King of Underworld - Chapter 129

Fourth Task – Triton’s Sora (2)

Hercules looked at the one who appeared with the violent spray of water.

His entire body was covered in scales, and instead of feet he had something similar to a dolphin’s tail…

I could tell that he was a trustworthy person because I could feel the intense power in his blue eyes looking this way.

“Triton! That giant looks like a hunter pretending to be Hercules!”

“I’m glad you’re safe. I’ll take care of that guy, so you can go now.”

You just said that nymph was Triton. So is that weird guy the eldest son of the sea god?

‘First, I need to clear up the misunderstanding that I was trying to kidnap a nymph.’

“Are you really Triton, son of Poseidon?”

“If you are Triton who calls waves, then I am right. How dare you try to kidnap Nereus?”

“I swear on the River Styx that I did not try to kidnap a nymph!”

A serious misunderstanding among the Greeks is easier to resolve than you might think.

Swearing on the River Styx is something that everyone is reluctant to do. Therefore, forcing it on others is also extremely rude.

But if he were truly innocent, he could prove his innocence with the Oath on the River Styx.

“…Really? Then you are also Hercules…”

“Yes, that’s right. I was just tasked by Hera to bring Triton-sama Sora…”

As the Oath of the River Styx burst from Hercules’ mouth, Triton relented,

Taking advantage of this gap, Hercules explained his task.

“…Hmm. So you’re saying that Hera gave you such a task? You know how important Sora is to Triton… So you’re asking me to borrow it for a bit?”

“I will return it to you once I have confirmed it at Hera’s temple.”

Triton, who had been pondering for a moment, looked at Hercules with curiosity.

“Anyway, it was a misunderstanding. I think I was wrong, so I apologize.”

“……”

“But you really are that Hercules… hmm.”

“Do you have any questions for me?”

“I also know that you fought against the goddess Megara, one of the three goddesses of vengeance. Although she must have been very lenient, your abilities must have been so great that you could even fight against a god.”

As Triton stretches out his hand toward the sea, the waves respond with loud crashes.

The god before Hercules’ eyes is Poseidon’s heir and the one who rules over the ocean.

“I want to see the ability of the best among human heroes. Let’s just compare a few moves.”

Another chance to get closer to God!

This too is a challenge, a task, and an ordeal!

“…It is an honor! Hylas, stay away!”

“Huh. Try your best.”

Hercules charged at him with a ferocious smile and a club in his hand.

* * *

The great hero charged at the god in front of him with all his might.

First his steadfast friend… shock and horror, that is, the iron club was swung.

“…Ohhh!”

A blow aimed at the head.

Triton twisted his body slightly to avoid the blow, but the hero continued to pursue him.

The power that broke the monster’s regenerative power in the battle with Hydra. If you pour out hundreds or thousands of blows…!

Hoooow – Kwaaang!

Triton responded to all these attacks by dodging, creating a water barrier, and taking them with his body.

The moment the god’s solid body broke the iron club, scattering shards… Hercules threw his fist.

Fighting –

The hero and the god’s fists clashed in the air, creating a shockwave.

The sand around them flies away, and the waves coming towards them burst forth.

They continued to fight without paying attention to their surroundings. A faint smile appeared on Triton’s lips.

Before he knew it, the golden sword on Hercules’ waist was swinging wildly in all directions through his hands, and Triton’s claws were blocking each and every blow.

“Wow. That’s quite something. He’s not just a hero who relies on his strength and runs wild…”

Triton’s exclamation. But Hercules was not satisfied.

What he really wants to hear is not exclamations, but amazement and recognition.

Triton still doesn’t seem to have used his divine powers properly, at least once!

“Huk… Huh. How is Goddess Megaira so fast? You even dodged my attack at the end…”

“This is divine power… If you become a god too… you will be able to understand…”

More. Move faster. Cut through the wind and towards your goal.

Even though I don’t know what that divine power is, even though I don’t have any authority…!

Phew~!

“Haaap!”

Triton’s eyes widened as Hercules’ attacks grew more and more fierce as time passed.

In that moment, what caught his eye was Hercules’ fist flying towards his face.

