Kimiko glared at Jace angrily.
Jace on the other hand, seemed confident in front of her angry expression.
He was obviously looking down on her.
“Kimiko, it seems that you haven't realized that we're a bad match up.”
He began to talk with an arrogant tone.
“Oh? Please enlighten me why that is so.”
“Isn't it obvious? I'm the personification of the sun. In this world, what is there that can compete with the thing that all life depends on?”
“So you're saying that your omnipotent?”
“That's right.”
Jace answered with a matter of fact tone.
The anger on Kimiko's face disappeared when she heard that.
What replace it was pity.
“I heard that you were extremely arrogant, but I didn't you expect you to be arrogant to the point of stupidity.”
“What?!”
It was Jace’s turn to be angry.
“I advise you to watch what you say, Kimiko. If I want I can destroy your clan after I finish you off here.”
“Hahahaha!”
Kimiko started laughing at Jace's threat.
“What's so funny?!”
Jace felt insulted by Kimiko's laugh, and became even angrier.
“You're really an idiot, you know that?”
Kimiko directed a mocking smile at him.
“There's no way you can kill me. You're not on my level, little boy.”
“?!”
Jace became so angry that the temperature rapidly increased and his body lit up.
“You old hag!”
He turned into a giant beam of light and shot towards her.
Kimiko smiled.
*Bam!*
“Guh?!”
To Jace surprise, she didn't dodge or hide herself. She punched him away.
*BOOM!*
He crashed into the ground a created a crater.
“Cough! Cough!”
Jace coughed up the blood that was gathering in his throat.
“Why do you people always make the same mistake?"
He looked up and saw Kimiko staring down on him.
“Just because I'm an assassin, that doesn't mean I'm weak in hand to hand combat.”
She smiled provocatively.
“In fact that's what I truly specialize in.
She then vanished.
*BOOM!*
“Ugh?!”
Jace’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, when Kimiko stomp him further into the ground.
She jumped back and dozens of black roses started blooming around her.
It was at this moment, that Jace sprung to his feet.
“[Black Rose Waltz]”
The petals of the rose detached themselves and quickly surrounded Jace.
Jace immediately got a dangerous feeling from the Rose petals. So he turned into a beam of light and shot up into the sky.
“Huh?!”
But to his surprise he was still surrounded by the petals. He turned into a beam of light again and tried to out run the petals.
However, he didn't realize that there were a few petals attached to the beam off light.
“Bloom.”
*BOOOM!*
The beam of light exploded and Jace was forced to return to his true form.
Before he was able to react he was trapped in a net of rose petals.
Kimiko snapped her fingers.
“Dance.”
At her command the petals rush towards Jace.
His blood started spew as they came in contact with his skin. He quickly found out that every single petal was extremely sharp.
The petals started dancing around him while slicing him up.
Jace gritted his teeth and his eyes glowed even brighter.
“[Sun Chariot]”
*BOOM!*
A overwhelming wave of flames spread through the sky and caused the petals to be reduced to ashes in seconds.
A blinding light swept the land and illuminate the world.
Kimiko used a Qi technique to make her eyes instantly adjust to the light and looked up in the sky.
What she saw was an enormous golden chariot being drawn by four burning horses.
A giant Jace stood inside the chariot with a burn ball of fire behind him.
Lets talk about the Greek titan Helios.
He was the personification of the sun and the original sun god. He possessed a golden chariot which he used to drag the sun across. This chariot was pulled by four burning horses of great magnitude.
He was originally a different entity from Apollo, but the two later became one in the minds of millions.
Because of this, Apollo possessed the [God Persona] Helios and the [Sun Chariot] was Helios’ Regalia to Jace.
And because Helios was a titan, Jace also had the ability to become a titan as well.
“I'm going to turn you to ashes for your disrespect towards me!”
He swung his hand in front of him.
“Pyrois!”
One of horse detached itself from the chariot.
