章節 182: Transformation

'He's... dead?' Medusa kept repeating this question inside her mind. After processing her words and the cause of his death, an unprecedented swirl of emotions welled up inside her. The series of self-blame, hate, rage, and grief left her in the bottom of abyss heartbroken.

"No..." Refusing to believe what Teny just said, she desperately looks for reasons that could turn around such a conclusion, "No! That isn't true..."

Teny looked back to Medusa who is making a desperate face and was taken aback, "Hmm? What's this? Why are you so desperate now?"

"No... He isn't dead... It's Kisuke after all... He could walk out of the Dimensional Gap just fine..." Medusa ignored her and kept muttering to convince herself, but it's not very successful. For one, Kisuke never showed her any technique or ability that could help him survive the Dimensional Gap. Second is she knew how terrifying that emptiness is due to that is the place where she would suffer for the next three generations after she dies.

"...Wait..." Teny inspected her more closely with gleaming eyes, "Could it be that... you fell in love with that guy?"

"...What?" Medusa unconsciously muttered.

A few moments later, Teny started shaking and laughed out loud, "Ahahahaha!!! Now, this is the best! Who would have thought that a man-hater like you would fell in love with some random man!?" Alongside with her laughter and mockery, she started seeing a bit of light to achieve her goal. She didn't think that Medusa would react greatly after saying that some random man died but immediately used this chance to aggravate her emotions more. If she's successful at drawing 'that' out, Athena would take over and she would only harvest her bounty later, "What? Can't believe that he just died? That guy isn't even a Sacred Gear user. And to survive that empty space as a human, you have to at least have a Longinus. And Longinus is impossible to find just anywhere~."

"No... Kisuke can survive... He can find a way to survive..." Medusa refuted her words but her voice is minuscule. Even she doesn't have much confidence.

'How annoying... Well, it's not like I have to tell the truth. Even if he survives, it's impossible to return to this space with Athena's olive tree present.' With a large smile, Teny continued speaking, "Hmm... Let's say that he did survive..."

"Then..." Medusa found a bit of strength and stood up and waited for Teny to finish her words.

"Then Athena would finish the job~. He is, after all, an outsider that knows far too much~. Erasing him is just a matter of fact."

"..." Medusa stared at her blankly. Her mind went empty trying not to accept those words.

"You could say that because he got involved with you, he died miserably~." Teny hammered the final nail in the coffin.

Medusa's head dropped down and they couldn't see her reaction anymore, 'What? It's not enough? Should I insult that guy more?'

Just as Teny was about to say more, they noticed that the air around Medusa started to change and black and golden scales started to appear on her limbs while her long purple hair started to form snakeheads, "Everyone! To the olive tree!" Teny shouted as she hurriedly retreated towards the olive tree with the cloaked figure. Theodore dragged Elexa who still trying to resist so he knocked her out and signaled her mother to follow suit. Petter not far behind them reached the olive tree first and golden specks of dust suddenly burst out of the olive tree.

Just as they retreated, the silent House of Harpe suddenly made their move. The father and son duo rushed towards the unmoving Medusa while both of them is carrying a large Harpe, "Hahaha!!! Idiots letting this chance pass by! The House of Harpe will take their victory with this replica of the legendary Harpe!" Dennis shouted with great vigor. His father and he are already waiting for this chance to snatch a kill. This replica of their House's Harpe has 10% ability of the original. It's not enough to kill an immortal but it's sharp enough to cut almost everything. This is the trump card they're hiding all this time. Even if Medusa uses all of her chains to block the Harpe, she would only be cut along with her weapons.

Thinking that their victory is in their hands they rushed, using all of their strength for a single strike. It's not like they didn't notice Medusa's changes but they were confident that they could end her with a single slash.

However, before they could even reach her, Medusa's hair, in the form of a snake, opened its mouth towards them. Both Dennis and his father couldn't react when a beam of purple light suddenly went through them. Next moment, the spectators witness them tumbling down... headless. Even the blade of the Harpe was destroyed by the purple beam.

Everyone reeled in shock, including Teny as she knew from the information she has how good and durable is that replica actually is. With their combined effort, they wouldn't be able to nick its blade. But in an instant, it was destroyed by a seemingly casual attack of Medusa.

"What's that!?" Theodore asked out loud. Even though they can feel Athena's protection from the olive tree. They can't tell if it is enough to actually defend from that purple laser beam. Seeing Medusa's transformation, Theodore got a clue, "Is this your goal!?" He directed this question towards Teny.

