Horus' lifeless body swayed and started to drop. However, it didn't reach the ground; several arms and hands reached out and supported the corpse. Then, they laid him on a nearby bed in a destroyed house.
"How dare you..." I murmured, "How dare you all stay alive and mock me..."
"HOW DARE YOU!!!!"
I shouted as an attack was sent towards them. It wasn't as powerful as the last one, but it was enough to wipe out those repulsive pests.
But, as if the universe was working against me, another attack appeared and cancelled mine.
I jerked my head towards the source, only to see the cat goddess, Bast, standing before me.
"So, you have finally caught up," I sneered, "but you are late, Bast. Horus is dead. Not in the way that I would have wanted him to die, but he's dead nonetheless."
"You have made a lot of trouble already, Set," Bast replied. "Killing two Pharaohs, your two sisters, and many others. It is time for me to put you down."
"Oh please, how many of you, great gods no less, have tried and yet, none of you succeeded. All of you are fools, but I like killing fools; they always make the best spectacles before they are brutally slaughtered."
"We will see in a while."
I lowered my head and remained silent. But, moments later, I suddenly started laughing.
"You won't be able to see anything! Because I will get rid of those eyes of yours and keep them for my amusement!"
"You will do no such thing," the calm voice of Ra echoed as he appeared in front of Bast.
"Your majesty," Bast greeted her father.
"Lovely, the father and his daughter have delivered themselves to me. I shall not refuse this kind offer and will kill you both together," I chided.
Ra didn't waste any more time and he attacked. Bast followed him with an attack of her own, forcing me to be on defense.
I hate to admit it, but this duo was giving me a headache. Indeed, being a supreme god and a great god, Ra and Bast were a force to be reckoned with.
After a few minutes of exchanging moves, Bast suddenly retreated out of my reach.
I looked at Ra and said, "Are you really going to take me on by yourself?"
"You underestimate me, Set," Ra replied. "I am more than enough to get rid of you!"
