Chereads / Divine Rivalry: Sons Of Ascendance / Chapter 53 - One more comrade.

Chapter 53 - One more comrade.

"Now, Tell me Hercules, why do you think I'm the wielder of Kuroka and Excalibur and the Ghoul Eyes?" I asked Hercules; "You stole them!" He said revoltingly.

"Disobedience annoys me." I kick his stomach with my left leg.

"You should know who's in charge of the situation." Said I, as the man was swallowed up by anger but couldn't do anything.

With his hot headed mindset, Veins started popping up on his face.

"You're not going to shit yourself, Are you, Sir Hercules?"

"You're going to pay for it!" Roared Hercules as the air pressure launched me high up in the air.

"Why you fuckin-" was a thought that popped into my mind, But it wasn't enough to make that man suffer.

"If only I could surpass my limits." I said to myself in complete disgust.

That is when a voice in my head spoke up..

"You're not weak, You're just too soft and kind to your enemies."

It was the alter ego I sealed deep inside me, ever since the King of the Ghouls in incident...

"You're already free from the 50 soul binding shackles?" I asked to my alter ego.

"Yeah. They were too weak to keep me trapped, anyways, I want you to get stronger."

"It's not as easy as you make it seem, Alter Ego."

"Kill Higashi Katsuo now. This will help you regain your former glory and strength, and my name isn't Alter Ego, You can call me Lupin."

"Kill him? Weren't we supposed to kill him when the Rite of ascension is commenced?"

"Do not allow him to get stronger, the lesser the enemies, the higher your chances of winning."

"Who even cares about being the strongest God. I'm not a god anymore."

"Be the God Slayer, Be the devil that even Satan himself is afraid of you."

"God Slayer? The Fallen God? That sounds great to me."

"SYSTEM:

GOD SLAYER CANDIDATE:KILL ??? TO BECOME THE GOD SLAYER."

"So the system is listening to us at all times?"

"Something like that, Anyhow I think I know who to kill."

"Yeah, If you need any help, I will let you borrow me for sometime."

"That would be great Lupin."

Lupin disconnects from the conversation as I step back into reality with Hercules looking at me with a strange reaction.... Or it's rather Fear.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just sensed the previous Slayer's Aura coming from you?"

When his sentence finished, My mind went blank, it was a restriction set by the Creators that there's only Limited amount of knowledge I can acquire below floor 50.

"What'd you say?"

"I said, I sensed the absolute bloodlust of the former Slayer from you."

My mind glitched once again, with unbearable pain, I asked Hercules to stop, but that bastard enjoyed the view of his opponent in pain.

"You fucking bastard! Kuroka, Use sword Qi and beat him to a point he's just barely alive with 1 HP."

Whatever happened after that, was unknown to me, as I had fainted on the ground.

When I woke up, Hercules was infront of me, With Full health due to his fast recovery.

"Wha... What happened to me?"

"You up kid?" Said Hercules as I nodded in agreement.

"Pass the 50th floor first, I will tell you everything about it later." He added.

"Fuck, It's just the 39th floor, one more floor to co-operate with, after that it's just solo leveling." I slammed the ground, dust was scattered everywhere.

"I will help you, Kuramoto." Said Hercules as I looked at him with a disgusted look as the Hercules I used to know, was very rude and bitchy.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, I just wanted to help!" He added.

I saw something glowing brightly in my pocket, it was purple in color, It was a mind controlling Relic I got as a special item from Arvendall.

The relic had auto activated itself and attached itself to Hercules, it erased all memories except important memories and rewrote that I was the one he is supposed to serve.

"So that's how it works!" Said I, figuring out the use of the glowing stone I picked up from the ruins after killing the red dragon ancestor of Arvendall's bounty hunting orders.

"Master, do you have any orders for me?"

"Run around me 5 times and bark like a dog."

Hercules soon ran around me in a speed that even his afterimage can't catch up with, with a roar as strong as my Red Aura.

"Now, Your name is Takezo, starting now."

"Master has bestowed me a name upon me, I will fight alongside you starting now."

"Let's take you to introduce you to other team members now Takezo."

After a while, they reach the Inn they're staying at.

"Kuramoto, It took you some time to clear an easy Dungeon like that." Said Veronica as she greeted me as soon as I came back.

The others soon showed up as well, "She has been waiting for Sir Kuramoto since the moment you went out." Spoke Yin slowly looking at Veronica.

With a small laugh, Veronica walked up to Yin and asked him to come with him for a minute.

"Yin, Go with her, I'm sure it's not anything of that sort." Teased Usagi and Yuna.

Even if they went away for a while, we could still hear the sounds of loud hitting and cries of Yin.

"Everyone, this is Takezo, He will be fighting alongside us."

"Wait, I think I saw him in my history textbook back in Korea!" Said Yuna as she pointed at Takezo.

"He looks just like Hercules, from the Greek Empire!"

"He looks like him, but it's not him! What would a bigshot do? Come to our small inn?" Replied Usagi.

With sweat rolling down my face, in Takezo's stead that he wasn't Hercules.

"Wait, You aren't from earth, How do you know about Hercules!?"

"I was a god too, you know? The son of the strongest god Zioles.."
