I Will Eventually Embark On The Road Of No Return Called A Hero

"Then...bye."

Atalanta bit her lip and sat up until Cyd's breath had completely disappeared, bright red blood dripping on her on the legs.

"Why..."

Why doesn't she understand her heart yet.

"Do you look down on me that much?"

It's okay to say it's alright...why did she leave, does she look so vulnerable?

"I...will not stop."

"What does Atalanta as a hunter do but hunt?"

"I will always Hunt you, even if it ends in Netherworld."

"Until you understand my love."

"That's my answer to you too."

Atalanta covered his left wrist and slowly curled up.

Chapter 60 Going to Netherworld

He was the big brother of the gods, but he became the king of Netherworld, and the youngest brother, Zeus, the king of the gods In comparison, he always seems to be a little down and out, but he always plays the role of the villain in any myth involving him. He is basically a symbol of the unknown, and normal people don't like this god, because no one likes death. , seeing him is equivalent to death.

"This is... Netherworld?" Cyd said one mouthful of impure air, "It's really not easy..."

It's not easy in every sense, light It took his boss's efforts to get rid of Atalanta's endless hunting, tricked her "sense of smell", cleared the trails along the way, and even changed the terrain of the entire forest with Demeter's blessing in order to delay her.

He finally came to the Underworld after all his untold hardships. I'm glad...

Ah? Why do I feel so happy in hell, am I finally crazy?

Cyd wiped the nonexistent tears from the corners of his eyes and walked to the bank of the river that seemed to be wrapped in mist and could not see the end.

"The boatman... hasn't come yet?" Cyd sniffed the air around him, and it was as rotten as the rumored one, no wonder Demeter solemnly vowed that Persephone wouldn't stay awake Here, as long as there are living beings, they will not like it here.

But isn't it a little pathetic to think Hades has to be here forever? Obviously he's the big brother...

"crash-bang ――――"

The sound of the oars rowing across the water brought Cyd's thoughts back.

"Aiya~ It looks like a special guest has arrived today~"

A small wooden boat appeared in Cyd's field of vision, dressed in black robe and holding a paddle The silhouette made a low, low voice.

"Why do people like to wear black robes these days," Cyd asked in a low voice, pulling Medusa's hand.

"He's not human, and neither am I," Medusa seriously corrected Cyd's mistake.

"I can hear it!" The boatman patted the water with his oars with black lines on his face.

“Please drive us there,” Cyd began to fumble in his pockets, remembering Hephaestus giving him the toll.

"Huh? You two are alive, right? I'm impossible to take you there. Come back when you die," the boatman waved his hand.

"This is the toll..." Cyd took out a small leather bag, and the sparkling gold coins seemed to light up the entire Underworld.

Of course it's impossible, but it's still possible to light up some greedy guy.

"Come on! Uncle sit here!"

The boatman jumped out of the boat with a very fast speed, and very thoughtfully took out a wooden board as a bridge and built it on the river bank between the ship.

"..."

"What about not letting the living in?" Cyd flicks with the finger, two shiny gold coins flew into the hands of the boatman's backbone .

"After all, I have to make a living. There are a lot of paupers recently. It is also a kind of extra money to lead the way for you heroes." The boatman wiped the gold coins in his hand.

"What's the use of gold coins in Underworld," Cyd rolled the eyes, picked up Medusa and jumped into the boat.

"Although I don't know if I'm alive now, but..." The boatman stuffed the gold coins into the black robe, "Sure enough, I still want gold coins."

"It doesn't matter. Do you mean to be greedy for money to the end?" Cyd sat on the boat with Medusa in his arms.

"This is the rule," the boatman jumped onto the boat with a nonchalant look on his face, "It seems that there is only pauper today and there are so many~ But it's really good to rest with just one back and forth~"

Cyd frowned.

"So much?"

"Ah~ Uncle, can't you see?" The boatman lifted the black robe on his head, dim-blue flames in his empty eye sockets Jumping, the pale skeletons opened and closed, "You've been standing among them just now~"

Cyd's expression froze, and he turned his head slowly like a robot to the river bank that was gradually moving away, blocking his vision before. The white fog was dissipating, and the squirming human figures piled up on the river bank, and their pale hands were constantly grasping in their direction.

Just now he was actually squeezed among these things...

Cyd covered his mouth subconsciously, Medusa tilted his head, stretched out a small hand and gently stroked Cyd 's brain.

"Oh yeah~ Uncle, your expression is very strange~ Obviously the only difference between you and them is life and death," the boatman shook his head and teased, "Not long ago, there was a hero who didn't face Change said [no wonder, I also saw a few familiar faces]."

"This is not the way you should treat the uncle," Cyd rolled the eyes.

"Well~ After all, I can drive this boat. Who is the uncle depends on my mood," the boatman patted the water with his oars. "There are a lot of people down here who want to be uncles."

>

"Ding————"

With a crisp sound, a gold coin flew high and landed on the boatman's skull accurately.

"Do you need me to rub your shoulders, sir?"

"Please be a boatman quietly," Cyd covered his face with black lines, "Otherwise I would feel The faintly discernable auditory hallucinations are from you."

Probably because he was a little nervous when he first went to Underworld, and he could always hear some desolate cries.

"That's not an auditory hallucination~" The blue flame in the boatman's eyes jumped suddenly, "This is a river that will never rise once it sinks, the dead will never die again, they only It will sink to the bottom of the river forever."

"I said..." Cyd narrowed his eyes, "How did they sink?"

"The boat is not enough," The boatman shrugged, "The money they gave is only enough to get here, so I will only take them here, and if there is no money, I will throw them down~"

"If you don't have enough money, don't take them at first. Ah them," Cyd sighed.
