In the LN, Godou in his secund fight with Melqart begins with the Warrier and was not able to finish him av with it. Melqart had too much power and authorityso Godou was not able to hit him with it. But instead, it was with the White Stallion he ended the fight. But as you can see, Godesu saves it. The Warrior is powerful, so many gods would do anything to not get hit by a power that cut through divinity.
Jag kan inte minnas om det är cannom eller om jag lästa det i en fanfic, men jag hörde att många heros och demigods är gudar från andra myter. Som Perseus var Mithras, och Lancelot är, vänta, är det en spolar? Det är det för mig som har läst det mesta Campione fanfic på den här sidan.
Men iden är, som hur Melqart är Beelzebub, han är också Hercules. Jag är förvånad att the LN inte använde mer av det, så jag gör det här, hehe.
We are sitting in the car. I'm pretty sure something magical is happening right now because we haven't been blown away from the road yet. I looked at Erica, she looked calm. But something tells me that she is not. I didn't dare to look at the man who looked like a gangster. Erica said that he was stronger than her and more experienced. I don't want to show my hand yet to him.
I stretched out a hand. Not my real hand, but something else. In my mind or soul. I didn't know. But it was something I did with my will. Within my reach, there was a shelf. Eleven things were on it. I couldn't see them, as if the room was covered in darkness. But there were a couple that I could still see.
The Gale. Which looked like a round stone plate like the one from the anime's OP. The White Stallion which was the same, the Youth and the Camel. The only one who was different was the Nemesis Sword. Which was… well a sword.
The rest I could not see but feel. When I feel for one that I want, like the Warrior, I know what direction it is, but the ones I can use glow so I can see and take them. But when I try to use The Warrior, it feels like I have an empty bucket in my head. Of course, I know what the problem is, but I just can't say the problem to Erica-
Wait, Erica kissed me when I killed Verethragna. With a lot of Information pop up in my head. So does she already know about it? I wish I could ask her but we have company.
Oh, and some authority glows sometimes. When I want to use one, it glows, but not only that. When I saw Zamparini for the first time, the White Stallion started to glow. I didn't want to use it but it glowed. Those that glow can be used. When I saw the big boat, I felt something unfamiliar glow. I think it was the Boar. I remember from the anime and the one volume of the light novel I read that Godou needs something big to use it against.
I looked at the storm outside the car's window. I plan to go at Melqart with everything I have. Then when that doesn't work run to Erica for power-up kissing, use The Warrior and defeat him. Why not use The Warrior first? Haven't you seen an anime? You NEVER start with one's strongest attack. You finish with it. If you start with it, the opponent will just use everything they have to neutralize it.
Lightning lit up the sky and a shadow of Melqart became visible. My body got excited, and I had a hard time concentrating on anything else. The clouds moved out of his way as he slowly descended from the sky.
I could hear Zempi-something and Erica saying something, but I didn't listen. And then, we finally arrived at the deepest part of the ruins. This was a small hill by the sea, with two pillars erected like deer or goat horns. Apart from these upright pillars, there were no other structures around us.
I don't know why but I had a feeling that it was connected with Melqart. I can think about it later after the kiss.
Melqart was directly above the two columns. The sky god Melqart was the manifestation of the violent winds, heavy rain, and burning lightning and thunder in the air. He makes his appearance in the center of the storm.
'Huhahaha! We finally meet again, young god-slayer!" He said a bit away from us. If I were a normal person, it would take more than five minutes to run there, but the wind is already so strong that the car is being blown away, and I know he wouldn't have a problem coming here and attacking us in a second.
"I can't take this anymore!". Erica screamed and looked at me. Seeing Melqart was her limit. "Do something! We can't take this so far!" She stuff a metal thing drow my collar which slide down to my bra. "Keep this on you under the fight at all costs, understand?".
"Is there something wrong?" Zempi-something asked. But I ignored him, he wasn't important. But Erica was. If she asks me , I can't ignore it.
With a smile I said. "As you command." And opened the door.
"Young Miss, what are you doing? Thats Melqart! A Heretic God!". So he went out after me.
I held out a hand, both my real and mental one. " I am the strongest bearer of victory! Obstructions, be dismissed from my path" .Both of my hands grabbed the sword. " Melqart!" I screamed. "I'm here for your challenge. I've started to like these islands and the people on them, so I can't let you sink them!"
