Lord Perseus: Rise of the Saints

Cancer Deathmask

3rd Person P.O.V

"The Cancer Temple is right in front of us" Seiya yelled running up the steps leading to the fourth temple. 

"Leave this temple and its knight to me" Shiryu said walking forwards "the three of you should head straight to the next temple".

"What?" Shon said in shock at what she was hearing.

"Where is the Flame Clock right now?" the Dragon Knight asked.

Seiya looked back. "About to change from Gemini to Cancer" he said. 

"Which means we only have nine hours to work with" Shiryu responded.

"You're going about it the wrong way" Magnus argued "nine hours is more than enough". 

"Seiya!" 

"If you start letting the pressure of everything we're doing get to you, your going to feel cornered and start to panic" Seiya said. 

"He's right you know" Magnus said "we have to stay focus on what needs to get done next" 

"Fine" Shiryu said heading into the temple.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Cancer temple was dark and foggy, difficult to see. 

"What's up with this place? This temple feels like it came straight out of a horror film" Seiya said. 

"It reeks of death in here" Magnus said "I can't sense any cosmo".

"My chains aren't picking anything up either" Shon said.

"It honesty feels as if we walked straight into a huge tomb or something" Seiya spoke.

"Or something" Shiryu agreed before a crack alerted him below him."Wait a moment!" he said.

"Something wrong?" Shon asked. 

"I think I stepped on something rather strange, look at my feet" he said. 

The three bronze knights looked down and nearly threw up. "What the Hell!" Seiya yelled "it's a disembodied head!". 

"What? You can't be serious, how the hell is that possible?" Shiryu asked not wanting to believe Seiya's words "what does that look like? Is the head coming out of the floor".

"There's way more than just one" Magnus said looking at the temples floor "the whole floor is covered in them". 

"And it's not just the floor either" Shon said observing the walls "their on the walls,the ceiling. The faces of the dead. They're popping out all over the place. This entire temple is made from the corpses of the dead".

Dark laughter alerted the knights. 

"Do you like my decor brats" the gold saint asked. 

"It's Deathmask!" Shiryu yelled in anger.

"Heh, its been awhile Shiryu" Deathmask said. 

"Wait is this that Cancer Deathmask you've mention?" Seiya asked.

"Yes this man knows the truth about Pope Ares, yet he insists on staying loyal to him like a dog. He's a disgraced to all the gold knights" Shiryu spoke, his words showing his anger.

"Still a brat that likes to talk trash" Deathmask said "your pitiful faces will soon be an addition to my temple".

"Oh yeah?"

The faces from the floor started to rise above from the ground and face the Bronze Knights direction. "All the faces you see here, all of those are my personal kills. Their spirits are unable to find peace and pass beyond so they spend eternity trapped within the Cancer Temple" Deathmask explained  "just look at the anger expressions, dying here is a painful experience that extends into the afterlife. The way I see it, faces are trophies. They prove I am the ultimate victor! This is why they call me Deathmask!".
