As the Titian came closer, I drew out my sword Heaven Breaker and prepared for a fight. I charged out to face him, utilizing the Universe Traveling Steps to appear right in front of him. Sensing danger, he brought his sword down to deflect from the strike. Seeing that I didn't manage to hit him, I drew back my sword and slashed downwards instead. He blocked again and slashed towards my head. I dodged and he charged trying to stab me. Seeing that, I utilized my qi to create a hundred swords behind me. He face changed and he quickly tried to block. I didn't allow that to happen so I attacked him. I also stabbed forwards and injured him as he dodged.
"Kid, you're good" He snarled "But not as good as your predecessors" he jumped at me with his sword, swinging it rapidly
We were pretty much even but as we started to become faster and faster, I found that he was stronger than me. We both wanted to gain the upper hand in speed to control the tempo of the battle. Controlling the tempo wouldn't make you win but it becomes easier to defeat the opponent on a one on one. We parried, blocked, and dodged the attacks that came at us. We were both slightly injured with cuts here and there.
Slowly I began to pay attention to my surroundings less and less, completely absorbed in the fight. My body seemed to be fighting by itself automatically. Suddenly I felt a surge of energy inside of me. I found myself breaking through form Mid Stage to Late Stage Immortal Realm. Sensing something strange in the situation, Hyperion tried to stab at me seeing that I had slowed down in my movements. Just as his sword was about to enter my head I raised my hands and caught his sword with my fingers.
"Wha-"
His expression changed and he quickly tried to pull his sword away. I grinned and stabbed my sword into his stomach. During our fight, my Universe Traveling Steps and Immortal Sword body upgraded to the 5th level. Instilling qi into my hand, I could catch the sharpest object in the world without being hurt, but it doesn't apply to the rest of my body. I pulled out my sword and he stumbled backwards while spitting out blood. The Satyrs and Dryads chanted and sang which then began to turn his body into a tree.
'From now on Hyperion is no more' I thought
Their army, seeing that I defeated their leader, quickly retreated in a panic.
REEEEEE
Before we could relax a giant a** pig came flying above us.
"WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT?!?!" I cried out
The damn thing was flying in the sky. I looked at the others in confusion wanting to ask if that was reinforcement. It came down and nearly squashed a couple demigods to death. 'God, dying in battle was one thing, but dying from being squashed by a oversized pig is just embarrassing.' I pitied the ones who almost died from that thing falling on top of them.
I saw Percy riding Black Jack into the skies chasing it.
"Alex!" Evan came over worriedly "You ok?"
"Yea I'm fine" I looked back at him
Another attack came soon after and we had to get back to work. 'God Damn, they just don't want us to catch a break don't they' I secretly complained. A lot of demigods were tired and the Dryads and Satyrs were completely spent. They were coming on all sides trying to break through. They nearly broke through a couple times but I sent them back where they came from. We couldn't fight anymore, the demigods were completely spent. I told them to retreat back to the building. I protected whoever I could during the retreat but we still lost many demigods. I used the thousand sword technique repeatedly until I nearly collapsed due to the fatigue. I haven't had a good sleep for a while already. But, I knew I couldn't go take a rest since I was the strongest here, if Kronos decided to attack when I'm not around then we would lose.
As we fell back to the building. We tried our hardest to defend but there were too many monsters. All hope seemed to be lost but we could hear cheers and excitement in the distance. The monsters turned around and we literally saw a stampede coming at us.
Looking at the person leading them "Chiron?!?" I was surprised that he was here with reinforcements. 'So that's where he went' I was wondering why he didn't appear during the fight. I didn't ask since we were too busy defending Olympus that even when there was time, no one really wanted to talk.
Chiron and his group of centaurs were equipped with all sorts of weapons. Monsters started to die from being attacked by the centaurs from behind. They tried to turn around an attack the centaurs but I led the demigods to charge against the monsters as they turned around. Now the monsters had to attack both sides.
The other monsters, seeing that things were not going so well for them quickly retreated from the battlefield. Seeing them leave we collapsed onto the ground completely exhausted. The demigods went back into the building to rest and Percy came back with injuries.
"The pig?"
"Porkchops" he answered
He walked across the battlefield littered with bodies of fallen demigods. some people from the Apollo and Hermes cabin volunteered to take care of the corpses.
I walked into a room and slept as my body gathered the qi around me. I woke up a while later and found Rachel and Chiron talking.
