Me, Hydra

I, Hydra, chapter 18.

Slowly walking into the field, Thor still felt a little pushed up against his feet despite his shoes. Looking down, a tooth landed in the sand, and there was no telling which of the unlucky ones it was.

The large square of the prototype was surrounded by untold numbers of spectators, and the very few gamblers were still there shouting at Tor to crush him. This made Thor feel a little different. No one in Asgard would dare say that.

Just then, the iron fence across from Thor had gone up. A three meter tall minotaur came into view. It made Thor squint his eyes.

"A Minotaur?..."

Taking one look at the thick fur on Mirotaenos, Thor began to wonder if the blunt sword in his hand could do any damage at all.

Snapping his nose, Mirotaenos looked at Thor before him.

"I'm not quite sure why you want me to initiate a challenge, but I will show no mercy for the sake of my dreams!"

"Of course! I'm fighting for my ideals too!"

Nodding his head, Mirotaunos' eyes were instantly filled with scarlet, and his original height of three meters rose four meters above the ground. Not only were his eyes filled with scarlet, but even the muscles of his skin had been stained with black and red.

Originally, Tor was puzzled as to why a three-person holding siege battering ram was erected on the side of the field, but Tor soon understood.

He put his fingers into the wood and carried the huge siege timber on his shoulders. Mirotainos' jagged teeth continued to flow with sticky saliva that dripped down the fluff of his chin onto the sand.

"Moo!!"

Like a siege vehicle controlled by ten men, Mirotaunos rushed towards the Tor in front of him without fear.

Let alone a human, even if what was in front of him was a stone wall, the current Mirotaunos could easily smash it.

........

Volume 1: Text-24.Ammazon.

"Mirotaunos!!!"

As he said that, the siege battering wood in Mirotaunos's hand swung out in a graceful arc and sliced past Tor's side.

Just the strong wind from the sticky band of the siege battering wood caused Tor to feel a sharp pain.

But now Tor had no time to point at something insignificant, and with a concentrated effort, Tor deftly rolled to the back of the Mirotaunos. Leaping high, the blunt sword in Thor's hand was good enough to slap at the back of Mirotaenos' head.

It wasn't because Thor had good intentions, but because the blunt sword was already covered in rust, not to mention the beasts, it would be hard to even cut a piece of wood. Relying on the shock might have knocked the big guy unconscious.

But Tor had underestimated Mirotaunos' reflexes and overestimated his own physical strength. Although Tor was quick enough, Mirotaunos' reaction was even quicker, and the rusty blunt sword was gripped by Mirotaunos' teeth, then. In a crunching sound, the blunt sword turned into a pile of broken metal.

"War Trample!!!"

As he said that, Mirotaunos' fiercely lifted his front hooves, and the thick earth element instantly wrapped around Mirotaunos' sturdy thighs. It then fell heavily.

"Empty air-"

The ground instantly burst open under the violent earth element, and it was too late to dodge such a widespread attack, and Thor had to stand his round shield in front of him to barely block it.

"By the way, I've always had a question..."

"Well?"

Looking at the Minotaur in front of him, whose muscles were even scarlet, Thor showed a puzzled expression.

"Why did you choose to use those weapons that no one chose? You can bring your own weapons if you're a challenger, right?"

"...It's my first time here, I don't know much about it..."

Upon hearing that, Mirotaunos, who was in a state of berserkness, looked at Thor in front of him.

"That's a pity. There's only one way to end a match in the gladiatorial arena, and that's if one of the parties is completely unconscious or dead. I will have no mercy on you, and I will get five hundred silver coins for winning that. I'll be one step closer to my dream! Don't worry Junior, I'll try to be merciful!!!"

As he said that, Mirotaunos once again rushed towards Thor in front of him.

The speed was so fast that Thor had no time to dodge.

"Touch--"

The shield was instantly knocked apart and Tor was knocked far off the edge of the stone wall by the force of the impact.

It was clear that he was merely trying to open his eyes, but Thor somehow felt a weight hanging from his eyelids.

Misty Thor saw Mirotaunos walking towards him, which caused Thor to be somewhat disillusioned....

"Is it... without divine power. Is this all I can do..."

Thinking so, a strong sense of reluctance rose from Thor's heart.

What would he do if it were his father?

Thinking so, a thunderbolt fiercely escaped from Tor's body, and his entire body was wrapped in plasma. The Lunar Rune used to seal the divine power violently made a great deal of divine power, sealing the divine power pouring out of Tor's body once more.

But even so, the overflowing divine power had already repaired Tor's broken flesh.

Tor knew that relying on his own strength was impossible to destroy even the slightest bit of his father's seal, and I'm afraid that the divine power that could emerge to restore his injuries was intentional on his father's part....

Opening his eyes, a square hammer with a short handle instantly appeared in Thor's hand. Quaint and atmospheric. Only a simple pattern was engraved on the edge, but everyone present could feel the stirring and vast momentum that wrapped around the hammer.

"Father... I get it!"

So thinking, Thor stood back up and looked at the Mirotaunos before him, his mouth agape.

"Long live Asgard!"

At the news, Mirotaunos also grinned, then turned and took out a three-meter long, two-person, vermillion red giant wood from the bars as Tor's surprised eyes rushed at it.

The cutouts at the ends of the wood bore the symbol of the Hydra, and the top of the giant wood was inscribed with characters familiar to Thor, the Rune of Lune.

"That's my weapon, Thor. You may call him a totem pole, the runes on it were carved by Lord Hydra's own hand. These runes stand for Crush, Oppression, and Power respectively. Since you've already taken out your own weapon, I won't treat you badly. Mirotaunos!!!"

Shouting his name, Mirotaunos held the vermillion totem pole in his hand and once again rushed towards Thor, who also held the hammer in his hand and rushed towards the Minotaur before him, and, on the other side, Greece, the area controlled by Mount Olympus.

For various reasons, Hercules finally agreed to the trials given to him by the gods.

Hippolyta's belt.10, bring back the cattle of the giant Gertrude.11, pluck the golden apple of Hesperides.12, bring back the vicious dog Cerberus from hell.

The others were fine, but the task of killing the Sphinx caught Hydra's attention.

According to the original myth, the second task should have been to kill himself, but I didn't realize that because of himself it was now the Sphinx....

"Nemean fierce lions, sphinxes, carved-earberos..."

Mumbling lowly, Hydra narrowed her eyes, the first two were fine, but the last one should be guarding the gates of hell if she remembered correctly... I wonder if that dear brother of hers had worn out his temperament during the long watch.

Aside from the three cyborgs, the one that got the most attention from Hydra was that queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta.
