The Dark Temple, the East Side Temple—

The "Python" axe bypassed the horizontal sweep of Demos, and after half a circle in the air, it struck at Kareta around her waist.

Demos frowned and waved his right arm. "Whoosh", "Destruction" choked out of his hand, flew into the air and drew an arc and then swung his tail towards "Python Gold". There was a dull sound, and the golden light and the purple-black fire shone together, creating an unprecedented brilliance under the dark dome.

This holy sword, which is forged from Xuanshi and has a lot of aura, does what it does at the first time when it perceives danger is to resist the enemy's attack with his body and buy the most precious time for the acolyte.

"Karet, get moving! I'll go with you!"

While the battle between "Python" and "Destruction" was raging, Demos urged Carette, then pulled her up with a leap and hurried to the terrace.

"Oh!

When Kareta heard him say that to herself, her heart finally steady.

No matter where you go, whether you are alive or dead, as long as the people you care about and cherish are by your side, it is the most perfect and happy ending.

On the opposite side of the terrace is the dark and mysterious space, the other dimension.

Looking at the densely packed Olympus Legion, Kareta gritted her teeth and clenched the "Wavering" Scepter again. Once she and Demos step into another dimension, the Legion's people will inevitably chase after the two of them, so she is fully prepared to fight at any time and break out of the dimension.

Carette would not abandon Demos and return to the Holy Mountain, even if she died, she would die with him.

The platform of Demos was on the edge of the terrace, and his gaze was aimed directly at the goddess of war.

"Athena, you owe me a favor!"

In the face of the vast universe, Demos shouted to the goddess of war, who was at the top of the gods' ranks, and her voice was drumming in the colors of the night, which was particularly loud:

"In return, please protect Karete! I gave her to you—"

The horrified look turned to a shining meteor, slid past Athena's clear eyes and passed away. frowned, but she nodded cooperatively, as if she had foreseen what would happen next:

"Yes, God of Darkness, I promise you. ”

"What are you talking about......"

Hearing this, Karet's color changed, and she turned her head to look at Demos beside her, looking anxious:

"What do you mean...... Don't you want to be with me? Demos, don't give up, you and I will work together to fight your way out!"

“...... I'm sorry, I can only accompany you here......"

Demos looked at her calmly, responding to her panic with a calm expression, and the slow pace of his speech revealed an inseparable sadness.

"Carret, you must go on your own. No matter how difficult that road is, even if it is full of ruggedness and suffering, I believe that your great charisma, full of the power of light, can bring you and your comrades together, fight with you, and welcome the arrival of the bright hour together!"

As Demos spoke, he raised his eyes, and his eyes flowed back to the moon god Artimis, Hades, and Bessephone, and finally landed on Jose's sad face, as if giving them a last-minute entrustment.

"No! let's go together! I can't leave you again, please—"

Carreta tugged at the hem of Demos's garment like madness, and cried and pleaded:

"Don't give up! Demos! Yes, we can kill together, we can be together-"

"Everything...... It's too late......"

Demos stared at Carette and finished speaking, his voice choked slightly. He laughed bitterly, a tear rolling down one side of his face.

A purple-black ball of energy quietly grew from the palm of her left hand that hung low, and Carette was attracted by the dazzling brilliance, but before she could react, Demos suddenly smashed the ball of energy to the stone floor of the terrace.

"Bang-"

In the midst of the thunder and lightning, Karete's vision was messy. She subconsciously closed her eyes, weightless under her feet, and her body fell towards the boundless dimensional space with the broken half of the ground.

"Demos—"

Kareta opened her eyes sharply, clutching a torn placket in one hand.

At that time, she stared at Demos's exposed chest in astonishment, and she was completely unable to say a word.

There is a striking mark on the toned left pectoral muscle, the bright color of blood, the bewitching shape, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the flower of death from hell - the flower of the other side!

Fire branding?

Why...... Will it be a fire branding!?

Karete's mouth opened wide, but her voice seemed to be blocked in her throat, and she couldn't be released in any way.

Demos stood resolutely on the other side of the broken terrace, reluctantly staring at Kareta who had fallen into the Endless Dimension, the woman who had poured his emotions into a lifetime and tasted the love-hate entanglement, with a happy and sad smile on her handsome face. In her dark eyes, her face full of consternation shrank smaller and smaller.

The moment Kareta fell, her body suddenly had support. It was her brother, Athena's attendant, Carmod, who caught up with her.

"Carrete! be careful—"

He grabbed her and led her to the Legion.

