King of Underworld - Chapter 101

Mount Athos Expedition – (4)

Orion, son of Poseidon, god of the sea, thought as he wrestled with Orthus, who was rushing at him again.

‘If we continue like this, we will win. If the crow god helps the other heroes capture Chrysaor, and I kill Orthos…’

Orthos, the son of Typhon, is the first rival he has ever met in his life.

Two dog heads constantly try to bite him, and the snake head on the tail goes for his leg whenever there is an opening.

And what about the hide? It boasted a thicker coat than any monster or beast Orion had ever hunted.

Krrrr! Kiing!

“Whew… You’re starting to lose your strength, you punk.”

Still, it wasn’t to the extent that he, a demigod and giant hunter, couldn’t win.

Although Orion was bleeding from the bite wounds all over his body, and his body was in pain after receiving the monster’s forelegs…

Because it was better than Orthos’s condition, where he had to fight Orion with his leg pierced by an arrow.

Hehehe…

He looked down at the child of Typhon, who was lying on the floor with his tongue sticking out, gushing a large amount of blood.

The creature’s dull hide looks ugly. Its once glossy fur has become tattered from Orion’s ceaseless beatings.

Soon the son of the sea god will be able to catch monsters and achieve great feats.

If he hadn’t been entangled with Apollo’s sister, that is.

The moment Orion staggered toward the exhausted monster to strike the final blow…

The crow, the sacred animal of the god Apollo, has flown this way.

A crow that had been flying straight towards Orion suddenly spread its wings and soared near him…

And Chrysaor’s golden sword, which had been chasing the crow fiercely, flew towards Orion without changing direction.

“what…!”

Phew-

Orion turned his head belatedly, gasping for breath, but he already felt sharp metal digging into his body…

Orion sensed the end at the feel of the cold golden sword thrusting deep into his side.

“No! Orion!”

“Damn it…! Focus on the monster ahead!”

“I’ll be there soon… Chew!”

He is the son of the sea god. If he had been treated well by the doctor, he could have saved his life, but this is a battlefield.

With battles between heroes and monsters taking place everywhere, it’s safe to say that there’s no time to worry about any of them.

Orion, who had come to this point in his thoughts, glared at Orthos with all his might.

He is already finished. He has long since given up hope of living. Then…!

“You would be a good companion to cross the Acheron River.”

As he lifted the club with the last of his strength, the wound on his side opened wider, causing excruciating pain.

But immediately after, the blow aimed at the monster’s head went straight ahead without wavering.

Phew- Phew!

It was the moment when Orthus, the son of Typhon and the one who devoured countless people, fell into eternal sleep.

But the hero who had accomplished this amazing feat stumbled and fell to one knee.

“Ugh… ugh.”

Cackle! Cackle!

The cries of the divine beast heard from the sky tickle the ears of the hero who is near death.

The feeling that everything around me is slowing down. Is this a kaleidoscope?

The black crow is the sacred animal of the god Apollo. It is a loyal animal and subordinate who only follows the orders of the sun god.

So I believed that by dispersing Chrysaor’s sword, I would help the expedition…

If I suddenly changed direction in front of him, he could not have predicted that the golden sword following him would stab me.

But he didn’t have any particular grudge against the sun god… why?

A goddess flashed through the mind of the troubled hero.

Artemis, the goddess of the moon, became friends with him as they shared the same hobby of hunting.

Her brother was the god Apollo.

Ah. Ha. Haha… As expected, getting involved with gods doesn’t end well…

Orion, who realized that fact, smiled bitterly at the feeling of emptiness that was washing over him.

Could it be because of the wound on my side that my body is not moving right now? Or is it because of the emptiness that feels like a part of my heart is empty?

Despite my body growing cold, I have no desire to live.

‘I don’t know… I guess. I’ll have to continue… thinking about it in the afterlife…’

Even as the hero knelt down and fell, a giant scorpion monster approached him and stung him with its poisonous stinger…

He met his death without moving at all.

* * *

Above the clouds, the palace of Olympus.

The beautiful moon goddess was glaring at her brother as if she was going to kill him.

But the god Apollo just shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.

“Killing Orion was definitely ordered by my brother.”

