The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 244 Stinky Sister, These Are All My Leftovers (3.3k, 8.4k completed daily)

Seeing his teammate vanquished in a single round, sentenced to suffer eternal divine punishment, Ixion frantically plucked at his bowstring, retreating in panic with an expression of sheer terror.

"Don't, don't come closer! You demon!"

Hearing the slightly off-tone voice and witnessing Ixion react like a little girl bullied by a burly man, Luo En shook his head in disbelief.

Indeed, in Greece, as long as one was fierce and brutal enough, even spirits would shy away in fear.

The golden bough in the garden swept forward, wrapped in a dense blood light, effortlessly striking down several arrows formed from the Netherworld's deathly aura.

As an ancestor of the centaur race, Ixion naturally possessed an innate talent for archery.

However, his skill was nothing compared to the Goddess of the Hunt, Artemis, and the God of Light, Apollo, let alone another centaur sage like Chiron.

Therefore, Luo En faced no pressure, easily advancing to Ixion's side and cleaving him in two with a sword, swiftly sending him to meet his cellmate Tantalus.

Meanwhile, Melinoe, repeatedly throwing fodder to buy time, finally staggered to the edge of the garden, excitedly looking towards the luminous high wall hidden in the Netherworld's mist.

"The barrier foundations, found them!"

Immediately after, the Goddess of Conspiracy swiftly raised her cursed blade in her right hand and thrust the sinuous purple blade into the "Labyrinth high wall" that had formed out of thin air before her.

In an instant, a humming sound of aether disintegration filled the air, and the invincible "Labyrinth high wall" was instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks, then crumbled into collapse.

A divine vibration, indescribable by words, struck, causing Luo En's body to tremble, and involuntarily, a sweet trace of blood rose to his throat.

At that moment, he finally realized what that cursed blade in Melinoe's hand was, his gaze intensifying.

"The Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction? Are you a disciple of Hecate?!"

As Circe had said in class years ago, Hecate, as the goddess mastering demon art, witchcraft, and magic, was skilled in various techniques of casting spells and dispelling them, and her authority.

In her three-faced incarnation's hands, she held items representing spell casting like the Mingyue staff, a dagger representing spell braking, and a torch symbolizing guidance among others.

The dagger, endowed with a part of Hecate's authority, was capable of not only destroying all barriers and anomalies constructed by magic power but was also powerful enough to demolish life forms born from magic, resetting them to their pre-magic state by splitting into basic aether factors.

Thus, that device was also known by the moniker "Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction."

However, since Aiaia's lineage primarily studied witchcraft and magical spellcasting, generally using the Mingyue staff, they were not familiar with the dagger adept at dispelling spells. Circe had only casually mentioned it to Luo En when they had nothing else to talk about.

Now, hearing the person behind him suddenly name the true nature of the artifact in his hand, Melinoe not only turned back in shock but also adopted an even more cautious expression.

"You know that old witch? Are you here specially to capture me back?"

This blunt statement, coupled with the fact that Hecate's legitimate artifact was currently in Melinoe's hands, immediately made Luo En realize that this Goddess of Conspiracy was most likely another direct disciple of Hecate—his "aunt"?

Tsk, what a tangled family affair indeed.

Luo En quietly muttered a complaint, his gaze flickering darkly.

Persephone, as the Queen of the Underworld's foster mother, was likely the mastermind behind the birth of Persephone's son, Zagreus;

Death God Thanatos, God of Sleep Hypnos, and Ferryman of the Underworld River Charon, born from the remnants of the Goddess of Night Nyx's divinity, were absolutely obedient to her;

—The "Eyes of Argos," a power derived from the hundred-eyed giant Argos himself.

Legend has it that this ancient giant had a hundred eyes on his head and never fully closed them even when asleep. He was a faithful servant of Hera, having accomplished the feat of hunting down the Mother of Serpents, Echidna, on his own, and was later tasked with watching over Zeus's lover, Io.

At that time, Io had been transformed into a cow, and to rescue her, the Divine Envoy Hermes played the shepherd's flute for the giant, spinning long and tedious tales to lull him to sleep. Once he succeeded in putting the giant to sleep, Hermes used a curved dagger to cut off his head, thus rescuing Io and fulfilling the task entrusted to him by Zeus.

Even Hermes had to be cautious when dealing with this formidable creature. After the death of Argos, his eyes were taken by Hera to adorn the tail feathers of a peacock, while his soul sank to the bottom of the Netherworld.

It was only by exploiting the boundary-breaking attribute of the "Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction" that Melinoe was barely able to summon the remnant soul of Argos, causing it to adhere to her, and at a critical moment, unexpectedly revealed the lethal move of the "Eyes of Argos" to successfully subdue the one who had beaten her repeatedly.

After suffering such great humiliation, did you really think I would let it go?! Idiot!

Melinoe coldly laughed and swung the "Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction" in her hand, unapologetically stabbing towards the small of the back of the person behind her.

She wasn't in a hurry to kill him yet, first planning to seal this guy's capability to cast spells, then capture him and deal with him slowly.

The self-confident Goddess of Conspiracy, with a triumphant smile on her face, excitedly anticipated the future she had envisioned.

"Snap!"

However, the arm she extended transmitted a bone-snapping pain, and the "Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction" that was supposed to stab her target's abdomen, ended up in the hands of her adversary.

Faced with the rapidly deteriorating situation, Melinoe's face dramatically changed, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"How did you..."

"I calculated your speed, catching up wasn't going to be easy; your intentions were too obvious, little sister," Luo En said, toying with the "Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction" in his hand and smiling merrily as if looking at a foolish deer, while continuing to explain.

"Saying you're running and then attempting to counterattack me at such a moment? Still using a trick I'm tired of, truly adorably foolish..."

One of life's four grand illusions, that I could counterattack.

This illusion is truly harmful, I don't know how many have foolishly thrown their lives away in some valley, turning into easy money for others.

When battered and bruised, instead of thinking about how to save yourself, you dream of counterattacking. You check your mana, energy, or skill cooldowns, right, you can still cast these few skills, okay, you can do this. You also check the opponent's health bar; they aren't at full health either, yep, I can definitely counterattack. Thus, with killing intent, you foolishly charge towards the opposition.

But the problem is, if you can't outmaneuver the opposition at full health, what delusions of victory do you have when you're battered and bruised? Do you really think miracles will happen?

Unfortunately, reality is often harsh.

Seeing her last reliance also shattered, Melinoe sweated profusely from her forehead.

Suddenly, she seemed to see something, her face dramatically changing.

"Persephone..."

"Bang!"

However, before she could finish her sentence, a hand chop heavily struck the Netherworld princess's neck, and the strong divine power knocked her unconscious instantly.

"With that intelligence, you still think to deceive me, these are just my leftovers," Luo En disdainfully glanced at Melinoe lying on the ground, stretched out his hand to pick her up, ready to use her as his trump card for this trip to the Netherworld.

But just as he turned around, Luo En froze, staring at the graceful figure emerging from the dense woods behind him, swallowing his saliva dryly.

"You, how did you come back?"