"I see, even with six days left, but I guess you don't want to lose any of this territory."
"Wait! What's going on?!" Ask the mafia man. "Why do the maid speak to the god as if they were equals!?" The commander-in-chief of Panormus had gone after one of the personal maids of the Campione in an attempt to save her and became in a higher standing with the King. But all he did was put himself in danger. And like all mortals standing in front of the divide, he was blown away screaming.
"Kuku... In order to smash this land better, I will first drench it with a storm, then sink the city at dusk on the sixth day. At dusk on the sixth day, I shall sink the city that sits upon this land that once belonged to me. That is what I am talking about. And on the first day. Today will be this place. Here to the west lies another city, it shall be visited on the second day. The third day shall be that island - the one where I encountered Verethragna. The fourth day and henceforth. That is what I have decided. Over the next six days, I will cast divine punishment upon these humans and this land first."
"I understand. The next day is Palermo. Well, I have to say that you know how to give someone a reason to fight."
"Should you have any objections, use force to deter the divine king! Come, it is now time for battle. Show me what an immature god-slayer can do!" He shouted, wind and lightning behind him. "But I most ask. Why are you en the dress of a servant?"
"Oh, I was hiding through being dressed up as a maid. After all, who would believe that a King would willingly dress up as a servant girl." I explained. A what came from a voice behind me, but when I checked where the voice was coming from, there was no one there.
I quickly looked towards Melqart as the wind gained strength and pillars fell. Lightning came at me, and unlike the fight against Verethragna, it was much faster and I couldn't avoid it. Or I thought so. A round stone slab with the image of a bird light up in my head. I grabbed it and the world slowed down.
The Raptor. That's what I just used. I don't know if I just learned it now or if I remembered it from before. The realization was too natural for me to know at the moment. But it was that I could skip the chant if a condition is met. That is an attack is used against me that exceeds normal parameters. What are the normal parameters? I do not know. But lightning counts.
The world had slowed down and I was able to avoid the lightning. Additionally, I moved further than I meant to. I avoided one more lightning strike and ones again I got further away than I meant. I took a step and I was where I should have been in five steps.
I realized in the middle of the storm what kind of super speed this is. Differently from the Flash, I don't have to worry about my clothes catching fire or air friction. I bend space and time to move from A to point B in a shorter time. One step moves like five steps, and I can take five steps in the same amount of time I can take one. No, it's more than five. Ten? Twenty? I don't know, but everything is slow and I feel like I'm playing a game where the control is oversensitive.
Oh, wasn't there a problem with the Raptor? Yes, something about a heart attack. I'll probably will switch authorities soon.
"If lightning alone cannot hit, then it is time for my weapons to make an entrance. Chaser and Driver, come forth! O Yagrush! O Ayamur! Go and strike down the god-slayer!" Apparently, I was a little slow because Melqart was the one who adapted first. Flying in the sky were the magic clubs, Yagrush and Ayamur. The club Yagrush appeared out of empty space while the second club Ayamur manifested out of the thunderclouds.
Ok, now it's time to attack. I hadn't even checked out my sword yet. It was a short sword with a texture of feathers on the side of the blade and the handguard was in the forms of wings. It felt light, so I needed something stronger.
I ran towards Melqart. He threw a club and it flew like lightning but with the speed of the Raptor. I jumped up in the air, and just as earlier, I flew higher up than I normally would. It feels like I weigh nothing. I landed on the club and jumped off them towards Melqart, who was prepared for it.
Melqart swung down the other club, but it reminded me of something. A game that I played a little too young, but it was so fun and memeabul. Instead of avoiding it, I started saying a chant. " As the one who holds all victory in my hands, I am the strongest. Man and devil—all enemies, all who harbor enmity will be vanquished. Hence I shall smash through all enemies in my way!" Before the club crushed me, my sword began to glow and I swing it towards the attack.
A golden light was visible before the club met its target. Earth and dust came up in the air before they were blown away by the storm, but the girl was not crushed under it.
I looked towards the big and I mean big warhammer in the shape of a bull head. It was big enough so that I could probably take cover behind it like a shield from the lightning. But it was something that I really wanted to do right now.
