Into The Multiverse

Chapter 27 - Queue the Theme Song

(Previously...)

Ares: WHO ARE YOU?!

???: Just a passing-through Hero of Justice. Remember it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I finally said the line. I've been waiting to use this line since forever!

I point my katana at the War God.

Damien: I'll give you two choices, either flee and go back to Olympus, or be injured and embarrassed more than you already should.

Ares: WHY YOU!

Ares swings his sword. It was fast, faster than a Level 50 Vergil, but slower than a Level 100 Artoria. I parried his strike with ease, which caused him to leave his guard open. I reversed gripped 'Yamato' and slashed his stomach, which causes the War God to gasp in pain. He clutched his wound as he glared at me. I swung 'Yamato' to the side to get rid of his ichor before sheathing the blade.

Damien: Do you yield?

Ares: Never! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

He rushes at me and attacks him with barrages of strikes. Thrust, slash, slash, feint, slash, thrust, kick, slash, slash. The angles of the strikes are just inhuman, but I dodged them all before distanced myself. I got into a quickdraw stance as I concentrated Prana into the blade. It hums, indicating that it's ready as I drew the katana. A sphere of cuts contacted the god and in less than a second, thousands of slashes got craved into the God's body.

Ares roars in pain as he drops one knee to the floor. I sheathed 'Yamato' as I got closer to the incapacitated God.

Damien: Sigh... I thought I was finally going to have some fun, but man, you are boring to fight against. Besides, I have accomplished my goal. Leave, and get punished by Zeus, or do you want to die from my hands?

Ares glared, trying to curse me like what he did to Percy, but it wouldn't work. [Longetivity] saves me again. I grinned at his attempt as Ares, now giving up, gets up, panting.

Ares: Curse you... If I ever see you again face-to-face, I will pummel you out of existence!

Damien: You can try, War God. You can try...

He starts to glow brightly, but I do not waver. He shines and disappears out of the battlefield.

Sighing, I looked around the now-destroyed beach. I spot the trio and [traced] the 'Hades' Hat of Invisibility' before following them.

Percy: We have to get back to New York. By tonight.

Annabeth: That's impossible unless we-

Percy: Fly.

Annabeth: Fly, like, in an airplane, which you were warned never to do lest Zeus strikes you out of the sky, and carrying a weapon that has more destructive power than a nuclear bomb?

Percy: Yeah. Pretty much exactly like that. Come on.

She stared at the boy in disbelief as I chuckled and [detrace] the hat. The trio saw me and raised their guard. Percy uncapped 'Riptide' and got into a stance.

Damien: Relax. I just want my sheath back.

I said, pointing at 'Avalon' in Percy's bag. Percy opens his bag and gives me the Sheath of Everdistant Utopia back. I took it and put it inside my bag.

Damien: Now, introductions. Name's Archer. Nice to meet you three.

Annabeth: Archer? But you just used a sword.
