Chapter 311 - Kretos And The Hero Sora
\'Yes no matter how strong, surely this demon lord can\'t be stronger than the summoned hero.\' Jeter was finally able to calm down as he gathered enough strength to respond to Kretos.
"Demon Lord Kretos! You shall die here today!" Jeter activated the control spell on Sora. Unlike the other three when Jeter used the control spell on the hero, Sora\'s consciousness didn\'t fade, he was still conscious thanks to his skills against mental attacks. Yet despite all those skills he was still unable to resist the control spell as it took control over his body.
\'What the f*ck is this spell?! When was it used on me and how come I\'m affected?\' Sora couldn\'t do anything but complain in his mind. His body, on the other hand, summoned his beloved sword Masamune from his inventory.
Sora then used a sword technique which he named [sword wave]. It was a technique were a literal wave of energy came bursting out of his sword. Kretos was able to easily evade the strike, but that gave Sora enough time for him to get close enough to initiate another attack.
When he got close enough Sora unleashed a powerful explosion spell. Kretos\'s mana barrier was able to block the explosion, without missing a beat Sora pierced through Kretos\'s mana barrier with Masamune. Kretos evaded the strike and countered with a kick. Sora blocked the incoming kick with his sword but he was still blown a few feet away.
\'Damn it?! I know I\'m not in control but what\'s with this difference in strength!\' After that brief exchange and remembering Kretos\'s stats, Sora knew that this kind of assault won\'t work on someone like Kretos.
Jeter looked in horror as Kretos was able to deal with the hero Sora unarmed. This was the hero who had killed even the strongest of monsters like it was nothing. Sora could even decimate the entire Sliral Kingdom with ease. Yet Kretos was dealing with that Sora as if he was a child. Doesn\'t this mean Kretos was stronger than what they all initially thought?
When Jeter thought of that he was terror-stricken. They had grossly underestimated Kretos, does that mean that the other demons were stronger than they anticipated? What was happening to the army at Canyon?
While Jeter was ill at ease, Kretos on the other hand, was rather surprised. This was his first encounter with humans. All he knew about them was from what he had read in books and reports. Humans were a race that were supposedly far weaker than demons, this was proven today by the three he had defeated easily. Even if they were not in control of their bodies and their skill might have diminished a bit because of that, still, they were far too weak.
The only advantage humans had over demons was their ability to reproduce en masse. Aside from that, there were also the heroes and the so called healers. Demons had no use for healers as their natural regenerative abilities were enough, as for heroes they were supposedly equivalent in power to a demon lord or supposedly have greater power than demon lords.
Yet the hero Kretos was fighting wasn\'t all that strong… Well, he was indeed strong but not as strong as Kretos expected. After reading countless tales of ancient human heroes Kretos was expecting someone that could destroy mountains with a single sword swing.
…
"Hero Sora what are you doing, it\'s time to go all out!" Jeter who was getting anxious for every second the fight went on, gave a new order. The control spell once again activated forcing Sora\'s body to its very limits. Sora summoned Scarlet Rage and was now dual-wielding.
He charged at Kretos with an increase in his speed. Sora had finally used all of his buff skills and enhancement spells. Sora\'s body started emitting an overpowering red aura. This was what Sora called his ultimate form, in this state Sora was four times more powerful than his base form.
Kretos was shocked by the change and finally summoned his sword. He blocked Sora\'s incoming attack and was actually pushed back a few steps. Kretos didn\'t expect that not only did Sora\'s speed increase so much, but even his strength was beyond what it was before.
Seeing Kretos was being pushed back Jeter was finally feeling relieved. On the other hand, Kretos finally showed the vicious smile he shows when he gets truly excited.
"HAHAHA! THIS IS WAS WHAT I EXPECTED FROM A HERO! Come on then Hero, even if you\'re being controlled, show me the very limits of your power!"
Kretos and Sora exchanged blows at such a fast pace that the only thing Jeter could see was the glimmer of the blades. As Sora was attacking using his two swords, he activated the skill [Multiple Processing]. With this skill even as he was attacking while using both hands and focusing on that, random low-tier to mid-tier spells would activate and attack the enemy in front of him.
Kretos was surprised that Sora was able to use a [fire ball] spell and a [wind pierce] spell while fighting him with his swords. The spells were unable to penetrate Kretos\'s mana barrier but the skill Sora used excited Kretos. What else can this hero do?
As Kretos was getting even more excited, Sora who was unable to control his body was screaming in his mind.
\'What the f*ck are you doing?! I\'m finally fighting the demon lord but this is all wrong. I should be shouting the name of my techniques and be like, this is just one of my thousand techniques.\'
As Sora was feeling conflicted in his mind, his body started to use another technique. A huge black space appeared above Sora\'s head. This was Sora\'s inventory space were he stored his weapons, armor, and items. From within the inventory space, numerous weapons came flying out and were aimed at Kretos.
Seeing the numerous incoming weapons Kretos backed away and blocked all of them. As he was defending against the nearly endless torrent of weapons he felt his sword was breaking and saw that Sora was also about ready to bombard him with spells. Seeing this scene made Kretos laugh heartily.
"Hahaha, this is awesome! Allow me to show you that it\'s not only you who has an armory hidden." Kretos summoned most of the weapons from his shadow, filling the mountain with numerous weapons. When Sora saw what was happening he started screaming again in his mind.
\'What the f*ck is this, isn\'t this that skill of that heroic spirit from that visual novel uses?! Now my body is using the same skill as the arrogant king of heroes. Doesn\'t this look like I\'m the final boss, and Kretos is the protagonist?!\'
While Sora was doing his commentary in his mind, Kretos used his mana to control the weapons on the ground. This was a new skill he learned as he fought the different demon tribes. He could control all the weapons using his mana and move them like there were multiple Kretos\'s wielding them.
The floating weapons block the onslaught of weapons being released from Sora\'s inventory space. While that was happening, the spells Sora was unleashing couldn\'t penetrate through Kretos\'s mana barrier. The only spells that could do that were high-tier spells. Sora knew a lot of hight-tier spells but those required him to chant a spell for a few minutes, and as he wasn\'t in control of his body, he wasn\'t able to do that or anything anyway. As of now, Sora\'s controlled body was moving in a way that the spell deemed to be the most efficient.
Now that the long-range attacks were dealt with Kretos could once again concentrate on attacking Sora from close range.
After a few more exchanges Kretos was finally able to damage Sora, but to his surprise, there was no wound. Kretos felt his sword go through Sora\'s flesh, Sora\'s left hand should\'ve been lopped clean off, yet it remained unscathed. In the inside of Sora\'s mind, he too was rather surprised.
\'It has been a long time since I got damaged, I wonder, how much HP I lost from that attack.\' Sora looked at his HP and was once again surprised.
HP: 57,000/82,000
\'I wasn\'t even hit in my vitals and I lost twenty-five thousand HP!\'
As Sora was panicking in his mind, so was Jeter who was controlling Sora… Jeter was nearing his limit in using the control spell, but not only was Kretos still standing he was actually at an advantage.
