Deimos was moving trough the labyrinth searching for his men.
Now that he neutralized the treath that was Theseus.
They could use the portal to make it back home.
His ship already analyzed it, and the portal was permanent one with his bloodline energy being used.
So there was no urgency.
Deimos was about to make a turn when he heard the gnawing of a beast.
He carefully looked around the corner.
There he saw a carnage.
Honderds of Spartans lay dead on the ground.
Around them hundreds of what looked like subterranean humanoids were feasting on their bodies, and they didn't spare their own comrades.
Everything was food for this swarm.
Deimos reeled with disgust, he had never seen something this vulgar.
Their slimy pale white sacking skin they didn't have eyes or ears just two holes to smell and a mouth full of thing needle like teeth.
Rows and rows of those teeth.
They used them to scrape the flesh of the bones of their victim's.
Long thin claws adorned their hands.
Their body's and mouth were red with fresh blood while dirty yellow blood from their comrades mixed with it.
These creatures were no normal mortal creatures and their bodies were like they were made of metal.
It was already a achievement to kill some of these.
These brave soldiers managed to kill hundreds before the fell and died.
Deimos gave a short prayer for the fallen soldiers before walking into the hallway.
The creatures looked up ready to pounce on Deimos.
Deimos had no plan to escape he was going to kill them all in a frontal assault.
He took his new sword from his waist.
It gleamed with runes and was ready to cut.
The creatures screamed profanity's before pouncing on him.
Rolling over each other to reach Deimos.
Deimos frowned, are these creatures demons?
Else why would they proclaim profanity's upon seeing him.
But of they are demons they are low grade ones.
A dark energy coated the claws of these beings.
It smelled disgusting like the breath of a wild animal like decay and rot.
Deimos slashed the sword forward cutting the head of one lesser demon.
Dark blood spatters on Deimos face.
It burned and ate away at Deimos.
Coming in contact with is own blood.
The two poisenous substances started fighting.
The demonic blood poisening had the upper hand in this exchange.
Deimos frowned he didn't like this one bit.
Luckily for him, his ultra fast healing abilities helped lessen the burden while his body got used to and assimilated this blood blood.
The other demons made it al the way to Deimos slashing their claws at him.
Deimos stabbed and got stabbed.
These claws could even rip trough his fleshly body.
But because of his sturdy construction and extreme healing Deimos didn't fall.
I can even withstand steel weapons purely with my skin but these monsters are capable of lacerateing his skin, and cutting to his bones.
But Deimos could not die unless both his heart and brain were destroyed so he kept going.
Killing these beasts.
He kept fighting cutting and destroying these creatures but they seemed endless.
He finally knew why his men had fallen.
I hope syeinos is fine they seemed to have split up, after a trap was activated.
Deimos slowly made his way forward.
Until he found a crack by the wall.
He could only see this crack because of his watcher's eyes.
He saw a dimension of chaos and carnage.
Deimos pulled his harm back and gave a punch with all his strength.
A shockwave went towards the gap and blew it up together with the surrounding wall.
Deimos kept fighting until all creatures were killed.
But now that the gap was closed and no new creatures came Deimos finished it quickly.
He sat down sweating bullets, even though he kept healing with the vitality from the unknown demension.
He was still fatigued after fighting for hours.
More than 6000 demons were laying dead on the ground.
What were the Minoans thinking experimenting with something as dangerous as portals.
Now I know why everything is abandoned.
They opend a portal to a place they could not handle.
I have to be careful in the future if I ever start experimenting with it.
Deimos stood up taking one demon with him to research once he got to his supposed ship.
"I hope I can find some survivors."
Deimos moved forward until he saw some movement in the distance.
Syeinos and his men were moving downwards with a giant object on a big cart.
It looked to be 10 meters tall and they moved it with care down the labyrinth.
"Your highness here" syeinos called.
Deimos moved towards them.
"What do you have there?" he asked
"Something incredible" syeinos awnserd.
"Let's first move somewhere safe" he followd up.
Alright follow me Deimos orderd.
So the procession follow Deimos down.
When they moved past the battlefield the we're shocked.
They already guessed Deimos had fought something looking at the state of his armour, but they never expected that he fought a whole army of weird creatures.
Deimos orderd to take some more demon bodies in total 107 were taken.
They also burned the bodies of their comrades so that they would not rot away or be eaten by wild creatures.
They moved deeper into the labyrinth until they came to the camber Deimos fought Theseus.
They finally relexed when the gate was closed behind them.
"Now show me what you found" Deimos demanded.
