Volume 4 Chapter 183 - Athena

"Thousand Demon Eyes, release.

"I will return unto you your curse. Be melted down.

"Pandemonium Cetus! Fuhahahahahaha!"

Renouncing her last vestige of Divinity, accepting the curse which turned him into a monster, Medusa, cast a spell that is many times stronger than her previous 'Blood Fort Andromeda' with any prior need for setup.

Everyone is already in the vicinity of the olive tree, but those around more than 3 meters away from the tree instantly liquefied into a pool of blood and gore before gathering towards Medusa for consumption.

She continued laughing maniacally with a tear-stained face while absorbing the life force of everyone who died and converting it to Mana.

Those who are inside the 3-meter boundary are the important people of the Clan and was able to survive. But even then, they can feel that their life force is being robbed at a faster rate each second and sooner or later, they too would turn into a pool of blood and gore despite the protection of the olive tree is providing.

"Dammit!!! Are we going to die here!?" Theodore muttered and used his Mana to resist Medusa's magic and also using some of his Mana to protect Elexa and his mother.

Teny and Petter kept quiet but they too also started to lose their cool, 'When will Athena come!? The monster she's been waiting for already appeared!'

Just as they thought that they would die for real, a golden light came from the owl statue which is on the stone table and it then transformed into a woman in golden armor.

The woman is as tall as Medusa when she's still in her human form. She has waist-long slightly wavy black hair that reflects light. She has a pair of red-wine eyes and a slightly childish face contrasting her height. Despite that, she has a beautiful face that could captivate any normal man. Her chest would be on the slightly smaller side which is the same size as Sona Sitri's.

Teny cheered internally at her appearance, 'Finally! This lazy bitch is moving her lazy ass!' Changing her expression instantly, Teny faced Athena with an aggrieved expression, "Goddess Athena! Please save your loyal followers from this demise!"

The golden armored woman, which is Athena, furrowed her brows for a bit before instantly returning to normal. With a single leap, she arrives and floated above the olive tree and raised her shield without any words.

The shield gave off a warm golden light that enveloped those who are still alive and completely protected them from Medusa's Pandemonium Cetus.

Gritting and showing her fangs, Medusa glared at Athena and tried to use her petrifying gaze. Transferring the effects of Pandemonium Cetus back to her eyes, Medusa was able to petrify bits of Athena's hands.

Raising her brows, Athena propelled her Divinity to shook of Medusa's mystic eyes' effects, "Hooh? It's amazing that you still have this much strength in your eyes."

"You bitch!" Knowing that her eyes won't have any further effects on her, Medusa then attacked directly. She flew towards Athena and brandished her claws.

Athena used her shield skillfully to fend off her attacks without much effort. Loud clashes of metals were heard throughout the devastated colosseum.

Not gaining any advantages, she started using her tails to attack her from tricky angles. Athena then was forced to use her sword to meet her tail.

Athena could have finished her off if she revealed her true strength but she wanted to confirm something before killing her, 'Hmm… Her Divine Core is already mostly converted to a Corrupted Core, but one percent of it is still hanging on… She still can't give up on something? Is it that man she came with? Did she really fell in love as that two-faced human said?… Too bad… You can't experience something like that as you're a threat to us gods and the whole world… If you three sisters didn't manifest as goddess through beliefs, then maybe, we could have been friends.'

Athena kept fending off no matter what kind of attack Medusa throws at her to wait for the last one percent to be converted. But no matter how long she waited, it didn't happen, 'No choice then… I have to use those chains again… I'm sorry, but you'll have to suffer more.'

Athena's sword shone brightly after she raised it up. Swinging it down, a wave of golden energy shoots out from it and hits Medusa squarely dropping her to the ground like a meteor creating a large crater, "Gah!!!"

Cloud of dust and debris rose up when Medusa hit the ground. With another wave of her sword, Athena conjured a wind to blow the clouds of dust off and revealed the lying Medusa coughing out blood.

Not letting her recover, Athena threw her sword towards her, impaling her to the ground through her stomach, "Ahh!!!"

Those from the Perseus Clan cheered loudly to Medusa's apparent end.

Athena slowly descended towards Medusa. She grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out spraying Medusa's blood everywhere.

Medusa cried out in pain. In desperate attempt to retaliate, she infused most of her Mana to her cry making the remaining weak members of the Perseus Clan lose their lives instantly. A wail of death forced them into a forced slumber that they would never wake up from.

Athena ignored those who just died and just stared at Medusa while she retreated. A few seconds later, from the wound on her stomach, 9 silver chains came out from it that made Medusa scream in pain again.

Those silver chains hovered around Medusa before coiling around her, effectively restraining any type of movement from her. Soon after, blood-like veins appeared on the surface of the chains and renewed Medusa's screams.

Medusa, however, hasn't given up. She pooled every last bit of her Mana for one final attack. The driving force behind these actions is her desire to take revenge for the man she could never see again and who died because he got involved with her. Although she's regretting that she ever met him, she was also very thankful for the fact. A contrasting feeling that would never get resolved due to the man's fate.

Athena was shocked that she was still able to attack with that much vigor and used her shield to block the attack. Receiving it directly, she was thrown off and hit the edge of the isolated space destroying everything in her path.

Medusa was not able to celebrate because she now knows what these chains are for. Ever since it first tied her up, she thought that it was just there to keep her in this land. But now the chains suddenly revealed a new feature which is to corrupt her Divine Core.

Due to her rage and despair, Medusa's Divine Core started corrupting itself and she descended to a monster known as Gorgon. As her Divine Core kept getting corrupted, the last vestige of her rationality slowly disappears until it stops at the very end. That's where she keeps the memories of her sisters and she doesn't know when, but her interactions with Kisuke too. Desperately holding on to this last Divinity of her so that she won't ever forget those precious memories.

But these chains are now forcefully corrupting her that her successful attack against Athena became a trifling matter.

She tried resisting it but she knew that it wouldn't take long before she completely loses all those memories along with her emotions and become just a killing machine until her end, 'No! No! I don't want that! Please! I don't want this.' She desperately shouted in her mind.

Athena recovered from a bit of damage she received and waited for Medusa's complete corruption before killing her, 'At last… Without her Divine Core, she wouldn't be able to gather herself back…'

'Elder sisters… I don't want this' Medusa started tearing up.

She suddenly remembered Kisuke's face with a cheeky smile that gave her reassurance that somehow, everything is going to be fine, 'Kisuke… Please help me! I don't want to forget you!'

"Hey~. What's up with the snotty face? Who made you cry? Want this big brother to kick her butt?"

"Ki…suke?"

"Yep~ It's your lovable and handsome shopkeeper~."
