章 60: 57

(Argen POV)

My body feels hot, I feel like my heart is about to burst. I can practically see the steam rising out of my mouth.

Everything is a blur, my eyes don't work, but my body knows it's target, and stays on the path to killing my first god.

I felt like I was sitting in a lake of lava, resting as it burned me inside and out, that's what my body felt like.

'Faster, Like this, and sharper,' A voice said that wasn't me as I slightly shifted the way my hands flowed, breaking through the guard of the rapist god.

'Now dodge to the right, before he attacks,' The voice whispered again, and I dodged the attack.

"What?" The god in front of me said under his breath as he had barely missed me. I could tell he wasn't sure what was going on, well that made two of us.

'A side kick to the ribs, then reverse crescent kick, now."

My body moved on its own, I landed a side kick to the gods ribs, feeling them break, and followed up by stepping down with the foot I side kicked with and using my other foot to slam his head into the ground, using the momentum from the side kick.

"Damn It I'm done!" The god yelled bursting up and bringing a ball of green energy to his hand.

'Kill him now to get his power! Otherwise your dead! That's divine essence!' The voice screamed as the god shot the green energy straight to me.

I froze up, feeling the feeling of death about to hit. I was so caught up in the fight that I didn't notice Scathath moving in front of me, swiping Gae Bolg once through the energy.

The head of the god dropped to the ground with a sickening thud, the golden ichor oozing from the body.

'Damn… Til next time, when you aren't angry again…'

The voice sounded almost disappointed, and I realized that it had said to kill him to gain power, I guess since he didn't die by my hands I didn't get the power.

"You don't want that disgusting power… I will keep it safely locked away inside of me…" Scathath said, seemingly able to tell what I was thinking.

"You weren't driven by anger in those final moments, that is why you were fighting so well… Remember that feeling the next times you fight, otherwise you will always lose."

With these words Scathath looked down at the dead body of the god and raised her spear again, stabbing into the body, burning it to ash.

'I need… To get stronger.'

(Somewhere in Olympus)

"You killed and replaced my son Apollo, I won't ever forgive that… But I will accept you as an Olympian… After you've done something else… Kill The boy Argen, and spill his blood on the stairs leading to Olympus, then you will be acknowledged."

Zeus said these words looking down on Luke as the god nodded with a greedy smirk.

'Just kill Argen? This takeover will be easy…'

(2 Months Later)

"Hah… I did it…" Argen said, sweat dripping from his body as he was covered in blood as well.

His body was covered in scars, new fresh ones, not the old ones he had before.

Scathath stood there with Gaebolg stuck into the wall, for the first time ever someone had managed to dodge the spear, something so rare that even she was shocked.

"Can I… Fight now?" Argen asked, steam coming off from his body.

"Yes."

…

"Phew… It'll be weird going without you Scathath… But I understand, and thank you," Argen said that night smiling as he was ready to leave.

Law was ready as well, she had learned how to use her illusions so well that sometimes she didn't even know when she was using them.

She used them for a lot of things… Not that she'd ever reveal how she used them, it was mainly practice anyway.

"Me and my brother appreciate your training… And thank you for teaching me how to kill gods… Who knew huh?"

Scathath just nodded as he started walking away. "She's a girl by the way, just thought you should know since it seems you're oblivious to it."

Hearing Scathath's words Argen stopped before continuing. "Yeah I know, she told me a long time ago."

With this Argen was blown out of the shadow realm with Law, his eyes calm for the first time ever.

"Haha… Hahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Beast laughed as he popped up in the sand.

"So my brother has been transferred by the Hawaiian's already huh? How unfortunate, maybe I should-"

Before he finished that sentence a small change in the wind alerted him.

"Oh?… So my son has decided to visit me huh? Well… Welcome to Hawaii Son… I wonder how you'll deal with these gods, they aren't like the Greeks, even I need to stay hidden… Damn scary…"

"What are you mumbling about?" Beezebub says sitting next to The Beast nonchalantly. He easily dodged the swing from his son without even looking.

"What are you doing here?!" The beast yelled out in surprise, and a little bit of fear.

Beezebub sighed as he opened and closed his hand, looking toward the sky.

"I'm sorry son… I wanted to talk to you ever since you were free, but I didn't get the chance-"

"Shut up," The beast said cutting off his father as an angry look was in his eyes. "You don't get to say sorry, never… NEVER CAN YOU APOLIGIZE!"

Beezlebub, sighing, dodged the red energy that The Beast had sent.

"That won't do anything," Beezlebub said almost bored as he looked at his son with a stern look.

The Beast shrunk back before looking away, causing Beezlebub's eyes to soften slightly. "Look-"

"Hell no, I don't care what you have to say, anything I did to my son was nothing compared to what you did to me, he may hate me, but he could never hate me as much as I hate you."

The Beast burst into red energy, leaving the area as Beelzebub sighed and looked up into the sky.

"Forgive me Father… For I have sinned…"
