Tales of the Dead 1 Mortalus Immorta Rises

Chapter 7

I smack my hammer into his chest. Zeus flies into a tree and splinters it into smithereens. He climbs out of the ground and dust of his suit. He then trusts out his hand and a lighting strike hits my chest. I feel the energy flow trough my body. It warms me, like a nice evening shower. I then trust out my hammer and shoot the energy away.

Ares holds his sword before his body. Readying his muscles and breathes in and out. Loki stands before him. Then Loki dashes forward swinging his axe. Sword meets axeblade. Steel to steel. Loki turns around and swings aimed at Ares's other side. Ares simply meets his axe with his sword again. Barely feeling the strain it is putting on Loki, Ares is calmly standing on one spot, blocking one swing after one another. Then he stands out and swipes Loki's hand of his arm with one swing from his mighty sword. "You are a fool if you think you match even a fraction of my skill with combat Scandinavian. Loki holds his stump and smiles. Then the illusion fades. Ares sighs "I am getting tired of your tricks Scandinavian. Come and face me like a man so I can obliterate you." Suddenly a circle of Loki's appears around Ares. Before Loki can even do anything with his clones, Ares appears behind every one for a moment and stabs it trough the heart. All fade except one who dodges the stab. "Surrender now, and I will spare this body. If you try one more trick, I will smite you down with furious anger and you will know who is the god of WAR." A lighting strike blasts the Loki behind Ares getting ready to stab Ares trough the heart. Ares turns around and looks to the unconscious Loki. "Thanks Thor, I will remember this. I will help out Merlin.

I nod to Ares and then duck as Zeus swings his spear at me. We circle around each other, both surging with electricity and holding our weapons. I fake a swing but instead trow my hammer to his knee. Zeus predicts it and dodges my hammer and tries to stab my head, but he gets thrown on his behind as my hammer hits him in the back of his knee as I summon Mjolnir back to my hand. Before he hits the ground I grab my hammer and hit him in the stomach launching him into the ground. Zeus's head lolls around as he appears unconscious. I run away to help the others.

Merlin is holding Hercules in his place with a continuous beam of water shooting out of the palm of his hand. Hercules looks back to Zeus and Thor and then suddenly dashes out of the way of the water and lunges with his hands closed at Merlin to slam him six feet under. Merlin whispers some words and suddenly he sprouts wings and flaps into the air. Hercules slams the spot where Merlin just stood into bits. Merlins sighs. "All brawn and no brain." as he floats out of the reach of those deadly fists. Hercules smiles as Thor's lighting strike hits Merlin in his face. Hercules catches him in a palm and pulls back his arm. "Man, I would not want to wake up if I would get hit so hard to my face." Hercules taunts and then punches Merlin. Just before the punch connects, Mazu is there. She somehow grabs Merlin from Hercules's infinitely strong hand, gliding trough the battlefield on a small wave. Mazu trows him onto the ground and then surfs back to Hercules. "You think I will spare a woman you foolish Indian? I am the strongest man alive." "I know a certain god who thinks otherwise." As she finishes her sentence Hercules can barely get his Nemean lion hide gloves in front of the mad stab from Ares. Ares then proceeds to slice at Hercules so fast that he needs both hands to stop all the attacks. Hercules keeps stumbling backwards as the unstoppable whirlwind of swipes and swings are landing on his gloves.

Seth has summoned lions of his own while dashing out of the helicopters but the Maahes isn't one to mess around. Seth's lions may match his own in size, but he is not only the god of lions, but also of knives. And on that note, he draws to crystal white daggers, made from a godly lions teeth. Sharpened with holy diamond, he dashes forward and before Seth even hits the ground, he needs to create a shield to block the two devastating stabs from the two daggers. Seth lets go of his shield as the two knifes penetrated the shield immediately but stopped just before his face. Maahes rips apart the shield impaled on his daggers. Seth holds out his hand and all kinds of animals start flowing from his hand, taking shape and growing as they crawl to Maahes. Maahes's lions finished ripping apart the godly lion ripoff's from Seth and start helping Maahes slice trough the hurde of snakes, elephants, tigers, dinosaurs, bulls and some other normal animals, but also weird demonized ones. Maahes is fighting up the waterfall of animals, Ares is batteling the strongest man on earth, Mazu is fuck knows where and Thor is being Thor.

At the same time all these gods are fighting with supernatural strength and speed. Jamie is talking with the other reaper. "So, they got you to battle me? My dear Florian, you are an admirable fighter, but there is a reason none of the other reapers never tried to end me. I have taken fighting lessons from Him. So yeah, it's time for me to hand you your ass, on a silver plate with some salt, pepper and a sweet, sweet beating. So ready your face, Or you aren't going to recognize it later."
