Chapter 230: Rage Of Epioles
[We’re sorry, Atlas. We just want you to be prepared and learn,] read the message from Gaia.
When Atlas saw this message, it was clear that he was visibly upset. No one expected him to react this way.
"If you want me to learn, please speak. If Lady Artemis hadn’t been there, Azazel could have escaped. If that had happened, I might have died before Lady Juliet returned... I owe my life to Lady Artemis," Atlas said suddenly.
Upon hearing this, everyone watching him from the sacred land fell silent.
"By the way, if you find Master Epiales, do not harm him... I think he may have helped us in a way we never even considered," Atlas said suddenly.
These words made no sense to anyone. Epiales had already been found and forced to kneel before Nyx and the others.
Still, the precious Oneiroi remained silent. It was as if Epiales knew that even if he spoke, no one would believe him. So he chose to accept the blame and the punishment that would be given to him.
Nevertheless, when Atlas spoke these words, the first person to be surprised was Epiales himself. The Oneiroi, who had refused to defend himself, was so moved that his eyes filled with tears.
[What are you trying to say?] Nyx asked with great curiosity. Nyx had been forced into a position where she could punish her child, and to be honest, she certainly did not want to do so.
What mother would want to punish her child with a punishment that would drag them to that point, even if it did not mean death?
"I thought about it. I thought deeply while fighting. Everything started to make sense." Atlas said suddenly.
"Think about it, my lady. When there is nothing, the possibility of a demon being released is given. This possibility... or rather, the offer comes from someone who cannot be refused, directly from a god, a god in spirit form. The demon is very dangerous, but it is released at a time when it can cause the least harm..." he added to his own words.
