Trial: Godlike

Cassius Pov

I dodge the heavy hammer by mere inches, I quickly flit to the side of the large emerald covered room while avoiding falling debris. I bring up golden death and fire three arrow towards his weapon wielding arm. My arrows simply bounce off of him, he quickly turn and head toward my direction.

'What the hell is he made of?' I wonder stunned.

"God command: Die you big ugly monster" I yell getting desperate

Gods command ineffective

Target views as an inferior, coupled with his stupidity he does not understand you position. Being commanded has enraged him.

Berserker status engaged for 30 seconds

Attacks become 50% more powerful for 30 seconds

Speed doubles for 30 seconds

"Awesome, just what I needed" I groaned sarcastically, I knew these skill was too good to be considered fair.

The Cyclops ran towards me, even knowing his speed and power would be doubled I wasn't ready for it. It seemed as if he materialized in front of my and was already mid-swing before I could even react. I had few seconds to make my decision, I briskly flit towards his swing and brought golden death over my head to avoid the finishing blow. It never came the giant hammer flew over my head and cracked the wall behind me.

'Chance' I thought as I materialized two kunai.

I flit toward the giant and used my momentum to kick myself into the air. I knew my strength stat had leveled significantly so I rose quite a distance.

'Too stupid to bow down huh, I'll show you why intelligence shouldn't be neglected.' I shifted my weight and used my kunai to catch the rock hard skin of the Cyclops.

It seems to have finally noticed my accent and is explicitly trying to shake me off, using any means necessary.

I use my make shift kunai to slowly climb up, the Cyclops rams himself into the wall while trying to knock me lose, my health slowly starts to decline and it is becoming a task to maintain my consciousness. My full attention is just to stay awake.

'It's ironic, the only plan I can think of is to not to die. It's not one of my most detailed plan, but it should work. Ok battle mode. How can I win this? Can I win this? Of course I can for that is who I am? I just have to think

• He's stupid, low intelligence has the most exploitable flaws victory

• He is currently in a frenzy there no way he can fight like he did before victory

• I need to kill him quickly or ill be the one defeated victory

• I showed all that I am capable of victory

• I am the one who will end him victory

• I am the one who will emerge victorious victory victory

• Victory, Victory, Victory!!!!!

I activate Gods aura a blanket of crimson gold flames wrap around me, and golden death. I look at my weapon and I see it has also changed my runes have spread towards golden death. Golden death's silver lines have now turned into a deep blood red and red light seeped from the vivid runes that covered its surface.

"HaHaHa, it seems that I have a gods timing as well. Your death has been cemented. " I yell grinning from ear to ear, mindless determination activating in crimson red as well. My killing intent alerting to giant to new danger, it desperately started using his giant hammer to try to end me. He only succeeded in injuring itself and making my job easier. I flit around his body directing his hammer towards vital spots and especially painful pressure points. I bring out Golden death and summon a grim bolt, It appeared with a cold crimson fire surrounding it.

'This looks interesting I wonder what this does' I aim towards the Cyclops dominant hand and fire dominant hand, but instead of passing through and vanishing like before it started to burn. I kick off the giant and safely land using a high speed flit in the air.

I stood there in awe, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. At first the giant tried to beat out the flames but whenever he touched them his hand froze. The giant couldn't understand why he was hot and cold started to panic and fling himself against the walls, but that only served to spread the flames. The flames quickly covered the giant as he wailed in agony. When the bonfire ended all that remained of the Cyclops were various ashes and his giant hammer.

"That...that...That was epic. Was that me? When did I learn that cold fire thing? The battle aspects of this ability is astronomical.

I was interrupted from my rant by a status window

'I wonder what Crimson Challenger is'

"Show Golden Death"

Golden Death

"The glassy waters that lay in peace, Lined by tree's that border its mirror, and through the glass they reach for the sky.."

A true weapon does not disturb nature and instead melds with it, the golden death arrows do not fly through all obstacles, I destroys its existence completely. To maintain balance, to erase its enemies.

A bow create and soul bound to the God Cassius, attempted theft of weapon will incur the wrath of the gods, fate, and balance itself -1000 karma.

This bow works by converting thoughts into arrow

You must have and total understanding of the arrow you wish to create.

Special Skill: Shards of Fate- create an arrow that will destroy anything in creation for 10 levels, and your life. Gods will even quiver in front of this arrow, this is not death. Death does not mean anything to an immortal, this is obliteration.

Crimson Challenger mode:

By your constant drive towards victory your bow has evolved to match your will

Shape shift Crimson Challenger to deal more damage to your foes,

Increase its power by compounding the knowledge of the Ancient runes in its Shaft.

Accuracy will down 25% each power up and you need high STR to Draw the bow string

Without the proper strength accuracy will continue to fall, when the strength requirement is met the accuracy penalty will become 0, each strength decrease Accuracy Penalty when using this Specific Form of Bow.

• Double bow not have requirement but with 50 strength you can max the potential and damage of Double bow,

• Triple bow need minimal 75 Str max 100 Str for maximum power.

• Quadruple Bow need Minimal 100 Str max 125 Str for maximum power.

• 5-Fold bow need minimal 125 Str max 150 Str for maximum power.

• 6-Fold bow need minimal 150 Str max 200 Str for maximum power.

• 7-Fold bow need minimal 200 Str max 250 Str for maximum power.

• 8-Fold bow need minimal 250 Str max 325 Str for maximum power.

• 9-Fold bow need minimal 325 Str max 400 Str for maximum power.

• 10-fold bow[Max] need minimal 400 Str max 500 Str for maximum power.

"Yes I was hoping for some extra power, this was just what I needed. It seems that I only have the strength for the minimal draw of Triple Bow. Here I thought dexterity was the most important stat for an archer"

Grim Arrow- Mastery (100%)

Hells Fire Arrow- Mastery (100%)

'Ancient Rune Arrow? I can tell what my new cold flame arrow is, but this one's a mystery. Hmm, well I guess ill figure it out later.'

"Ok, now that I'm all healed up. I have to give Ares his punishment, the trials are yet to be completed." I picked up Golden Death and walked towards the new emerald doorway. "This is going to be fun" I smiled evily
