A few days later:
Huntsmen Organization HQ:
3rd Person POV:
Staring at the black skull with a bident for a crown on the top of its head, Theo could only sigh as he glanced back up from where he along with the other captains were waiting for Gilgamesh to start the meeting he wanted everyone to be here for.
"If only I was there! A quick battle with the final Judge of Israel himself and those gods would have cower in fear!" Samson exclaimed with a frown, Hassan shaking his head as Tesla chuckled and Georgios shook his head.
"Unfortunately, you had to deal with the giants' civil war, Isaac had to make sure our information archives were up to date and Holmes…" Georgios trailed off as he glanced at Holmes, the man in question just giving him an amused smile as he shook his head.
"Would have tried to toy with them and keep on testing his creations, leading to the destruction of the very town we were supposed to protect? That is the truth." Holmes said bluntly with a shrug, Georgios grumbling under his breath before they all noticed Theo's silence.
"Yo, Theseus. You okay?" Samson asked Theo, who just gave a weak smile as he shrugged.
"Not really. I…I guess I'm still shocked at the fact that my uncle died."
"Believe me, we were all surprised to hear that Hades passed in battle. I actually thought that he would beat you all and destroy the town."
"Holmes, not now." Georgios said with a frown, to which the captain just rolled his eyes and Theo smiled.
"Thanks, both of you, but I'm slowly getting better. It doesn't hurt as much as it used to."
"Ah, that's good to hear. We don't want your emotions to cloud your judgement in this meeting." Gilgamesh's voice came from behind me at the door and I glanced back with a smile
. "Nah, it's fine. We both know my emotions won't cloud my ju-!" Theo stopped talking as soon as he caught sight of Gilgamesh's form, a look of shock on his face that was mirrored on the faces of the other captains as Gilgamesh walked towards his chair and sat down with a grin.
"What? You all look like you've seen a ghost?" Gilgamesh asked with an amused smirk, not paying any mind to the jagged scar running down the right side of his face nor his missing left leg.
"…Did you decide to drink the entirety of your secret stash and go pick a fight with Shiva, Ophis and Great Red?" Theo asked with his eyes wide, Gilgamesh chuckling as he shook his head.
"No, this was from a battle against the Khaos Brigade."
"You went and killed them without us?!" Samson exclaimed in horror, the shock in the room disappearing as everyone sighed and Gil rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry, Samson. The Khaos Brigade are still active, so you didn't miss your chance to kill them." Samson gave an audible sigh of relief, making everyone chuckle before Theo spoke.
"Then if you didn't go and kill them, then what did you fight?"
"Oh, just Kronos, Rizevim, his butler, Aži Dahāka, Apophis, Niðhöggr, Yamato no Orochi and Crom Cruach when they decided to invade Olympus."
"…WHAT?!" This time, Theo was the one who shouted, shooting up from his seat before grunting as Gilgamesh's aura forced a corporeal hand and pinned him back to the ground.
"Keep calm. No one died and everyone is still alive."
"…You have five seconds to tell the entire story or else I'm destroying HQ." Theo said with a frown and a glare as he sat back in his chair and crossed his arms, Gilgamesh rolling his eyes as the captains glanced between the two of them.
"Fine. It happened on the same day Hades, Loki and Susano'o decided to attack Kuoh Town…"
Flashback Starts:
At Olympus:
"Are you certain this will actually work?" Rizevim frowned at Kronos' question as well as the doubt in his voice as he glanced at him.
"A few of my friends will handle Zeus and Poseidon while you, Euclid and I go and fetch the seals to your brothers' cages in Hephaestus' forge. The other Olympian Gods should be easy to defeat for us three."
"Then what's with the army with us?" Kronos asked as he pointed with his thumb at the army of devils floating behind them, to which Rizevim just shrugged.
"They're here to act as a distraction for the other minor gods that might interfere."
"Hm, I suppose the plan is adequate, but remember. If this fails, it's your head I'm taking as compensation."
"You can try, but don't think that it will be easy." Rizevim said with a grin before he turned to his army.
