[color=fff200][i]Zeus damn you all. What's the point of being an archer if everything seems to be resistant to arrows?[/i][/color] As this thought crossed Odysseus' mind, he fired several more arrows toward Flamma, who's reaction to them was more akin to an ox surrounded by flies than a man being struck by dozens of projectiles, each going at speeds that even a bullet couldn't hope to reach. Upon seeing Makoto's exploding spear trick though and the results, or lack there of, it produced, the man decided to switch targets. [color=fff200][i]I was having better luck against the Persian than this monster.[/i][/color]

[color=ed1c24][i]So if we're going back up against Xerxes, what's the new plan?[/i][/color]

[color=fff200][i]Well since he's so distracted by Ajax, I was thinking of stabbing him in the back.[/i][/color] The archer let out a sigh as he returned his bow to his back. [color=fff200][i]Athena, why couldn't you have sent me here in my Assassin form?[/i][/color]

[color=ed1c24][i]That still doesn't sound like much of a plan.[/i][/color]

[color=fff200][i]Fine. Step two is improvise. Step three is to win.[/i][/color]

[color=ed1c24][i]I'm not very confident in this strategy.[/i][/color]

[color=fff200][i]Tough luck. You granted me the use of your body, so I'm using it as I see fit.[/i][/color]

Watching as the skeletons fell before the piercing sound of Astolfo's horn, Odysseus used the opportunity to finally leave the collapsing rafters and descended to the gym floor, leaping down with two axes raised above his head and bringing them down upon both of Xerxes' shoulders. [color=fff200]"It may not be gold or jewelry, but why don't you accept this offering your highness,"[/color] he told the king as his weapons embedded themselves between the joints. [color=fff200]"Yes, I believe my gift looks quiet well on you."[/color]
