Chapter 547
Among the gods charging at him, Zeus was not there.
To be precise, Zeus and Poseidon were not there.
Those two were among the supreme gods of Olympus, so they had not stepped forward first.
Hades was absent too.
Strictly speaking, Hades was not one of the Twelve Olympians, and aside from the Titanomachy, he was famous for almost never leaving the underworld below.
'Then that means they’re all trash-mob level.'
Su-ho said to Jack,
“Stay back.”
- Understood.
Jack did not even ask why.
Because he had absolute faith in Su-ho.
As soon as Jack went back into the shadows, Su-ho immediately activated skill after skill.
[ Blessing is activated. ]
[ Saint Dome is activated. ]
After lightly inflating his stats, he summoned a massive shield.
For the moment, this was enough preparation.
He had no intention of escaping into the Subspace House.
Right now, the only ones on this battlefield were himself and the enemies.
That was why he thought he could finally bring out that move now.
The Olympian gods blocked by Saint Dome pounded on it like mad.
In the meantime, Su-ho opened his status window.
[ An Su-ho ]
Lv: 335
Class: Bloody Cardinal
Rank: Middle Player
Betting: ＜Umbra＞
Traits▲: ＜New Blood★＞＜Hercules▲＞＜King of a Ruined Nation＞＜Grid’s Partner＞＜Sun-Moon Body＞
Gigantic Strength (S): 33
True Demon (S): 295
Super Senses (S): 25
Command (N): 155
Bonus Stats: 36
36 bonus stat points.
He invested every last one of them into True Demon.
He should have assigned them earlier, but there had been no time, so he did it now at least.
Whatever the case, he had to bring out his absolute best combat power.
Now his preparations were truly finished.
Having completed all preparations, Su-ho finally brought out the first move he had prepared.
[ Rage Field is activated. ]
The moment Rage Field activated, the surrounding area was dyed red, and black sparks like crackling lightning leaped through the air.
Rage Field was the fifth skill of the Rage Crusader, which Su-ho had obtained back when he reached level 290 as a Rage Crusader.
Su-ho recalled the information for Rage Field.
[ Rage Field ]
Rank: S
# A Rage Crusader exclusive skill.
# Summons a battlefield filled with rage.
# All beings within Rage Field enter a maximum state of anger and are affected by Blessing of Rage and Curse of Rage.
# The skill remains in effect until the caster deactivates it or runs out of mana.
Rage Field was, literally, a battlefield of rage.
Whether one’s feet were on the ground or one was flying in the sky, as long as they were inside the area designated by the Rage Crusader, every last one of them would fall into an extreme state of anger and be affected by Blessing of Rage and Curse of Rage.
'Attack power goes way up with Blessing of Rage, but the damage you take also skyrockets. Though the pain is reduced, of course.'
And that was not all. The usable skills were also greatly restricted, so those enraged within Rage Field had a very high chance of unleashing indiscriminate violence without distinguishing ally from enemy.
Sure enough, the Olympian gods, already enraged by Ares’s death, grew even more furious under the effects of Rage Field.
Kwa-boom! Kwa-boom!! Kwa-kwa-kwa-boom!!
The enraged gods pounded on Saint Dome like mad.
It looked as though Saint Dome would shatter at any moment.
In fact, it probably would not last much longer.
Even with his True Demon stat above 300 and inflated by Blessing.
On top of that, the phenomena one would normally expect from Rage Field did not occur.
For example, reason being paralyzed by extreme anger to the point of striking the person next to them without distinction between ally and enemy.
But of course it had not happened.
If they had just been ordinary monsters or ordinary people, that would have been one thing, but rotten fish was still fish. Every one of them was still a lofty god.
'At the very least, they’d all be quasi-boss class.'
But if it had ended here, he would never have told Jack to stand back.
Su-ho’s face was still full of ease.
Just as one lets cooked rice steam long enough to finish properly, once Rage Field had worked enough, Su-ho activated the second move he had prepared.
[ Frenzy Valhalla is activated. ]
The moment the skill activated, white and red effects burst forth, and from among them appeared Valkyries of Rage wearing dark crimson armor and black wings, who began blowing their horns.
Then an astonishing phenomenon occurred.
“Aaaaaaaahhh!!”
“Kkeuaaahhh!!”
“Die!! Die!! Die!!”
“You goddamn bastard!!”
Shouts bursting out hot and violent.
They were condensed rage exploding outward, and astonishingly enough, the source of the sounds was the Olympian gods who had been pounding on Saint Dome.
And that was not all.
After screaming ferociously like madmen, they stopped attacking Saint Dome and began swinging fists, spears, and blades at one another, descending into a chaotic brawl.
“......!”
“......!”
Watching that sight, Zeus’s and Poseidon’s eyes widened.
Naturally so.
From the look of it, the second skill was another power that tampered with the mind just like the first one, but no matter what kind of power it was, they had never imagined it could disturb even the minds of lofty gods.
But Su-ho was certain.
Because Frenzy Valhalla had been made for exactly that purpose.
Su-ho recalled the information for Frenzy Valhalla.
[ Frenzy Valhalla ]
Rank: S
# A Rage Crusader exclusive skill.
# The ultimate secret art and supreme technique a Rage Crusader can use.
# The instant Frenzy Valhalla is activated, Valkyries of Rage are summoned and perform the Song of Rage.
# Anyone who possesses even a shred of anger, upon hearing the horns blown by the Valkyries of Rage, falls into a state of extreme rage, loses reason, and becomes a berserker who fights without distinguishing ally from enemy.
