Chapter 881 – 881. God’S Atlantis
I returned to the world of Atlantis.
After going back to reality, I settled my points from the game app and raised my marksmanship trait to level 9, but I still felt uneasy.
Artemis is the goddess of archery. A god wouldn’t be a god for no reason.
I summoned a water bottle into my hand. Artemis frowned as she looked at me.
“What is that?”
I didn’t think she’d even pay attention, but surprisingly, she asked right away. That also meant that Artemis was wary of me.
“It’s water with Yet powder.”
“Yet powder?”
“It’s a mystical powder that makes your senses more acute. You don’t think it’s cheating just because I’m drinking this, do you?”
“Do you think you can beat me just by making your senses more acute? How foolish.”
Artemis spoke arrogantly. It seemed she had already forgotten that she had lost to me in a running race. Or perhaps she didn’t want to remember.
‘She has absolute confidence in her archery. I look forward to seeing her proud nose crumble.’
Whether I use an item with special abilities, receive help from a contracted divine seat, or dope with drugs, it’s not cheating. It’s all recognized as part of my abilities. If I wasn’t capable, I wouldn’t have been able to obtain special items or contract with a divine seat.
Besides, nitpicking over every little thing would damage her dignity as a god. They were born superior to humans and have lived for eons, incomparable to humans. Their pride is beyond imagination.
Gulp, gulp.
I drank the water mixed with Yet powder. My senses became even more acute. I could feel the wind blowing from afar even better.
After that, Artemis and I each stood in a comfortable position. It was a position that wasn’t greatly affected by the wind.
As I held the bow in my hand, an alert window popped up.
「The first target will be summoned.」
「The duel will begin in 10 seconds.」
「10. 9. 8.」
Artemis drew her bowstring. Just by doing that, an arrow was automatically generated and placed on the string. An arrow appears simply by drawing the bow. Time-wise, she had the advantage.
I also drew my bowstring. The arrow appeared about 1-2 seconds later than Artemis’s. This arrow was a clone arrow of Stormbreaker.
I poured mana into the arrow, hoping it would fly faster and more accurately. Crackle. Lightning flashed from the arrow. Astrape (B) worked on arrows as well.
Unlike my flashy arrow, Artemis’s arrow glowed softly like moonlight.
I stared at the target board that appeared in the air. A 10m target. The important thing was to hit the center and score 10 points.
「3. 2. 1.」
Artemis and I released our bowstrings at the same time. The arrows shot out. Was it because I imbued Astrape into the arrow? The arrow I shot was a little faster.
Glance.
I saw Artemis’s lips tremble.
「The target board has been hit. 10 points.」
「Your current score is 10 points.」
「The second target board will be summoned. The distance is 50m.」
I was the first to hit the first target board, but Artemis was faster at shooting the second arrow. Unlike me, who had to concentrate to create a clone arrow, she automatically generated an arrow just by drawing her bowstring.
「The target board has been hit. 10 points.」
「Your current score is 20 points.」
「The third target board will be summoned. The distance is 150m.」
The gap was widening. Artemis was faster. A sense of impatience washed over me. A bad feeling that I might lose this duel arose.
‘…No. It’s still early. The important thing is the latter half. That’s when Artemis will reach her limit.’
Artemis’s stats are the same as mine. I mustn’t overlook that fact.
And if we’re just talking about arrow speed, I’m faster. That means I have the advantage as the target board gets farther away.
「The target board has been hit. 10 points.」
「Your current score is 30 points.」
「The fourth target board will be summoned. The distance is 300m.」
I hit the 20th target board without difficulty.
Artemis was at the 22nd target board. She bit her lip tightly. She forced the arrow’s speed by using more mana.
I could feel her getting tired. At the same time, she was feeling the same impatience I had felt at the beginning. I understood. She was also the goddess of archery. She must be feeling a pressure beyond what I could imagine.
「The target board has been hit. 10 points.」
「Your current score is 210 points.」
「The twenty-second target board will be summoned. The distance is 4km.」
I needed to concentrate a little more from now on. I couldn’t ignore the wind blowing just with strength alone. However, I could intuitively feel the wind. It was probably due to the influence of my marksmanship trait.
Crackling!
‘A little more… I need to put a little more power into it. That way, it’ll reach farther.’
「Astrape (B)’s proficiency is outstanding!」
「Astrape’s rank has increased from B to A.」
「Astrape
You can imbue your weapon with the power of lightning.
Type: Divine Seat Skill
Rank: A」
It was an unexpected achievement. As Astrape’s rank increased, I felt much more at ease. The power contained in the arrow also became stronger.
I released the bowstring.
The arrow, flying straight like lightning, was much faster than before.
•••
“No…!”
Artemis’s mournful voice reached my ears.
It was because she had made a mistake at the 29th target board. The arrow didn’t hit the center of the target board and slightly missed to the side, hitting 8 points.
「The target board has been hit. 10 points.」
「Your current score is 290 points.」
「The thirtieth target board will be summoned. The distance is 10km.」
Artemis and I simultaneously nocked our arrows. Artemis’s mistake wasn’t a big one. This was a speed run. The one who hits all thirty targets first out of the two of us gets an additional score. That additional score is 10 points. It was more than enough to make up for the mistake Artemis had made.
‘But Artemis’s mentality is already shaken enough by that mistake.’
Artemis and I heightened our concentration. We maximized the vision of our eyes using mana. It was different from the beginning when we were just shooting arrows. We needed preparation to hit a target board 15km away.
