The Mirror Of God
Episode 16: The Land of Tafos
Theo, Evan, Chloe, Baron and Derry have been training for 5 years, they are already much stronger than before. They were already able to lock up 4 Gods with their teamwork. But, it's just practice. The real challenge is no longer practice, but reality.
Athena advised them to be careful, because the one they were going to fight in the Underworld was much stronger than the one in the Upper World, because the one they were going to fight in the Underworld was much stronger, even they could meet Hendrick and Elliad who were much stronger when in the Underworld. All those in the Underworld could not die either, as they were already dead.
After giving Athena advice to let them go, a trip in the Underworld could take an infinite amount of time, as time in the Underworld simply did not work. They have to go out through the right door to go back to the present time, if they go wrong through the door they can go back to the past, even to the future, the worst they can be to a different dimension. The place was created by itself after the fight of Zeus and Theo, no one can explain why the place was created.
Ellada: The Gate of the Underworld
They were already ready to go towards the Underworld, Chloe immediately cast a teleportation magic spell and with a flash they were all in front of the gates of the Underworld.
In front of them was the Minotour Devil who would not attack before they attacked first and the Minotour Devil would also attack if they forced their way into the Underworld.
"We've arrived, we're back to seeing this stupid creature." Baron
"What should we do?" Ask Derry
"Fight him." Theo said
Theo immediately opened his palm and shot out a grain of light towards the Minotour Devil, the attack heavily hitting his body and causing the Minotour Devil to rage.
"You guys come back here! I told you you didn't deserve it." Minotour Devil
Then, the Minotour Devil took out a horn from within his body, but this time all of them were able to dodge the Minotour Devil's attack with great ease.
"Evan, now!" Shouts Chloe
Evan brandished his sword, then there was a fire coming out from his sword, shooting towards the Minotour Devil, the fire was sword-shaped and slashing the Minotour Devil until the Minotour Devil groaned in pain.
"Armrach!!"
Without waiting for a long time Chloe swung her magic wand towards the Minotour Devil, Chloe read a magic spell attack, Minotour Devil who was still in pain hit by a magic attack from Chloe.
"Epithesi." Chloe said
The Minotour Devil fell down and the Baron thrust his fist fiercely towards the Minotour Devil's face, the fist causing the ground around him to tremble.
Dhuarr!!
The baron struck again and again endlessly, blood spurting from the Minotour Devil's face.
Dhuarr!! The dhuar!! The dhuar!!!
The Minotour Devil didn't move anymore and they thought he was dead.
"He's dead." Theo
After that, when they wanted to enter the gate there were hundreds of spirits flying towards the Minotour Devil, the spirit soul touched the Minotour Devil and the Minotour Devil came back to life and suddenly attacked them, all were able to dodge except for the Baron, the Baron was hit by the attack right in his hand, the Baron's hand was severely injured. The baron screamed in pain.
"Yahoo!! It hurts!!" Shouting Baron
Chloe swung her wand at the Baron and teleported to Derry a short distance away from the Minotour Devil, Derry swiftly dabbing the medicine into the Baron's hand, the Baron's wounds closed again like nothing had happened.
"You're really growing." Theo said
The Minotour Devil went back silent and did not make any attacks, as he for the time being did not feel any threat, Theo drew closer towards the Minotour Devil and tried to speak to him.
"Hey bull." Theo said
"What do you want, boy? Why are you so forcing your way into the Underworld." The Minotour Devil
"I want to go in and kill your master Hades, and then save my friends who died because of you." Theo
"You kill me a thousand times, I'll come back to life." The Minotour Devil
"Well, I've seen you come back alive twice, so it's useless if I fight you with violence." Theo
"So give up your intentions, even if you defeat me, you won't be able to win against the God of Hades." The Minotour Devil
"Oh, haven't tried yet. I could actually crush your body into dust if I wanted to, but I wouldn't do that, because I know you can be useful later." Theo
"Not tried, right?" Minotour Devil mocked
Theo smiled, then Theo opened his hand. The Minotour Devil was at a loss as to what Theo was going to do, he did not feel threatened at all, but in his heart, he was really scared and wanted to attack Theo, but he could not attack Theo, but he could not attack Theo, because Theo didn't attack him.
"Look at this bull." Theo
A wisp of light appeared as big as an apple on Theo's palm, and the apple moved in a twist on Theo's hand.
