Chapter 1014: Chapter 6: Magic Guide Holy Grail; Personal Identity_2

Erica’s face inevitably quickly lost its color, her lips turning slightly pale.

However, her eyes were shining brightly, as if light was flickering in them, and there was no longer any hesitation, replaced instead by unparalleled determination and resolve.

"It’s rare... to be able to stand before me once again."

Athena calmly glanced around, raising her eyebrows slightly. Unlike Amelinda and others coming through the teleportation gate, her gaze remained fixed on Erica. The young girl, clad in a red battle dress, stood silently there, fearlessly meeting her eyes.

As a War Goddess also in Greek Mythology, Athena naturally admired those who fought staking their lives.

"That’s only natural. If I shrink back now, I’d never forgive myself for the rest of my life..."

The beautiful blonde witch holding the Demon Sword Lion King’s Heart also began to smile. Despite her complexion being slightly pale, her expression was unusually firm, her eyes equally filled with resolve.

Not only had Amilia gained immensely in the past half month, regaining her power...

The knightess herself also had enormous gains, so great that it shocked even her uncle.

This highest commander of the Red Copper Black Cross, a man with the highest knightly rank, originally thought that during this outing, his overly proud niece, unaware of how high the sky was, would receive enough setbacks to feel demoralized for some time.

However—

The young girl held a firm spirit within her, and after returning to Italy, she swiftly utilized her authority, mobilized the organization’s resources, dispatched association magicians, sent personnel to collect intelligence. Problems that could be solved with money were resolved with funds, and assistance that could be sought through connections was decisively acted upon...

Ultimately, she acted as rapidly as possible, relying on the magic association’s intelligence network, searching the world for traces of Athena and Gu Mo.

In addition, she diligently read those ancient Demon Dao Scriptures, speculated on mythology regarding Athena, formulated the next battle plan, attempted to recruit more allies... she and Amilia even found ways to go to satellite orbit to search for the King of the End’s Iron Sword.

She did not deny her powerlessness and also confronted her own weakness, but this did not stop her from challenging as a knight, she would absolutely not easily admit defeat.

Defeats there were, blows certainly as well...

Whether it be humiliation or despair, she had already tasted them...

The self-esteem of the genius witch had been shattered once in the face of divine power...

Yet none of this mattered. When Erica completely surpassed her own limits, confronting the Defiant Gods with her resolve and determination, it could be said that from that moment she had finished her tempering, stepping onto a completely different path.

Aside from Amelinda and members of two warrior groups, there was a man with a sculpturally correct face, filled with intelligence and temperament, whose stature could be likened to David’s statue, a rather perfectly powerful knight.

——It was Erica’s uncle.

Faced with his niece’s circumstances, he could not, in good conscience or reasoning, just ignore them. Though confronting the threat of Defiant Gods was immense, he, as the magic commander, could not, for personal gain, summon association members to sacrifice themselves, but coming himself was no problem.

Actually, this lineup was already very luxurious.

Paul originally felt it was risky, yet after coming through the teleportation gate and swiftly surveying the scene, he couldn’t help but reveal a shocked expression before unabashedly showing satisfaction.

His niece had truly grown this time...

And she had met so many like-minded companions...

This was the most precious growth.

"You truly have courage... I must say I admire you somewhat, it’s just a pity you’re risking your lives for such a guy, which is truly not worthwhile."

Athena, for some reason, seemed very calm. She coldly surveyed the newly arrived reinforcements.

Then her gaze shifted, returning to a certain shameless man who needed protection from women, and suddenly, she laughed unexpectedly: "Do you think just because I appear like this, I have no way? That’s too naive... No one can stop me from taking back what’s mine!"

"You...?!"

Amilia raised an eyebrow, instantly becoming alert.

Unexpectedly, however, the goddess opposite didn’t choose to attack, nor did she unleash any seemingly world-ending, immensely powerful big move.

She merely waved her hand gently, and a golden urn suddenly appeared beside her.

——It was exactly the Magic Guide Holy Grail.

"I am the Goddess of Wisdom possessing various insights. How could I not grasp the workings of the Holy Grail over the span of half a month?"

Athena scoffed disdainfully, while her face also revealed a subtle smile, showing no signs of the previous anger and irritation, replaced with complete ridicule, as if she was close to writing on her face that she had been acting.

"Now let me repay you: thinking you’ve successfully escaped a crisis, only to find you can’t change your fate no matter what—this taste will surely be unforgettable even if you return to mythology..."
