Chapter 100 - New Beginnings
"Activate ability: Fire Control"
Yuki used his ability to engulf his blade in his crimson flames. However, due to him being mentally unstable, the flames extended out of the blade upwards, as if creating a larger sword in combination with "Fallen angel of hell".
Yuki leaped off the ground to strike down Hades with his enormous flame sword. However, Hades wasn't going to back down without a fight.
"If I'm going to die, I'm taking you with me!" said Hades as he plunged his bident deep into the stage ground to the point where only 3 inches of the hilt were visible. Hades held the remaining part of the hilt with both his palms as he kneeled down to twist it as hard as possible. He looked be struggling as if he was opening a jar of tightly sealed pickles. However all of his struggles paid off as the stage ground cracked and split into many large sectors. It was almost guaranteed that Yuki would fall into them. To make the situation worse, there seemed to be no pit to land on as they were extremely deep.
Even with this, Yuki ignored what Hades had done and landed on top of Hades' shoulders with his fiery blade in hand. Without a moment of hesitation, Yuki cut Hades in half, starting from his head. As Hades began to fall to the ground due to his death, Yuki pushed his legs off Hades' shoulders and propelled himself to land on Hades' throne which was the only object which wasn't affected by the bident's power.
Yuki sat on the throne-blade in hand as his head tilted from exhaustion. The stage began to recover and reform itself now that it had recognized Hades to be dead. The ground began to stretch as it came back together and stitched itself. The red carpet began to regrow and sow itself together. Any of the other objects also did the same as they returned to their original state.
"We did it," said Yuki.
"I can't believe I did it, I really did it. I cleared the second dungeon!" said Yuki in pure joy as he raised his hands in the air. However as he was enjoying himself, a shockwave was sent to his brain. Yuki could now sense the presence of over 3000 people outside the dungeon. He instantly knew that they were after him. However, instead of being sad or scared, Yuki became more overjoyed.
"The fun never ends," said Yuki with a villanish grin.
Outside the dungeon, the king from the 8th stage of the first dungeon stood up from the ground-sensing that his king's arrival was approaching. Behind him, the king carried a large bag full of the items which Yuki had requested for him to bring.
"Where do you think you're going?!" one of the soldiers asked the king in an angry tone.
However instead of replying back in anger himself, Lydie summoned "Man's last hope: Ourbanos". This was more than enough to make the lower ranked soldiers tremble in fear. While many didn't know the full power of Ourbanos, it was clear that the figure which walked behind Lydie was out of their league. The only ones who could match his strength and even hope to win were the mercenaries from Scar's group or the mercenaries which were hired by the crime syndicate. Even though they had that power, it would drain them of nearly all their energy so it would be best if they avoided any fights, especially with opponents that strong.
Lydie walked past the army as they split to allow him to pass through in fear. After walking for so long Lydie sat back down at the log which he was at previously. Now he awaited his king as it wouldn't be much longer until Yuki would appear in front of these people and make them regret challenging him.
Back inside the dungeon, the throne began to disintegrate as it revealed the exit to the dungeon which would lead him outside from the same gate he used to enter. Yuki stood as he watched the throne disappear.
"This doesn't feel real at all. I mean beating up monsters for exp and items. This would be any teenager's dream. Well, unless they get into a bad situation and end up getting traumatized," said Yuki.
[+120000 exp]
[LEVEL UP]
[Player: Yuki Kaito]
[Level 12: 29000/400000]
Yuki felt the satisfying feeling which was automatically generated by the system when a player leveled up. It was pure bliss. It was the greatest joy anyone could ever attain which was why it was so hard to achieve.
Once Yuki began to calm down from his state of joy, he noticed an object fall from the stage ceiling towards his feet. It was the bident which Hades had been carrying during the fight. Yuki double tapped on the bident to look at its stats and description out of curiosity.
[Item drop: The underworld's holy weapon]
[Weapon type: bident]
[Name: The underworld's holy weapon]
[Rank: ???]
[Attack: ???]
[Description:???]
"So you finally did decide to give the blade which doesn't have full stats?" Yuki said as he began to smile.
"At least this confirms my theory that each stage will give me a weapon like 'Fallen angel of hell'," Yuki said to himself.
Just as he finished his sentence, another item dropped from the stage ceiling. It was the Cap of Invisibility which Hades had worn in the very beginning of their encounter. I wonder... Yuki said as he double tapped on the helmet.
[Item drop: Cap of Invisibility]
[Rank: A]
[Weapon type: Helmet]
[Attack: 0]
[Description: Power: Has the power to make the user of this item invisible for as long as they want. The Cap of Invisibility was forged for Hades by Elder Cyclopses after he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon freed them from Tartarus. Hades then used this helmet to great effect during the Titanomachy and was instrumental in routing the Titans. Hades only ruled over the underworld due to him drawing the shortest stick in a draw which was held to determine which domain each of the brothers ruled over. For someone who ruled over the underworld which was supposed to be evil and scary, Hades was a stern and just ruler.]
"Oh, so it's a better version of the coat from the first dungeon since it doesn't have any limitations," said Yuki as he finished reading the description of the helmet.
Lastly, the final item dropped from the ceiling was the silver which was awarded at the middle and end of a dungeon.
[Item drop: Pot of greed]
Yuki double tapped on the brown pouch to open its information chart.
[Rank: X]
[Attack: 0]
[Description: Contains 5 million silver]
[Open inventory]
Yuki placed all his items into his inventory and began to walk towards the exit of the dungeon.
