Chapter 7 - The god with a human heart (2)

Heewon brings out smoke bombs and looks at me with a nod she throw them all scattering it around and blocking the view.

As i navigate through the smoke i can hear Heewos footsteps along with the sizzling of the smoke coming out.

Assuming where Hercule is i throw my sword aiming at the open door of the Warehouse but to my surprise he's still standing there.

He effortlessly sidesteps the incoming sword then rushes at me raising his wooden club. One of the Stellarforge rumored to have been made by material only found in heaven.

I pull my sword back as i lean back feeling the air pressure from the swing. Its so heavy it takes my breath away. The incoming strike of Eryndralis threatens to burn and slive Hercules neck off making him jump into the air.

I can't help but let out a laugh full of joy and hate as He leaps into the air with a confused expression Hercule looks at me then realizes.

"WAIT-"

Too late to react he is hit by the red giant hand of Heewon rendring his inhumane abilities useless making him mortal as you and i are. Suddenly unable to hold the weight of his Stellarforge.

He crashes down onto the ground crushing his nose in the process. Looking at his bloodied face i allowed myself to put on a smile as i slowly approached him.

"Hercule. The demi god who completed 12 labors."

Each step seems to make my heart beat faster at the thought of killing a god.

" The betrayer of man -kind the one who joined sides with those wretched fucking gods."

I look at his face looking for fear or anxiety or anything. But all i see is pure determination,pride, hate.

My eyes slowly widen as i open my mouth.

"…you're a mortal now do you understand that? You're just as mortal as i am" *i raise my sword the fire seems to burn brighter as i do each meter taken seems to make it burn even hotter.

Hercule gets up raising his fist into a high guard as he stands his ground not giving me an inch.

"So what if i lost my powers? I am Hercule i dont need that i am a hero!" He charges at me with his head and fists up held high

His words seem to only piss me off me more.

I duck his first punch a right cross. So predictable as i duck it he throws a knee i lean back to avoid it in turn he goes in for a tackle taking me down to the ground.

Heewon stands there unamused as Her ule tries to punch me.

Blocking it with my Eryndralis.

Hercule gets off of me sweating purposely bur he refuses to scream or even flinch as his hand burns the flesh already burned all thw way his bones exposed as he bleeds at an alarming rate.

Hercule stares at me dead in the eyes even as he knows he's about to die wether from the strike of Eryndralis or the burn of it.

Heewon says from the side

"Finish it fast he will only lose his abilities for 5 minutes you know?

"Ya ya i got it" i say as i raise my sword up lazely sending a strike at Hercule. Surprisingly enough he doesn't try to evade it nor does he go in for a counter. I expect him to atleast try to duck it but no.

The sky roars with thunder, the last thing i see is a lightning bolt faster than anythng i have ever seen faster than what i could comprehend is sent towards me connecting with the sword.

"AGH- AGAGHHHHHH!!" I scream out as i feel my flesh burning.

"SHIT IT MUST BE ZUES WHEN DID HE EVER GIVE A FUCK ABOUT OTHER GODS?!" Heewon exclaims as she comes rushing to my side i feel my consciousness slipping like a sand through my finger tips slowly but surely i feel the world around me drown. Heewons voice is getting harder to comprehend. What is she saying? I close my eyes as i drift off to sleep.

*

"SHIT KAELEN STAY WITH ME! DONT CLOSE YOUR EYES" Heewon screams but its no use Kaelens eyes are aready closed.

The sky roars once more a warning of a thunderous rage once again.

"Fuck… FUCK!" Heewon screams as she runs to the warehouse with Kaelen on her back.

She can also see a smoke coming out of Hercules hand. He's gotten his abilities back.

Just 3 steps away from the warehouse her hair stands up as the sky roars with blue. Another thunderbolt is about to be shot.

Just as it shots down Hercule raises his Wooden club up behind Heewon taking the thunderbolt he sinks to his knees coughing up blood.

Heewon thinks to herself.

"Is it luck?! Do we have the devils luck now?! Or did he do that on purpose? No way. A disgusting god protecting humans is impossible. im sure he was just trying to smash us with that club but didn't realize zues was sending a thunderbolt"

She rushes into the Warehouse tapping a couple buttons then tossing me onto the metal frame of the teleportation machine.

She shouts into a microphone.

"EMERGENCY! REQUESTING IMMEDIATE TELEPORTATION TO ARCELOUS HEADQUARTERS FOR 2"

Not even a second later she hears a perosn speak on the other line. "Understood teleportation's under activation please stand in the circle."

I get in the circle with Kaelen thr Cyan circling us around as the light blue aura shoots up inti the skies.

"5..4-" Heewon counts before she can continue she hears the skies cry out with Blue tremor again the largest lighting she has seen start to formulate in the sky.

"Shit that geezer zues is gonna destroy the whole area!"

"2…"

The lightning shoots up at them with tremendous speed

".ONE"

Just before the lighting can strike them Kaelen and Heewon is teleported away.
