On the screen,
An enormous demonic boar, so massive it was awe-inspiring, appeared, smashing a small mountain with a single charge, radiating terrifying pressure.
The members of the United States Divine Council were already preparing to pop open champagne in celebration.
This was clearly Athena and Artemis, the two goddesses, deliberately making things difficult for the pair.
Though called a demonic boar, it was actually a terrifying war machine cultivated by the Moon Goddess, capable of annihilating an entire nation!
Nameless, having been cold-shouldered by the gods, was bound to take the path of defying the gods and ending the Age of Divinity—the path of a godslayer.
Not the path of a hero gathering divine blessings.
"As expected, the domineering, unrestrained Moon Goddess could never be conquered by Nameless!" The Moon Goddess smiled, glancing at her younger brother beside her. "Jace, once the video ends, let's return home to celebrate, shall we?"
The cold, merciless Moon Goddess in the video pleased her greatly.
This was the formidable deity she had inherited!
"Address me as the Sun God! After ascending to godhood, what concern are mortals to me?" Her once-familiar brother replied with chilling detachment, his words utterly alien.
This made the Moon Goddess realize in an instant that an insurmountable barrier had silently risen between them.
Even their parents back home meant nothing to him now.
Perhaps this was the inevitable path for mortals who forcibly ascended to godhood.
On the screen,
The demonic boar rampaged through the fields, destroying crops.
What had once been fertile farmland was reduced to barren wilderness.
The trio stared in awe at the colossal beast.
Atalanta's eyes gleamed as she gripped her bow, eager for the hunt. "I've never hunted prey of this caliber before!"
As a skilled hunter, the stronger the prey, the greater her fighting spirit.
"Alright, as we planned on the way—after Mash draws its aggro, the two of us will launch our attack..."
Nameless began issuing commands with practiced ease.
Having battled the likes of Vortigern and the Bull of Heaven, he was more than accustomed to facing such behemoths.
When fighting a boss, naturally you need the tank to hold aggro while the mage and archer go all out with their DPS.
With their fragile physiques, archers and mages simply can't withstand monster attacks.
And yet—
Before he could even finish speaking, the other party had already unhesitatingly drawn her bow and fired.
Whoosh!
The arrow whistled through the air, striking the demonic boar squarely in the neck.
Even with the entire arrow embedded in its flesh, it was nothing more than a minor scratch to the beast.
"...You're seriously reckless!"
Nameless covered his forehead, unable to bear watching.
In mythology, Atalanta had gained fame for being the first to wound the Calydonian Boar.
And now, in a battle with him involved, she still charged ahead without hesitation.
You're an archer, not a shield maiden, damn it!
BOOM!
Though barely injured, the demonic boar was thoroughly enraged, charging forward like a massive truck.
Mash didn't hesitate—she raised her shield, positioning herself directly in the boar's path.
A grand and towering wall, the very image of Camelot, abruptly manifested in the wilderness.
[Lord Camelot]
CRASH!
The boar slammed headfirst into the wall, the impact like a missile strike, shaking the earth and causing the ground to collapse beneath them.
Mash strained, her voice tight. "Senpai... I can hold it!"
Fighting alongside him time and again had honed her strength beyond measure.
She was no longer the timid girl who shrank from battle, utterly helpless.
Atalanta smirked arrogantly. "Hmph! To hunt a fierce beast, you must be fiercer still!"
She leaped onto a nearby tree, drawing her bow once more.
Whoosh!
This arrow aimed straight for the boar's eye—but the beast dodged effortlessly, leaving the projectile to embed itself in its forehead instead.
Now thoroughly provoked, the demonic boar abandoned the shield maiden before it and barreled toward Atalanta instead.
BOOM!
The earth trembled violently.
Under the force of the boar's charge, Atalanta lost her footing on the tree.
Her face paled slightly as she watched the beast ram headlong into the trunk.
The massive tree, thick enough to require several people to encircle, shattered like dry straw under the impact.
Atalanta's petite form was sent flying through the air.
Without hesitation, the demonic boar opened its gaping maw, ready to swallow her whole!
At this critical moment, Nameless suddenly accelerated, leaping high into the air as he shouted, "Burn my mana—!"
"Ultimate Impact Flying Kick!"
This was a move he had learned from the great Quetzalcoatl.
As his mana surged completely, flames erupted at his toes, transforming him into a meteor-like force as he kicked the demonic boar with devastating power.
BOOM—!
Under this mana-burning strike, the demonic boar's massive, hill-like body was actually sent reeling sideways!
It crashed headfirst into a nearby mountain.
Then, using the tremendous recoil, Nameless executed a perfect triple somersault in midair—reminiscent of a Olympic diver—before reaching out to catch the falling huntress.
He roared furiously, "You're a huntress, not a mindless beast! Why did you have to provoke this demonic boar alone?"
"I…"
Atalanta was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
This was a trial given to her by the Moon Goddess.
She had been desperate to prove herself to the goddess.
As a result, she had completely overlooked the terrifying might of the demonic boar.
