Chapter 2514: Complete The Mission No Matter What, Zagreus
?
Hades decided to fight back, unleashing one of his strongest attacks enhanced by the power of his Spirit Companion.
"{Abyssal Death God Scythe Arts}: {Spiritual Tempestuous Phantasmal Inferno}"
FLUOOOSH!
"Oooh?! Hahahaha! It tickles."
Eligos was pushed away with immense power and force, yet his body remained unscathed even while being battered with deadly attacks while being in the middle of the storm-like technique.
Indeed, Hades'' eyes twitched in disbelief as he saw the scene y out in front of him, the Great Demon Duke was justughing!
"That bastard isn''t even taking damage?!" Hades thought, gritting his teeth. "Whatever, I managed to push him back a bit!"
He decided to not let his pride make him feel bad, swallowing it and simply epting that Eligos was a monster that he had to deal with very differently. He quickly kicked the air, rushing outside the clouds and into his destination.
"Fate! This damn n of yours better works!"
As he thought about that, he saw his son and the other four Gods battling the Demons chasing them, countless explosions of Sun mes, Moonlight, and his son''s Arrows of Death reverberated through the skies.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"They''re managing...!" he muttered, smiling lightly. "We aren''t that far away from where we were told to bring them, so the other teams must be working and luring the other threats as well...!"
As he said that to himself, he noticed a lurking presence creeping behind him, an immense pressure approaching rapidly, Eligos hadpletely destroyed his tornado with a w attack and was now chasing him.
"To think you acted so tough but you''re now running away! I wonder what you''re nning, Hades!" Eligosughed, as his hands manifested demonic mes of ck and dark red colors. "Don''t think I cannot attack you from a distance though!"
The mes suddenly transformed, shaping into several fiery, infernal tridents that were rapidly fired at Hades. The Death God''s eyes widened, as he quickly had to attack the projectiles and intercept them before he was to get blown away by them.
"D-Dammit!"
Hades quickly unleashed his Divine Aura again, and then expanding it and dividing it, as it manifested into gigantic skulls whose eyes glowed bright red.
"{Divine Underworld Arcane Arts}: {Underworld''s Chorus}!"
"00000HHHHH!"
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
"GYYYEEEHHH!"
The skulls opened their jaws, as they started to scream incredibly loudly, generating massive sound waves that shook space constantly.
TRUUUMMM!!!
As the shockwave impacted Eligos'' projectiles, they destabilized, a few exploding in midair, however, the majority forced their way through, rapidly chasing Hades like homing missiles. "They can even chase me around...!" Hades clicked his tongue, preparing himself to intercept them at close range, swinging his scythe with all his strength several times in a row without using a technique to conserve Divine Energy.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
As he struck down the projectiles, countless explosions reverberated around him, although he wasn''t hit directly, the mes and the shockwaves generated were enough to push him, burning his clothes and skin.
"Uuggh...!"
He quickly red back at Eligos, his Divinity Aura once more expanding while phantasmal mes covered the demonic mes, trying to suppress them to reduce damage dealt.
"I''m here!"
However, his eyes widened when he noticed the Great Demon Duke was already... in front of him?!
"W-What?!"
"I''m getting bored, Hades. I don''t like chasing down my meals...! I''m rather...zy, perhaps." Eligos smiled with his massive, grotesque mouth that went across his stomach and torso, as Hades started sweating, the pressure was unbearable.
"So I''m going to get done with you right now and take your soul AND head!"
His ws rushed down towards Hades, as he swung his scythe against him, while unleashing the power of his Underworld Chorus!
CRAAASH!
RUMBLE!
A shockwave that split space apart emerged, as Hades was pushed back, his Divinity Aura once more destroyed by the power of Eligos'' Demonic Authority.
"{Demonic Infernal w Arts}: {Sizzling Infernal Shredder}! GYAHAHAHAHA!"
