BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132: Chapter132-Tyr
In fact, the feather turned into light as soon as it entered John\'s mouth and merged into his body.
At the same time, a dialogue box popped up in front of John.
[New Class Obtained: Death Herald]
[Currently Awakened Classes: Alchemist (Level 145), Trickster (Level 35), Debauchery (Level 24), Transgression (Level 1), Death Herald (Level 1)]
[Current Player Level: 62]
Seeing this, John couldn\'t help but laugh.
While most players were still struggling with their second class change, he had awakened five classes at once, each incredibly powerful!
The Trickster class replaced truth with lies, Debauchery summoned gray-black mist, Transgression controlled black flames, and so on.
Each class provided John with immense combat capabilities.
It wouldn\'t be an exaggeration to say that John now had full confidence in taking down [Betrayal] on his own, smashing his head into his chest!
"Alright, let\'s go hunt down that Dragon of Death and Sin."
Although the process was a bit lengthy, Hades was satisfied to see John swallow the feather.
It was his little joke, as the feather had no physical form and was just to mess with John.
But under the circumstances, John had no choice.
Even if the feather were real, could John refuse? From the start, he had no right to refuse Hades.
Their positions were unequal, and Hades could have killed him anytime, turning him into a wandering soul in the Underworld.
[Main Quest Completed: Obtain Hades\' Power. Exit the Dungeon?]
"No, not yet!"
Without hesitation, John chose to continue.
Since Hades had promised to help him kill Falms, why not take advantage of it?
Killing Falms would undoubtedly yield even greater rewards for John!
However, John didn\'t realize that there is no such thing as a truly free lunch; anything taken must eventually be repaid.
After restraining Hera once more, Hades led John and the others back to the palace.
Falms instantly awoke, sensing the presence of the Underworld and lowered his proud head.
"My king, you have returned and brought back a human?"
"Hmm... Falms, how long have you been in the Underworld?"
"Over four thousand two hundred years, my king. Falms is willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
"Over four thousand years already? By now, you should have the ability to ascend to [godhood]. With all the power you\'ve accumulated, I believe you fully deserve to become a god."
"Whether it\'s godhood or demigod status, it\'s just a title. My only mission is to serve by your side, my king."
Hearing this, John was speechless.
A dragon could be this sycophantic?
No wonder Hades kept Falms in the Underworld instead of killing him; it was all because of this endless flattery.
"Falms, there\'s an opportunity right now. You see this human? If you can kill him, I\'ll help you ascend to godhood. If you can\'t, prepare to face true death."
"My king, are you certain he is my opponent?"
If Hades wasn\'t present, Falms might have laughed out loud!
A human, someone who hasn\'t even reached demigod status?
Falms couldn\'t imagine any scenario in which he would lose.
All he had to do was open his mouth and unleash Abyssal Dragonfire to turn John into a charred corpse.
This statement was clearly unexpected for John.
His mind was racing with the thought, "Wait, I\'m supposed to fight Falms?"
This is completely out of my league; this could actually get me killed!
Unfortunately, as the weakest person present, John had no grounds to object.
However, Hades\' next words brought him some relief and hope.
"Of course, during your battle, I will suppress your strength, making your powers as equal as possible.
Additionally, you must take human form. This is your restriction, Falms. Do you have any objections?"
"My king, I have no objections. In fact, I am ready and can fight at any time!"
"John, what about you?"
"I have no objections."
"Good. I hope you don\'t disappoint me."
Hades smiled, turning away.
The palace floor beneath them transformed into an arena.
Hades, along with [Deception], had moved to a high platform to watch the battle.
Standing in the center of the arena, John clenched his teeth and watched Falms\' body shrink.
With a thought, the chaos chains appeared in John\'s hand.
This fight was not unwinnable for John!
With their strengths equalized, the one with the better tricks would have the upper hand.
And when it came to hidden tricks, John had never feared anyone!
As Falms transformed into a burly, naked man, John bowed politely.
"John."
"Doesn\'t matter. I\'m not interested in your name. You\'ll be dead soon anyway."
Falms sneered, not taking John seriously at all. And he had the arrogance to back it up.
Suddenly, Falms, who had been standing more than a hundred meters away from John, vanished and reappeared behind him in the blink of an eye.
His fist, covered in black scales, was aimed straight at John\'s face, accompanied by a gust of wind.
Seeing this, John remained calm.
For a long time, John had trained countless times on how to react when someone got close.
Compared to Qing, Falms\' punch was weaker!
In an instant, black flames erupted around John.
Resembling the Ghost Rider, he swung his burning chains at Falms!
Seeing this, Falms was visibly surprised.
He looked at the ominous black flames and decided against grabbing the chains, sidestepping instead.
Abyssal Dragonfire erupted from his palm, engulfing John completely!
However!
A powerful shockwave rippled out, effortlessly shredding the Abyssal Dragonfire.
John brushed the flames off his shoulder, completely unharmed.
"It seems your flames have no effect on me. Want to try mine?"
"You talk too much!"
Falms crouched, his black wings unfolding behind him, and launched himself into the air, then dove at John like a mortar shell!
There was no doubt that if John were hit by a creature covered in scales like this, he would be done for.
In truth, John wasn\'t the type to go head-to-head. The reason he clashed with Falms was just to buy time.
Now, he had enough time!
A giant carnivorous plant grew from beneath John\'s feet, its bloody maw snapping at Falms.
Yet Falms easily tore through the thick flesh.
But the scene that followed made Falms gasp in shock!
Then, suddenly, the wandering soul that had always lingered outside the palace appeared behind John, its blood-red eyes fixed on Falms, making him feel as though his very soul was trembling!
For a brief moment, Falms was distracted.
In that instant, John condensed the black flames into a spear and shot it straight at Falms\' forehead!
Unfortunately, striking a winged creature capable of flight was no easy task.
The flame spear merely grazed Falms\' shoulder, failing to penetrate his defenses.
However, one thing was confirmed: this soul was indeed extraordinary!
Even a Demigod-tier being like Falms was affected by it.
John\'s earlier predicament now made perfect sense. But who exactly was this powerful soul?
Hades provided the answer.
"Tyr, I should have warned you to stay away from the palace."
As Hades spoke, John saw the soul suddenly freeze in place, trembling uncontrollably like a leaf in the wind.
"I... I didn\'t mean to, I didn\'t mean to, Hades! Please, please don\'t torment me!"
