King of Underworld - Chapter 100
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
Mount Athos Expedition – (3)
Chrysaor of the Golden Sword.
A giant snake-shaped monster that levitates a golden sword into the air and controls it.
After Medusa was beheaded by Perseus, she was born with Pegasus…
Unlike Pegasus, he had strong monster attributes, and by the time Medusa came looking for him, he had already disappeared somewhere.
Orthus.
A giant dog monster with two heads and a snake-headed tail.
He is the eldest of Typhon and Echidna’s children and is the sibling of Cerberus and Chimera, who were killed by Bellerophon in the underworld.
The two monsters that stand out the most are those with the stature of demigods, but the other monsters that follow them are no less formidable.
There are also Harpy, a monster with the head of a woman and the body of a giant bird of prey, moving trees, man-eating deer, giant lizards, etc…
“Those guys hiding in the mountains are coming! Let’s quickly intercept the guys in the sky…”
“Let’s not back down! This is a war against monsters watched over by the gods!”
“It will take some time for the messenger who went to Macedonia to request assistance to return! Hold on until then!”
“I dedicate my struggle to the god of war Ares!!!”
Krrrrrr! Krrrrr! Shhhhh-
The heroes quickly prepare for battle and respond to the onslaught of monsters.
Soon, spears and arrows will fly, and monsters will rush in to devour humans.
As the two groups, intent on killing each other, collide, human screams and beastly howls can be heard here and there.
The sound of swords clashing with the claws of monsters harmonized to open the battlefield.
Even in this chaotic situation, there were quite a few heroes who stood out.
Orion, the hero leading the expedition, is one of them.
Swoosh- swoosh.
His arrow pierced the neck of another monster. The son of the sea god, renowned as the greatest hunter in Greece, aimed precisely at the monster even in the midst of a chaotic battle.
Once again, Orion’s massive arm muscles take aim at the monster and he pulls back the bowstring… The next target is a child of Typhon, who is eagerly devouring humans with his two heads.
Phew. Krrrrung?!
Orion’s arrow, boasting of a 100% accuracy, pierced the leg of the beast monster.
Orthos, who seemed to have just discovered him, threw down the human he was holding in his mouth and ran towards him.
“This guy…!”
“Orion! Going that way! Be careful!”
The nearby heroes tried to stop the monster, but they were unable to stop it, leaving only raw wounds on its tough hide.
Although it is not as thick as the skin of the Nemean Lion, which is also Typhon’s child and brother, it is thick enough to withstand the attacks of even the most powerful heroes without even a scratch.
Krrrrrr-
“The leather is too thick! That guy isn’t even the Nemean Lion…!”
“Tch! Orion, I guess…”
“I know, everyone get out of the way! I’m going to kill that guy!”
It was able to pierce the leg because it was an arrow from Orion, the son of the sea god and a man of great strength.
The son of the sea god, who quickly figured this out, threw away his bow and took out the large club and shield he had on his back.
A battlefield where heroes and monsters mix.
On the other side, Chrysaor of the Golden Sword was fiercely attacking the heroes with his fangs and flying swords…
This is a place where the screams of humans swinging their weapons desperately while being torn apart by ferocious man-eating deer can be heard.
Orion held his club tightly as he looked into the eyes of the monster running towards him across the middle of the battlefield.
Krrrrrr!!!
“If he is the son of Typhon, he is the perfect prey for my exploits!”
A clash between Orthos, who shows his teeth and jumps up, and Orion, who swings his club at him.
* * *
At the Olympian palace, Apollo was looking down with his arms folded.
It was his father, Zeus, who received the sacrifices of the heroes who were trying to enter Mount Athos…
“Apollo, watch over them and help them as you see fit.”
“Okay, Father. But what do you mean by ‘moderately’?”
“That’s true. Gaia, who holds back the heroes from accomplishing their tasks, would never allow the expedition to reach Mount Athos safely.”
“then…?”
“You may intervene ‘within appropriate lines’ according to your judgment.”
Because Zeus had ordered him to inspect the expedition and help it as appropriate.
Hercules was born, but it was Zeus’s action out of concern that he might not become a great hero due to some unfortunate incident or be killed by Hera.
You need to train as many heroes as possible to increase the chances of getting a great hero that the gods can take to the war against Gigas.
To believe only in the newborn Hercules… as the king of the gods, it is necessary to consider the worst case scenario.
As Apollo was looking down at the clouds, recalling his conversation with Zeus, someone quietly sat down next to him.
