Athena learned that Scarlett's team was having a mission to check an island. She decided to follow them, after all, she had her reasons too.
However, because Athena couldn't use teleportation, she decided to use a speed boat instead. The travel was quite hectic, some monsters showed up along the way, but Athena was known for being a talented woman.
She became a 2nd Advance through talent alone, she didn't use a dick to break through. She was 25 years old, sexy, and mature, she even have courtiers who pursued her. But Athena denied all of them. Since young, she already decided to she would serve Scarlett no matter what. So any romance was nothing but a distraction.
"This is the island."
Athena muttered after killing a bunch of monsters that blocked her way. Her metal bat was covered with blood, she washed it using the sea.
However, just as she spent a few seconds cleaning her metal bat, she found that the island started crumbling.
"Huh?"
On top of that, Athena felt something dangerous under the sea. She started sweating, even a talented woman like her could never defeat something as powerful as that. She was frightened, her hands trembled.
"A Demon-God…"
Thankfully, the creature swam away and left her and the others.
"It just destroyed an island like that."
She bit her lip. She couldn't believe that something as powerful as that was lying under this ocean.
"… I have to check the island."
Athena wanted to confirm if Scarlett was fine. Athena didn't care about the others as long as her Master was in good health.
Yet just as she speed up her boat, hordes of Shokoys pounced on the boat to attack her.
"Weaklings. You shouldn't have shown up."
She clicked her tongue and killed them without a problem. Then, she returned her focus to the broken island.
"What?"
She found that Calix was carrying the tall new recruit. Maybe they were left behind.
"What is he doing?"
Calix started taking her clothes off. He pulled the needles that paralyzed Nikki. Athena nodded, that was the first procedure to prevent paralyzing.
'At least Calix has enough knowledge about this. W- wait, what the hell is he doing!!?'
However, out of Athena's expectation, Calix kissed Nikki as if he didn't have a choice but to do so. He even fondled her breast. Athena's expression turned livid. This guy has the audacity to pull that off in the middle of this situation.
The rest was history.
………
……
…
"We will talk after this."
Athena glared at him. Calix nodded his head. He knew that Athena was half-curious and half-mad. But Calix had to do it, or else Nikki would die. There was no antidote against the paralytic substance that Umibozos released, except for waiting. And Calix didn't have the leisure to wait, he knew that monsters were going to kill them if they lay still.
"I will explain everything so you don't have to look at me like that."
Calix understood that hiding his secret would only make Athena suspicious. Besides, Athena was never a bad guy. She was just highly loyal to Scarlett.
"So let's kill this Kraken first… I'm actually amazed that you have a weapon that can wound this creature. Maybe you got lucky."
Even Athena would have a hard time fighting a Kraken.
"Thanks, it's a magnificent gun, isn't it?"
"Indeed."
Calix did nothing but bombarded the Kraken till the monster ran away to ease its pain. Only a weapon like Mento could do that.
"Well, it looks like this Kraken is raring for revenge."
"It's already weak so it will not be a problem."
Athena said, acting as if she could defeat a full healthy Kraken. She knew that it would be impossible unless she became a 3rd Advance.
'I'm more of an offensive type, but I know that my Swing Blade is not that powerful to hurt a Kraken big as this.'
Unlike Scarlett who could increase her fire through hatred, Athena's Term Attribute was constant.
'10 meters, that's the best that my blade can reach.'
That was actually a long-range…
Anyway, Athena was amazed at Calix's job. He injured a powerful monster like this in its natural habitat. Calix was not even afraid to attack the Kraken, as if he knew that the Kraken couldn't kill him.
"U- um, Calix, excuse me but this is…"
Nikki joined in, however, her voice was much weaker compared to earlier when she was roaring like a beast.

"Ah, this is Athena. She's Scarlett's maid."
"I- I see."
Nikko became nervous and looked down. She was afraid that Athena might hate her, after all, Nikki was always the one who received hatred.
"I pity you."
"Huh?"
Yet, instead of being disgusted or mad, Athena looked at Nikki with a pitiful expression. Then, she glared at Calix and the guy averted his gaze.
"Calix… Make sure that you have the right excuse, or else."
"I know, I know. Let's kill these monsters first, okay?"
"Fine."
Athena raised her metal bat while Calix kept his weapon to electrocute the Kraken. As for Nikki, she was defending the two against the smaller monsters.
Athena started swinging her metal bat and wind blades materialized and slashed the Kraken. The giant monster started curling in fear while enduring the attack. The monster tried to flee but it couldn't escape from Calix. The harpoon continued hurting it and even moving was torturous.
After ten minutes of constant battle, the Kraken lost its life. It didn't stand a chance against Calix's armor plot. The monster started sinking into the ocean until its silhouette was gone.
"Phew, I thought we were going to die."
Calix wiped his forehead. This battle was quite intense. He smiled and looked at the two. Nikki had a shy expression while Athena was looking at Calix with unknown motives.
"Um, I can explain--"
"Calix!!"
Just before Calix could start his explanation, a portal materialized over the small island and a flying car came out.
