I'm tied to Athena.

Chapter 55: The First Battle with Ota

That kid has really bad luck.

Looking at Bell, who was emitting fear, Li Yun shook his head. He held the sickle tightly and took a step forward, intending to save people.

But at this time, Bell... glowed! ?

No... it's the soul that's glowing. Bell's soul is shining. At this moment, this white-haired boy shows his own persistence and pride.

He saw it, although he didn't know why, but Li Yun did see it, that shining soul... just like a hero.

He developed a slight interest in the young man.

Recalling what Athena had told him, he slowly put down his scythe - Bell Crane, wanting to be a hero.

There are many people who want to be heroes. In this world, everyone has the idea of ​​becoming a hero deep in their hearts. Even Li Yun, who knows that he can't be a hero, has the desire to become a hero deep in his heart.

However, a so-called hero is someone who can bear responsibilities that others cannot bear, defeat enemies that others cannot defeat, and accomplish great things that others cannot accomplish.

Protect your companions, save the weak, and risk your life.

Bell Craney, if you really want to be a hero, break yourself into pieces and show me.

Although he had courage, the gap between the two sides was too big. A LV1 rookie adventurer could never be the opponent of the eleventh-level monster. During the attack, his dagger broke. Having lost his means of attack, he relied on a sudden inspiration and stabbed the magic stones from the surrounding street lamps into the monster's eyes, seizing a glimmer of hope.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bell pulled Hestia up and ran away. However, even though he had temporarily escaped from the predicament, Bell's soul became even more dazzling.

He hates himself.

He was resenting his own incompetence, distressed by his own incompetence, and crying about his own uselessness. Just like that time, he could do nothing but wait for others to rescue him.

I hate myself like this... the most!

"Bell Craney..." Li Yun quietly uttered the name, the son of the pure white man, "I never thought that one day, I would become someone else's cheat."

Li Yun recognized this pure white child, the courage to face fear, the brain to deal with despair, and the belief that inspired him at all times. This child has the qualifications to be a hero.

Leaving aside Greek mythology’s brother Roman mythology and just looking at the stories of Greek mythology, Athena has always been a plug-in for those heroes.

She helped Prometheus create humans, refused to give wisdom to the disaster Pandora, and put hope in the magic box. Perhaps there was some selfishness in her mind, but among so many Greek gods, she can indeed be called a god with a conscience.

Li Yun never expected that one day he would follow the same path as Athena... and become a hero's teacher.

Well...as to whether Athena in the God Slayer world is like this...it doesn't matter.

"Save him." Looking at Bell who was cornered, Li Yun smiled. He was about to take action, but suddenly, a gaze came from the side.

That's a dangerous sight...

Li Yun turned his head and saw a man standing not far to his left... Orario's ultimate weapon, Ota!

Next to Ota, there was a woman in a dark blue robe. Her entire body was covered by the robe, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.

But the beauty that radiates from the inside out...the beauty that can attract people just by exposing a finger to the air...Freya!

Freya, hidden under the black robe, slowly turned around, and her black eyes met her silver eyes. The goddess who could charm everything... no matter if it was a human or a monster, smiled at Li Yun.

The hand holding the sickle tightened again. Li Yun felt a little disgusted by that look, as if someone was licking his skin.

He frowned, and the goddess in front of him spoke softly. Although it was silent, Li Yun could understand what she meant: "Can you please not take action?"

Now Li Yun understood that the guy in front of him was the culprit who let the monster go. There were not many families that could sneak into the Ganesa family and let the nine-headed monster go silently, but if it was the Freya family, it would be easy.

However, this should be Freya's own action and has nothing to do with her clan members.

"Give me a reason not to take action." If Freya brought her followers here, the siege of one LV7, three LV6 and four LV5 might make him a little afraid, but now, if Ota is alone, he can kill the silver-armed giant ape and save Bell without exposing his strength.

Well, that should be possible.

"Don't you want to see how bright that child's soul will be?" Freya's eyes became expectant, like a mischievous little girl who wanted to get the attention of her lover.

"Not interested!" Li Yun turned around indifferently. He didn't want to have anything to do with this goddess... Although they were already related, he would rather avoid contact with her if possible. This woman was just like other gods. She was a troublesome god who liked to do things according to her own pleasure.

"Ota!" The goddess's light voice sounded, and the man as heavy as a mountain moved, "Your will!"

Faster than Li Yun, the tall orc stood in front of him, blocking his way.

The feeling of oppression came instantly, and the heavy breath like a mountain filled the surroundings of Li Yun. At this moment, Li Yun's way forward was completely blocked!

Strong, indescribably strong, even stronger than the monster he killed on the fiftieth floor. Just standing there made Li Yun feel a little suffocated.

"The strongest in Orario?" Waving the sickle, Li Yun attacked instantly, and a black light slashed across!

