Especially that bag full of gold coins, which was practically Charon's lifeline.
Even Hades, the ruler of the underworld, had to pay Charon gold coins to cross the River Styx!
This human boarded Charon's ship as a living person, and aside from not paying any gold coins,
They even stole Charon's purse!
At that moment, seeing the money bag fall into Victor's hands, Charon's deep, empty eye sockets suddenly burst forth with two beams of crimson light.
Its jaw became unusually restless, and the sound of its bones grinding together became more intense and piercing.
Da da da—da da da—
At the same time, Charon's bony fingers gripped tightly, even carving deep furrows into the oars.
A deep, chaotic mist emanated from Charon's clothes and bones, spreading across the ship's deck.
Seeing Charon's current state, Victor casually put away the money bag and hung it on his waist.
"That's right, now you're qualified to fight me."
"Defeat me, and I'll return your money bag to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly activated the magic power within him.
His eyes shone brightly, channeling a continuous stream of power into the azure giant blade in his hand.
Buzz—
Then, the powerful magic array that had been hidden for so long beside Viktor rapidly activated, layer by layer.
The inlaid patterns and runes were finally revealed, interacting and combining with each other.
Within seconds, several magic arrays surrounded Victor, seemingly enveloping him completely.
A flash of light appeared, followed by a magnificent surge of energy.
【War Magic: Sky-Opening Demon's Thousand Blades】
Instantly, the blade began to expand rapidly, and the outline of the magic power visibly expanded and lengthened.
Its internal magic quickly filled up as well.
Within seconds, the giant blade once again revealed its magnificent, world-shaking form.
Viktor swung the sword with one hand, raising it high into the sky, its tip gleaming with a sharp light.
boom!
Then, he swung his arm down heavily, and the giant blade cleaved through the vast expanse of ships, smashing violently against the enraged Charon.
...
At this moment, Hades was sitting in the deepest part of the center of the underworld, comfortably seated on that red leather chair.
He rested his dark face on his hands, silently gazing at the entrance to the underworld, without uttering a word.
As the ruler of the underworld, Hades has always advocated fairness and justice, which is his sacred duty as the judge of the underworld.
Therefore, when that human bravely stepped into the gates of hell to challenge the underworld, he chose to leave and observe the situation.
He didn't pay attention to the human's fighting style during the journey.
Even if his gaze could penetrate every corner of the underworld,
Hades still disdained to do so.
He hoped that the seemingly powerful human would defeat all the gods of hell and finally stand before him.
They will then engage in an absolutely fair duel.
Therefore, Hades is willing to wait patiently.
Even if that human might not have the strength to reach this place, and might have been defeated by some god along the way,
However, the waiting time is always long.
He's human; no matter how strong he is, he still needs rest.
Hades gave that human enough time to rest.
However, he was feeling a little bored at the moment.
But just as he was thinking this,
boom--
A sudden, violent tremor occurred around the underworld, causing the entire mansion and castle to shake violently.
Knock knock knock!
Immediately following, under the intense force of rock displacement and fracturing, the enormous underworld collapsed from the central soil.
Instead, VIP seating rose dramatically from the surrounding area.
They acted as a barrier, firmly sealing off the land where the underworld originally stood, creating a natural arena.
The countless ghosts in the audience became even more excited, and the cheers became more intense and fierce.
These cheers and screams resonated in Hades' ears.
Even Hades himself felt a surge of excitement.
Less than a day.
That human fought his way here from the gates of Hell.
Thinking this, Hades' muscles seemed to break free of their restraints and began to expand rapidly.
The veins were filled with orange flames, as if they were mixed into the blood.
But he remained seated with a composed expression, his brow furrowed.
Until the gates of Hades transformed into a long passage, Victor's figure slowly emerged from it.
At the same time, Hades pushed back his chair and slowly stood up.
With a sudden flick of his cloak, it turned into orange ash and vanished in the wind.
Extend your arm, slightly bend your fingers, and suddenly clench your fist.
A ball of flame suddenly ignited around his body, instantly transforming into a long spear that appeared in his palm.
He clenched his left hand and looked up at Victor in the distance.
At the same time, Hades's crimson eyes suddenly became exceptionally sharp, and flames burned intensely deep within his pupils.
With his left hand gripping the spear on the ground, he pointed sharply at Viktor with his right hand and shouted:
"Human beings."
"Now, I acknowledge your qualifications!"
"Come, fight me!"
...
Since the underworld cannot perceive the passage of time, no one can know for sure how much time has passed.
Under the watchful eyes of the assembled ghosts, all they could see were flickering flames and swirling magic in the arena.
Various flowing explosive magic rippled through the flames, layers of dazzling light overlapping and splashing brilliantly.
