The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

The traveler god Hermes roared, displaying his divine power.

“Fate didn't choose you? Then take control of fate… Hahaha, interesting, this is really too interesting… Let go and do it, let go and do it!!!”

Hermes's voice boomed in Wei Gong's heart like a war drum. At the same time, along with Hermes's roar, a certain power in the spear seemed to be suppressed.

Magic power surged in like a tide. Accompanied by Hermes's divine power, Wei Gong's determination became even firmer.

“Boom—”

The surrounding adventurers fell into a brief silence, followed by grand cheers.

“Oh oh oh oh oh!!!”

“It's been pulled out!!!”

“Long live!!!”

They didn't know exactly what had happened, only that someone had finally pulled out the gun—like a hero in a story.

“Hello, God Hermes.”

Wei Gong raised the spear in his hand: “May I ask, what exactly is this spear…”

The instinct of a projection mage made Wei Gong subconsciously begin to “analyze” this weapon. However, the situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Clutching his aching forehead, Wei Gong said: “Analysis, failed?”

It was like trying to crack a large encrypted file of thousands of GB, but the processing speed was only 1KB/S, and this was already the result of overclocking the computing components.

Hermes said: “But one thing I can guarantee is that ‘Goddess's Blessing’ and ‘World Travel’ are both real. This event is recognized by the Guild.”

“Do you mind coming to the Hestia Familia's base for a detailed discussion, God Hermes?”

“No problem, it should be so.”

On the other side of the street, in the shadows, a beautiful “goddess” with long moon-blue hair weakly slumped against the wall, breathing heavily. She gritted her teeth, trying hard to stand up, her slender fingers gently stroking her neck.

In addition, below her clothes, on her lower abdomen, there was a “command seal” in the shape of a sword and shield.

These were precisely the proof of being “dominated” as a weapon.

But as Hermes said, this was her only chance for salvation.

The “goddess” gasped: “Then, to be used by him is my destiny, my ‘salvation’…”

Chapter 134 Artemis.

“Let me introduce to everyone, this is the ‘Goddess Artemis,’ she is the sponsor of this New Moon Festival event.”

Her long blue hair was like lake water under the moon, soft and smooth, gently rippling with starlight, as if merging with the night sky. Her bright and deep emerald green eyes revealed pure kindness and gentle determination.

Around her swan-like white and slender neck, she wore a black silk neck ring, covering a large area of fair skin.

This discordant element, which was originally incompatible with the goddess's sacred image, unexpectedly added a touch of mystery and allure to it, blending a touch of enchanting unique charm into her sacred temperament.

Her familia mainly focuses on exploring and subjugating monsters, belonging to the combat faction. However, unlike many gods, Artemis did not choose to stay in Orario, but expanded the familia's scope of activities to the vast areas outside the city.

Overall, the monsters outside are far inferior to the monsters in the dungeon in terms of both quantity and individual strength. When monsters in the labyrinth leave the dungeon, their strength and ferocity tend to gradually decrease over time.

According to the Guild's information, the total number of members in the Artemis Familia is close to twenty, including at least one Lv.3 and one Lv.2 upper-level adventurer.

“Artemis, long time no see.”

The goddess Hestia stood up, smiling and welcoming the moon goddess, her voice carrying a hint of joy from a long-awaited reunion.

Artemis walked towards Hestia lightly and firmly. However, when Hestia thought the goddess was coming to greet her, Artemis bypassed her and walked straight towards Wei Gong.

“Can you become my ‘Orion’?”

Her voice was gentle and pleading, as if exploring a promise of fate.

At the same time, in the center of the maze city, at the top of the Babel Tower, an unusual team quietly gathered.

Beside her were three equally exquisite elves.

With long white-gold hair, wearing a pure white robe, and a calm expression, as if isolated from the world, the elf mage, Hedin Selland, is a Lv.6 member of the Freya Familia, a top mage in the maze city, [White Elf's Magic Wand]

The last one is a petite white-haired elf. Her appearance is completely like a cute girl in her teens, but her actual age, seniority, and qualifications far exceed those of the people present.

Rivellia, who is nearly a hundred years old, grew up listening to the stories of this senior. Before she was born, she was a famous sage in the Elf Forest, a master of magic who still mastered a large number of magical rituals and elven secret arts without the grace of God.

Later, in order to explore the mysteries of magic more deeply, Furianna left the Elf Forest and joined the [Academy District]

Because the [Academy District] happened to be near Orario and did not go too far, this powerful and experienced elf mage was also invited by the Guild to help in an emergency—

And now, four Lv.6 elves are gathered here, but the atmosphere is unusually…subtle.

