Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~ Vol. 9 - Chapter 490 - Battle with Megadeth (3)

The Arbiter God Pharnes appeared in the arena.

Clack clack

Everyone looked at her as she approached Kurena and Haku.

"Phar, I was waiting for you!"

'It's Phar!'

Kurena and Haku looked happy to see her.

'Wh-why is the Arbiter God here… Only the Gatekeeper, Dragon, and Rider should be here.'

gadeth looked shocked, she was not supposed to be able to enter there.

'I also built and oversaw this location once. Things haven't changed a lot, so I decided to join.'

The Arbiter God was familiar with the Gates of Trials, so she was able to get in there.

'B-but that doesn't an…'

'I ca here of my own will. If this violates Desperado's rules then I'll leave.'

'...'

The Arbiter God stared intently at gadeth, who remained silent.

'Then, do you mind finishing what you were saying about Desperado? Was it sothing about letting soone with promise alive perhaps?'

The Arbiter God ntioned what gadeth was talking about earlier, and everyone froze.

She was a God that judged other Gods.

'Err, no…I an… I just have a pact with the God of Space and Ti…'

"I see. Gods are entities that govern over principles, so I believe they need to judge themselves as well. But if it was part of a pact then it's alright, not to ntion…"

"What is it?"

'I'm rely a demigod now. I don't really have the power left to judge Gods.'

Pharnes was no longer a Higher God.

'I see… Wait, in that case…'

'Don't worry about that. I'm here to fight alongside Kurena.'

"Ohh!!"

'Gyau!'

'Wha-?! Wait!! Why is a God joining the fight? That's not how the Gates of Trials work.'

'That's part of a pact I made. I'll help Kurena to fulfill my pact with Allen.'

'I was never told about such a pact. This is all a bit too sudden.'

gadeth was starting to get flustered, but then froze in place.

"Oh? He's stunned."

'Gyau.'

'He's probably checking in with Desperado. But don't worry, I've already helped a Spirit King and Sacred Beast in the past. The Gates of Trials aren't supposed to be overco with power alone.'

"Oh oh, I see."

'You're incredible Mama!'

Kurena had long stopped understanding the conversation, but Haku was impressed by the way she rubbed her chin and nodded.

The Arbiter God was confident this would work, as she had joined fights many tis in the past.

Eventually gadeth's body began moving again.

'...He said you may join the fight, since you've lost most of your divine power. But I need to confirm the details of the pact you ford.'

Pharnes had to reveal the pact she made with Allen to participate.

'Sure. I'll tell you the conditions.'

Pharnes detailed the pact she ford with Allen.

[The pact with Allen]

-3 tis more hay daily

-10 Mormo fruits daily

-The pact will last for as long as Allen's Army exists

-As long as those three conditions are t, Pharnes will fight against a Gatekeeper once

-Other fights will require a new pact

'That's a ridiculous pact… But a valid one.'

gadeth's body froze again as he relayed the information to Desperado, before moving again.

'What did he say?'

'He said you may fight. Even if that ans your existence ends under my full power.'

'Thank you. This also counts as a pact, so let's uphold it.'

Saying that, Pharnes went to Kurena to stand with her against gadeth.

"Thank you Phar."

'Don't thank yet. I believe we only have a 50% chance together.'

"Okay okay. We need a plan too though."

'That's true.'

The fight was resuming, so gadeth went into Mode Claw.

'This is the first ti this has happened, but if I defeat the Arbiter God I might beco a God myself.'

He mumbled sothing, showing his ambitions, before sending his claws ahead again.

"I'll ride on Phar, so you use your fire from behind us Haku."

'Okay!'

Things looked different from how they were before Pharnes appeared.

While Haku retreated more, the claws closed in on Kurena, moving freely in the air.

"Deep Impact!!"

'Nghah?!'

Kurena and Pharnes dashed ahead, breaking gadeth's arm.

-Stats, short version

[Na] Kurena

[Age] 16

[Talent] Dragoon General

[Blessings] Arbiter God (dium)

[Level] 99

[Strength] 8192 7200 12000 13000 (Blessing)

[Mana] 4947 3600 12000 8000 (Blessing)

[Attack] 11257 7200 12000 13000 (Blessing)

[Endurance] 7218 7200 1200 8000 (Blessing)

[Agility] 7171 7682 12000 13000 (Blessing)

[Intelligence] 4696 3600 12000 8000 (Blessing)

[Luck] 5175 3600 12000 8000 (Blessing)

Kurena's stats increased by riding Pharnes.

