Volume 4 Chapter 147 - *Title at the end*
After polishing their plans for the next few days, they all retired to their beds. Yoruichi transformed back to her cat form and exited the house through the window. She can't keep calm without surveying her surroundings first so she left Kisuke in the room who started working on disguise equipment for the family of three.
Yoruichi ran a lap throughout the whole island to see some interesting things, though she didn't approach the temples of the Olympians due to it emitting some detection spell. The only other thing she found strange that night is the fluctuation of Mana in the direction of the port of Piraeus.

"Haa… Haa… Haa…" Sitting and wheezing on the corner of a dark alley in the port of Piraeus, the black figure is looking around to locate her pursuers.
She's the same person that stumbled onto Kisuke yesterday night. Still with her black cloak that blends with the night and a dirty white cloth as a blindfold. Her pursuers have been chasing her for a few months now and she's already reaching her limit. She contemplated if she should just use her powers but doing so will only drag innocent people into her problem. And she already regretting doing so in the past. She didn't want to lose her humanity the second time.
"There she is! Surround her!" The voice of the burly man resounded from the top of the building the black-cloaked person is resting.
She turned her head in shock as she didn't detect him approaching, 'What's happening!?' A few seconds after that shout, multiple figures appeared around her.
The figures are both men and women and each one of them is wearing casual civilian clothes but all of them are wearing a plain white mask and are holding various weapons ranging from swords to guns, 'When did they!?'
"Hahaha! We finally cornered you, monster! Don't let it out of the encirclement. I'll call Sir Dennis to cut her head off!" The same burly voice resounded.
"No need for I'm already here. Let's get this over with. I'll become busy to take over the work of the Clan Head after this." A young man in a white suit and a rapier on his waist walked out from the crowd. The young man is about 20 years old. He has short dark red hair and dark red eyes sporting an arrogant smirk on his face as he looks at the cloaked woman.
"Sir Dennis! It's the House of Harpe's turn to control everything! Please don't forget us, your loyal subordinates! Hahaha!" The burly man wearing civilian clothes and a white mask jumped down from the top of the building to the side of the young man.
"Of course. After this, we'll celebrate for three days and you can get whoever woman you fancy in this town."
"Hahahaha! Thank you, milord!"
The young man named Dennis, then looked back to the blindfolded cloak woman who is baring her teeth at him, "You must be confused on how we were able to get near you without you detecting us."
Dennis then slowly swaggered towards her while she took a step back, "Did you think that I'm just pursuing you blindly?… Well, maybe. But as long as I successfully trap you inside Pireaus, it's my win."
The tattered woman continued to step back until she hits the wall but she never turns her face away from the young man.
"Still not speaking? How boring… Aren't you curious?" Dennis then took out the rapier on his side. But seeing that the 'monster' is still not begging for its life, he got bored, 'I guess this is what you get by repeatedly dying countless times.'
With a flash of his hand holding the rapier, Dennis aimed for the woman's neck. Of course, the woman wouldn't stand still while others try to behead her, so she ducks down to dodge the rapier and rushed towards her assailant.
"Haah!" With a shout, the woman clenched her fist and sent out a punch towards the arrogant young man. It was blocked by Dennis' other hand, but even then, he was sent skidding away and leaving to long marks on the ground due to the force behind her punch.
"Is see that you still have the energy to spare. Looks like the poison didn't do much on your physical abilities as they did on your senses." Dennis waved his hand that he used to block the punch around to ease the bit of pain, "But you became too weak. Looks like you aren't eating well. Hahaha. It would really be funny if the legendary Gorgon starved to death. Should I just really confine you, cut off your limbs and wait for your death before cutting your neck? And maybe I can play with you for a few days. After all, you're very known for your beauty before you were cursed. I would like to have some taste of that! Hahaha!"
The deviant's laugh sent a shiver to the woman's spine, 'I don't want to die! I don't want to be tormented for another three generations!… But what I hate the most are men like him! If I'm going to die today, then I have to bring him with me to hell.'
With a deep breath, she resolved herself to die today. It isn't her first time anyway. She just hates the time she's dead. She was tempted to relieve 'Breaker Gorgon' but decided against it as it might hurt the other people who has nothing to do with this affair. Pooling all the Mana in her body, she strengthened her body to limits and rushed towards Dennis for a second time, but her speed from the previous attack is vastly inferior to her speed now which shocked Dennis and the minions in white masks, "Sir Dennis!" The burly man shouted.
"Kuhh…" Dennis saw that her fist is coming for his face so he hurriedly blocks it with both of his arms, but that was the cloaked woman aiming for. Like a snake, her other hand which formed a knife, aim straight towards his heart much faster than the punch she sent out.
But just a few inches from his heart, the woman staggered slightly due to her senses going haywire. The woman is physically and mentally at her limits and adding the poison that she unknowingly contracted, she lost consciousness for an instant in a very crucial time, resulting in her to miss his heart just a half of an inch to the left.
Panicking greatly, Dennis kicked her away, "Damn you!!!"
The burly man instantly pulled out a flask with transparent red liquid inside it and poured it on Dennis' wound.
Although the would still look nasty, it stopped bleeding. Dennis only needs to get some medical attention to return to his previous state.
After inspecting his almost fatal wound, Dennis glared at the woman who's cloak was blown away which revealed her appearance and is currently struggling to stand up.
Although her eyes were covered by dirty cloth, and her attire is consists of what you call a rag, it can't hide her beauty especially her long purple hair which reflects the moonlight.
Her appearance, however, didn't ease Dennis rage, "I'll kill you, you damned monster!"
With those words, he raised his rapier and dozens of white magic circle appeared around the woman blocking all her routes.
"Die! Medusa!" With his shout, Dennis brought down his rapier and multiple rapier-like spikes appeared on the magic circle launching itself towards the woman.
