind.

The ultra-high-speed attack made it impossible for any of the six people to catch Achilles. The simple and unpretentious killing skills were displayed in Achilles' hands. Although he was clearly fighting one against six, he formed an encirclement-like offensive.

The speed displayed by Achilles really made the Scorpion King, the Ghostly Monsters and Xuankui have some kind of illusion, as if they were being besieged by twice the number of enemies.

By the time the Scorpion King and other demons gradually adapted to Achilles' attacks, they were already covered in wounds and their condition had dropped to the lowest point. Even ordinary people could see that they had no chance of winning.

On the other side, on the only way into the forest, they were outnumbered two against eight, no, it should be said that it was one against seven. After all, the Super Tuolu was given life by Cheng Xiaoyu, and the giant centipede was also burned into a charred corpse.

This battle scene of one against seven does not seem as easy as Cheng Xiaoyu said at the beginning.

In the ruins where the land was bumpy, trees were scattered all over the place, and rocks were broken and shattered, Cheng Xiaoyu tensed his body, shuttled between the giant beasts, wrestled with them, and launched a few dragon blasts from time to time, creating a considerable momentum.

However, a quarter of an hour has passed since the battle began, but Cheng Xiaoyu has only killed the Mongolian death worm, the lake monster, the king cobra, the giant bat, and the hairy giant. The most powerful giant octopus and the bull-horned King Kong are still rampant in the ruins.

After fighting for such a long time, Cheng Xiaoyu finally discovered that those giant beasts were not as simple as he had imagined. Not only did they have thick skin and flesh, they were extremely powerful and had strong vitality. They had no weaknesses in their bodies. The cow talismans and pig talismans were completely useless. Moreover, they had the ability to recover. If the injuries caused by a dragon explosion were left alone, they would recover to normal in less than three to five minutes. If they were not attacked continuously on the same giant beast, they would not be killed at all.

The Bullhorn King Kong and the Giant Octopus were even more powerful. One possessed the strongest defense and attack power, while the other's recovery speed was several times faster than the other beasts. Even after the battle, Cheng Xiaoyu was a little tired, yet these two beasts were still in perfect condition.

Suddenly, the heads of the King Kong and the giant octopus exploded.

Without Cheng Xiaoyu noticing any signs, the heads of the Bull-Horned King Kong and the giant octopus turned into a pool of bloody mud.

"Oh!"

The stunned Cheng Xiaoyu forgot to control the talisman and crashed headfirst into the ruins. His strong physique and the power of the bull talisman added a hole in the ruins.

"it hurts!"

Cheng Xiaoyu crawled out of the pit, covered her forehead with her hands and cried out in pain.

After using the power of the horse talisman to repair the wound on his head, Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the two huge monsters collapsed in the ruins in astonishment, thinking that he might have been under an illusion or something.

"What? What the hell is going on?"

Cheng Xiaoyu stood up and looked at the giant beast in front of her in shock. The beast had lost its life force dozens of times stronger than a cockroach. She had been fighting it for such a long time and failed to kill it, but now it suddenly exploded.

At this time, the sound of footsteps that were so light that they were almost inaudible was heard. Cheng Xiaoyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful woman with silver hair and a white dress. Her figure was so hot that she could not accept it. She was holding a gorgeous bow and arrow of gold and silver in her hands. She was sitting in an elliptical ring floating in the air and flying towards her.

Noticing the bow and arrow in the beauty's hand, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly thought of something. If she remembered correctly, there was indeed a flash of unclear light just now.

Could it be that the arrows were fired by the person across the way? Did that person blast the heads of the two behemoths? If so, then the woman with the strength to instantly kill a monster with such strong vitality, and wearing clothing that was clearly not modern, must be the legendary heroic spirit.

Cheng Xiaoyu guessed in her heart that after all, the King Kong and the giant octopus would not commit suicide on their own, so someone must have helped them.

The beauty in white slowly approached, and Cheng Xiaoyu discovered that there was a little girl behind her. Because she was blocked by the beauty's body and was walking, Cheng Xiaoyu had not noticed her before. The footsteps just now came from her.

