Chapter 60 - Level 27 [p12]. More "hunting" and finally... (1/2)
Two days have passed after the attack on Athens. I acquired all the information on all of the dangerous monsters across the Greek World as well as some of the adjacent countries.
That info included habitats of a Manticore, Chimaera and a Sea Serpent. So, with all that information I started my slaugh-... I mean hunting spree.
Of course, there were other promising monsters amongst the ones described in the acquired information, but I was short on time I could spend on hunting for new traits. The Order was after me and I could feel that they are getting close.
However, with all the problems I made in Greece, it will be hard for them to get any support. Plus, they will be looking for a dead man at that point. At least, thats how it goes in my mind. Moreover, after sacking Athens's magical commune, Greeks will look after a scapegoat for their problems for sure. So, these idiots from Order will be walking into a bunch of angry robbed wizards.
In these two days, I was able to hunt down a manticore and a chimaera, but getting to a Sea Serpent was impossible due to time constraints. After all, searching through and in the Mediterranean Sea is no fast job.
Anyway, I still should have around a day or so. Looking at how the Order's dogs used Hermione to get my location, it is obvious that they are incapable of tracking my magical signature across the world. Thus, they need to find me with old fashioned deduction.
Time to escape Greece.
*One day later, somewhere near Athens*
”Aaargh!!”
Sound of an angry roar was heard in the mountains of Greece.
Two men were seen sitting. One of them was furiously pacing back and forth, while another was patiently waiting for his companion to calm down.
”How? How did he make us the bad guys? Now the half of the wizarding world considers us to be the bad guys. First in Britain and now here, that fuċkɨnġ progeny fuċks us up every time. And you are a freaking God, where are your Godly powers!? Do some mumbo jumbo and divine us the location of that boy!”
”I am God of a world that died,” calmy replied Dark to raging Markus, ”But even in my world I couldn't just divine somebody's location. This was and is not my divine domain. I am a God of Darkness.”
”Long explanation for one word, useless.”
”Well, indeed I am useless. I am a battle machine with a few abilities to gather information. But wizards of Athens are not your average weaklings. I can't transfer hundreds of wizards inside my domain. I will lose too much divinity and I don't have a lot of it, to begin with.”
”Well, I tried hacking humans' system and get access to them, but they are too damn old. Their satellites can't even recognize people. Moreover, all their satellites are bȧrėly good enough to map the planet. In my world...”
”Oh, don't start with that, please. We all know that Ceasar is great and your empire magnificent, and bla, bla, bla.”
*Sigh*
”We are back to square one. We don't know where is he or where he goes. Moreover, he didn't leave any magical signatures to trace back. And mages here don't want to help us, thinking that we are the ones who attacked them.”
”I told you. You can't outplay Athena. And me hoping to outsmart her was indeed a waste of time...” Dark ruefully smiled, accepting the fact that he lost to her intellect again.
”But he is not Athena... He is but a progeny.” Markus couldn't accept it.
”Athena needs just a word to start a chain of actions that will turn the world upside down. Plus, you shouldn't forget that just by mere presence, Athena affects the Universe and slowly changes the fabric of reality.”
