Young God Divine Armaments Chapter 43

Chapter 43 – 4th Passage of the Legend: Fierce Duel with The Thunder God (2nd part)

He got me good.

With his bout with Alberg, reality slaps him hard in the face and tells him that he is indeed still a greenhorn when facing another similar existence to himself.

Renya’s fighting style emphasize on the use of his peerless divine armaments as his main firepower. If Renya can be considered as a heavy-class cannon, then Alberg is like a heavy machinegun who can keep on shooting forever even though it has trouble with accuracy.

If that’s the case then why Renya doesn’t at least dual wield guns to increase his own fire rate? The answer to that is because Renya is still unable to do so yet.

He has two hands so he can image of using both hands to attack but reality isn’t as simple as his imagination. For Renya, ‘using’ a divine armament is a conduct which exert his divine power. Renya is still unable to control his divine power perfectly to ‘use’ different divine armaments consecutively, much less simultaneously.

“What happen to you War God! Don’t tell me you can even handle this much”

“Hah! That kind of peashooter won’t hurt me no matter how much it hit!”

Renya does nothing else besides returning fire earnestly with Tathlum. He flies about swiftly inside the unordered lightning strike shower. His light bullet would sometimes flies freely without any obstruction and hit Alberg squarely.

In a glance, they seem to be evenly matched.

It was because of the great difference in the quantity of divine power, which is the very source of power for any divinity, between them.

No matter how efficient he uses his divine power, he still can’t catch up to the average natural born divinities in regard of the quantity of divine power that he can reserve. Because of that, he is gradually cornered into deadlock situation.

Through his calm analysis as a war god, he knows that if things continue on like this, he will be the one who face defeat.

If this continues then he will just gradually uses up his divine power and finally bend his knee in defeat in the end because of the difference in divine power quantity. Rather than losing like that, he…

Will choose battle tactic that will give him the most winning chance!

It was the spectacle of various expressions that appears in the face of Floria and the other girls as they watch attentively to Renya battle from the other side of the barrier.

Brenda who gnashes her teeth in vexation but still won’t avert her gaze from the battle.

Therese who withstand the shivering of her small body with eagerness.

(If I don’t stand up now……much less a god, before that, I don’t even qualified as a man!)

This ‘authority’ of mine which haven’t had any chance to be used with ---- The time has come to unleash its full power!

And even more, for the sake of the girls who believes in me.

He is indeed a somewhat pitiful god. But it seems like he is not so pitiful in the face of conflict. Alberg stops his barrage of attacks after sharp-sightedly detects a change in the flow of divine power in Renya’s body.

“That’s the spirit! Then show it to me! If it was just another half-assed effort then let it be pulverized under my fist’s might!”

Lightning falls continuously from heaven like it was getting sucked to Alberg’s right fist which gradually turn that fist into a dazzling electric fist. The view of sparks of lightning danced while giving out a crackling sound in Alberg’s right fist is already enough to chill the heart of his opponent with fear. No mortal would dare to think of what will happen if that electric fist hit.

He did that to awaken the numerous divine armaments that sleep inside.

This was a realm that is impossible for a mortal to reach. It was his own mental state that takes shape as his authority when he ascends as a divinity.

This young newcomer god who still hasn’t had his own myth, at this time, at this place, with the way he naturally is, clearly declares.

Renya is a god who still hasn’t had his own worshiper.

He is no longer a god who is similar to a human neither a human who is similar to a god.

“I bring forth the principle that has been etched within my body to seize victory ---- Divine Arts”

He rushes straight up front without hesitation. Fear, worry, he tramples down all those negative feeling that can obstruct his path toward victory and charges forward.

With his right fist clad with the lightning that has been strengthened to the limit by his divine power, he believes that his fist is the strongest. He doesn’t even slightly doubt himself as he took a stance of a champion.

But it was because of his champion mentality ---- that he was utterly shocked by the view unfolding in front of him.

But like have been waiting for Alberg to take action, at the same time, glint of spears manifest and gliding towards him. Simultaneous thrown spear explodes from all four directions trying to skewer Alberg who is standing at the center.

