The Dragon That Devours the World

Chapter 18: lion and youth

As the snake saw, the young man who had just entered the world was curious and ignorant. If he bumped into someone else, he would most likely be used to deceive him, but he had a mother who loved him and a stepfather who respected him.

What kind of person is Amphitrite? Simply put, he is a good person.

All his life he pursued the virtues of a traditional Greek, showing generosity to outsiders and respect for warriors. When he was young, he had done many commendable heroic deeds, but now that he is old, he wants to help the younger generation even more.

For this stepson, Amphitryon strives to fulfill his responsibilities as a stepfather, teaching this naive big boy who has brute force but doesn't know the world what is right and what is wrong.

In the palace of Thebes, a man and a young man are fighting with clubs.

After fighting for a while, the man suddenly took a few steps back, waved his hand and said, "No more fighting, no more fighting."

Holding a wooden stick, he panted slightly, looked at the young man and shook his head.

"Old, indeed old. If I was young, I might still be able to beat you, but now I can't."

The young man raised his head proudly and said with his hands on his hips.

"Of course, no one in the whole world can beat me."

The young man was triumphant, and he clearly said extremely arrogant words, but it gave the impression of an ignorant and simple big boy.

The man looked at the big boy in front of him and laughed.

"It's not wrong for you to think so. I don't know in this world, but there should be few people in Greece who can beat you."

Although Amphitrite had not fought with anyone for a long time, he was once a hero who was famous throughout Greece.

As a young man, he took back his herds and territories for the former king of Thebes, Electrion, from his neighbors, and because of this he married the king's daughter, Alcmene.

In that bull-taking operation, he personally went to the enemy country, defeated the cannibal-addicted fox, and attracted the daughter of King Puterilaus, and asked her to take the initiative to unplug her father while he was asleep. The blond hair of my father's life.

Combat, seduction, all kinds of means are used.

With all his strength, the young hero finally defeated the powerful and invulnerable king who was blessed by the magic of the golden hair, and then returned to his country, where, amid flowers and honor, he married the princess and became the heir of the kingdom.

Thinking about it now, even Amphitrion couldn't help but feel afraid of the fierce battle back then, but if there were any mistakes, the young hero is probably already a dead bone, right?

For this reason, Amphitrite, who has seen many things in the world, believes that although the stepson in front of him is immature, his force is already the best in the world.

But listening to the man's words, the young man's face showed dissatisfaction.

"Then how can I be the strongest?"

Although his stepson is smart and brave, he still doesn't know how to hide his thoughts.

Facing the youth full of youthful energy, a tired man sat on the grass, then waved his hand, signaling the youth to come over.

The young man sat down beside him obediently.

"Hercules, force is important, but force cannot solve all problems. Sometimes, the problem may be caused by your own force."

The man said with some emotion in his heart.

His face was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Hercules, no one knows the mountains of the wilderness, but the hills next to the city-states make people build temples."

"If you want to be a hero, you should make a laudable achievement and make the world fear you and make you a target."

"Then how can I make my reputation known to people?"

The young man asked again.

The man thought about it and replied.

"Defeat evil monsters, find treasures far away, or seize a kingdom of your own, Hercules, these are the things that will best enhance your reputation."

As the man said, the heroes of Greece were famous for it.

Of course, he will not say that these are things he has already done.

Showing off or something, such a childish thing, a man has already passed this age.

"Like me, I helped the king of Thebes..."

In front of his stepson, the man began to brag about his youthful exploits.

After a casual chat, the man left, while the young man stayed where he was.

Under the clear sky, the young man lay comfortably on the grass, blocking the bright sunlight in front of him with his hands.

Between the fingers, a sparse light fell.

There is curiosity and ignorance in his eyes. He is still too immature, and he does not understand many things, but the deepest part of his pupils has a strange light.

"There are not many people in Greece who can beat me..."

talking to himself.

Disappointment appeared on the young man's face.

The whole of Greece has many city-states with dense populations, among which there are many descendants of gods, and even demigods who are still active in the world.

Considered one of the strongest in the whole of Greece, which is undoubtedly a high rating, but for the youth, it is not enough.

If it is just like this, it is not enough to satisfy his wishes, let alone marry that person, or even defeat the father of all demons.

He can't just be one of the strongest, he has to be the strongest, so strong that no one can challenge him, that's the real start.

Yes, get started.

The young man has no doubts about the power of the Father of Ten Thousand Demons, because he has personally seen it.

"It's not enough... it's not enough."

"I have to get stronger."

Deep in the pupils, the desire became clearer.

In the youth's body, strands of snake blood are surging in this body, and the youth's inner desire is restless, making this body stronger and stronger.

Stronger, stronger.

Inspired by the blood of the snake, the youth is getting stronger every day.

The youth of today can beat the youth of yesterday, and the youth of tomorrow can beat the youth of today.

It changes day by day, with no end.

If it were an ordinary person, he might die because his potential was exhausted in a very short period of time, but the young man’s body is like a bottomless pit, and there will always be endless potential to be tapped.

And such an endless power, what will be at the end of the road, even the king of gods and the father of snakes can't estimate.

...

Soon, the youth ushered in an opportunity.

He heard the news that a lion appeared at the foot of Mount Cateron and devoured the cattle and people of King Amphitryon.

It is said that the lion fell from the moon, its fur is invulnerable, and its claws are indestructible.

And beasts like this are everywhere in Greece.

In the forests and swamps, there are all kinds of man-eating beasts and monsters, roaming lions, and wild boars. Therefore, the greatest responsibility of the heroes is to eliminate these beasts.

King Amphitryon was very angry with the lion and wanted to recruit warriors and offered a gold reward, but the young man volunteered.

He has been in Thebes for some time, and intends to start from Thebes and establish his own legends and achievements.

Amphitryon admired the courage of his stepson and prepared weapons and armor for him, but the young man proudly rejected these weapons and armor.

"I only believe in myself, and this stick."

The young man waved the wooden stick in his hand. There is nothing special about this wooden stick. It is just that the young man made a tree at any time when he first came to the world and used it to beat the wild beasts in the forest.

It is not a magical weapon, but after using it for a long time, the young man finds it very handy.

"What's the use of such a stick?"

Amphitrite said in confusion.

"Because it was the weapon of the great Hercules."

The young man raised his head.

The youth who left the palace went to Mount Cateron. There, the youth who obeyed the farmers' instructions came to a forest.

Lions are not difficult to find, because lions have never thought of hiding themselves.

In the open space full of corpses, the huge lion was gnawing at the corpse of a soldier.

Those warriors who were recruited by the bounty died in front of the lion just like that. Their armor couldn't protect them, and the lion chewed it up like a fish bone and swallowed it.

From a distance, the young man could hear the low roar of the lion and the shrill sound of the teeth smashing the metal, which made the scalp tingle.

When he saw the lion, the young man said in surprise.

"Leo? Is that you?"

The lion also raised his head, and it smelled a familiar scent.

Its mouth is full of bloodstains~www.readwn.com~ There are still vaguely visible flesh and blood between the densely covered teeth, and it is terrifying.

Seeing the grown up young man, the lion tilted his head, as if he wasn't sure.

"Alcades?"

The lion spit out words, but the young man was not surprised and laughed.

"It's really you."

The lion also let out a terrifying laugh, and the lion's laughter was low and strange.

"Arcades... Arcades, go to hell!"

"Roar!"

The inexplicably angry lion roared, dropped the corpse beneath him, and charged towards the youth.
