(Merry Christmas, I will write an extra 2,000 words today. I will not post the 8,000 words in three chapters)
Scorching flames burst out from all sides of the earth, shooting straight into the sky, turning into chaotic souls spinning chaotically high in the sky.
The earth cracked, and scorching storms roared out from all directions like painful wails.
Carrying flames and lava, it penetrated the entire space.
The violent environment in front of us was all caused by the outpouring of anger from Pluto.
Raging flames circulated in the air in confusion, and Erica was wrapped in this chaos.
She stretched out her hand, trying to shield the flames in front of her.
But the high temperature that came from everywhere still made her almost unable to open her eyes.
In this flame storm, Erica was like a fragile and tiny floating leaf, struggling to stabilize her body on the ground.
The flames gradually engulfed the world in front of him, and the blazing light shrouded the surroundings.
The strong light obscured Erica's sight, causing her to fall into a trance-like red world.
When the light in front of her eyes gradually faded, Erica felt that the burning flames that hit her face finally stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence.
Feeling the strong wind gradually dissipating, Erica dared to slowly open her eyes.
But the sight that greeted her eyes stunned her.
Shock and madness almost filled her eyes.
The surroundings were indeed silent, but the surroundings turned into an extremely huge steel arena.
At this moment, Erica was in the center of the arena.
Heavy and terrifying steel structures were spread all around, building circles of dark platforms.
The further you go to the outer edge, the taller it becomes.
As the light gradually dissipated, the scene reflected in Erica's eyes became clearer.
Dense cyan souls stood on the surrounding high platforms, and thousands of pairs of silent eyes focused on her.
The next second, majestic celebratory flames rushed out from the bottom of the high platform and spread throughout the entire arena like waves. What followed was the carnival howling of countless souls, and the chaotic and exciting shouts resounded throughout the land.
Erica looked at the crazy scenes around her and felt in a trance.
She slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky of this crazy land.
Above the head is still a dense starry sky composed of red stars.
And this shows that she has not left the place just now.
It's just that the cyan giant just changed the world around him.
Now, Erica also realizes the identity of the other party.
She raised her head and looked at the giant whose huge head emerged from the flames.
He seemed to have walked out of the distant flaming sky and stood heavily in front of Erica.
The master of the underworld - Hades.
The terrifying power he displayed perfectly matched the description in the legend.
At the same time, Hades, who was surrounded by endless hellfire, raised his spear high and lowered the tip of the spear slightly, pointing directly at Erica.
"Ignorant humans."
He racked his brains and couldn't think of it.
The seemingly weak human girl in front of him was actually a brave man who took the initiative to enter hell and came to challenge him.
How funny.
Could it be that the gods have been away for too long, and even he, the king of Hades, has been forgotten by people?
Such thoughts made Hades feel angry.
He was not sure whether his anger was because of being challenged by this seemingly fragile girl, or because in his heart, the world had forgotten him.
But now, facing the challenge of mankind, he had to accept it.
Because as a 'king', he must accept all challenges no matter who the target is.
【King's Battlefield】
This is one of the rules of this world.
Hades is not only the god of hell, he is also the king of the underworld.
He lowered his head, looked at the frail Erica in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is destined to be an extremely unfair challenge.
He even only needed to blow lightly, and a breath of flaming wind was enough to blow away this fragile human girl.
so,
Hades flicked the tip of his spear, and his deep and ferocious voice became extremely cold:
"You are not worthy enough to challenge me."
The next moment, thousands of dead souls seemed to emerge out of thin air, like a majestic blue ocean, slowly flowing in the air.
They are ferocious and crazy, and they are arrayed behind Hades' huge body.
"You can't even beat them."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless ghosts twisted their bodies and flew through the space, rushing towards Erica in front.
Hades watched the ghosts filling the entire space one after another, then shook his head slightly and turned around.
In his opinion, it wouldn't take long for these ghosts to tear the human girl apart in front of him.
Her body will remain in the underworld, and her soul will begin to wander aimlessly like these ghosts that emerge.
And at that time, Hades will judge her again.
Send her back to the human world and start her new reincarnation.