I grabbed with one hand on the club to get a grip on it, a hand and a warhammer pressing against each other. I started to pull it to the left while shouting: "RULES OF NATURE!" I could hear a cry of surprise from Melqart as he was lifted off the ground and I spun him around me.
The Bull needs a target, but it gives me the strength to match it. There is nothing that I cannot lift or no one stronger than me. With this power, I can even match Goku in strength. But I will stil lose in speed and technique. And the Raptor and Camel are not on the same level as him. They can be activated at any time, but they have a limit.
I was about to throw Melqart when he let go of his club and flew away. Unlike a metal gear, his weapon and arm are not the same thing, so he could just let go of it.
Caught flat-footed (Literally) and still spinning, I dropped the club and threw the bull warhammer at Melqart. He was able to fly, but just as he stopped in the air from the early throw, the warhammer hit his stomach and he continued to fall in the same direction. He fell on a moun-nope, it's a crater now. I just inverted that mountain.
I was surprised and taken aback by my strength, or Melqart's strength. But it wasn't over yet, I started running towards the god in the pit in a... normal speed? I don't feel so strong anymore. A few seconds earlier, it felt like I could smash a castle with a punch in one fell swoop, but now I'm weak.
Did the Bull deactivate? No, I can feel it glowing in my mind. It is something else.
"What is this?" As I ran towards Melqart I saw him lying in the crater I made, he was holding something with both hands on his chest. And I knew what it was. "Why can't I lift this hammer? I'm Melqart! I will not be held down by a young girl's weapon!" But all he could do was barely lift it above his chest.
Even if I ran with everything I have, I won't make it in time. And he has my weapon! When I switch between authorities, it's the sword… that change shape… I held a arm out towards my mental image of the White Stallion and words came to my lips.
"Come to me, for the victory! Immortal Sun, lend me a quick, shining steed. Fire of the Sun that dispels the dark, may it engulf you." The warhammer that Melqart was holding with all his strength suddenly lit up, the last thing he saw before everything turned white was a horse in his hands that turned to ashes.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The mountain that became a large crater and now a lava pit was in front of me. Stone and everything else were lava. Everything except the target. Melqart has been injured, his white beard was now black, and his crown along with other parts of his armor was gone. But what was the biggest change was that his hands were now gone.
"Well done. I couldn't guess that the sword was a sun. Yes, he had always been a shapeshifter, so it stands to reason that your weapon could do that. I admit, I misread you. You are not a brave little warrior. No, you're a trickster. As you said when we first met, you intended to use me. I laughed at that because it was unthinkable for a human being to admit it, but that's what you did. You used me to become a god killer, and I should have known that it should not be that easy to fight you." The wind began to spin around him as I could feel the magical power he was emitting. "You, I have to adapt to such an opponent! O dead, spirits and drown. I am the ruler of-"
That is not good. I'm still some distance away, without a weapon. I panicked and prepared myself for using the Gale, but a voice stopped me.
(Let me take him! I'm going to crush him for you, you don't even have to be there)
Normally I wouldn't trust a voice in my head, but I could feel the Boar glowing. I said the chant so fast I could. "For one cannot come near you with ease! Punish him for breaking the contract! Destroy Everything, including the stage!"
Where Melqart was standing, the ground broke and a big black monster came straight up and tackled the god in the middle of the chant. I just broke the second rule of anime. Interrupted an opponent while they are saying an attack name or in incantation. With the first one being, attacking while the opponent power-up or transform. I'm looking at you Android 17.
I felt something too. I had stopped when I used White Stallion, but when I started running again, I was faster. I had a stupid idea and ran into an old ruin. I crash through it as if it were made of paper. But my uniform was damaged.
I think I'm starting to understand. The Boar is a force that is independent. But I need a hand on the Bull's warhammer. It looks like I need to hold the Nemesis Sword to use the some authority.
(It looks like you're beginning to understand your powers master.) Said the Boar while wrestling with Melqart.
"Do you think you can best me! When I was in Greek I wrestled with much worse monsters. I was even adopted by Zeus and given the name Hercules."
" WAIT WHAT!" I stopped in shock. Did he just say that he is Hercules? The second most well-known hero in history! I knew Melqart was a big deal, but this is unbelievable. And I mean it, I refuse to believe it.
