"This-"
"(You will get me back for it. I get it. Maybe I should just seal your power permanently and keep you as a maid?)" I asked curiously.
She didn't say anything anymore. Only looking furiously at me, while stroking her cute nose.
"(Anyways. I will see you later Artemis..)"
My wings glowed before I started to fly quickly leaving the area and turning off Solomon's negation.
BOOM
"DAMN YOU! I WILL GET MY REVENGE!!!"
I could hear Artemis screaming with fury. The night sky slightly turned lighter with some silver showing off her domain over the moon.
'Well, she is pissed. It was very hard for me to resist and not just start messing with her.
I could have gotten some more liberties with her but then again there will be second and third time. Knowing her, she isn't going to stop just because her power is sealed…'
I could only sigh. Oh well, I wonder what Sera's reaction to this will be?
~~~~~~Artemis~~~~~~
'THAT BRAT! THAT HUMAN BRAT! I WILL KILL HIM! I WILL TURN HIM INTO A RODENT AND SQUEEZE THE VERY LIFE OUT OF HIM!'
The moon Goddess looked at the sky with a borderline insane look. Never in her whole life has someone toyed with her like this!
After blowing up several trees with her raw divine power she calmed down for a bit.
She realised that the human brat knows how to seal her power. That's why he was not even afraid if she was to bring her whole pantheon with her…
While this is very much disturbing, she won't be doing that. No way in her life will she tell anyone that she was turned into a human's toy like this!
No, she needs a different way!
Assuming his armour is what allows him to seal her power. That means that she just needs to find him outside of it!
'Yes. I need to find where he lives. Hunt him down. Then humiliate that brat the same way he did to me!'
Thinking more on it for a bit. She realised that this brat is quite similar to that Devil freak who invented the Evil pieces.
If that's the case then the brat most likely can do more.
'Heh… if this is the case then I will draw him out into a duel. Offer something he could not resist. Of course, making sure it's a duel of pure skill, no toys are allowed.'
The silver-haired goddess was thinking of how to get revenge not even making sure if she was on the right track or not. All she knew was that the brat was dangerous with his toys.
Once he was out he is just a regular 16 years old teen, he would not have a massive amount of magic. And even if he did, she is an Olympian Goddess! One of the strongest!
'Yes. This will do it! Now I only need to find where you live!' After making up her mind Artemis had a self-fulfilling mission to do. When was the last time she wanted to track a human down?
Whistle
Moments later howls of wolves spread throughout the whole forest as above-average sized wolves started to gather around her location.
"Find him for me! No matter what! I want to know where he lives!" The Goddess of hunt ordered with a cold voice.
The wolves nodded as they started to smell the air around.
They were looking around. Trying to find any remains of the human's smell. The problem was… there was nothing to pick.
After a few moments, the wolves shook their head.
"...Grrr… that brat! One way or another I will find you!" Artemis stomped her foot. Before sending her wolves away and started walking towards where her hunt was.
Just passing through several downed trees she found the downed Atalanta.
The Goddess quickly rushed towards her. Shaking her gently for a bit.
"Oh? Lady Artemis? Where am I?" The huntress asked with a confused look.
"You have been knocked out by that brat!" The Moon Goddess said as she mentioned him in a very furious tone.
"Brat?"
"..."
Atalanta instantly recalled what happened, she got dead serious.
"What happened?"
Artemis sighed. Should she tell her? Well, the Goddess can tell some things, just not the embarrassing parts though. For example, the threats of spanking and being turned into a maid should not be said, as Atalanta might just do something reckless and will be turned into a toy like Artemis was.
"The wielder of that armour is a teenage human boy. He is at least as intelligent as that Beelzebub freak. He developed some sort of magic similar to that of the Solomon brat. And he defeated all of us and collected our hair as a trophy…"
Atalanta's eyes widened for a second before getting furious she touched her hair for a bit trying to find anything missing. Thankfully she didn't find anything out of place.
Nonetheless, for some reason, she felt violated. The huntress doesn't know why but she simply had this feeling that something embarrassing was done to her!
"What are your orders, my lady? Should we hunt him down?" The huntress said in a very icy tone.
"We can't, he can fly and the wolves are useless… it's not recommended to face him when he is inside his armour. That magic of his turns us into a powerless state. We need to find him where he lives. Once that is done then we can prepare an ambush and force him into a duel to regain our honour."
"Why not just kill him?" Atalanta asked her Goddess. This is not the Artemis she knows off…
But then the huntress saw the look she had.
'She wants vengeance, something has happened to Lady Artemis. Most likely when that brat took her hair…'
"No...killing him is not good enough…he will suffer for all of the humiliation I had to go through! There is no killing! Not until I have my way with him!!!"
