Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: meeting a goddess

I walked into the forest alone I had my cowboy, coat and simple black pants but I still didn't have a shirt on under my coat on my back was my swords crossed in a x shape but also hanging over them was my bident which had a thin wire that made it possible for it to be slung in my back I walked for a while in a random direction oddly enough as I walked I didn't see any beasts the only creature I seen was a groy and gold owl that was half the side of me it followed me with its eyes as I walked passed it I stopped ones I got to a familiar clearing it was the place that I fought with the crimson wolf I looked around but didn't see anything and my echolocation with all my other abilities also back with nothing but my instincts was telling me that I was being watched but I couldn't tell from where I chuckled speaking You might as well come on out I can sense you right at that moment is when something appeared on my mental map wall I heard a cold powerful female voice come from behind me what how could you see through my spell I chuckled and turned around to see a beautiful woman in a simple white Chiron in hear hand was a long spartan spear that had a silver head her beautiful brown hair was pulled back in a simple bun her over her face was a beautifully decorated owl mask that covered half of her face but even so it couldn't hide her beautiful, but stern facial features, unsmiling full lips, grey eyes that was as sharp as any blade and a graceful build, emanating power and authority but in throws cold gray eyes I seen shock and curiosity in them I chuckled and shrugged wall looking into those gray powerful eyes without fear nor worry I grinned before saying I lied and you feel for my little trick haha the woman started at me shocked but I seen a small smile spread her cold face she nodded and walked forward towards me asking nice job you lied to me good what's your name right when she said that she stopped only a few steps from me I smiled up to this tall Amazonian woman who was at least a few heads taller then me hell maybe a bit taller but I shrugged not faced by how close this beauty to me she was so close that I could smell the sint of ink and what I think was cinnamon but I also smell a faint iron smell the sint of blood but I didn't mind hell I quite enjoyed it but I was no virgin boy who would let such a thing effect me so I grinned winking at her saying you first and maybe I will do the same its only proper the woman chuckled shaking her head slightly and leaned down slightly before saying nice try but two can play that game I laughed jumping back before shadow walking behind her and spoke naa dont be modest I know you're a goddess and I shadow walked again as she turned around I appeared in a tree in front of her I leaned against the trunk my hands was behind my head and my legs was crosses and my hat was over my eyes and when I felt her eyes on me I moved my hat up slightly so she could only see half of my face my eyes was glowing with a purple fire and I had a huge fanged grin on my face you are Athena unmatched and witty andc champion in the arena the moment I said those words I disappeared again and appeared back in front of her as I did so I held a owl mask in my hand and I seen a beautiful cold face that normally would be emotionless but at the moment she had a beautiful small smile on her face and her gray eyes were glowing slightly with power and interest but something was off her normally beautiful smooth skin was paler then normal and the shin between her eyes was pitch black and the skin around her hole left eye was the same black color wall the right side was only covered half away the moment I seen that black skin I immediately recognized the magic that did this to her hell there was still a lot of this magic still remaining under her skin i seen a battle going on under her skin between her magic power which looked like a gray holy fire and a black necrotic energy currently the gray fire was loosing and this kept up Athena would go blind but what did this to her fuck what could do this to one of the strongest if not the strongest Greek goddesses fuck she was one of the strongest Greek gods period what could be strong enough to leave this sort of wound but that's when I slightly recognized the black energy but y but then I remembered the demons had a similar energy fluctuation I raised a eyebrows asking demon she was stunned slightly but she nodded indeed I was protecting my dukedom when a demon lord came out to play I naturally thought of this possibility this is y I asked for help from Zues and the other gods and yet only 2 gods answered my call but by the time they showed up the demon load had already given me this she side I could see her body shake slightly and her hands clench if it wasn't for your father and Persephone showing up when they did my dukedom would be destroyed and I killed even now they help protect my dukedom  wall I am away I nodded and handed her back the mask saying my father and stepmother probably wanted to repay you back for defending me when Zues found out about my existence thank you for that by the way she shrugged taking her mask which disappeared and she tapped the center of her head when she did appearing on her head was a winged silver circlet I didn't do it for you lad but for your potential and I am happy I did cuz it would seem your father says you know of a way to heal me I raised a eyebrow asking o what makes him say that she stared at me coldly those sharp eyes peering deep into my soul she could tell I was trying to avoid something I closed my eyes and side fine I may have a way to heal you but I warn you I haven't had much practice of this ability and it will probably hurt a lot sense the original purpose of this ability was to be used on the dead Athena nodded saying let me guess your talking about Hades secret undead needle technique right I opened my eyes not surprised she knows of it she was Athena after all so I simply nodded saying correct it has the same principle and form of the undead needle technique but its a hole new ability that I made my father and stepmother was stunned seeing my documents on the ability they burned those documents and told me never to us this ability unless there was no other choice not many gods nor demi gods would looked kindly at a child of death running around healing people with dark magic sense that time I have only needed