Percy Jackson: The Firstborn

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: A Rule Written in War

Important: Based on the recommendations, I will change the name of MC to Kaelion. Some of you liked Damon, others wanted other names, and others liked all the names. But Kaelion had the most support.

Once I get back from school, I will update all Chapters. With that said, enjoy the Chapter. Bye.

Battlefield>

Quickly, with Damon’s arrival, Menoetius attacks with hammering blows from his fist, creating a shockwave.

Damon, with his new control over his divine power, creates a barrier that turns the wave into particles, protecting him from the impact.

Menoetius advances, trying to grab Damon, but Damon quickly moves, surprising the Titan with his speed.

Damon uses his sword to deliver rapid cuts against the Titan; in turn, the Titan responds by trying to charge into Damon. But Damon was already expecting this, so he dodges easily, leaving deep cuts on the Titan.

But Menoetius wasn’t the Titan of rage for nothing; every time his anger increased, he became stronger, his wounds healed, and he became faster.

Damon, seeing this turn of events, quickly forms a plan against the Titan who, despite being strong, is small-minded, and he knows perfectly well how to exploit this weakness, full of rage and without coherent thoughts.

The spectators easily noticed Damon’s style: perfect deflections, he doesn’t block force; he changes the angle at the last instant. Damage to posture: surgical cuts to the ankle, the knee, or the hip to force him to lose his base.

This was very effective against Titans who only used their strength and rage to crush their enemies, like Menoetius. His own momentum ”ends” inside his body, which causes him to stumble, to lose control, his posture collapsing.

Back with Damon and Menoetius>

The Titan, seeing how easily Damon was dispatching him, flew into a rage, overflowing his body with power in a massive expansion, forcing everyone to protect themselves.

Damon simply raised his hand, creating a barrier that protected him from the wind and the overflowing power.

Menoetius, who had entered complete rage, ran toward Damon, taking huge leaps, leaving craters and making the earth tremble from the bursts, causing havoc around him.

Damon, unafraid, prepared himself; this was what he wanted. Quickly channeling his power into his arm, he ran at blinding speeds at the Titan, slipping past his defenses and landing a devastating punch to the face, making him lose his balance.

In turn, Damon channeled his power into the sword, the blade shining gold, and struck twice at Mnesonine. Two golden, crescent-shaped slashes shot toward Menoetius.

Trying to protect himself, he put his arms in front of him in an X, but he didn’t realize this would be a very costly mistake.

The slashes easily cut through his arms like butter, causing two deep gashes across his chest that, at a glance, looked like they would leave scars.

The Titan screamed loudly, ”CURSE YOU—MY ARMS—HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!! AAHHHHH!”

Seeing his brother in trouble, two other Titans quickly moved in to help him, shocked by the power of Kronos’s firstborn son.

One of the Titans began hurling gigantic chunks of earth at Damon, trying to push him away from Menoetius as much as possible.

Damon, expecting this turn, raised a finger toward the massive chunks of earth. A small ball of energy formed at the tip of his finger.

The small sphere shot out, exploding against one of the chunks of earth and rapidly expanding into a wave that disintegrated the earth projectiles. Surprising, the Titan, who then moved in and, with a piston-like strike, generated a wave.

Damon easily dodged this by leaping high, but the other Titan, coming from behind in long strides, raised his fist to strike Damon.

Damon, sensing the danger, turned in midair, crashing his fist into the Titan’s, generating a shockwave and, at the same time, breaking his arm. He fell to the ground, letting out a tearing scream, clutching his arm. This demonstrated Damon’s agility and strength.

Seeing his brother on the ground, fear in his eyes, the last Titan backed away and began to run, but Damon would not allow it, and in a display of speed and agility, he unsheathed his katana, cutting off his legs.

The Titan Damon crippled collapses, screaming, trying to crawl.

Damon didn’t even revel in his victory; he simply generated golden chains with his power, which proceeded to wrap around the three Titans, suppressing their power and leaving them defenseless and wounded. Their wounds no longer healed as quickly.

The battlefield fell silent for a few seconds; no one could believe the display of strength they had just seen; even the divinities of other pantheons were impressed.

This display not only showed Damon’s great power, but it also showed that he wasn’t one of those run-of-the-mill gods who simply settled for the power they were given at birth.

Many gods were satisfied with their power growing over time, making the minimum effort to increase their strength. This was what separated the strong from the weak.

The Titans around—who had been led by Menoetius—when they realized their leader and brothers were crippled and wounded, began to run, retreating in fear as they looked at Damon.

Unable to understand how he had become so strong. And many of them also didn’t want to lose their freedom or fall into imprisonment, because they knew that would be a fate worse than death.

With Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus>

It goes without saying how impressed and happy the brothers were by Damon’s display of power, especially Hades and Poseidon.

Zeus was happy to win the battle, but seeing Damon’s strength stirred his paranoia, though he didn’t show it.

Approaching Damon, Poseidon said, ”They’re retreating.”

Damon nodded. ”Better that way; let them regroup and carry the message to Kronos about their defeat today.”

”But wouldn’t it be better to finish them all off now?” Zeus asked.

”No. If we chase them now, that’s what they want, because in the end, we’ll split up and they’ll group up against each of us, so it’s better to prepare our forces and defend the fronts,” Damon said.

”I’ll lock these three in Tartarus—good work today, brothers; remember we only won this battle; we still have to win the war.”

I hope this battle was good enough for you to understand Damon’s powers. If you liked it, I would appreciate some stones. Give me your feedback as well.

I have a Patreon. It’s not up to date with Chapters, nor does it have anything else to offer, but if you want to support me more, you’re more than welcome. Eventually, I will update it.
