After the portal, Argusi had explained my current situation, the gods that were about to show before we ran.
Shiva, Izanagi and probably Amaterasu to end him. She had explained he would stand a chance of taking them one by one, but gods strategy from being proud usually morphed into a cry for help to defeat a certain enemy.
Even if he could defeat all three they would surely have contacted reinforcement and he would have ended up like her in a matter of seconds.
That was why she made him leave. Now she insisted to wait quietly while she meditated to find her powers.
'She said protect me when strange things start to happen.'
Rick hadn't saved her for that reason and now had second thoughts of saving her. He didn't want to be a protector but a murderer that struck fear into the hearts of gods.
"Man this bitch turned me into a babysitter!" Rick frowned even more taking his gaze away from Jade Argusi to stare around the vast land that they were in, it was paradise having such beautiful sights.
"This land should all be in flames." Rick gnashed his teeth wanting to scorch every single flower in the Feild but held himself back, he would be able to do that after Jade was awake.
"Whoa, this is typically the nature of all devil."
Rick froze up at the presence of this other voice, not from Jade but a much prouder and reserved tone.
"A god actually tracked us down?" Without looking back Rick had already figured this from the Mana emitted by the being behind.
WHOOOSH!
Now the might of the afternoon wind had become so loud and interrogative.
"Ksh ish ksh!" Shiva laughed so loudly feeling a vibe up his spine that told him this would be more interesting than he imagined.
"This is good, I really thought I would be looking for you guys one after the other..." Rick tightened his fist a smile arching on his face. "How would you like to be the....."
SMACK!!!
Interrupting his speech a kick struck him on the skull with an amazing force throwing him into the air and dozens of feet skidding on his side on the green grass before flipping himself back to his feet.
Shiva was not the type to talk too much when it came to battles, that was made obvious now.
"I didn't come all this way to talk Devil, I came here to kill you!" Shiva positioned himself in a dancing step, all his four hands in a weird synchrony or whatever he trained them to be "So give me a nice fight."
Rick grinned even more, something about this god made him gratified, his vibe and bloodlust were fun.
'So this is lust, then..... I must use it.'
Rick clenched his two fist watching Shiva closely, he knew so little about him. But the news of his brutality and mad fighting techniques were made well announced. "If I were to win I would need all the strength in me to do so."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! KEKEKEKEKEKEKE! You think I can't feel your presence, I have, ever since I reached the lake of reeds," Shiva held himself with all his hands as though trying to calm his madness which was erupting from him. "You are just like him, Lucifer, you have the same energy, the same power so you will make it as interesting as he did."
Who the heck was lucifer now? Rick Venaton clutched his teeth together, if Shiva knew his powers, that meant....
SHWOOOOM!
In the blink of his eyes Shiva appeared before him launching a knee at Rick Venaton's face.
Rick raised his hands blocking the hit and attacking next by propelling a fist to his face.
Shiva twisted out of the way with a dance step grabbing Rick by the hand and jerking him closer.
"The sins cannot work against me Rick Venaton!" As he whispered this into Rick's ears his eyes shot up in daze. The next thing he knew was Shiva throwing him over his shoulder and hurled into the ground.
SMASH!
"GAHHHHAAAKKKAAHHH!!!" Rick's eyes zoned out as he broke a large hole into the ground bouncing off it like a tennis ball.
ZWISSSH!
The next thing he knew was Shiva planting a kick in his gut that threw him once again into the air falling on his back and rolling several yards off before stopping on his side.
"Shit!" Rick growled his secret weapon discovered so easily at the beginning of the battle. Unlikely, but this guy had pondered at the science of his power for thousands of years after killing lucifer or whosoever that was and now would have countermeasures for all his moves. "I am screwed." The sins were no longer useful here so he had to.....
"Get up Rick Venaton, is this how you are going to end or end heaven!" That was Jade chanting him up, must have woken up from all the noise.
She was right, why was he just lying here when one option didn't worked, he was the Devil of death and tragedy, he should be unstoppable in the world filled with death; hell.
Rick dusted himself up rising to his feet and laying a deadly glare on Shiva. "Now you're dead."
"Come at me Lucifer!"
"It's Rick Venaton, Devil of Death."
