Chapter 59: Departure and Confession (I)

After several twists and turns, the Radiant Academy organized a search team called the "Radiant Academy's Southern Historical Site Expedition Team", which was actually the "Apostolic Troupe Hades Mythical Gem Search Team".

The entire team is centered on the Apostolic Regiment, but the Radiant Academy has also sent personnel to join, forming a terrifying team that is not particularly famous, but the combat power is enough to make any country tremble.

Member of the Apostolic Order - The leader of the group and the part-time demon king Ulysses.

The deputy head and leader of the apostles - the messenger of the Book of the Demon King, Moia.

The First Apostle—Helen, who had just recovered from the period of insurrection.

Second Apostle – Arcelia.

Sixth Apostle - Mina, Seventh Apostle - Ifia and Her Guardian HerculesEighth Apostle - Mihalou Apostle - Tena Apostle - Sharon Magus - Rasputin Demon King's Maid Member - Maid Team Captain Shaye's Personal Maid - Pandora (Angela) Daily Maid Sara, Salad (Hydra Group) Cat Ear Maid - Remy (Kanai) Pet - Tourist Group of Sila Sophia:

The princess in the mountains and rivers - Victoria.

The ghost god on the battlefield - Leilu.

The Golden King - the little princess of Yuko Sophia, the king of Valhalla, and the dark bride of Ulysses - Fari.

Then there are the few people sent by the Radiant Academy, the Paladin of Light, Noah.

Theology Teacher - Yuffie Sword Teacher - Lana Student Representative - Senti In addition to this, there are also some people enthusiastically recommended by the Ana family, forming a team of about 100 people.

However, no matter how Ulysses looked, he felt that there was something wrong with this perfectly configured team.

What was wrong? Ulysses looked left and right, and looked through the entire team from beginning to end.

In terms of class configuration, this team is absolutely perfect, from life classes to support classes, from combatants to support personnel. Among them, the lowest level of the combat class is also level six, and the lowest level of the life class is also the master level.

It can be said that each of them is the elite of the elite, and it is definitely not a vase that is useless. It can be seen that they have all undergone special training, and even the maids who join temporarily have an extraordinary aristocratic demeanor.

After looking at it ten times, Ulysses finally knew what was wrong!

This whole team, with the exception of him and Hercules, was actually composed of all women, and all of them were energetic and youthful women, ranging from cute girls to mature beauties, and included women of all races and regions.

In it, he even saw a real bewitch who looked like a half-blood, but with pointed ears and a petite body, just like the beautiful goblins imagined in fairy tales.

No, it's not the time to think about this! This kind of situation, no matter how you think about it! How can anyone organize a team like this, those who know understand that this is the academic expedition team of the Glorious Academy to the south, and those who don't know think that the lustful and shameless emperor is traveling with his own harem!

Unfortunately, by the time Ulysses realized this, the team, with its disparity in male and female ratios, was already ready to go in the square in front of the Radiant Academy.

"This is a meaningful extracurricular activity with high academic value, and as a member of the historic Shining Academy......" On the podium in front of the square, the dean of the college was giving what he thought was an exciting speech, inspiring the team that was only going to the southern region.

Even in the history of Radiant Academy, such a large-scale academic expedition is rare. After all, the Southern Church Region is not a diocese under the direct control of the Supreme Church, but a semi-autonomous region with a high degree of independence.

At this time, the dispatch of an academic expedition of the Radiance College to the Southern Diocese was seen by many as an action of historic significance. It can be said that from the very beginning, many people had all kinds of hopes for this operation.

However, probably not many people know that this special team was built for one person from the very beginning, and was called up for the desire of one person.

Who this person is, just look at the direction of the girls in this group—it won't be the old man on the podium, of course, but some young man in black in the center of the line.

And at this time, a teenager is having a headache for this extremely unbalanced gender team.

However, no matter how much Ulysses was troubled by the disparity between men and women, it was already an established thing, and he could not change it.

As for how this girl's long-lived team is formed, I have to ask a certain little devil who always likes to worry about his master's sexual well-being, and a certain family elder who is crazy with the direct descendants of the Pan family.

............ The beginning of a new day also heralds the beginning of a new beginning. Staring at the sky in the distance, the purple and red clouds are showing up little by little, like a graceful girl, standing up and shy and happy.

Behind the clouds, the golden sun shyly showed a face, the sun shone on this snow-white earth, and in an instant everything was clothed in a layer of golden clothes.

This is the third day that the "Radiant Academy Southern Historical Site Expedition" has left the Radiant City, although it is almost spring, but because of the December when the terrible angel was absent not long ago, the entire northern continent has not yet been liberated from the cold of the ice and snow.

At a glance, the ground was still snow-white, and only occasionally a few small animals looked curiously at this rare human team behind the bushes, and they didn't look scared at all.

"Silas, is this really caused by the wind blowing from Mom?" In the carriage, which was as luxurious as a small palace, Ulysses learned a terrible truth.

That is, the source of this super blizzard that made the people of the entire northern continent freeze so much that they wanted to burrow into the ground was his respectable and lovely ice phoenix mother.