"My dearest soldiers and servants, I can't thank you all for joining me in this endeavour. As we descend onto Olympus to wreak havoc and chaos, we grow one step closer to re-taking our spot as the rightful devils of the Underworld! Trust in me as I trust in you all and together, Heaven and Hell shall bend to our will!"
'He's good.' Kronos thought to himself with a frown as he watched Rizevim deliver a speech to his subordinates and despite the fact that they all knew the devils were not nearly strong enough to fight against gods, they were still amped up by his charismatic words and aura.
'As long as we get my brothers, then I won't have to worry about him betraying me.' Kronos thought with a sigh as Rizevim lifted a hand into the air before pointing it at Olympus, watching as the devil army roared and charged down onto the mountain.
"Euclid, if you will."
"Of course, my lord." Euclid said with a bow as he clapped his hands before spreading them apart, Kronos raising an eyebrow at the hundreds of runic chains encircling the mountain, sealing it and them away from the outside world.
"Partisan." Kronos quickly turned back to the devil army only to raise an eyebrow at the sight of all of them slowly falling out of the sky, numerous bladed weaponry impaling them while a few others had been torn to shreds.
Looking down, he along with Rizevim and Euclid was surprised to see four gods standing at the foot of the mountain, all four being enveloped in a golden glow as they slowly floated up to eye level with the trio.
"Who are you all supposed to be?"
"Apollon, Greek God of the Sun, Light, Healing, Disease, Plague, Music, Art, Poetry, Archery, Reason, Knowledge, Truth & Prophecy and your grandson." Apollo introduced himself with a bright grin and a flourish, making Hermes roll his eyes as Ares snorted with laughter and Artemis sighed.
"You don't have to give every single one of your titles every time you introduce yourself, Apollon."
"Then how would everyone know how amazing I am, little sis?" Apollon asked with a teasing smile, to which Artemis gritted her teeth.
"I. Am. Older. Than. You!" "Not with that attitude." She just groaned at that as Ares rolled his eyes.
"Well, I guess I'm next. I'm Ares, the Greek God of Violent Warfare & Rage and your second grandson." Ares was the second to introduce himself, taking off his sunglasses and leaving him in his black jeans, combat boots and a crimson muscleshirt with fingerless black leather gloves.
"Hermes, the Greek God of Travel, Trade, Messengers & Thieves and your third grandson."
"And this is Artemis, or Arty as I call her, the Greek Goddess of the Moon, Hunt, Archery, Wilderness, Animals, Forests, Radiance, Maidenhood & Childbirth and your granddaughter."
"Does the buffoon speak for you, woman?" Kronos asked the glaring Artemis, who rolled her eyes.
"Unfortunately, he does this time. Now, surrender and return to Tartarus or face being faded away."
"Heh, do you actually believe you four are powerful enough to stop us?" Kronos asked with a mocking grin, to which Artemis just smirked smugly.
"No, we were just the distraction." Kronos frowned in confusion before his eyes widened as the runic pattern around them was shattered with ease, looking up to see Zeus, Poseidon, Amaterasu, Odin and Gilgamesh slowly floating down towards them.
"…Euclid, get them all here." Rizevim said in a slightly nervous tone as he felt the oppressing aura from five of the top 10 strongest beings in existence.
"Yes, my lord." Euclid said with a quick nod as he snapped his fingers and the gods frowned as five magical crests appeared around them.
"Ah, finally! We get to battle!" A deep voice reverberated across Mt. Olympus as a giant Dragon with three heads and six giant wings crawled out of one of the magic crests, his dark purple scales shining ominously in the light.
"Keep yourself in control, Aži. Prince Rizevim wouldn't summon us without it being a severe disadvantage to him" A handsome brown-skinned man said with a frown as he appeared from another magic crest, wearing pitch black Egyptian vestments similar to that of Pharaohs from Ancient Egypt.
"Oh fuck off with that self-righteous shit, Apophis. We both know you couldn't stand being on standby just like the rest of us." A black Eastern Dragon snarled as it crawled out of its crest, its four wings spreading out wide as its four limbs clawed at the air around it and from its maw dripped a viscous lilac fluid that bubbled.
