《HERO CHRONICLES:》BK2; Chapter 52: [ Hades, Greek God of the Dead! ]
Advertisement
Explosions that seemed like fireworks, louder, more menacing and in the street were filled with ‘Ooohhhs!!!’ and ‘Aaaahs!’ turning to shrieks and screams.
Chaos erupted…
People were running desperately, children are wailing and crying and exploding trees and building making as if filming a movie about World War 1 and 2.
Beasts, skeletons and soldiers filled the street as if doing break dancing while shouting rock ‘n roll.
However, what differs is the bright red blood spilling everywhere like a pool in mid-summer.
In the center of this fighting stood a warrior, majestically swinging his golden sword like a hero-wielding-holy sword. Seeing the destruction and chaos in the kingdom his face changed a little.
But he remained calm and executed a command.
“All soldiers defend! Eliminate all those enemies who stepped on our land! Show them the power of the knights!”
“””Yes!!!””” Hundreds of elite soldiers and knights answered loudly.
“Protect our honor! All hail Master Draig Vilestone!!!!”
“””All hail!”””
“Soldiers! Evacuate the citizens! Knights! Come with me, we need to protect the people!”
“””Understood!”””
With Draig Vilestone’s lead, all the soldiers and knights did their job accordingly.
In the skies above Draig Vilestone and the other soldiers, a few large flying beasts and one young man, was quietly observing everything that happened in the ground.
Just like watching some pests and insects, his mouth turned into a sneer.
The young man glanced at Draig; his expression seemed to be extremely complicated.
Hatred, surprise, disgusts and any other emotions that were quite difficult to understand were mixed together into one.
“Use fire! Magicians, use fire based spells! These huge insects are afraid of fire!” Draig Vilestone had plenty of battle experience.
With a wave of his hand, the magicians behind him immediately shot out [Fire balls], [Flame Lance], [Flame arrows] and any other fire based spells.
Subsequently, many soldiers and knights also slashed their swords to the burning monsters and humungous insects that had crawled through the walls of the city, making them squeak in pain and panic.
The flying beasts and insects in the sky were temporarily biding their time. They had landed on the roof of some houses and in the street.
Near the enclosed walls outside the city, countless skeletons and beasts were trying to crawl in. There were poisonous fogs and fluids and spider webs all over.
From time to time, there were soldiers caught by the spider webs.
Luckily there were enough people defending the city and they were also battle hardened, their reactions and reflexes are too amazing that they immediately adapt to the dangerous situations.
Currently, there were not a lot of casualties amongst the soldiers because of the help from the adventurers and mercenaries that quickly joined the battle.

But it was merely the start of the enemies’ attacks.
The monsters which they killed were not even a thousandth of the total number.
Also, there were still numerous armored skeletons rising from the ground, forming a ghastly sight.
Draig Vilestone furrowed his brows tightly together.
He could tell that this battle will be going to be very difficult… there is also that mysterious youth floating above them, watching as if enjoying their sufferings.
Although he tried to attack him a while ago, he was stopped by the flying beasts and monsters as if protecting him.
… Looking at the dire situation, he could guess that this battle’s initiative was entirely controlled by the enemy.
It was practically a fight to the death… the worst is, that mysterious youth is not some fodder either.
Draig could guess that this mysterious youth is also very strong, most likely stronger than his prided son; Hein Vilestone.
He can even feel his endless power leaking out, making him shudder in fear.
If the other [World Jumper] who are said to possess mysterious power that exceed them by a lot would willing to lend a helping hand, they could perhaps last till dawn but he knew that even with their help they could never defeat the youth… he’s just that strong!
“Fuhahahahaha how amusing, mortals~ for insignificant ants like you to improve to this degree, the creator must have been happy in his graves~ sadly, an ant will always be an ant no matter how you improve it, even if you put wings for it to fly.”
A deep, rich male voice descended from the heavens.
Drag Vilestone was startled as he looked to the sky.
Up ahead, the young looking man was floating, talking mightily while smirking.
He’s a good-looking man who has a bit of an evil looking eye.
He was dressed in a long ancient-looking black silk robes and a crown of braided gold. His skin was albino white and he has shoulder length and jet black hair.
He wasn’t really bulked nor skinny just average but he radiated an unknown power that can make any one feel despair.
Draig Vilestone, who was walking so determinedly and domineeringly like a huge mountain, suddenly waved his golden sword and stabbed into the ground.
“Who are you? What do you want?” Draig shouted.