After taking a closer look, Cheng Xiaoyu became more certain of her guess. A girl with purple hair, wearing armor and holding a sickle, there is no similar outfit in modern society. The combination of these two people would be incredible if they were not heroic spirits.

"Are you...heroic spirits?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked tentatively, and Super Tuolu also returned to her side. After all, even if the heroic spirits who helped her were not necessarily from the kind and lawful camp that could be trusted, it was better not to let her guard down.

"Hmm---? Yes, to be honest, I am the Heroic Spirit - the outstanding hunter who cannot be ignored when talking about the constellations in the night sky - the one named Orion! That's me! Come on, clap your hands---!" The Moon Goddess was stunned for a moment, then said with a grin, stretching out her hands and clapping for herself.

"Clap clap clap..."

Cheng Xiaoyu subconsciously stretched out her hands and clapped along with Yue Shen.

However, after just a few claps, Cheng Xiaoyu reacted, lowered her hands, and shouted, "What?! Shouldn't Orion be male? And in mythology... how should I put it? It shouldn't be a woman, right?"

Cheng Xiaoyu, who was complaining, let down his guard. After all, this kind of thick-skinned guy shouldn't be a bad person, right?

"Hehe~. Thank you for your frank applause. I'm not sure who you are, but it seems we can get along well."

The Moon Goddess shrugged her nose and said with a smile.

"Don't worry about gender. Whether it's Okita Souji, King Arthur, or even the Roman tyrants, aren't they all men? So, if you look at it that way, it's not so unbelievable that I'm a woman."

The Moon Goddess explained seriously.

"That seems to be true... What the hell!" Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but complain. It was simply incomprehensible. Why did this happen? All the men in history became women. What happened to the world?

"Anyway, although Orion seems to be regarded as a useless person in the legend, he is actually a very outstanding and innocent hunter. I came here to prove this. If I get rid of those monsters, I will be able to prove this." The Moon Goddess continued to make up stories. It seemed that she wanted to change the image of Orion into that of an innocent beautiful girl.

"You're appearing to correct your own assessment, in other words, to rectify historical errors! I understand your feelings, Ms. Orion. Just now, you couldn't even see the arrow's body, but now you've simultaneously slain two formidable beasts with two arrows. Such archery is truly incredible. In short, it's truly exceptional skill! As expected of a renowned hunter in Greek mythology, one who could even slay the goddess Artemis, a brave warrior with unwavering accuracy!"

Cheng Xiaoyu said this with great understanding, complimenting the Moon Goddess at the same time, and finally felt relaxed. After all, the alliance relationship had been confirmed.

Regarding Yue Shen's suggestion of correcting her own assessment, Cheng Xiaoyu said there was no need to be surprised. They were just innocent monsters. She had long since grown accustomed to them, from Vlad III and Hans Christian Andersen in the past to Nero and Edison in the recent past.

"Ah la la~ma~ma~. What's the 'hit the target' thing? Hehehe." The Moon Goddess touched her head, squinted her eyes and laughed happily.

Cheng Xiaoyu twitched her eyes and was unable to complain. It turned out that the Orion in Greek mythology was this kind of natural woman?

"Something's coming."

At this time, Anna spoke coldly.

Cheng Xiaoyu turned her gaze to Anna, who had remained quiet and indifferent from before. But together with Orion, could he also be a great hero in Greek mythology? However, heroes who use sickles do not seem to be common.

Cheng Xiaoyu asked Anna, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Since she calls herself Orion, then just call me Anna. Human." Anna glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu and said coldly.

How cold! It seems that being on guard is not meaningless.

Cheng Xiaoyu was shocked and thought to herself.

She just noticed that when Anna looked at her, there was not only indifference but also hostility in her eyes. This was the first time she met her, so it shouldn't be directed at her. If it was said, it must be directed at humans. Combined with the way she addressed herself and the sickle, Anna's identity was clear. She should be a god who disliked humans, most likely the god of death.

Cheng Xiaoyu has always been meticulous and it took her only a few seconds to infer Anna's attitude and words.

But... what does it mean that she calls herself Orion? Could it be that...

"Oh, the demon is approaching. Get ready, the hunt is about to begin~"

At this time, the Moon Goddess interrupted Cheng Xiaoyu's thoughts, and Cheng Xiaoyu also felt a palpitation, as if danger was approaching.

