Chapter 147: The Light of Excalibur!
Buzz—
Under the light of the "Flower of Good," all the scorpions gradually stopped.
Their "malice" was being erased little by little.
Without malice, they naturally stopped attacking people.
In contrast, under the radiance of the Flower of Good, the injuries on the members of the Hermes Familia began to slowly heal.
Although the speed was not fast, this was wide-area healing.
If this spread to Orario, it would definitely cause a super earthquake.
However, this was only the beginning.
Ethan raised his hand, and a pitch-black demonic sword appeared in his grip.
It was Excalibur.
However, unlike before, the moment Excalibur fell into Ethan's hand this time, it immediately resonated.
Cursed Technique Reversal had reversed the original "evil" into "good."
And while Ethan was in the "Flower of Good" state, Excalibur was naturally affected as well.
The original pitch-black demonic markings fell away little by little.
Replacing them was a shining golden radiance.
The sacred blade reflected a faint golden light.
The hilt and guard were decorated with deep blue.
The holy sword said to have been held by King Arthur in legend bloomed with its most dazzling light at this moment.
"So that is the true appearance of that holy sword? As expected, those who can wield holy swords are heroes. He is no exception."
When Hermes saw this scene, he thought exactly that.
So dazzling.
So sacred.
If this was not a hero, then what was?
Among the members of the Hermes Familia, Lulune was the most shocked.
After all, not long ago, she had said right in front of Ethan that this holy sword did not look like a holy sword at all.
Now she had been completely slapped in the face.
This holy sword absolutely lived up to the name of a holy sword.
"How interesting. Because my power reversed, Excalibur unexpectedly returned to its original appearance by coincidence. But this is fine too. As a savior, of course I should be radiant."
As he said this, Ethan's magical energy also began pouring into Excalibur.
This holy sword, standing at the peak of all holy swords, was finally about to release its true "light."
"Excalibur!"
Rumble—
Excalibur transformed its owner's magical energy into light.
Then, from the tip of the downward-swinging sword, that light was released like a beam and destroyed all things.
In the truest sense, it was a "beam cannon."
Everything in its path was utterly destroyed.
Rumble, rumble—
The scorpions scattered throughout the forest were all reduced to ash under the baptism of Excalibur's beam.
Only the scorpions around the camp remained.
Ethan had not dealt with them because he was afraid of affecting the people nearby.
And it was precisely because of this shocking scene that everyone was stunned.
Good grief.
This was Ethan's strength?
Was he really Lv.3?
No.
Rather, was he really an adventurer?
"What are you standing around for? Take this chance and finish off these monsters!"
Just as everyone was immersed in Ethan's overwhelming strength, Asfi shouted loudly at the others.
"Ah, right, right! I almost forgot the serious matter."
"We'll go now."
"Sorry, Captain. I'll move immediately."
"Little brother Ethan was just too strong. I was completely stunned."
"Who says otherwise…"
Only then did everyone react.
Then they all began to move, and everything started developing in a better direction.
"Ethan, my 'Orion,' my 'hunter,' I leave everything to you."
"Goddess Artemis, Wait for me to come back."
"All right. I'll wait for you. Under the moonlight, I will offer you the most beautiful 'Moon Goddess Dance.'"
"Good. I'll look forward to it."
Under Artemis's gaze, Ethan left.
His target was the pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
In front of Ethan, Artemis had forcefully endured the reluctance and sorrow in her heart.
She had given Ethan a promise that might never be fulfilled.
After Ethan left, Artemis seemed to lose all support and collapsed directly to the ground.
Her tears could no longer be held back.
They flowed down from her eyes.
Seeing the crying goddess, Sarah was immediately stunned.
She truly could not understand what exactly was going on.
Ethan had only just left, yet Artemis was already crying like this.
However, Sarah did not care.
Looking at the night sky before her, Sarah's heart was extremely excited.
Leaving the Dungeon, seeing the real sky and earth with her own eyes, and truly experiencing what the world was like was the greatest dream of all Xenos.
Now, Sarah had come to the surface.
Although the place was not exactly ideal, and under the beam cannon just now, this area had already turned into ruins, in Sarah's eyes, it was still "beautiful."
Swish—
On the other side, Ethan had already arrived at the ancient ruins.
However, to enter inside, he needed the power of the Moon Goddess to open the gate.
After all, the great spirits who built this place were followers of Artemis in ancient times.
That was how it had been in the original story.
But now, Artemis had not come over.
So what should he do with this gate?
Buzz—
Gate of Babylon opened.
Within a golden circle, along with a ripple, a "sword" appeared.
Inverted Spear of Heaven.
Once a Special Grade Cursed Tool, now an evil cursed tool.
After being strengthened by [All the World's Evil], its power was even greater than before.
"Break."
Boom—
It was only a gate with a "magical seal."
Before absolute strength, there was nothing that could not be opened.
Gulp, gulp—
As soon as Ethan entered, he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.
The interior was filled with things resembling tree roots and vines.
On the ceiling above, one squirming ball after another hung there.
All of these things were alive.
Plop—
Suddenly, one of the flesh balls opened.
Then something dropped to the ground.
Ethan looked carefully and saw that it was one of the scorpion monsters rampaging outside.
This strange scene made Ethan think of the images from Alien movies.
The alien eggs and facehuggers were simply too similar.
"Gem Magecraft: Flame."
Bang, bang, bang—
As one gem after another appeared, raging flames instantly erupted and burned everything here to ash.
So what if they were monster eggs?
He would burn them all away.
Whether they had hatched or not, it made no difference.
Rumble—
And that was not all.
Ethan put away Inverted Spear of Heaven and picked up Orion's Arrow, violently destroying everything here.
Tap, tap, tap—
Inside the dark passage, a moment later, his field of vision suddenly opened up, and light emerged.
After walking out of the passage, Ethan saw his target this time.
It was an enormous scorpion monster with a massive body and a strange, twisted form.
From various parts of its body, long "tubes" extended outward.
These were the passages it used to reproduce soldiers.
The monster eggs Ethan had destroyed on the way here, as well as those root-like things, had been created by it in this way.
