The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 457: Chapter 11 Holy Warrior Seiya

War God Mountain.

After several days of wholeheartedly governing, Luo En finally finished processing the mountain of documents.

After delegating some final tasks to Medusa, who could now handle them on her own, he descended from War God Mountain, winding his way to the Academy of Athens.

A few green and immature students passed by Luo En, whispering amongst themselves.

“Hey, did you hear? A giant appeared in Thessaly, and many people died.”

“Not just that, Arcadia is also suffering from Beast Disasters, and despite the priests calling out to the gods, there has been no response.”

“I also have news—that along the coast of Troizen City, it seems that Sea Beasts are active. Many ships that went out to sea never returned.”

“With the year-end promotion exams approaching and so many disasters, this trouble really comes at the wrong time.”

Hearing this complaint, one of the students shook his head and solemnly rebutted.

“That’s not the way to look at it. Our learning here is not just for the exams; it’s to eliminate misfortune for our brethren and benefit our city-state!”

Luo En, hearing this, instinctively glanced over and recognized the student who had spoken.

This young man was named Meleager, a prince of the Calydon Kingdom and quite chivalrous, much appreciated by Chiron.

“Rightly said!”

At that moment, another student excitedly agreed; his eyes sparkled before he started speaking in a grave voice.

“Just right. The city-states struck by disasters are recruiting warriors to quell the unrest. The school is about to break for the holidays, and I plan to go and see if I can help the people in need with what I have learned.”

“Good idea, count me in!”

“I’m also going; you can’t leave without me.”

Being an age of hot blood and young people eager to make their mark, the students quickly reached a consensus, agreeing to respond to the call together and behave righteously.

The young people said it and did it, rushing to their dormitories to pack their bags and set out.

Among them were some demigods, but more were ordinary cultivators who had mastered magic and some fighting techniques.

Even the demigods, compared to the gods, were just ants among creatures, ordinary and insignificant.

Where in the world do heroes fall from the sky? More often, it’s just a moment’s courage from ordinary people.

Luo En sighed with a smile, his expression relieved.

It seems that Chiron and the others taught these students well.

“Teacher? What brings you here?”

The surprised voice caught Luo En’s attention.

At that moment, a Huntress with feline ears and a tail, dressed in a robust outfit with a packed bag slung over her shoulder, appeared.

Luo En’s gaze drifted past the bag and the full quiver at the Huntress’s waist, his look puzzled.

“Atalanta, what is this about?”

“Ahem, school is out, and I was planning to head back to Arcadia to see.”

Atalanta coughed slightly, shifting her gaze away awkwardly.

Seeing this, Luo En understood.

“Is it because of the Beast Disaster?”

“How did you know?”

Caught red-handed with her true intentions revealed, Atalanta’s face showed astonishment.

Luo En observed his beloved disciple’s ears perk up in nervousness and couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle.

“When have you ever managed to lie to me since you were a child?”

Hearing this, Atalanta grew a bit embarrassed, lowering her head and honestly confessing the truth.

“I heard that my hometown has been struck by disaster, recruiting hunters to exterminate the rampaging Magic Beasts in the mountains, so I wanted to go back and see if I could help.”

Luo En nodded in understanding, then his gaze moved past Atalanta to a figure who was also carrying a packed bag, quietly turning back and hiding in the shadows of the trees.

“And you? Medea?”

Hearing the quiet question from behind, the princess from the Colchis Kingdom who was attempting to flee stiffened and, turning around awkwardly under Luo En’s half-smiling gaze, nervously fidgeted with her hands.

“I, I also thought to take a look, hoping I could help ‘Big Sister’s’ burden.”

“Big Sister?” Luo En looked at Atalanta with surprise.

With her cheeks flushing, the Huntress glared at her best friend before explaining rather embarrassedly, “That’s what they insisted on calling me.”

Luo En sized her up and down, joining in the tease.

“Is that okay, big sis?”

It must be said, because Atalanta was abandoned early in life, she became very independent. Combined with her decisive and straightforward personality, and her caring nature towards her companions, it was no wonder she seemed so reliable and earned that title.

However, having this said by her own students, whom she regarded as younger brothers and sisters, was one thing, but hearing it from her own teacher seriously exceeded Atalanta’s psychological threshold.

“Teacher!”@@novelbin@@

The Huntress protested sternly, her pretty face almost turning into a piece of red cloth.

