Chapter 50

SPIDER LILY

Ajax Draven's POV

Poseidon's eyes glowed intensely. Para bang nakikipagtagisan ito ng liwanag sa araw. Hindi pa siya nauubusan ng lakas, pero kaming dalawa ni Deion, parang kaunti na lang at bibigay na. Kung hindi lang dahil sa natural vigor, siguro ay kanina pa kami nakalupasay rito sa sahig ng plaza. Pero hindi pa pwede, hindi pa pwede hangga't hindi pa namin natatalo ang dalawang diyos na 'to.

I looked up when I heard the clouds grumble. The bright sky a few seconds ago was now filled with dark clouds. The wind is howling, and everything is becoming cold. From the sky, I saw Zeus being illuminated by a gold light, but my mother and father are now covered by an intense amount of their vigor.

When I shifted my gaze on Poseidon, I saw how his eyes turned like it was a raging sea. His sword glowed and became a trident, and just like Zeus, a gold light is covering his whole body. The pressure and the power in this area is nerve-wracking, but I should not be overcome by this.

Kung akala ko'y malakas na siya kanina e nagkakamali ako. He struck his trident to the ground, and the ground started shaking harshly. Seconds have passed and it's like he doesn't plan on stopping this.

The ground started breaking. I was lucky I still have my wings. I flew upwards and watched as the ground broke in two. The break was so deep, and the buildings, trees, and everything on its way were thrown inside. What the hell is wrong with this deity? Isn't he thinking about the people? The gods really are selfish, powerful creatures who want only what's best for them. They didn't care about their people's safety, they only cared about their wellbeing. Things like this made me realize that powerful beings would never care even if the world behind them is falling. As long as they live, and they have power, they would not throw a glance. But they are willing to sacrifice every life they can sacrifice just to save themselves. What a bunch of selfish jerks.

The earthquake stopped, and so as the parting of the land. With another strike on the ground, water started rising from the huge gap created by Poseidon. I flew down, and Deion did the same.

The god of the seas looked at me and smirked. He opened his arms and his feet were lifted off the ground. "Trident of the waves," he said, and his voice echoed together with the voice of his brother. "Bolt of the heavens."

"Destructive tide, raging splash."

"Lightning of the Elysian garden, fall."

Then, the heavens and the earth responded to their calls. Everything turned dark and cold, like everything screamed death. I gulped as I looked at Deion whose eyes, like mine, have different colors as of the moment. He has this serious expression on his face, but it softened when his eyes met mine. His hair was dancing with the raging winds. He held his hand open, like he was waiting for me to hold it. And so, I did. As soon as my hand touched his, I felt an overwhelming amount of power from him. Then, everything around us bloomed. An excessive amount of power was circulating in my veins. I can feel so much magical power in me as I see crystal blue streaks of light coming from both my eyes.

Deion's eyes were now both crystal blue in color. And amidst the dark surroundings, it shone with mine. When we broke contact, the ground around us shattered as he flew upwards, and I dashed to where Poseidon was standing. I held my blade tightly as I met his trident. The collision made the waters around us rise. Then, he tried overwhelming me with multiple blade thrusts, but I was able to deflect them all. I jumped backwards and used my wings to stabilize my foothold.

'Azrael: Soul gripping chain, penta.' Five chain-like whip made up of the vigor of death sparks out of my sword as I dashed towards Poseidon. My spathi hit Poseidon's and it made a huge impact. The chains surrounded him, and gripped him tightly. Pero nabitiwan ko rin ang espada ko nang maramdaman ang tubig na gumagapang paakyat sa katawan ko. Hindi ko naramdaman ang pagkapit nito sa akin, at ngayon ay hindi ko na maigalaw ang kalahati ng katawan ko na nakakulong dito.
