Chapter 204

Chapter 204 – War of the Gods (2)

The orcs and the expedition troops mixed together .  Among them was Anya, who was randomly wielding her axe and screaming, “Die! Die! Die!”

They were two small throwing axes . It was the best tool for slaughtering in her hands .  All the enemies around her were killed by the axes .  She noticed the faces of those in the distance .

“Don’t run away and come here! I will play with you!”

She licked the blood on her cheek and giggled .  Her shoulders trembled before she suddenly threw her axe . The backs of those running away were split .

“If you don’t come then I will kill you!”

She kept on throwing her axes . They accurately hit the heads of the expedition soldiers .  She laughed loudly, “Hahahahat!”

It was a frenzy suitable for the title of ‘Mad Slaughterer . ’ Her berserkers followed her .

“Come on!”

“If you don’t want to die then kill us!”

“Kakakakat!”

It didn’t matter about the power of the gods or their morale . The berserkers stabbed, cut and slashed . Blood sprang from the wounds and they died .  It was sufficient .

“Let’s go, Kids . Follow me!”

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

She took out a new axe from her waist .  She turned it round and round, wondering who to kill next .  At that moment, the ground shook .

“Oh my?”

It was coming from Kumarak’s direction . She looked around .  The earthquake wasn’t the work of Kumarak . It was caused by the dwarf paladin that he was going against .

“Hrm…”

Anya examined them . Kumarak was bloody and barely standing . On the other hand, the dwarf fighting him was unfamiliar .  He wielded the hammer towards Kumarak .

“What, that person is a god?”

The light around the dwarf was proof of a god’s power .

“I told you…”

She had never fought a god before . They were also hiding behind the temples, speaking a few condescending words and giving off a good impression .  Those beings were coming down directly to get rid of the orcs .

“How interesting . ”

The dwarf wielded the hammer . Kumarak blocked with Destroyer but was thrown back from the shock .  Anya felt somewhat uncomfortable as she looked at Kumarak on the ground .

“Stupid guy . ”

Kumarak was a powerful warrior .  However, that strength he was so proud of was losing . The dwarf kicked the fallen orc .  Anya spoke to her subordinates .

“You fight here . I will be going somewhere for a while . ”

“Yes!”

She jumped forward . She trampled and killed the soldiers in her way .  Her goal was Kumarak .

“Kumarak!”

However, her voice didn’t reach .  Kumarak ran towards the dwarf again . He looked terrible but he didn’t lose his fighting spirit . Rather, he wielded Destroyer with crazy eyes .  The hammer and axe collided . Kumarak and the dwarf glared at each other .

Kumarak suddenly swung his fist . It hit the dwarf’s face .  The dwarf’s face distorted and he swung his fist as well . Kumarak’s teeth were broken .

“Grrung!”

Kumarak swung his fists again .  Thus, they continued punching each other . It was a struggle against a god .  They dropped their weapons and tangled together . Kumarak’s fighting spirit was contagious as the god cried out in a loud voice .

“Kumarakkk! I will kill you!”

“Come on, Tartatod! God of the worms!”

Tartatod .

Anya understood the whole situation .  Kumarak had smashed a mountain and killed the great worm, gaining the title of ‘Mountain Smasher . ’ So this god must be Tartatod, the one who loved those who dug under the ground . He appeared in front of Kumarak to get revenge for Almutad .

“The gods are the same as us . ”

Anya’s mouth twitched .

She didn’t believe in those who called themselves gods . Look, they were no different from the creatures on the ground . How could she join her hands together and say a prayer when the god was shrieking and swinging his fists .

They were just beings with mighty powers .  Just that .

“Are you going there to intervene?” Someone asked her .

Anya recoiled .  A woman approached her . It was one of the rare elves who joined the expedition, wearing the clothing of a priest .

“You must face me first . ”

It was a woman she had never seen before .  Anya instantly knew who she was . She burst out laughing .

