Chapter 1888: Hercules |
-----
His hands transformed. Aura coiled around them and closed toward the dragons’ chests like the fangs of a titanic dragon akin to Lucifer.
CRAAASH!
"A-Ah...!"
"W-Wha...?!"
Massive holes exploded through Brunhild’s and Violet’s chests.
Unable to react, they fell.
All of it happened in mere seconds.
At the same moment, a skeleton knight charged alongside several others.
Darkbound’s ghostly blade struck first from above.
BOOOM!
Takeshi and Laura attacked from left and right.
Takeshi summoned dozens of serpents from his Ocean Domain; his fishing rod lashed out, seeking to pierce Hercules’ skin.
Laura charged destructive force into her fists, merging it with her manifested gauntlets—her Dream Weapons—and unleashed heavenly demon techniques.
Tear and Veredorr fused. The ice titan allowed Veredorr to "possess" her, gaining immense spiritual power and temporarily evolving to an extraordinary new level.
She swung her pair of frost axes—both Dream Weapons—from below, aiming for Hercules’ groin.
They fought not because they believed they could win, but to buy Alma time to heal the fallen.
"Hoho, yes! Come to me! Fight me! Try to kill me! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Hercules laughed wildly. His fists moved in a blur—intercepting Darkbound’s sword and shattering his skull with a punch, grasping Takeshi’s sea serpents and crushing them before blasting the boy away with an energy shockwave, blocking Laura’s explosive fists and smashing her face—leaving her toothless, one-eyed, nose crushed, jaw broken—then shrugging off Tear’s freezing assault with raw force, stomping her face, and sending her crashing downward.
"Huh! Wait, that’s it?!" Hercules scanned the area, realizing he had defeated them all. "Hmm, what to do now— Ah!"
His face brightened beneath the mask as he saw four god vessels rushing toward him—four gods who had descended into mortal bodies to confront him.
