King of Underworld - Chapter 124

Second task – Kill the Hydra (3)

Hercules, constantly regenerating and dodging the oncoming Hydra’s attacks.

The hero’s mind was busy thinking of a way to stop Hydra’s regeneration.

‘If burning it doesn’t work… If you pierce it with something, it won’t regenerate.’

Even the most immortal monster would die if you buried it in dirt after hammering numerous sticks into its body and pressing it down with rocks.

however…

‘Have I ever retreated this far?’

Hercules glanced around and realized his location.

I rolled on the ground and took several steps backwards to avoid the Hydra’s venom.

On the other hand, a monster that approaches while regenerating even if its head explodes.

The heroes and monsters were so contrasted.

A clear enough difference to tell at a glance who is being hunted now.

Bam-

He gritted his teeth without realizing it.

Is this… right? Even if I kill that guy, will I be able to repay the humiliation I’ve suffered now?

How could a coward who runs away in fear of the Hydra’s venom challenge the position of a god?

Isn’t the idea of ​​burning and burying someone in a pile of dirt out of fear of their regenerative power something that only other heroes would think of?

If you don’t confront such monsters head on, you’ll only end up further and further away from Olympus!

‘Yes, the very idea of ​​using a shortcut was a mistake.’

Kkuddeuk-

Hercules gripped the iron club he had been swinging roughly with one hand until now with both hands.

Even steel distorts and screams under the power of his grip, but he pays no attention and stares at the Hydra before him.

All humans who achieved the task of using their wisdom to outwit monsters and kill them through trickery were praised as heroes.

But the one he is challenging is God. In order to become the God who looks down on everyone from above…!

“…I’ll kill you.”

The monster’s regenerative powers are shattered head-on.

Hercules swung his club, remembering the Nemean lion that had finally met its death at his hand.

Unlike before, when he had been swinging his club cautiously for fear of splashing the bastard’s bodily fluids, he struck with all his might.

Phew! Boom!

‘If there is poison in the body fluid, instead of avoiding it, just blow it away with the wind pressure!’

One of Hydra’s heads was blown off, but not a drop of fluid was sprayed in his direction.

Hercules gains confidence and continues swinging his club.

From left to right. From right to left. Repeat the same powerful blow over and over again.

Until when? Of course, until the monster in front of me dies and can’t regenerate!

Whoosh! Phew! Chooah!

“Hh …

One hit, another hit.

Hercules’ body was the best of mankind, strengthened by Hera’s milk and the power of the River Styx.

That’s why even if you keep striking with all your might, you won’t get tired at all.

And all his nerves are focused on destroying the enemy in front of him.

Instead of killing the enemy in front of you, you completely crush them with a whirlwind of attacks.

Whether it’s a huge mountain, a monster, or poison, he just crushes and passes through anything that stands in his way.

“Let’s see who can regenerate faster or who can destroy you faster!!!”

-Eww?!

One of the Hydra’s heads burst open.

Played again.

Hydra’s two heads burst out at the same time.

Played again.

Three, no, four heads were torn off.

Play again…

One of the monster’s heads spits out venom that attempts to melt humans.

But Hercules’ club blew his head off first.

Their fight continued for two whole days.

The venomous hydra’s fluid and Hercules’ sweat drip onto the floor, creating a cloud of flying debris.

Monsters of regeneration and heroes of destruction.

In this endless cycle of shackles, it was the monster who first surrendered.

The Hydra, whose head keeps exploding, turns and tries to run away, somehow trying to get away from this fearsome human.

But Hercules’ club was faster.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch!

The massive Hydra’s size is gradually reduced.

The monster’s regenerative powers are unable to cope with the wounds on its body that continue to burst.

And in the end…

Phew! -Phuhwaaaaaaaah!!!

A desperate blow with all his might blew away the Hydra’s massive body.

The entire torso, including the nine heads.

“…Did you get hurt?”

A venomous water snake with endless regenerative powers.

He was defeated by Hercules, who possessed unending strength.

* * *

Hercules sat on the ground and slowly removed the Nemean lion skin from his body.

The most difficult thing about killing a Hydra is its venom.

Even Hercules had to fight for two days while worrying about the Hydra’s venom.

The hero shook his head as he looked at the green poison that was soaking through the skin of the Nemean lion.

If it weren’t for the training he received from the goddess Megara in the afterlife, he might have died here.

“Hoo…”

Neither Bellerophon nor Cadmus could harm his body, but the power of the gods could easily hurt him…

This was an experience where, like other heroes, he had to learn techniques and desperately block and dodge attacks.

Hercules’ duel with the goddess raised his level several levels higher, and this is the result.

While he was taking a moment to catch his breath and look around, he heard someone’s footsteps.

When I turned my head, I saw dozens of soldiers looking terrified at the sight of the ground dug up and turned upside down and the traces of battle.

“Uh… uh-uh!”

“What is this…!”

“Huh?! Soldiers? Who sent them?”

The soldiers stammered in response to his question.