If not for Nameless being nearby, she might have truly been devoured by the beast!
Before she could react, Nameless had already let go of her without hesitation, showing not the slightest hint of lingering attachment.
Unlike those men who lusted after her body!
Nameless continued, "Atalanta, stand on the walls Mash built and keep firing your arrows. I'll give this thing some laxative!"
"Understood, Senpai!"
Mash agreed without hesitation.
The towering walls of Camelot could withstand one more charge from the demonic boar.
"You dare order me… Fine, I'll listen just this once!"
Atalanta had wanted to argue, but under his commanding presence, she obediently followed his instructions.
The shield maiden and the huntress took their battle stances as directed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows flew with deadly precision, striking the demonic boar and provoking it into another furious charge.
Meanwhile, Nameless had circled behind the beast, taking advantage of its complete disregard for him.
He nocked an arrow—
[Caladbolg!]
Atalanta's eyes widened in shock as she realized—that wasn't an arrow. It was a sword, spinning like a drill as it howled toward the demonic boar's rear.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion erupted, blasting a hole straight through the boar's hindquarters—one thrust to the stomach!
The spectators watching the livestream collectively felt a chill run down their spines—
-[Holy shit, is that an arrow?! That's a fcking missile! Atalanta's gonna be traumatized for life!]
-["Roses wither, petals scatter, your smile fades like parchment…"]
-[Here, demonic boar, try this Caladbolg-brand laxative—extra strength!]
-[It's over! Atalanta follows the law of the jungle, and a man who's stronger than her yet shows zero interest in her body? That's lethally attractive!]
Back in real-world Greece.
Medea remarked with amusement, "Look, the you in the video seems quite taken with him!"
Kicking down the demonic boar, saving the huntress, then obliterating the beast's rear with a single shot—
Defeating you in the very field you excel in!
"Relax, the me on-screen was just shocked by his strength!"
Atalanta tried to retort confidently, only to realize her voice lacked conviction.
Despite her peerless beauty, his gaze held only admiration—not a trace of desire.
Even when he had held her earlier, there hadn't been the slightest hint of impropriety.
A true hero of justice!
"Oh, then let's wait and see."
Medea's smile grew even more delighted.
Taking an interest in a man is the beginning of falling for him!
The demon boar, its chrysanthemum blossoming wildly, suddenly let out an earth-shaking howl of agony.
Abandoning the shield maiden and huntress who had served as bait, it turned and charged toward Nameless with bloodshot eyes.
Nameless projected a massive three-meter-long axe-sword in his hand and actually rushed fiercely toward the demon boar.
Whoosh!
His figure flashed as he swung his sword, cleanly severing the boar's front leg and sending it crashing face-first into the ground.
After accomplishing this, Nameless didn't press his advantage. Instead, he approached the huntress: "Hunting the demon boar is also part of Lady Moon Goddess's trial for you, so you should take action too."
A true carry by a pro!
Medea watched with increasing astonishment.
This terrifying fellow had emotional intelligence that broke through the heavens.
Though he could easily slay the demon boar himself, he still shared the credit to ensure the Moon Goddess's follower could also leave her name in legend.
With one sentence, he satisfied both the huntress and the Moon Goddess!
The huntress glared sharply at him: "Hmph, are you pitying me?"
"No, because we're comrades."
Nameless smiled brilliantly, "Earlier, you were nearly eaten by that boar. Don't you want revenge?"
"Then what should I do?"
Atalanta asked through gritted teeth.
For a top huntress to nearly be eaten by her prey was the ultimate humiliation.
Only blood could wash it away!
Nameless pointed to the sky: "When moonlight falls upon my face, I feel I'm about to change form. There's a kind of love called—the moon lighting your path."
"The moon... I understand!"
Atalanta gazed devoutly at the moon and drew her bow once more.
Her mind echoed with the terrifying strike Nameless had unleashed earlier when he projected the spiral sword.
Hum~
Through her devout prayers, endless silvery moonlight converged madly upon her arrow.
The bow bent like a full moon before suddenly releasing.
Boom!
The shining arrow pierced deep into the boar's blood-red eye and exploded inside its skull!
The enormous demon boar was dead for good.
Mash lowered her shield, beaming: "Senpai, Atalanta, we won!"
Clap~
She raised her hand for a celebratory high-five with Nameless.
Atalanta, still somewhat dazed, also raised her hand to high-five them both in turn.
Just like that, they'd won?
The screen's image abruptly changed.
Showing two goddesses standing in the heavens, observing the demon boar.
The Moon Goddess's eyes shone brilliantly as she stared unblinkingly at Nameless.
She murmured softly: "He's truly captivating! Handsome, powerful, upholding justice... more heroic than any hero could ever be!"
Countless spectators were instantly shocked—
-[Simultaneously charmed Atalanta and the Moon Goddess?]
-[Holy shit, what's happening? Why does the previously aloof Moon Goddess now look like a lovestruck girl?]
-[Wake up, Moon Goddess, your cool image is collapsing!]
-[Is Nameless about to charm another goddess?]
