章節 101: DA : Chapter 101: Angels of Death I

( Percy POV )

He heard Jason's roar as the primordial god bolted forward, his white blade raised to the side in a clear intent to cut across as he barreled towards Hyperion.

The elder titan was no slouch though and dropped Amphitrite before raising his own sword in time to block the slash, the impact sounding like a thunder clap. However, Hyperion was simply not prepared for the sheer force of the strike as he was launched off his feet and into the fortress behind him, plowing through thick stone like it was little better than cardboard.

Jason paused to glance at Amphitrite before looking back to them to which Nico nodded and raced forward. Jason caught the gesture and turned to where Hyperion was launched, kicking forward while cutting down a pair of cyclops that tried to get at him before the white blur disappeared into the walls.

Percy for his part didn't remain idle as he drew Sin and Purgatory, both swords radiating cold and darkness that clearly unnerved the closest mortals.

Percy didn't give them any time to find their courage as he ran forward, his blades slicing through mortals like wet tissue, irrelevant of their military grade Kevlar. Some shouted out orders as other went guns blazing, peppering him with lead bullets that only suited to annoy him. He scrunched one eye when a bullet rebounded off his cheek so he pulled up his hood before continuing on.

He jumped over two telchines that attack him, lopping off their heads with a near lazy swing of Purgatory, the katana finding little resistance in their hides. Once he landed he scanned around to see Nico surround Amphitrite with his wings as she checked her over quickly while she mumbled something.

Then, with surprising gentleness for the current situation, he picked her up in a bridal carry and without preamble, jumped straight up with his wings extended. With a powerful beat of his wings he continued to ascend until Percy felt that he left the bounds of the barrier.

Then, without warning of any sort, flashed away. Some of the mortals that had been looking spontaneously combusted with his departure before most of the forces converged on him instead.

Percy couldn't help a small grin forming as the thrill of battle got to him, his swords seemingly pulsing in agreement as he attacked. He ducked under the swing of a cyclops nearing him as he sliced right through its gut, the monster bursting into golden dust without even a cry of pain but he didn't even slow down.

He flicked his wrist, small bursts of Voidfire flinging of Purgatory and landing on several mortals and monsters alike. Within seconds those afflicted started to scream in pain as the fires spread quickly to consume their prey, even up to the essence or souls leaving frostbitten clumps of flesh.

He didn't really feel bothered by it, if anything, the mortals killed with his flames would escape whatever punishments their lives had accumulated for them with the sweet embrace of oblivion.

He ran passed the burning ones, jumping up and kicking one of the larger cyclops in the chest hard enough to cave in the chest cavity while launching the body before spinning around, his swords rending through his companions before they could even raise their clubs against him.

He then landed and was about to send another wave of Voidfire before his instincts flare making him bring up Sin behind him. The Viking sword clashed with a celestial bronze sword having been swung by one of the remaining cyclops, this one dressed with a tunic of the Atlantian army.

'So Poseidon really has joined up with Pontus,' he thought in distaste as he deflected the larger blade to the side and brought both of his swords together in a diagonal slash. The cyclops raised his sword up to guard in time … or so he thought but sadly for him, Percy wasn't pulling his swings.

The cyclops' face went into disbelief and shock as both Sin and Purgatory cut through the standard grade celestial bronze sword and then went through him as well, severing his head and his torso from the rest of his body.

There was a spurt of the near black blood of monsters before he burst into golden dust as Percy leapt back and not a moment too soon. Someone had a bazooka of all things and the warhead had just zipped under Percy and hit the ground before exploding violently with a large shockwave that killed the closest mortals from force alone.

Percy grunted a bit as he braced against it but the pressure washed away quickly enough while leaving a perfectly circular crater where the cyclops once stood. 'Great, what's next, an attack helicopter,' he wondered as he straightened up.

He sighed as he shook off some of the dust before turning his attention to the stunned mortals and remaining monsters. He did a quick count while giving them his best fanged grin that only unnerved them more, especially with his eyes glowing beneath the hood.

"Now let-"

He was cut off with an explosion of power shock the entire island … and it wasn't Jason's. He glanced back to the fortress as the entire area heated up under the harsh glare of the sun. Soon after a literal comet of golden light burst out of the fortress, quickly followed by a familiar white one. Both streaked skyward and off in the direction of Spain if he remembered correctly. 'Well that's going to get out of hand,' he thought before returning his attention to the forces still on the island.

