Moe Girl Guardians

Without warning, a purple light flashed in his hand, and five circular energy orbs formed from the power of death appeared in front of him, instantly releasing beams of light that attacked Hades, the god of the underworld.

I don't know how long the Shikon Jewel will last, so I'd better deal with the guy in front of me first. If it expires, I'll have no one to blame but myself.

Five beams of light struck Hades with lightning speed. Hades, caught off guard, only had time to swing his dim black longsword to defend against part of the [Unborn Light]. The rest struck the black chariot, causing it to dim and return to its mythical state.

The current strength of both

Hades

[Lower Rank: Level 91]

【Wu Feng/The Gentle Breeze of Saigyouji Temple】

[Berserker Mid-Rank: Level 1]

With the enhancement of the Shikon Jewel, it truly broke through a major rank, directly leaping from the "Mid-Rank Ferocity" to the "Mid-Rank Madness".

"This is the power of death, something no human can control. But you are not my kin. Why do you oppose me and protect the corrupt humans?" Hades' face showed no anger as his chariot was destroyed. Instead, he became more solemn and cautious. The strange human (?) before him had mastered the power of death.

Hades' words also told everyone that Wu Feng was not a god who did not follow the gods from mythology.

"Me? Just an ordinary person who's just wasting his life. The difference is that I've been around for almost two hundred years, but in the end, I'm still a human being, so I can't just watch you do whatever you want," Wu Feng replied nonchalantly. Well, that's all the truth, isn't it?

Ordinary people can live for two hundred years! They can have the ability to fight against gods! Even if you're going to lie, at least make it believable! But the last sentence also gave everyone a boost of confidence; he (or she) was on their side.

"Obey your duty and return to the mythology," Wu Feng said, launching his second attack. His azure eyes suddenly snapped open, applying immense pressure to all the creatures before him.

【Slowness Demon Eye】

【Resurrected Soul Butterfly】

A purple halo appeared, and more than a dozen chains materialized, wrapping around Hades, the god of the underworld. No further pillars of light or blue-purple butterflies appeared. The purple butterflies weren't very destructive and could hardly harm Hades, who was clad in full-body sealed armor. The blue butterflies were almost ineffective against those who also possessed the power of death; using them would be a waste of energy.

After using the first two to bind Hades, the god of the underworld, five coins flew from his hands at the same time, his body surrounded by purple lightning that flickered continuously.

Railgun

Five purple electromagnetic cannons surrounded by lightning bolts flew out almost simultaneously. Compared to the previous pale purple and somewhat illusory lightning, the purple lightning used by the Madman was almost solidified, emitting a crackling sound. The moment it was used, the top of the Five Old Peaks was almost illuminated as if it were daytime, but it was filled with purple.

Bound by the [Slowing Eyes] and [Resurrection Butterfly], Hades unleashed a frenzied surge of energy, seemingly unaffected by gravity. The chains binding him snapped one by one, finally breaking free just before the [Railgun] arrived. (Looks like there are quite a few people who like crossdressing →_→, but the recommendation votes are lacking, please recommend!)

Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Dance of the Butterfly Dream

The chains snapped, and the Railgun arrived simultaneously. Facing the coin enveloped in purple lightning transformed from the power of death, Hades sensed the possibility of returning to mythology if his vitals were hit. Instantly, he flashed to the side.

Wu Feng was now stronger than Hades, and the binding effect of the [Reverse Soul Butterfly] delayed his movements, ultimately preventing him from completely dodging all the [Railguns].

(The binding effect of the 【Reverse Soul Butterfly】 is a product of Wu Feng's own modification, not the original. In addition, it was the first modification, so even Hades, whose strength is very close to his, could not be bound for very long.)

The scorching airflow generated by the friction between the coin and the air caused a wave of heat to blow by. Two [Railguns] grazed his left arm, and then five purple railguns flew into the distant sky.

As the most penetrating attack of all skills, even the protection of armor was useless. Wherever the [Railgun] made contact, the black armor turned to ashes and disappeared, revealing the skin underneath. Although it was not directly hit, it was burned to a bloody mess.

"One of the privileges of the God of Disobedience is super strong anti-magic power?" Hades dodged the [Railgun], which surprised Wu Feng. Then he remembered the ability of the God of Disobedience: magic is ineffective against gods, which means super strong anti-magic power. Magic can only be effective from within the body.

The slowing effect of the [Slow Eye] is pressure, which slows down living beings. The stronger a person's magic power, the lower the pressure they receive. The gods in this world may have a higher level of magic power than the [Slow Eye], so naturally they could not have any effect. This is why Hades was able to escape.

"I never imagined that, besides my own people, there would be someone with the same level of combat power." Hades calmly smoothed his bloodied and mangled arm, restoring the wound to its original state, but the armor was still cracked.

