Chapter 79 - Fight with Lugh (1)

Chapter 79

Lugh, God of light, justice, the sun, and the storm. I wasn't surprised Lugh appeared before me. Because right before I went back to Japan after slaying Balor, Alice explained to me about it. Alice said the fact Balor suddenly appeared and shouted Lugh's name isn't a coincidence.

Balor himself also said I would be the punching bag until he finds Lugh. That naturally means Lugh already appeared in the world as a heretic god at that time. Unfortunately, there isn't any evident sign of God as big as Lugh in the world.

It can only mean one thing. He is waiting for something. And the thing he is waiting for most likely the God inside the cave. Looks like even Lugh cannot destroy the ancient barrier that hides the cave.

One more thing also certain from Lugh, he has steel elements. Hence, the one who makes Lugh appear and provide him the specific purpose to appear in the world likely the divine ancestor, Guinevere.

From what I heard from Alice, Guinevere was the strongest divine ancestor that exists. And she also has one purpose that is to awaken her lord who has the element of steel. Looks like Lugh wasn't her lord as she just leaves him after telling something to Lugh.

"It seems the evil god has not awake yet. You should feel honored, usurper. This savior will kill you considering you possess the presence of that old tyrant within you." Lugh mockingly said.

'Evil God, huh... The aura of God inside the cave was certainly massive. But it's hard to decide if it's evil or not. Because it feels Evil and not at the same time'

"Musashi, move the gang to one place, and you stay there. I will place a barrier for you." I instructed with my eyes still looking at Lugh.

"B-but how about you? I can help you!" Musashi worriedly said.

"It's fine. I haven't told your father about this, but I am a Godslayer." I smirked and said.

"...Understood, I believe you. Please be careful and come back..." Musashi nodded after looking at my confident expression then said with a concerned tone. Then she runs to the gang and proceeds to move their body one by one.

As she moved them to one place, I made a quite big barrier so they won't get affected by the aftereffect of anything we made here. Besides that, I also placed a massive barrier around the area so ordinary people can't see our battle.

"Are you done, human?" Lugh raised his eyebrow and arrogantly asked.

"Oh, you're waiting like a puppy? What a dog, just like your son." I jokingly said to taunt him.

"...Dog? This me? I AM YOUR SAVIOR, HUMAN!" Lugh raged then run toward me in flash with the golden spear aimed at my heart. Looking at that, once again I assumed Iai stance with Mikazuki Munechika that imbued with divine power and parried the spear.

*Clang* *Swoosh*

Lugh instantly raised his left hand and a miniature sun coming from his hand toward me from a close distance. Looking at that, I instantly adjusted my stance and slashed the miniature sun.

Different from Balor, Lugh's sun wasn't scorched with destruction element rather this Sun was dazzling but the hotness of the sun was higher than Balor.

Without being surprised by the slash, Lugh rotates his spear with two hands and furiously assaulted me. This time, the spear was covered by the dazzling light of the sun. I covered my Katana with more divine power and defended the rotating strikes.

*Zanng* *Clang*

Suddenly, Lugh stopped his rotating strike and thrust the spear to my face. I subtly moved my head to evade the strike.

As if knowing I would evade, Lugh smirked then suddenly thrust his left hand that covered with lightning storm directly aimed at my heart. Looking at that, I adjusted the way I hold my Katana and slashed his hand from below.

*Clang* *Boom*

An explosion occurred when my Katana clashed with Lugh's lightning covered hand. As expected of the god who called 'Master of Skills', he has various ways in a fight. Added with the element of Steel, it would be hard for a normal Campione to fight him. A normal Campione that is.

"You are quite good for an usurper. However, it doesn't matter. In the end, you will be killed by this spear. As I am the savior." Lugh arrogantly said.

Looks like Lugh also doesn't retain the rational mind when he appeared in this world. From what Alice told me, Lugh shouldn't be this arrogant. Or maybe that just the distinctive traits of him as a heretic God that appeared in the world.

