Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Chapter 207 - Cthulhu

Within the mist, a red pair of eyes glowed. The air turned cold, almost wet, and the temperature started freezing.

It had two huge horns and enormous wings.  It flapped its wings once, and the people around were thrown flying to the trees, walls, and mountains.

It had dozens of tentacles on its face, making a shape like a beard.

Its size was colossal even though half of its body was under the water— and it could submerge the entire island with one hit.

"It's a fucking Cthulhu," Nero asserted.

"Um… what is Cthulhu?" Emilia asked with a confused and curious look on her face.

"Cthulhu are considered as celestial beings, and they are rarely seen," Sophia answered. "They reside deep within the water, secluded from the world."

"So why is it… here?" Asteria muttered.

"They are strong beings, almost undefeatable," Sophia added.

Nero watched the mist and uttered, "I have only seen Cthulhu once in my life, and when I saw it, I genuinely thought; Let's hope I never have to fight it."

Asteria hugged Nero from behind and asked in a low voice: "Is it stronger than you?"

"Well… it is a celestial being, and celestials are super strong," Nero answered. "They won't die even if you kill them, and they regenerate in seconds. I was once scared of it."

"Besides, if you anger a celestial being, it can destroy realms in a matter of seconds," Nero added nonchalantly.

"Doesn't it look angry right now?" Emilia remarked.

"Nay. I think it's just passing by," Nero chuckled.

"Zeus," Sophia uttered Nero's name.

Nero gazed at Sophia and shrugged his shoulders: "What?"

Sophia frowned her face and didn't say anything.

SIGH!

Nero let out a deep sigh and groaned, "Fine~"

He stepped on the window and looked back at Sophia: "Get ready for the punishment, by the way."

Nero jumped out of the window and landed on the mountain near the house.

"Now then…" Nero furrowed his brows and wondered, "Why did the great Cthulhu awaken from his slumber?"

He pondered for a while and muttered, "Because of me?"

'But the attacks were happening from prior to that, so I am not the reason it is awakened.'

Suddenly, with a sharp gust of wind, a claw appeared from the mist and crushed Nero; or so it looked like, but Nero had jumped into the air the moment he saw the claw.

The claw crushed the mountain like powder and buried it to the ground.

Then, the claw moved up and to the house on the hill where Emilia and the rest of the girls were.

"No, you won't!"

Nero rushed and stopped the claw from hitting the house— with his finger.

Nero glared through the mist and uttered, "Stay back, you mongrel!"

He crushed the claw with his hand and tore it down into pieces. However, it regenerated in seconds.

"How dare you!" He growled.

Cthulhu couldn't see anything through the mist, and it was randomly attacking. However, Nero had a unique physique, so it tried to attack Nero. And it tried to attack the house because it sensed strong beings there.

Sophia and Emilia were an angel, and Asteria was currently filled with Nero's elixir which increased her mana level above the limit for the time being.

  Nero spread his hand in the air and clapped; however, his palm didn't touch each other.

All the mist disappeared, and it revealed the true form of the Cthulhu.

It stood straight with lifeless glare in its eyes, and its wings pulled back as though it was preparing to flap them again.

Nero and Cthulhu glared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Then, the Cthulhu howled loudly that echoed and reverberated around the sea.

The howl ripped the ears of the normal humans, but those who managed to cover their ears were safe.

Sophia had no need to cover her ears, so she covered Asteria's ears to keep her safe. But, Emilia couldn't.

Emilia closed her eyes and grunted in pain.

Sophia placed her hand on Emilia's shoulder and asked with a concerned look on her face, "Are you okay?"

Emilia nodded and replied, "My ears feel a little numb, but I can hear everything just fine."

Nero summoned a lightning whirlwind in the sky and launched it on Cthulhu.

The whirlwind pulverized half of Cthulhu's body, but it soon regenerated as though nothing had ever happened.

"This is going to be a pain in the ass," Nero muttered.

Nero wanted to spend the night peacefully by having fun with the girls, but an uninvited guest interrupted his fun.

[Why do you stop me, O higher one?] Cthulhu spoke to Nero using telepathy.

"You dared to harm my girls, and then you ask why did I stop you, huh?"

[I didn't know they were with you. My apologies for that.]

"..." Nero stared at Cthulhu with a confused look on his face. 

'That's it? The fight ended?' Nero thought. 'And heck yeah! He is calling me with respect.'

After a brief moment, the Cthulhu spoke, [Are those tiny humans hiding on this island with you too?]

"Not really," Nero answered.

[Then I shall kill them.]

"Why do you want to kill them? And why are you attacking the ships passing at night?" Nero asked curiously.

[I am here for revenge.]

"Revenge?"

[I have sworn an oath to avenge my daughter's death.]

Nero raised his brows and pondered for a while.

'I have no reason to stop Cthulhu if he is simply taking revenge. As long as it doesn't harm my girls, I don't care.'

[Now, if you will excuse me.]

Nero shrugged his shoulders and turned around to go back to the house.

However, Nero sensed something in the sky and activated his god's eyes to scan the area.

A winged man appeared in the sky in front of Cthulhu and said, "Can I have a little chat with you?"