"That's right, Lord Ice Phoenix can't see you, so that's how it turned out. Little Silas lay lazily in Ulysses' arms, doing his duty as a pet, and from time to time stretched out his little hand to grab him once or twice.

After being like this for a long time, it seems that not only the body size, but also the intelligence has returned to the state of a juvenile body a little. However, it seems that this is not bad, because it can lie in the arms of a lovely little lady in the open.

It's just, I don't know why, it seems that I can feel some kind of special murderous aura.

"Gah!" the metal cup next to Helen's right hand was twisted and deformed by an invisible force. In less than a second, the beautifully carved cup, which you knew was a master's work at first glance, turned into a small ball the size of a finger.

Then Helen casually ate the ball, the first cup she had eaten to-day, and she couldn't remember it.

"Hey, hey. Silas, lying in Ulysses' arms, winked at Helen, who was sitting motionless, and let out a happy laugh.

"Quack!" Helen's hand trembled slightly, this time with a metal charm on the top of the carriage compressed. This terrifying compressive power was a byproduct of her awakening to the power of the leylines.

In fact, she now had the urge to compress the Xiaoice charm in Ulysses's arms into a cookie and eat it.

This impulse has not diminished with the passage of time, but has become more and more high.

As a consequence, the maid who came to clean the carriage every day was surprised to find that some small things were missing. From cups to flasks, from ornaments to plates, it's as if an invisible thief has stolen them.

"The rest camp has arrived!" at the front of the line, a loud command sounded.

Ultra-long treks are different from short-term burst advances and require the cooperation of the whole team. So even if Ulysses can indeed use light wings to fly at high speeds, it is not easy for him to search for the mythical gems of Hades, and the more helpers he can do in this kind of large-scale search, the better.

Moreover, if he runs away to the southern tribal areas alone, I am afraid that Helen will be completely out of control again. What will happen to Helen now when she gets out of control, Ulysses just listens to her recent record, which is the terrible violence that has knocked out the legendary archmage, Rathputin's grandfather.

So, this time, it's the concerted action of the entire Apostolic Regiment and the Radiant Academy.

The power of collective action is especially evident when traveling.

Stepping out of his ultra-luxurious palace-style carriage, Ulysses saw a lush meadow.

Under normal circumstances, of course, there is no such grass in this icy and snowy land, but the power of magic is omnipotent, and in this special team, there are not only magicians who can dispel all ice and snow in a very short time, but also goblins that can make plants grow instantly.

The result of the full efforts of these girls who joined the team was the beautiful scenery that Ulysses saw at this moment.

A meadow full of life like spring, a lively stream, the water of which flows from one end of the mountain and the other end. The stream is unpolluted, the water is transparent, and it flows happily all the way, knocking on the rocks and making a crisp sound in the ears.

The effect of the magic continued, and in the few steps that Ulysses had taken off from the carriage, a few flower bones had bloomed on the meadow.

Roses, orchids, lilies, flowers that could not have appeared in this season and this place, under the power of natural magic, began to compete with each other, and even the temperature of the air began to rise, allowing them to bloom more happily.

"How's that, the power of our magic group. Rustine, who led the magicians in creating this resting place in a short time, puffed out his chest to Ulysses, his face full of pride.

"It's really remarkable. "Even if he has the power of the Demon King now, Ulysses can't make the flowers bloom so beautifully, it takes not only magic, but also love for nature.

"Don't underestimate us magicians, the power of magic is the power that can really change everything, and there will be bigger surprises for you later!" Rustine left confidently.

Even in this talented team, when it comes to pure magical attainments, she is still a well-deserved first-day talent. And leading the entire magic team to change the environment is also an unprecedented novel experience for her.

"Meow! Kana happily waved the handkerchief in his hand, with the full assistance of the Ana family, the Demon King maid team of the original Apostle Regiment has been greatly expanded, from the original five people directly multiplied several times.

Of course, the maids who have recently been added to the new supplement are all genuine elite maids, not stupid people like a certain big snake who is lazy and can't even fry a poached egg.

Even preparing food for a hundred people is a breeze for the current maid team. But of course, there are special foods in it.

"Quick, quick, this is the master's main supper tonight. Kana quietly pulled out a whip from the secret food storehouse.

"Ahh......h

"I know, I know, I've seen it in the Ingredient Encyclopedia. ”

"It's a tough one, so we have to be careful and make sure we keep all the nutrients in it. ”

"That's right, meow! make the best super tonic soup!" "Kana, the head chef of the maid team, wagged her tail and began to lead her maids to prepare a special soup for Ulysses wholeheartedly.

At this time, Ulysses was sitting alone on a bluestone at the end of the magically thawed stream, far away from the group.

He was waiting for someone, someone who was important to him.

I could hear the energetic voices of the girls in the team on the other side of the mountain, and the slightly cold wind was blowing from afar, making people feel a lot more sober in their minds.

The steady and rhythmic footsteps came from the other side of the stream, the familiar footsteps of Ulysses, the footsteps that would not be messed up at any time.

"Arcelia!" Ulysses stood up, looking at her as she just walked around the corner.

