Chapter 29

“The instance is almost stable.” Circe stood in the pit of the arena with the other three branch leaders and a few of their closest followers.

“Less than an hour if our guess is correct,” Zeus added.

But as they watched, the instance suddenly flashed a new update.

Circe’s eyes narrowed.

“They completed it?” Hercules gasped. “Impossible. From our talks with Galen and Zane, the instance had become far too difficult.”

“Bran,” Circe breathed. “Bran must have finished it himself.”

Even as they spoke, a first person appeared from the portal.

It was Zane, stepping out. “Ah. Thank you for completing it, Ancestor.” He immediately bowed to Zeus in misunderstanding as more and more of the initiates started appearing.

“Out of the way.” Zeus was at least quick in his thinking and dropped down a pile of loot. “Archy, the ladies.”

One of Zeus’ men shot away only to return with several dazzlingly beautiful women who only shined brighter on the gold. The women got into position, clearly an offering for Bran.

“Ha.” Hercules laughed and picked up an SSS-ranked sword, stabbing it into the ground in front of him before mounting a set of SSS-ranked armor on top of it. “It seems he’s a man of combat. Those things won’t tempt him.”

Circe turned to look at Simone, who only shrugged. Circe was going to feel like a fool offering this, but still, it was the best chance she had.

“What’s happening?” Galen asked.

“Move out of the way,” Zeus barked.

Persephone just tutted and watched on at the display while swinging her flower around. “You fools. What are you doing over this initiate? You should be making him beg to join you.”

“Just because you didn’t bring anything doesn’t mean that we can’t try and win him over,” Hercules argued.

“Did you forget? I have his mother.” Persephone smiled.

Everyone was looking towards the portal when a monster came out. She had a serpentine body, as well as her hair turned into snakes.

The snake hair reared back with everyone staring at her.

“Uh. Let me just step aside.” Nyx Heros twisted her serpentine lower half to get out from in front of the instance portal.

“Girl. Did you clear the instance?” Persephone asked.

“No. Well, I was with Bran. I just ran around shooting monsters and bringing them to him.” She glanced down at her non-existent legs. “Slithered around,” she corrected herself.

Circe could almost feel Simone giving the woman a once-over beside her. Circe realized Simone might be getting jealous, and that would not go over well.

“Pleasure to meet you.” Simone smiled. “Will Bran be long?”

“Oh. OH. You’re Simone. You’re so beautiful.” Nyx gasped. “I think he’ll be out in a minute. He was just looking over something.”

I closed the panel with a smile. We had been really racing against the clock, and I’d been ignoring the prompts. Crossing Level 100 got me a new skill. At first, skills came every five levels, but after that, they only came at larger progress points.