"...I understand. We will help you in any way we can, Lady Artemis." Atalanta said with a nod as she was starting to get up onto her feet. Cleaning herself for a bit.
"Good, now let's return to the hunt and think of the ways we can get information on him," Artemis said with a nod as they started walking towards the rest of the hunt.
~~~
"Where is he? Where is my husband!?" The red-haired Amazon Queen was looking around with a heated look.
"Hippolyta what nonsense are you talking about?" Atalanta asked with a baffled look.
"He has beaten me in the proper duel I asked of him! I have acknowledged the fact that he has beaten me fair and squire! My life is his now!" The red-haired warrior woman said with a serious look. The rest of the huntresses and even Artemis looked at her strangely for a bit.
"You have sworn a Huntress oath of chastity after Lord Hades brought you back to the world of living by my request, I might add."
"If I recall correctly My Lady, I accepted the offer of a Huntress as long as it doesn't clash with my honour as an Amazon warrior and Queen."
The silver-haired Goddess groaned for a second remembering that. Yes, all those years back, she was desperate to get her hunt back together and she needed experienced women who had experience in fighting and had some hate towards men. Hippolyta was the best choice since her experience with Heracles and has natural affinity towards fighting and hunting so she fits the bill.
Now it has come back to bite her in the back because this woman is simply far too proud and is a Queen of warrior womens.
"Sad to say but he has left and we have no idea how to search for him."
"So, he has beaten the whole hunt and just left…" Hippolyta said with disbelief.
"Yes. A 16-year-old human boy has beaten us. I think it's time to get back at him." Artemis said with an extremely pissed off look.
But her words had different effects on the Amazon Queen. The redhead's eyes, for a second, had hearts in them.
"He is that good? He crafted tools like that when he was only sixteen!? I can already imagine what he can do when he is twenty! Or thirty! Hehehe…" The redhead huntress said with a flushed look, her breathing got slightly haggard.
By this point, she was already head over heels for Marcus who had beaten her that bad.
"Hippolyta… are you okay? You look like you are sick…"
"Hmm? I am fine… we should start looking for him… Lady Artemis did you see his face...is he good looking?" The Amazon Queen asked, her last few words earned some confused looks from the huntresses.
"He is...hmm… Eastern European… from the looks of it. We should start scouting Eastern Europe then."
"The way the world is right now My Lady… Eastern European could live all over the world," Atalanta said to the Goddess of the hunt.
"He has the accent of someone who is from Eastern Europe."
The huntress nodded hearing that and the rest just listened into their conversation, even the Amazonian Queen was thinking hard for some clues, though for different reasons.
"My Lady since he is an incredibly talented crafter we could use that to track him down. If he can build things like that armour, which I assume is a Sacred Gear, then he should be quite a high profile person. It shouldn't be too hard to find some clues." Hippolyta said with a serious look.
The redhead Amazon was thinking very hard, after all it's her future husband they were tracking down. And like hell, she will let this chance slide!
"True, if this is true… if he can truly craft sacred gears then this is big. No matter which pantheon he ends up with." Atalanta said with wide eyes as she remembered him mentioning that those rifles are sacred gears and she doesn't remember any gear shaped like guns before.
"...Indeed… we can talk about this when he is under my foot! Until then we going to track him down!" Artemis said with a furious look.
And Hippolyta only smiled seeing the frustrated look on the Moon Goddess face. How many humans can make this proud Goddess behave like that! This only proves to her that her future husband is incredible!
~~~~~~Marcus~~~~~~
I looked down and saw my garage, being back home feels refreshing. Spending a whole night in Siberia was something else.
This was one of those moments when you just sit back and think back on what you just did. I did just that, and it's getting more common now.
I just spent the whole night thousands of kilometres away from home and then returned in less than a few hours.
As I was descending, a portion of the driveway started to lower down and I could see my workshop there.
Once inside, I walked to the platform and robotic hands came out from the ground and started to take off the Freedom mark II.
"How was it?" Serafall with Grayfia walked over to me.
"Interesting to say the least…" I pulled out the sword birth core and showed it to them.
"I got the gear. And... encountered the hunt."
""What!?""
"What hunt you talking about!?" Serafall quickly asked me.
"The one which has a pair of Goddesses from the Greek Pantheon. Hippolyta even wanted to duel me."
"Y-You… What kind of luck is this!? What happened next!? Assuming nothing, since you are here right now?".
"I beat them all up in less than 5 minutes… even got some souvenirs…" I pulled out some strands of hair from my inventory before showing it to Serafall and Grayfia.
"This is Atalanta's hair, this one is Hippolyta's and for the last...this is Artemis hair… quite beautiful. It still nearly glows even after being taken some time ago from the source." I said with fascinated tone.
Serafall facepalmed hearing that. While Grayfia kept a poker face like usual while she was thinking about something.