With this, I’m sure I can reach that god.

As Hercules’ punch was about to reach Triton’s nose, the god’s smile deepened.

A deep blue energy bursts out with it.

– Paaaaat!

I was instantly thrown and flew away, rolling around in the sand.

A stinging pain was felt through his body reinforced with the River Styx.

Hercules, who realized that he was blown away by a strong energy just as he was about to punch her in the face, spits out the sand that had entered his mouth.

As expected, he is Poseidon’s heir. Although he is not one of the 12 Olympian gods…

Clap. Clap. Clap.

As Hercules got up again, he saw Triton looking at him and clapping.

A god who speaks in a slightly excited voice.

“As expected, you are the hero of prophecy! You have no rival among mortals. At this level, you won’t die even to that guy…”

“…That guy?”

“I’ll lend you my conch if you take care of one annoying task for me.”

“What is it?”

“To educate my half-brother, the Cyclops Polyphemus a little!”

Since you said they were half-brothers, he must be the son of the sea god, but Cyclops?

Are you talking about the one-eyed giants who are famous for their brute strength?

* * *

Polyphemus.

He is a demigod, half-human, born between the sea god Poseidon and a nymph.

Polyphemus originally loved the sea nymph Galatea and pursued her.

But she hated Polyphemus and fell in love with Acis, the son of Pan, the god of nature and herds.

“Ugh… ughhhh! We’re all dead!”

Kuuung!

“Khuuuk!”

“Gyaaaah! Polyphemus! Are you crazy?!”

Naturally, Polyphemus was angry and uprooted a huge rock and threw it at them…

Galatea quickly escaped to the bottom of the sea and survived, but Acis was hit by the rock and died.

From then on, they started throwing rocks at passing ships,

He lived a life of cannibalism.

There was bitterness in Triton’s eyes as he explained this anecdote to Hercules.

“My father, Poseidon, doesn’t pay much attention to his children. But he’s changed a little since that last time that scoundrel died.”

“…?”

“There was this bastard named Hallirothios. You don’t have to know him. Anyway, it was around that time that my father started telling me to discipline myself a little.”

I have never heard of a man named Halirotios, but did Poseidon turn a blind eye to his son’s misdeeds?

So he asked his son Triton to take care of his younger brothers…

“Should I stop that Cyclops named Polyphemus from eating any more cannibals?”

“Yes, and stop throwing rocks at passing ships. Don’t worry about the retaliation that comes from harming the son of the sea god.”

“I heard that Poseidon loves his children very much.”

“You really don’t have to worry about your father’s anger. As long as he doesn’t kill you or blind you or something like that, he’ll let it go.”

Hercules took a deep breath and collected his thoughts.

If you educate Polyphemus, a demigod and son of Poseidon, to stop his misdeeds, you can receive Triton’s conch.

By the way, education. If it’s education…

For a moment, Hercules’ memories drifted back to the past.

“Ahhh! Mr. Chiron! I was wrong!”

“You still have the energy to talk? You’re not reflecting at all.”

“Ahhhhh! Please stop hitting me!”

Crash! Crash!

“Hmm… Before coming here, you were acting up in this world? Alright, get down.”

“Huh? What’s wrong with beating up a guy you don’t like to see… Kyaak!”

“Get down!!!”

No matter how much I think about it, the only thing I remember is his teacher Chiron teaching him with a whip.

Of course, I tried to persuade him verbally, because his body that fell into the River Styx was not hit by any blows.

It wasn’t like that for other aspiring heroes.

Chiron’s teachings included strict education on character, including beatings and various corporal punishments.

Wait, if you think about it, wouldn’t you be able to do that too?

If they don’t listen, I’ll just beat them to educate them… that’s all.

Triton spoke to Hercules, who was lost in thought.

“Are you done with your worries? If you don’t want to go to Polyphemus…”

“I will do it.”

“Oh. So you’re confident you can take on a Cyclops. Very good. I’ll tell you where he lives.”

Hercules heard from Triton, who smiled contentedly, the location of the island where Polyphemus lived.

That he lived in a cave, tending sheep, and that he lived somewhat apart from the other Cyclops.