In terms of bloodline, Rivellia is the princess of the elf race and has a higher status than the others. At the same time, [Millennium Holy Staff] Furianna is an elder whose age far exceeds theirs.

And [White Elf's Magic Wand] Hedin, he is a subject of the elf royal family and a junior of [Millennium Holy Staff]. But at the same time, he is also a member of the Freya Familia, the first faction in the city.

He cannot “be disrespectful to the royal family and elders” nor can he “weaken the prestige of the Freya Familia.” This situation makes Hedin extremely uncomfortable.

[Millennium Holy Staff] Furianna, as everyone's elder, was originally the only one who could break the subtle atmosphere, but she seemed to have no interest in it.

“So scary, Princess Rivellia is so scary, Lord Furianna is also so scary, Hedin is also so scary… I want to go home, I want to hide in Lady Freya's arms, God, someone save me!”

Under such circumstances, the gods finally arrived late.

Along with Hermes and Artemis, Ryu and Wei Gong also came to the Babel Tower.

Such a team is the strongest magical force that the maze city, and even the entire world, can currently organize.

“God Hermes, you and the Guild's God Uranus have gathered us here at great lengths. What is the matter? Can you explain it now?”

Hermes lowered his head slightly, the brim of his hat covering his eyes: “I'm sorry to bother you, but at this moment, the maze city—no, the entire world, needs your power!”

Everyone was silent for a moment. After a while, [Millennium Holy Staff] Furianna lowered her head again, returning her gaze to the book, and at the same time made a brief—

Hedin pushed his glasses and asked.

“‘Andariel’ is a dangerous monster that has lived from ancient times to the present.”

“In the distant ancient times, the fairies sealed it in the Elsos ruins in the [Great Tree Sea]. It seems that with the passage of time, the seal has gradually become ineffective.”

Several young elves shifted their gaze guiltily.

Hedin, Hegni, and Ryu said: “Ah? Library? What library?”

Furianna sighed, she looked at Hermes: “However, if you want to defeat ‘Andariel,’ why are you looking for us? Leon should be more suitable, he should be very happy to help with this.”

The white-feathered hat on his head was blown away by the strong wind, and his golden hair danced wildly in the wind. His handsome face, as if transcending the mortal realm, now revealed a hint of ferocity and fanaticism.

“Artemis! Is this your resolve? Is this the will with which you seek salvation? Is that all there is to it!!!”

Shirou gripped the spear tightly, feeling the struggle of that power. He poured all his magic power into the spear, completely suppressing it.

At that moment, it seemed as if the weight of an entire world was pressing down on his hands.

Shirou pulled out the spear, and the crystal sealing the spearhead shattered with a bang. Fragments flew in all directions, leaving several wounds on him and Hermes, even leaving a bloody mark on Hermes's cheek.

“Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hermes.”

The male deity casually wiped away the blood droplets from his cheek, and the astonishing divine might was completely restrained: “It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Shirou Emiya.”

The silver-white spear was no longer as dim as before. The divine inscriptions on the spear shaft lit up, shimmering with mysterious colors, and the gorgeous spearhead originally sealed in the crystal was also released.

No, it wasn't a failure, but rather, the progress of analysis was extremely slow.

Shirou temporarily gave up analyzing the spear in his hand. The essence of this weapon was not something he could understand at his current level.

“Regarding this ‘Spear of Artemis,’ let's find a quiet place to talk in detail.”

Hermes took out a parchment of “Event Announcement” from his traveler's bag and unfolded it. Shirou clearly saw the guild's seal in the lower right corner.

After Shirou looked at it, he returned the parchment to the other party and asked.

Hermes politely responded: “However, please wait for us for a while. The sponsor of this event should actually meet with you, but her condition is probably not very good right now, so please give her some time.”

On the goddess's white and slender skin, there was an additional red and black thorn curse mark, which looked like a beautiful and dangerous necklace.

Originally, with her level, she could easily resist the adventurer's domination skill with a little bit of her true power.

“No matter, what method… he is the only one who pulled out ‘Orion's Arrow’…

“He is, my Master, my, ‘Orion’…”

Shirou and the goddess Hephaestus did not wait long before Hermes brought Artemis to the Volcano Manor.

He already knew that the spear in his hand was called “Spear of Artemis,” and now, he finally saw the true face of the Moon Goddess.

The goddess's figure was slender and athletic, with the power and elegance of a huntress. Her curves were beautiful, and every inch of her skin exuded a pure beauty, with a luster as soft as moonlight. Her waist was slender but full of strength, and the graceful lines danced lightly with her steps, like a night breeze caressing the water.