"As I was saying, let's keep this party a little more private," he said as he spun his swords in hand before stabbing both into the ground. On impact a blast of cold came from him as the sky started to darken above them.

Some of the mortals glanced up to see a literal shell of darkness forming overhead and quickly spreading while the ground beneath them started to freeze.

He could see beyond them as even the sea started to freeze for over a hundred meters past the shore as temperatures plummeted and the shell, with one hole at the very center, came down around the frozen waters. Almost everything fell to darkness except the last bit of light coming through the top of his shell right over him.

Percy then wrenched his swords free and jumped up, hovering some meters above them as they looked at him as if he was the devil himself. Well, as far as they were concerned, he probably was.

Mercs, cutthroats, and generally paid thugs the lot of them with some monsters sprinkled in. Not an ounce of mercy was necessary here. With that thought he descended upon them, the last speck of light being swallowed as the shell completed itself, bathing the island in darkness, cold … and blood…

...

( Jason POV )

 A Few Minutes Prior.

Jason chased after Hyperion, knowing that Nico would get Amphitrite to safety. He rushed past the shattered rock and landed in a meeting hall of sorts within the fortress just as Hyperion recovered his footing, his large claymore held at the ready.

"Grace," the titan growled in disgust.

"So Pontus has informed you who we are," Jason replied as he kept Revelation held at his in a single hold while white lightning crackled in his left. "And I'm assuming Poseidon's been informed as well?"

"Need to know basis," Hyperion answered as he started to stalk to the side while keeping his blade aimed at Jason. "Wouldn't want some to … question which side their on…"

"Afraid more of your siblings will side with us then," Jason surmised, knowing that some titans like possibly Koios would defect and come to them if he learned his wife is one of the protogenoi now.

Hyperion let off a growl at the mention of his 'traitorous' family, including his own wife and children.

"They'll receive their punishments in due time," Hyperion said menacingly before giving a disgusting smirk. "But first I'm putting you down and then getting back to the little sea slut."

Jason snarled at that before blasting forward, clearing the distance in a blink of an eye but Hyperion managed to form a solid block this time, their blades looking with sparks between the meeting point.

Jason could see Hyperion scowl as his arms trembled before the titan started to gather some power and slowly push the swords toward Jason. He wasn't about to let Hyperion get the advantage though as he suddenly released the lock and spun to the side while Hyperion lost balance before Jason lashed out with a kick.

It landed with a satisfying crunch in Hyperion's ribs before sending the titan tumbling as Jason chased yet again. He stepped forward and brought his sword down but Hyperion recovered his footing enough to raise up his sword and deflect Jason's swing to the side. Then, shockingly quick for someone of his size, he brought around his own slash.

Jason hastily blocked with his coat covered arm since he couldn't bring up his sword in time. There was a clash of sparks as his forearm sent a pulse of pain but Hyperion's sword failed to cut past the manifestation of power, even if the impact itself was nothing short of monstrous.

Jason skid back from the blow as Hyperion rushed him to press the attack but Jason was ready. He sidestepped a hasty stab, swiping up with Revelation to knock aside Hyperion's sword before quickly bringing it down but the titan pulled back just barely enough to save his skin but not the breastplate.

The screech of metal ringed in their ears as his sword cut through the divine metal as Hyperion staggered back. The titan looked at his plated armor in surprise before lifting the side of his jacket, the foot shaped dent where Jason's earlier kick landed being clear as day.

"Impressive strength and weapons, I'll give you that," the titan said as he got into a ready stance again. "But not enough to best me."

"Says the one sporting the injury," Jason retorted getting a glare from the titan. "But I'm nowhere near finished with you."

( Jason POV )

"Impressive strength and weapons, I'll give you that," the titan said as he got into a ready stance again. "But not enough to best me."

"Says the one sporting the injury," Jason retorted getting a glare from the titan. "But I'm nowhere near finished with you."

...

He charged again, meeting Hyperion mid-swing as their blades collided with a blast of searing light.

Jason grunted with a violent shove, surprising the titan before he stabbed forward at Hyperion's neck, just barely nicking the exposed skin before Hyperion used his braced forearm to push his sword away and make a slash at Jason's torso. Jason saw it coming though and dropped to one knee as the blade overshot before his wings flicked forward much to Hyperion's shock.

The titan threw himself back but not before several of the sharp-edged feathers cut into part of his thigh making the titan give a short cry of pain and surprise.

Jason pressed forward with a rising slice, knocking Hyperion's sword up before he jumped, a flying knee nailing the titan in the kisser and knocking him back. Sadly the titan rolled to the side and back to his feet when Jason followed through with a falling stab, his sword mincing through the stone floor like putty.