"Grrraharrr!" The third Dragon to emerge couldn't speak as its magic crest expanded tremendously, revealing it to be nearly the same size as the city of Olympus. Eight heads swayed in unison on its head and tears of blood flowed from its sixteen eyes as it snarled at the gods, more specifically the frowning form of Amaterasu.
"Enough." Crom Cruach's voice echoed across Olympus as he spoke while appearing from the final magic crest in the centre, all four of the Evil Dragons going silent as he stared at Gilgamesh before grinning widely.
"Aži Dahāka, Apophis, Niðhöggr, Yamato no Orochi and Crom Cruach, the five most powerful Evil Dragons in history. Isn't this fun?" Odin said with a frown and Amaterasu hummed.
"Don't forget about Kronos, Rizevim and his servant." Zeus said with a frown as he glanced at Rizevim, whose cocky smirk had returned to his smug face upon the entry of the five evil dragons.
"Athena, Hephaestus?" Apollon asked to thin air as he held a hand up to his left ear.
"Don't worry, brother. We have finished the preparations. We will activate them as soon as you engage in battle." Athena's voice came from his ear piece and he grinned as he nodded, removing his hand from the side of his head before clapping his hands together.
"Then let us not waste any more time, dear friends!" Apollon exclaimed with a cheerful grin before he disappeared, reappearing behind Aži Dahāka with his arms spread wide and the Dragon gasped as giant threads of light wrapped around his throat before the god of light gave a heavy grunt as he heaved and launched the Dragon skywards.
Apophis was quick to counter as he appeared behind Apollon with a fist imbued with a pitch black aura pulled back, the Greek god just giving him a grin before Apophis' eyes widened as he raised his arms in a cross guard, just in time for a barrage of arrows to smash into his arms and sent him flying in the same direction as Aži Dahāka.
Gritting his teeth, he grunted as he swiped his arms out to the sides and shattered the arrows, coming to a standstill next to Aži Dahāka as they both glared at the smirking forms of Artemis and Apollon.
"To think that I'd have to battle alongside you." Artemis said with a sigh as Apollon just grinned and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Oh come now, dearest sister. You know you love to fight with me." Apollon said with a teasing grin before gasping and wheezing for air as he fell to his knees, Artemis pulling her bow back as he nursed his sore balls.
"Never touch me, brother."
"G-Got it." He gasped out as he slowly and shakily made it to his feet while smiling weakly at the two dragons, who were both glaring at them.
"Now, let's get back to the actual battle." Zeus said with a smirk as he appeared in front of Kronos, a pure white plasma blade appearing in his grasp as he swung it at his neck and Kronos frowned as his scythe appeared in his hands and blocked the attack.
Rizevim quickly turned to attack the lightning god, but frowned as Poseidon appeared in front of him, his trident blocking his kick before the Greek God of Oceans grasped his leg and threw him at the ground.
"Lord Rizevim!" Euclid exclaimed as he rocketed downwards after Rizevim before abruptly being stopped in his tracks by a hand grabbing his face and throwing him skywards, glaring at the grinning forms of Hermes and Ares.
"Think he can handle the both of us?" Hermes asked and Ares just grinned sadistically as a mace appeared in both of his hands.
"There is no equality in war, dearest brother. He'll have to or die trying."
"Get out of my way!" Euclid hissed as the temperature around him plummeted, Ares grinning as Hermes adjusted his tie.
"I'll take care of Crom Cruach. I'll leave Niðhöggr and Yamato no Orochi to you two." Gilgamesh said with a smirk as he floated away, Crom Cruach grinning excitedly as he flew after him.
"Ah, to think we could get a chance to fight together after such a short time."
"Ufufufu~ Indeed. It must be my lucky day that I get to punish the beast that sent my brother down his path of destruction." Amaterasu hissed with a smirk as she glared at Yamato no Orochi, who glared back at her as Niðhöggr grinned at Odin.
