Chapter 6
-3 years later-
On a dark room in an apartment of New York, stud Perseus while reading some papers that his servants had gave to him. He would only come back to the house once a week each year, and on that week he had to read what had been happening those last phew months.
His slaves that used to be on his school, had almost nothing to say, other than the school had made some new adjustments.
His mother didn't have anything else to say except that her client list had become larger and that she had saved a lot of cash for Perseus, however he didn't know were to save it. His homeless slave had died 2 years ago, by a shot in the face by a robber.
But his other two slaves had some big news for him, the amount of criminals had increased a lot in New York, and the once small bands that those two commanded, became bigger and bigger through time. So Perseus had an enormous amount of money. However he knew he couldn't keep it anywhere so he decided to make a bank account.
When Perseus came back to Camp he went directly to Hermes cabin. The cabin had made some adjustments to be able to fit more demigods, however it hadn't been too much so it was pretty much the same.
Perseus had been a lot to the forge that last month, he had started to know hot to make armors and even thought he wasn't as good as a Hephaestus cabin member, he was still good.
Perseus was within the forge. The camp forge was large, it had many tunnels and was underground, it was always many degrees hotter than outside, and almost all the time there was a camper inside trying to make something. Perseus had been making a new armor on the forge, it was small and thin, it would help him move faster with the armor and keep it maybe under some clothes.
His armor was made of thin layers of celestial bronze and leather; it only had the breastplates and some other parts for the body, his armor also had some space to keep some knifes and a small vial of nectar, the drink of the gods.
After Perseus worked on his armor for the day he went to the forest in order to go to his secret cave, he had noticed that someone had been trying to follow him before he went back home, and his servants told him that someone with a hood had been trying to find the cave, but couldn't.
When Perseus was sure he lost him, he went directly to his clearing, it looked like it hadn't changed at all, but Perseus knew better. He had attacked many other nature spirits in order to make his aura stronger and he had also hunted some animals that he had made them stay on the clearing and look like normal animals but if someone came they would attack.
The highest change had been the inside of the cave. While most was dark, there was a zone, which had a huge wooden door, inside that zone there were many ponds with freezing water, and many of them had corpses of mortals he had hunted outside camp and had brought here, Nature spirits, nymphs, and different monsters.
Perseus had grown immensely stronger those last 3 years, after constantly absorbing souls of nature spirits, nymphs and strong mortals, his strength had increased much, and even thought it didn't show it with muscle, he was stronger than any mortal or demigod 2 years older than him.
Also his nature powers had increased a bit, it still took to much energy for him to use in a fight, so he usually didn't use them and just fought with his shadows ones.
Another thing that had changed those last years, was that Perseus was able too keep his aura out 15 minutes and could fight with it 10.
Inside the cave there was a wooden table that he made with his nature powers, and many bookshelves full of books of different kinds, however his masterpiece was a bookshelf full of black notebooks. All of them had different uses, some of the souls inside were used to attack, others to guard, defend, etc.
Most of those notebooks were in blank but he knew that one day he would full all of them.
Perseus usual routine was dissecting the bodies that he had on the cave, but today he wanted to do something else, so he came to the far end of the cave and took a comfortable position, he opened his notebooks and shadows came out of them, there were shadows of all kinds, animals, humans, and monsters.
Perseus closed his eyes and started imagining the shadows into fog while using as much power as he could to the shadows. When everything was fog, Perseus took his aura out on his full power, he could feel invincible on this position, he moved his hand to the end of the cave and the fog followed its movement destroying parts of the cave and expanding the space inside, after that Perseus commanded some souls of animals inside 5 corpses that he had on a pond, When the souls took the command of those bodies, Perseus commanded them to attack him with their full strength.
When the five bodies were about 2 meters away from Perseus, he started moving. First he dodged the fist from the biggest one, and punched him as hard as he could on the stomach, the strength of dozens of nature spirits, monsters and some mortals all were on that one punch, and as soon as it connected it pushed the body back and made a huge mark on the stomach. If the corpse had been alive he would had died instantly from just that.
The other two tried to punch and kick Perseus, but when his aura was released, Perseus senses became stronger and faster than normal, so he saw it coming and as fast as wind, he dodged both of them and took each owner of the attack by the head, after he took both heads he pushed them as hard as he could to the ground. Splashing blood all around the place and some skull fragments.
The last two came behind Perseus, on his blind spot, and they managed to punch him in his back several times.
Perseus made no notice of the pain and he took a knife from his short and threw one of them ate the eye of one of his enemies. Having his good are wounded, Perseus took from the neck his last enemy and before he could react he was bitten by Perseus on the neck, losing a good piece of flesh and covering Perseus on its blood.
When the fight finished, Perseus took out his aura, going to the far corner of the room that was full of small rocks he took a watch and stopped the timer.
"10.34 seconds, I'm getting better, but I need to last longer." Perseus said while taking out his clothes and diving his body on a pond to get rid of the blood.
