Chapter 335
C335
BANG-!
Hercules' body soared into the air.
The club remained at rest.
At least that was fortunate for YuWon.
Hercules, wielding Yggdrasil's club, was too much for YuWon to handle.
Boooom!
Crack!
Hercules' fist struck the ground.
The place where the fist landed sank deep into the earth.
Rocks on the edge rose up, blocking YuWon's movement. Seeing that scene, YuWon clicked his tongue once again.
"It's monstrously strong, no matter how many times I see it."
That was pure power without using any skill or item.
It was astonishing.
Undoubtedly, Hercules called himself the strongest in this Tower in terms of strength.
"Do you want to buy time by running away?"
Thump!
Hercules extended his foot and caught YuWon moving away.
"Of course, that's the only thing you can do."
Hercules didn't insult YuWon for being a coward.
Rather, it was a situation where insulting him would be cowardly.
Hercules knew exactly what his strength was, and he had already anticipated that YuWon wouldn't confront him directly.
Above all, time was YuWon's weapon.
Not using the most powerful weapon was not a suitable fighting style for YuWon's personality.
"But still..."
Boooom!
Hercules' fist struck through the empty air.
"You're still ten years away from being able to fight me."
"!"
Boom!
A loud wind struck YuWon's body.
The punch that struck the air turned into air pressure and hit YuWon's body. Pushed back by the wind, YuWon flew backward.
Dust rose with the pressure of the wind.
Boooom!
While clearing the dust, Hercules approached YuWon again.
Crack!
The beautiful field turned into a field full of craters with just two strikes.
The ground rose everywhere.
Hercules' hand covered YuWon.
Thud!
Instead of grabbing his neck, Hercules had shattered stone fragments in his hand.
YuWon's movements were smooth.
It was as if he knew from the beginning what Hercules would do.
"You're like an illusion."
Golden Cinder Eyes and Sensory Field.
They were skills that showed the best evasion ability in close combat.
As if not allowing Hercules to get close, YuWon moved smoothly.
"You had faith in this, right?"
But...
Whoosh!
Simply relying on strength and fighting ignorantly, Hercules wouldn't have been able to earn the title of 'Giant Slayer' and his current rank.
The distance between Hercules and YuWon quickly closed.
Bum-.
A fist extended in a straight line.
And at that moment...
Kwaack!
YuWon's "Gigantification" manifested.
[The power of a Giant dwells in your arm]
Kwaaang!
The two strikes collided, and the ground where they both stood sank due to the impact.
Hercules, who didn't expect this direct confrontation, showed a bewildered expression instead.
Tong, thud!
YuWon's body was thrown far away by the clash of their fists.
YuWon tumbled on the ground and quickly got back up, regaining his balance.
Ukssin...
While clutching his right shoulder, YuWon slightly distorted his expression.
"My shoulder..."
Fortunately, he was in the state of Gigantification, so it was fortunate that his shoulder wasn't completely broken.
He thought that if he used Gigantification, he might be able to clash head-on, but it still wasn't enough.
"Gigantification alone isn't enough, right?"
When he looked up, he saw Hercules running towards him relentlessly.
There was no time to hesitate.
YuWon immediately summoned his Arcane Power.
Tsutsutsu...
Behind YuWon, a giant red figure appeared.
It was the manifestation of a giant formed by a massive set of Arcane Power.
Heavenly Demon Spirit.
Its utility was truly limitless.
A golden lightning began to emanate from the ring on his right hand.
The lightning quickly formed into a tangible shape. It became a small spear the size of YuWon.
YuWon escaped from Hercules' grasp and launched the lightning he had created in his hand.
Flash!
Crunch!
The lightning spear pierced through Hercules' body.
Hercules' body momentarily trembled, even though he used his Arcane Power to protect himself; it was a painful blow.
Crack...
At that moment, YuWon distanced himself again and took another lightning in his hand.
The speed of creating the spears was astonishing. Although Hercules had seen him handle lightning before, he had not been as skilled as this.
The power was also impressive.
It was amazing to be able to create lightning so quickly and still cause minimal impact on his own body.
"This is annoying."
If he continued avoiding combat like this, he would only accumulate damage in his own body. In his heart, Hercules felt like grabbing YuWon's neck and hitting him with all his strength, but it wasn't that easy.
Drip...
A drop of sweat fell from Hercules' forehead.
The more he moved, the more he felt the torment of the Hydra's poison.
YuWon knew that time was on his side.
But that wasn't all.
"Did you really think of all this?"
Taking advantage of the fact that he was poisoned by the Hydra's venom, YuWon attacked at that vulnerable point.
If he had planned up to that point, it was a level of meticulousness that was surprising.
"This could get painful if it continues."
Crack!
Once again, a lightning spread over Hercules' body.
He crossed his arms to block the lightning, thinking that he needed his arms to be longer.
Zas...
Hercules reached into his inventory.
A familiar sensation as he grabbed something.
As soon as he held it, he felt a surge of energy throughout his body.
[Yggdrasil's Club]
Crack!
The Supreme Blacksmith of Olympus, Hephaestus, had created that item at Kim YuWon's request.
Hercules didn't particularly rely on items, but this club was different.
When he held it, his strength amplified, and he felt a surge of energy throughout his body.
It was like a shark rediscovering the ocean.
Crack...
Hercules took another step forward with the club in hand.
And at that moment...
Flash!
Once again, a lightning flew from the direction where YuWon stood.
Zas!
Hercules swung his club to strike the lightning.
The lightning dissipated without any difficulty.
YuWon, who was gradually retreating and throwing lightning to maintain distance, stopped and looked at Hercules.
"Are you finally going to use that club?"
"This is the only item I have."
Hercules waved his club slightly in the air as he approached YuWon.
"Understand."
I only have one item, but don't you have many items with you?
He wasn't wrong in saying that.
And, of course, YuWon didn't think of calling him a coward.
"Well..."
If you analyze it, YuWon had much more in his possession.
"Actually, I'm not the only one."
"...?"
Hercules paused briefly, as if asking what YuWon meant.
At that moment...
Woosh~
Hercules felt a sinister feeling behind his neck.
Swish.
Unknowingly, Hercules quickly lowered his head.
Whoosh.
Spinning in the air, Hercules swung his club backward.
That new and fast person.
Finally, he landed away from Hercules.
-It seems that even days like these come to me.
A crazed voice, full of emotion and madness.
A sword as red as blood, as if it had been forged from spilled blood. A shield with a shape that seemed to have been carved into a mirror.
And on the hilt of his sword, a single shining red jewel.
The Kusanagi Sword.
The Yata Mirror.
And even the Magatama Jewel.
Susanoo, armed with the Three Sacred Treasures, appeared before Hercules.