But even if I refuse to believe it, I couldn't ignore that he's currently lifting up the Boar and throwing him away. AND HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY HANDS! He did that with his stumps!
"O dead, spirits and the drown. I am the ruler of the underworld. Come at my command and follow your lord, your King! Melqart!" He finished the chant and the ground began to shake. If I had asked Erica about using the Warrior from the beginning, maybe I would have been prepared for this, but I'm not. Zombies, skeletons, and spirits. They rose around Melqart. No, out of the ground, even around me.
A skeleton in armor rose from the ground beside me and swung a rusty sword toward me, but I tackled him. Before I died, I had time to read the first Volume of the Light Novell. With my dyslexia, it took time to read it, so that was as far as I had gotten before I died. But I read the part when Godou broke the colosseum in his fight against Erica.
This was because even though the Boar is not used against Erica, it gives him increased speed, defense, and strength, but it can only be used in a direct charge. Once again, I don't know if I remember something from my previous life or if it's something I just know. Because there are things that I just know when it comes to my authority.
I ran towards the fight against the Boar and Melqart. The Boar had rush back and attacked the god. Melqart had called his clubs, but couldn't hold them. But they could fly around on their own. They wasn't as powerful, but they distracted the Boar while he hit the Divine Beast with his stumps, which were powerful. Oh, now the Boar is on fire.
I jumped to the side when a spirit attacked me. I didn't know what it would do to me, and I didn't want to know. I went through the army of the dead as if I were the Juggernaut. Swords, arrows, and bones broke on my body. I was met by a wall made of the dead of all types, but then the Boar roar which created a shockwave that scattered the clouds in the sky and let the sun's rays rain down on us.
It didn't affect me, but it just got empty. No dead, trees or grass. The mountain and the forest around it are gone now from all the damage that we have done. And it will surely be more, I thought as I ran towards the fight that my Boar is starting to lose.
Erica Blandelli Pov
I watched in amazement how Godesu avoided the lightning. I could only get a good look at her when she was standing still. During the rest of the time, it looked like Melqart was attacking at random. She looked so elegant, not too far from Lily's fighting style. Then came Yagarrish and Ayyamarri.
I have given her Cuore di Leone. It was not in the normal form, but a metal plate. If I had time, I would have given it a more elegant shape, but I panicked. Being in the role of a Campione is something that has eaten me up from the inside. When Melqart and Verethragna were fighting, I was able to hold myself together, but when Melqart stood alone in front of me, I broke.
If Godesu is in trouble, I can pull her towards me with a magnet spell. If she needs it...
I watched as she lifts the god in the air with a spin and threw him. All I can do is not get blow away and wait for the right moment.
So I took cover behind the car and watched as a mountain disappeared and then burned away. I knew that when Campione is fighting, maps need to be rewritten, but to see it with my own eyes. And now came the Boar I saw when I met Godesu for the first time out of the ground.
But then came Melqart's words. Yes, Godesu is a trickster. And a smart one. How she used her powers to damage Melqart in a short amount of time was impressive. And it played out perfectly. Is Godesu a genius? She has the personality of Lord Salvatore Doni, but she have plans.
In the fight against Verethragna she had a plan, could she have one now? Have I read her wrong this whole time. She's not an ignorant pawn in someone's plan, she's the mastermind! Someone who comes to a situation unprepared but comes up with a plan and comes on top anyway. That, it sounds like a Campione, someone abnormal.
I didn't realize that my heart had started beating faster when I realized it, or when it stopped for a second when I heard what Melqart said.
Tyrian's Hercules. To the Greeks and the Romans, who identified Melqart with Hercules, he was often distinguished as the Tyrian Hercules. It was something I had learned. As a Great Knight, it was important that I knew the history of the gods that can manifest in and around Italy. But I could never have believed that Melqart was Hercules.
It has been discovered that many heros and demigods in myths and legends were gods from other parts of the world. And with the Phoenicians was not far away from Greece. Yes, I can see it. Melqart and Zeus are alike, so that he would take him as a son is believable.
But even if I haven't seen him use any authority that should belong to Hercules, it's still possible for him to have a passive authority that gives him, well Herculean Strength.