He looked to the titan as Hyperion spit out a wad of ichor, his lips busted up nicely. "Don't expect me to fight like a roman," Jason quipped as he took a ready stance, this time both hands on the sword before he lunged forward and brought Revelation down to which Hyperion used both hands with his sword to block.

The blow created another blast of light, shaking the stone hall around them as any debris was blown back in a violent gust. Hyperion grimaced as he dropped to one knee but held firm but then Jason smirked as he channeled his lightning through his sword and into Hyperion's.

The titan gave a shout of pain as he flinched back but Jason capitalized and kicked forward, nailing the titan in the sternum as the breastplate crumpled around his foot and sent Hyperion careening back into the far wall.

Jason recovered his footing as he locked his eyes on the plum of dust, looking for any movement. Just to the left corner he saw a silhouette and lounged at it, giving a diagonal slash but was parried quickly.

Before he could come around for another slash Hyperion's sword gave off a blinding flash of light. Though unable to disorient him like it would all others, the light still flooded his eyes and blocked out everything else. Then he coughed up as a fist was slugged into his gut and he was blown back into the air.

He spread his wings for a moment as he corrected himself before landing, the momentum still pushing him back as his feet carved up the stone floor. As he finally pulled to a stop the dust completely settled to let him see Hyperion with some ichor staining his lips and his breastplate crumpled around the center. Hyperion was giving him an absolutely venomous glare as he spit out a wad of ichor.

"It seems that this state simply isn't enough," he growled before his entire frame started to pulse wildly.

Jason felt the very air become heavy, Hyperion's dense power of a titanic god flaring rapidly with enough force that even Jason had to brace himself against the shockwaves.

Then, without preamble there was an explosion of power, vaporizing the first layer of stone around them as fractures formed around and Hyperion became a veritable beacon of golden light. Before Jason could say or do anything the golden figure seemed to slouch before kicking off, bursting clean through the roof.

"Oh no you don't!" Jason shouted as his frame glowed in white as his wings spread and he kicked off for the chase.

He flew through the newly created exist with practiced ease, leaving a near solid stream of light behind him as he chased the comet that was Hyperion into the sky.

He was vaguely aware of the island left behind and could feel only Percy's presence. 'He'll be fine alone,' he thought before narrowing his eyes as he chased after Hyperion. The wind tugged and battered against his body as they moved faster and faster, a veritable roar of turbulence following in their wake.

A thousand, two thousand, and so on they kept ascending until Hyperion pulled a sudden stop to which Jason relaxed, both floating some fifty meters or so apart while Jason got a good look at Hyperion.

The titan's divine form had changed his meager breastplate and bracers for full body armor of top tier celestial bronze glowing with light energy. The plated skirt ended just at the knees, which were then covered by thick look guards that ended just above the ankles. His shoulders were surprisingly bare until just after the elbow with thick bracers that partly overlapped the wrists.

He wore a full commander's helm with a flaming gold plume, his eyes behind the visor glowing completely and his blade held easily at his side while he seemed to merely stand on the air itself. And to top off he stood some thirty feet in height.

"And here I thought you titans never bothered to learn to warp the world around you," he muttered to himself as his wings flapped lazily even if he kept the muscles taut and ready for action.

"An old art to be sure," Hyperion returned as he glanced down at his own feet.

"Requiring far more focus and natural intuition but then again, with sufficient practice the simple matter of walking on air is nothing … or is it that you haven't mastered this art?" he tried for a taunt.

"Hardly," Jason scoffed as he glanced back at his own wings, his preferred method of travel when in the air.

All of the current council members had mastered the art as a method of training how to accurately control their divine power and Nyx had never been satisfied until they could all hold standing on air while upside down for three hours without wasting more energy than necessary.

From what he'd heard, over half of the Olympians needed to assume divine form to basically throw away their energy into forming a solid surface underfoot rather than properly focus on it. Given that Hyperion assumed divine form before doing it leads credence to him being in that group but Jason could feel how actually little energy was being used.

"Ready to play little maggot?" Hyperion asked as he leveled his significantly bigger sword.

"Figured you'd depend on size," Jason muttered as he readied his sword but Hyperion only growled before he rushed forward in an explosion of light.

Jason's eyes widened in surprise at the sheer speed and barely managed to bring his sword up in time to guard but the hit felt like Ladon had tackled him and he would know from experience! The impact blew him back as his wings flapped to adjust while his arms protested from the hit as he grit his teeth. He finally gained control only for Hyperion's immense form to appear in blazing glory before him and bring his claymore down with a roar.

