Young God Divine Armaments Chapter 42

Chapter 42 – 4th Passage of the Legend: Fierce Duel with The Thunder God (1st part)

“DOORRYAAAAA!!”

A strange warcry resounded in the God’s Realm that blows away the serious atmosphere of duel that had been heated up to the climax point. Even Renya returns an idiotic reply towards it.

Alberg attacks with a big swing towards him. Renya, naturally as a war god, easily evades it and attempt to do counterattack in that instant ---- but he suddenly feels a bad premonition and gives up trying to counter back and take a back step with all his might.

If Renya decided to continue on with his counterattack, a scene where he got blown away by that explosion can be easily imagined. Just thinking about that possibility made a line of cold sweat appears in Renya’s forehead.

That skill name is simple but the destructive power is not something to laugh at.

“But! If you choose to use long range attacks because of my first strike then ---- You are still too naïve greenhorn!”

Aiming straight to Renya.

The lightning that had it course turned abruptly from vertical to horizontal flash forward in a squirming pattern to Renya like a dragon trying to shoot through him. But because it moves in a straight line, Renya was able to barely evade it in just time. But that attack just now is just too surprising that even Renya get baffled by it and makes him unable to hide his astonishment.

“Why? Because I can’t drop it anywhere I like that’s why!”

Everyone gathered in this place naturally gathers their gaze at one person. And that person is Martina.

“Thunder God Alberg is widely known as a merciless god who execute his divine judgment by using his lightning bolt. And to make things worse…… he didn’t only punish the sinner, but he also punishes those around the sinner. But in actuality ---- that is only a fabricated interpretation that actually hides his fatal weakness”

“Brenda, never avert your gaze from the reality that is present in front of your eyes. Well, everyone seems to realize it already. Yes, that’s right. He is someone whose name sung in an exaggerated way as the God of Thunder but in reality he is just a nuisance god that couldn’t even control his lighting to hit the place he aims”

“That’s right. That guy would keep on sending in lightning until it hits the sinner that is going to be punished. And as the result, let’s just say that the land around the sinner will also become a scorched ground”

“Why did this god was entrusted with lightning in the first place!? Let me see the one who is responsible for this!”

“This is not a laughing matter! Dammit. Just when I thought I would have a good fight after a while… What I expect to be a battle with a similar combat type god was actually a battle with some oddball… I did expect some unexpected but this is just too far off!”

But then again, Alberg way of fighting is too simple that it is not even worth a praise but it was because of its simplicity itself that his technique doesn’t have any flaw which make it a hard nut to crack.

On that note, it seems that he can control it if he want the lightning to hit himself but ---- other than that one lightning, it means that the other lightning is unrelated with Alberg will. Where the lightning will strike, not even the god who reigns over it knows. And such random attack devoid of killing intent is very hard to foresee, much less dodge.

It was a real thunder crossfire hell. If he focus too much on the lightning that Alberg throws at him, then the lightning from above might strike him in his escape path when avoiding. This kind of situation will surely happen a lot in this battle.

And Alberg too, is in a state of excitement because he gets to fight again with an opponent that is hard to deal with after a long while at last. The number of falling thunder is beyond normal. Everywhere inside Renya’s line of sight is filled with lightning striking the ground.

(The way he fight is straight idiot but…… anyway I have to build my own momentum first……!)

He even can’t find any gap that he can use to even summon his divine armaments which is only a simple action normally. Alberg showers him with waves of attacks that make him unable to summon his divine armament much less using it.

First I have to get out from my opponent rhythm then get him in my own pace!

“Wha!”

The divine armament has a silver colored gun barrel and uses a 9mm caliber. It design is just the same as the beretta automatic pistol that exist in Renya’s previous life. But even if it outer design is the same, that item is definitely not just a normal pistol.

Well, let’s set aside that trivia that doesn’t have any connection with the divine armament ability.

This divine armament has a special action of ‘using’ it by pulling its trigger that is different from the other divine armaments. Well, it was a gun after all so it feature is the same of that a normal gun which operates with that action. For Renya, a divine armament real worth isn’t just from its raw power.

He wants a gun with unlimited ammo.

He wants a gun with high rapid fire rate.

That’s why, Renya thinks that a gun that doesn’t have such kind of limit would become a very strong weapon. In fact, Tathlum is a divine armament that is born from his wish for a fantasy like gun that definitely would excel a real gun. And the only one who knows about this trivia is only Floria.

Even though it was a divine armament that is made just to fulfill Renya’s ideals, Tathlum light bullets, with its loud firing sound that was intentionally made like that, isn’t inferior in the slightest or it might even be superior when compared to the lightning that Albert shots out.

