Chapter 75: Helios's Plan!

Project: INFERNO


(Six minutes already goes by which Gaito and Helios was battling with aggressiveness. Gaito takes a direct hit to the stomach from Helios which did not stun him but was then pushed back by a vicious palm strike to the stomach. He continued to stand on his feet but was then becoming more and more resistant to Gaito's physical attacks.)
"Helios(Thinking): His attacks are like runaway jets at supersonic speeds...! Hmph, no matter. I just have to keep him in the dark..."
"Gaito: Keep me in the dark from what?"
"Helios(Aloud): DAMN IT..! I see you can read minds... Hmph, if that's the case, then I may as well let you find out soon!"
"Gaito: You really like pissing me off don't you..? I'm not trying to be cocky, but I can see every last move you do Helios. Its useless to even try resisting against me."
"Helios: We'll see about that..!"
(Helios then generated sabers of light across his hands and started firing countless light beams at Gaito. Then with slight movement, Gaito was sliding across the field without any effort of trying. Gaito then punched a beam back which stung his hand but shot back into Helios's body.)

"Gaito(Thinking): It stung... That actually stung a bit.. Am I getting weaker..? No. That's not it.."
"Helios: You still manage to kick back elemental attacks?! Damn you're a stubborn bastard..!"
"Gaito(Aloud): Tch, if you're wanting to quit. The exit is right there."
"Helios: I told you before, YOU'RE GETTING COCKY!"
"Gaito: The only thing "cocky" here is you calling yourself "The Strongest God." If you're truly the strongest, how come you haven't defeated me yet?"
(Helios then scoffed and continued to fight Gaito, his body beginning to become even more resistant to Gaito's physical attacks. Helios then took a direct gut punch from Gaito's left arm but did not fall to his feet nor backed up. Gaito was then surprised as everyone else was just as in shock as Gaito was.)
"Onara: Hm? He didn't react that time."
"Athena: Helios took that direct hit from Gaito and he didn't even flinch!"
"Isabel: What's g-going on..?!"
"Gaito: Not bad... It seems you're no longer flinching at my attacks, I think I figured it out..."
(Gaito then drew his cutlass and landed a strong slash on Helios's arm, a streak of blood splashing out which Helios gripped his slashed arm and started battling Gaito with a sword created of his own light. The spectators continued to cheer for Gaito.)

"Helios: I HATE YOU...!"
"Gaito: Aww, I appreciate the support! But it's not needed when this fight ends!"
"Helios: Yes.. FOR YOU!"
(Helios's Light began to rot Gaito's cutlass which Gaito then threw away and pulled the Sword of Souls out of his pelt, the green crystal eye opening as it was awakened.)
"Choryrth: WAIT! IS THAT-"
"Onara: The Sword of Souls? How did he managed to get that..?"
"Shibuto: THE SWORD OF SOULS! THE MYTHOLOGY WAS TRUE AFTER ALL!"
"Isabel: Wait.. Mythology?"

"Goxius: The Sword Of Souls is also known as "Everlasting Immunity." This particular sword can only be found at the bottom of Infinite Hell and somehow for several decades within time, the sword was abandoned on Earth. There's a legendary rumor saying that if its master dies, the sword grants automatic resurrection from death. Such for instance, Gaito's own head being decapitated, the sword would force itself awake and resurrect its master."

"Isabel: So its that strong..?"
"Goxius: Yes. The Sword Of Souls has unlimited uses for resurrection. Which is why it was locked away during Hades's rule back in the time before humans ever existed. Also, the sword is also known as a soul collector. If Gaito can charge it to full power, he could release a devastatingly powerful attack that could even curse a god as strong as Helios."
"Isabel(Thinking): How many swords do you even have Gaito..?!"
"Gaito: HELIOS..! I CAN GO ALL GODDAMN DAY..!!! YOU CAN ROT AS MANY SWORD AS YOU LIKE, I HAVE OVER ONE THOUSAND IN HERE!!!"
"Helios(Thinking): He's out of his MIND..! No matter.. Its almost complete..."
"Gaito: What are you thinking of over there? Did you forget I can read minds or something?"
(Gaito then pulled out an angelic-styled claymore as he then bites down on the Sword of Souls. Helios then looked in the air and saw Gaito high in the air with the claymore.)
"Gaito(Mouthful): HAVE A TASTE OF THE ANGELMAKER!!"
(Helios then glared but delivered a smirk on his face.)

"Helios: HA!"
(Gaito then was blinded by a massive explosion of Helios's light which made him lose his guard and temporarily blinded everyone else watching. Gaito could not see but was blasted down to the coliseum floor and was being blasted by a massive ray of the sun's light which was burning his body the longer the light remained in collision.)
"AMBIENT BARRAGE!!"
(Helios then launched an endless count of light orbs which was attacking Gaito relentlessly. Everyone else was then losing their blindness and continued to watch the fight. Helios was laughing as Gaito has not came out of the debris.)
"HOW WAS THAT GAITO?! THE SUN STINGS DON'T IT?? THAT'S THE POWER WHEN YOU-"
"Gaito: Feeling any better now?"
(Helios was silent as he was standing on the coliseum's spectator balcony, only his clothes tattered from the barrage. Isabel and the others was surprised at Gaito's speed.)
"Its okay, I'm not a therapist but we can talk about your anger issues Helios. I'll save you a special seat in Infinite Hell for you."
"Helios: What..? How in the hell.. ARE YOU EVEN ALIVEEE?!?!?!?!"

(Gaito clenched his fist and went above twenty percent of his physical power and jumped off the balcony then appears in front of Helios which surprised him into sweating a bit. Gaito then pulled his arm back and forcefully punched Helios's chest which exploded a powerful gust of wind and shook the entire coliseum and created debris. Gaito then backed away to see the damage but was more surprised to see Helios not taking any damage from the punch.)

"Gaito: Well...!"
"Kazuya: WHAT?! THERE'S NO WAY..!!!"
"Shibuto: THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!"
"Isabel: HOW DID HE SURVIVE A PUNCH LIKE THAT AT POINT BLANK DISTANCE!!!"
"Helios: Its finally done... I've perfected ABSORPTION!"
"Gaito: Is that right?"
"Helios: Your physical attacks are now useless against me Gaito! You and those swords of yours won't even stand a chance with my absorption perfected!"
"Gaito: After this, you still think I'm cocky? Wow, how heavily ironic..."
