Chapter 21: Let’s Bring Down an Almighty God, Part 2

「I believe I have told you that when we first met. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try to resist, it’s all futile against me.」

「…..!」

Aur smiled at the God of the Sun, who was waiting for them at the entrance to the volcano.

「It’s impossible to go against you because you’re omnipotent… is that what you’re trying to say?」

The Sun God’s well-shaped eyebrow moved in a slightly unpleasant way.

「The first reason.」

「What?」

It was Aur’s turn to raise his brows this time, because he couldn’t make sense of the words the Sun God spoke just now.

「The first reason why I did not destroy you right when I regained my physical form. It is exactly like Tena told you. I didn’t do it… because back then you were simply not worth destroying.」

He was referring to the conversation Aur had with Tena when he declared his intention to fight with the Sun God.

「So you deliberately waited for us to conquer most of your Dungeons?」

Aur says that to conceal the inner turmoil that was taking place inside his head.

「If you weren’t able to at least that much, it would simply mean that I was right with my judgement. But even with all that accomplished…」

The Sun God raised his hands slightly and when he did that, Aur’s group was attacked by a sandstorm originating from his right hand and a blizzard coming from his left.

「All you did was put a little ice under my feet. My power is …」

Zana’s uses her ice techniques to freeze the sandstorm, and Rames’ flames burn out of the snow.

However.

「…not reduced in the slightest, as you can see.」

Zana’s ice was unable to catch up with the raging sandstorm and the blizzard snuffed out all of Rames’ flames, blowing them both away and colliding with the ice covering the entire Wind Dungeon.

「Tsk …! Yunis, Spina!」

When Aur opens a leather bag, a red-haired hero and a slime mage jump out from inside like a wind. Almost at the same time, Spina’s thread bound the Sun God and Yunis slashed away at him.

The string-like slime made by Aur’s genius disciple has ten times the strength of the steel thread, making it an ultimate bounding weapon that not even the giants could resist. Once tied up with it, even a dragon would not be able to break itself free from its grasp.

As for Yunis’ attack, it was a slash that slashed the space itself to pieces. Due to its tremendous speed it was near-impossible to avoid and when the attack connects, no manner of armor or protective barrier will be able to block it.

Or at least that is how it was supposed to be, because the Sun God not only broke free od Spina’s slime by simply shrugging his arms, but he also blocked Yunis’ attack with one hand.

「Wow, talk about being OP! Is this some kinda cheat or what?!」

「Leave it to us, master!」

Yunis and Spina scream towards Aur as they create a myriad of intertwining attacks utilizing their accumulated magical power to their full potential, all for the sake of buying their master time to get back to safety.

「Do not overdo it!」

Aur makes a hasty retreat, dragging Zana and Rames out of the snow.

「For the Ice Queen to be covered in sand, what a shameful display I have put up!」

「As expected of the Sun God, he’s powerful beyond measure. You can’t even hold a candle to him!」

Zana spits the sand out of her mouth while Rames laughs at her.

「Oh yeah?! Then watch this, you transvestite asshole!」

Zana channeled her ice once more and used it to confine the Sun God in a room that was infused with Aur’s authority over his Dungeon.

「Do you really think such a trivial thing is going to…」

「That was not my intention!」

Of course she knew such a thing won’t do anything to him, but Zana’s aim was not to attack, but to make the enemy blind. That way, Yunis’s attack is sure to connect. And it did, after slashing the front wall cleanly in two.

「How about that?! Not so full of yourself now, are you?!」

Yunis laughed heartily at the Sun God who was forced to increase the distance between them.

「Looks like even someone like you can’t prevent an attack that you cannot see, huh?」

And she smiled wit a smile typical for a carnivore that was about to catch up to its prey.

「You’re strong, I will admit it. But with something like that, You will need at least hundred, no a thousand more strikes to… 」

In the middle of his sentence, the Sun God Suddenly loses his power and drops to one knee. When he looked back at his back, he saw two slimes attached to it: one jet-black and one pure-white.」

「I’m sorry, you were saying?」

「After all, I couldn’t make a slime that absorbs spiritual power.」

Spina says with a dejected look on her face.

「That’s why … Magic Eater and Force Eater. I let you taste those two kinds of slime!」

She then spreads her hands to the sides and they started melting away, both of them dyed black and white.

「Now, let’s give it our best shot, Spina.」

「Right. Yunis, lend me your power.」

Talking to each other like that, they resumed their assault at the Sun God.

「Are they going to be okay?」

「You don’t have to worry. We both know the two of them are pretty strong.」

Aur comfort the worried Mari.

「Instead of being worried about them, we should focus on ourselves.」

From the volcano’s entrance, lots of monsters showed up to greet them.