Seeing the little kitten in front of him showing signs of exploding, Luo En quickly directed his spear at Medea, who was once again trying to slip away unnoticed.

“Why are you running? I didn’t say I disagree.”

“Big brother, you agree?”

Upon hearing this, Medea immediately stopped and turned back, her face overflowing with excitement.

Honestly, considering that Luo En had disciplined their teacher Circe quite harshly upon their first meeting, Medea always felt slightly intimidated each time she saw this elder brother.

But as long as she could get out of Athens and go on an adventure with Atalanta, she could overcome this little psychological hurdle.

“Letting you go is also fine,” Luo En said leisurely, then paused and changed the tone, “but you have to take me with you.”

“Ah? You’re coming too?” Atalanta and Medea both stared in astonishment at the powerful Chief God before them.

Was it really necessary to make such a big fuss just to quell the Beast Disaster?

Moreover, if he left, perhaps all the deities of War God Mountain might follow, and then it wouldn’t be known whether they were quelling the Beast Disaster or embarking on a war of conquest.

“Don’t worry, I myself can’t leave Athens, so I will accompany you only in the form of an incarnation,” Luo En reassured them, a hint of resignation twinkling in his eyes.

Now that Athena had gone to Troizen City, and the Goddess of Memory had returned to Mount Helicon, and with Themis and Hestia fallen into slumber, if he were to abandon his post too, the defenses of Athens might be too weak.

If during this period, someone were to harbor thoughts against Hecate and come probing, omissions could happen, which would lead to significant losses.

So, for safety, he needed to seal his true body within the Sanctuary, keep a vigilant eye on his own mentor, prepare for any emergencies, and truthfully heed advice by walking the world in the form of an incarnation, assembling heroes destined by Fate under his command.

Upon hearing Luo En’s explanation, Atalanta and Medea exchanged glances, quite moved by the idea.

Honestly, because of the busy affairs at War God Mountain, they hadn’t had much close interaction with this elderly figure who was like a father or brother to them.

Now, the opportunity to accompany him to Arcadia to settle the Beast Disaster might be a good chance to strengthen their bonds.

Subsequently, excitement and anticipation appeared on their faces as they nodded in agreement to the new member joining their group.

Later, under the curious gazes of the two, Luo En took them to the lakeside at the Academy of Athens, took out a golden Holy Grail, and poured the accumulated Divine Liquid into the lake.

“Hereby bind an oath and imprint — my incarnation!”

Accompanied by a deep chant, Luo En opened his arms and stepped gradually into the lake water, not looking back even as the water completely submerged him, as if undergoing a transformational baptism.

A moment later, a figure with black hair and brown eyes leapt out of the water with a splash, stepping onto the shore.

Looking at the reflection in the water, a face both familiar yet distinctly different, Luo En nodded in satisfaction.

To avoid the scrutiny of The Three Fates and conceal his identity, he had added some facial features from his past life to this incarnation’s body, making it difficult for even Athena to recognize him now.

Of course, if he included this, his identity would be easily recognized.

Luo En snapped his fingers, a silvery gloss flowing over and covering his body, morphing into the Sacred Robe of the Altar he once wore.

This item had been kept hidden by him, but now with the gods in retreat and needing to gather heroes destined by Fate to fill the vacancies of the eighty-eight Sacred Robes, wearing this Altar Sacred Robe which governed all eighty-eight constellations, he could immediately handle the recruitment process for suitable candidates, making it extremely convenient.

Besides, it seems the Medicine God’s cottage is nearby?

Luo En thought to himself and, without ceremony, led Medea and Atalanta into the cottage, claiming quite a few Magic Potions suitable for demigods and those with lower statuses.

Once everything was fully prepared, he left a message for Medusa, who was guarding the home, put away the Sacred Robe, dressed casually, and waved with a cheerful laugh.

“Let’s go, we can set off now.”

“Wait, I have a question.”

Cradling her staff, Medea tilted her head and scrutinized her radically changed elder brother, frowning in inquiry.

“If we are to hide our identities, shouldn’t we give you a new name?”

Upon hearing this, Luo En, looking at his reflection of black hair and brown eyes on the lake surface, smiled mischievously.

“Call me Seiya.”

Stars as arrows, power piercing through enemies? What a great name!

Atalanta, interpreting the literal meaning, couldn’t help but nod gently as she plucked her bowstring.

Subsequently, the trio set out from the City of Athens, heading towards Arcadia.