"Everyone is ready, Athena, Hephaestus! Release the cages!" Zeus shouted and the enemies' eyes widened as a series of runic cages surrounded all of the fighters, the team of gods just grinning before everyone was teleported away.
With Ares & Hermes:
As the light of the teleportation died down, it revealed Hermes, Ares and Euclid floating in the middle of a desolate desert, not a single sign of life around them and the sun burning brightly around them.
"Don't even think of trying to fly away and get back to Rizevim. We're in one of Hephaestus' test dimensions in the Dimension Gap, so it is powerful enough to withstand a blast from Father and receive naught but a scratch."
"Not to mention the fact that the cage won't disappear unless you kill both of us, so your chances of escaping here are very low." Hermes finished Ares' sentence, watching as Euclid gritted his teeth as he glared at then before taking a deep breath.
"Fine. Getting rid of two insignificant pests shouldn't be that hard." Euclid said and Ares scoffed as he readied his dual maces and Hermes held his left hand out, a bright golden glow enveloping his hand before it died down to reveal the shimmering silver form of Caduceus.
With a snap of his fingers, Euclid grinned as a gigantic glacier appeared in the sky above them and was sent barrelling down at the two gods, only for Ares to grin as he swung his maces with a heavy grunt and sent out a disastrous shock wave that shattered it into pieces while also making Euclid grit his teeth as the winds sent him skidding backwards.
Hermes was not far behind as he took a step forward, appearing next to Euclid while swinging his caduceus at his neck, clicking his tongue as a shield of sand rose from the ground and blocked the attack for a moment before it exploded.
Unfortunately, it was just enough time for Euclid to teleport away while leaving a group of small fireballs floating around the God of Thieves, the fireballs quickly expanding to the size of buses and enveloping Hermes in a gigantic ball of heat and gas.
Euclid was not given time to rest as Ares was in front of him as soon as he reappeared from his teleportation, making him grunt and grit his teeth as a mace crashed into his arm and made him tremble as he was sent flying back.
His eyes widened as Hermes appeared out of thin air in front of his flying form, choking as the caduceus crashed into his throat before he raised his hand and quickly got out of it right before the snakes lunged at his neck and bit down on empty air.
He raised his hands before bringing them down onto the ground with a roar, grinning as a sea of fire exploded out from under him in all directions. Not yet finished, he stood up before doing a spinning roundhouse, watching as a large tornado rotated around him and sent destructive winds that fanned the flames and turned it into a scorching hurricane.
Unfortunately, the flame hurricane did not last long as Euclid's eyes widened, watching as it was all snuffed out in the blink of an eye as Ares slashed right through it with a monstrous greatsword right before his world exploded in pain as Hermes appeared behind him and landed a vicious hit with his Caduceus to the back of his head.
Being sent flipping head over heels and completely disoriented, Euclid was unable to keep himself from flying directly at Ares, gasping as a heavy uppercut smashed into his chest and left him wheezing for air.
"Black Partisan." Ares was not done as his maces disappeared and were replaced by a halberd, a black aura overflowing from his body into the weapon before he brought it down with a victorious roar, Euclid unable to give nothing but a silent scream as he was smashed back first into the ground.
A dust cloud hid him from view as he crashed into the ground, Ares leaping out of the crater with a back flip as the halberd in his grasp disappeared while Hermes landed gracefully and silently next to him.
"That should be enough, right?" Hermes asked and Ares didn't answer as he raised a hand, Hermes raising an eyebrow at the hordes of handguns, shotguns, rifles, cannons, RPG's and missiles appearing above the crater before Ares brought his hand down.
Hermes and Ares quickly leapt back as the weapons rained down onto the crater, each bullet imbued with a bit of divine aura as the crater was increased more and more until the crater was nearly dozens of times the size it was previously.
"A little bit overkill, don't you think brother?"
"No such thing as overkill in battle." Ares said with a shrug before an oppressive aura ripped through the air, both he and Hermes alarmed as their heads snapped down to the ground.