「Leave those enemies to us!」

「Understood!」

「Un!」

「Do your best!」

The one preparing to hold the monsters off were Hoderi, Hoseli’s brother and Tena’s granddaughter, Yutsu, supported by Hoseli. She releases her shurikens which get stuck exactly in the monster’s foreheads who rush at them like a tsunami and Hoderi slices each and every one of them apart with wide swings of his sword.

「Yutsu!」

Hoderi shouted and slashed at the throat of the chimera that tried to jump on Yutsu from behind, making a fountain of blood gush out from its throat.

「On it! Wind!」

Yutsu shakes her tail which changes from that of a fox to a giant fan that sends the gusts of wind towards other chimeras who tried to spew fire at her, burning them with their own flame in the process.

「Thank you very much, Hoderi-dono! I owe you one!」

For a moment Hoderi kept his sword stabbed into the ground to keep himself from being swept up by the wind, only to pull it out with a violent movement and use the momentum to cut off the head of a monkey monster that tried to approach him.

「Nice one!」

Zana shouts as she annihilates the enemies around her almost instantly. At the same time, she used another portion of her ice to create a new room to give them some time to catch their breaths.

「Eve, are you okay?」

「Yes, I can still go, Older Sister!」

Storing the ice in the vicinity of the volcano that was filled with smoldering magma was a significant burden on Eldav. She was also responsible for keeping the ice in every Dungeon they have conquered so far. Her breathing was ragged, but she gave Zana a swift reply

「Aur, a nasty newcomer has come!」

Rames shouts while sending a fireball at the new monstrosity that crawled out of the darkness below them. Even without the power of a God on his side, he still possessed enough of his own magical power to inflict serious damage even to the biggest of opponents.

「What is it? Orochi?」

「No, that is …!」

Yutsu screams to Aur as a new monster made its appearance with its elongated body.

It looked like a snake but its head was long and rugged like that of a crocodile and two deer-like horns were protruding out of its head. His limbs were small and had four fingers each and he moved them as if he was swimming through the air without placing his body on the ground for even a second.

「It’s a dragon! But how is it possible?! Is he really in control of every living being here?!」

The words were transmitted to Aur directly.

Dragon. It looked differently tha the one Aur knew about, but his threat level was most likely the same.

「Master, please move aside. If this things gets its claws on you, even you won’t be able to survive.」

Hoseli rises and his body begins to change. Normally he detested this abhorrent form with his whole being, but this time it will serve as an excellent armor against the gusts of wind and acidic rain produced by the flaps of the dragon’s wings as well as his fangs and claws. Recognizing that the beast that slowly approached him was a dangerous adversary, the dragon opened its mouth and roared a bellowing roar.

「Brother!」

「Hoseli. Protect master at all costs.」

The bald man smiles, stroking the head of his younger sister.

「I hope you will bless master with a wonderful child.」

He said that as if he knew that he has no chance of emerging from this battle alive.

Dragon is not just a simple beast. It is the strongest existence that is said to be on par with Gods themselves. So how can he approach it so confidently when he has no trump cards against such an opponent? Nevertheless, Hoderi’s body trembles with excitement.

For a samurai, battle is the sole purpose of his life, and dying on the battlefield in servitude of your lord was the highest honor possible. And since no warrior can escape death, then he might at least welcome it with open arms by slaying such a legendary monster!

With such a mindset he stepped onto the battlefield…

「I am truly sorry, Mister Hoderi…」

But everything was already over.

Mari was standing next to the burned dragon carcass with her hair colored bright red.

「What can I say? It was a dragon, so I just couldn’t help myself. Teehee~~」

But there was no need for her to apologize. She used the power of the 『Dragon Killer』 Wolfe channeled through her body to defeat the dragon in an instant without any casualties.

「No…」

With a sound as if the air has fled from a balloon, Hoderi’s body returned to its original shape.

「Everyone is safe and sound and that’s what matters the most.」

Looks like he is really getting old.

「Ah, so it has remained untouched. Good.」

After defeating the dragon, the Sun God managed to flee to the depths of the Dungeon even though Yunis and Spina chased after him like hound dogs after a wounded rabbit. Now they were in the center of the Dungeon, in the room where Sakuya lived. There was no need to destroy it. If they did that, Sakuya wouldn’t have any place left for herself. Doing that served no purpose in their current battle.

「Let’s go. I’m going to spread the boundary here.」

But there was no need for Aur to do that.

「You don’t have to do that, Aur.」

Because a certain voice stopped him right in his tracks.

Appearing from the shade of the rock is a beautiful goddess dressed in a kimono that spreads like a petal, complementing her pale red hair.

「Princess!」

「Don’t go, Hoseli.」

Of course, it cannot be Sakuya herself.

「Mimicking the appearance of others is a bad hobby. Also, you suck a shit stained dick at it… Sun God.」

Aur proclaimed while he glared at Sakuya with a hateful gaze.