The Moon Goddess suddenly grabbed Cheng Xiaoyu's arm and jumped back quickly. Cheng Xiaoyu subconsciously wanted to resist, but saw a bolt of lightning bombarding the place where she was standing, creating a hole of nearly one meter in the ground. Cheng Xiaoyu was so scared that she forgot to resist.

"Thief, give me back my power!"

An angry roar sounded, and this sound was very familiar to Cheng Xiaoyu.

"The Holy Lord of Fire Demon?! The Thunder Demon Zhongsu?!" Cheng Xiaoyu called out the names of the owner of the voice and the owner of thunder and lightning.

"boom!"

The ground beneath Cheng Xiaoyu's feet cracked, and a sharp rock protruded from the ground. However, at the same time the ground cracked, the Moon Goddess picked up Cheng Xiaoyu and flew into the air.

Cheng Xiaoyu: "It's the demon of the earth, Dikui!"

The sky changed color, dark and red clouds covered the sky, and a storm that almost tore the sky apart swept in.

Cheng Xiaoyu: "It's Ximu, the devil of heaven!"

The Moon Goddess simply swung the longbow upwards, and in an instant three streams of light shot out. The light fell from the sky into the center of the storm in a semicircular trajectory, destroying the center point of the storm and turning the storm into a strong wind that spread in all directions.

At this time, a rumbling sound was heard, and a damp breeze rushed towards them. A surging river was seen rushing from afar. When it approached, a huge wave rose up several meters high and pressed down heavily on the Moon Goddess.

"Be careful! It's Basha, the water demon!"

Cheng Xiaoyu screamed in surprise, but the Moon Goddess remained calm and did not take any countermeasures. However, Anna, who was not far away, moved. Anna's eyes had changed a lot. The highest-level petrifying magic eye was unsealed by her. Wherever her eyes reached, whether it was waves or rivers, everything turned into stone.

"The ability to petrify, is she Medusa?"

Cheng Xiaoyu witnessed the sudden change in the environment before her and turned her gaze to Anna on the other side, her expression filled with shock and fear. She had thought it was the god of death, but it turned out to be the demon Medusa.

It seems that her initial caution was indeed necessary.

"You can call her Anna. This is the new name she gave herself to distinguish her from the monster she fell from. "The Moon Goddess said softly.

Although the Moon Goddess's voice was very soft, Cheng Xiaoyu's voice was not concealed at all. Medusa looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with an even colder and more ruthless look.

Cheng Xiaoyu avoided Medusa's gaze with a lack of confidence and did not dare to look Anna in the eye. Although Anna did not look like a cruel monster, the reputation of the petrified Medusa was too famous, and she did not dare to look her in the eye.

Immediately afterwards, the air vibrated, and ripples spread across the sky, surging towards the Moon Goddess. Facing this invisible attack, the Moon Goddess swung her longbow, which spun like a moon disk, tearing apart the vibrations in the air before automatically returning to her hand.

"The ability to control gas belongs to Xiaofeng, the wind demon." Cheng Xiaoyu calmed down completely and explained the identity of the enemy to Yue Shen calmly.

A hill came crashing down from afar with a whistling sound. The Moon Goddess casually shot out three arrows, and three streams of light penetrated the hill. The powerful energy exploded inside the hill, destroying its structure and causing it to disintegrate into countless pieces of rubble as it was about to approach.

"Moving mountains, that should be the mountain demon Bogang, what!"

Just as Cheng Xiaoyu was flying behind the Moon Goddess and explaining slowly, a purple-black beam of light appeared in their sight, and the distance between them and it was only one meter. Even if they had enough power to break it, it was too late.

Just when Cheng Xiaoyu was panicking, the purple-black beam of light hit the Moon Goddess, who had no intention of dodging, and then nothing happened.

"How could this be? That should be the power of the Moon Demon Curse Blue, but it is ineffective!" Cheng Xiaoyu said in surprise as she looked at the unharmed Moon Goddess.

"Moon Demon? No wonder that energy seems so familiar."

After hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's explanation, the Moon Goddess suddenly realized and said, wasn't that energy just now the gravity of the moon that she controlled?

