Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 45 45. A Genius (1)

Instructor Kyros wanted to see it. He wanted to see if a mortal really had the potential to stand at the peak of the realm of the gods.

Aiden gazed at the excited instructor and a confident smile grew on his lips.

Call it pride or call it hubris.

Aiden couldn't quite put a name to what it was exactly, but ever since his divine bloodline awakened, he revlled in the thrill of shattering limits and defying expectations.

Perhaps it was the suppressed nature within him, or perhaps it was the blood of gods coursing through his veins creating an insatiable hunger to rise above all others and be worshiped and envied by the masses .

Aiden wasn't entirely sure. But there was one thing he knew with absolute certainty: he relished the intoxicating feeling of being a genius.

Aiden chuckled to himself as he thought about his new found quirck, when suddenly the ground all around him trembled violently, and a terrifying roar echoed through the air.

Slowly, the shadows in the tunnel began to shift, giving way to the towering presence of the Lion King.

Despite having encountered a Lion King before, its colossal majesty still struck fear into the hearts of many trainees, leaving them trembling in its overwhelming presence.

Aiden fixed his gaze on the monstrous behemoth. His body was shaking too, but not from fear—he was trembling with excitement!

Adrenaline surged through his veins, his blood boiling with anticipation.

The Lion King unleashed another earth-shattering roar. In response, the lionesses roared in unison, their combined voices sending out a shockwave so powerful it made bones tremble and hearts falter.

But in the face of such terrifying waves, Aiden simply smiled, standing motionless.

Seeing that Aiden wasn't intimidated The lionesses snarled as they advanced with lethal intent whilst the Lion King observed silently from behind.

Slowly, they circled Aiden, closing the gap from all sides, ensuring there was no possible path of escape.

When they were close enough, the lionesses unleashed a feral roar, their ferocity fully unleashed, eyes blazing with murderous intent.

Five of them lunged simultaneously, their massive jaws aimed at Aiden's throat and limbs.

Yet Aiden remained still and unmoved.

The trainees watching saw this and gasped, their eyes widening in horror.

"It's over!"

"He's dead!"

But just as the lionesses closed in and bit on Aiden;s body the result was unexpected.

Aiden's body flickered like a glitching screen and then suddenly burst into a cloud of light!

"No, it's an afterimage!" someone cried out in disbelief.

High in the sky, a streak of light instantly condensed into Aiden's smiling figure.

He looked down upon the lions below, his bow fully drawn as a surge of golden, divine energy poured out of his blood. His bow trembled under the terrifying power as it all coalesced into a dazzling yet menacing flame that danced around the tip of his arrow

[Apollo's Archery- True Dawn]

A blast of golden light shone as a second sun appeared in the sky

Aiden unleashed a volley of golden arrows, sending them hurtling towards the earth like a cascade of falling stars.

"Roar!"

Sensing the imminent danger, the Lion King roared, slamming its massive paws into the ground. A golden wave of energy erupted from its body, expanding outward and synchronizing with the lionesses in perfect harmony.

"BOOM!"

Aiden's arrows collided with the golden wave. The resulting impact was like a rain of missiles crashing down from orbit

His sunlight-infused flames clashed violently with the metallic sheen of the each lions defenses, creating a magnificent explosion that shook the ground beneath them to the core, kicking up a dust cloud that engulfed and blinded the entire arena

But Aiden wasn't finished. His eyes glowed with a brilliant golden hue as he nocked another arrow, releasing it with a sharp whistle as it streaked through the air!

Meanwhile, in the cloud of smoke, an unsuspecting lioness had barely recovered from Aiden's last attack when an arrow cut through the smoke, appearing right in front of its face!

"Boom!"

The lioness had managed to close its eyes at the last minute, and relying on its horrifying defense, stacked together with the aura of the Lion King and was able to survive the lethal attack.

If it were any other creature, it would have died on the spot!

But before the beast could breathe a sigh of relief, its body trembled as its instincts screamed at it to move. It didn't need to look to know what was happening.

More arrows were being shot over to finish the job.

It desperately tried to dodge, but the arrows fired were locked onto it like heat-seeking missiles, having already predicted its movements. Each arrow was like an inescapable curse and was fired with expert precision, viciously drilling into the same wound and breaking away at the defense.

Even drops of water can wear away stone, so how could a mere beast's defense stand up to the continued arrows of the descendant of the sun god?

A final arrow landed on its eyelid but the lioness was no longer so lucky. The arrow drilled through and burst the Lioness head

The beast howled in despair, but it was all for nought.

The last thing it saw was a set of merciless golden eyes looking down on it like a tyrannical king would look down on a single crawling ant as Aiden watched the last arrow that he fired sealed the beast's death.

It had only been a few moments, but when the smoke cleared, they saw that the lioness was already kneeling over dead before anyone had realized what had happened.

The trainees saw this and instantly felt their backs grow cold.

A few from divine families even remembered the sharp warnings from their elders.

"You can fight the average students but No matter what you don't offend the talented descendants from the twin houses. If they really want to kill you, you won't even know how you died."
