Demeter fell to his knees, his body crushed. The impact was so hard it made him wince in pain.
"You're not strong enough to be my opponent, Demeter!" said Lucifer grinning. He was already near Demeter.
The earth god's forehead frowned. Damn, since when was he in front of me? he thought while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"I think it's time for you to die, Demeter!"
Demeter laughed, "You really like to joke around also--" Before he could finish his words, Lucifer had already lifted his leg, then...
Duuak.
He stepped on Demeter's chest very hard and with all his might. The god of the earth and the fertility of the earth shouted very loudly. "You underestimate me, Demeter!" said Lucifer very annoyed to see Demeter laugh and underestimate him.
"Demeter's!" shouted Zeus, Poseidon, Aiolos, and Hephaistos together.
Hephaistos quickly took action. He took out the fire, and in a matter of minutes, the fire turned into a bow and arrow, the god of fire symbolizing anger shot arrows at Lucifer.
However, Lucifer easily stopped the arrow. He held back then he very quickly reversed the direction of the arrow toward the fire god Hephaistos. Another arrow met another of Hephaistos' arrows, and then it exploded,
Kaboom.
The sound was so powerful that it made a huge fire blaze.
"Hey ... your opponent is here, stupid God!" The Gumiho demon clawed at Hephaistos' face. The scratch wound made blood flow profusely down his cheek.
"Aaargh!" shouted the God of fire in pain. It feels very sore and hot, with blisters. Gradually the wound festered.
"Enjoy your death day, Hephaistos!"
"Bastard! You're going to pay for all of this, Fox!" he shouted while enduring the unbearable pain. He took out his strength while holding his cheek the more it got worse. Hephaistos' attack missed, the nine-tailed fox demon moved so fast. He wagged his tail in the fire god's face.
"Aaargh!" the screams of the god Hephaistos could be heard again. He rolled on the ground, covering his eyes. Apparently, the fox's tail contains poison which is very damaging to the organs of the body affected by the poison. In fact, the poison can kill the victim in seconds.
His eyes reddened, then issued a lot of water. Her tears were no longer clear, but thick white.
"Enjoy your death, God Hephaistos!" said Gumiho starting to pull out his sharp and long fingernails.
"Hephaestus!" shouted Zeus. He then took out his lightning. However, Coyote moves faster than him.
"Fight you here, Zeus! I won't let you ruin their fight!" Coyote tied his hands with his tail. Then pulled and thrown as far as possible.
Braak
The wall of a resident's house was destroyed. Zeus' body was crushed under the rubble of the wall of the resident's house. "As it turns out, the power of the Gods is nothing!" cried Coyote demeaning the powers of the five gods.
"Aaargh!" shouted Zeus rising from the rubble. His eyes flashed, the power of his lightning enveloping his entire body.
Coyote was quite amazed by what he saw, not only that, the demon felt Zeus' power much greater than before. "His strength? So he's hiding his true strength?" he thought shrinking his guts a little.
Zeus' intimidating sharp gaze was directed at Coyote, then his hand began to slowly raise. The lightning all over his body moved by itself, focused on one point, namely Zeus's palm which opened slowly. The lightning also shot away in a very large circle. Coyote panicked when the lightning came towards him, and it was about to scorch his body.
"Danger!" he thought. He tried to move places, and avoid the attack. But unfortunately, the speed of the lightning is much faster than the speed to dodge. "Unlucky!"
The power of the lightning electrocuted him, "Arrrrgh!" he shouted as loud as he could. His body trembled, shaking from the stun that was sent out by the lightning. Not long after, Coyote's body weakened and blackened. A thin layer of smoke was seen evaporating from Coyote's body which had lost strength. He fell, knelt, and finally lost consciousness.
As the first child of King Cronos and Queen Rhea, he felt responsible for the safety of his younger siblings. Likewise, the three bodyguards are assigned by the two parents of the gods to guard their children against the attacks of the demons.
Zeus helped Demeter who was very badly injured. He threw his lightning bolt at Gumiho as he was about to kill him. The demon fox's body was thrown far away until it crashed into several demons and finally fell down.
"Demeter, are you all right?" asked Zeus panicked when his eyes saw the state of his sister.
"Sister, my eyes can't see, and my body aches all over, it seems like the poisons have started to spread to my body," Demeter said in pain, very tormented. He felt his brother's face, his eyes had gone blind.
Zeus observes the Gumiho poison which has damaged the nervous system of his sister's eyes.
"What shall we do, Lord Zeus?" asked Zicon, the chief bodyguard whose strength was on par with the gods. "Apparently, this poison is quite deadly if left unchecked!"
"We can't treat her here! It's too dangerous, and the demons will use the opportunity when they know that Demeter is weak. I also won't be able to concentrate on treating her," Zeus replied. "Like it or not he has to be taken to the sky palace."
"Fine, let me take him, and I'll come back here after making sure Mr. Demeter gets some treatment!" Zicon suggested.
"Good idea, get out of here quickly. I will block the demons so that no one will know about your journey back to the palace, and please tell Your Highness, we need a lot of bodyguards to deal with thousands of demons here."
"Ready to act, my lord!" Zicon lifted Demeter's body which was getting weaker and also turning blue. The poisons had entered Demeter's blood system, and it was visible from the protruding veins that were also purplish-blue.
Zicon started preparing to leave the city surrounded by the desert. Meanwhile, Zeus kept an eye on his surroundings. It was true what Zeus said, Lucifer, Beelzebub realized the thunder god's plan.
"You guys, block him from leaving! Don't let the God of Thunder and his bodyguard get away from here!" Lucifer ordered. Thousands of demons started aiming at Zeus.
Zeus and Aiolos opened their eyes wide. The two of them were getting ready to block the demons from blocking Zicon's way to bring Demeter back to the Sky Palace to be treated.
Then, what will happen to the five gods? Can they survive? And can Zicon bring Demeter to the Sky Palace?
