Chapter 095

Quaaaang!

With the heavy impact felt in the hand, the white snow of Niflheim piled up on the floor turned into steam and rose in all directions.

The snow around us was melting, revealing the barren land of Niflheim.

“You’re talented too.”

I said, looking at the jet black window that appeared between me and Hades.

Vidente, the main weapon of Hades, the god of the underworld. A black energy was forming on the two-pronged spear.

A spear that exudes the energy of death, as if it would suck all your life out of you just by touching it.

Even after being attacked with all his might using the hammer of Hephaestus, Vident maintained its appearance unscathed.

It was natural.

The weapon of none other than Hades, a high-ranking god.

No matter how divine the hammer was, there was no way it could have been broken by an attack wielded by a human other than Hephaestus himself.

“You’re so cocky.”

Hades, bound to Gleipnir, frowned.

The annoyance was evident on Hades’ face as he spoke as if spitting out each word.

As if an insignificant mosquito had bitten the tip of his toe.

Even though he was tied to Gleipnir and stopped moving for a while.

When Hades gestured, Vident flew through the air and aimed at my neck.

“Cheet!”

He hurriedly swung the Dragon Slayer and blocked Vident.

Go go go go!!

As Vident scratched the blade, sparks flew out.

It was an incredible power.

I felt with my body that I couldn’t just block it.

I twisted the sword and changed the path of the bidant aiming for my neck.

Kagak!

A spear with a distorted orbit split the air.

If I hadn’t quickly tilted my head to avoid it, my face would have been seriously hurt.

My wrist is tingling.

“Hmm… .”

It’s not a high-ranking god for nothing.

‘Damn you.’

I thought it was an opportunity to make some kind of impact.

However, Hades blocked all my moves with a single wave of his hand.

“That hammer and sword… . “You are the one who killed Hephaestus.”

The corners of Hades’ mouth rose as he looked at me with interest.

“Zeus has been looking for you with his eyes on, I never thought you would be in a place like this.”

“Would you believe me if I said no?”

“I had a vague idea when I saw that shield, but he really killed Hephaestus…” . “That shield you’re holding must be Aegis, right?”

You’re quick-witted too.

Hades looked me up and down.

“Not only is it not enough to kill a god, you can even use some of the god’s power… . “You’re an interesting person.”

Even though he was tied up in Gleipnir, Hades did not lose his composure.

As if he knew I couldn’t kill him.

“Who commissioned that shield? Apollon? Or is it Zeus?”

Instead of answering, I covered myself with a shield and approached the guy.

“I don’t want to answer this. I get it.”

Bident flew in the air to stop me.

Vident aiming for my side.

In an instant, a window disappears into the blind spot of my vision and stabs me, aiming for my body.

I blocked the incoming spear as if it was trying to pierce my body.

Kagagak!

The spear grazed the surface of the shield, making an eerie sound.

“Ugh!”

Even though it was blocked with Aegis, the impact was still felt.

If it had been an ordinary shield, he would not have already been alive.

“You can even block this?”

Hades’ eyes continued to focus on me.

“Are you really human? “This is unbelievable.”

It was a familiar look in his eyes that he had seen many times in his past life.

-Be mine. I will give you everything you wish for. If you want, I will also give you God’s treasure. How do you feel? To become my apostle.

Hades from my previous life stretched out his hand and said he wanted me.

Hades, who said he liked the smell of death coming from my body, tried to appease me even before I went on my final expedition.

Hades was showing me the look in his eyes at that time.

“The strong smell of death is coming from your body.”

“… … .”

“I don’t know who asked you to do this, but if you’ve already made it this far, haven’t you already satisfied your employer?”

Hades looked relaxed even while tied up in Gleipnir.

The guy’s expression was calm, as if he could break free of this bondage at any time.

On the other hand, I am.

“Whoo, whoo.”

Just by blocking the window a few times, I was already out of breath.

My heart is tightening.

The fur stands up.

Just the look and energy of Hades looking at me made my skin itch.

I forced my trembling body to calm down and focused my mind.

‘You can’t collapse here.’

After hunting Hephaestus and obtaining several items, I became much stronger than before.

‘It’s still not enough.’

I realized this the moment I faced Hades.

Aegis, Gleipnir, Hammer of Hephaestus.

If I hadn’t had any of the three, I would have lost my head and fallen to the floor by now.

The gap between upper-level gods and middle-level gods was truly enormous.

‘Just using the Vident while tied up… .’

Meanwhile, Bident continued to target my vital points.

It felt like they were testing how far I could stop them.

“Among my apostles, there is no one who could deal with Baidant for this long. If you lower your sword and surrender even now, I will make you an apostle of my world. You will rule this land instead of the Queen of Niflheim. “How are you feeling?”

Instead of answering, I heard a pause.

“Don’t be rude.”

Even if my heart beats so fast that it feels like it’s going to explode at any moment, and my hands feel so numb that I can no longer hold a shield, I can’t come under God.

How does a wolf get under a wild dog cub?

“Even if my soul rots, I have no intention of going under you.”

“You’re so cocky. “If you don’t want to come under me alive, I have no choice but to kill you and make you mine.”

Demonic energy rose from Hades’ body.

The black energy of death was filled with his spear, Vident.

Bident flew in with the momentum to pierce even the Aegis.

I gathered all the strength I had from breastfeeding and raised my shield.

That attack must be blocked at all costs.

If you break through here, you die.

The hand holding the shield gained strength.

Vidente, which contains the black energy of the Reaper who leads everything in the world to death, is targeting my lifeline.

