The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Although the method is foolish, it's understandable to resort to such means if one lacks sufficient ability.

However, it can be basically confirmed that the Godslayer and 'Fate' have no direct relationship... at least they are definitely not on the same side. This means that we can be more aggressive in our actions against the Godslayer in the future.

They had prepared in advance to avoid detection and crossed the line to this extent, but fate had no reaction. Even if they were really on the same side, this level of attention was nothing to worry about.

As he exhaled softly, Orpheus's eyes gradually became serious.

Although the space for maneuver has increased, it also means that the area that needs to be locked down has been reduced a lot... So, it's about time to do everything we can to find the target. The idea of ​​someone hiding in the shadows at any time, and potentially watching us at any moment, is just too troublesome.

Therefore, the completion of the three-pointed Hermes was necessary.

There are a few more puzzle pieces; grab them as quickly as possible.

Time to play and relax is over.

────────────────────────────────

The silver-haired girl stood atop the tower, gazing down at Rome.

Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom.

"For the past few days, I haven't been able to sense the 'snake's' presence anymore..."

Her grey eyes were calm and still, and the goddess murmured to herself in a quiet and sweet voice.

“However, I can sense that the ‘snake’ is still in this city.”

Although her delicate face appeared calm, the goddess was actually feeling a little anxious.

This wasn't due to impatience—she had already waited long enough for her snake, and waiting a little longer wouldn't make her lose her composure.

However, the goddess's wisdom sensed that the city before her seemed to have transformed into a colossal pit that devoured everything, waiting for its prey to jump in.

The power of wisdom can be described as a degraded version of the omniscient and omnipotent star, whose perception is absolutely infallible.

Using the Gorgon Stone, someone is setting a trap, waiting for the goddess to fall into it.

It is displeasing for humans to dare to scheme against the gods, but from ancient times to the present, it is the right path for the weak to defeat the strong with wisdom, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, would never deny this.

"If you help me with some things later, I can retrieve the 'snake' for you first, okay?"

The goddess's pupils contracted.

Without warning, a pair of slender, soft hands were placed on the goddess's shoulders, and a languid, almost emotionless voice reached her ears from close range.

The next moment, there was no one left at the top of the tower, while on the building below, two girls of similar height and age stood facing each other.

"You are……"

Recognizing the figure before her, Athena narrowed her owl-like eyes.

Although she had witnessed the person before her act with utter nonchalance from afar, even Athena, with her wisdom and power, could not discern any details about the other party's background.

The only thing I knew was the name the other party gave, the truth of which was unknown... and the intense feeling of closeness that remained after the initial feeling of disgust had somehow disappeared.

"───Ophis."

A cool, clear voice uttered the name, suppressing the strange and eerie feeling. Athena calmly fixed her eyes on the girl before her.

"Although the name sounds familiar, my wisdom tells me that you have no relation to my nephew who is so engrossed in music. So, can you tell me your true identity?"

Does it matter?

To Athena's surprise, Orpheus asked her a question in return.

The way he tilted his head slightly suggested that he was genuinely curious about the question rather than being defiant.

Indeed, if it's just about carrying out the transaction the other party mentioned, this issue is not important... After the other party helps, you fulfill your promise, and everything is that simple.

After carefully observing the girl before her, the silver-haired goddess suddenly smiled faintly.

The girl before her was not someone who could be easily fooled, but she was not a troublesome person with whom one needed to scheme against her... This was what the goddess's wisdom told her.

"Well, let's just consider it satisfying my curiosity. Besides, a transaction is more reassuring when both parties know each other, isn't it?"

"...That's right."

Orpheus nodded in agreement.

"But I still don't want to tell you."

—Because it would be too troublesome to explain.

Athena's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

"...Fine, though I'm not happy about being used by others...but I accept your deal. If you can retrieve my snake, I will work for you unconditionally once."

With a soft sigh, Athena readily agreed to the deal.

"Of course, the condition is that you must personally hand over my 'snake' to me..."

The person before her undoubtedly possessed the strength to retrieve the snake... If she could retrieve the snake for her, then helping the other party this once wouldn't be a bad thing. Of course, Athena had another plan in mind.