"Ding!" Sparks flew, and Ota grasped the big knife behind him at some point, and then... blocked his attack with one hand.

Ota held another big knife in his other hand and raised it high...

"Boom!!!!"

When the handle of the knife touched the blade, it was like a mountain pressing down, and the force came crashing down. The figure of the young man slid back more than ten meters, fighting with only the power of LV5... As expected, he was no match for Ota. Just one blow made him feel like he couldn't bear it.

It would be fine if we just beat him down, but there are still residents here. If we fight with Ota here, the residents here will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

He would take the residents into consideration, but Ota would not. This strongest weapon, who obeyed Freya's orders, carried out Freya's will. As long as it was her order, no matter who stood in front of it, it would kill without hesitation.

PS: I accidentally pressed the return button when editing the chapter, so the author had to edit it again.

PS: There is more to come

Chapter 56: End of the Event

"Show your strength." Ota looked at him calmly.

This orc was a pure warrior. When he met a strong man, he would arouse his inner fighting spirit and want to fight with the opponent. But now in Orario, there was no one who could fight him one-on-one.

Whether it was the three LV6s from Freya's family or Finn and his three companions from Loki's family, they were all unable to contend with him. If he wanted to find an opponent who could go all out, he had no choice but to go to the dungeon.

But now, he met... Although he was forced back by his sword, this man was very strong. The black-haired man in front of him could give him a sense of crisis!

"I'll ask you again, Ota, will you give in or not?" Li Yun slowly let out a sigh of relief, and the power of the Gorgon Stone began to boil in his body. If Ota denied it, then he would be defeated here!

It was this feeling, the feeling of being pricked by a needle. Ota's concentration was raised to the extreme, his hands tightly grasped the broadsword, ready to fight Li Yun at any time.

"Ota." But at this moment, Freya's words came. The goddess of beauty said in a brisk and satisfied tone: "Send me back."

The war that was about to break out was interrupted. Ota decisively gave up the prey in front of him, put the big knife back on his back, then flashed to Freya's side, picked her up, and left without saying a word.

"....." Looking at the place where Freya had just stood, Li Yun rubbed his head in distress. This girl was actually here... on this battlefield, and she reached the peak of a woman without the comfort of a man.

Li Yun finally understood why there were so many people in Freya's family... Even Ota would not be able to satisfy her without her taking medicine.

Is it a great feat for him to witness the goddess reach her peak?

Li Yun took his eyes off the roof and looked at Bell below.

While he was confronting Ota, Bell had already successfully killed the Silver-Armed Giant Ape. This monster, which only appears on the eleventh floor, was killed by Bell, a novice adventurer at level 1.

"Freya...does she trust Bell so much?" Looking at the cheering Bell, Li Yun smiled and said, "Congratulations, Bell. Although you are still young, you are qualified to embark on the road of heroism."

On the other side, Aisi had already dealt with all the monsters and returned to the arena. However, Liyun had not returned yet.

"Oh, Ai Sitan, thank you for your hard work." Loki sat at the entrance of the arena, eating the Exploding Stars from Athena's hand... Because they were fighting monsters, Li Yun gave the things to Athena for safekeeping, and then the two of them stayed here with nothing to do, so Loki took all the Exploding Stars from Athena's hand.

But Athena also said that this had to be returned. After all, it was Liyun who bought it for her. If she wasn't familiar with Loki, she wouldn't have given it to him.

"Yeah." Ai Si came to Loki, looked around, and asked, "Li Yun, haven't you come back yet?"

"It's okay, Ai Si Tan, that's Li Yunqin. There won't be any problem." After Loki finished speaking, he saw Li Yun slowly walking towards here, "Look, Li Yunqin is back."

"Thank you for your hard work, dear Li Yun." Loki waved his arms and laughed.

"It's really hard." He ran a circle in the sewer, and then had a sword fight with Ota.

There are so many things happening today.

"Really?" Athena looked at Li Yun, then said to Loki: "Then let's stop here for today."

"Wait dear Athena, come to the south tonight, we have something to talk about."

Athena's eyes flickered, and then she nodded to show that she understood.

The setting sun was about to sink behind the city walls, and Li Yun and Athena were walking on West Street when the streets began to take on the colors of evening.

"Did Freya do it?" Athena narrowed her eyes after learning this information from Li Yun. She could guess what Loki asked her to do tonight.

During the break, Loki also told her that Freya had asked her to meet today, and said that if anything happened, Loki should pretend not to see it. Not long after she finished speaking, such a problem occurred in the Ganesha clan. Even if Loki was a fool, he could guess that it was Freya's trick.

"I didn't expect that she would fall in love with Hestia's child."

"That child is really good, and I don't know why, but I can see light in that child." Li Yun covered his mouth with a solemn look in his eyes, "That child seems to have secrets that we don't know."

