I Will Be the Son of Man

Well!

A look of pain flashed in her eyes, Sasha bit her lip, not letting herself cry out in pain.

"Sasha?"

His eyes were focused on the road and the condition of the horses. Because it was his first time riding a horse, Hill was very cautious and put almost all his energy on this aspect.

However, as if hearing a strange sound behind him, Hill couldn't help asking.

"Well...it's okay, you can leave quickly, Hill..."

Feeling that her breathing became a little difficult, Sasha shook her head lightly, and leaned on Hill's back with some difficulty.

Listening to the powerful heartbeat from Hill and the gradually weakening voice in her chest, for some reason, Sasha felt a sense of gratitude and peace of mind.

"Hill..."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing, it's just... just want to call your name..."

"Really? Sasha, it's strange."

"I also feel... myself, it's weird..."

"However, I've become so... weird, and I probably have to... blame myself..."

"Blame yourself?"

Hill blinked, puzzled, but immediately turned his attention back to driving the horses.

"Yeah, if...you weren't picked up stupidly back then, now...maybe it wouldn't be so strange..."

"But, anyway...thank you, Hill..."

Say sorry to Regulus and the others for me...

Out of focus, he saw a figure in a black robe, suspended in the air, holding a sickle.

Needless to say, Sasha also sensed who the other party was.

That is the god of death, Thanatos, the existence that everyone will see when they die.

Thanatos nodded lightly towards Sasha, and waved the sickle in his hand ruthlessly.

In the next second, a soul was separated from Sasha's body and floated to Thanatos' side.

【Let's go...】

Obviously didn't speak, but the voice rang directly in his mind, "Sasha" said something softly towards Thanatos, and after a moment of silence, Thanatos nodded slowly.

With the promise of the God of Death, "Sasha" floated to Hill and looked at him with a smile for a while, as if trying to remember something.

Then, her lips parted slightly, and the shape of her mouth changed slightly.

—Goodbye, Hill.

--If you can......

Before he could finish speaking, the allotted time had come.

The scythe in Thanatos' hand opened a dark crack, and then "Sasha" was sucked into it, and Thanatos' figure also disappeared.

Suddenly feeling as if he had lost something, Hill raised his head and turned to look at Sasha leaning on his back, as if he had fallen asleep, blinking his eyes.

"Sasha?"

******

Mount Olympus, inside a certain palace.

There was a look of surprise on Aphrodite's face, with surprise in her eyes.

"Did you die because of Ruya? This is really beyond control..."

"However, let's see the situation first, after all, it is still part of the content of the bet."

"Then, let me see, what are you going to do, Son of Man who doesn't know what love is..."

Aphrodite raised her eyebrows with interest as she looked at the young man holding the dead girl in a daze in the picture.

******

"Sister Sasha, is she dead?"

Seeing Sasha who was lying peacefully on the ground of the temple as if she was asleep, Regulus froze for a moment.

"This child was shot by a flow arrow, and the arrow seems to have been poisoned..."

"Oh, poor child, may Lord Hades bless your soul."

The old priest simply checked the arrow that hit Sasha's back heart, shook his head, and sighed.

In fact, he only heard about what happened in Athens today after his old friend Agatha and the group of children came over.

"May your soul rest in peace..."

The old priest was originally a believer in Hades, the king of the underworld. This time, he ordered people to put the poor girl into the coffin as usual.

"You guys, what are you doing?"

Hill grabbed the hand of the servant who wanted to lift Sasha's body, and asked with a blank expression.

"Brother Hill..."

Knowing that it wasn't Hill's fault, but now that Sasha was dead, Regulus felt that even if he wanted to reject the reality, he should let the other party rest in peace first.

"Child, you have to be clear, she is dead."

"Now, only by burying the child's body can her soul rest in peace..."

The old priest sighed. He felt that Hill might not be able to accept this fact, but even if it was annoying, he had to say these words.

After all, after so many years of sacrifice, he has also seen all kinds of existences who are reluctant to leave others.

Hill was silent for a while, he let go of the servant's hand, but what made people confused was that he was still standing in front of Sasha's body.

The kindness has not been repaid.

Moreover, if the arrow hadn't been for the opponent sitting behind him, it might have hit him who was in poor condition.

So, the amount of kindness increases again.

Seeing that Hill was still standing stubbornly and refused to leave, the old priest just wanted to continue to dissuade him, when suddenly a gust of wind blew in the temple.

A figure with long green hair, wearing a long coat and a cloak, and holding a coiled snake short spear appeared in front of Hill and the others.

"you are......"

Sensing the aura of the gods from the other party, the old priest and the attendants in the temple quickly knelt down.

Only those children who were still ignorant and ignorant stood there blankly, looking at this sudden existence with a little curiosity with eyes that hadn't wiped away their tears.

And Regulus was the same, with doubts on his frowning face.

“[Hero of Silver], hello, my name is Hermes, let’s be considered a god!”

"I'm not a hero, you, what's the matter?"

I don't know why there is no interest in talking at this time, Hill frowned, looking at the god who always had a smile on his face in front of him.

"It seems that your heart is a little confused, son of man."

After changing the title, Hermes was not angry because of Hill's attitude.

"Heart, chaos?"

"That's right! But, you probably can't feel it now!"

"In fact, I've been following you for a long time! Originally, I thought you would take the path of a hero, but I didn't expect you to choose another path?"

Hermes stepped forward, he looked at the young girl who had passed away early on the ground, and sighed softly, but immediately, he felt as if he had seen her somewhere.

"So, what do you want from me?"

"It's not that I have something to do with you. It should be said that I'm here to help you."

After being interrupted by Hill, Hermes withdrew his gaze, then looked directly at Hill and said.

"Did you know that after death, the soul is usually taken to the underworld."

"And if you die completely, unless the soul has crossed the river and passed the trial..."

"So, as long as the soul is brought back before then, maybe people can be resurrected..."

Hermes had a mysterious smile on his face, and Hill also raised his head at this time, with a golden light shining in his eyes.

Chapter 041: Journey to the Underworld (Triple in One, 37/n)

"resurrection?"

After repeating the question, Hill looked directly at Hermes.

"Yes, resurrection! But, there is only this possibility!"

"After all, even if you managed to find the girl's soul before those rituals, whether you can resurrect her or not is not up to me, but the one in the underworld."

"Better hope than nothing, though, isn't it?"

Hermes looked at Hill with a smile, as if waiting for the boy's answer.

"You can't fail without trying."

"Underworld, I will go."

In order to repay Sasha's kindness, Hill made a decision without hesitation.

"But why are you telling me this, Hermes?"

Facing Hill's seemingly puzzled gaze, Hermes smiled.