“Kill her!”
“Neigh!”
At Jace command the horse run on the air like it was the ground, and descended towards Kimiko.
The horse was at least a kilometer. It shone brightly as flames gathered around it.
It opened its mouth and fired a pillar of golden flames.
*BOOM!*
Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.
The flames hit the earth and destroyed the ground.
*Swoosh!*
Kimiko shot out of the flames and in the form of a beam of black light.
She charged towards the horse with the image of dozens of flowers blooming behind her.
“[Death Garden]!”
The horse was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of black flowers.
“Neigh?!”
Thick black vines suddenly wrapped themselves around the horse and stopped it from moving.
The horse got mad and spewed fire from its mouth to destroy them, but they quickly grew back and entangled it.
“Devour him.”
At Kimiko's command and giant flower appeared behind it and tried to devour the horse.
“Neigh!”
But it was turned into ashes by the flames of the other three horses.
They quickly descend and destroyed the garden of black flowers.
But then-
“[Black Petal Waltz: Black Snake]!”
*BOOM!*
They were quickly devoured by a colossal snake made of black petals.
“Neigh?!”
The horses’ agonizing screeches resounded in the air.
“Return!”
Jace snapped his fingers and horses reappeared attached to the chariot.
Kimiko moved her hand and the black snake rushed towards Jace.
Seeing that, Jace grabbed the reins and ordered the horses to charge.
The chariot then turned into a giant ball of fire while dragging the sun behind it.
*BOOM!*
The two suns instantly destroyed the black serpent.
This caused Kimiko to be surprised.
She waved her hands and six more black petal serpents rush to intercept the falling in suns.
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
But none of them last a minute against the heat and force of the suns.
“[Misty World]!”
Kimiko thrust both hands forward and an orb of mist twice an average mountain appeared to block the suns path.
*BOOM!*
The suns collided with the mist orb and caused the neighboring hills to flatten by the pressure.
“Argh!”
Kimiko felt like she was trying to push the world off her as she groaned.
She was quickly forced towards the earth.
*BOOM!*
Cracks ran across the ground as the suns forced their weight on her.
The immense heat made her feel like she was being roasted. The only thing preventing her from being burn to a crisp was the misty world that was blocking the suns.
*BOOM!*
The pressure increased again and Kimiko was forced under the earth.
*BOOM!*
The depth she was forced underground increased by the second.
“Argh!”
*BOOM!*
The misty world couldn't handle the pressure any longer and was destroyed.
With nothing to shield her from the suns, Kimiko was hit dead on.
*BOOOOOOM!*
A catastrophic explosion spread through the area and destroyed everything in a 100 mile radius. This explosion left a crater of similar proportion.
“Heh.”
Jace looked down on the crater with a satisfied expression, while in the sky.
“Fool. No one can go against the sun.”
*BOOM!*
“What?!”
While he was gloating over his victory, a enormous arm burst out of the center of the crater.
*BOOM!*
Another one burst out.
*BOOM!*
This time a whole body emerged from underground.
It was titanic being that measured several miles like it was a walking mountain.
“You fucking brat!”
The Titanic Kimiko roared.
She looked up at Jace and kicked off the ground.
*BOOM!*
She shot towards him like a bullet with gigantic wings made of black mist on her back.
“Tch. Charge!”
Jace and the chariot turned into a sun again and charged at Kimiko.
“Know your place!”
Kimiko's fist was covered by thick black mist and looked like a snake.
“[Corpse Eater]!”
She thrusted her hand forward and a enormous snake rushed towards the falling suns.
*BOOM!*
The snake clashed with the suns and surprisingly extinguished them.
“Guah?!”
Jace screamed out in agony as his chariot was destroyed, and his body was fatally injured.
He crashed into the earth and bounce a few times.
He lost an arm and both legs.
He laid on the ground bleeding heavily and was on the verge of death.
Kimiko moved to kill him.
“[Apollo Mode]!”
