Chapter 80 - Artemis (2/2)

Hermes smile and looked at Jin.

”Okay, she can come along but I don't have a place where we can talk privately.” Jin nodded at Hermes.

Hermes ponder for a while then he looked at Hestia.

”I have something in my mind.”

...

Jin and the rest were inside the abandoned church. This place is where Hestia and Bell live.

Mercphobia just sat down in the corner. He doesn't have a plan to join the conversation. He left it all to Jin. He's always like this even in Elmina. He always left Caramile to manage most of the town.

Jin sat down in the bench and said, ”So can you tell me why do you want to talk here?”

Artemis just silently looked at him in the eye. While Hestia was looking back and fort at Jin and Artemis. Bell's group was in the basement.

”Actually there's a monster that appeared outside of Orario. The Artemis Familia found it, but it is difficult to control. She came here in Orario to search... ” Hermes didn't managed to finish his words as Jin interrupted him.

”So, I was chosen to handle this monster because I'm the one who pulled the sword.” Jin said as he looked at Hermes at the corner of his eyes.

”Yeah. Just like what you said.” Hermes nodded at him.

Artemis grabbed the sword(arrow) and walked towards Jin. She stopped in front of him and said, ”I've looked for you for a long time, Orion.

”My hope.”

Jin just looked at her and then at the sword(arrow) at her hands.

Artemis push the sword(arrow) in front of him.

”Being strong is not what makes you worthy of this sword, but a pure soul that knows no corruption.”

Jin grabbed the sword(arrow) in her hands. He thought, 'Pure soul, huh? I have a powerful soul because of my cultivation level. My soul already have 2-fate inside it. But how could I have a pure soul, maybe because of the Heavenly God Technique. And she said that I have a pure soul that knows no corruption. Maybe that's the case, but my mind is already corrupted from the beginning not soul. Or maybe it's because of the system.'

While Jin was thinking about the pure soul, Artemis raised both of her hands and place it at the side of Jin's mask.

”Eh...?” Hestia at the side was surprised when she saw it.

Jin snapped out of his daze when she felt her hands through his mask. He looked at her in the eyes.

Artemis looked at his clear black eyes and slowly removed his mask.

”I want you and you're immaculate soul to come with me, Orion.”

Jin smile and said, ”If a goddess like Artemis ask me something like that, how could I decline it.”