to preform this ability that I named the Nekros needles 3 times all three times I healed things that other people said was impossible but and I looked at her a bit embarrassed Athena side crossing her arms saying what do you want I raised my eyebrow again and shook my head saying I want nothing miss Athena I would heal you right here if I could with no cost but sadly and I side again before finishing I would need obsidian ice or very pure obisidian to make in to needles but I neither have the obisidian nor a rune pin powerful enough to make such a thing sadly I have only just recently came to this world about a month and a few weeks ago I had just started expanding my tribe and made deals with the two other kingdoms here Athena nodded chuckling child you should leave this forest and take your tribe to your fathers kingdom out of all the others is getting hit the hardest he will need your help I side shaking my head impossible I am to weak to join the front lines I am nothing compared to the two powers in this world I might have been feared in the old world but people had good reason to fear me my old body may not have been as powerful as this one but it was well trained everyone move of my body was with quick ease hell it almost moved on its own that's how hard and well I trained not just that I had my firearms but I ant worried about those seeing how soon I will have them again probably but I may have all of the knowledge and wisdom of a veteran but my reflexes and skill is that if a subpar fighter till my body is as skilled as my old body I ant moving anywhere plus and a huge greedy fanged grin spread across my face If I stay here I can get some very sweet, sweet resources and technology Athena shook her head boy this land is about to be attacked by 5 human kingdoms when I heard this my huge grin got even bigger and a greedy purple fire appeared in my eyes as I licked my lips mumbling something about a feast Athena side and shook her head disappointedly I raised a eyebrow at her asking what dont approve of my actions she side shaking her head saying no it isn't that child but I expected more from you your a skilled leader and commander but your ruled by your emotions which clouds your judgment I side shaking my head responding miss Athena no offense but whats wrong with emotions sure they can cloud you mind and heart but they make you stronger also I have seen people overcome almost impossible feats because of a emotion be it love, hate, sadness or even greed emotions is what makes a warrior star down his enemies even when he is outnumbered but as you said your emotions cloud your judgment but that's only if you allow them to for example you can feel anger just dont let it cloud your mind you can despair but always keep your mind clear if you master your emotions you can do many great things Athena was stunned hearing my words but in the end she shook her head saying no one not even the gods can master there emotions I laughed that maybe but isn't there great wisdom in failure when she heard that she broke out laughing I was stunned at how warm and welcoming it felt after a few minutes of her laughing she took a deep breath and whipped a tear from her eyes smiling at me saying you Nekros is a very interesting man I have made my decision I will take you as my disciple your first mission is to heal me will you accept my proposal I smiled questioning at her asking your disciple what does this in tale and y me she chuckled nodding good you dont trust easy that's one thing you wont have to learn and a disciple is someone that is being trained by a stronger being then them aka their master I will train you to be a greater fighter then even anyone in your father or mothers court but being my disciple will also give you a few abilities of mine that best suits you I chuckled saying I am senseing a but coming up but this will point a target on your back my enemies will stop at nothing to capture or kill you cuz if they capture you they can steal my power that I had given to you and if they kill you this will weaken my power sense the power I give you disappears I was stunned hearing this o y is that I asked Athena stared at me wide eyed saying child dont tell me you dont know that when you pray to a god that faith strengthens them wall also the gods can give a small amount of power to there believers I was stunned hearing this my serpent eyes going wide with shock holy fuck and I slammed a hand to my head angrily no the hell I wasn't aware of this fact shit Athena nodded now you know so what will be your answer child I lowered my hand looking at her with a neutral expression responding miss Athena you still haven't told me y you chose me Athena side damn brat fine your reason shocked me I wish to see what if you say is true not just that you made me laugh I haven't done that for thousands of years normally I am cold and emotionless but being around you I feel emotion I don't know y and I want to find out there good enough child I pulled off my hat bowed my head saying thank you miss Athena this old gunslinger expect becoming your disciple Athena nodded and appearing on her back was brown owl like wings when these wings appeared 3 feathers fell off and slowly floated down but before they could hit the ground they started to glow gold before shooting onto my chest I felt a burning pain coming from my left forearm but I didn't scream out in pain or anything I simply looked raised my arm my sleeve moving back and I see a silver owl figure appear this owl had gray peering eyes when I look up Athena was gone but landing on my shoulder was a beautiful silver and gold barn owl with piercing gray eyes that's when the owl spoke boo I chuckled raising my eyebrow asking was that supposed to scare me or something the owl that was Athena side and plucked at her wing saying normally people would at least jump when they see a talking owl but you didn't even blink just what the fuck are you I laughed you do now I have a talking tigar right beside I knew it was you what other barn owl has silver and gold feathers with gray eyes huh she side good point but lets go back to your town you need rest tomorrow will be a business day I laughed shaking my head started walking through the woods again before saying naa the night is only getting started we still need to meet up with one of my beasts beasts which I put on subduing duty I seen confusion in Athena eyes but I didn't explain anything she would soon relies my plan.
