Chapter 54. Cyd, Please Defeat Her!

I Will Eventually Embark on the Path of No Return Called a Hero - 54. Cyd, Please Defeat Her!

---

She is a famous Greek heroine, a huntress. She was the princess of Arcadia but was abandoned by her parents. If it weren't for Artemis, she might have died long ago.

She is none other than the famous huntress, Atalanta.

But at this moment, she is in a pinch.

Atalanta looked impatiently at her father Iasus.

"Atalanta, you're not too young, listen to your father and find someone to marry." As the culprit who abandoned Atalanta, Iasus shamelessly posed as a father.

Atalanta has no dissatisfaction with her life so far, and even feels a little joy because she met someone, so she has no resentment towards the parents who abandoned her, but the opposite also true. she has absolutely no gratitude for them. Now, all that love and kissing in face is just because she's been on the Argo and hunted demon pigs.

As a virgin who swore to Artemis, the goddess of the moon, it was impossible for her to marry by rule, but now she really don't know what happened, maybe because the other party was her own father or because she didn't know what to do. As expected, Atalanta surreptitiously agreed, but at the same time she also put forward some of her her own conditions.

"I will only marry someone who beats me at noon, in the witness of the Sun God Apollo, or die if he can't win."

The time is limited to noon, and only when the sun is not covered, Iasus has no problem with this. As long as Atalanta agrees, there will be countless heroes rushing to him. As long as someone comes, he has the probability of recruiting, but their is only one he is truly concerned about.

"That one, the Hero of Pure White, who hunted the devil pig with you, will he come for you?" Iasus stared at Atalanta expectantly.

Hunting demon pigs, killing demon dragons alone, obtaining Golden Fleece, legend says that he has Blessing of the Gods, Hero of Pure White. It can be said that the only one who can rival Cyd in terms of fame is Hercules. But because of some minor flaws in Hercules and the common problems of Greek heroes, Cyd is more worthy of praise in the eyes of the common people.

Iasus doesn't care about what the commoners think. What he cares about is whether or not Cyd, a hero who has no affiliation, can be included in his camp.

Iasus has no doubts about the charm of his daughter at all. During the days when Atalanta came back, almost every day all kinds of people came to propose, and the gifts were almost equal to the harvest of the first half of the year.

Heroes love beautiful women, and Cyd, a big hero, should be like this. As for why there is no rumor about Cyd's engagement with anyone until now, it must be because he was attracted by Atalanta and couldn't tolerate others!

That's right! It sure is!

"He has a name, his name is Cyd," Atalanta corrected seriously, "The person who completes those impossibles is called Cyd not Hero of Pure White."

Emmm...

Iasus doesn't really care about what Cyd is called, to be honest, he only cares if the rumored Hero of Pure White will marry Atalanta, but in order to hear what he expects from Atalanta's mouth, he tentatively changed the question.

"Then do you think Cyd will come?"

"I don't know," Atalanta shook her head.

You're making it difficult for me.

Iasus' expression was a little frozen, and Atalanta didn't have a shy expression on her face, nor did she arrogantly believe that Cyd would come back.

"Do you know why he's favored by the gods?" Atalanta stepped back and sat by the window, "He's like an outlier. Wealth, power, glory and... woman, all of that can't shake his soul."

"So he won't come?" Iasus scratched the back of his head.

"That's why I said I don't know, even now I can't see through him," Atalanta looked towards the window.

She'll be angry whether Cyd comes or not.

She will be happy whether Cyd comes or not.

Now she is in a state of extreme contradiction.

Artemis-sama, what the hell should I do?

For the first time in her life, Atalanta looked towards the sky outside the window in confusion.

Seeing that he could not get any valuable news from Atalanta, Iasus left in dissatisfaction.

"Cyd you..." Atalanta closed her eyes.

Maybe she shouldn't have come back in the first place.

But now the trial has begun. Even at the cost of death, Atalanta's beauty and fame have attracted a lot of people, and there are still many people who come to see who can pick this thorny flower.

The result is obvious, the challenger is ruthlessly hunted by Atalanta, seemingly to deter the greedy guys, Atalanta throws the tragically dead challenger into the audience every time.

Blood calms many people, but some people don't, and Hippomenes is one of them. He still stares at Atalanta with his hands full of blood with greedy eyes, but he is not a fool. What Atalanta has shown is overwhelming speed without any flaws, and the only thing that can beat her is being faster than her, or the one who can hinder her!

Hippomenes quietly left the audience, and thinking that only God could hinder the heroine.

"Cyd..." Atalanta subconsciously looked around all around, the very conspicuous white haired hero did not appear in her field of vision, and a strange feeling spread in her heart.

It must have spread all over Greece that he could marry her if he beat her, but Cyd still didn't show up.

At this moment...

"That..." Looking at Artemis in front of him, Cyd had a headache, "Is there something?"

"I want you to help me with one thing," Artemis didn't laugh at hehe as usual, and the unexpected seriousness made Cyd get serious too.

"Atalanta is getting married."

"Hmmmm????" Cyd stared wide-eyed.

"This is truly going to happen!" Artemis looked worried.

"Please joke next time," Cyd gasped, clutching his chest, "The human heart is very fragile."

"You don't want this to happen, right?" Artemis leaned in front of Cyd.

"Cough cough, if Ata... If she...she's willing, then I'll bless her," Cyd didn't dare look Artemis in the eye.

"What if she doesn't want to?"

"Of course being a friend is to help her," Cyd said seriously.

"Then go and help her," Artemis put her hand on Cyd's shoulder, "Her pride won't allow herself to go to me for help, but the challengers will go to other gods, Atalanta must be sure that she will lose at a certain time, so before that..."

"Please defeat her!"