I watched him call an army of dead and then started wrestling with the Boar again. It was armageddon. All I could do is take cover, if she comes and asks me for help, like when we fought Verethragna, I will. But just like then, I can only trust her. Everything has fallen into her plan this far, I can only hope that it continues to do so.
Kusanagi Godsu POV
The Boar had opened up the sky, but it was once again covered by the storm under Melqart's control. He is pretty injured already, but it feels like I can do more, but what? Which authority should I use?
Gale, Camel and the Warrior is what I have left. Well, I have the Ram and Youth, but I don't think it will be useful in combat. And I don't know where my sword is.
(Oh, I am the sword) replied the Boar. (The Nemesis Sword, as you call it, changes shape with each incarnation. But I've been separated. When Verethragna used me, he became me. But when you became my master, we became separate.)
Oh... okay. So that means that when I use you, you become my sword?
(Yes)
Then I have a plan, it's not a good plan, but my gut tells me I should do it. Ok, get me up in the air, kind of around his face.
I approached the fight between the giants. The Boar stopped burning and turned to kick Melqart with his hind legs, and while he was doing that, he turned and buried his tusks in the ground beneath me. If I remember correctly, wild boars dig for food sometimes. So, big boar digs bigger.
The Boar threw me up in the air and over him as he pulled the tusk out of the ground. And now I'm flying. No, I'm falling towards Melqart.
"Perfect. Well done." I said. If Melqart or the Boar noticed, they didn't say show it. " Oh wind, carry me forward. To save the damsel in distress." The Boar disappeared in a flash of light, but if I had used another incarnation, the sword would have been under me, but that's not a problem for the Gale.
The sword was in my hand, and the wind itself helped me forward. My sword sinks into Melqart's eye and he cries out in a scream of pain. A stump came towards me and I dropped the sword. I fell towards the ground, but I would never get the chance to reach it.
One club moves like the wind, the other like lightning. It was the weapons of Melqart that he has been using until now, even if he can not hold them and thus not use them optimally. But they can still fly through the air, towards me specifically. They crashed into each other, but to Melqart's surprise, there was no one between them.
"Deja vu enybody?" I said in a British accent, now back to the sword in Melqart's eye. The Gale allows me to teleport to the sword, or as I did before now, teleport the sword to me. I pulled out the swords and used the wind control so that I wouldn't get all of the blood spraying out over me. "Heh, it looks like gods can bleed." I jumped off Melqart's face with my sword in hand when an arm came towards me, and Melqart hit his own face.
I knew it couldn't work again, but I got an eye and-
I was interrupted from my thoughts when a club came straight at me. It had come straight from behind me, so I didn't see it until I noticed it was less than a foot behind me. Sword in hand, I couldn't avoid it. The only thing I could do was use the Ram so that I didn't die. Or that's what I thought.
I landed softly on the club and started to fly around on it.
"I see." Melqart said in a deep but not surprised tone." Yagarrish the Chaser who is enveloped in gales. And you control the gale. It hunts its prey by riding on the winds until it hits. But you control the wind and where they go. And without hands, I can't take control of Yagarrish myself. You planned this from the beginning, didn't you?"
I have no idea what he's talking about or what's going on right now. "Yes. I did."
"I see, it looks like I have to give everything I can." With that, the club disappeared in the middle of the air under me. The same with the other club. I started to fall down when I heard something absurd. "If my weapons as Melqart can't defeat you, then I must use something else. Because don't forget that I am Baal! Baal Hadad! Beelzebub!"
"Seriously! First Heracles, now Beelzebub! Do you have an identity crisis or something? What next, Chuck Norris? " I heard a buzzing. I looked around me as I fell. It was hard to see with the stormy sky, but I could feel it. The dark aura that started to come from Melqart now comes from all directions.
The trees that had survived our fight just because they were too far away disappeared. They were devoured by a swarm of locusts. Thousands upon thousands that come from all directions. I look towards where Erica is. Before they get here, they will reach her. I understood what was going to happen to her if they reached her.
I felt it, no I heard it. A voice came from the Gale. Erica's. "Godesu! They are-" The voice was interrupted and before I knew it I was at the car. I was at the bottom of a cliff and to the side of the road. The car had been blown between two rocks which created a wind shelter for Erica.