Jace screamed desperately.
He was body returned to its previous appearance, if you excluded his missing limbs.
“Shit!”
Figuring out what he was about to do, Kimiko quicken her pace.
“[Divine Healing]!”
But she was too late.
Jace's body was covered by a gentle blue light. After it faded, he regain his missing limbs and his other injuries were gone.
Apollo was the god of many things, this included medicine and healing. Because of this his Proxies possessed abnormal regenerative abilities.
“[Corpse Eater]!”
Seeing that she missed her chance, Kimiko angrily and attacked again.
The gigantic black mist snake charge towards Jace.
“[Silver Bow]”
Jace jumped back and summoned a silver bow in his hand. This was Apollo's bow, Jace's second Regalia.
He pulled the bow back and fired.
*BOOM!*
A silver arrow shot out and ripped through the air and destroyed the serpent.
*BOOM!*
The arrow continued it course and headed towards Kimiko.
A sinister aura covered her body and formed a fist, which destroyed the arrow.
Kimiko stared at Jace with bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that she really wanted to kill him.
Jace was the same. He wanted to get rid of the woman in front of him, more than anything.
“Looks like I'll have to use my trump card.”
He mumbled.
He then gripped the bow tighter and said-
“[Plague God]!”
With his shout his body started to change again.
His hair turned silver, his cornea blacken and his pupils turned white, his skin paled in an unhealthy manner, and ominous looking markings appeared on his face and body.
This was Jace’s Plague God Mode.
Before he was considered the god of light, the sun, medicine, music, or even poetry, Apollo was considered the god of plagues.
The silver bow and arrow he carries are said to be what he used to spread his Plague.
“So he wants to end this, huh?”
Kimiko felt the dread from Jace and knew that this was his trump card.
“Fine! I’m itching to kill you too!”
Kimiko's body then started leaking a black haze.
Her skin started to lift off as if she was shedding in entire existence.
It wasnt long before what stood there was a titanic being completely surrounded by sinister black haze.
There was no way to make any physical features.
“[Queen Of Hel]!”
This was Kimiko's true appearance.
*BOOM!*
The two kicked off the ground at the same time.
Jace fired dozens of arrows at Kimiko. Each arrow caused everything rot, even the air.
Kimiko punch away the arrows and continued to rush towards him.
Jace flipped the bow and it turned into a sword.
He swung it and rip the world in two.
“Rawr!”
Kimiko released a madding roar from her mouth which caused the ground shattered and blew everything away.
*BOOOOOM!*
The roar and the slashed collided and destroyed everything around them.
Kimiko leaped forward and swung her fists. Jace roared and swung his sword.
*BOOM!*
The fist and sword collided.
Kimiko then slammed her leg in Jace’s side.
Jace swung his sword and cut her hand off.
However the black haze quickly formed another arm.
Kimiko uppercut Jace, who quickly turned the sword back into a bow and fired an arrow in her chest.
*BOOM!*
Her chest burst open.
Jace smiled, but his smile quick vanished when he saw a spike shot out from her chest.
He spun his body and avoided it.
*BOOM!*
However he was punched by an arm that came from behind her.
He slammed into the earth.
Kimiko saddled him and began pounding him like a beast.
‘What the hell is this thing?!’
Jace thought as he watched Kimiko spurt more and more limbs. He even saw a mouth opening in her chest.
He felt instinctively afraid.
‘This thing isn't a god or human or even a demon! This is just a damn monster!’
He thought.
He wasn't wrong. Hel, and her brothers were consider three monsters that were feared by the gods in Norse mythology.
Kimiko's grandmother was a giant monster too.
So while she was a demigoddess, Kimiko was also from a lineage of monsters.
Jace realized that he was being overwhelmed by the monster in front of him, and decided to retreat.
“[Divine Plague]!”
He slammed his fist in her torso and a terrifying power shot through Kimiko's body.
