Chapter 0377—Underworld? Take It
“Satan?!”
The Underworld veterans were familiar with their former comrade. The possibility that Satan would end up in the enemy camp completely slipped their minds.
“Never expected to see you here,” Hades said as he continued to charge. He remained calm on the surface, though only he knew whether he felt the same deep down. Still, they were hindered by the enemy’s spell, and their formation that relied on speed had lost most of its piercing force.
“Is that so? I’ve been waiting for this day.” Satan unsheathed his dagger with his slightly trembling hand—not out of fear, but excitement. “Now that the Diabolos’ Blade is slowed down, how can you win this?”
A giant shadow appeared behind Satan. It pointed at Hades, summoning a vertical eye above his head. This was Satan’s encounter quest inheritance, Godslaying Mark. It locked onto a target and increased Satan’s damage on that particular target by 200 per cent, but all other enemies would receive half the damage instead, making it the perfect skill for assassinations and duels.
In Olympus, Zeus’s role was to take on hordes of enemies with his area-of-effect skills, while Satan beheaded the enemy’s commanders with Godslaying Mark.

Hades focused his eyes just in time to place his sword before him. Something hammered against it, and the incoming attack turned out to be a mere Knife Toss.
How can Knife Toss be so powerful… Hades thought.
“Hades, your legend as the Diabolos ends here today. I shall be the king of the Underworld from now on!”
The Western legend of Zeus the god of all gods, Hades the king of the Underworld, and Poseidon the king of seas; Satan had sworn not to claim the title of king of the Underworld until he defeated Hades.
The slowed Diabolos’ Blade can never defeat me!
Apart from tormentors, the Water Palace also consisted of rangers who went down the magic skill tree and ice elementalists. Frozen Shot and ice spells also provided decent slowing effects. Such was the power of the mighty Olympus!

Hades swept his sights across the Western players waiting to pounce on him and his allies. Suddenly, he broke into a hearty laugh as if everything was well within his control.
“I’m not sure if you’re overestimating yourself or underestimating me. Do you realise how ridiculous it is to assume I am oblivious to the weaknesses of Diabolos’ Blade?”
Satan was on full alert upon noticing Hades’ smile. He immediately shouted, “Go! Kill them all!”
“Kill them all!” The Western players, who had been encircling the advancing blade of players, swarmed at the attackers like a pack of hungry wolves.
“I know, don’t order me around,” another voice replied with a hmph.
A pair of white and red figures emerged from the attacking army. The white figure waved his fan casually—Blessed Winds, which increased movement speed by ten per cent for everyone within a 500-metre radius from the caster and consumed one per cent of maximum mana per second.
The red figure fluttered gracefully on the battlefield as she danced. It was the ultimate skill of dancers, Holy Dance of Cleansing, which removed all negative effects on all allies within range. However, her dance didn’t stop there. Dance of Godspeed followed, gracing her allies with eighty per cent increased attack speed and movement speed for ten seconds.
The hundred-thousand army regained their mobility and even increased in speed. Their footsteps resounded throughout the battlefield like thunder, while their attacks ravaged their enemies like lightning. The blade was razor-sharp once again, wielded by the man known as Hades.
Hades locked his eyes on Satan as if his former subordinate was a mere rat to be hunted and closed in on him.
“Hades!” Satan howled while splitting into two figures—Shadow Clone.
Satan, together with his clone, charged forwards with his dagger aimed at Hades and used All-out Strike. Branded by Godslaying Mark, even a paladin would die from two All-out Strikes.
If I die, if I lose this battle, you’re dying with me!
Hades squinted his eyes and thrust his sword. Its tip trembled, splitting into two, then four, then eight swords. Unlike Tripurity’s Mystical Swords, his skill was Thirteen Flashing Spiritual Swords. With eight swords conjured, his damage would multiply by eight!
Satan and his clone clashed against Hades’ spiritual swords, both at a standstill. However, this was in favour of Satan as Diabolos’ Blade would lose its momentum once Hades was halted.
“This is why you’ll always be inferior, why you’ll always be a mere subordinate. You only think of yourself. You treat your subordinates as mere tools instead of companions. In a war, I am never alone.”
Before Hades’ voice even faded, a shadow leapt up behind him into the air. Satan’s eyes turned red like a feral beast as he screamed, “Soulsmith!”
Soulsmith silently locked his gaze on Satan like a hawk, purple rays of like converging onto his bow. Mana Shot was a powerful skill reserved for the enemy’s commander, as ordered by Hades before the battle commenced.
“This is a gift from Underworld to you, traitor.”
Eight flashes of purple shot out into eight different directions, then homed in on Satan. The resulting blast knocked him backwards, breaking the deadlock. Hades’ spiritual swords pierced him as he grunted with a bitter look before exploding into a beam of white light.
“Who dares to stop me!” Hades’ roar pierced the skies. The horn on his forehead made him appear all the more ferocious, and the black smoke shrouding him turned him into a demon.

The Eastern army tore through the defenders like a hot knife slicing into butter. They dashed past the Western players and delved straight into the Dark Elven Village dungeon without sparing a look backwards.
Half an hour later, the system made an announcement. “Team ‘Can You Hold Us Back’ has set a new team record for clearing Dark Elven Village (Hell). The new record is 15 minutes, 29 seconds.”
The West’s previous record was roughly twenty minutes, yet Hades’ squad surpassed it by five minutes! Every second counted at the final stages; five minutes was an absolute stunner.445Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kkht5nUem