It was his sister, Artemis, the goddess of the moon.
“Little brother. What’s going on here?”
“Brother. The heroes are being pushed back like this. Shouldn’t we help them?”

“But wouldn’t you have to pass a task of that level to become a great hero? I can’t just trust a newborn named Hercules, whom my father cherishes so much.”
“but…”
A beautiful goddess looking at the summer with a worried expression.
Apollo sighed as he noticed the affection and worry, sadness and impatience in her eyes.
His sister, Artemis, was a virgin goddess who swore chastity.
But… at some point, Apollo began to see her being friendly with a human.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to spare the lives of heroes who bravely confront Orthos?”
“…well.”
The only human male that the virgin goddess Artemis is close to, outside of her family.
No, technically he’s a demigod. That giant hunter’s father is Poseidon.
It may have been inevitable that Artemis, the goddess of hunting and archery, would become close to Greece’s greatest hunter.
But how dare you look down on a virgin goddess who swore an oath on the River Styx? I, Apollo, have my eyes wide open, and you dare not even know the subject…
“…I don’t really like it.”
“Huh? What did you say, brother?”
“It’s nothing. If that’s what you think, I’ll send a crow to help the humans a little.”
He was the son of his great-uncle Poseidon, who loved his children terribly, so he could not personally punish him and kill him.
But… what if it was an ‘accident’ that occurred while fighting a monster?
* * *
The area around the Kingdom of Macedonia has long been a bloody battlefield.
The battle between heroes and mythical monsters gathered from all over Greece gradually began to tilt towards the monsters.
Many monsters attacked humans first, but they too were heroes who had confidence in their abilities.
Those who received all kinds of training in the underworld through Thebes and those who developed their skills by hunting monsters in this world were not so easy.
but…
“Damn it! Do something about that flying sword… AAAAAH!”
“Whew… Is there anyone else with the bloodline of the God of Wind?”
Shh …
With scales strong enough to deflect the weapons of heroes, sharp fangs, and a body that is a threat in its own right…
The problem was Chrysaor, who controlled a golden sword that could fly freely through the sky.
“Ugh… Ugh!”
With another burst of screams, the hero who introduced himself as the son of Notus, the god of the south wind, was pierced through the stomach by a golden sword.
Who will stop that terrible monster while Orion deals with Orthos?
If the Thebans, who seemed accustomed to dealing with giant snakes, hadn’t distracted the creature, they might all have died here…
Chrysaor appears to be fine despite the continued battle, while the expedition members’ morale is gradually dropping.
Something flew over their heads.
Kaaaak- kak-
“What is this…?”
“This shadow is from the sky… Harpy?!”
Even in the midst of a battle with monsters, humans who glanced up at the sky and heard the powerful cry of a bird felt relieved.
A unique cry, a large black body, and a divine aura that resonates with everyone.
“It’s a crow, a sacred beast raised by the god Apollo!”
“The raven that was burned for bringing news of Cornice, princess of Thessaly?”
“The sun god watches over this place! Brilliant Phoebus Apollo!”
Apollo, who was once in love with Coronis, the princess of Thessaly.
He gave his white raven as a messenger to bring news to Coronis.
However, Coronis had an affair with a human named Ischis, and a crow immediately informed Apollo of this.
An enraged Apollo shot Coronis with his bow and killed him, but immediately regretted it and turned to look at the crow…
The white crow, facing the gaze filled with the power of the sun, had all of its feathers burnt black.
The divine beast of Apollo, transformed into a black crow, appeared here.
The sun god’s divine beast flew across the battlefield’s sky for a moment, then rushed straight to Chrysaor.
The crow, which looked like a single dot in the sky, grew larger and larger as it descended to the ground…
Soon, a giant beast that looked like several people combined passed by, scratching Chrysaor’s back with its claws.
Shhh – profit!
A snake monster in agony, spewing blood from its back.
The heroes who saw this sight strengthened their fighting spirit and charged at Chrysaor again.
The flying golden sword was also keeping the crows of the sky in check… and Orthos was being well defended by the expedition leader Orion.
If two people with the status of demigods are eliminated from the battlefield, the odds of victory are ours!
The rest of the monsters are just leftovers compared to the sphinxes, pythons, and great heroes trained in the underworld.
“Okay, we can win! We even made it through Thebes’ training camp! These guys are nothing compared to that…”
“Oh, Ares! Give strength to my sword!”
“Let’s kill them all quickly and help Orion…!”
If no other variables appear, the expedition will end in victory for the heroes.