Although the appearance of this human being is just a small episode in hell, it is undoubtedly a rare pleasure in Hades' long years.
He will remember this human girl who was a little funny and a little brave.
Suddenly, from behind Hades, a blazing and frightening flame rose violently.
In the entire vast and enthusiastic arena, there was a heavy exclamation from the countless ghost spectators.
This shock quickly spread throughout the space, and even the flames on the ground seemed to be swaying crazily.
Hades clearly felt the strange aura coming from behind him.
He slowly raised his head, feeling the mighty elemental power coming from behind, and then slowly turned around.
At this time, Erica, who was not far away, was enveloped in hot and pure elemental power.
It seemed to be transformed into elemental fire, spreading crazily around.
Erica's eyes flashed with orange light, and the space around her began to distort slightly.
The scorching fire from hell collided with the flames on the surface of her body, erupting into staggered and terrifying waves of blazing air.
The green ghosts pouring out turned into moths flying into the flames the moment they approached Erica, and were wrapped in violent flames and dissipated.
After doing all this, Erica stood there quietly, her eyes firmly locked on the tall Hades in front of her.
"Please let me challenge you."
Hades took a deep breath, feeling the pure fire element in Erica's body.
"Interesting, I once met a human with similar powers to you."
"He made a huge impression on me."
When Erica heard this, her eyes widened, and a bright and surprised light flashed in her pupils.
Is it...professor?
Immediately afterwards, Hades seemed to have exploded, the hair all over his body seemed to be burning, and his whole body was extremely angry.
Even the already huge body became a bit bigger under the blessing of anger.
He gritted his teeth angrily and looked at Erica, endless anger pouring out of him:
"So I swore."
"If I meet him again, I will never let him go!"
This terrifying aura rushed straight into Erica's body.
This caused her elementalized body to tremble suddenly.
It was as if he was frightened.
What did the professor do to make the Hades in front of him so angry?
After Hades finished speaking angrily, he waved his hand and threw the windbreaker on his left hand heavily to the ground.
At this moment, Erica looked nervously at the darkness that appeared in Hades' hand.
When the familiar windbreaker fell to the ground, she was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
Gotta find a way to get that trench coat back!
But then, Erica felt as if she was locked by a strong and shocking sight, and her whole body became extremely stiff.
Even his breathing seemed to be stagnant in this oppressive feeling.
"I thought you were that human's daughter, but now it seems that you have golden hair, but that human doesn't."
As soon as she finished speaking, Erica felt light all over her body.
The majestic and heavy feeling of confinement before began to gradually dissipate, and her body gradually relaxed a little.
"Well, you've piqued my interest."
Hades looked at her and continued.
"If you can withstand three moves under my hand, I will let you leave here."
Before Erica could react, Hades had already stretched out a finger.
In the air, he made a "one" gesture.
"The first move."
Immediately, Hades waved the tip of his spear, and a terrifying slash containing the fire of hell came through the air and headed straight for Erica.
Erica opened her eyes wide and instinctively mobilized the power of nature.
A wall of scorching flames suddenly rose from the ground, trying to resist the fierce attack.
But the rotating wind tore apart the wall of fire almost instantly, and the powerful impact hit Erica directly.
boom!
There was a loud noise, the power of the explosion spread to all directions, and smoke and dust shot straight into the sky.
With this first move, Erica's elemental body began to flicker.
Her body was exposed, and her skin was covered with burn marks.
She forced herself to stand, one arm drooped, and she was panting heavily.
But her eyes were still full of determination.
Seeing how hard it was for Erica to withstand this blow, Hades couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
It seems that after this second move, there may be no follow-up.
But he didn't speak, he just stretched out his hand silently and made a "two" sign.
"The second move."
As his words fell, the spear spun wildly in his hand.
A violent flame hovered in the air, tightly wrapping Hades' body.
Boom!
The next moment, he thrust the spear in his hand into the ground.
Countless flame fragments rotated rapidly in the air, tearing apart the scorched air around them.
It triggered waves of sharp and violent air waves, forcing them towards Erica.
But while they were fighting fiercely, Hades didn't notice.
A dark crow has quietly flown to the place where he discarded the windbreaker, and quietly picked up the black windbreaker.