"No...... Let go of me—"

Kareta became conscious and began to struggle. The Demos in her field of vision was getting farther and farther away from her.

"Let go of me! I'm going to find him! Brother, let go of me—"

"Get out of here—"

Carmod's arms wrapped around her, immobilizing her in his arms.

Kareta cried, but she couldn't get out, her bleak cry swallowed up by the darkness of the other dimension, making it seem hollow and powerless.

She saw that the broken terrace had been surrounded by layers of black mist, and the dust of the collapsed bricks and gravel, this strange thick fog gradually enveloped the terrace, and in an instant, the entire ruins of the dark temple were enveloped.

"Demos, Demos—"

When his figure was drowned out by the endless black mist and completely disappeared from Karete's field of vision, her heart suddenly seemed to be hollowed out by something.

"No...... No...... Don't-"

Karet's voice grew louder and louder, and the momentum of the struggle in Kamod's arms grew frenzied.

"Don't be stupid, go back with me-"

Ignoring her resistance, Thermod held her down and led her to his own party, shouting at her:

"Didn't you see that he sealed the barrier of the Dark Temple on his own!

"Demos is still in there—"

"It's his choice, he doesn't want to see you again-"

"Don't! let go of me! Demos—"

......

In the East Side Hall -

Cali, the goddess of blood, struggled to move her limbs, prostrate step by step to approach the immobile "python" axe lying on the ground.

Just now, it and the "Destruction" Holy Sword broke away from the acolyte in the air in a desperate battle, the two artifacts were on par, fighting to the death, and in the end, both were defeated, and they fell to the ground one after another when their spiritual power was exhausted, and they no longer showed the slightest sign of life.

Cali stared at the gloomy "Python Gold" with vacant eyes, recalling the scene when it had been inseparable from him since the ancient gods, slaying countless enemies side by side, and unconsciously shed a series of cold tears.

With a scream of "ahh

She was horrified by the copper-colored face reflected on the side of the flat axe, even though she had been through a hundred battles and had seen countless vivid images of flesh and skin peeling.

It took a few moments for Cali to let go of his guts, and he shuddered and reached out with a hand, carefully caressing his scarred cheek.

After the failure of the battle with the goddess Athena, those wounds that had cracked due to the leakage of divine power had been bleeding for a long time, so that now the wounds have coagulated, but countless dark red hard scabs have formed, from the face to the skin all over the body, making those large and small ravines look like a red spider web, extremely cold.

Cali stroked his messy black hair, and his mouth made a "clucking" sound, which seemed to be a sneer at his mockery.

"My face...... My face ......"

Muttering to herself, she bitterly admired her former bright face, delicate skin and long black curly hair.

"Sister......

In the light of fire and dust, the god of darkness, Demos, slowly moved in.

“...... What are you doing here...... You go, go away!"

Cali looked at him in amazement, his voice turned into a hysterical shout of horror and shame, but it was no longer as arrogant and hateful as before.

As a woman, and a woman who loves Demos, she doesn't want her beloved man to see her ugly appearance.

Even if she died, she had to die with great dignity.

Kali quickly picked up the golden axe from the ground, put the sharp blade to his neck, and shouted to Demosway:

"Go away! I don't need you to come back and laugh at me now! You go! Go away! If you don't leave, I'll cut myself off at once—"

Demos didn't say anything, he stood quietly in place, looking at the crazy Cali with a sad look in his eyes.

"Leave! I don't need you to pity me! I don't need anyone's mercy, I don't need your pretenses...... You go...... Hear no...... Hurry up...... I don't want you to see me like this, you don't understand! Why did you want to come back-"

Cali was loud and angry, asserting his dignity in a unique way. In the end, that humble stubbornness was gradually disintegrated by Demos's persistence. Her voice slowly shifted from nervous shouting to ethereal, as if she had just spit it out and then dissipated.

When she was completely quiet, Demos came quietly:

"Sister, the reason why I came back is to accompany you on the road!"

"......! You...... What are you talking about?"

Kali stared at Demos's flat-expressioned handsome face, obviously having a hard time believing his words. Suddenly, her expression changed, she raised her long eyebrows and sneered:

"Huh...... Didn't you just say you were going to run away with that slut? Changed your mind so quickly? Could it be that you couldn't rely on Olympus, and you had no way out to think of coming back?"

"I lied to her when I said that......" Demos told the truth:

"If you don't say that, that stupid girl won't leave here even if she is killed. ”
