Chapter 604 The End of the First Round (5)
”You goddamn mortal!” Hades grabbed Isaac by the back of his head, and headbutted him. However, before the headbutt hit him, Isaac leaned forward, and counter-attacked with own headbutt.
As the two headbutts collided, both foreheads started bleeding.
”Argh!” Hades groaned in pain.
”Hehe…” Isaac grabbed Hades by his collar, and pulled him closer. He again headbutted the God. This time, Hades coughed out blood.
The spectators gasped in shock.
Hades staggered backward while trying to stabilize himself with the help of his bident.
Isaac pulled the trigger, and released a crimson beam. He used Pulverizer.
Hades grabbed the bident tightly, and placed it before him. As the crimson beam struck the black shaft, he screamed, and started moving forward, through the scorching hot beam.
Soon, Hades reached Isaac, and the sniper rifle, which was still releasing the hot crimson beam. The bident’s shaft was already starting to turn hotter, the color had already started to peel off.
”Underworld’s God!” Suddenly, the bident started to emit a black smoke. It engulfed the crimson beam, and quenched it. As soon as the beam disappeared, he swung the bident, and sliced through Isaac’s coat.
A spurt of blood gushed out of Isaac’s torso as a lengthy slash wound appeared. He immediately moved backward, trying to make some distance. However, Hades followed, and continued slashing. The bident shredded through the air. Coming from the right, up, down, and left.
Isaac couldn’t keep up with the slashes, and soon, his body was riddled with wounds. The Health Bar started blinking in yellow, meaning that he had already lost more than half of his HP.
The spectators clenched their fists. It was starting to look bad. There was a minority in the viewing rooms, who cheered for Isaac’s victory. They were mostly Artemis, Hecate, and Khione, while several others stayed hidden.
“You can’t defeat me!” Hades smashed his bident down on Isaac. However, he dodged, and the bident sliced through the ground like it was made of butter.
Isaac’s eyes turned cold as he weaved through the bident slashes. A thought arose in his mind. He hadn’t gotten used to his new skills yet, but it was a good time to try.
As the bident struck the ground before him, Isaac jumped over it, and appeared before the cold-faced Hades. The black-haired god pulled his bident out of the ground, and stabbed it towards the flying man.
To everyone’s surprise, Isaac didn’t try to dodge. Instead, he grabbed the bident with his free hand. However, the blade instantly cut through his flesh, and leaked a dangerous-looking black smoke into his wounds.
As the blood struck his bleeding wound, his health started rapidly decreasing. However, Isaac didn’t care, He activated Death Touch, and tried to destroy the bident. But was unsuccessful.
The bident was one of the strongest weapons, created by the Star of the Universe. It was indestructible, and one of the rare weapons that would survive the destruction of the world.
However, Isaad didn’t rely on his luck, hoping to destroy bident. Instead, he suddenly exhaled, and used Icy Shot. A freezing breath caressed Hades’ face, and caused a thick ice layer to form around his head.
”ARGH!” But, it couldn’t keep Hades in bay. With one scream, he destroyed the Icy Shot. However, at that moment, he noticed that Isaac was missing. The arena was empty, except for the lava that continued gushing out of the ground.
As Hades looked around, he noticed a strange scene. Everyone, the spectators, and Gods, all looked towards the starry ceiling. He raised his head, and saw a white-haired man, aiming downward with the sniper rifle.
”Meteor Descent…” Isaac murmured while pulling the trigger. The barrel shook, and released a tiny rock, surrounded by a gentle flicker of flame. However, the rock suddenly started growing. At first, it was a small pebble, then a hand-sized rock, then a boulder, and finally, a flaming meteor!
”Aaaah!” The spectators cried out as the meteor fell towards them. However, then the barrier appeared, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. But, the meteor went straight through the barrier, like it was a rock thrown at window!
”AAAAHHH!”
Screams of shock, and fear filled the air. The Inhumans jumped to their feet, and started panicking as the meteor approached. They tried to turn away, and make their way to the exit. However, there were hundreds of thousands of spectators, it was too packed!
But then, before the Gods, and Goddesses had time to do anything, the meteor steered off course, and flew away from the audience. Instead, it went straight towards Hades!
”Aaaaaah, goddamn mortal!” Hades raised his bident, and majestically faced the flaming meteor, ”Begone, fiery destruction!”
Hades leaped off the ground, and stabbed the bident into the flaming meteor. Long, deep cracks surrounded the meteor, and as if it was made from sand, it crumbled to pieces.
”Hahaha!” As the crumbled pieces of meteor fell around him, Hades turned his gaze back to the white-haired man, smugly smiling. Then, his smile froze as he came face-to-face with a black-colored bullet.
”Death Touch…” Isaac hovered high above, his hands glowing black. Before shooting, he coated his hands in Death Touch, and then fired. He remembered from the skill’s description, that he could coat Death Touch into anything.
Thus, he tried to apply it into the bullets, and it worked.
The bullet, clad in Death Touch, drilled through Hades’ forehead.
The Gods, and Goddesses opened their eyes in shock. The Lord of the Underground fell from the sky, like a bird that had lost its wings. He thudded on the ground, looking like he was dead.
The spectators, who calmed down after the meteor got destroyed, looked at Hades.
”I-Is he dead?”
”H-He can’t be… he is a Lord of the Underworld!”
”B-But, t-there is a bullet hole in his forehead.”
The players, spectating, felt a rush of emotions. They were witnessing a history. A player, actually defeated a God, meaning, that in the future, they could do the same.
Isaac gently landed on the ground, and strapped his sniper on his back. After taking a last look on Hades, he turned around, and like valiant warrior, walked towards the wide-open doors.
However, at that moment, a painful voice echoed.
”W-Wait!” Hades awkwardly climbed to his feet, a hot golden liquid trailing down his face, ”F-Fucking mortal, I haven’t lost yet!”
A golden glow appeared from the depths of his heart, and soul. Suddenly, all wounds in Hades’ body, disappeared. Still, the scars remained. After the wounds disappeared, his muscles bulged, and the entire moon started shaking.
”Underworld’s Descent!”