"Soul?" Athena's dark eyes turned serious, and she pursed her lips. "I will investigate this matter. Please pay more attention to the child's matter."

"Hmm?" Li Yun's eyes became strange. He looked at Athena as if he was looking at something incredible.

"Is there anything wrong with me?"

"No... How should I put it? Would the Athena I know also say please?"

"How rude! Even I, a concubine, will put aside my pride and show my gentle side in front of my own children." Athena's face turned slightly red, but only slightly and disappeared in a flash.

"Yeah, that's really rude." Li Yun's mouth corners slowly rose, and then converged under Athena's regained majestic gaze...

Today's incident has been calmed down for now. Thanks to the quick response of the Ganesha family and the guild, there were no casualties among the citizens, and it is said that the damage was also minimized.

The only problem is that the perpetrators have not been arrested, and the truth remains unknown as to whether the riot was just for entertainment or had some other purpose.

Of course, this incident will make the Guild and the Ganesha clan lose face for a long time. The public will definitely hold them accountable for their safety and management.

In fact, Li Yun had thought that the monsters coming out of the underground sewers might also have the same purpose. However, the plan of the mastermind was disrupted by Li Yun, and Freya accidentally completed it for them for her own interest.

Oh, and the strange looks she got from the guild... Li Yun always felt that Ai Lei should know something about this matter. After all, she had worked in the guild for so many years.

Soon, the two returned home.

"Are you okay?" As soon as they came back, Ai Lei came up to them worriedly. Today she was in charge of South Street, so she was not affected by the monsters' chaos, but she was worried that something might happen to Athena and Li Yun.

Although she knew Li Yun's strength, she still couldn't help but worry.

PS: Some readers asked the author to kill Ota, but the protagonist has his own story and cannot stay with Bell as a nanny. Although Ota's approach is a bit radical, it can indeed help Bell grow, so, well, Ota has to be a nanny in the early stage.

PS: The next one will be ten minutes late (to help the big guys get on the list)

Chapter 57: Finally Falling Apart

"It's okay." Li Yun briefly explained what happened, and after Athena accompanied Li Yun to rest for a while, she went to South Street for a meeting. Only Li Yun and Ai Lei were left at home.

"You mean, there are ghosts in the guild!?" Ailei opened her eyes wide. Since coming to this world, she has never come into contact with ghosts.

After the death of the residents of the underworld in this world, their souls will return to heaven, and then the god of death will personally cleanse the souls of the residents back to their original appearance, and then send them to reincarnation.

"It's not a ghost, it's a human...but not a human." Li Yun was a little distressed, wondering how he should describe that feeling.

"Well, it's probably something between the dead and the living, similar to the living dead."

Li Yun could feel that the gaze of the man looking at him was empty, like the eyes of a skull. And through the power of death, Li Yun could indeed feel the breath of death of that fleeting man.

But... no, it was a being that could move freely and had its own thoughts. Although it was a bit strange to say this, he was not dead. He had the breath of a dead person but he was not dead.

"So he didn't come back to life after death, but became a dead person while he was still alive?" Ai Lei understood what Li Yun meant, and said in astonishment: "While maintaining the consciousness and thinking of a living person, he let his body decay until only a skeleton remained?"

"Yes! This is what I wanted to say!" Li Yun slapped his thigh to indicate that it was correct.

"This is not impossible. In every world, there are people who desire immortality. This world is so big, there must be many people who would have such thoughts. It is not surprising that among so many people, there is one successful example."

Ai Lei propped her chin up with both hands and looked at Li Yun with red eyes, "So, the conclusion we have come to is that there is someone in the guild who has gained the ability of immortality and has set his sights on you."

"I'm not sure if it's from the guild, but... I'm more inclined to this speculation. Do you know who it is?" Uranus, who suppressed the entire Orario and made all the gods give him face, is definitely not a simple person. Although his followers have been disbanded, he must have a trump card in his hand!

"Yes, there is indeed this possibility." Ailei thought for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, "Before I went to the guild, there have always been rumors that the guild is haunted, from hundreds of years ago to now..."

"Some guild members or security personnel may accidentally see a black robe flash by."

"That should be correct." Li Yun narrowed his eyes, "Has the guild noticed us?"

"Ah! I forgot!" All of a sudden, Ailei hugged her head, "The guild has a rule that guild members cannot get too close to adventurers!"

“???” Hearing this, Li Yun was subconsciously stunned, and then three question marks popped up in his mind.

"The guild is an organization of Orario. In order to ensure fairness and justice, the guild has a clear rule...Guild members cannot get too close to adventurers. Living together is absolutely not allowed." Ai Lei held her head and cried, "It's all over now, it's all over, I will definitely be fired..."

"Li Yun..." Ai Lei looked at Li Yun pitifully while crying.

"Why do you remember it now?" Li Yun felt helpless. If there really was such a rule, they would probably have been monitored on the first day they arrived in Orario.