Hades saw Eligos ws rushing down at a speed he could barely discern, his body moving almost instinctively to block the blows, while the power of Ferberite emerged to defend him, but was destroyed instantly as well.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
As Eligos struck him, explosions of zing mes echoed, all while Hades'' body went through immense pain as countless shing wounds covered his body, infecting him with@@novelbin@@
demonic miasma.
"Uuuaaaggghh!"
Hades leftpletely helpless, engulfed by mes and agony, it wouldn''t take long for his entire body to explode into pieces.
"GYAAHAHAHAHA! YOU''RE TAKING MY BLOWS BETTER THAN I IMAGINED! SHOW ME HOW
RESILIENT YOU ARE, HADESSSS!"
Eligosughed maliciously, twisting space around him with his immense demonic power as
Hades was engulfed in a pure zing inferno.
"H-Hades! HADES!"
Ferberite panicked, calling for Hades as he noticed his consciousness was beginning to fade
away, he was dying.
"Zagreus... Please... Continue on the mission...! Save... your mother...!"
"F-FATHER!"
Zagreus screamed in horror as he nced at his father, his entire body exploding into pieces
and shredded apart, burned into a crisp.
BOOOMMM!!!
"Eheheheh... Phew! That was fun!" Eligos giggled, grasping Hades'' soul tightly, and grabbing his tiny head with his fingers. "Hmmm~! He''ll sit nicely in my room! Yes! Yes!"
Zagreus was paralyzed in horror; his father was dead.
"N-No...!"
The memories of his childhood with him, of everything surged one after another, as tears fell
from his eyes.
"F-Father..."
"ZAGREUS, WE HAVE TO GO!"
The voice of one of the Sun Monkey Gods echoed behind him, the male of the twins, who grabbed Zagreus tightly and rushed away as quickly as they could.
"Hmm? Ah right, those little ones... Come on now! Don''t you want to join him?!"
Eligos didn''t stop there though, he chased them all the way where they had nned to lure
him into.
"Father...! No... Father! Aaah...!" Zagreus kept screaming and crying while being carried by the
Sun Monkey God.
"I know it hurts, Zagreus! But you have to bear with it! We mustplete the mission! That
demon will pay! I-I promise you he will!"
"A-Ah...!"
Zagreus'' eyes glowed bright red, as his eyebrows furrowed.
"D-Damn demons...!" he muttered to himself. "I''ll avenge... I''ll avenge fa-"
"So you''re his son, hm?"
"Huh?!"
"Ungh?!"
"Agh!"
"No!"
The Gods, who were flying as fast as possible, were stopped, Eligos moving so quick he appeared before them, his ws covered by Hades'' blood, as he carried his head on a ne
he had made.
His pressure instantly stopped them, their Divinity Auraspletely shattered, they were
left... helpless!
"Y-You bastard...!"
Zagreus slowly started moving amidst the pressure, even as he felt his bones breaking and his
eyes, nose, and ears bleeding.
"You killed my dad, you fucking piece of shit!"
"That is but the destiny of the weaklings like you, what fault do I have? You came here to die after all,
gyeheheheh~!"
Eligos'' ws rushed towards Zagreus as he licked his lips.
"I''ll eat you up now!"
"CURSE YOU DEMONS!!!"
As Zagreus screamed while crying tears of blood...
BOOOM!
"Ungh?!"
Eligos vomited blood, as he stopped moving.
"Huh?"
His eyes moved around, suddenly noticing a huge hole through his left shoulder, a blueser
had just passed through it.
"W-Wha...?!"
And then, he nced what had attacked him.
"Beta-9,municating to headquarters right now, I''ve detected a powerful Demon-type Lifeform, I will hold it back with Beta-8 team and mine! Bring reinforcements ASAP!"
A massive steel titan stood there, floating above the skies.
One hundred meters tall, overflowing with a neon blue aura.
"W-We did it...! We made it, father!" Zagreus smiled viciously. "Kill each other now, you bastards!"
