Going High Up

"It's a pity Excalibur is gone, I really liked dual wielding as well.."

"Well, for now let's beat this man! Stream on!"

"Streaming has begun:0.001"

I walked in front of Hercules, holding Kuroka with only one of my both hands.

"Will you be fine with just one sword? Need me to cut off one of my arms to make it equal?"

"There's no need for that" I said greeting him with an evil smile directing that I'm about to obliterate him.

I held the sword high up with both of my hands and thrusted it straight into the ground under me.

The ground started activating it's ability.

"What the fuck is happening! Did you do this fuck bastard!" Said Hercules as he tried to flee from the scene.

"New abilities:-

Song of battallion:Arena"

The ground starts violently distorting in a fixed distance.

The ground soon forms to a sphere, swallowing both of us whole; Notifications popped up for Hercules.

"Hidden ability of the successor of the demon king:Battle of swords has activated, Your abilities and statistics have decreased by 50%, penalty has been activated due to interference of a higher level being. Your decreased stats have been transferred to the opposition party."

"What the fuck do you mean by that you damned system!?" He tries to beat the living shit out of the system, but fails as the system summons a thunderbolt on him.

"Kurgh! The fuck is this happening!" Says Hercules letting out a little scream, wiping blood off his lips.

"You're a god, you shouldn't use those words, Sir Hercules."

"You're a god too! You shouldn't too! That doesn't only apply to me!"

"I wonder if you're just an idiot or slow on information, My father has stripped me of my immortality, I'm just a god in name and blood now."

"A mortal god? This couldn't get any funnier!" Replied Hercules; soon transferring into a large series of insults directed at my impotency.

"You're asking for death, bitch."

I use air dash to rush up to Hercules but he deflects with his steely Armor sending me flying to a different direction.

"That's a cheat skill!"

"Even if my statistics are halved and I'm injured, no way I'm losing to the 1st ranker of floor 39."

"We will see soon!"

Hercules first bumps both his knuckles and runs at a high speed towards me; Little did he know, I was well prepared for this.

"Heavenly Darkness!" My sword, as dark as the night sky, was imbued with the power of true darkness, glowing with a slight hint of divine energy.

"What the-" The dark divine aur startled Hercules, But within a few seconds, He regains his composure.

"That is certainly a technique from the Demon Lord of the Murim, but I feel the power of the Angels from Olympus..!"

"Yeah, You're right, I sensed that too! But you have no chance to inform this to your friends, because I'm gonna obliterate you right now right here!"

"You speak too much, Can you even deflect this?" Said Hercules, leaving an afterimage, suddenly appearing behind me that even I couldn't see, But in the last second, I used sword aura to block that attack.

The aura burned through his impenetrable gloves.

"Wha... What!"

I quickly turn behind me, Moving my body like water to swiftly launch a strike.

"Too weak against the greatest Armor of Olympus!" Said Hercules as he easily blocks my strike with a stroke of his forearm.

The sword broke, but it regenerated itself with magic power, forming countless shards of broken metal.

That left me shocked, as though I had faced an absolute monster.

"You're gonna kill me because I refused to join Olympus? Pretty harsh, don't you think so too?"

"Shut up! That was just one reason, now I have 2 more reasons, You're going to be a bigger threat to us high rankers. You possess unlimited potential, and the power of light and dark."

"So, What if I kill you right now, do you die?"

"Yes, But my soul is immortal, I can be recalled by remaking my body from scratch from the greatest blacksmith in all of Olympus."

"One more question." I said as our weapons clashed against each other.

"What if I immobilised you and kidnapped you, will you be able to transfer your soul?"

"No, obviously not, until or unless my current body dies, I cannot transfer to another body."

"Then this will be a peace of cake." Said I as I used my unarmed hand to poke a hole into my inventory.

"Item name; Ordinary rope."

"You dare insult me? I'm known as the giant of Olympus, ordinary ropes cannot be used for me."

"You think I am joking right?"

"Yeah."

I control the energy of true darkness and the power of divinity and use it on the rope.

One end imbued with Darkness and the other with Light.

"I never thought I would win against you, You fool! You fell straight into my trap."

"Even if it's strengthened by your magic, it's still far too weak!"

"I'm confident in trap formations as well. Look beneath you."

It were the shards of the broken sword, laid out in a perfect trap.

"Activate!"

The trap formation had activated, making any skills useless, not even mana could be used, with the rope binding the target's hands and legs, it was the perfect trap.

"You dare understand me! Fallen god!"

"I'm not a god anymore, I'm Kuramoto Katsuo, the mortal who will achieve immortality and take the throne of the strongest god!"

"You dream well for a weak kid! I will see you soon in Olympus, let us fight there with our full power!"

"Where do you think you're going? I'm gonna kidnap you, And form a slave contract with you."

"A slave contract with a mortal? I would rather slit my throat with poisonous fangs of a snake."

"That is pretty rude you know? Take him!"