It doesn’t use explosion mechanism to shoot so why it have to produce a loud gunshot? Well it was simply just one of Renya’s ideal. If it was about gun’s romance, then it should be that loud gunshot sound!

“Nuuuu, Such a curious weapon you are using there!”

You two both are a pair of curious existents itself. That was what the girls who spectate the battle anonymously think. And oblivious with the feeling of the spectator, the supposed to be a fist fight duel had turned out into a random shooting duel. Renya don’t have time to stop moving his feet.

He doesn’t want his future to become burnt black like a charcoal. With that feeling pushing him, he keeps on pulling the trigger while runs around.

Such queer exchange starts to unfold in the duel of the two gods. But when one look at it objectively, it was obvious that the advantage are still in Alberg’s hand. Against Renya who keep running about swiftly in the battlefield filled with thunderstorm to avoid a direct hit while still busying himself with shooting back at his opponent, Alberg’s offensive resources are just too overwhelming. Especially the fact that the opponent has full control of the sky is the most disadvantaged point for Renya.

But even against all this odds, Renya is still smiling fearlessly.

He keeps thinking of how he could overcome this stronger than a fortress thunder god.

He is just like a teenage who is actually at their happiest when challenging the unknown! Renya actually enjoy this predicament that befalls him.

But even if he seems like enjoying the moment, it doesn’t mean that he has the upper hand either. After hundreds or more projectiles exchanges between them, at last, a lightning that comes striking from above finally hit Renya. He was hit when he was stiffened for a while after doing an evasive maneuver. The lightning is just like has been aiming for this defenseless instant to strike. It was actually just a result of misfortune piled one after another that is caused by Alberg’s inability to aim his lightning.

With a godlike reflex, Renya points Tathlum gun point straight to above and pull the trigger. It was a close call but he still manages to avoid getting a clean hit in his most defenseless time. Then again because the lightning already comes very close to him, the firepower of the lightning couldn’t be offsets completely and grazes Renya. Renya felt like getting hit by a cannon shell in his sides when he got blown off by it.

Renya rolls on the ground like a ball from getting blown off by the impact but he had already deployed a barrier created by his divine power to protect his body so he doesn’t receive too much damage. But because he was blown by such a strong force which stirs him about in a random direction, the feeling is like getting on a jet coaster which ignores all safety regulation and gets derailed in the end, such kinds of reckless movement had made his sense shaken up and disorder him.

If he was a normal human then he probably would be dead 7 times because of that attack and that is still being kind. But as expected of a war god resilience power, the pain he experienced is just like when a normal human stumbled a little hard to the ground. His durability is indeed astounding that it will make others shrink back from it.

Alberg laugh audaciously after watching Renya’s performance but he still won’t stop his barrage of attacks. But against this, Renya is…

Replying back to Alberg hearty laugh with a sharp criticizing tone while still steadily returning fire with Tathlum. In a sense, this two pair of people is somewhat similar to each other.

Floria and the other girls can only gulp their own saliva while spectating the grand duel that is unfolding before their eyes. But then a sudden small whisper from Floria breaks the silence.

“Floria?”

There is a person who react the most to Floria’s whisper.

Watching the strife between the gods right before her eyes like this, she realizes just how far apart their dimension of power is. But even so, she can’t help but to chase after Renya’s figure who is dancing inside that strife.

“But, isn’t his power now…..”

“Ahaha~ You know~ Renya will always enjoys a battle in the end whether it was a full all out battle without any breaks or the handicapped battle that he is in like now even if that handicap is the one that he put it on himself. That time with daddy is an uphill battle where he has to keep on reaching an even greater height but Renya is actually a war god that can discover enjoyment in every kind of battle he is in”

(If that's the case then… If Renya think that living his everyday life is already like a battle worthy for him to bet his status as the war god… then……)

Looking at his back, she knows that he definitely would never shoulder any responsibility that he doesn’t want. In a bad way, yes, he seems very irresponsible from the front. But behind it that impression, he will surely to use his full power to get and protect the things that he desires.

Even for him to be this desperate in this battle, it was all because he doesn’t want to lose Hlidskjalf which he finally earns after dealing with many troubles.

Ah, I see. He probably doesn’t want to let Anrietta get back once again into that isolated places by herself.

Inside Brenda eyes that chase after the figure of Renya’s back are like a little girl’s delirious from fever. But that fever is different from any common sickness.

“Wha, No, That’s….. not…… it”

“Being honest with your own feeling is the best you know? Well, Renya also take his sweet time when conquering me but I’m sure Brenda wouldn’t want t wait that long right?”

“Nyufufu, there’s no point in hiding it when you are this flustered. The usual calm and collected Brenda is nowhere to be found”

“So that means it will be alright to talk about this later right?”

For now, she just wishes to concentrate in the passage of legend that is unfolding before her eyes.