‘Heh heh. I have a good skill for times like this. Moment.’
The world slowed down.
In the slowed world, I adjusted the angle of the bow and shot the arrow. Rumble! The arrow was shot with thunder.
Artemis shot her arrow a beat later. The arrow made of moonlight drew a faint trajectory of light as it shot forward.
She already sensed her defeat. But she watched the arrow with a glimmer of hope. However, the miracle she wanted didn’t happen.
「The target board has been hit. 8 points.」
「Your current score is 298 points.」
「You have hit all the targets faster than your opponent. You have won the speed run.」
「You have gained an additional 10 points.」
「Total 308 points. You are 10 points ahead of your opponent. You have won the duel.」
“Yessssss!”
I shouted with joy and jumped up and down on the spot. I didn’t bother hiding the overwhelming emotion of victory. Of course, I also had the intention of provoking Artemis. If I shook her mentality now, I would have the advantage in the next duel.
“……”
But despite my efforts, Artemis didn’t react. She was frozen like a stone statue, staring blankly at where the target board had been. The shock of defeat she felt seemed to be greater than I had thought.
‘Well, yeah. The so-called goddess of archery lost to me. Heh heh.’
She had lost to a human in her most confident field. If I were Artemis, I would have gone crazy.
“Hehehe. It’s time to taste the spoils of war!”
I approached the nymph who was tied up with ropes behind me. The nymph with bright blonde hair trembled. She couldn’t escape. The system wouldn’t allow it. I had won the duel against Artemis, so it was justified for me to violate her.
“Ah, aaaaaaah!”
I tore her clothes and buried my face in her heaving, voluptuous breasts. Her breasts were soft, and her flesh smelled sweet. After indulging in her breasts for a while, I took out my penis from my pants and thrust it into her pussy.
“Huuuuck! Lady Artemis!!”
The nymph called out to Artemis with a grimace. Artemis, who had been standing blankly, reacted. She turned her head and looked this way. Artemis’s face contorted. But Artemis couldn’t do anything.
Thud! Thud! Thwack!
I shook my hips and enjoyed the nymph’s pussy.
“Haaaaaack! Lady Artemis…! P-Please, save me! Aaaaaaah!”
But Artemis couldn’t do anything.
As time passed, wet moans flowed from the nymph’s mouth instead of screams.
“Ugh, ah! N-No…! Haaang!”
Artemis clenched her fists and trembled with rage.
•••
I propose the third duel.
“I propose fishing. The rules of fishing will follow the fishing competition that was held last time…. You get points every time you catch a fish. The fishing time is 1 hour. The one with more points wins. Surely, the goddess of the hunt doesn’t hate fishing, does she?”
“…I accept your proposal. However, interfering with the other person is prohibited.”
I stared intently at Artemis. Artemis didn’t avoid my gaze as if asking what was wrong.
Even though she knew that her attendant had just been violated by me, Artemis was calm. She maintained a cold composure. I didn’t know what kind of change had occurred in her mind.
With the power of the system, we moved from the mountaintop to the river.
Artemis and I held our fishing rods.
My fishing rod was Stormbreaker. Stormbreaker could change its form into a fishing rod. There was no chance of the fishing line breaking. Of course, the fishing hook was the hook of seduction.
Artemis’s fishing rod was a fishing rod with a faint moonlight. It didn’t look like an ordinary fishing rod, so I was wary, but in the end, I would be the one to win.
「The time limit for the fishing duel is 1 hour.」
「The fishing duel will begin in 10 seconds.」
「10. 9. 8.」
I found a suitable spot. I was under the shade of a large tree, and Artemis was located about 5m away from me.
「3. 2. 1.」
Splash.
The float fell into the river.
Less than a minute later, a signal came. Not only to me but also to Artemis. We pulled our fishing rods almost simultaneously. What I caught was a crucian carp the size of my forearm, and what Artemis caught was a crayfish of a similar size.
‘The fact that our stats have been equalized means that my luck and Artemis’s luck are the same. That means I could lose if I fish normally.’
「You have caught a crucian carp. You have gained 3 points.」
I probably had a lower score. The crayfish looked rarer than the crucian carp.
Artemis was ahead of me, but I wasn’t worried at all. I had the hook of seduction.
As soon as I used the effect of the hook of seduction, the float moved. The force pulling the fishing rod was unusual. A chicken was caught.
「You have caught a water chicken. You have gained 11 points.」
“Tch.”
It was Artemis. She stared at the water chicken I had caught with a resentful expression before concentrating on fishing.
And the limited 1 hour passed.
There were no surprises.
I was the winner of the fishing duel.
「Total 195 points. You are 48 points ahead of your opponent. You have won the duel.」
The system calmly announced the winner. I grinned from ear to ear.
“Hehehehehe!”
“……”
Artemis didn’t react. She didn’t even show anger.
I violated the nymph in front of Artemis.
“The chastity I’ve protected…! My chastity is being taken away in front of Lady Artemis…!”
“……”
Artemis was silent.
I realized. Artemis probably cared more about this duel itself than the chastity of her attendants. After losing to a human three times in a row, her authority was already as good as gone. And the nymphs were just prestige, not her main body.
“Artemis. Look at your attendant’s pussy. It’s completely soaked. And my dick is so tight…. Don’t you think it’s a waste for a woman like this to swear chastity?”
“Don’t insult my attendant!”
“I’m really looking forward to fucking you.”
“Shut up, you vulgar thing. You will never win again from now on.”
I violated the nymph for an hour and proceeded to the fourth duel.