Today, as usual, she also wore her hair coiled and wearing steel armor. Although she couldn't see it, the sword that was hidden by the force of the wind was at her waist, allowing her to fight anytime and anywhere.

Although this was the first date that Ulysses took the initiative to initiate to her, her eyes were very calm when she went to the appointment, and she could not see the slightest wavering.

"What's the matter?" seemed to Arcelia, the word dating never existed in her mind. So when Yuri Sistt asked her to come to this secluded place alone, she didn't feel anything special.

Those emerald eyes are just as stable and beautiful today.

"I ......," Ulysses opened his mouth, only to find himself suddenly unable to say anything.

Obviously he has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has seen Arcelia's past with his own eyes, and knows the sorrow she has carried, and the misfortune she has experienced.

So want to do something for her, at least want to talk to her.

However, when he actually saw Arcelia, Ulysses felt that it was all superfluous.

No matter what happened in the past and how much misfortune she suffered, Arcelia was still Arcelia, and unlike him, who was so painful that she once took the initiative to throw away her memories, she must have accepted it all.

That's why she was able to comfort him like that, telling him how to face his uneasy heart and let him come out of the darkness.

"I want to practice with you one more time. The words of comfort that had been prepared long ago, the sincere outpouring of heart, finally became such a sentence that even Ulysses himself felt stupid.

"Good, looks like you're getting stronger again. "Arcelia did not doubt Ulysses' purpose, because Ulysses' swordsmanship had indeed surprised her more and more recently.

Ulysses himself may not have noticed the terrible growth rate, but as the opponent who had practiced with him the most times, Arcelia knew his changes better than anyone else.

In the past, Ulysses's biggest advantage was his fast sword and super explosive power, and the ability from the infinite ** realm allowed him to cast an extraordinary high-speed sword.

Once the sword speed reaches a certain level, it is equivalent to absolute strength, and it can almost ignore the power of the opponent's moves. Even with this attack, Ulysses is qualified enough to be a first-class swordsman.

However, Ulysses has now surpassed that stage, and his sword is no longer only "fast", but also "stable" on the basis of that.

Stable, accurately know the direction of each sword swing, and maintain your center of gravity while swinging the sword quickly. If Ulysses's sword used to be like a gust of wind blowing by, now his sword is a spiral storm that can lock the opponent to death and cut it to pieces.

Alas, why did it become like this, obviously I wanted to talk about Arcelia's past...... Ulysses summoned the abyss to judge the guilt, and shook his head a little hate himself for being too clumsy.

However, regret is regret, when the abyssal judgment came to his hand, when the opponent's Arcelia raised the invisible sword in her hand, Ulysses's spirit began to be highly concentrated.

Everything around seemed to disappear, only the sound of the wind, the flow of water, the sound of falling leaves, and slowly, these sounds also disappeared one by one, leaving only the sound of their own heartbeat.

Forgetting everything around you and leaving only the sword in your hand in the world is one of the swordsmanship that Artelia once taught Ulysses.

However, this is not a basic sword skill, but something that can only be naturally comprehended after the sword skill level reaches a certain advanced realm.

"Drink!" With the soft sound of the invisible sword in Arcelia's hand, the battle between the two began.

Ordinary human eyes can no longer see the movements of the two of them at all, and can only see the footprints on the ground, the traces of the water of the stream, and the sparks flashing in the air.

Like a waterfowl slicing through the air, Ulysses tapped his toes on the ground, and then swung dozens of crescent-like sword qi, locking all the escape routes of Arcelia who was shocked into the air by him.

The wind blew, not a breeze, but a storm from the mountains, cutting steel, and Arcelia's whole person turned into a streamer, shattering Ulysses's sword qi at the same time, and continuously hitting the abyss in his hand to judge the crime.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Ulysses took seven steps back in a row to counteract the stormy onslaught of Arcelia.

With a flip of his wrist, Ulysses used all his strength to create eight huge air locks.

This is the Eight Directions Desolate Dragon Lock in the Dragon Killing Destruction Sword Style, which is specially used to deal with flexible enemies.

However, Arcelia's figure was faster than the eight dragon locks, so fast that even Ulysses couldn't react.

Before the eight dragon locks could be extended to their maximum length, they were all severed by the invisible sword in Arcelia's hand, and then Ulysses ate Alcelia's full wind blast.

An invisible compressed air bomb exploded at Ulysses' feet, sending him flying into the sky.

Then, the steel streamer of Arcelia's avatar flashed again.

"Ding, ding, ding!" Seven crisp sounds in a row, Ulysses once again tried the frustration of being completely suppressed and unable to perform his best moves.

This is the most likely scenario in the practice between him and Arcelia. Although he surpassed Arcelia in terms of power, explosiveness, and even type of moves, Arcelia only needed to use the simplest of these moves to combine combos that would make him overwhelmed.

The gap between the two sides was even greater than he had thought before, and the stronger his sword practiced, the more he could feel the difference.

Ordinary human eyes can no longer see the movements of the two of them at all, and can only see the footprints on the ground, the traces of the water of the stream, and the sparks flashing in the air.
