Archer was set free from his eternal slavery bound by Alaya, but with the cost of now being loyal to Gaia, Mother Earth itself.

The white-haired man was standing on a cliff as he looked into the distance, watching over the rising horizon...

He relaxed for a bit after walking for more than a mile, his superhuman abilities have not changed but since he had a physical body now, he had limited stamina, though his contract with Gaia ensured him that he will have no shortage of magical energy when he needs to use any one of his projections.

He stood and watched the peaceful horizon as his clothing was reflected by the light of the rising sun with the red of his clothing illuminating into an orange color.

Archer merely looked into the sun after tracing and equipping sunglasses as he looked at the sun with disgust as he let out a loud "TCH" at the star, piloted by Apollo...

As he kept giving a deadly glare at the sun, he heard a scream nearby and noticed that it was from a group of girls with bows and arrows in hand fighting against multiple monsters!

Archer soon summoned his bow and conjured multiple arrows which he used to shoot down the monsters one by one, as he made the shot curve to avoid any suspicion, as he used replicas of the arrows that the girls used...

As the monsters were shot down one by one, they cheered in peaceful bliss as they had a small celebration before they continued on their journey, but that was until someone spoke behind him...

???: "Who are you, Boy...?"

The person behind Archer said with venom, especially on the last word of the sentence...

Archer would soon turn around and see the person behind him with a Bow and Arrow ready to shoot him.

Archer: "Why hello there, Artemis..."

The Red bowmen replied with an angry tone, emphasizing the last word filled with silent rage.

The person behind him who was ready to shoot him was Artemis, his former adoptive mother...

The Goddess Of The Hunt shot a glare filled with anger, which comes with the whole man-hating reputation that she has...

Artemis: "Answer me, Boy...!"

She asked with a tone filled with anger and a hint of sadness accompanied by familiarity...

Archer: "I'm no one in particular, but if you want a name, then I shall answer..."

Archer: "My name is Archer..."

Artemis: "Why did you help my Hunters?"

She inquired with a somewhat calm tone with a stern face.

Archer: "Is it wrong to save a person in need?"

He asked in a mocking tone with a smug face which angered the Goddess...

Artemis: "YOU DARE DISRESPECT A GODDESS!?"

She exclaimed as she shot an arrow and unsheathed her Hunting knife all while charging at Archer!

Archer's eyes widened in shock as he was caught off guard by the sudden attack, but merely caught the silver arrow and placed it into his bow as he shot to his right, as he dispelled his bow and summoned his married blades, Kanshou and Bakuya!

Artemis: "Creating weapons? A son of Hephaestus?"

Archer: "Not quite!"

He said as he clashed both of his swords against Artemis's hunting knife.

The weapon that Artemis wields may be a knife, but it is more akin to a dagger, with an extended blade, though when the two clashed, they created a shockwave that caused a crater to form below them as the force dispersed into the air forming visible pockets of air that scattered throughout the area!

Though what Artemis didn't know is that the arrow that Archer shot was now bouncing off of some trees as it was now flying in the air being launched at her!

Artemis sensed the arrow at the last minute and sliced it mid-air, but not before Archer took this chance and used the hilts of both of his blades to knock down the Goddess!

Artemis faltered on both knees on the ground as Archer stomped his foot on her back before leaving a big gash on her back...

When he was done, Archer walked away as Artemis held her hand out and blinked which showed her a silhouette of a boy with red hair before she blinked again and showed Archer's red clothing and his white hair...

As she slowly succumbed to Ichor loss and saw a vision that would forever be ingrained into her mind...

It was a land filled with swords stabbed into the ground with a man looking over a hill with weapons stabbed into his body as he stared into the horizon

It was a land filled with swords stabbed into the ground with a man looking over a hill with weapons stabbed into his body as he stared into the horizon.

The man had there same red clothing and white hair as the man that she had fought, Archer...

But she noticed a peculiar difference as the man turned around to face her, it was the eyes...

The man had different colored eyes...

The man had a warm-lit orange eye color on his right, while he had a cold and dull silver-colored eye on his left...

And the last thing that she heard was:

"Wait! Artemis!? Thals, we found her!"

Before being rendered unconscious with a pained expression filled with anguish and confusion.