At the moment when the violent flames approached Erica, her weak body once again burst out with a majestic magic power.
The burning flames ignited again and turned into countless dancing fire flames.
When these broken fires were torn apart by the wind of hell, they all gathered in one place.
Finally, an earth-shaking explosion erupted in the center of the arena, covering the surrounding ground.
Erica, who was made up of countless flames, reappeared and flew back tens of meters, hitting heavily under the dark steel platform.
At this moment, the pure flames that originally enveloped her body had disappeared.
He had no strength left to even get up, and his whole body was covered in purple-green injuries.
The severe pain that penetrated into the bone marrow constantly invaded Erica's heart and tortured her body.
The picture before her eyes began to blur.
The crazy shouts from the audience were still beating on her eardrums, as if they were mocking her for not overestimating her abilities.
But she still held on, raised her head, and stared at the tall Hades in front of her with burning eyes.
Looking at Erica who was covered in bruises and almost fainting in front of him, Hades couldn't help but sigh.
He closed his eyes and raised his spear.
"Last resort."
The majestic green arm suddenly waved out, traveling through the space with a powerful force.
The hot wind tore through the surroundings and turned into a red meteor that passed through the entire arena and flew towards Erica.
But suddenly, a dark shadow slowly fell from the sky and covered Erica's body.
That's a windbreaker.
The next second, the moment the sharp stab was about to touch Erica, a strong flash of light burst out.
boom!
The violent sound waves that filled the entire world completely submerged the entire world, and the blazing light seemed to swallow everything.
Under the deep silence, the violent air waves mixed with light and sound gradually tore the entire space apart, releasing a terrifying pressure.
Seeing the explosion of flames blooming in front of him, Hades closed his eyes and shook his head, preparing to leave this lifeless land.
"it's over."
Next, should we hold a human funeral for this human girl?
Hmm...when did he start to be so sentimental?
But while he was meditating, a more majestic natural energy emerged from in front of him.
This extremely chaotic power was like a sea of scorching lava filling the entire starry sky.
No, no!
Hades suddenly raised his head and looked into the thick smoke and dust that was tens of meters high.
"What?"
As he marveled, his vision gradually blurred.
In front of him, 'Erica' put on the pitch-black windbreaker, swaying in the air with the hot air waves.
She had no expression on her face and naturally put her hands into the pockets of her windbreaker.
And on 'Erica''s shoulder, stood quietly a dark crow.
In front of them, a transparent earth barrier stood solemnly.
【Clear and thick soil】
The transparent earthen wall seemed to be solidified in the air. As the surrounding smoke and dust completely dissipated, the tall wall collapsed and disappeared.
At this time, 'Erica''s eyes were calmly locked on Hades.
Her voice then sounded faintly:
"Is it only to this extent?"
Hades looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned.
He widened his eyes slightly, feeling a sense of surprise in his heart, and stared at the blond girl in front of him.
Because he felt an unusual atmosphere.
It was obvious that the girl was still in front of her, but her temperament was completely different.
It's like the soul from beginning to end has been replaced by another person.
Now, 'Erica' lowered her head and seemed to be looking at her body.
She focused her eyes on her upper body, glancing at the slightly raised area.
A girl's body...
"It's really uncomfortable."
"All right."
The next second, a red flame jumped onto Erica's body like an energetic elf.
The flames quickly spread along the limbs of her body, wrapping her whole body tightly.
Pure and bright flames soared tens of meters high, heading straight towards the quiet and stable red stars.
boom!
The flames surrounding the body suddenly burst out, and the chaotic hot air waves almost completely obscured the entire space.
From the flames, a man in a trench coat stepped out.
The black windbreaker behind him was covered with red stripes.
And he himself showed an extremely confident posture, with his hands in his pockets, exuding an unquestionable aura.
"Merry Christmas, Hades."
After the words fell, Hades's eyes saw the man in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became bloodshot.
The bright blazing light flashed together with the flames ignited all over his body.
The crazy hell flames and elemental flames collided with each other, setting off a wave of extremely powerful air.
Looking at the furious Hades in front of him, Victor raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"besides……"
"Now, let's make substitutions."