"But anyone who obstructs the purification will become my enemy. Speak your name, and I will remember it."

"I'm just a lazy bum named Wu Feng," Wu Feng said helplessly. Why do they all have to remember my name? It's useless... It just lets others know who has the power to slay a god.

"Wu Feng?" Luo Hao murmured softly behind him, looking at him with a strange gaze.

"The final blow to punish you has been delivered," Hades murmured. The dark, black longsword in his hand emitted a blood-red light, a deep and heavy color that would immediately cause dizziness and death to any ordinary person who saw it. He took a powerful step forward with his left foot and cleaved the sword down with both hands towards Wu Feng.

[The Punishment of the Underworld]

A crimson light emanated from the sword, forming a deep red slash nearly ten meters long, hurtling towards Wu Feng along the ground. Where the crimson slash passed, the earth cracked and the air became incredibly murky.

Wu Feng's lips twitched. His opinion of Hades had changed considerably, though entirely negatively! He could say something nice like, "I will remember your name carefully," and then suddenly... well, let's just say it.

Moreover, he couldn't dodge it. The attack range of [Netherworld's Judgment] covered Luo Hao behind him. He could easily dodge it, but Luo Hao would perish in the next second. He could only take the hit head-on.

Mobilizing the immense death power within his body, Wu Feng created a purple barrier in front of him, comparable in size to a slash, to prevent the still-recovering Luo Hao from being harmed, thus blocking the oncoming [Netherworld's Judgment].

The massive, blood-red slash and the purple barrier of death collided in front of him, creating a shockwave that blew far away. The barrier was not a skill, but simply a collection of death energy used to defend against the opponent's powerful slash. Even if one was stronger than the opponent, this was still extremely difficult to achieve.

Soon, the purple barrier was torn apart by the [Sanction of the Underworld], leaving cracks, forcing Wu Feng to increase the output of the power of death to barely maintain it.

After consuming some of its death power, it finally managed to withstand the [Sanction of the Underworld]. The purple barrier also reached its limit, and as it stopped outputting death power, it shattered into countless fragments and disappeared.

After the light shattered, a dark figure suddenly appeared, his black longsword transforming into a streak of light as he slashed at Wu Feng. It was Hades, the King of the Underworld. He had been advancing along with the crimson slash after unleashing [Sanction of the Underworld]. Seeing the barrier disappear, he unhesitatingly slashed down at Wu Feng with all his might.

[Reverse Screen]

Hades' sudden appearance caught Wu Feng off guard. He immediately used the basic rune technique [Reverse Screen], ignoring the effects of gravity, and forcibly rolled backward to float into the air, barely dodging the attack. However, a gap was cut in the [Gap].

Wu Feng's face immediately twitched upon seeing this. Although the [Gap] was a special piece of equipment, its effects were all in the skills, and its defense was terrible. Although it had an automatic repair function, the time it took to repair it was measured in years!

"Judging from your actions, you are not a melee fighter, while I am the opposite." Hades was very confident in his intuition. His opponent had not made a move from beginning to end, so he must not be very good at melee combat. His twitching expression seemed to confirm this.

“Indeed, I’m not very good at close combat. If I had come a year earlier, you might have succeeded just now and injured me a bit.” Wu Feng nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with Hades’s words, but his nonchalant reaction seemed to be mocking him. His body also fell from mid-air to the ground. Being able to fly and being good at aerial combat are two different things.

As soon as Wu Feng landed, Hades stepped forward again, intending to stick close to him and not give him a chance to fight back.

"My melee combat is weak, but that's only in Gensokyo. It's enough to deal with you!" The ethereal voice entered Hades' ears, and the situation before him made him instantly pale.

Unleashing the power of death from beneath his feet as propulsion, Wu Feng's speed instantly surpassed Hades', arriving before him as if by teleportation. Two purple hellish landscape fans appeared in his empty hands.

The Dance of the Butterfly Dream

Wu Feng murmured softly, spreading his arms and pointing his folding fan toward Hades, then turning his body in the direction of his forward movement.

Before Hades could react, the folding fan emitted a purple glow, like a dancing butterfly, and lightly and joyfully landed on him.

The seemingly light and agile folding fan carried immense force at high speed. This force even reminded Hades of Hercules, the brute who was all strength. His body was inevitably smashed down. Before he could recover, the second blow arrived. Wu Feng's other folding fan, which had spun around, also arrived at the same position, and the purple light butterfly slammed down once again.

The combined power of the two forces focused on Hades, causing a violent earthquake to occur on the Five Elders Peak!

(I love this move when playing Scarlet Heart Rhapsody! I'll try to write more chapters these next couple of days and aim for double updates next week, but I'll probably still have a couple of single updates.)

