Danmachi SI-The Silence's Heir

Part 28

Chapter 28

DINOYSUS-Enyo

Demeter watched as the Goddess of the Harvest folded onto herself as he sauntered towards her and seeing her cower in fear at his gaze, made him shiver with excitement. It seemed he had trained her well.

Demeter was the scapegoat he had chosen, to hideaway his identity as Enyo. He had blackmailed her using her children's lives as leverage, and what a fool she was to compromise on her own free will just because of some human children.

Ahh, the irony a Goddess debasing herself just for some useless human children. Though, in a way she was similar to Freya, though a lot more docile and harmless.

This was why the lower world amused him as much as it did.

"What do you think you were doing?" he asked sweetly and saw her tense up as he placed he gripped Demeter by the chin, and looked her in the eye.

"Were you trying to compromise my identity to that boy?" he asked sweetly, as Demeter paled in worry.

"No," she answered in a quivering whisper as she looked down.

"It was him, he asked me. I denied i..." she tried t make excuses and though he knew them to be true, he smiled internally as he saw her panic and loose herself.

"You lie!" he thundered, and saw her body begin to quiver as he smiled, as he wiped off the smile off of his face and saw her eyes widen in fear.

"Please, don't. I beg you. Not my children. I will be better. I will make sure that he does not suspect..." and that boy was a problem. To have figured out as much as he had, about Ishtar familia, about the Ikelos familia and now even reaching upto one of his last covers, of Demeter.

Inumaki, that boy was moving too fast.

Though, it wouldn't really matter too much now would it? Given what Ishtar had planned for him and his little cohort of assosciates. They would learn soon.

But Demeter was a problem, she had nearly cost him the whole plot. And so she needed to be punished, and so he looked her in the eye and spoke the very words that he had broken her with in the first place.

"Now, my dear Demeter. Why don't you smile..." and as soon as the words left his mouth, he saw her still as those lips turned up in an ugly smile.

"ENOUGH!" but before he could continue, a calm and cold voice stopped him in his tracks, as anger rose in his heart as a cloaked figure emerged from behind him.

"That is enough, Dinoysus," and he straightened up as Demeter's eyes widened as she turned towards the cloaked figure, who was flanked by a giant easily recognisable all over Orario.

"Freya," Demeter gasped, as the one person Dinoysus feared the most in the city stepped forward with her familia's ace, Ottar behind her.

"It is not what you think..." Demeter tried to speak up, but one look from Freya, and the Goddess of the Harvest stopped.

"I know everything, Demeter," and the said Goddess's eyes widened at those words.

"You do," Demter gasped, as she fell to her knees.

"Stop this. I beg you. Stop him. Stop this madness!" she begged the Goddess of beauty who looked on imperiously, before opening her mouth.

"I am afraid I cannot...."

GOJOUNO KAGUYA

"AGHHH!" Kaguya grunted in pain as her back hit the wall once more, and her sword fell down from her hands and clanked onto the ground.