I turned to Erica, I knew it was time for the Warrior and the power-up kiss, but that's when I realized something. The Gale needs someone who knows me personally and is in danger, must call out my name to summon me to that location, that's what I told Erica. But the danger was not Melqart or the swarm of locusts. It was stones that had come loose from the wind.
Erica lies on the ground, stones over both her and the car, but what I focused on was the blood running down her blonde hair. "Erica!" I ran up to her and held her up.
"God-es-u?" Said a faint voice. Blue eyes looked up at me unfocused. A stone had fallen on her. She will survive as far as I can tell, but it looks like she has a concussion.
"You can't escape me godslayer!" I looked towards Melqart with Erica in my arms. The swarm had reached him now and it was starting to cover him and red lightning was emitting from his body. "I am the King of these islands! Even if you've defeated The Invincible Warrior, you'll get no help fighting me!"
Like a flood, the swarm came over us. I held up the sword, but the winds could only barely keep it away. They weren't on their way to us, they were on their way to Melqart. The storm was stronger now, but that wasn't the problem. Melqart lived up to the name Beelzebub. The locust had recreated his armor, but more demonic. His hands were thousands of locust that swarm together in the shape of two hands and it looked like he had tentacles around him of more locust that were heading towards him. Along with the scarlet lightning and red eye. Yes, this is a demon lord.
"Can-can you use the sword? From before?" Erica's voice was barely audible. But the fear was evident in it. She looked towards the demonic form of Melqart as he approached.
"I need knowledge. You gave it to me against Verethragna."
She laughed softly. "Gold represents wisdom, in other words; a Warrior who holds a golden sword is a Warrior who holds knowledge."
"Ah, so that's how it works." I said and understood. The sharpness of the sword is its wisdom.
"But I can't cast The Instruction magic. My thoughts are too messy, and I can't give you what you need to win. Who would thought that I, Erica Blandelli, would be brought low by a rock." Her arms hugged around me." I'm sorry, we're going to die because of me."
"No, it's my fault. I didn't take this seriously." This may be an anime, but I live in it. It's as real as it can be. I don't know what I did wrong, what Godou did to win. He may kiss before the fight, or not. I don't know, and it's too late to do anything about it now.
I looked towards the demonic Melqart who was starting to look a bit CG-animated, which didn't help because he just looks more demonic. He held out one of his swarm hands and lightning began to gather in his hand. A red energy globe that will kill me and Erica if I don't do something. "If you're too fast for my lightning, too strong for my clubs, too unstoppable to be swarmed, and too cunning for my storm, then I'll just have to use everything I have as a king of gods to defeat you."
I got up from Erica's arms. Wind and rain fall on my face. I will not die here. I've died once in a shitty life! Now in this life of power fantasy and top tier wifu, I will not give up. I will protect Erica with everything I have!
That's when I felt it. An authority shine. It's calling me to use it. It wasn't the Warrior, but something else. But I will give this everything I have! I stretch out my sword with both hands towards Melqart, and he did the same with the hand that held the red energy sphere .
"O lightning! O lightning! I am the conqueror who vanquished a thousand with a hundred, vanquished ten thousand with a thousand, and vanquished tens of thousands with ten thousand." Melqart shoots the red lightning sphere attack with the sound of one thousand thunder strikes, and it reaches me in under a second. "Now for the sake of I who stand on the side of justice, release bright and shining brilliance, and grant me divine power!"
Play Fairy Tail - Lightning Flame Dragon Roaring
The lightning stopped in front of me when the weapon in my hand met it. In my hand was a staff. It wasn't a quarterstaff that you beat people with. No, it's one that wizards and sorcerers have. With the base made of wood, but one stronger than anything in nature. One end was a flat metal piece while the other end that met Melqart's attack had the head of a goat with golden horns.
"My lightning, you usurped my lightning!" Melqart said in surprise.
"The Goat? Isn't it a sacred beast? And didn't he have a link with Heracles. Many gods have similarities to Heracles, that's why we thought that Melqart was just one of many prototypes for him, not the god who was him. But Verethragna was often equated to Heracles too, the son of Zeus. He also shares close ties to the thunder god Indra." I heard Erica say behind me.