Black blood sprayed from her mouth as she stumbled back and withered in pain.
Jace used the chance to distance himself.
His was body was wrecked from Kimiko's pounding, and he could barely stand.
He made the silver bow appeared in his hand again.
“I'm ending this with this final attack!”
A sinister black light started gathering in front of the bow. The few plant life that was left started withering when this light appeared.
It was as if the bow was drawing out all of the life energies in the area and turning it into an attack.
Jace locked his eyes on Kimiko's head. No matter how much of a monster she was, he was certain that she would die if he hit the head.
He drew the bow and then-
“[Plague God’s Arrow]!”
*BOOM!*
A enormous pillar of light shot towards the withering Kimiko.
And then-
*BOOOOM!*
The arrow blew off her head.
Black blood sprayed in the air and tainted the land as she fell over.
The black haze disperse and only her headless body remained.
“Hah~! Hah~! Hah~!”
Jace fell to his knees as his knees. He had used everything he had to fire the arrow.
He looked at Kimiko's headless body and smiled.
“I did-?!”
An image of him being stabbed in heart suddenly flashed in his mind.
It was his self defense mechanism, [Clairvoyance].
“Wha?!”
Jace tried to move but his body wouldn't listen to him.
And then-
*Stabbed!*
He felt something pierce his chest.
It was then another Kimiko appeared in front of him.
“How?”
Jace couldn't help but ask.
Kimiko looked at him coldly and spoke.
“You remember the arm you cut off earlier? I moved my soul to it right before your arrow blew my head off.”
“You moved your soul?”
“Oh? You didn't know. Some of my clan members can use Soul Magic. I'm one of them. When I moved my soul, I used the severed arm as base and recreate a new body. You should know that it's possible with Qi, right.”
Kimiko used [Stealth-Camouflage] to hid herself while she regenerated. She then watched Jace closely to confirmed that he had used up all of his strength. After she confirmed it, she snuck up and pierced his chest with her hand.
“In the end, I'm still an assassin so I decided to kill you how an assassin should.”
Jace face immediately paled.
“[Healing]!”
He desperately tried to activate his abnormal regenerative ability.
“It's no use. I'm not grabbing your heart, but your soul itself. As long it's in my grasp you can't use any of your abilities.”
Kimiko then pulled her hand, and Jace could feel all of his strength leaving his body.
“I told you earlier didn't I?”
She brought her mouth to his ear.
“You're not on my level.”
“Shut up!”
Jace began shouting.
“I'm a supreme being, a God! I can't die like this! Especially not by the hands of a lowly being like you.”
“Arrogant until the end, huh? Well, I guess it's better than begging for your life.”
She then looked up.
“Apollo, I advise you to find a more humble proxy next time.”
She got no reply, but she wasn't looking for one.
She then looked at Jace one last time.
“Goodbye, brat. It's time for your sun to set.”
She then pulled her hand back and a semi-transparent white ball appeared in her hand.
Jace's eyes immediately dulled and his body tumbled over.
Kimiko squished the soul in her hand, thus truly ending his life.
She then turned around and walked away.
“Now that I think about it, I only needed one more god kill to become a 5star [Tyrant]. Looks like I'm one now.”
She then returned to her human appearance and disappeared.
Back at the Summit Of The Gods.
“Sigh. This is why I told him to be careful.”
Apollo sat in his room and sighed.
“That girl was right. I should choose my Proxies more wisely.”
He then rest his head in his hand.
“Look like I should wait a while before I offer a new contract.”
He sighed again.
“And I just found the perfect candidate in the Dragna Kingdom too.”
He got up from his seat and stretched his body.
“But watching how they mature before I approached is probably for the best.”
He then left his room and walked down the hall.
“But I can't believe that there was someone that had such a strong compatibility with me. And in that kingdom of all places. I guess Jace's death isn't so bad after all.”
He smiled as he spoke.
“I can't wait until they matures.”