“You are a brave little mortal but that sort of attitude can only make you fall in the dark, deep abyss for eternity.” The young man said in an oily vice.
“However, I shall spare you this time. First of all, names are powerful things. You don’t just go around using them for no reason but this time I shall comply. For your foolish courage, I shall introduce myself. Here me oh pathetic, foolish little ant! My name is Hades! Ruler of the Underworld! Now bow than to me and accept your deaths!”

The young man who named himself; Hades spoke.
His voice slightly lower than a tenor and was probably in the baritone range but still with his intense eyes coupled with his mesmerizing, evil charisma, not just Draig but all the people who heard him can’t help but feel the numbness creeping into their joints as if tempting them to lie down and kneel. Curl up under his feet and sleep for eternity.
Draig gritted his teeth and barely fought the feeling but inside of him, his emotions have already turned upside down.
“Hades? The God of Underworld?”
His trembling could be heard from his voice.
That slight fear appearing on his handsome, dandy face made everyone present certain.
Afraid. The famous genius swordsman hailed as the strongest in the kingdom and possesses incredible power and demeanor was afraid!
This could not be helped.
Not only him but to anyone under the presence of overwhelming might and power would also shivered in fear.
It was too terrifying and now he calls himself Hades the God of Underworld, One of the rulers of Olympus… even fools would piss their pants.
“Of course. To think you would be unable to recognize the voice of a true God. How immature mortals or should I say as expected of a brainless, pathetic maggots? Yes, I am Hades, one of the three major Gods of Olympus.
Now that I think about it, I also like the name Pluto by the Romans a long time ago… Pluto sounds nice, cold and chilly but this time I should be called Hades, quite a fitting name for one such I~”
The youth -no, Hades laughter shook the whole kingdom.
This was no metaphor.
Like a real earthquake, the ground shook, the walls shook, and so did the buildings as if the ground was also laughing with him.
Skeletons bang their swords towards their shields and armors, clattering noises from their bony jaws, welcoming their God in full praise.
Cautiously confirming the speaker’s name only earned him mockery and derision but Draig didn’t care about it. No!, he have no time to care about it.
If what he said was true then all the people in the kingdom, including him have already been doomed.
Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.
The famous brothers, sons of Kronos. Ruler of the sky, sea and the underworld.
“T, that can’t be! It is said that after the war of Hope, Gods was forbidden to interfere in the mortal world! Then why are you here?”
Draig used all his might to fight his fear.
The place suddenly shook with a tremor so strong as if the ground was saying ‘I’m angry! Give me some human fries’.
Buildings exploded and skeletal warriors and giant insects with faces out from horror films clattered in noises so loud it can burst one’s eardrum.
“Don’t start with me, little maggots! We might have suffered defeat from that war but this time, ‘He’ will rise again and that time will be the time our dream will come true. Cursed those filthy plebeians, for such as I to be imprisoned in that filthy and disgusting place! I shall exact my revenge this time”
This was a real God.
Ruling the Underworld, God of the dead, possessing the might to destroy the world. He was the one with absolute authority. For the first time in his life, Draig truly experienced what the word [God] meant.
Every time Hades spoke, the ground will shake and cracks formed like a spider web in the walls and land.
“Oh don’t be afraid little ants… I didn’t come here to do that yet, it’s just that these pets I borrowed from that Circe is too rowdy that it’s too hard to control…”
Waves after waves of dark miasma hovered; making anyone even Draig felt a shock on his skin as if electrified.
Stench of death fouled the surroundings like a graveyard that can make one vomit and spat out blood.
“T, then… what is it that you want in this little k, kingdom?”
“Oh, just a little confirmation~”
“Confirmation?”
“Ah, confirmation. I just heard a rather… disturbing rumor. I heard that the ‘Fool’ has once again returned.”
“Fool?”
“Yeah, the ‘Fool’…that accursed fool! Loved by the Gods, protected and even saved. Although I was really sure that he have already died that time… but there’s a talk that he again returned in this world.
Though it must be a senseless rumor but by the coming of this bunch of [World Jumper], my thoughts were strengthened. The creator have perished but that witch who always excuse herself from attention was actually willing to create another system… bringing this rowdy bunch in here… something must have happened and I dare say, that something was related to that ‘Fool’ she loved so much… right?”
The presence and oppressiveness which utterly shattered a man’s principles.
Simply facing him caused all resistance to be blown away. Draig could only listen while trembling.
Fool? Who is he talking about?
