/ Scene on the road to Hephaestus Temple, Mount Olympus /

Shiryu, Shura, Deathmask are on their way to Hephaestus temple.

Shiryu: "Shura ..."

Shura: "What's wrong Shiryu?"

Shiryu: "Why do you want to face Hephaestus?"

Shura: "He is a god who makes powerful weapons, I will defeat all his weapons, with my Excalibur"

Deathmask: "Heh, I hope his weapon is not a bother"

Shiryu: "Deathmask, because you don't have any weapons, you should just become a support"

Deathmask: "What did you say ?!"

(Deathmask speaking irritably)

Deathmask: "You don't think I can fight head on ?!"

Shiryu: "I'm just offering it, before you regret it"

Deathmask: "I'll make you take your words back"

Shiryu: "Hee, is that so ?"

Deathmask: "Damn Shiryu you, I'll show you something interesting, after that -"

(Suddenly a big arrow pointed at them)

Shura: "Watch out you guys !"

Shiryu: "Ughhh!"

Deathmask: "What? !"

(The three of them managed to dodge the arrow)

Shiryu: "What a huge arrow"

Deathmask: "Oy oy, it still hasn't reached Hephaestus Temple ... Did they ambush from here ?"

Shura: "I don't think so ... Look over that pillar"

Shura pointed at the top of a pillar in front of them. And seen a large Ballista above the pillar

Note: This Ballista is a long-range weapon. Shaped like a large version of the Crossbow

Shiryu: "Ballista ? It's huge"

Shura: "That ballista was the one who shot this arrow earlier"

Deathmask: "I don't see anyone up there ..."

Shura: "Looks like it shoots automatically"

Shiryu: "Automatically you said?"

Shura: Yeah, it could be that our presence here triggers the weapon to activate, it could be through our Cosmo.

Shiryu: "So that's how it is"

Shura: "From now on, we have to be careful, there could be lots of traps along this path"

Deathmask: "Heh, this doesn't scare me"

Accidentally, Deathmask stepped on the ceramic which was the trigger for the trap

Deathmask: "Eee ..."

(Deathmask broke out in a cold sweat)

Deathmask: "Looks like this isn't good ..."

(There appear several flying statues with wings holding bows, the statue flies around them)

Shiryu: "Yes ... This is bad"

The three of them ran as fast as possible to escape from the pursuit of the statues

Shiryu: "Why you never listen, Deathmask? !"

Deathmask: "Shattering, that damn button just happened to be stepped on by me"

Shura: "..."

Shiryu: "Shura, why do we have to run, why don't we just attack?"

Shura: "Look at them, they fly quite high, and also their movements are very fast ... We won't hit them easily"

Shiryu: "Then what should we do?"

Shura: "First we have to find shelter"

(Shura sees a large rock in front of them)

Shura: "There, we take refuge there"

(The three of them run towards the rock and hide behind it)

Shiryu: "Yosh, we can take shelter temporarily"

Shura: "But this won't last long, they keep attacking this rock"

Deathmask: "Looks like I'm more suited to be a support"

Shiryu: "Didn't you say you were going to fight head on?"

(Shiryu comes up with an idea)

Shiryu: "I have an idea, listen up"

Shiryu explains his idea to Shura Deathmask. Meanwhile the statues continued to attack the rock they were hiding in

Shiryu: "Come on, Deathmask!"

Deathmask: "Tchh, what a pain!"

(Shiryu Deathmask throw the stone to the sky)

Shiryu: "Shura!"

Shura: "* JUMPING STONE *!"

Shura charged upwards, attacking the rock. Shura's kick made the rock into small pieces. The stone flakes point towards the statues, and the statues are destroyed

Shiryu: "It worked"

Shura: "Not bad either, Shiryu"

Deathmask: "You really made me lift the stone huh Shiryu"

Shiryu: "Think of it as doing your duty as a support"

Deathmask: "You will see, later you will thank me"

Shiryu: "Heh"

Seen the army of Saints coming after them

Saint: "Oyy ..."

(They run out of breath)

Saint: "Can you guys not leave us behind?"

Shura: "You have to run faster, I'll leave you behind"

Saint: "Eeeee ..."

Shiryu: "But on the bright side, we've cleared some of the barriers"

Deathmask: "You guys have to practice a lot more"

Shiryu: "At least they didn't mess up ..."

Deathmask: "Huh? !"

(Deathmask triggered by Shiryu's words)

Shura: "Now is the time for us to continue, Hephaestus Temple is near"

Shiryu: "Yes"

Shura: "Come on!"

Saint: "Yes !"

All of them continued their journey towards the Temple of Hephaestus

/ The scene in front of the Hephaestus Temple, Mount Olympus /

Hephaestus was sitting in front of his temple.

Hephaestus: "Athena's huh ..."

(Hephaestus speaks to himself)

Hephaestus: "Did they get here ... ?"

(A footstep is heard)

Hephaestus: "Huh ?"

(Then seen several people in front of the temple entrance gate)

Hephaestus: "Hoo, you guys got here huh ... Athena's Saints ..."

The Saints were panting for breath

Shiryu: "Huff ... Huff ... It's not as easy as I imagined"

Deathmask: "Huff ... God damn, you put traps along the way here!"

Hephaestus: "I praise you for coming here"

Deathmask: "Watch out you God, you will pay!"

(Deathmask speaking while looking at Hephaestus in annoyance)

Shiryu: "This temple is like a battle fortress"

Shura: "Huh ?"

(Shura looks at Hephaestus in confusion)

Shura: "You, are you just alone ?"

Hephaestus: "Did you guys go in without a plan ?"

Suddenly the Saints were surrounded by Hephaestus troops from the front and behind them

Shura: "? !"

Deathmask: "What ?!"

Shiryu: "This is bad!"

Hephaestus: "Introduce, they are my troops combat, Hoplites"

Note: These Hoplites look very much like combat troops, wearing bronze armor, bronze helmets, spears / swords, and shields. The number is 60 people

Shiryu: "I didn't think we would be surrounded like this"

Hephaestus: "Give it up, you are only 13 people ... We are 4 times more than you, you are clearly outnumbered"

Shura: "Numbers don't matter, I'll fight all of you"

Shiryu: "As I thought"

Deathmask: "Alright, what's the plan?"

Shura: "The plan is only one ... Attack !"

(Suddenly Shura advances to attack the Hoplites from the front)

Deathmask: "Oyy ...!"

Shiryu: "Prepare to attack, Deathmask!"

(Shiryu runs to attack the Hoplites behind the Saints)

Deathmask: "You too? !"

(Deathmask takes a deep breath)

Deathmask: "You guys, always think straight ..."

Deathmask raised his index finger. Around his finger was a blue spirit aura. The blue aura surrounded Deathmask's finger. Deathmask also prepares with stances to attack

Note: You know the Sekishiki Meikai Ha aura right, now the shape of the aura is like that

Deathmask: "Don't you guys die!"

Shura: "Hmph"

Shiryu: "Of course!"
