Ajax rested his hammer upon his shoulder as he gazed upon Bari, whom he had been fighting for hours on end. " What you have in strength, you lack in experience, I came here to slay men, not children who have never seen death in their lifetime..." Ajax the Lesser monologued, walking away from the son of Telence casually.
Bari's eyes lit up with rage at the man's comment. " I've killed legions upon legions of Lesser men with this armor! You are no different! " The armored man screamed, dashing towards Ajax, only for the ' hero ' of the Trojan war to swing his axe swiftly, knocking the man into the air as if he were a member of Team Rocket....
Hottan raced towards the throne room where Romi had resided, with Seth following swiftly behind him. " I'm going to end this once and- " Hottan's eyes widened as his eyes met the man's.
He wore tiger-skin robes with dark skin, his hands were littered with gold rings that had rare gems erecting from them. However, the most noticeable feature about his body, was a third eye upon his forehead, which glimmered with the rage of a thousand men. The man that stood before him, was the Triclops from Bala, the same man who had taken him out of the fight with one swing of his bronze club.
" Hottan! I sense Odysseus's presence in the floor beneath us, hold Romi off until I can free him! " Seth shouted, firing a magical wave of energy from his palms, creating a large hole on the floor, and proceeding to jump down it.
Hottan froze as he looked upon the figure, moving slowly to circle around him. " Try all you want to defeat me, but the end result will always be the same " The Triclops said, grabbing Hottan by the throat and applying dangerous levels of heat to him, burning his opponent in an intense, searing pain.
" I've been waiting for this for a long time..." Romi continued, walking slowly towards a pillar in the throne room, a grin growing across his face.
" If you think I'm new to the feeling of heat...you're dead wrong " Hottan muttered weakly, memories of the burning garden hitting him like a hurricane as he held back tears.
The trauma was soon interrupted by the Dragon Hybrid's head being bashed against the strong marble pillar that had helped support the very building that the fighting had took place.
Ajax strode into the building, with a grin across his face as his eyes met the hole in front of him. " What have we got here? " The Lesser asked, jumping into the crack that had formed in the palace.
A messenger had arrived to Romi's side as he brutally beat Hottan. " My Lord, The people are getting restless, they want answers to the chaos that is unfolding! " The messenger shouted, followed by a sigh by the Triclops.
" It seems I must resort to much more primitive tactics then.." Romi answered, casting the warrior away as he gazed upon the messenger.
A wave of magical energy suddenly sent Ajax out of the hole, with Seth and Odysseus ascending from the hole on a magic platform, with Hottan weakly crawling onto it. " Dispose of them, Ajax " Romi commanded nonchalantly, as the warrior from the Trojan War dashed from the ceiling and knocking the lot away with one fell swoop of his hammer.
The Usurper King then walked to his throne and kneeled to it, and brought his hands together in a prayer. The figure closed all three of his eyes and bowed his head before the mural that stood behind his throne.
" Grandfather, protect me from these invaders that seem to wish to destroy everything I've built...." Romi pleaded, and the ground began to shake violently as he said these words....
