Tetsuno turned to face the direction of Xell's voice, a soft hiss echoing through the air.
"Why not?" Xell asked, as if he could understand what he was saying. "Am i not aloud to join in the fun?"
Tetsuno made a clicking sound in his throat, then turned back to face Ares, whose body was getting back to its feet, his head reforming layer by layer.
"Haha!" Ares roared. "Yes! That was fun! Give me more! More! Show me what you've got!" In seconds all of the god's previous wounds had completely healed over.
Xell frowned, blowing out a cloud of smoke. There was no easy way to defeat this god, seeing as neither he nor Tetsuno had any sort of sealing abilities. Although, he didn't think Ares did either, so at this rate it would just be a never ending battle. Unless..
Looking over at Tetsuno, Xell couldn't help but wonder if there maybe was a way to defeat this enemy, though it wouldn't kill him, but it would restrain him, maybe.
Xell directed his thoughts at Tetsuno, Archdemons being able to communicate telepathically, and informed him of his plan. Tetsuno agreed, and so it was set into action.
Leaning forward, Tetsuno exploded towards Ares, who struck out his foot to hit him, but the demon spun on his heel, ducking down as Ares spun his arm towards him before Tetsuno leapt over the god's head, grabbing him before planting his feet on the ground and slamming him to the ground flat on his back, their movements faster than natural eyes could follow.
As Ares tried to rise to his feet, Tetsuno thrust his blades into the god's chest and wrapped his wings around him, the sharp edges digging into his flesh and holding him down, unable to move.
"What is this? This is not fighting, this is cowardice!" Ares roared. "Fight me!"
Orange aura began to rise from Ares's body, but as it did a red arrow plunged through him, as well as through Tetsuno.
Ares glared up at Xell. "This will do nothing for you, you are only hurting your ally, I will not be taken down so-" the gods shuddered, feeling his aura begin to dissipate, his Aura Cloak wavering. "What...?"
Just then gold-orange aura began to mix in with Tetsuno's crimson, the pressure around him intensifying as it did. Ares looked down at the arrow, realizing what had happened. The arrow was feeding off of his aura and acting like a wire, leading the energy over to Tetsuno, empowering him. He grit his teeth.
"Well, then let's find out just how much of my aura you can withstand before you collapse!" The ground shook, Ares's aura cloak becoming practically material now as his aura began to glow out freely like an erupting geyser. Tetsuno was thrown back, the arrow removed from his chest and the blades removed from Ares, cutting his flesh as they did so.
Ares held his hand into the air, his aura cloak becoming completely solid as aura gathered around him. A small orb of light appeared high in the air above the god as he smirked.
"How about an experiment?" Ares asked, his eyes locked on Tetsuno. "Let's see if you can regenerate your body when it's been completely burned away!"
The air suddenly became searing hot and the anything that was flammable began to combust as a house sized sun appeared above Ares's head.
Xell raised his arms as his skin began to burn. He backed away, but it didn't matter, he was unable to escape the heat or the blinding light.
Ares lowered his hand and the sun began to slowly descend towards Tetsuno, the ground melting away in seconds as the ball of heat grew closer, but just as it was about to make impact with Tetsuno, it vanished completely, leaving little more than a trail of smoke.
"What?" Ares asked, unable to understand what just happened.
"I'll saying was a cool attack. But not that impressive." Came a voice.
Ares turned to see a young man standing a couple yards away, wearing a black cloak and metal spikes protruding from his body. He looked at Ares with a bored expression, as if he were watching a child trying to walk.
"Tetsuno, Xell. Leave this area, you've done enough, so go now, unless you wanna die." The boy said.
"Yes, lord." Xell said, then vanished. Tetsuno bowed, before jumping off away into the distance.
Ares sneered. "You seriously mean to tell me that you are the new king of hell?" He scoffed. "Lucifer must really have been weak. That or you have a lot of luck."
"My name is Akuro, but you can just call me Death. I've kinda adopted the title." Akuro said.
"Ha! You really think you are tough, don't you? Honestly, you call my Dawn of War weak, yet you can't even control your own aura! It's chaotic and all over the place, it's not even that impressive. I must say, your aura is pretty weak."
"Oh? Really? I thought it was pretty contained." Akuro said, then shrugged. "I guess there is no point in trying to contain it anymore then." He put his hands together then spoke saying, "Release." The earth shook and the ground shattered around Akuro. Ares fell to his knees, his Aura Cloak cracking as he was forced to the ground from the immense pressure of Akuro's power.
A voice resounded in Ares's mind then as he was trying to understand what was happening. It was the voice of Aphrodite.
"Get out of there! Now! Or else you will die! You can't beat him, Ares!" She cried.