Artemis, in the divine realm, is known as one of the three virgin goddesses. Her divine duties are the moon, chastity, and hunting.

After Artemis came to the Lower World, like most gods, she bestowed the Grace of God upon the children of the Lower World and founded her own Familia.

Outside the dungeon, there are also traces of various monsters. Some monsters escape from the dungeon through various means; some are wild beasts from the outside world that have mutated into monsters by devouring magic stones or being infected by the magic power in the earth's veins; there are also descendants of ancient monsters, and magical beasts that have escaped from ancient secret realms.

Although the Artemis Familia mainly operates outside the city, and the goddess Artemis descended to the Lower World relatively late, the strength of this Familia should not be underestimated, and it has developed rapidly in recent years.

Even in the labyrinth city of Orario, this Familia can be regarded as a strong backbone force.

“The last time we met was when we were still in the Heavenly Realm, right?”

In the Heavenly Realm, Hephaestus and Artemis were close divine friends. The friendship between them was deep, and those who were close to them also included the goddess of the hearth, Hestia, who had not yet descended.

She stopped in front of Shirou, and a deep light flickered in her emerald green eyes. Then, she stretched out her hand, and her hands gently but firmly held the boy's right hand.

Shirou was slightly stunned. After a moment, he said: “Nice to meet you, Goddess Artemis… My name is Shirou Emiya.”

In the most central position was the emerald-green-haired, majestic, and beautiful Elf Princess, the [Nine Magic Princesses] of the Loki Familia, Riviria Ljos Alf, the strongest mage in the city at Level 6.

The dark elf with black skin and white hair had a slender figure but an overwhelming aura. She was currently the strongest swordsman in the city, a Level 6 adventurer, [Black Demon Magic Sword] Hogni Ragnar.

She is a member of the Familia of the goddess of youth, Idun, or more precisely, a member of the [Academy District], a Level 6 mage, [Millennium Holy Staff] Frianna Elion.

She is also one of the few elves in Riviria's memory who has no respect for the royal family.

She remembered that in the letter Frianna wrote to Rafale, Riviria's father, she directly criticized him as a pedantic and conservative "stupid child."

She obtained the Grace of God from the goddess of youth, Idun, and traveled around the world with the [Academy District] as a professor of magic, history, and comprehensive theology.

If Artemis's method doesn't work, they will gather the power of Riviria and others, use the powerful magic power of the first-level adventurers, and Frianna's secret elven magic circle to forcibly activate the "Spear of Artemis" and erase the awakened scorpion demon "Andares" from the world.

Riviria didn't like being revered and worshiped by the elves because of her status as a princess, but in front of these few clan members with special identities, she had to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

In the labyrinth city, especially in the Tower of Babel, where the Freya Familia reigns supreme, his attitude also represents the goddess's position, especially when facing the Loki Familia, the second faction in the city.

From beginning to end, she just sat there, carefully studying a rare ancient book—this was one of the rewards the guild paid her to take action.

As for [Black Demon Magic Sword] Hogni, he couldn't be counted on at all. He looked calm on the outside, but his heart was completely flustered.

The subtle atmosphere continued. Frianna looked down at her book, Hogni remained silent, and Heding and Riviria occasionally exchanged polite pleasantries, but it only made the atmosphere more awkward.

Four Level 6s and one Level 5 were all elven mages or magic swordsmen with powerful magic power, plus one spear wielder.

Chapter 135 Andares.

The petite, white-haired elf with the cute twin-tail hairstyle raised her eyes from the book and looked at the gods opposite her with a calm and cold tone.

The voice of the Traveler God paused for a moment. He raised his head to meet the gazes of the elves and Shirou.

Hermes said solemnly: "The ancient demon, the scorpion 'Andares,' has awakened."

"Oh."

"May I ask, what is 'Andares'? Does Lady Frianna know?"

Hogni, Ryu, and others looked over. Obviously, they had never heard of this name either.

Frianna's tone was still unchanged:

As she said, she looked at Riviria and the others: "The grand library of Alfheim and the libraries of the major elven forests should have records. Haven't you all read them?"

Riviria thought to herself: "I read that book recording ancient demons as a storybook when I was a child, and I don't remember many of the details…"

The Leon that Frianna mentioned was Leon Waldenburg, a Level 7 [Knight Supreme] who was also a professor in the [Academy District].

As one of the only two Level 7s in the world, he is on par with the [Strongest] Ottar in the labyrinth city.