Tuquaaang!

The fast-flying spear hit the shield directly and was pushed back.

“Kwaaaak!”

I felt a hot pain, as if my arm had been broken.

The pain felt like my bones and muscles were on fire.

Nevertheless, he did not let go of his grip on the shield.

This is my lifeline.

The moment you miss this, everything ends.

Even though it feels like it’s going to melt, my grip becomes stronger.

The more I did it, the more intense the pain became.

“Keuuuuuuu!”

Spears continued to come from all directions, trying to pierce the shield.

As I blocked the repeated attacks, the capella embedded in the center of the shield began to glow.

‘done.’

Quang!

An unpleasantly pitch-black force flew towards Hades.

[Aigis – SSS level]

[Effect 2: Some of the damage received can be saved as energy and used for attacks.]

The damage accumulated while blocking Vidant’s attack with Aegis was fired at Hades.

But did he even notice?

As soon as I turned my shield on Hades, he retrieved his bident and blocked my attack.

“This almost got me into trouble.”

It was a strike that I risked everything on, but to him it was just a slightly annoying attack.

“shit… .”

I glared at Hades.

Hades made eye contact with me and a smile appeared on his lips.

“What a pure soul. I really like it. “I want you more than that half-hearted goddess.”

Hades grinned, retrieved his bidant, pulled out the tip of Gleipnir’s sword from the ground, and freed Gleipnir.

“If you can’t quit, shouldn’t you just loosen it?”

Eventually, the Gleipnir that bound him was released.

‘shit.’

The intimidating feeling of Hades’ body trotting along made my body tremble regardless of my will.

It was a completely different feeling of trembling than when I faced Athena.

The fundamental fear of death.

My body reacted reflexively.

But it doesn’t matter.

Now I don’t have to deal with the author.

I said, looking into space.

“I think we’ve done enough demonstrations like this.”

As soon as I finished speaking, light fell from the sky.

Kwaaaaang!

A goddess wearing a helmet and holding a straight spear stood between me and Hades.

The reason why I risked my life to shoot the reflected damage collected in the Aegis at Hades.

The purpose was to show it to Athena, who was hiding in secret, to confirm that the item was genuine.

“Good job.”

I knew that the hardships did not mean that I had fought Hades well.

Aegis.

It probably means that you made your weapon well.

“Athena?”

Hades frowned at the sudden appearance of the Goddess of Wisdom.

“Uncle, let’s stop here.”

“You mean you were that kid’s employer?”

“It’s similar. “Because I requested it.”

“Then you couldn’t have killed Hephaestus… .”

“You got that completely wrong. “You already killed Hephaestus before meeting me.”

Hades kept his mouth shut at Athena’s words.

I felt that her words were sincere.

I caught God without God’s help.

The moment I heard those words, that human soul became even more greedy.

“The shield he’s holding is the one you requested.”

“that’s right.”

“Does that mean that child is not your apostle?”

“That’s also true.”

Possessive.

What Hades felt at that moment was pure possessiveness.

I wanted it.

Apart from Hell, I wanted to explore, dig into, and unravel the soul of that human being.

Not only did he kill Hephaestus, he used his equipment to create a mythical weapon.

Moreover, even though he was much weaker than the god of the underworld himself, he withstood multiple attacks and stood on his own two feet like that.

Even the strict and proud Athena went all the way to this cold underworld to save interest.

Everything was a series of surprises.

“Then get out of the way. “I have to make that child mine.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that?”

“what?”

“This ability only has value if you live it.”

“You’re cocky. Does this mean I can’t take advantage of interest?”

“It’s similar. “If you lose your body and become a dead person with only your soul remaining, you will have to cross the five rivers of the underworld.”

Five rivers.

After crossing all five rivers, including the River Styx, they lose their memories of life and become the subjects of Hades.

It meant that a human with the power of Hephaestus would become nothing more than an ordinary soul.

Athena couldn’t just watch that happen.

As soon as he heard the story of Reginleif who came to his pantheon, he rushed to Niflheim.

-I found Capella, so I asked him to come as quickly as possible.

Capella.

The most fundamental ingredient for making Aegis.

The nurse who hid her father, Zeus.

Hearing that he had found her, he hurried to Niflheim, where he saw Dojin clashing with Hades.

I thought for a while about why Hades exists and what the shield in his hand is.

There was a need to be cautious.

Athena’s goal is to become a god of a new era who can stand above the existing gods.

To that end, Hades was one of the gods that should not be hastily confronted.

A god so strong that even Zeus was once afraid of him.

However, the moment she saw Dojin blocking his attack with his shield, Athena realized.

‘Aegis!’

He successfully created the shield she requested in just one day.

My body heated up.

There is now a means to get one step closer to your goal.

In human hands.

‘He is someone you should never miss.’

After completing all the calculations in her head, she hurriedly put on her equipment and went down.

Even if it meant conflicting with Hades, I had to get this man.

Dojin’s potential is truly endless.

“Please take it.”

Athena saw Dojin handing her a shield with trembling hands.

This man ultimately kept his words.

Did you say that humans are not to be trusted?

‘This person might be different.’

“I will heal your wounds quickly. “Please wait.”

Athena said as she looked at Hades, who was facing her.

“If you take this man’s soul despite my warning, you will have to fight me.”

“… … .”

Hades’ eyes landed on Dojin standing behind Athena.

“Even if I take you, you won’t be able to use it properly?”

“Yes, I said so.”

At that moment, a spark flew out in the middle.