"What do you want to do?" Tanya Minotour Devil's
"Your feet are good." Theo
The wisp of light suddenly led to the foot of the Minotour Devil, then miraculously the foot of the Minotour Devil disappeared without a trace, the Minotour Devil fell down, without feeling any pain at all.
"What are you doing to my feet!" Shouted Minotour Devil
"Why didn't you attack me? Oh, I know. You will not attack if you do not feel the threat, I am not a threat at all and my attack is not a threat to you, this attack I call "Silapidated" which means, I mean, you won't feel any pain at all when I kill you, so you don't feel threatened." Theo long word
The Minotour Devil was so afraid of the power that Theo had, he had never seen a god who carried out such a terrible attack, Zeus when attacking alone, the Minotour Devil still felt a threat, so the Minotour Devil could not be seen, but Theo was really cold when attacking, colder than ice.
"You again?" Ask Theo
"Enough! Free you kill me! I'll come back to life!" Shouted Minotour Devil
"Well, but if I destroy parts of your body one by one without killing you, you still can't do anything, after your feet, maybe your horns." Theo
"Don't! Please don't!" Shouted Minotour Devil
All who were there were stunned by the power that Theo had, even after 5 years of training, Theo remained on a different level than them. Evan who saw it also felt weak, he felt that there was nothing in front of Theo.
"I'm gonna start crushing you, inch by inch." Theo
Theo then pulled out a "Silap" and fired at the horn of the Minotour Devil, until the horn of the Minotour Devil was gone, the Minotour Devil cried out very loudly, even though he did not feel any pain, but Theo's attack was really frightening.
"Yeah!! No, please don't!!" Shouted Minotour Devil
"Your hand." Theo said
The "Silent" attack again attacked, this time both Minotour Devil hands were targeted and both Minotour Devil hands disappeared.
"You've been like a deformed bull." Theo
"Have you? Let's go in." Chloe said
Then, Theo patted the head of the Minotour Devil whose horns had already disappeared, the power of the Minotour Devil emerged from his horns, if his horns were lost he could no longer bring out power.
"Take care of this gate, for one of us will take the place of your master Hades." Theo
"You don't know the true power of God Hades and what's inside there, you'll be killed when you enter the gates of the Underworld."
Theo smiled, then Theo and his friends entered the gates of the Underworld, after defeating the Minotour Devil.
The gate opened, they saw something that they had never imagined at all, the Underworld was really like the Upper World, it had a blood red sky, a blood red sea, a blood red sea, and the ground is pitch black. But, the terrible air they had already felt when they had just stepped into the Underworld.
"So this?" Ask Baron
"I never imagined it, how horrible it was."
Chloe was just silent, she felt familiar with the atmosphere here, because she had indeed entered the Underworld when she died.
Before they went any further there was a pitch-black spirit with an arrow in his hand approaching towards them.
"Hi wanderer, welcome to the Underworld." Said the spirit
"Who are you?" Ask Theo
"I'm Ker." Said
"So, her?" Ask Theo towards Chloe
Chloe nodded, she herself never expected to see the form of Ker in the Underworld.
"She's one of the Goddesses of Death, it turns out that she's been living in the Underworld." Chloe said
"It seems you know me, I feel the air of life from you, so your purpose here is to die, right?" Ask Ker
"No, my goal here is to take Hades' life." Theo
Ker laughed so hard, his laughter was truly terrible, the body of every person who heard it felt like it was on the verge of death.
"Khikhikhi, sir,.... You are a funny wanderer." Ker
"So, can I kill him?" Ask Theo
"Don't Theo, we better walk alone." Chloe said
"I won't follow you, we'll find our own way, thanks for your offer."
"Well wanderers, welcome to the Underworld, I hope you can stay here forever, khikhikhikhi.." Ker Say
Then he flew away.
"Laughter, I feel like death is just hearing her laugh." Said Evan
"This place is full of death, no living soul is here." Theo said
"Let's continue the journey."
The Underworld: The Land of Tafos
They continued on their way up the only available path in the Underworld, right and left of them there was only a red sea surrounding. Within hours they saw a land in the Underworld.
"I didn't see it wrong? That's country?" Ask Baron
"Looks." Chloe said
They're on their way to the country. Then, they saw that there were many humans conversing and cooperating like the Upper World, there was absolutely no difference. The baron stopped by a bar in the country and ordered drinks from the bar, others traveled the country to other places.