# The skill remains in effect until the caster deactivates it or runs out of mana.
Frenzy Valhalla.
It was the supreme art and ultimate technique a Rage Crusader could use.
Literally, it opened a true banquet of madness, turning everyone without exception into a blood-soaked asura field where all slaughtered one another.
'So I finally get to use this.'
Until now, he had never really found the right timing for it and had ended up leaving it unused.
But now, with no allies around him and only enemies everywhere, he could use it all he wanted.
It was a magnificent sight.
Without lifting a finger, he had provoked all those gods into killing one another.
Watching it all from the shadows, Jack slowly emerged and smiled beside Su-ho like a military strategist.
- So you’d been hiding an entertaining power?
- It is entertaining. But I wasn’t sure. I’d never used it before, so I thought it might drag the Shadow Knights into it too.
- Is it because they’re affected by the sound of those horns? If that’s the case, it should be fine. It doesn’t seem to be stimulating me either, after all.
- Really?
- If you don’t believe me, we can test it right now.
Jack snapped his fingers.
Then, from Jack’s shadow, a gigantic Shadow Divine Beast burst forth.
[ Umbra’s Shadow Legacy is activated. ]
[ Shadow Divine Beast King Hollow Jack summons the Black Shadow Dragon. ]
“Kiaaaaaaaaah!!”
[ The Shadow Divine Beast Black Shadow Dragon uses Boss Monster-Class Fear. ]
What had been summoned was the only Shadow Dragon, the Black Shadow Dragon.
The moment it appeared, it let out a high cry and began tearing through the Olympian gods who were fighting like mad.
Indeed.
Just as Jack had said, the Black Shadow Dragon was unaffected by either Rage Field or Frenzy Valhalla.
Su-ho grinned.
“Nice. Then let the soldiers loose too.”
- Excellent idea!
[ Umbra’s Shadow Legacy is activated. ]
[ Shadow Divine Beast King Hollow Jack summons the Black Army. ]
As though his whole body had been itching from holding back all this time, Jack threw both arms up like a cheer, and in an instant Shadow Knights surged upward.
Then they charged at the Olympian gods, who were too busy killing one another, and before long the Olympian gods began collapsing to the ground one by one, bleeding.
It was then.
Kwarrrrrng!!
From somewhere, a massive tidal wave suddenly appeared and crashed down over both the Olympian gods and the Shadow Knights.
In an instant, the inside of the castle was filled with seawater, and from the center of it a waterspout rose into the air. Then someone flew down from the sky and landed lightly atop it.
Holding a trident, he was Poseidon, one of the supreme gods of Olympus.
He fixed Su-ho with a fierce gaze.
Su-ho was not swept away by the seawater.
For now, Saint Dome was still holding firm.
Poseidon, still staring at Su-ho, spoke.
“Nephew, this little prank has gone too far.”
“What kind of nephew tries to kill his nephew? But when you lot try to kill me, that’s just a prank?”
“Hahahahaha!”
Instead of answering, Poseidon laughed at the top of his lungs, then bared a grin and said,
“Good. You are, after all, the hero among heroes who led the Gigantomachy to victory, so you should have at least this much power. But do you really think you can face even me?”
“A man who wouldn’t even dare squeak in front of Typhon is running his mouth now? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
“What?”
“You saw what happened to Ares, right? You’ll be fish food soon enough too, so just wait.”
They were bastards blinded by jealousy.
He did not particularly want to play along with them, either.
Su-ho immediately began arming himself.
[ You summon Hercules’s Lion-Head Helmet. ]
[ You summon Hercules’s Club. ]
First, the gear that symbolized the real Hercules.
[ Blood Armory is activated. ]
[ Blessing is activated. ]
[ Paladian is activated. ]
[ Divine Aura is activated. ]
[ Mana Detection is activated. ]
[ Endurance is activated. ]
[ Enhancement is activated. ]
[ Blacksmith’s Eye is activated. ]
[ Sword Energy is activated. ]
[ Rage Mode is activated. ]
[ Foxfire is activated. ]
Next, he layered on every buff he could use.
[ Eclipse is activated. ]
[ You receive sunlight and moonlight. ]
[ The Sun and Moon Runes react. ]
[ The power of the sun and moon is activated. ]
[ You receive the blessing of the sun and moon. ]
[ All stats increase by 2%. ]
[ All recovery increases by 2%. ]
[ The fire attribute is activated. ]
[ The light attribute is activated. ]
[ The ice attribute is activated. ]
[ The dark attribute is activated. ]
He raised Eclipse into the sky above, where it would embrace them all.
And finally.
[ Weaken is activated. ]
[ Seal of Pain is activated. ]
[ Enrage is activated. ]
[ Blessing of Rage is activated. ]
[ Curse of Rage is activated. ]
Just as he had with Typhon, he fairly bestowed the full debuff gift set on Poseidon too.
Feeling his power weaken significantly, Poseidon’s eyebrow twitched.
But he did not make a show of groaning or pretending weakness.
“Nephew, is that the end of your preparations?”
“As if.”
Su-ho spun his sword around in a circle.
Then he swung it broadly forward and activated one more skill.
[ Earthquake Tsunami is activated. ]
It was none other than Earthquake Tsunami, the skill he had copied from Poseidon during the Titanomachy.