I didn't answer them, because I had a hard time hearing them. Hundreds of voices from all over the island were in my ear. The storm had spread all the way over the island and the swarm did not help. All are afraid of the storm, to lose their loved ones. I can feel their heartbeat, like it's all beating as one in me. Yes, I am the one who will save the island from the demon. The power is in my hands.
I held up the staff and started to lift off the ground, this is more than having control over lightning. No, it is something that binds us together. To protect those close to us." This is the power of FRIENDSHIP!"
Godou and Godesu are different in almost every way. As for the Goat, as a horned beast, it has been the symbol of special magical power since ancient times. Kings and priests often wore hats or helmets with horns to show that the wearer possessed power. To the original Godou, it grants him an ability as a great mage, but To truly wield its power, Godou must act as a king towards the people.
But for Godesu it is different, it is rather along the side of the priest. And just unlike Godou, who does not have any talent in magic, Godesu has plenty of it. Together with her theme as a Godslayer, it made the Goat what she would later call her magical girl authority.
I drew all the power I could, from heaven, the earth, and also Melqart, lightning came to my staff. I'm going to end this with an attack before anyone else gets hurt. Especially Erica!
"Just because you have absolute control of my lightning doesn't mean I'm going to be defeated." Melqart picked up the speed, now with no option except to go into melee combat.
I pointed my staff at him and yelled out. " Lightning Dragon Slayer. No, Lightning God slayer Magic!: Eight Dragons' Rampaging Fangs!". Eight dragon heads made of lightning shoot towards Melqart.
"Do you think you can defeat me with dragons! I am Melqart, the hunter of dragons!" He held out his arms to my attack and tried to stop them. Red and yellow lightning flew in all directions. Only the ground behind me and Melqart could survive the intense encounter of force. But the longer it lasted, it became evident that the red lightning of Melqart was swallowed up by the eight dragon heads. For even with all his names, the one who stands before me is Melqart in his core. A god of storm.
Eight Dragons' Rampaging Fangs finally tore free from Melqart's fist and surrounded him before he disappeared in a huge explosion of yellow light.
Stop playing the music
When I was able to see again, I saw Melqart on the ground. The swarm is gone, along with the rest of his arms and armor. It looks like he has one foot in the grave.
"Unbelievable. A newborn slayer defeated me. I gave everything I had, but not even my storm stood a chance. I gave you everything I had, and you took it all. You, you are truly a demon." He said weakly. I didn't like seeing him like this, he looks so weak. Not the proud king who helped me as a mere human.
"Yes, you gave it everything you had, king of gods. I must admit that you are strong. Yes, you are Heracles, I can see it now. Only someone like you can become such a well-known hero. So." I raised my hand to him. " Stand proud Melqart, you are strong!" I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
"Hahaha." I heard a faint laugh from him as I floated in the air. He started to move and stood up. "Yes, I am. But so are you. If that undefeated god can lose to you, then I can accept my defeat." He stands proudly up even with all his wounds, I let some sunlight come down on the us. With the Goat, I'm now in control of the storm. "Young King, give me your name."
"I am Kusanagi Godesu."
"Well, Godesu. As the one who defeated the God of the Phoenician, I expect you to never lose to anyone else. One day I'll come back to this world and then we'll have our rematch. Now, strike me down and take your prize. You have earned it, and use it to survive so that we can meet again."
"Ok, that's a promise" I held up the staff and lightning gathered in the sky above us. It wasn't as strong as before, but they wasn't needed. A lightning bolt fell from the sky and hit him in the chest where his heart should be. He fell to the ground, the light of life had left his eye, and there was something in me that told me he was dead.
Now that it's over, I flew back towards Erica who was next to a half-melted car. You can see where I stood, because everything that was in front of me is gone or lava now.
"She can fly? Like a Witch?" I heard her say, but I couldn't see her mouth move. Which is weird, for I should be able to see that from this distance. I landed and looked over at her. She looked a little better. She was still sitting on the ground, but the wound on her head had stopped bleeding.
"Erica-chan. Are you ok? Are you feeling better?" I sat down in front of her and lay the staff to the side. At my question, she put her arms around my shoulder and leaned towards me.
