5th Rated God - Volume 1 Chapter 53 The Main Character Shows His Stuff
Currently in a special dimension…
“Heyyy, Sphinx~”
“Yeah?”
“Don’t you ever get bored of guarding this dimension, also what are you guarding?”
“Not really, I guess it has to do with my existence. We sphinxes were created to guard treasure, but its best if you don’t know what behind those doors”
A few moments later…
“Want to hear a riddle?”
“…..Not this again…”
A few moments later…
“Hey did you ever venture out into other realm?”
“Of course! I made my name through these riddles myself. I Stopped the greatest of scholars and slayed many wannabe heroes!”
The parrot thought that those who came across him must have been surprised….
“Us sphinx gather strength through the spread of our signature tales of our unsolvable riddles.”
“What about Oedipus?”
“DON’S SPEAK HIS NAME! It was most unpleasant and disgraceful! Us sphinxes received quite a backlash and our reputation dropped.”, roared the sphinx
“For centuries nobody could solve that riddle, but then he just to come and figure it out! Ever since, we had to update our ways.”
“That dame bastard even managed to ascend into godhood after death!”
Moments later….
“So how are the other realms?”
“How is it compared to ours?”
“What are the other gods like?”
Apparently this is how they spent the time to rid themselves of the boredom. Every now and then the fake phoenix would ask random questions, and then the sphinx would tell an obscene riddle, that often involved a inappropriate body part.
A few moments later…
“Why do you keep asking these questions?”, said the sphinx.
“Apparently Im not from here, they have been very accepting but it feels like im missing something and have a deep urge to find it…”
“Then go”
“But mama Isis and big bro did so much for me… I don’t think I can ever repay them…”
“Then-”
BOOM!
The pair were in the middle of a conversation when suddenly the doors blocking the entrance where blasted apart! A beautiful creature with a bunch of tails showed up and a man was along with it. The sphinx and the parrot looked at the intruders in shock as did they. Eventually the pairs regained their seriousness, took their battle positions and both sides immediately launched their attacks.
The sphinx and the little parrot was put on guard duty since the invasion of the enemy forces. The sphinx thought that nothing would happened and who would be crazy enough to clear all 997 stages to get to them? This dimension was crafted by none other than a primordial god, the most ancients of ancients!
Ra: Im still plenty young!
The sphinx didn’t know for what purpose Horus would place the little parrot along with him, but he knew that Horus must have had some doubts. Well he didn’t have anyone else to talk to so he was happy to have new little play thing to have some fun with.
The parrot was frighted at first and begged for its big bro not to, but Horus said it had to. With no other choice it stood there dejected.
Feeling bad Horus simply slapped it with some faith points to shut it up. 1 billion to be exact. After that the parrot no longer complained. It was not alot for Horus but it wasn’t a little. Eventually after spending time with the sphinx the parrot and it started to regularly chat and the sphinx would frequently tell dirty jokes. They were starting to become more accustomed to each other that they were in quite a merry mood, but that all stoped when they were interrupted by the intruders.
Seeing actual intruders the parrot started to feel that 1 billion wasn’t going to be enough. It had never fought to the death with anyone before , after all!
“Get on me!”, yelled the sphinx.
The foolish parrot did as ordered. He clutched the fur of the sphinx’s mane with its talons and was prepared to support the sphinx if needed, but its was quite shocked and was slitty trembling…
The parrot immediate asked the Thoth system how much faith points the opponents had.
“WARNING! WARNING! OPPONENT IS VASTY SUPERIOR CANNOT REGISTER.”, alarm bells rung in its head.
“Shit~”, thought the parrot. Ever since that whole fiasco with Set, Thoth had installed yet another new feature that would prevent it form viewing the faith points of those too strong.
“They must be in the billions!!!”, thought the parrot.
To start things off the nine tailed fox’s tails squirm like snakes before turning into ferocious Dragons. She directed her tails to slam into the sphinx and the weird little bird. Her silver white tailes where not just fluffy decoration, but a deadly arson of weapons.
The sphinx could feel the worthless little thing trembling on its back and didn’t think he could rely of it. He knew that he shouldn’t touch those tails and he wasn’t put there as a guardian for nothing, and roughly dodged her incoming tails. It opened its mouths and breathed a massive stream of flames, but Loki stepped in and casted some ice magic and negated the flames. A huge ice wall was formed in an instant. The sphinx didn’t stop spewing flames and it took a few good seconds before the ice wall was finally melted.
Unfortunately what lay behind the ice wall was several figures of both the nine tased fox and Loki. In a span of a few second, behind the wall Loki was able to create several illusions and all the figures rushed towards the sphinx.
“Tsk”, thought the sphinx.
“Its an illusionists, and a high level one too. I cant spend to much faith on the fakes or ill be worn out before too long”
Just as the sphinx was about to launch a large scale breath, the parrot finally took action. Raising its wings, it invokes some faith, its wings turn fire and spawned out several feet that could encompass even the large figure of the sphinx.
“Wha-“, the sphinx was surprised. So it wasn’t just another useless party member after all…
With great strength it flapped its fiery wings and lifted the sphinx into the air! They dodged the figures as they rushed towards them as they soared above. The nine tailed fox and Loki could only look up in surprise. At the same time several fire orbs were created that floated near the wings.
They lacked in power compared to the breath the sphinx, but made up for it in numbers. Like rain, the fire balls where sent scattering in all directions. It learned this move from mama Isis and was a frequent tactic magicians use to cause large scale damage and from coach Horus its movements were no longer amateurish and its strict training lessons allowed it to have a better grasp of the situation and to act with no fear.
The wide range the fire balls that hit the illusions Merlyns phased through. This gave the indication of which were fakes. One of the fox figures was caught up in the rain of fire and curled her tails to encompass herself in a furry lotus to defend against the rain.
“Thats the real one!”
The sphinx started to evoke a faith to boost the power over its rain of fire, and the sphinx lashed out a claw that sent a sharp air wave.
Somehow while they were distracted over finding the real fox, they forgot about where the real Loki was. They both launched powerful attacks they failed to notice Loki creeping up behind them.
The sound of a knife entering flesh was sounded. Just like that a dagger out of nowhere was lodged into the hind of the sphinx and into the small back of the parrot.
It seemed fatal for the the little parrot as the daggers was as big as it was while for the sphinx it was like a tooth pick.
“Yo, little guy, are you alright?!!?!”, said the sphinx worriedly. It had gotten along with the little thing so he had a bit of attachment formed around them.
The tiny parrot laid still, sprawled on the sphinx’s back and with the dagger still in its back. The sphinx was dropped into the ground without the parrot lifting it up.
“Hey!”, yelled the sphinx again.
“Do you really have the time to be worrying about others?”, smirks Loki.
The sphinx had a bad precognition and suddenly felt its body weaken. The area where it was stabbed started to turn green! It was no ordinary poison. While it was a ordinary monster before, it had rose to godhood! The poison that could effect meant that it could probably kill gods at his level!!!
The fox and Loki stood on opposite side of the sphinx, in front and behind. Due to its body, the sphinx and low peripheral vision. It would greatly hinder him with a enemy to its back. They started to slowly close in on him. Not to mention the area where the wound is starting to spread.
“This isn’t good…”, said the sphinx in a unhopeful tone.
While the sphinx was busy figuring out a plan, on its back the corpse of the little parrot started to lit up…
The knockoff phoenix: I aint dead yet!!!! Activate plot armor!!!
Author:…fine…
