Hunted by Characters I Drew!!

The world of Godslayer is a truly mystical place. In this world, humans can become Campione by killing gods and acquiring their powers—a concept that was once all the rage.

At this moment, on a vast plain, two figures, one large and one small, descended.

"Athena-chan, this is your world," Alexander said, looking at the small figure beside him. The little girl nodded, acknowledging his words.

"Yes, this is my world, but… please don't call me Athena-chan. I've lived for thousands of years," she responded, clearly displeased with the title. After all, she had been around far longer than Alexander.

However, Alexander couldn't help but tease her. "What's wrong with being a cute little loli who wants to be an elegant lady? You can't fight it."

He reached out and gently patted Athena's head. She wanted to dodge, but for some reason, she didn't. As Alexander's hand softly stroked her hair, the little girl even closed her eyes and seemed to enjoy the moment, looking every bit like the adorable girl next door.

It seemed the old adage was true: head pats really do work wonders on little girls.

"Alright then, let's go find your serpent," Alexander said, glancing at Athena. "Where do you think it is right now?"

"I'm not sure. It's probably sealed away, but if we go by the anime, it should be in Erica's hands," Athena replied.

"No, you're thinking too simply. It should be in Rome by now. Let's go check it out," Alexander suggested. With that, he grabbed Athena and took off toward their target. As they flew, Alexander turned to her and asked, "By the way, Athena, what do you think would happen if I killed a god in this world? Would I become a Godslayer?"

Hearing this, Athena's face turned pale, and she wrapped her slender arms around herself in alarm. "Alexander, you wouldn't..."

"Relax, I'm not planning to kill you," Alexander reassured her. "I'm thinking of killing a couple of other disobedient gods. For example, in the original story, that guy Melqart. We could experiment with him."

Alexander was genuinely curious. The powers of gods were quite useful, after all. Take Melqart, who fought against the God of War Verethragna. He was not only the god of storms but also the god of the sea and the sun. He ruled over life, harvest, and desolation.

He could summon winds strong enough to obliterate entire cities, raise armies of the dead from the underworld, conjure tsunamis, and unleash thousands of thunderbolts from the heavens. His weapons, Yagrush and Aymur, represented exile and repulsion, respectively. Melqart used these to dethrone Yam the Dragon King, becoming the God-King himself.

God Slayers usually gained one or more abilities from the gods they defeated. If Alexander could obtain Melqart's power—the ability to summon wind, rain, thunder, and lightning—could he enhance his super electromagnetic gun even further? And if he acquired the power of the sun, what then?

The thought excited Alexander. He looked at Athena and said, "Come on, let's take a walk. If I could really become a Godslayer, it would be very interesting. Besides, I've come all this way, and it would be a shame to leave without some souvenirs."

Athena was left speechless by Alexander's words. 'Is it really okay to talk about killing gods in front of a goddess?' 'And referring to the powers of a slain god as a souvenir? In your eyes, is Godslaying just a way to collect local products?'

Despite her exasperation, Athena realized that Melqart had nothing to do with her. 'Fine, let him go ahead and kill Melqart,' she thought.

With that, Athena and Alexander changed their course and flew toward Sardinia, where the battle between the two disobedient gods was about to begin.
