Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

The spear pierced Arnold's body and came out from his stomach.

"Got you! Bastard!" the guard shouted.

The guard further pierced the spear more into Arnold's body and swung it in the air.

"Got you!" he shouted again, but this time, much loudly.

Blood came out of Arnold's mouth and stomach; some trailed down with the spear as the blood drops fell to the ground.

'I can't… die… like… this…'

Legends said that one always remembered their entire life before they were about to die. However, Arnold had no life. He had died millions of times and lived in a different body every time he transmigrated.

He was used to dying, but he was never scared because Rosemary was always with him.

But, this time, it was different.

He was about to die, alone; and he was never going to transmigrate again.

He would never see Rosemary again.

'I… regret… not saying… goodbye to… her…'

Arnold's body had begun losing its strength, and he was losing consciousness.

His happiest memories flashed before his eyes as he struggled to stay conscious.

—— 

It was a snowy day, and the blizzard was hitting every inch of the surface.

Arnold was traveling alone in the forest under the blizzard.

It had been five years since he met Zeus, and he had learned almost all the martial techniques.

He could easily defeat an S rank monster one to one. However, he always struggled when he was fighting against more than one opponent.

The blizzard turned wild as time passed. The trees were falling, the mountains were crumbling, and the lands were sliding.

Arnold casually walked through all that and made his way deeper into the forest.

He was traveling through the forest, in the deadly blizzard, only for one thing; he wanted to find Zeus' favorite fruits that also ripened in the snowy season.

When Arnold entered the forest to get Zeus' favorite fruits, there was no sign of the blizzard, but once he reached halfway, the wind got worse and turned into a blizzard.

He had already traveled halfway, so he couldn't go back empty-handed.

He was about to meet Zeus after one year, and he was excited when he first heard that Zeus was coming to the capital's guildhall.

Arnold wanted to show his gratitude to Zeus for teaching him martial arts and making him the man he was today.

He increased his pace and muttered: "I should get there quickly and go back as soon as possible. I might get into trouble if I get stuck in this blizzard."

After walking for two hours under the blizzard, Arnold successfully reached there and obtained Zeus' favorite food.

However, the blizzard had turned worse, and Arnold couldn't find his way back to the main path.

He couldn't even figure out from which direction he came. 

Wherever he glanced, he saw snow was covered everywhere.

He looked up at the sky and sighed in relief.

'I am glad I learned how to figure out the direction by looking at the sun.'

He hurriedly followed the sun, hoping he would get out from the forest soon. But he had underestimated the blizzard and its effect.

Arnold could no longer feel his legs, and his body was losing its heat.

He was having a hard time staying conscious, but he had a reason to stay alive.

He wanted to see Zeus' happy face, and he wanted to hear Zeus' praising him for the fruits.

Arnold started taking deep and long breaths as he moved forward. He kept his entire body hot by making unnecessary movements.

Suddenly, his gaze fell near the cave that was blocked by rocks, trees, and snow.

He stopped on his track and squinted his eyes to inspect carefully to confirm what he was seeing.

He saw a pair of legs coming out of the snow, and the body was buried under it.

"There is no point in going and checking on the body. If it's buried under the snow, then they must be dead already," he uttered as fog came out of his mouth.

He walked past the body and crushed the snow under his feet. However, he could still see the legs of the body from his peripheral vision.

He felt terrible to leave a dead body like that, but there was nothing else he could do. His top priority was to get the fruits safely to Zeus.

After walking for a while, he looked back on a whim and saw the leg moving.

Arnold immediately turned around and rushed at the body.

He thought the person was dead, so there was no need to check up on them, but if they were alive, it was a different case.

Arnold grabbed the legs and pulled the body out of the snow, but he was surprised to see it was a little girl.

He glanced and walked around to make sure there was no one else with the girl.

"What is a little girl doing here alone? And how is she alive?"

The little girl's clothes were loose, too loose to fit her body. It was almost as though she was wearing the clothes of an adult.

Arnold closed his eyes and covered the girl properly with her clothes.

"I am sure the people in the guildhall will give me weird stares after seeing me carrying a little girl in my arms, but I have no other choice."

Arnold carried the girl in his arms and started walking as fast as he could.

He couldn't run because the snow was reaching his knees, and he had to maintain his stamina to get out of the forest.

"This girl is… heavy!"

"Or is she…? Maybe she feels heavy because my body is giving up on me?"

Arnold's mind had stopped functioning, and he couldn't think straight.

He forcefully walked through the never-ending blizzard, hoping it would end soon and he would get out of the forest.

His body had turned ice-cold, and he couldn't even feel his hands anymore.

However, he came back to his senses as the adrenaline inside his body pumped to maximum after seeing— what he could only describe as death itself.