Again Jason raised his sword but the hit plowed him down, the edge of Hyperion's blade skidding down and cutting right over Jason's left eye. He hissed at the sting of the cut, blinking away the platinum ichor dripping into his, luckily, uncut eye as he plummeted. He could see Hyperion flip upside down before tensing his legs and kicking off towards Jason.

The difference in speed was clear as Hyperion closed the distance but as he made for a stab Jason flared his wings, forcing his body to roll to the side as Hyperion overshot. Using the roll Jason swung Revelation around, being rewarded with the blade slicing into the titan's bicep as he passed but not enough to honestly wound said being.

Jason didn't push the offence though as he corrected himself but remained in a head dive towards the approaching sea. He glanced at Hyperion and saw the titan trying to maneuver around so his feet were pointed downwards to then slow making Jason smirk.

That was the very reason he used his wings, so that he didn't need to point his feet in a single direction before creating a solid surface. He was free to move in the air without a limit to direction with his wings.

Knowing that he opened his wings to full, cutting his momentum considerable but not enough to pull a complete spot, not that it was his intention. He angled himself into a steep incline as the waters got closer before he rapidly pulled up.

The sheer pressure created an explosion on the water's surface as he just barely turned up enough to go parallel to the seas. The mist and water was kicked up in a turbulent wave behind him as he sped across the sea in the direction of land.

He made out a port and city beyond somewhat, clicking his teeth before pulling up as he glance back. Hyperion was trying to chase and just now started to lob bolts of golden light down at Jason. He swerved in and out of it as he tried to gain speed while leaving an even thicker stream of white light behind him.

The land was approaching rapidly and he knew if they got to close just being within fifteen meters of Hyperion's presence would incinerate them, not to mention what a glance would do.

He spun around as he swung Revelation, an arc of white lightning in the form of a blade shooting out at the surprised Hyperion. The titan guarded against it but lost his momentum and breaking his attack before Jason rapidly altered and soared upwards again.

He could hear Hyperion's angry call but paid it no mind as he rose higher and higher. Again they joined the upper clouds, punching through them with ease even as Jason bit back a curse while rolling, just barely dodging a fucking plane of all things. He noticed it getting shaky on his pass and focused on it for a moment, calming the atmosphere around it while also scanning for Hyperion.

He didn't have to wait long for the enraged titan to appear just a few meters off, another blast of golden light already launched to which Jason swatted away with a bat like swing of his sword even as he was pushed back further. He eyed the titan with distaste as he relaxed his grip slightly and rolled his shoulders to relieve some tension as the titan prepared his own sword again. 'No way around it, I'll actually have to get serious,' he thought as he reassessed the threat level of the elder titan.

"Feeling nervous now Grace?" Hyperion asked when he noticed that Jason returned to holding Revelation with only one hand.

Jason didn't dignify that with a response, instead focusing on his manifestation of power. By his will it started to shift and distort as his entire frame began to glow brightly to the point Hyperion was forced to squint.

A few seconds the light died down and the titan gasped at him, his entire body suddenly getting tenser as he realized that Jason was pulling another trick from his sleeve.

Where once was pure light formed into a hooded jacket was now something that wouldn't seem out of place in the medieval times of Europe.

His jacket had distorted and reshaped to form a finally plated breastplate molded to his broad chest and sculpted core. Underneath the breastplate was a form of long-sleeved mesh covering all his skin from his wrists to the underside of his chin.

Thick bracers of light and layered plates on his outer biceps guarded his arms from harm. Then his pants had also become a duller light, almost grey with the same layered light over his thighs and shin braces connected to his boots.

Even his white wings now sported near silvery, finely serrated plates along the length of the outermost feather, adding a deadly edge to his already dangerous appendage.

Lastly was the hood, still formed but now more closely merged to his head, the crown dipping down enough to obscure his eyes from his enemy, along with a seemingly usual amount of light coming from within the hood to overshadow his face till just his mouth and jawline were visible.

His entire body glowed with the white light of his domains, white lightning arcing along the armor, wings, and blade all the same. The true form of his manifestation, a more neutral representation of what his divine form might look like while also bringing to bare the power of his domains.

A form that allowed optimal control even while letting them be seen by mortals without the risk of vaporizing them, though they couldn't tolerate his presence for too long.

And more than enough power to rip apart one rampant titan.