"Unbelievable. She's a monster, I just saw her fight and win against a Divine King-class Heretic God, and all she cares about afterwards is if I'm ok. If I'm not careful, maybe she'll steal my heart."
"Gasp! Are you starting to fall for me?" I asked and She pulled back and looked down at me.
"Where did you get that idea from?" She asked.
"You just said it." I said confused.
Then I heard her say without moving her mouth. "Wait, did I say that out loud?" That's when I realized it.
"Oh, I can read minds" I said without thinking. Erica's face turned red and she slapped me and called me an ideot. But it feels like her thoughts just became much clearer.
Wow, this was an epic battle. Ok, something I want to say is that I don't read Fairy Tail. But I wanted an attack from there for obvious reasons. Oh, and its anime OST is on fire. (joke intended) So if there is something wrong with it, that is why.
In the LN, Godou got a heart problem when he used the Raptor, then he got hit by Melqart's club and was instantly KO'd. Then in the second fight he used the Warrior from the beginning. He couldn't defeat Melqart with it, but finish with the White Stallion. But they were in Palermo. With how the White Stallion's power increases with the sins the target has committed. So our Godesu could only hurt Melqart with hers. Then Melqart became live lightning and knocked out Godou. But in this fight she used the Goat that controls lightning so it was not an option for him.
Then there is the Melqart Heracles thing. I can't remember if it's cannon or if I read it in a fanfic, but I read that many heroes and demigods are gods from other myths. Perseus was Mithras, and Lancelot is—wait, is that a spoiler? It is for me, who has read most of the Campione fanfic on this site.
But the idea is, like how Perseus was Mithras, Melqart is also Hercules. I'm surprised the LN didn't use more of it, so I'm doing it here, hehe. Damn, Melqart wiki has his Equivalents listed as Heracles and Hercules. And it will matter in that to come. Also, it was a good plot twist and made the battle better.
And the undead came from a reviewer's idea for an authority Godesu would get from Melqart. I was not going to give it to her, so I med Melqart use it instead.
And thou these more thing I want to tack about, this chapter already is getting close to 8000. But about the Authority Profil. I am not listing all now, for it would tack a while. But I am going to have the MVP for the battle-

Authority Profil
Namn: The Goat
Original owner: Verethragna,
Current owner: Kusanagi Godesu.
The Goat grants absolute control over lightning, and allows her to listen to the hearts of the people. It takes the form of a staff with a goat head made of metal with golden horns on one end. The conditionis that Godesu must want to protect a friend (or girlfriend), or a friend who wishes to stand with her and fight to protect the people. It may only need a person with mutual positive feelings towards each other. Then the powers scalewith the unrest of the people. Under a large disaster, this authority power can rise to the same scaleas White Stallion in destructive potential. And as an avatar of wisdom, it increases her already great potential as a mage, buffing her understanding, aptitute and skill for the field of magic.
But it also has a effect on her personality and makes her more righteous, Thanks to the Psychic Sensing, that let her read the minds of those close to her, and the feelings of the people of the land. It is even possible for her to request the power of the people, which will give her magical energy. But it needs the approval of each individual respectfully.
This is a strong and flexible authority, but if the enemy is not using a lightning authority, or it is not a great disaster, the Goat will not live up to its potential. It is also draining a massive amount of energy, with she may not be able to replenish if not enough people give her it.
Note that she refers to this authority as her magical girl powers, and arguing this is like arguing that John Pluto Smith is not a superhero. AKA, not recommended. It is also not recommended to take adventus of her righteous personality in this state for her ability to read minds.
(AN. I mad this a bit more powerful than then the original. But this authority fit her better and I nuff the White Stallion.)
Authority Profil
Namn: White Stallion
Original owner: Verethragna,
Current owner: Kusanagi Godesu.
This represents Verethragna's relationship to the sun since his master Mithras, like Apollo, was said to have carried the sun across the sky in a horse-drawn chariot. This authority transforms the sword into a pseudo-sun. This authority powers scalewith the sins committed by all who are in contact with the sword on activation.
Later on, Godesu learns to form the pseudo-sun into a shooting spear of light instead of a remote bomb. But this is her most dangerous authority in regard to her own safety. She often burn herself when used, and it can only reach it's full potential if both she and her opponent is touching the sword.