“Ahaha . You?”

“……”

“It is an honor for a celebrity to look for me . Do you know how to fight?”

The opponent smiled .  A god who always showed mercy .  The god everyone praise, who gave the powerful of healing and passed on teachings to help the poor .  The goddess of mercy .

“You are the most notable . ”

“It is an honor . ”

“There is the blood of many on your hands . ” The goddess of mercy said .  Mad Slaughterer Anya .  She was in direct opposition to the goddess of mercy .  “Now it is time to stop the tragedies you created . ”

“Stop the tragedies . ” Anya laughed .

She pointed to the battlefield .  Orcs and expedition members were killing each other and dying .  Both sides were engulfed in their own madness and didn’t hesitate to attack . They wielded their weapons until they stopped breathing .

It was pandemonium .

Anya continued, “You also created this battlefield so you are just a hypocrite . If you combine all the things I’ve done in my life, it will look like a comedy compared to the tragedy that you committed today .

“……”

The god’s face shook before calming .

Anya smiled .  “It can’t be helped . Let’s start quickly . ”

Kumarak’s roar was heard from behind her .

“God, is it up to hereeeeeeeeeee──────!”

Then something exploded .  It didn’t stop there . The earth broke and collapsed . She didn’t know where and how it happened, but there were screams from those caught up in the aftermath .  Anya laughed as she twirled the two small axes in both hands .

“Don’t you have to help your friend soon?”

***

Zankus limped .  The hunter, hidden somewhere on the battlefield, continued to fire .  Zankus also responded, but the opponent’s shooting was faster and more accurate .

It wasn’t a large difference .  However, it was the divide that separated life and death .  Zankus gritted his teeth and bandaged the wound on his thigh . Even now, the enemy was still aiming at him . Zankus could feel the killing intent .

Truly a god .  Zankus didn’t know what to do .

“Dammit . ”

Thus, he decided to borrow someone else’s opinion .  He closed his eyes .  In the middle of the battlefield, an invisible hunter was aiming for his life . He stared at the darkness behind his eyelids .  A man was standing there .

Shakan .  The best hunter he knew, Shakan .  In this moment of urgency, he only had the chance for one question .

Zankus threw a question towards the man, ‘How can I hunt this enemy?’

Shakan replied .

Zankus’ eyes opened .  A light was heading towards him .  It was quite close .  Just before it hit his head…

Zankus twisted as an arrow grazed his cheek .  Zankus muttered as he stared at where the light had come from, “I understand, Shakan . ”

Then he loaded an arrow . The iron was distorted .  In the gap between the expedition troops, there was a shadow standing alone between flapping flags .

That guy .

Zankus fired an arrow .  The shadow that fought with him disappeared, but the bodies of the expedition members nearby exploded .  Zankus wasn’t satisfied and quickly pursued the enemy with his next arrow .

The arrow’s tip aimed at the enemy’s figure .  He pulled back the bowstring as he recalled Shakan’s answer .

‘You can’t hunt him . ’

He borrowed the image of Shakan and asked for an answer .  Zankus couldn’t hunt down the enemy, as the other person was a better hunter than him .  So he decided to give up hunting .

“Today, I’m not a hunter…”

Zankus’ arrow went straight through some passing soldiers . The soldiers were killed . The knights who faced the orcs were caught in the aftermath . The knights were killed . The shield of a noble was pierced . The noble also died .

“Today… I must be a killer . ”

Soon after, his ‘death shot’ hit the enemy .  He avoided a fatal wound, but it was unavoidable to receive a shallow hit .  The enemy sat down and shook with hostility .  However, he didn’t die .

“You will die soon enough . ” Zankus laughed and aimed his arrow again .

His title was ‘Sun Killer . ’ It wasn’t about hunting . ‘Killer’ was another name for Zankus .  This wasn’t an ordinary arrow, but one that contained the archer’s will .  It was placed in the arrow .  How far was his limit? Zankus had endlessly practiced with the bow, to the point where he was able to place ‘death’ in the arrow .