A palpable dark violet aura hung in the air around a floating Euclid, who was staring at the ground with his arms hanging loosely in front of him. His suit was in tatters, with him left wearing only the tattered pants and a white long-sleeved dress shirt. His braid was undone, leaving his hair hanging loosely in a mane and as he looked up, both Ares and Hermes were surprised to see his eyes turning completely purple as he glared up at them.
"You two are too high. Kneel." His voice was deep yet silky smooth as he spoke and as he raised a finger, Ares and Hermes noticed his nails having transformed into black claws before they both gasped as a heavy pressure slammed into their shoulders and made them crash into the ground.
"I see. So, this is how our family's true magic works." Euclid wondered to himself as he straightened up before grinning sadistically as a pair of black horns ripped from his skull in a gory spray of blood and wisps of purple mist enveloped his bare upper body, sinking into his skin to graft a series of serpent tattoos on his chest and abdomen.
"W-Well, not quite…the battle I…expected." Ares gritted out with a grin as he forced himself to his feet, Euclid frowning as he increased the gravity only for Ares' grin to widen as he pushed himself further up.
"Y-Yeah, and that…was an Ophis snake, wasn't it?" Hermes wheezed out as he made it to a kneel, grinning at the frown deepening on Euclid's face as he tried to force them lower only for nothing to happen as the greek gods grinned at him.
"Let's show him…how we Olympians do things." Ares spoke as he held his right hand out, a dagger appearing in his left hand before he sliced open his right wrist and golden ichor flowed out. "Yeah, let's." Hermes grinned as he raised his Caduceus to his left wrist, grinning as the snakes on it awoke and bit into his hand.
"Ichor Desmos!" Both Ares and Hermes chanted as both of them were obscured by golden light, Euclid frowning as the light auras cracked before shattering, revealing them now transformed and in new forms.
"Claws of the Nemean Cestus." Ares chanted with a grin as he rolled his shoulders. His clothes had transformed into the shining bronze armour of a Spartan, a crimson plume on top of his helmet and his eyes glowing a dark crimson from under his helmet.
Enveloping his hands were a pair of bronze gauntlets, forged into the form of lion heads with a scar that stretched across the left sides of their faces and glowing crimson eyes.
"Song of the Thieving Serpent." Hermes chanted as he took a deep breath, revealing him completely different as his blonde eyes and blue eyes had transformed into shoulder-length black hair and matching coloured eyes. He was dressed in a black suit, black tattoos above his left eye and under his right eye and covering his hands were a pair of white gloves.
Held in his right hand was a conductor's baton and his left hand was held behind him as he spun the baton in his hand.
"Can we please finish this fast? I detest having to be in this form." Hermes grumbled and Ares chuckled before both fighters scattered as the ground was shattered thanks to a blast of gravity from a glaring Euclid.
"After you, dear brother!" Ares exclaimed as he bolted towards Euclid, dodging orb after orb of heavy gravity and Hermes chuckled softly before he straightened up, his baton held tightly in his hand as he smiled before he softly swung it to the side.
"Final Requiem of a Sorrowful Soul." In an instant, thousands of different musical instruments appeared floating around Hermes, from trumpets to drum sets to violins to pianos to cellos to triangles to saxophones to xylophones to harps and even more.
Euclid was quick to notice the instruments, but as he tried to attack Hermes, a trumpet blew and he gasped as he felt his body weaken, just enough for him not to notice a grinning Ares appearing next to him and land a vicious hook to his jaw that nearly knocked him out.
"Explode." Ares chanted and the gauntlet at Euclid's jaw rung before exploding, the devil sent rocketing through the air before a gigantic orb of water enveloped him.
"First Song: Sea Drift." The violins around Hermes played the loudest and the orb of water quickly shifted to that of a whirlpool of surging water, Euclid unable to tell up from down as the water crashed into his form and continuously tossed him around like a ragdoll.
However, it seemed the devil's rage had reached its limit as he roared, slamming a hand against his head and gritting his teeth in pain as the gravity-enhanced pal sent him flying out of the whirlpool and into the ground.
"Gravity Singularity!"Euclid roared as soon as he pulled himself from the ground, a series of black orbs appearing in the air around him before he sent them flying in all directions.