“You may not know, little brother, but that’s just how battlefields are. A moment of carelessness can lead to death.”

“Why did you kill the human I care about?!”

“Why would I kill that human? What would I gain from it?”

The moon goddess glared at the sun god even more fiercely.

The crow that was luring the golden sword turned in front of Orion, which must have been under the influence of the sun god.

But I couldn’t press him hard.

There was no clear evidence that he had controlled the gods, and her brother’s motive for killing Orion was unclear.

If you really didn’t kill Orion, I’d like to ask you to swear on the River Styx…

It is extremely rude to force an oath from one’s own god. Even Zeus, the king of the gods and their own father, does not force an oath from the River Styx.

“Why are you so angry over the death of just one human? And even if I did kill him, what’s that to you?”

“Orion…”

“Are you saying that that mortal is more precious than this brother?”

A suppressed sound of anger leaks out from between the lips that have been chewed until they bleed.

That’s right. It’s ridiculous to argue with the sun god over a mere mortal… Even though they were both members of the same twelve gods, the multi-talented Apollo was more powerful than her.

“Profit! I’m going to go now!”

“Ah, Artemis.”

Apollo catches her as she tries to run away somewhere.

For a moment, the eyes of the sun god who was looking at the moon goddess turned cold.

“Don’t give them too much affection.”

“……!”

“Aren’t you a goddess who swore chastity? If you bother with a mortal like me, you’ll only end up causing yourself more mental distress.”

* * *

This is where the Mount Athos expedition and the monsters fight fiercely.

Orthos and Orion. As the two of them met death side by side and fell to the ground, the situation changed again.

The exploits of heroes from Thebes, who had extensive experience fighting against dead heroes and monsters.

Thanks to them, the monsters around them were gradually cleared out, and accordingly, the burden on Chrysaor of the Golden Sword increased.

Choaaaak-

Another achievement was the first time a long wound was made through the scales of a giant snake.

Unlike the previous attacks that had ended at best in the line of fire, this was the first meaningful injury he had created.

Red blood spurted everywhere, and the monster, half the size of a human body, howled in pain and rage.

Shaaaaah!!!

“The sword is finally going in! Focus on that side!”

“Damn it, Orion…”

“Let’s inflict some more wounds while the crow is in control of the flying golden sword!”

The number of heroes killed by Chrysaor was not small, but the number of monsters killed was also countless.

On the floor covered in red blood, Orthos, the child of Typhon, was also seen.

What Chrysaor sees, who has not only great strength but also a certain amount of wisdom…is…a large number of humans running here.

The sound of a horn resonating with him and the thick smell of metal.

Phew-

“Huh. Huh. Reinforcements from the Kingdom of Macedon!”

“The army from the kingdom has arrived, hold on a little longer! No, let’s kill them all here!”

“Glory to the gods! Let us honor the dead Orion with the corpses of monsters!”

I see an army approaching from afar, carrying swords and shields. It seems like they have mobilized the entire army of the kingdom, and their numbers are by no means small.

Heroes cheering and monsters grunting and baring their teeth.

Chrysaor, realizing that the battle situation has turned unfavorable, uses all his strength to push away the surrounding heroes.

The expedition members retreated in fear at the sight of the huge, pulsating body, but his goal was not combat, but escape.

Swish-

“Hey… Wait a minute. This guy’s running away!”

“Through the cracks in the earth…! But chasing after them…”

“Damn it, I guess I’ll just have to let it go. It can’t go underground.”

Chrysaor, despite being a large creature, moves surprisingly quickly.

The monster that bit the golden sword it was controlling and disappeared into the ground looked like a defeated soldier.

The Macedonian army arrived just in time, and the monsters, exhausted from their battles with the heroes, were overwhelmed by the waves of troops.

Unless it’s a monster as powerful as Chrysaor or Orthos, it’s a category that can be dealt with with just the power of the army and other heroes.

Oh my! It’s so cute-

With the help of Apollo and the efforts of the Theban heroes, most of the monsters were dealt with, but the damage to the expedition was severe.

Many heroes, including Orion, were killed or injured, and there were many who were crippled.

But Orthos, the son of Typhon, died and Chrysaor fled in vain,

Since the other monsters have been exterminated, wouldn’t it be considered half a success?