Although she calls herself Orion, her essence is still the Moon Goddess of the Olympian pantheon. How could she be harmed (properly) by the power of the moon?

At this time, the eight demons had all arrived. Eight strange-looking demons with strength close to that of first-class servants surrounded Yue Shen, Cheng Xiaoyu, and Anna from all directions, apparently afraid that they would escape.

After all, it's eight against three, there's no possibility of them losing.

A certain devil set a flag in his heart.

"Long time no see, Cheng Xiaoyu."

"This time, I will definitely kill you."

"That magician must be dead. I wonder if Jackie Chan is still alive. After I kill you, I'll kill those idiots who dared to stand in our way."

"We won't give you another chance to seal us, Cheng Xiaoyu."

The devil's low roar contained evil magic that polluted people's hearts, and it rang in Cheng Xiaoyu's ears.

"We were able to seal you last time, and we can do it this time as well." Cheng Xiaoyu said firmly. The magic of the voice did not affect her, even though the magic in the voice was enough to make the people in a city collapse.

"Help me hold them back, I will seal them." Cheng Xiaoyu said to the Moon Goddess.

"no need."

"Ok?"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Anna not far below in surprise. This was the first time Anna took the initiative to speak to her.

"It's just a demon, just kill it directly." Anna said coldly.

"I agree with little Anna. They are just demons. My bow and arrows will kill them one by one." The Moon Goddess waved the longbow in her hand and spoke in a confident and arrogant tone, but she herself was not aware of this.

However, as one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, she has the right to be arrogant, even if her body is just a vessel for the servants.

After regaining her confidence, Yue Shen immediately lost her confidence again when she thought of Orion who stayed in Karakura Town, because even Yue Shen herself knew that Orion was a scumbag.

The Moon Goddess frowned and whispered, "I don't know if Darling has been having affairs with other women. Damn it! If this operation wasn't a little dangerous, I would have brought Darling along."

"What?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked when she heard what Yueshen was saying.

"Ah? Nothing, let's end this battle quickly." Moon Goddess came back to her senses and waved her hand in a dissembling manner, "Stay away and don't get caught up in it."

As she was speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu saw the Moon Goddess move her wrist slightly, and eight streams of light shot out from the longbow, shooting towards the eight demons respectively.

"So fast!"

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. It wasn't just the lightning-like flow of light that was so fast, but also the speed at which Yue Shen shot. She didn't even see how many times Yue Shen plucked the bowstring.

The eight demons each had their own methods, and faced with the Moon Goddess's attacks, they all used their own moves to resist. However, although the Moon Goddess descended with the spirit base of Orion, she was still a divine-level Servant slightly stronger than ordinary Servant. Her attacks were not so easy to resist. Without exception, the eight demons all suffered a little bit. Although the physical damage was not significant, they were definitely in a bad state.

Cheng Xiaoyu had already taken out the tokens of the eight immortal gods, including the lotus, drum, fan, and gourd, in turn, preparing to seal them again. After all, there was nothing worth mentioning about the name of Orion, except that it was associated with the Moon Goddess. Although Medusa had a loud name and seemed to be a god before she fell into a monster, there were more gods in Greek mythology than weeds, and compared with the Eight Immortals in China, there was really a big gap.

Even the Eight Immortals could only seal the eight demons. It was too unrealistic for the two of them to kill the other side's eight demons.

Cheng Xiaoyu originally thought so, but after seeing the Moon Goddess coming, her hands shook and she almost dropped the sealing props.

"That archery skill just now, that—how could he hit the target even with that stance? 360 degrees and still be effective? It's incredible."

Cheng Xiaoyu was bewildered as he shot eight arrows at the same time, traveling nearly a hundred meters in one second, hitting demons in eight directions and repelling them. This level of archery, especially for an Orion, is better described as the god of archers. Even the famous archer Houyi is no better than him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly recalled Anna's words before. Anna said that since she called herself Orion, then, it means that the Orion who called himself Orion was actually not Orion, but someone else.

If it weren't for Orion, possessing such powerful archery skills, having a good relationship with Orion, and being a woman herself, the only one who met these conditions would probably be that person.