"You're good too for an 80s rocker. Well, shall we step up the fight?" I smirked and said. Then, another Katana appeared on my other waist. The katana has a black handle with 13 red dots and red sheats. Its name is Kashuu Kiyomitsu, the famous Katana of Okita Souji.

"Heh, there is no difference even if you add another sword." Lugh mocked and said.

"Oh, we'll see," I smirked, then I instantly teleported in front of Lugh and intentionally used the first technique of Niten Ichi-Ryu: Buran.

It was the upgrade version of the eleventh technique of Niten Ichi-Ryu: One sword style – Fubuki. With two swords, the flowing movements of the slash became fiercer. Added with the strength of a Campione and divine power covered Katana, it was fatal.

*Clang* *Boom* *Clang* *Boom*

The sounds of metal clashing and explosions repeatedly resounding in the forest. Explosions after explosions caused the earth to tremble and likely affected the whole Monte Sano Mountain.

"Guh!" Lugh desperately parried my Katana with a raged expression on his face. Cut after a cut can be seen in his body causing him to bleed for a bit before the wounds gradually closed by itself.

I slashed my two Katana from above his head with more power at the same time for the finisher of the technique. Lugh placed his spear above his head to defend from the attack.

*Clang* *Swoosh* *Boooom*

A mighty explosion occurred when my Katanas clashed with his spear. The explosion caused an earthquake and makes a fifteen-meters hole on the land around us. As we fall on the hole, I covered my legs with divine power and kicked Lugh.

Unprepared Lugh who just defended my slash wasn't able to defend and the kick directly sends him 20 meters away.

"Argh!"

With many visible bruises and cuts that haven't closed, Lugh stands up and angrily looking at me.

"You! Very well, I will show you the power of the savior!" Lugh shoutingly said. Then, Lugh lifted his hand to the sky and grasped the air as if activating something. Suddenly the bright summer sky became dark and cloudy.

Without any sign, a raging thunderstorm appeared from the sky. Everything in the forest started to cut into pieces and exploded when the Thunderstorm grazing it. Fortunately, this place was quite far from where most people are, and Musashi and the gang already protected with a barrier.

"Die, usurper!" Lugh fiercely shouted as the thunderstorm making its way towards me.

Looking at that, I calmly take the stance for the eleventh technique of Niten Ichi-Ryu: Seijaku. It was the ultimate pinnacle of Niten Ichi-Ryu beside the last technique. It wasn't as showy as other techniques, but it's more deadly than the rest.

This technique has the concept of Niten Ichi-Ryu or two swords as one within it. I gently closed my eyes and assumed Iai stance with two swords and infused more divine power to my Katanas causing the Katanas to become longer and bigger covered with divine power.

As I feel the Thunderstorm right in front of my eyes, I unclosed my eyes, and serenely said, "Seijaku."

I unsheathed the two Katanas on my waist and slashed the thunderstorm and placed the Katana back to the sheath in the speed of light. Suddenly, the raging Thunderstorm was gone like it never happened and leaving the dark and clouded sky.

"What?!" Lugh shouted with a stunned expression.

"Hee... Not bad I guess." I smirked and said to taunt him.

"Y-YOUUU!!!!" Lugh, who can't stand looking at my mocking smirk suddenly fly to the sky.

"Be honored, usurper! This is the ultimate technique of mine!" Lugh shoutingly said.

Once again raging thunderstorm started to appear in the sky, but this time it appeared directly above Lugh. The raging thunderstorm suddenly became smaller but with more divine power inside it and form into a ball that fits in his hand.

Lugh lifted his hand to the sky and a new sun suddenly appeared beside the thunderstorm ball. The dazzling sun gradually became smaller until it was the same size as the thunderstorm ball.

The sun and thunderstorm ball that contains massive divine power inside fused with each other. Turbulent winds instantly occurred as the effect of the fusion. The result of the fusion was a small sun with blue and purple auras surrounding it.

Then, a weapon materialized on his right hand as he holds the spear on his left hand. It was one of the magical possessions Lugh has, a .....
