Chapter 688: The God of Death and the Hell Corps
Back when the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom was still the Legend Guild, there was a woman that all of the guild members recognized and praised as the best dealer of the guild. That fact did not change even after they became the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
She could deal high amounts of damage, had genius gaming sense, and a merciless sword that people started to call her ‘Goddess of the Battlefield Ascar’. That very same Ascar, or Da-Sol, had received the Asura’s Successor’s Ring from Minhyuk.
After receiving the item, Ascar left not long after. She wanted to become stronger so that she could protect the things and people that were precious to Minhyuk.
This was the quest that she had received back then:
[Class Change Quest: True Asura.]
Ascar had a lot of doubts and confusion when she saw the Class Change Quest: True Asura. She had already changed her class before, so she could not understand why there was another class change quest.
Soon after, Ascar found out that it was a linked quest. Armed with that knowledge, she wasted no time in trying to clear the quest. As she continued the quest, she eventually went to Hell and hunted the creatures in that realm. By doing so, she became a very famous existence in Hell and was eventually dubbed as the God of Assassins by the beings that lived there.
In the past, Ascar had undergone a trial that Asura himself had led. This trial allowed her to transfer to the Asura Class. As it turned out, the final quest in the True Asura quest was to kill him. Only by killing Asura would Ascar become the True Asura.
[You have completed the Class Change Quest: True Asura.]
[Your class will be upgraded to an Absolute Demigod Class!]
[Your HP and MP have recovered to 100%!]
[Only those that do not have the ‘God Class’ will be able to change to the Absolute Demigod Class!]
[All of your stats and skills will change after acquiring the Absolute Demigod Class!]
[Your level will drop by -200 twenty four hours after changing your class to the Absolute Demigod Class!]
[The Absolute God Class Asura is Hell’s Killing Fiend!]
[The Absolute God Class Asura is the object of fear for all of the beings in hell!]
The Absolute Demigod Class had distinct differences from the Absolute God Class. All of the Absolute God Class players had the God Class first. That was not the case for the Absolute Demigod Class. Whether one had a normal class, a legendary class, or a hidden class, they could grab the opportunity to add the title of Absolute in their name.
Ascar also guessed, ‘It will measure one’s force.’
She was right. It measured one’s force and strength. The Absolute Demigod Class was completely different from the Absolute God Class. As long as a human was strong enough to climb to the ranks of a demigod, or a demigod that was strong enough to climb the ranks of the Absolute Demigod, they could get this class.
‘Minhyuk.’
Because Ascar was in hell, she was aware of what was happening in middle earth and why the army in hell was headed there. Back when she hugged Minhyuk after Crystal’s Fashion Show, Ascar made a vow.
‘This time, I will be the one to protect you.’
Ascar glared sharply at the Hell Corps while her silver hair fluttered beautifully behind her. Then, the notifications rang in her ears.
[The Absolute Demigod Class Asura is Hell’s Killing Fiend.]
[The Absolute Demigod Class Asura will showcase far stronger powers against beings from hell!]
[Against beings from hell, your attack power will increase by 50%!]
Ascar brandished her greatsword while saying, “Hell’s Infernal Sword.”
[An additional 2,800% attack will be stacked on the cruel and merciless sword. It will bring despair to everyone within a twenty meter radius.]
Dozens of bloody red swords stretched out from Ascar’s greatsword fiercely and slaughtered all of the enemies that rushed towards her. Her attack was also increased dramatically, since she was fighting against beings from hell. Thousands of enemies that rushed towards her disappeared with one swing of her sword. She did not stop there. Ascar immediately flew up and sent several bloody red greatsword lights, as well as several bloody beads at the center of the Hell Corps.
“Asura’s Realm.”
Fwoooooooooooooosh—
Bloody energy appeared and engulfed the Hell Corps, sweeping them away in waves.
“Kihyeeeeeeeeck!”
“Kyahaaaaaaack!”
“Keuaaaaaack!”
“Keheoooooook!”
Even though they were already dead, blood, albeit rotten, dripped down their eyes, noses and ears.
[Asura’s world of fighting and carnage has unfolded.]
[All of your stats will decrease by 20% and your movements will be restricted.]
[Asura’s great power has bound your body.]
[Your attack success rate as well as physical and magical defense will decrease by 30%.]