“Uh… We are under the command of His Majesty the King of Argos… At the request of the citizens who heard a loud noise here…”

“Ah, it was a commotion while I was dealing with Hydra, Chrysaor, and Lamia.”

“What. What. What. What?!”

“I blew up the Hydra with my club, and if you go that way, there are corpses on the ground for Chrysaor and Lamia.”

The Argive soldiers were dumbfounded by his words.

What is this madman talking about? Not just the venom-spewing Hydra, but also the golden-sworded Chrysaor and the infamous Lamia near Athens?

But the traces of a great battle that anyone could see, the beads of sweat on his forehead,

The soldiers who saw the huge, muscular body that seemed like it could even kill monsters and the skin of the Nemean lion covered in green venom were half in doubt.

“Hey, isn’t that green fluid on the floor a sign of a hydra’s rampage?”

“Did some divine punishment come down here? Could that torn piece of shit be the Hydra’s…!”

“My goodness. Aren’t you Heracles, the one who slew the Nemean lions? I have a relative who is a priest of the goddess Hera…”

“What am I looking at… Is the Hydra really dead?”

“Then is that golden sword on his waist really Chrysaor’s…?”

“…Anyway, I’m busy, so I’ll be going now.”

Hercules left them behind and picked up the skin of the Nemean lion and moved.

He ignored all the talk from the soldiers who revered him, saying that he was a great hero or that he must be the incarnation of the Olympian gods.

“Do you know what God is? Do you think he is just a perfect being with a strong and immortal body?”

He is so strong, and his accomplishments are more than enough.

“A deity exists to maintain the balance of the world. If you simply have that kind of mindset, no matter how many great achievements you make… you will never become a god.”

Why did the Lord of the Underworld say that he could not become a god?

Wouldn’t this overwhelming power alone be enough to qualify as a god?

The great hero was still unknown.

* * *

In the end, Hercules killed the Hydra.

Plus Chrysaor with the Golden Sword and Lamia who ate children near Athens.

“Hades. I brought Lamia.”

“Thank you, Thanatos.”

Lamia, who came to the afterlife like that, naturally met me.

Lamia is kneeling on the floor of the audience room, trembling with fear.

A quick glance at her eyes revealed many emotions.

Anger and fear, resentment and sadness towards the gods… As expected, he had a grudge so great that even the river of oblivion could not pass through it.

“Lift your head, Queen of Libya.”

“W… King?! Hehe… Am I still the queen?”

“Look at your body again. Is the lower half of that snake still there?”

Hera’s curse was lifted with Lamia’s death.

To be exact… the curse remained on the corpse, but the soul that came to the afterlife was freed from the form of a half-human, half-monster.

“I’ve eaten hundreds of children…? Hehe… What kind of punishment will you give me? Tartarus…?”

“I know that you were punished by Hera and became like that.”

“……”

“I will take into account the fact that you were cursed by Hera to live a life stained with blood in exchange for loving Zeus. I will also take into account the fact that you, a mere mortal, would not have been able to refuse Zeus.”

The price for her affair with Zeus was Hera’s curse.

She lived a miserable life, stealing and eating children born to other women and seducing men to death.

But I couldn’t just show mercy.

“The number of children you have eaten is enormous. Even if it is because of Hera’s curse, you must pay the price.”

“…Uh-huh-huh…”

“It was a cursed spirit, not of your own free will, so I will erase your memories with the blessing of oblivion.”

Lamia’s eyes turn blank at the gesture of the Goddess of Oblivion.

But since I have committed a sin, I must pay the price. If I wash away my sins for hundreds of years, will I be allowed to reincarnate?

Lamia leaves, and the goddess Lethe approaches me.

“Chrisaor, as I said…”

“Yes. I am seeing the goddess Medusa. Like Pegasus, she seems to follow her mother’s lead well.”

“I guess we’ll have to send him to the hero training center soon. The golden sword that flies in the sky is gone now, but his body will be enough for the heroes.”

Monsters often did not feel at ease even after death.

The Nemean Lion and the Chimera were also in the training grounds of the underworld… and although Bellerophon was disgusted by it, it was necessary.

Chrysaor will soon be in the same situation as them.

“Hades. But shouldn’t we stop Hercules’ labors at this point?”

“…?”

“There are conflicting opinions even among the gods of Olympus. He is already a great hero who has defeated two of Typhon’s children, so isn’t he already a hero of prophecy?”

“How did Hera react?”

“It is said that Hermes, the god of the underworld, looked very angry when Zeus’ illegitimate son successfully completed his tasks and killed the monsters.”

Now that the hypothesis that Hercules was the hero of the prophecy has gained traction, it will be quite difficult for Hera to kill him.

Since I told you not to kill me as punishment in the first place, you’re just going to give me a bunch of difficult tasks.

But Gaia blocked Hercules’ path to kill the Hydra.

There might be a chance that he will continue to be disturbed.

“It’s too late anyway… Even if Gigas escaped the eyes of the gods, if it were Hercules…”

Should I kidnap Gigas and throw one at him?
