บท 51: DA : Chapter 51: Typhoon Falls! II
Typhon roared in anger more than anything as it brought a hand up to swat him like a fly but then Jason, having reached the highest point of his jump leveling him with Typhon's sternum brought out Revelation and drove the blade into Typhon's chest, sinking it half way to the hilt and keeping him hitched to the Titan.
...
Now Typhon's roar had pain to it but it wasn't enough, not nearly enough. Their symbols of power may be sharp enough to cut the titan's flesh with ease but with their size they couldn't reach into the denser muscles where real damage could be struck.
Percy, noting that he'd slowed down too much to get higher stabbed both Purgatory and Sin into Typhon's ribs to hook himself to the Titan.
With his foothold secured he watched as Typhon tried to bring his massive clawed down on Jason but as the hand came closer suddenly a bolt of lightning hit it with enough force to make Typhon abruptly twist to the side.
Percy glanced down to see that Rhea had leveled the arena floor to create several spires and columns of rock for different vantage points, some going as high as Typhon's thighs.
Thalia stood on one with her bow, Genesis, trained on Typhon, another arrow of pure lightning already formed and notched.
Soon another arrow made of purple energy struck Typhon in the neck followed by a burst of ichor as the arrow pieced his protective hide but not deep enough to inflict lasting damage.
It had been Andromeda with her knives in bow form, Absolution, her arrows having larger piercing power while Thalia being more of a large bomb on impact.
Together the pair fired off arrow after arrow, being careful to not hit Percy or Jason as the pair scaled Typhon's body, Jason being closer to the goal than Percy at the moment.
Seeing as he was farther than he wanted he glanced around while watching as Typhon brought his hand down and nearly hit Jason but the bugger managed to toss himself to the side and drop a good two stories before stabbing his sword in again to stop from falling to the floor.
Percy noticed that Typhon's hand was pretty close so thinking quickly he tugged Purgatory out of the titan's flesh and sheathed it before focusing on his hand.
Frost and darkness radiated off his right hand before his Void crystal started to form in the design of a hook and soon it lengthened to form a chain.
He then spun it to gain some momentum before he whipped it around, sending the hook at Typhon's retreating hand but the hook managed to grasp the flesh in a firm holding.
With that Percy pulled Sin out and kicked off Typhon's ribs, using his impulse to swing under the hand and then kick with his legs to complete a full rotation.
He then willed the chain to disperse and fell onto Typhon's moving hand. It seemed that he caught the titan's attention with that as the monster turned its gaze on him.
That proved to be a mistake as a pillar of rock measuring nearly three stories was literally thrown at the titan, hitting him square on the chest and making him stumble back as Percy hunkered down to get a good grip.
He glanced down to the arena floor to see the one tossing the stones was Rhea, using the pillars around her as ammunition. Once Typhon stabilized Percy started running up the titan's arm with both blades out.
He coated them in his Voidfire as he sliced the hide under him while running, the black flames hungrily eating at hide and flesh exposed along the cuts as ichor flowed by the gallons and Typhon roared in rage and pain. Percy smirked, knowing that his flames were just as painful as the Hellfire of Tartarus and Typhon was now feeling pain like he never had before.
The heat of being under Mount Etna and later St. Helens was nothing compared to this and the best part was that the titan's rapid healing wouldn't work on wounds from either of the divine fires.
Percy soon arrived near Typhon's head as Thalia and Andromeda peppered his chest with their arrows while Rhea focused more of her pillars onto Typhon's gut to keep his focus on them. Percy raced forward, his swords poised at his sides to slice at Typhon's head.
He jumped, swords high, but the buffeting winds surrounding the monster's head took most of his momentum and forced him to squint. He made a wild swing just before the winds could push him away, his swords seeming to cut at Typhon's cheek close to his eye making him screech in pain.
Percy winced at the sound but in doing so he failed to notice Typhon's hand grasp at him.
He didn't have time to react to the titan's suddenly fast grab and grunted as the monstrous strength tried to crush him. He could feel his ribs straining even as he flexed his arms to try and keep some space for himself to save his chest from being crushed in the hand of Typhon.
He was strong but this thing was only strength and no one besides another full primordial could outmuscle the titan. However, his team came to his rescue as Typhon abruptly released his grip making Percy fall.
As he fell he glanced up to see the wrist of Typhon's right hand had been sliced open with a torrent of ichor flowing out. He then glanced to his side to see Jason falling not far from him, his sword stained golden as the former roman shot him a grin.
Percy returned a thankful nod as he corrected himself in the air but they really didn't have anything to stop their fall unless Thalia willed the winds to catch them. Unlikely considering she and Andromeda were currently shooting at Typhon while hopping around to avoid being crushed underfoot.
'This is gonna sting' Percy thought as the arena floor rapidly approached them. He came down at terminal velocity, landing on a pillar only for the damn thing to give way under him, splitting down the center until he landed at the actual arena floor with a resounding crash, Jason not too far behind him.
Percy groaned as his legs and back stung from the landing but he shook it off and the dust on him while looking around. Jason was up as well with Revelation in arm as he scoped out a vulnerable spot to attack.
Percy glanced up to smirk in satisfaction as Typhon's right arm and a piece of his face was burning with Voidfire, taking half of the titan's eyesight and slowing down the use of his right arm tremendously along with the useless hand that Jason nearly lopped off.
"No luck getting to his head huh," Jason stated as he moved closer to him.
"Not really, the wind is too much," Percy replied before narrowing his eyes at Typhon's chest. "I don't think we can get too close to his neck to slit his throat either but …" he trailed off as he thought of an idea.
"What's on your mind Percy?" Jason asked knowing Percy's face when he thinks up something possibly reckless but usually useful.
"Well, we can't get to his head or neck and Andromeda's arrows don't have enough power to fully pierce his chest and get to his heart.
Our swords could but with his height we just can't keep enough momentum to swing at full strength and carve his chest open but if we did enough damage to open it up Thalia could possibly create a bolt strong enough to get to his heart."
"She'd need to hold off and focus for that but then what's keeping Typhon's attention off her?" Jason asked as both suddenly jumped to the side and onto another pillar as Typhon's foot nearly squashed them. "He would noticed the buildup of power and attack her."
"Then we need to keep his attention," Percy said with a smirk. "Go let Thals and Andy know. Tell Andy to focus on Typhon's face while I let Rhea and Nico know."
"Where is he by the way?" Jason asked but both stopped and looked to see Typhon stumble slightly and for the first time noticed that his right calf was on Hellfire with multiple lacerations going up to mid-calf with a black and red blur running around the titan's foot.
"Found him," Percy said with a point before grinning. "Let's join the party!"
Both nodded before surging forward again, Percy making a straight jump to Rhea as she hefted a locomotive size boulder and tossed it like a soft ball, the stone missile slamming into Typhon's head regardless of the wind making him roar as more ichor spilled from a cut over his only usable eye since the other is long gone thanks to Percy's Voidfire.
"Nice toss love," Percy greeted as he landed beside the former Titaness.
Rhea huffed a bit while rolling her shoulder while glancing at him. "Bastard just doesn't want to go down though."
"And that's why I was coming to tell you the plan," Percy said. "If you and Nico can bring Typhon to a halt long enough, I can make some damage on his chest and give an opening for Thalia to throw in the bigger fireworks."
Rhea looked at him questioningly for a moment before she glanced at the titan and narrowed her eyes.
"I think I might have just the thing," she said with a small smirk. "Just wait for the opening but it could be nice if you distract him for me."
"Will do," Percy agreed before rushing off to join Nico.