"Second Song: Caress of a Nurturing Mother." Hermes chanted as the pianos were the loudest of the instruments this time, Euclid gritting his teeth in frustration as the orbs were frozen in place. Light constructs in the form of hands enveloped the orbs in a soft embrace, grasping the orbs with a gentle touch and twisting & turning the gravity orbs on themselves before they were snuffed from existence.
"Third Song: Prometheus." Next to be heard were the flutes and the guitars, Euclid's eyes widened as the heat around him skyrocketed right before a searing inferno enveloped his surroundings. The devils screeched as he tried to push himself out, but every attempt was blocked as the flames warped and wrapped around his limbs, pushing him back into the ground.
"P-Presence of the Demon King!" Euclid exclaimed as he pressed a hand on the ground, gasping as the gravity snuffed out the flames around him while also pressing him into the ground.
"Explode." Ares was quick to capitalize on this as he appeared above the gasping Euclid, the increased gravity helping as a heavy jab had Euclid spitting up blood before the following explosion embedded him even further into the ground.
"Final Song: Memories of Ever Lasting Pleasure." The world around Euclid faded to black, the devil surprised to not feel the following blow as he pulled himself from the ground and looked around.
"Euclid! Will you come out? Father is waiting for us!" His eyes widened at that voice before he turned around, unable to speak at the sight of his beloved sister smiling softly at him, only she was far younger than the one he was used to
"A-A-A trick! This is a trick!" He exclaimed, to which Grayfia just rolled her eyes.
"Have you been playing with Father's potions again? You know how much he hates us in his study."
"S-Stay away, beast! You will not deceive Euclid, the right hand man of Lord Rizevim Livan Lucifer."
"Are you okay, Eucly? Are you perhaps sick?" Grayfia asked with a concerned as she walked towards him and Euclid was surprised to see that he was now shorter than her, looking up in shock to see his horns gone.
"W-What happened to me?"
"You probably just had a nightmare. Now, let's get going before Father comes and gets us."
"T-This is all real? Y-You are actually here?" Euclid asked in shock and Grayfia shook her head before Euclid yelped as she flicked him on the forehead.
"That feels real, right?" He nodded slowly and she giggled before she took his hand and pulled him after her. '
M-Maybe…maybe all of that was just a nightmare. Y-Yeah, this is all-!'
"FIST OF THE ROARING WAR GOD!" And the world around him shattered completely as Ares appeared in front of him from thin air, Euclid stunned silent before being knocked out as a heavy cross filled with hundreds of explosions crashed into his skull and sent him skidding across the sandy dunes.
"Woo! Ares for the win!" Ares cheered with a grin, Hermes rolling his eyes as the instruments disappeared and he was back to his normal self.
"You wouldn't have been able to do it without my help, brother."
"Yeah, yeah." Ares waved his hand dismissively, Hermes rolling his eyes as Ares walked towards Euclid before his eyes widened as a teleportation crest appeared under him and teleported him away.
"…Father is going to be so pissed at us." Ares muttered in shock as he stared at where Euclid previously was, Hermes just groaning loudly as he stomped on the ground.
"Fucking damnit!" He cursed before walking away, the war god following after him as both of the gods made their journey to the exit of the dimension.
At the Same Time:
With Apollon & Artemis:
As the light from the teleportation died down, dark smoke quickly gathered on Apophis' back before transforming into a pair of large bat-like wings, the dragon coming to a still floating in the air as Aži Dahāka stopped himself from barely crashing into the vast forest under them.
"Well then! It appears that I have both of you all to myself!" Apollon exclaimed with a grin as he floated in front of them, his hands on his waist and a golden aura surrounding his body.
'Where's the woman?' Apophis wondered to himself as Aži Dahāka floated up to be next to him, all three heads giving Apollon a baleful glare before the middle head spoke.
"You dare think that you can throw me like that and live to tell the tale?"
"Of course not, but you can't kill me if I just kill you." Apollon said with a grin as he held a hand out in front of him with the palms facing towards them and a bright golden glow began emanating rom his hands before hordes of golden light chains ripped out of his palm and shot towards the draconic duo.
