Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Persephone's cheers and encouragement.
This made Hades' face turn green involuntarily.
Because he knew that his wife would never cheer him on.
But even if it was really shouted at him, it was enough to anger Hades.
Who is he? He is the Lord of the Underworld!
Why do we need to cheer on a tiny human being when dealing with him?
Hades' anger grew even stronger, and his agitated breathing seemed to make his fiery beard bristle.
He gripped the spear even tighter, but even in his rage, he did not lose his reason.
He knew perfectly well that if the fight continued like this, he wouldn't have any way to deal with Viktor.
This dog thief was far more cunning than he had imagined.
Hades originally intended to go easy on the trial and keep its difficulty at a normal level.
After all, Viktor had already successfully defeated Cerberus, so he would definitely be able to pass the trial on normal difficulty as well.
But now, he realizes he must demonstrate even greater power.
He wanted to give the celestial gods who had challenged him a profound shock, while also demonstrating the majesty of the underworld.
So Victor started this trial, which caused Hades some distress.
But it turned out to be exactly what he wanted.
"In that case..."
"Then let's try this."
As soon as he finished speaking, a plume of black smoke engulfed Hades, who was engulfed in flames.
When the smoke cleared, Hades had vanished without a trace.
At that moment, Erica, who was watching the battle in spirit form beside Viktor, looked around.
But no matter what they did, they could not find Hades.
"He can turn invisible!?"
She stared in surprise.
Hades' enormous body, as massive as a high wall, and his world-destroying attack techniques were already terrifying.
At first, Erica thought Hades was an extremely powerful warrior.
So, someone with his physique is actually an invisible assassin?!
She couldn't understand, and then looked down at 'herself'.
But she discovered that her own body was behaving completely calmly.
Hades' invisibility seems unsurprising.
Seriously? The professor even anticipated this move?
But as Erica saw her own body displaying such composure and confidence, her cheeks couldn't help but flush.
If it weren't for Professor Victor controlling her body, she would never have imagined that she could display such an expression and aura.
A thought suddenly occurred to Erica.
He must look really handsome like this.
Perhaps she should prepare a trench coat for herself.
Thinking of this, Erica began to observe carefully and secretly recorded Victor's calm and composed expression and his composed demeanor.
At this moment, Victor, who was controlling Erica's body, had no time to pay attention to Erica's thoughts.
His attention was completely focused on the surroundings of the trial grounds, and entirely on Hades, who was invisible.
Hades' invisibility ability stems from his mysterious helmet—
Hades' invisibility helmet.
This equipment is extraordinary; it is a true "divine artifact."
As for why Viktor knows so much about Hades' equipment...
Those who know, know.
Typically, when players engage in intense combat with this Hades, the opponent may use the power granted by the helmet.
He can make his body disappear into space, erasing his own color and outline.
Then, unexpectedly, it delivers a fatal blow to the player.
Players facing Hades for the first time are almost all unable to withstand this attack.
However, if one can deeply understand and master Hades' fighting rhythm...
Like now!
When a nearly silent breeze brushed past Erica's ear, her gaze instantly shifted to the direction of the spatial ripples beside her.
Immediately afterwards, those calm eyes suddenly flashed with alertness, and the pupils contracted.
Boom—!!!
A deep red spear, with a golden tip and scorching flames, suddenly appeared from the void, swiftly drawing a huge arc in the air.
In an instant, a terrifying, violent roar resounded throughout the entire trial grounds.
The scorching heatwave spread outwards, melting all the snow on the ground.
Even the steam was torn into pieces by this powerful airflow.
Countless rifts appeared in the void, and the entire trial grounds shook and churned as if an earthquake had struck.
The powerful shockwave tore through the air on the platform and swept towards 'Erica'.
Under this fierce shockwave, countless onlookers instinctively curled up.
They were terrified of being torn in two by that terrifying airflow.
No one could see what was happening on the central battlefield; only deafening roars echoed through the Trial Underworld.
Even Persephone had to cover her face with her hands, the hot and strong wind causing her white skirt to flutter.
call--
As the air currents gradually dissipated, the spirits of the dead poked their heads out.
Persephone also lowered his hands, his curious gaze once again focusing on the center of the battlefield.
There, all was deathly silent.
Immediately afterwards, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
As the image appeared clearly in front of everyone, everyone stared in shock.
Because Hades remained in the posture of wielding his spear.
Behind him, Erica floated in mid-air, her entire body also enveloped in flames.
However, the flames surrounding her were incredibly red and dazzling.
Then, a huge, crimson flame extended from Erica's arm.
It transformed into a giant arm and directly gripped Hades' neck.
The crimson flames intertwined completely with the orange blaze, tightly coiling around Hades' neck and continuously contracting.
At the same time, a calm voice rang out from 'Erica's' mouth.
Although it was calm, it sent a shockwave through Hades' ears.
It was as if a raging torrent was exploding right next to your ears.
"Got you?"