Chapter 89 Profession?

Saigyouji Yuyuko, an immortal spirit, should technically be classified as a mage. However, mages are only considered in comparison to melee-focused powerful youkai like Kazami Yuuka. Yuyuko can only be considered a mage in this sense. If compared to pure mages, such as Patchouli Knowledge who is so weak that she gets tired just walking, can you still classify her as a mage?

Only in a high-end world like Gensokyo can a mage with the strongest melee combat skills be called a mage. In any other world, they would be kings in melee combat.

【Dance of the Butterfly Dream】is classified as a basic rune skill by Yuyuko because of its low cost, but its power is comparable to a regular second-level rune skill (C-rank skill).

During the previous year of special training, besides being tortured to death by Yuyuko, Wu Feng also focused on improving Yuyuko's close combat skills. Wu Feng, who had almost zero talent for any close combat weapon, had a very high compatibility with Yuyuko in close combat and spent half a year making up for his weakness in close combat.

It wasn't that he learned close combat within a year, but rather that he made up for the lack of close combat skills that Hakugyokurou had lacked over the past century. He had already learned most of Yuyuko's talisman techniques, and with her personal guidance, he finally made up for this weakness.

The cultists watching from the sidelines stared in disbelief at what was happening before their eyes. They found it incredible that a god who was not a disobedient deity could defeat a divine beast, let alone easily drive Hades, the god of the underworld, into the earth. There had never been a precedent in history.

Unlike the usual reactions of the believers, Luo Hao's eyes showed some panic; the scene just now was unforgettable for her.

A young girl lifted slightly off the ground, floating in the air. Suddenly, her body tilted slightly and sped forward. The death energy released by the acceleration gathered and condensed in mid-air, turning into cherry blossom petals that scattered and flew everywhere.

Her long, soft, pale purple hair danced in the wind as she sped along. The girl murmured indifferently, and two folding fans made of pure purple appeared in her hands. Her seemingly frail body spun horizontally in mid-air, and the two folding fans transformed into two illusory discs, which struck Hades repeatedly.

To knock the opponent into the ground without any chance of resistance.

His movements were fluid and graceful, like a beautiful dance, without the slightest hesitation. The violent combat possessed an artistic beauty. It was the same battle, yet his opponent was completely different, stirring a sense of longing in Luo Hao. Little did he know that in the eyes of others, Luo Hao's fighting was of the same level; they simply couldn't see it… just as Wu Feng couldn't see his own current state…

Where Hades was buried, the earth cracked and the mountains trembled. Hades returned to the summit of the Five Old Peaks once more, his face filled with barely concealed rage.

"Human, you have truly angered me. Try the power of God!"

"Born from chaos, aging is your beginning, death is your destination, and you will eventually reach the end of the underworld. In the name of God, I command you to begin your journey here!"

As Hades chanted his incantation, a mysterious power descended upon Wu Feng. A sense of oppression arose in everyone's hearts, indescribable yet clearly visible. Everyone could feel one word: death.

Even the power of death posed no obstacle; the mysterious force entered his body without hindrance. Although it was invisible, everyone could feel the irresistible invasion.

"Feel the coming of death. Any living creature will go to the underworld. There is no way to escape." Hades said with a hint of pity after witnessing Wu Feng being attacked. Because of his trust in his power, the other party was already as good as dead in his eyes.

Even with a large amount of death power, it can only slow down the operation of the mysterious power, but cannot stop it. However, after hearing Hades' words, Wu Feng calmed down instantly and immediately withdrew the death power used to block the mysterious power.

The mysterious power swirled around his body before gradually fading and disappearing. Perhaps he had been dead for too long and had almost forgotten that he was a ghost...

One minute passed...

Two minutes passed...

Five minutes passed...

Hearing Hades' confident words and personally feeling the mysterious power, everyone thought something would happen, but five minutes passed and Wu Feng was still quietly floating there.

"Impossible! No living creature can escape death!" Five minutes had passed, long past the expiration of the power, yet the other party seemed completely unaffected, leaving Hades in disbelief.

Well, I can't exactly tell you I've been dead for almost two hundred years, can I? It would be a miracle if your words of power were even effective...

"Don't worry about why, let's just go back to mythology," Wu Feng said in a low voice. A coin in his hand flew up and transformed into a super railgun surrounded by purple lightning, flying towards Hades, the god of the underworld.

Perhaps he was too shocked to dodge, or perhaps his strongest technique had been broken and he had lost his will to fight, but the Railgun passed right through Hades' body and sent him back to mythology.

The plot, which was on the verge of collapse, finally saw its first god-slayer emerge.

The moment Hades was sent back to mythology, a series of notification sounds rang in my mind.
