Chương 14: Battle of Mortal and God
Kael looked around at the young gods, noticing their appearances and personalities.
There was Orion, a tall and imposing figure with a stern expression on his face. He wore dark clothing and carried a large bow that seemed to be made of pure silver.
Then there was Scorpio, a mysterious and alluring figure who wore a black hooded cloak and carried a curved scythe.
Kael could feel a sense of danger emanating from her, making him slightly uneasy.
The other young gods included Taurus, a muscular and stoic figure who carried a large hammer, Aquarius, a bubbly and carefree young woman who controlled the power of water, and Virgo, a quiet and reserved figure who seemed to be lost in thought.
Lyra continued to question Kael, asking him why the older gods were waiting for him.
Kael hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should reveal too much information. But he decided to be honest with her.
"I am here to uncover the dark secrets of the ancients," he said. "I believe that the older gods may have information that can help me."
The young gods looked at Kael with a mixture of curiosity and concern. Lyra spoke up again.
"The secrets of the ancients are not to be taken lightly," she said. "They are dangerous and can lead to massive destruction if mishandled."
Kael nodded, understanding the gravity of his mission. "I know," he said. "But I must uncover the truth, no matter the cost."
The young gods looked at Kael for a moment longer before nodding in agreement. They seemed to accept his explanation, and Kael felt a sense of relief wash over him.
He had expected some resistance from the young gods, but they seemed to understand the importance of his mission.
As they continued to converse, Kael found himself growing more comfortable with the young gods.
He was impressed by their power and intelligence, and enjoyed their company.
They shared stories and jokes, and Kael felt a sense of belonging among them.
But as the conversation continued, Kael began to sense a tension building among the group. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was causing it, but he could feel a sense of unease emanating from some of the young gods.
As Kael continued his conversation with the young gods, a new figure entered the scene.
He was a tall, imposing male god with fiery red hair and eyes that glowed with an intense orange light.
Kael sensed a powerful energy emanating from the newcomer, and his instincts told him that this was not someone to be trifled with.
The young gods fell silent as the newcomer strode up to Kael, eyeing him up and down with a critical gaze.
"And who might you be?" he asked in a deep, rumbling voice.
Kael met the god's gaze without flinching.
"I am Kael," he said simply. "And who are you?"
The god snorted. "I am Ares, the god of war," he said proudly.
"And it seems to me that you are just a mere mortal. What business do you have among us?"
Kael felt a surge of anger rise within him at God's dismissive attitude.
"I am here because I was summoned," he said, his voice growing cold.
"And I have as much right to be here as anyone else."
Ares barked a laugh. "You have a quick tongue, mortal," he said.
"But let's see if you have the skills to back it up."
The tension between Kael and Ares was palpable.
The young god was clearly annoyed by Kael's mortal status, and the conversation quickly turned hostile. Without warning, Ares launched himself at Kael with a powerful punch. Kael barely managed to dodge it in time, his training and quick reflexes coming in handy.
He launched himself at Kael, his fists glowing with a fierce orange light.
Kael barely had time to react, but he managed to dodge Ares' first blow and counter with a quick jab at the god's midsection.
Ares grunted in surprise, but he quickly recovered and launched a flurry of blows that Kael struggled to dodge.
The fight had begun, and it was intense from the start.
Ares was a skilled fighter, using his godly powers to enhance his physical abilities and deal devastating blows. But Kael was not to be underestimated.
He may have been mortal, but he trained with the finest and was now empowered by his newfound divine energy.
The other young gods watched in amazement as the two combatants clashed, their movements lightning-fast and their blows landing with bone-crunching force.
Their fight was a dance of quick movements, powerful strikes, and dodges. They exchanged blows with such speed that it was almost impossible to keep track of.
Kael tried to get close to Ares, using his agility to dodge his attacks and get in close for his own strikes. However, Ares was too powerful, and his blows always seemed to land with a fierce impact.
As Ares launched another fierce attack, despite this, Kael refused to give up. He was determined to prove his worth to the young gods, to show them that mortals could be just as powerful as them. And then something strange happened.
Kael felt a strange energy coursing through his veins, a power he had never experienced before. As the battle with Ares continued, Kael sensed an unfamiliar sensation building within him.
It was as if some unknown force awakened within him, bubbling just beneath the surface. As Ares' attacks rained down upon him, Kael felt himself slowly becoming more attuned to the darkness that surrounded him.
It was a dark, shadowy power that resonated with the depths of his soul. He began to use this power in his attacks, landing blows that seemed to have a darker, more sinister energy to them.
He began to feel a strange sense of familiarity with the shadows, as if they were a part of him. Suddenly, Kael's body flickered and faded away, before reappearing a few feet to the side. Ares' attack missed its mark, striking only empty air.
Ares was surprised by this, never having seen an attribute like this before. The other young gods were also amazed, watching the fight with interest. As the fight continued, Kael's new attribute became more and more pronounced.
His attacks were becoming more powerful, and Ares was starting to struggle. As Ares lunged towards him once again, Kael felt a sudden surge of energy within him.
He lifted his arm and called forth darkness, drawing it towards him like a magnet.
It coalesced around his hand, taking the form of a long, slender blade made entirely of shadows.
Ares' eyes widened in surprise as Kael's newly obtained weapon struck him in a sudden, fluid motion.
The blade sliced cleanly through Ares' defenses, leaving a deep gash on his side. The older gods watching the fight gasped in amazement, but Kael could see the flicker of recognition in their eyes. Despite the surprise of his new ability, Kael grew more confident and sure of himself with each passing moment. As he fought Ares, he felt the shadows responding to his will, bending and shifting in response to his every thought. With each strike of his shadow blade, Kael felt himself growing stronger and more in tune with the power of the shadows.
The fight raged on for several more minutes, with both combatants trading blows and pushing each other to their limits. With a sudden burst of strength, he unleashed a devastating punch that sent Ares reeling backwards, his body wreathed in flames.
The young gods around them cheered, and Kael felt a sense of pride and accomplishment swell within him. Some gasped in amazement at Kael's newfound power. "What is this?" one of them exclaimed. "I've never seen anything like it!"
The older gods, meanwhile, exchanged knowing glances, their expressions unreadable.
They seemed amused and yet also cautious, as if they knew something that the young gods did not.
But even as he basked in the glow of his victory, he felt a thrill of triumph and yet also a sense of unease.
Kael couldn't shake the feeling that there was still so much he didn't know about the power he had just awakened to. What was this power that he had unleashed? And why did the older gods seem so mysteriously amused by it?
He knew that he needed to find the answers to these questions, no matter what the cost. For now, he was content to rest and recover from his hard-fought battle. He had much to think about, and much to learn, but he was ready for whatever lay ahead.