Aži Dahāka's middle head just scoffed as he tapped a claw on the air, a giant purple magic crest appearing on front of them and blocking the onslaught of chains with ease as his left and right head rose up before opening their maws.
Apollon raised an eyebrow at the dark violet glows in the back of their throats before both heads pulled back and let out a deafening roar, bright yellow beams of light shooting towards them.
'That's not light.' Apollon thought to himself as he couldn't feel any light coming from the beams while moving up to dodge them. Instead, he could feel the air around the beams trying to suck him into them as well as the fact that the pressure from the beams was slowly increasing the weight on his shoulders more and more.
With a snap of his fingers, a golden Latin crest appeared under him and he gave a subtle sigh of relief as the gravity disappeared before his eyes widened as darkness ripped from the ground and latched onto his crest, watching as the darkness quickly devoured the crest before sinking back into the forest.
Looking at the two dragons, Apophis gave him a smug grin and a bow before Aži Dahāka grinned as he traced multiple claws across the sky, grinning in glee as hundreds upon hundreds of different magical sigils from every runic language appeared in the air in front of the draconic duo.
"Bombardment." He growled out with a sadistic grin and Apollon had no warning as hundreds of fireballs, ice spears, water javelins, rock bullets, air blades, lightning bolts & jet black energy blasts were sent flying towards him.
"Arty, any time now!" Apollon exclaimed with a nervous smile and there was a moment of silence as the blasts were near him before Aži Dahāka growled in frustration as a barrage of silver arrows were shot from the ground and towards his elemental attack, the arrows exploding in a brilliant blaze of silver flames and destroying the spells.
"Thank us you got it in time." Apollon muttered to himself with a relieved sigh, Apophis frowning at the forest as his shadows couldn't detect a single presence inside of it.
"Don't try and find Arty in the forest. When she's in a forest, she fuses and melds with it, becoming the forest itself and completely undetected to any sort of sensing whatsoever." Apollo exclaimed with a grin ebfore yelping and moving out of the way just in time for a silver arrow to pierce through the air where his groin previously was.
"Stop calling me Arty, idiot!" Artemis shouted from below and Apollon grumbled under his breath as Apophis smirked.
"Then I'll just get rid of the forest." He said with a smirk as the shadows of the trees darkened tremendously before he gasped as a fist coated in light smashed into his gut and sent him crashing into Aži Dahāka, a series of bright orbs appearing inside the forest and completely eliminating all shadows in it.
"To get to Arty, you'll have to get through me." Apollon said with a smirk as he flipped away from the quick jab Apophis tried to hit him with, settling into a basic boxing stance as Apophis frowned before scoffing.
"Fine then." He grunted as a wispy black smoke began flowing off of him, the golden glow around Apollon intensifying before both fighters rocketed towards each other.
"Then I shall take care of th-!" Aži Dahāka was cut off by an arrow piercing through his underbelly, gritting his teeth as he ripped the arrow out before glaring at the ground.
With a quick growl, he created dozens of clones around him, each clone's three heads having a golden glow in the back of their throats before they roared at the ground. The sky was tinted gold as a sea of bright yellow gravity beams were blasted at the ground, Artemis frowning before she smirked as she took an arrow from her bow and pulled it back.
"Let the Hunt Begin." She chanted before she let the arrow loose and in the blink of an eye, one arrow turned to a thousand as the arrows multiplied over and over again, Aži Dahāka's eyes widening as each of his gravity beams were completely nullified by the blazing silver flames of an arrow.
Artemis then smirked as she took out another three arrows before notching them and Aži Dahāka gave a challenging roar as he along with his clones dove down to the ground.
A/N: CLIFFHANGER! Next chapter, the rest of the battles(which will be about seven battles back to back)
Now, I was going to skip this part and just move on with the story, but I decided to just take my time from now on building up the Final War of this fanfiction by showing how strong everyone is instead of just quickly finishing it off.
As always, read, enjoy, review and until the next one…
Ba-Bye~!
