King Of Underworld [EN]: Chapter 16

The King of the Underworld is Tired 16 (16/82)

Typhon’s Story – (5)

“You will be stuck in Tartarus for all eternity.”

After finishing the provocation and using Kynee [a helm that grants invisibility], I feel the familiar sensation again.

It feels like I’m temporarily disappearing from the world and stepping into another space.

“You… you bastard! Where did you hide!”

Kwaaaang!

Typhon punches the spot where I was just standing and sweeps through it with a storm, but I’m already gone.

[Zeus, let’s do as Athena said in the plan.]

[Alright, I’ll send the clouds when I see an opening.]

I realized it for sure with the slash I sent at Typhon.

I can wound Typhon with Scythe, but I can’t blow his head off in one strike.

He’s a monster who defeated all of Olympus, even though he’s weakened.

His body’s strength is beyond imagination, so even Zeus’s lightning that tears the world apart only hurts him.

Kwarururung!

“Take this! Typhon!”

“Kuaaaaaaa!”

When I infiltrated Olympus, which he had occupied, using Kynee and brought Scythe,

I was going to blow Typhon’s head off myself.

But when I arrived at the battlefield and asked the other gods to create an opening, only Athena offered a different opinion.

[Uncle, only Zeus will be able to cut that monster’s neck.]

[I have a scythe made of Adamas [an incredibly strong material] in my hand. Are you saying that even considering this?]

[Yes. Please show yourself to him for a moment on purpose. Typhon is just a young monster who only has strong power but has never experienced war.]

With my power, I can’t inflict a fatal wound on him even if I wield Scythe made of Adamas.

And if we go to a war of attrition, there’s a possibility that he’ll run away.

Zeus, who can cut his neck in one blow, is Typhon’s top priority.

Therefore, I will divert Typhon’s attention to me and secretly pass Scythe to Zeus.

When Typhon is wary of me, an invisible assassin, Scythe will already be in Zeus’s hands.

That is the strategy of the goddess of war and wisdom.

“Hades! You’re hiding like a rat! Kuaaa!”

Kwakwakwakwa!

A fiercer storm than ever before rages on Mount Olympus.

The monster is restless because of the fact that an assassin with the most threatening weapon is aiming for him.

Inevitably, the intensity of vigilance towards Zeus weakens.

“Wasn’t I fighting Ares! Don’t let your guard down, Typhon!”

The god of war, who can fully exert his power in fierce battles.
Ares, who had been blown away and crashed into the mountain, jumps back into the battlefield and rushes towards Typhon.

“See clearly what the flames of the Olympus furnace are like!”

As Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and fire, raises his hammer high, the nearby land is completely engulfed in flames.

The fire, which has become even stronger with the tacit approval of Demeter, the goddess of the earth, has become so large that it reaches the clouds.

Typhon also responds to this by creating a huge storm once again,

This created a huge firestorm connecting the earth and the sky.

Kukwakwakwakwa-

[Now is the time, Zeus. I will deliver Scythe.]

[I’ll send a five-colored cloud, so put it there, brother.]

Now is the chance when Typhon’s vision is blurred by the storm of fire.

Strange clouds filled with five-colored light spread thickly, and I quietly placed the scythe in my hand on the cloud.

* * *

“K-aaaaaa!”

The snakes that make up Typhon’s hair emit lightning and venom wildly and go berserk.

As he himself knows, the victory is gradually tilting towards the Olympian gods.

If it weren’t for those hateful Moirai [the Fates] and the human who dared to deceive him!

“Monster, Poseidon is here!”

Kukung! Kwang!

Once again, Poseidon’s trident, filled with blue divine power, strikes Typhon’s face directly.

But the one he really needs to be wary of is someone else.

“Hades! The master of the underworld is like a shady rat!”

The invisible assassin is aiming for him in the dark with the strongest weapon, Scythe.

Scythe is the strongest weapon that wounded Typhon even before he fell into the trap.

If there is an opening, the blue blade made of Adamas will fly to his neck.

While fighting the gods, Typhon’s senses felt something as he continued to be wary of the invisible assassin.

A sinister attack flying from behind, it’s him!

Seuk- Chwaak!

His back is split by a sinister slash and he spills golden ichor [the blood of the gods], but a smile forms on Typhon’s lips.

The assassin is only scary when he is invisible; his location has been revealed by the attack just now.

Kwaaaaaang!

A storm wraps around Typhon’s feet and is unleashed in the direction the slash came from.

The ground is deeply dug, making a loud noise and causing a small earthquake.

“Heh… I caught you, you bastard!”

“Cough..”

Hades, whose Kynee had been removed, was lying on the floor.

He seemed to be quite injured, spitting out ichor from his mouth and lying down.

Typhon smiled victoriously and looked for Scythe.

If he just takes back the scythe that Hades had, there is nothing to be afraid of.

This time, he will cut off the tendons of all the gods and bury them in the ground!

But Scythe is not visible in his sight.

He searched all around Hades with his transcendent divine vision, but?

“Heh…”

Hades’ cold smile, mocking him, catches Typhon’s eye in embarrassment.

And with it, a powerful force felt from behind. Zeus!

“It was quite a struggle, but this is the end! Typhon!”

Come to think of it, his lightning hasn’t been flying since some point…

Denggeong-

Typhon’s vision turned upside down and went dark.

* * *

Kuuung!