Facing against this cataclysm level attack power, Alberg only hit the ground hard with his lightning charged fist to scatter it. He managed to scatter the divine power around him, disperses the wind, and broke the spear with that one punch. Yet the glow in his right fist doesn’t get weaker. In fact it glows even brighter like waiting it prey to come with joyous feeling.

But before Alberg finishes his preparation to receive the next attack wave, the next attack now comes from below. The ground shook wildly and from there numerous sharp edged stretch out piercing anything that standing on top of it like an earth dragon jaw that is about to chomp up its unaware prey and successfully swallows Alberg in a whole. Not stopping at that, the next attack, an intense thunder strike, which might be just Renya being vengeful, hit the closed up dragon jaw from above.

“GUNUNU…… Just this much…… petty trick are not enough to HOLD ME DOOOOOWN!”

He did succeed in deflecting the lightning but he can feel that his left fist is getting numb from it. He was shocked to know that he got hurt from lightning attack even though he himself is the god who governs over thunder.

But that moment of joy which not even last one second, that short moment where it is even difficult to be called an opening. Renya’s assassin dagger comes swooping.

In the battlefield space that is now filled to the brim with chaotic divine power pulses.

In this brief moment where he momentarily forgets about Renya’s existence and is about to return his attention back to his opponent.

All of those showy big moves, all those expert level performance, are just a set-up for this one single attack.

“---- I’ll be gladly to take this one point, Thunder God”

This is exactly what Renya’s authority actually is.

That skill was taken shape from the image of the god who has many hands and wields many weapons in each of his hands that is quite famous in his previous live.

◇

The party returns to the altar after the battle comes to an end.

“Well, that can’t be helped. After all, a god’s power mainly depended on the number of years they existed”

The group is now sitting on the ground so they can have a relaxed talk but everyone won’t miss Brenda lovable appeal to Renya as she nonchalantly guides Renya’s right hand on top of her thigh.

Renya was worried whether Alberg will demand another unreasonable things to them after the just finished trial but he just do as he promised before and approve Renya ownership of the ship. Renya secretly stroke down his chest feeling relieved from it.

“Mu? Witch, that was a misunderstanding in your part. In the first place, my sleep was linked together with the ship’s”

“That’s right. Because he said that the other god might be aiming for the ship so he has to be extra sure for the ship safety”

She didn’t expect Irikutta could be this tenacious in his preparation so that his creation could be left intact in this world.

“Of course I will fight them! Well, with many handicaps on my side of course. The number one way to know the temperament of someone else is definitely by exchanging blows with them!”

“Well then, War God. I must give you a present for being able to wins against me, mustn’t I?”

Promptly after, thumping noises that is different from his heartbeat noises starts beating inside Renya’s body. And with that, Renya felt that a new authority had been etched inside his soul.

“Indeed it is……I really thank you for this gift”

Hearing that phrases from Alberg, Renya who puzzled at what he meant to with his word, decided to ask.

“Mu? I have been asleep for a long time. It rather boring if I going back to sleep again straight after. And anyway I want to see the world situation after the few decades I have slept in. Ah and please be reassure Witch. According to the ancient oath, I already have no privilege to meddle with the world affairs ever again. I will only look around for the view from sky high like how a thunder god supposed to be”

“I won’t meddle too deep with your affair but…… are you truly just going to look around?”

After saying that, the noisy thunder god suddenly disappears from the temple without any sound.

Well, not that will matters much to the humans who are living at present times.

“Probably that premonition has a large chance to hit home. And at that time ---- I’m sorry but I have to ask you to deal with it”

“Don’t worry, I also have the same feeling as you regarding this. But then again I have my own limits as a mortal here which restrict me from traveling around easily. If it was you then you can effortlessly fly straight to him when trouble do comes. See? You can even skip to another continent while I tried to raise my old hip from the chair”

“Don’t say such stupid things. Babysitting a god is not an actual job for a witch you know? And you know what?......”

In the end it took them 30 minutes to return back to Renya’s lodging in the capital Rugartia.