Ascar charged into the huge Asura’s Realm that unfolded at the center of the Hell Corps. In response, the Hell Warriors in rusty plate armor and wielding rusty swords while riding on top of the Hell Werewolves charged at her. The level of these Hell Warriors were at least at Level 600. Ascar kept on running, twisting her body to avoid the swords that aimed at her body. Then, she immediately countered with her greatsword.
[The Passive Skill: Six Greatswords has been triggered!]
Asura was a being with six arms, hence he could wield six swords. Because of that, Ascar was also bestowed the same power. The difference was, Ascar could deal six strikes by just swinging her sword once. However, in return, the damage of each strike would be reduced by 50%.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!
Even if that was the case, the Hell Warriors looked completely weak in Ascar’s eyes. Her attacks were enough to burn into ashes, causing them to disappear into the wind.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!
All of the enemies that Ascar passed by would instantly turn into ashes that scattered in the wind. Ascar was literally a killing fiend inside Asura’s Realm. And that was not all.
Ping—
In the midst of her assault, Ascar sustained an injury to her arm. However, bloody beads formed above the enemies that she attacked, which she absorbed into her body. The scariest thing about Asura was the fact that he could immediately recover the injuries that he sustained. This terrifying ability was also displayed here by Ascar.
“Blood Tempest.”
[The God of Death is furious.]
“...?!”
“...?!”
Henry and the mercenaries were shocked and confused from the sudden God’s Voice that rang in their ears.
‘The God of Death is furious?’
[Furious at the fact that an unqualified bastard dared to wield his power, he sent his own envoys to fight on his behalf.]
Despite her face flushing red from embarrassment, Ascar still continued to use the God’s Voice.
“...”
“...”
The mercenaries were thrown into confusion, after all, the voice that suddenly rang in their ears was enough to throw anyone into panic.
Henry, who was also listening to the God’s Voice, thought, ‘What the hell is this?’
Then, right in front of the advancing mercenaries, something surprising happened.
[The envoy that rules the dead has created his own kingdom and blocked the enemies.]
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—
Countless bones shot up from the ground where the Money Bag’s troops were advancing on, as a huge castle appeared in front of them.
Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack—
Then, not long after that, the ground twisted and cracked as skeletons and rotten bodies climbed out from underground. Their numbers? Over 300,000.
Thump—
Thump—
Thump—
Thump—
However, to everyone’s surprise, White Death Knights appeared and surrounded the kingdom from the black air currents that shot out from the ground. There were also around fifty liches that created two thrones inside the kingdom.
‘Two thrones...’
Henry knew who the owner of the kingdom was. However, he did not know why there were two thrones there.
‘How in the world did he summon White Death Knights?’
Was the God of Death truly furious to the point that he sent his envoys and even strengthened them?
[The envoy that is well-versed in summoning has become the ruler of the living and stands beside the envoy that rules the dead.]
“Kihyeeeeeeeeck!”
“Kyahaaaaaack!”
“Keuaaaaaaaack!”
A circle appeared in the space in the sky.
“A, a dragon?!”
“What, What the hell?!”
Several dragons flew out of the circle in the sky and stopped just right above the Kingdom of Death. Furthermore, hundreds of legendary monsters appeared from the spaces that opened all over the kingdom.
“...Heok.”
“What, what the hell...”
“Keok...”
The mercenaries could not contain how flustered and confused they were.
That was not the end. Bone fragments appeared in the air and created a set of stairs that connected the sky and the kingdom beneath it. Then, two men began to descend from the stairs.
Step, step, step, step—
The two men were similar in height. Even the way they dressed was very similar too. The entire battlefield was rendered silent, as the mercenaries stopped in their tracks to look and listen to the sound of steps of the two men descending the stairs.
The two envoys that the God of Death had sent slowly sat on their thrones. The first envoy pulled the hood that covered his face, his eyes glaring sharply at the mercenaries.
“The, the King of the Dead...!”
“It’s Death...!”
Not long after, the other man also slowly pulled his hood. The entire world was left reeling in shock while Henry and the mercenaries looked at him with stiff and heavy expressions on their faces the moment his face was revealed.
“Ki, kikik, kihihihihihihi!” The man laughed, his voice sounding crazy and playful at the same time.
“Crazy Tyrant Akhan...”
This was a partnership that should never have been possible. However, if the two were together, then they would become the best combination.
The two men looked at their enemies coldly and haughtily as they opened their mouths and gave their cold and harsh orders.
“Wipe them out.”
“Wipe them out.”