Now that she's under the olive tree, Teny heaved a sigh of relief, "Yep~. I didn't think that I would succeed though after the initial failure. Now we know that the monster is actually in love~. That's hilarious~."

"Why are you still so calm!? Those idiots just got instantly killed! Aren't we also in danger here!? Let's leave now!!!" Theodore shouted. Petter nodded from the side having the same suggestion.

"No need~. Athena would be here soon. And this olive tree is enough to block her attacks for quite some time. I already said it earlier, right? You can't leave. Even I can't survive in the Dimensional Gap for more than a minute. Let's just wait here and watch the show. Later, I'll give you some consolation prize when I get rewarded later."

'This crazy bitch... How did she become Elexa's sister?' Theodore silently thought. If he were to know everything else that Teny did in the shadows, he'll question if she's still a human.

They all witnessed Medusa's strange transformation. Medusa grew a golden snake tail with a black underside on her backside and her limbs and sides of the neck got covered by golden scales with black tint on all of her hands and feet On her head, five snakes formed from her hair which is black in color with red outlines. Her attire is still the same tattered maid uniform which gave her an alluring look despite her monstrous appearance.

Medusa looked up and towards her hateful enemies with two streaks of tears on her face while wearing a crazed smile. Her left hand is covering her chest, more specifically, the pendant that Kisuke gave her. Despite losing most of her rationality after her transformation, she still wanted to subconsciously protect it.

"Die!" Medusa suddenly shouted and all of the snakes on her head opened their mouths and shoot out laser beams towards the group huddling around the olive tree.

"Crap!!!" Theodore held Elexa tightly ready to dodge any time if the lasers come closer to him and her. But outside of his expectation, the beams of the purple light curve after reaching the olive tree's influence diverting it towards outside leaving them unharmed.

Seeing this, Medusa's crazed smile change into an unfathomable rage and kept attacking, "Die! Die! Die!" But all of her attacks were diverted away, making Medusa rage even more.

Hitting the limit of her patience Medusa suddenly cast large scale magic without preparations, "Thousand Demon Eyes, release.

"I will return unto you your curse. Be melted down.

"Pandemonium Cetus! Fuhahahahahaha!"

章節 183: Athena

"Thousand Demon Eyes, release.

"I will return unto you your curse. Be melted down.

"Pandemonium Cetus! Fuhahahahahaha!"

Renouncing her last vestige of Divinity, accepting the curse which turned him into a monster, Medusa, cast a spell that is many times stronger than her previous 'Blood Fort Andromeda' with any prior need for setup.

Everyone is already in the vicinity of the olive tree, but those around more than 3 meters away from the tree instantly liquefied into a pool of blood and gore before gathering towards Medusa for consumption.

She continued laughing maniacally with a tear-stained face while absorbing the life force of everyone who died and converting it to Mana.

Those who are inside the 3-meter boundary are the important people of the Clan and was able to survive. But even then, they can feel that their life force is being robbed at a faster rate each second and sooner or later, they too would turn into a pool of blood and gore despite the protection of the olive tree is providing.

"Dammit!!! Are we going to die here!?" Theodore muttered and used his Mana to resist Medusa's magic and also using some of his Mana to protect Elexa and his mother.

Teny and Petter kept quiet but they too also started to lose their cool, 'When will Athena come!? The monster she's been waiting for already appeared!'

Just as they thought that they would die for real, a golden light came from the owl statue which is on the stone table and it then transformed into a woman in golden armor.

The woman is as tall as Medusa when she's still in her human form. She has waist-long slightly wavy black hair that reflects light. She has a pair of red-wine eyes and a slightly childish face contrasting her height. Despite that, she has a beautiful face that could captivate any normal man. Her chest would be on the slightly smaller side which is the same size as Sona Sitri's.

This woman is holding a broadsword with the golden hilt in his right hand while a golden round shield in her left hand.

Teny cheered internally at her appearance, 'Finally! This lazy bitch is moving her lazy ass!' Changing her expression instantly, Teny faced Athena with an aggrieved expression, "Goddess Athena! Please save your loyal followers from this demise!"

The golden armored woman, which is Athena, furrowed her brows for a bit before instantly returning to normal. With a single leap, she arrives and floated above the olive tree and raised her shield without any words.

The shield gave off a warm golden light that enveloped those who are still alive and completely protected them from Medusa's Pandemonium Cetus.

Gritting and showing her fangs, Medusa glared at Athena and tried to use her petrifying gaze. Transferring the effects of Pandemonium Cetus back to her eyes, Medusa was able to petrify bits of Athena's hands.

