Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Ch. C21: Rising Tower
Yin spun around lashing out with Neck Lacer. The ancient gold blade tossed the Roman's blade free of her hand. His blade came full circle as he grabbed her shoulder pulling the demigod into his hilt. The girl fell like a stone as Yin sprinted into his next battle letting lose a jarring kick to a Greek followed by neck chop.
"Attack!" A voice yelled as Yin spun around knocking free a spear from a massive demigod with rainbow tattoo on his bicep. "Die!"
"Take your own advice!" Yin called rebounding off a fellow Demititans shield and into the massive rainbow guy. The guy landed hard as Yin rolled to his feet charging forward with a kick to the brute's head. "Have a nice nap!"
"Aaaagggghhhh..." The brute groaned still rising to his feet. "Remind me to wear a helmet next time..."
"Damn what are you made of?" Yin asked neck chopping a Greek who got to close.
"Rainbows and pain!" the guy roared picking up a massive battle-ax from the ground charging forward.
Yin stood his ground his mind calm, body relaxed, fighting against an ax was Yin's specialty. "Nice try big guy!"
"What?!" the brute spat as he brought his ax down. Yin spun around the brute Neck Lacer dancing as Yin bounced off the brute's calf gravity pulling him down Neck Lacer's G hilt hitting hard against his head. "Ow!"
"Finally!" Yin said swinging Neck Lacer wondering if he just broke his wrist over the brute's head. The guy lay snoring in a heap as Yin ran deeper into the fray. Titans was this bad. Yin thought as he slashed a demigod's calf. The battle was huge with everything from one on one fights to raging formation tactics. There were a lot of demigods lying about bleed or unconscious or both. The Demititan shook his head free of such thoughts as he felt a wave of dread and hope. "Dante!"
"Yin!" a static voice called into the boy's ear. "We have orders from Demise to blow the mess hall and raise the tower!"
"Copy do as advised I'm giving you a go ahead!" Yin called as the icy ground shook with a massive explosion of fireworks from the mess hall still some distance away. The fighting stopped as the tremors worsened the sound of permafrost cracking beneath them as a massive Stygian iron and ancient bone tower broke over the top of camp Kronos's walls. The Demititans cheered as they reentered battle.
"Move soldier!" a voice called as Yin dropped to the icy ground missing imperial gold Spatha by the hairs of his neck. "They're coming around again!"
Yin rolled to his left as the snow he had just laid upon exploded. The Demititan jumped to his feet instinct taking over as his side stepped what seemed to be a Calvary moving close to supersonic. The blur moved in again this time Yin was ready Neck Lacer dancing as he parried the Calvary's mighty blow.
"Ow!" a girls voice screamed in a southern accent as the twos blades coiled together. Yin jumped back as she let loose another strike this one much slower and less accurate. "Gods that was terrible!"
In a flash the horse and rider were off leaving only two lines of fire like the car from back to the future.
"Good job staying on your feet soldier!" a very familiar voice called getting closer. Yin ripped off his helmet turning to meet his twin. "Yin!?"
"Yang." the twin replied spinning around Neck Lacer liberating a gladius from a roman. Yin side stepped the girls punch planting his hilt into her helm with a loud bang. "We have company!"
The two were back to back in a second ax and sword. There were at least twenty Romans surrounding them swords drawn very few had shields.
"Are you ready Yin?!" Yang called gripping his ax tight.
"Is it cold?" Yin asked with a grin.
"Good." Yang Replied as the demigods charged.
