The number of monsters on Mount Olympus was increasing, and Walker was completely surrounded. He knew that the flying knife in his hand would be his last resort.
A single strike from it could destroy half of Mount Olympus, even if it didn’t harm the innocent. Moreover, Walker wanted to gain rich combat experience.
If he could solve all the monsters with just one throw of the knife, it wouldn’t provide much real experience for him.
William knew Walker’s temperament. Back during the Doors of Terror incident, Walker had already said he wouldn’t use the powerful flying knife. William was curious to see if Walker could stay true to himself.
Walker, having studied witchcraft under Moros and his body toughened by herbal concoctions, was extremely formidable. As long as he controlled the mutated creatures to attack in turns, Walker wouldn’t die.
“Mr. Johnson, will Walker really be okay? We need to hurry!” Amy, though timid and often bickering with Walker, was still worried about him.
She wanted to get to the base quickly for reinforcements.
“Amy, come down. Riding these wolves, the people at the base will be scared just by seeing us, and they won’t even open the gate.”
William knew very well that if they charged towards the base riding this pack of wolves, the people inside might launch an attack directly.
“These big dogs are so cute… why would they be scared?” Amy said this but still had the giant wolves stop.
“Oh? Really? Cute enough to almost make you pee your pants,” William said as he also dismounted from the wolf.
“I didn’t pee my pants,” Amy retorted with a flushed face, climbing down from the wolf’s back, and then took the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian from another giant wolf’s mouth.
“Yeah, yeah, you didn’t pee your pants,” William replied nonchalantly, walking slowly towards the Arcane Village base.
The Arcane Village base was the first post-apocalyptic base for humanity. At that time, it was also the headquarters of the 13th Bureau. Since the resurgence of energy, superhuman elites from various countries had gathered there.
Additionally, with the support of the Pantheon Academy, it was on par with Washington’s post-apocalyptic base as a level five facility, capable of handling attacks even from Demi-God level mutated creatures.
The metal walls of Arcane Village, towering over five hundred feet high, wrapped the village tightly.
Atop the walls, thousands of high-tech ray guns were aimed at William and Amy.
But soon, the gates opened directly, and a middle-aged man in metal armor walked out.
William recognized an old acquaintance, Wes Wenzel.
The former Deputy Director of the 13th Bureau had originally resigned to return to his own Guild after the resurgence of energy. However, when the world faced a major crisis, he chose to come back.
By this time, the 13th Bureau had been renamed, adopting a rather melodramatic new name.
“William! Amy! What brings you here?” Wes, now also a senior Soulmancer, wasn’t particularly strong, but he was certainly no weakling.
“Just sightseeing,” William quipped, raising an eyebrow. Since they had encountered an acquaintance, there was no need for any further identification.
“Sightseeing?” Wes gave Amy a deep look and said, “Is this some kind of training for Amy? But why did you come riding wolves?”
Indeed, William and Amy had dismounted from the giant wolves midway, but the Arcane Village base had already seen everything through satellite transmission.
This was why, when William and Amy arrived at the gates of the base, they were asked to show identification.
In these chaotic times, the most terrifying creatures were those that could take human form.
“You could say it’s a form of training. Walker is still behind us,” William mused. “But you don’t need to worry about him,he said he can handle it himself.”
“Is this also a training for Walker?” Wes Wenzel was one of the earliest members of the 13th Bureau and had been involved in capturing Walker, so he naturally recognized him.
“It’s mainly a training for Walker, but let’s not talk about him now. Let’s go inside,” William said, his face unflinching and calm.
Wasn’t Walker looking to hone his skills?
Come on then!
Let’s hone them together!
Amy stood to the side, looking blankly at William, blinked twice, and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Johnson, weren’t we here to call for reinforcements for Walker?”
They had rushed here so quickly, wasn’t it to seek help from the base?
“Reinforcements? What reinforcements?” William raised his hand and gently patted Amy’s head, saying, “Walker is so powerful, what need do we have for reinforcements? Who are you underestimating?”
“Um!” Amy pondered for a moment, glanced back in the direction where Walker was, and said, “You make a lot of sense.”
“Then let’s go inside the base and get something to eat,” William said, staring at Amy.
Hearing this, Amy nodded repeatedly, “I’ll follow your lead!” She then dragged the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian and walked forward.
At this time, Walker was drenched in sweat from exhaustion. He had just sheathed his flying knife after launching a full-force strike that sent a mutated tiger flying, when suddenly a monstrous bird with a wingspan of 30 feet swooped down at him.
He wondered if Amy and William were truly safe.
Thinking of Amy crying surrounded by wolves gave him a headache. Good grief, and she was ranked eleventh among the strongest humans.
And that William, he hadn’t faced any attacks just now…
Walker could never have guessed that William and Amy had gone straight to the base, and they were actually there to grab a bite to eat.
…
“William, how come you’re still a novice Soulmancer?” Wes led them into the base, then looked William over curiously and chuckled, “You’re not hiding your strength on purpose like Alice, are you?”
William nodded, “Maybe hiding just a little bit.”
Amy added, “I still remember Mr. Johnson once split a brick with his hand.”
Ah, that was a long time ago, probably a shock that lasted throughout Amy’s entire childhood.
“Splitting a brick…” Wes coughed lightly and asked William, “Do you know where Zoey is now?”
William shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Previously, Zoey had been taken to the Divine Realm by the sea god Poseidon and had since embarked on a path of trials. Additionally, it was clear that the entity William had expelled from his body had set its sights on Zoey.
William, for his part, hadn’t really wanted to interfere.
The entity he had expelled should harbor the same feelings towards Artemis.
Since Zoey was a reincarnation of Artemis, that entity wouldn’t harm her.
However, now that William had created a new Artemis, the relationships had become more tangled than ever.
“I haven’t seen Zoey for a few years either. I heard she was taken away by some deity,” Wes said, giving William a meaningful look. “I thought you might know.”
“I don’t,” William replied. “We’ve come a long way. Aren’t you going to offer us some hospitality?”
“I’ll treat you to some pasta.” Wes led William and the others into a public restaurant, where many people were staring at Amy and William.
Amy, the child who had previously participated in tests, was ranked eleventh in human combat strength, and many had seen her photo.
As for William, he was a celebrity known for being protected by women, an existence that made countless men envious. Their entrance into the base was bound to draw attention.