“Die . ”

Now he was in the area of ‘killing’, rather than ‘hunting . ’ Zankus’s arrow aimed at the black shadow again .  Zankus was unable to move properly in the aftermath of ‘death . ’ Zankus was convinced that the enemy would die by this arrow .

But at that moment .

A brilliant light erased his arrow .

“……!”

Everyone on the battlefield looked up at the sky as they saw a flash of brilliant light .  It came from an old man with wings of light . The staff in his hand shook .  Then rays of light surrounded the expedition members . Light shone from their weapons and the wounds were restored again .  The heat from deep inside their body erased their fatigue .  

It wasn’t just the expedition members affected, but the other gods fighting the orcs .  The god of hunting, who had been on the verge of dying from Zankus’ arrow, ended up vanishing .  His body recovered and he avoided ‘Death . ’

Sasasasak!

Once again, the beam of light flew towards Zankus .  Zankus barely avoided it as he muttered .

“That is cheating . ”

He didn’t know the identity of the old man in the sky, but it was a different influence from the other gods .  The power of the old man dominated the battlefield . The light kept encouraging the expedition members, interrupting the orcs .

Zankus looked around . The situation was starting to tilt . The orcs were dying .  Kumarak, Anya, Wallachwi etc, were also pushed back . The gods gained strength from the light in the sky .  Defeat was obvious .  And defeat meant genocide .  Zankus’ face distorted for a moment .

Then someone spoke .

‘……’

Zankus was stunned .  The voice spoke again .

‘…!’

Zankus’ eyes widened .

“Kulkulkul…”

Zankus started laughing .  He lifted his bow and loaded an iron arrow on it . Then he pulled back the bowstring and aimed for the sky .  From far away, a beam of light aimed at Zankus’ neck .  It was a stronger power than before .

But Zankus didn’t care .

“I understand .

The light .  It disappeared before reaching Zankus .  The rays of light from the old man in the sky also flew towards Zankus . However, they disappeared in front of him, as if they had hit a wall .  Zankus didn’t care about all that .  He concentrated all the strength of his body to one point . It was the best ‘Death’ arrow he could do .

“Kuoooook…”

His muscles screamed . The overloaded muscle fibers started to break down one by one .

“Kuaaaaaaah…!” Zankus shouted .

He squeezed out all the power in his body . It didn’t matter if his muscles were breaking . His arms burned . His bowstring was pulled back to the maximum extent possible .  Just before Zankus and his bow broke…

Zankus had a feeling that it was time .

“Go . ”

When the string was released… It was like the dew rolling off the leaves .  Like feathers falling from wings or stamens dangling to the ground .  The death arrow was launched towards the sky .

“Goooooooooo───────!”

It flew upwards .  The old man tried to stop the arrow but it flew on, ignoring everything .  The arrow .  It passed by the old man .  It rose to the end of the sky .  The target at the end .  The sun that illuminated the world .

‘Sun Killer’ Zankus .  His arrow went beyond time and space to penetrate the sun and kill it .  A black stain appeared in the center of the sun . It spread gradually and the entire sun became black .  Darkness fell over the world .  A world where the sun disappeared .  It was complete darkness .

Even ‘Sun Killer’ Zankus couldn’t stop the sun forever . The world would only sink into darkness for a few minutes .  But that was enough .

In the darkness where no one could see, the flapping of wings was heard .  A man’s voice resonated on the battlefield, “I am the hawk of the north . ”

Zankus fell to the ground, no longer having the strength to even lift a finger .

“The blue guardian of the sunrise . The pale blue standard bearer who guides the shamans . ”

Now it was his turn .  The orc shaman mentor, the strongest shaman of this age .

“Tashaquil . ”

A bizarre whisper was heard from underneath the ground .  With the death of the sun, the hungry demons of hell were being summoned in the darkness .