They used the Skill [Energy Dash] too, which Allen renad to Deep Impact.

They had raised its Skill Level in the S Rank Dungeon..

On top of that, Kurena's enhanced power also allowed her to shatter one of the enormous claws.

Pharnes had requested more fruits and hay in exchange for that training and the help.

"Alright, now for the other claws."

'Okay! Grahhhhh!!'

Haku's will to fight had returned, and he used his Hellfire Breath.

Together with Kurena they shattered the other set of claws.

"Alright! Now the main body!!"

'Woah, that's too close. Mode Scale!!'

gadeth quickly changed forms, just barely managing to protect his main body.

"Uryahhhh!!"

'Grahhhhhhh!!'

Haku and Kurena continued attacking gadeth, but could not do as much damage.

They also knew that gadeth could regenerate all the damage he took in that form.

'That was close, but now I'm back in the ga. I know you have a lot of healing items, but can your Skills keep up?'

gadeth still felt confident, grinning as he looked at the Arbiter God.

He knew he could obtain sothing from the fight.

Kurena's Skill [Limit Break]'s duration was proportional to the Mana she used.

It would last for a ti longer, but its cooldown was 1 day.

'I see why we need a proper plan to win.'

Not even Deep Impact could do much damage to gadeth now.

"Why isn't he in that form all the ti? He would be invincible."

Kurena felt like there had to be a reason gadeth kept changing forms.

Even he said he wanted a long fight, so staying in Mode Scale would be enough.

'Ohh, you noticed sothing good, Kurena. Maybe there's a ti limit to each form.'

Pharnes felt like there was a weakness in gadeth's fighting style.

'Gyau! You're incredible Mama!'

Haku was pleased hearing Kurena be praised by Pharnes.

"That's why I think we should make him land here and then whisper whisper."

Kurena spoke in a low voice to Haku and Pharnes, her anklet glowing when she said land.

'What are you mumbling about?'

"Heheheh, I'm just saying your attacks are too simply if you just roll around!"

'That's interesting!'

gadeth knew they were planning sothing, carefully dodging his attacks.

An hour passed and he went to Mode Fang.

Everyone stood back to avoid the ti-freezing breath.

Two hours passed like that, gadeth constantly changing from Claw to Scale to Fang to Claw to Scale to Fang…and so on.

Kurena checked her watch to asure the timings of each change.

'Why don't you give up already? Mode Claw.'

gadeth did not relent no matter how much ti passed, and entered Mode Claw to attack.

"...Uryahhhh!!"

Kurena watched where gadeth stood and activated [True Supre Sword].

This ti not on the claws, but on his main body.

Haku and Pharnes looked alert then, that Skill was Kurena's signal.

'Oh, so you realized that attacking the claws won't do anything?'

Every ti the claws were destroyed gadeth went to Mode Scale and regenerated them.

So now Kurena kept attacking his main body, using more Skills like [True Phoenix Blast].

'That's a good idea, but don't forget my claws hurt a lot.'

gadeth grinned, such a simple plan would not beat him.

'Gyau?! It hurts!!'

'Hmm.'

Kurena ignored the claws, and they started attacking Haku and Pharnes.

Her Heaven's Blessings could heal that damage, but the attacks would not stop.

'Well, nice try but your plan wasn't good enough. Sorry to do this just when you managed to do so much damage.'

gadeth was about to go into Mode Scale again. |

Kurena's eyes were fixated on her watch for that mont.

"Now! Teleport!!"

"Huh?"

Kurena and the Arbiter God vanished.

'Gyau!!'

Haku swung his orichalcum claws into gadeth's sides.

Kurena and the Arbiter God appeared in front of gadeth.

She had marked that location as a teleport location for her anklet earlier.

That anklet had the sa function as Basque's.

Now that they were there, Kurena used her best Skill.

"Deep Impact!!!"

The Arbiter God's muscles tightened and her horns began to glow.

Together with Kurena, they charged at gadeth's stomach.

gadeth debated between changing forms or bringing back his claws, but Kurena was too fast to let him choose.

'Hgyapah?!'

The hit sent gadeth flying far into the air.