“Hoo…”

Zeus, holding Scythe, cut off Typhon’s head in one blow.

At the same time, the storm that had been raging fiercely stopped completely.

Typhon’s body collapsed as it was and no longer moved,

The head that fell to the ground rolled around, covered in dirt.

Yes, we won.

Gaia’s final weapon, which was aiming for Olympus, was eventually defeated by the gods’ joint attack.

Perhaps if Typhon had immediately invaded the underworld, released the Titan gods of Tartarus, and fought together, we might have been defeated.

His misstep was only one thing: he trusted only in his own power and showed an arrogant appearance.

“Cough…!”

Ugh… My body hurts a lot because I deliberately took his attack.

Look at the ichor flowing from my mouth; his power is amazing.

First, I picked up Scythe again, which had fallen to the ground with Typhon’s head.

Was his neck so hard that Zeus missed it?

I tapped his head to see if he had definitely fallen.

The eyes that had been fiercely glaring closed and did not move, so it seems he fell into a temporary catatonic state.

[It would be even better if you take a hit to create a definite opening. If you take off Kynee at that moment, you will definitely deceive Typhon…]

Athena, you didn’t retaliate with personal feelings from the Great Flood last time, did you?

Did I make you work too much back then?

“Hades! Are you okay?!”

I’m fine, so don’t cry, Hestia.

Our gods are immortal beings, you know that, right?

A veteran god who has also experienced the war with the Titan gods has a weak heart…

But she is ruthless when she actually fights.

“It was really dangerous this time; I didn’t know Gaia would create such a guy.”

“What should we do? Mount Olympus has collapsed!”

“Well, we have to rebuild the mountain. The nymphs and lower gods will have a hard time.”

The gods who had finished fighting, healing their wounds, and catching their breath began to gather one by one.

As the gods who were shedding golden liquid, ichor, from their bodies gathered, the surrounding air began to glow with golden light. Ares seems to be badly injured in particular…

Now that we have defeated Typhon, it is time to clean up.

“Brother Hades, I will definitely repay you for helping Olympus.”

“Hmph, Zeus. Of course, I want to be compensated too.”

“….Poseidon, you too.”

“My arrows, like rays of sunlight, didn’t work…”

“I almost got hunted by the prey.”

“The earth, which is like my child… is completely ruined. I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it.”

“Demeter, I will try my best to restore nature.”

“Pan, postpone restoring nature for a while and follow me. Let’s look for his remnants together.”

“Yes, ma’am. Hades.”

First, I moved with Pan, who was jumping around with goat legs, to search for nearby remnants.

There was also a monster named Delphyne who was Typhon’s subordinate, so we should take this opportunity to deal with them for sure.

Typhon, whose head has been cut off, is incapable of fighting anyway, so it doesn’t matter if we leave him as he is.

There are only a few gods here, so they will be able to handle anything that happens.

Soon, small animals that received Pan’s orders spread out in all directions to search for monsters.

Pan, who put his ear to the ground for a moment and listened to the whispers of the forest and fields, called me.

“There’s… an animal I’ve never seen before in a cave, gupsyo [a verbal tic of Pan’s, similar to ‘yup’].”

I found it.

* * *

Following Pan, I headed to a nearby cave, and I could indeed feel the aura of a monster.

Seeing that it was weaker than the power that the monster named Delphyne had emitted a while ago, there were indeed more remnants.

“This is the cave, gupsyo.”

As I entered the cave that Pan’s finger was pointing to, a dog greeted me.

A black dog lying diagonally on the floor and yawning lazily.

Seeing the monster’s unique fierce light flashing in its eyes and feeling Typhon’s aura faintly, it was definitely that guy’s blood relative.

It soon got up and growled at us, feeling hostility from us who had entered the cave, which was a little cute.

But… the dog has three heads?

“Well, it seems like a weak monster, so I’ll take care of it, gupsyo.”

As Pan reached out his hand, the grass near the cave naturally intertwined and created a sharp spear.

The spear made of plants seemed like it would pierce the three-headed dog in no time, but…

Keureureureuk! Arreureu..

Oh, it captured the spear that Pan threw and bit it with its teeth?

Even if it was a sloppy attack that underestimated a small monster, it’s quite impressive.

“Ha… you monster…”

Pan glanced at me and concentrated green divine power in his hand.

He probably thinks he has lost face in front of me.

“That’s enough. I’ll just do it.”

“Yes? There’s no need for Hades to use his hands…”

I don’t even need to use Scythe on such a weak monster.

As I drew the Styx Sword and approached, the dog that was chewing on the spear made of grass flinched and looked at me.

The three heads quickly examined my appearance and sword, and then…

Kkiiing! Kking! Kkaegeng!

It just laid down backwards..?

“That… seems to be… surrendering, gupsyo.”

Pan looked at the monster as if he was dumbfounded and said to me.

It’s reliable if it’s Pan’s interpretation, who is the god of nature and can understand the words of animals or monsters with low intelligence…

I was stunned by the fact that a monster with yellow sprouts, who seemed to be of Typhon’s bloodline, was showing this behavior, and it slowly approached me.

The monster came to a slightly distant place, looked at me, stuck out its tongue, and wagged its tail diligently.

Heek heek! Heek! Kkiiing!

“It’s an honor to meet a high-ranking person… I’ll do anything, so please spare me…”, it says, gupsyo.”

What..?