Raising her brows, Athena propelled her Divinity to shook of Medusa's mystic eyes' effects, "Hooh? It's amazing that you still have this much strength in your eyes."

"You bitch!" Knowing that her eyes won't have any further effects on her, Medusa then attacked directly. She flew towards Athena and brandished her claws.

Athena used her shield skillfully to fend off her attacks without much effort. Loud clashes of metals were heard throughout the devastated colosseum.

Not gaining any advantages, she started using her tails to attack her from tricky angles. Athena then was forced to use her sword to meet her tail.

Athena could have finished her off if she revealed her true strength but she wanted to confirm something before killing her, 'Hmm... Her Divine Core is already mostly converted to a Corrupted Core, but one percent of it is still hanging on... She still can't give up on something? Is it that man she came with? Did she really fell in love as that two-faced human said?... Too bad... You can't experience something like that as you're a threat to us gods and the whole world... If you three sisters didn't manifest as goddess through beliefs, then maybe, we could have been friends.'

Athena kept fending off no matter what kind of attack Medusa throws at her to wait for the last one percent to be converted. But no matter how long she waited, it didn't happen, 'No choice then... I have to use those chains again... I'm sorry, but you'll have to suffer more.'

Athena's sword shone brightly after she raised it up. Swinging it down, a wave of golden energy shoots out from it and hits Medusa squarely dropping her to the ground like a meteor creating a large crater, "Gah!!!"

Cloud of dust and debris rose up when Medusa hit the ground. With another wave of her sword, Athena conjured a wind to blow the clouds of dust off and revealed the lying Medusa coughing out blood.

Not letting her recover, Athena threw her sword towards her, impaling her to the ground through her stomach, "Ahh!!!"

Those from the Perseus Clan cheered loudly to Medusa's apparent end.

Athena slowly descended towards Medusa. She grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out spraying Medusa's blood everywhere.

Medusa cried out in pain. In desperate attempt to retaliate, she infused most of her Mana to her cry making the remaining weak members of the Perseus Clan lose their lives instantly. A wail of death forced them into a forced slumber that they would never wake up from.

Athena ignored those who just died and just stared at Medusa while she retreated. A few seconds later, from the wound on her stomach, 9 silver chains came out from it that made Medusa scream in pain again.

Those silver chains hovered around Medusa before coiling around her, effectively restraining any type of movement from her. Soon after, blood-like veins appeared on the surface of the chains and renewed Medusa's screams.

Medusa, however, hasn't given up. She pooled every last bit of her Mana for one final attack. The driving force behind these actions is her desire to take revenge for the man she could never see again and who died because he got involved with her. Although she's regretting that she ever met him, she was also very thankful for the fact. A contrasting feeling that would never get resolved due to the man's fate.

A large red magic circle appeared in front of her a 5 meters in diameter purple beam of light shoot out from it towards Athena.

Athena was shocked that she was still able to attack with that much vigor and used her shield to block the attack. Receiving it directly, she was thrown off and hit the edge of the isolated space destroying everything in her path.

Medusa was not able to celebrate because she now knows what these chains are for. Ever since it first tied her up, she thought that it was just there to keep her in this land. But now the chains suddenly revealed a new feature which is to corrupt her Divine Core.

Due to her rage and despair, Medusa's Divine Core started corrupting itself and she descended to a monster known as Gorgon. As her Divine Core kept getting corrupted, the last vestige of her rationality slowly disappears until it stops at the very end. That's where she keeps the memories of her sisters and she doesn't know when, but her interactions with Kisuke too. Desperately holding on to this last Divinity of her so that she won't ever forget those precious memories.

But these chains are now forcefully corrupting her that her successful attack against Athena became a trifling matter.

She tried resisting it but she knew that it wouldn't take long before she completely loses all those memories along with her emotions and become just a killing machine until her end, 'No! No! I don't want that! Please! I don't want this.' She desperately shouted in her mind.

Athena recovered from a bit of damage she received and waited for Medusa's complete corruption before killing her, 'At last... Without her Divine Core, she wouldn't be able to gather herself back...'

'Elder sisters... I don't want this' Medusa started tearing up.

She suddenly remembered Kisuke's face with a cheeky smile that gave her reassurance that somehow, everything is going to be fine, 'Kisuke... Please help me! I don't want to forget you!'

"Hey~. What's up with the snotty face? Who made you cry? Want this big brother to kick her butt?"

An out of place words were heard throughout the whole space. A white-masked man in a suit suddenly appeared in front of Medusa.

"Ki...suke?"

"Yep~ It's your lovable and handsome shopkeeper~."