Let this enigmatic person test each other with those god-slayers, then take advantage of the chaos to seize the snake... Success would be best, but failure is no big deal.

Seeing that Athena agreed, Orpheus nodded.

While it's possible to simply kidnap the other party, persuading them is impossible; a transaction is definitely easier.

So... now we can simply reach out and teleport to get the Gorgon Stone, but we still have to wait a bit.

This is a rare opportunity, so let's resolve everything at once.

A gentle breeze blew, and Orpheus's figure had vanished, leaving only Athena lost in thought.

────────────────────────────────

Snapped!Snapped!

As the two guards fell, Orpheus coldly stared at the stone pillar about two meters high in front of him, placed his fingers together horizontally at his side, and then swung it down.

A crimson breeze, fan-shaped, radiated outwards.

After doing this, Orpheus turned and disappeared.

Although the target's location cannot be accurately pinpointed due to interference from strong energy, there is a solution: simply let the target find itself.

The next moment, the stone pillar broke.

Chapter 210 The Girl's Anger

Erica stared intently at the Sword King, who had a bright, sunny smile on his face, and gritted her teeth in hatred.

She finally managed to evacuate the Roman citizens using some excuse that she herself didn't know the reason her subordinates had made up, only to receive the news that the battle had inexplicably ended.

Well, and it only lasted a few minutes, most of which was Tony talking to himself, so the damage wasn't too great.

It's good news, but Erika still feels like she's been tricked.

Suppressing her displeasure, the girl walked towards the Sword King.

────────────────────────────────

"Goddess Hunting?"

Erica presented her proposal all at once, but seeing Tony's clueless and unintentional attitude, a bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

"Whatever happens, happens. My opponent just ran away, and I haven't had a chance to properly unleash my fighting spirit yet."

Erika's plan may seem perfectly normal to her, but she got one thing wrong from the very beginning.

Godslayers are almost all self-centered and driven by their own desires. A battle maniac like Tony, with such a good opponent right in front of him, why didn't he fight? Why did he go to the trouble of finding some goddess?

It's definitely impossible; even if we wanted to find someone, we'd have to wait until after this match.

Tony's smile took on a sinister edge as he raised the seemingly ordinary longsword high in his hand.

"Let's have a good fight first!"

The sword light fell like lightning.

Clang!

"cut……"

Erica deflected the ordinary greatsword with her golden sword, and gave a troubled smirk.

The thought process of a god-killer is indeed hard to understand.

"Oh oh──"

To challenge the King of Swords was tantamount to suicide; several golden flying swords instantly forced Tony back.

"Looks like we have no choice but to fight..."

Although Erica's expression was solemn, it also revealed a hint of eagerness.

Since becoming a god-slayer, she has been constantly suppressed and beaten, which is extremely frustrating. She is unwilling to give up the opportunity to release her pent-up frustration.

If it weren't for the Copper Black Cross, Erica wouldn't have refused this duel.

Now that the die is cast, we can fight with all our might.

Erica swung her golden sword, and dozens of smaller golden swords appeared behind the girl.

Against a senior like the Sword King, her chances of winning are not high, but not impossible.

Erica received a rather special power from Veleslana: a golden sword forged from wisdom and knowledge, capable of severing divine authority. It follows the path of intellect, which is quite suitable for Erica, a god-slayer whose combat talent has not reached the pinnacle.

To exercise this power, it is essential to know the identity and capabilities of the opponent.

The powers of god-slayers are mostly recorded. Young god-slayers like Tony even know exactly which gods their powers come from... And with enough intelligence and knowledge, Erica's powers are almost invincible.

Erica already possessed the knowledge, and the information about the Sword King was not a secret either. In terms of pre-battle advantages, this was undoubtedly quite favorable to Erica!

"Go!"

Under Erica's control, the golden sword rained down on Tony's shield like a storm.

"Haha, that's more like it!"

Although he didn't know the true nature of those golden swords, Tony felt a strong sense of threat.

Instead of being intimidated, Tony laughed happily.

"I swear here that there is nothing in this world that I cannot cut down. This sword is an invincible blade that can cut through all things!"