"Hey Bartender, bring me the best drink in the country." Baron
The bartender brought a glass of pus and gave it to the Baron.
"This is sir, the best drink in the country." The Bartender said
The baron saw that he wanted to vomit, and he left the drink, and the bartender called out to him.
"Sir, you have to pay." The Bartender said
The baron took out a few hundred Tera and gave it to the bartender, But, bearing it refused him.
"I've never seen this currency, please master I just want you to pay for your ordered drinks."
"Pay with what?" Ask Baron
"Your ear." The Bartender said
"You crazy? My ears?"
"That's a reasonable price sir, we used to pay by ear." The Bartender said
"I just touched it yet and you said I had to pay for it?" Ask Baron
"Please, I don't want to make a fuss here sir, I'm just asking you to pay for it." The Bartender said
The baron was very upset and was intending to attack the Bartender, but suddenly there was a man who stopped the Baron.
"Enough, I'll pay for it." Said the man
Then, the man took out a sword from his waist and cut off his ear, then gave it to the Bartender. After which, he drank the pus that the Bartender gave him.
"What's your name?" Ask the guy
"Borton." Said
"My name is Kevin, you seem like a newborn yes, it's natural for a newborn person still confused by the atmosphere of this place." Said Kevin
"Born? You mean Dead?" Ask Baron
All of them turned to the Baron, as the Baron had just said "Dead", Kevin looked panicked and led Baron out of the bar.
"Let's get out, I have something to talk to you about." Said Kevin
The baron complies and follows Kevin out of the bar, then Kevin and Baron sit in what looks like a garden, but with truly terrible vegetation.
"I don't understand, why would you dare to say that word, if the God of Hades heard it, he would punish you." Said Kevin
"You mean dead?" Ask Baron
"Yes yes, just don't say that word anymore."
"Death, die, die, die, die, die." Said the Baron over and over again."
"You're not sane! It's not a funny thing!" Shouts Kevin
"Why, you're so scared of that stupid Hades!" Shouting Baron
Fortunately, the surrounding area was quiet and no one heard Baron's words.
"You're not sane, really.. I don't want to see you again, may you not be punished by the God of Hades for being stupid." Said Kevin
Kevin leaves, but he is stopped by Theo.
"Sit here." Theo
"Who are you!?" Kevin was upset
Theo looked at Kevin sharply, Kevin was so scared by Theo's gaze, he finally sat down and obeyed Theo said.
"We're all still alive, do you want life back?" Ask Theo
"We are alive too! Who says we don't all live here!" Shouts Kevin
"She doesn't seem to understand." Theo
Then, Chloe appears and reveals herself.
"You right?" Kevin was shocked to see Chloe
"You know me?" Ask Chloe
"You're the leader of this town, and then there's a woman who kidnapped you and you never come back." Said Kevin
Chloe had absolutely no idea what Kevin and everyone she met in the country said, because everyone who sees Chloe will be surprised and say that she was the leader of the country before. But, he was trying to understand, it might just be his life when he was in the Underworld.
"I'm back, so will you help your leader first?" Ask Chloe
"Whatever it is, as long as I'm given a good sword." Said Kevin
"Where is your home, who is the leader of this country now?" Ask Chloe
"The leader is now Hendrick, he's very strong, we can't fight him."
"Hendrick? Hendrick Sky?" Theo asked in shock
"Yes, his name is similar to mine, my name is Kevin Sky." Said Kevin
"So, you...." Theo suddenly stopped
"So, Theo's father is dead." Evan whispered
"Yes, then we should go see Hendrick." Theo
"Yes, but we have to be careful, he could be our enemy now."
"I understand." Theo
All that was there was actually shocked, because the leader of the country was Hendrick.
"How long has he been leading?" Ask Chloe
"Thousands of Years, you fought him and he lost, then you were kidnapped and he ended up in the leader's seat, but he's very evil, very evil, very evil." Kevin said over and over again
"What's he doing?" Ask Derry who was silent
"He was happy to take our tongue tax, whereas we all know that the tongue grows within 1 month if it is cut, while the ears are only 3 hours, he should have taken ear tax only, he said, like you, Miss Chloe." Said Kevin
"We're heading to your house first, there's a lot I want to ask you about." Theo
They headed to Kevin's house and on Theo's way asked Kevin.
"What is the name of this country?" Ask Theo
"Taphus." Said Kevin
Their first task is to save Hendrick and bring Hendrick back to life.
