Chapter Twenty-Six: Cali's Counterattack
What exactly should we do now?
Kareta stared at the crystal ball in Demos's hand, pondering in her heart.
Demos is too scheming, his mood is up and down, he knows my thoughts well, but I don't know him at all. Should I trust him? If I refuse now, will he still refuse to let me go when he really fights against the Holy Mountain and takes power? Even if I was with Jose at that time......
Why, on the other hand, every time you decide to devote yourself to Jose, these unexpected things arise......
Kareta stared at the crystal ball with suspicion, and a cold sweat broke out in her struggles, but she didn't notice the breath rushing towards her side.
"Karete—"
Demos struggled to push her body out as he screamed, causing a murderous attack to crash into a concrete wall, and the solid wall suddenly grinned into a smoking trench.
"Stinky girl, count yourself as fast as you dodge!"
Kali, the goddess of blood, appeared on the spot in a red dress, holding a "python" axe in one hand and holding the crystal ball snatched from Demos in the other.
It was a facial feature dominated by extreme hatred, especially the two purple eyes, which used to be pure and distinct in color, but now they were cloudy, with only a strong thirst for slaughter and a bloodthirsty ferocious desire, tangled and intertwined to form a huge tide of ice and waves, engulfing Karete's entire body. Caught off guard by the surprise attack, Cali once again raised his axe in the air.
In Karete's pair of terrified pupils, the image of the golden axe falling from two points swelled and swelled, occupying her entire gaze in an instant.
A sharp and piercing collision rang out, pricking the eardrums of the gods present. In a flash of flint lightning, Kali's attack was separated by an invisible shield, and the powerful reverberation pushed her body backwards, slamming to the side.
When she was able to stand firm, she felt that her arm was already numb and sore. Looking up at Demos, her eyes were full of hatred.
"I have voluntarily returned the Athena Jewel to Carreta and let her go. ”
This gem is the key to helping the Dark Clan control Titan's supreme authority, and I will not allow anyone to mess with its ideas!"
Demos's calm explanation annoyed Cali even more, and she let out a high-pitched frenzied scream. Demoston's face changed.
"I've heard enough of this! You care so much about this stone, and you'd rather believe in its power than me! Sooner or later, I'll have to fight Zeus face to face, without borrowing any external force!"
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Kareta pestered him again, her expression serious and anxious:
"You're still determined to plot a coup d'état? You haven't completely changed your mind? What is your performance just now? Wolf ambition, it seems that no one can change you, you are no different from those hypocritical gods-"
The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and every word turned into an aggressive knife that slashed at Demos's heart, completely ignoring the melancholy that he had hidden in his eyes.
Saying that, Careette stopped looking at him, raised her hand and volleyed out the weapon "Huilan" scepter, followed by a straight stab, and attacked Kali with a sharp tail spur.
Cali spun around and dodged the attack, her large fiery red skirt swinging a seductive blood-colored flower on the ground. With a wicked smile, Cali suddenly turned into a rainbow light, and sped through the lattice glass door of the café towards the sky.
Carette ignored it, and was about to use her skills to chase after her, but was stopped by Demos, who was afraid that her reckless actions would bring disaster to herself.
"Stop chasing, you're no match for her!"
"Don't worry about it! Speaking of which, you're not with Cali yet! Tell you, I must take back the Athena Jewel! If you want to plot and rebel, I will be your enemy for the rest of your life!"
She impulsively shook him off and disappeared from her figure.
As if her pride had been hurt by Carret's ruthlessness, she was stunned for a moment in the direction of her aura dissipating before Demos came back to his senses. A wave of ripples surged up in the dark night eyes, full of pampering care, and with a slight shake of his head, he sighed softly:
"What a stupid girl who doesn't know the depths. ”
——
Above 10,000 meters in the sky, the floating clouds are curling and silent, and all the scenery on the ground has long been faintly gone. Far away from the hustle and bustle of human life, it shows more and more the sacredness of this space like a fairyland.
In this turquoise color, two figures, one light and one dark, stood against each other out of thin air, each holding the blade in his hand. The air was filled with a sense of tension in the silence, which shook the clouds of the past, and for a while there was no sound of absconding.
Kareta felt as if Cali was deliberately looking forward to her arrival, because the moment she appeared, the killing intent of the pair of purple eyes was even more awe-inspiring. Needless to say, Kari attacked first, his sharp axe blade slashing at Karet's air.
Kareta was extremely dexterous in maneuvering and dodging, not daring to directly take on the opponent's attack, although "Huilan" could not be equated with an ordinary weapon, but the last time she was sharpened the experience of being sharpened, she was a little afraid to think about it.
For Karetta, the battle was truly a fierce battle like never before. However, seeing that her opponent Kali wielded the weapon with one arm and held the crystal ball firmly in the other hand, no matter how skillfully her body flickered and moved, the round and smooth object never fell from her hand, which showed the combat power of the Goddess of Blood.
Dealing with this powerful deity, Kareta decided to fight quickly, and once she ran out of tricks, she would inevitably suffer. So she swung her scepter sharply, and the momentum was as tight as a momentum, dancing with fluorescent dots, and her fierce aura was unstoppable, like a bright meteor in a cold night.
In the canopy, the gold and silver rays echo each other, sometimes flashing, sometimes twisting into a ball, dense turns, layered like a big net covering the sky and the sun. Where the weapons met, the sound of whistling rose and fell, shocking the clouds.
The air pressure suddenly became dull, like a huge magnet with a dense gravitational pull that was attached to Karet's internal organs, trying to force these organs out.
Cali was still at ease, and before she could withdraw her staff, she quickly returned her hand and slashed at it with an axe. The blade qi rushed into the air, rolling and hissing towards Karete, unavoidable, unstoppable. She changed color in vain, and was about to cry out loud, when a force suddenly grabbed her body and pulled her away in time, falling into Demos's arms.
"Remember, you must not allow yourself to be hurt under this kind of barrier!"
As if to make a deliberate reminder to her, he struck at Cali sideways as he spoke, like a goshawk mediating prey. At the same time as he took the palm, the sharp sword "Destruction" that appeared from his hand pierced the atmosphere and instantly resisted the attack of the golden axe.
"That's it for today! Retreat! How many more times will you disobey me before you give up?"
Demos accentuated his tone, but in the face of Cali, who was burned mad by the flames of rage, he knew that authority and command were not enough.
Sure enough, she snorted gloomily, and words full of hatred immediately threw out of her mouth:
"Don't think about it! I want her to die! I want you to watch her die!"
After a strange laugh in the sky, her nerves became more and more excited, and she raised her wrist to pull away the blade of her sword and fight with Demos.
The grievances and indifference that she has endured for a long time, she wants to repay them all to him today!
Kareta stared at the two of them, unkempt, with other plans in mind.
Now that Cali and Demos are in the thick of the battle, it seems that there is no time to care about the Athena Jewel, and this is a perfect opportunity...
Thinking of this, Kareta jumped at Kali with a volley, desperate to grab the treasure. Cali swept with her axe with composure, and just as Kareta was about to meet her staff, she suddenly raised her elbow and struck the long handle of the golden axe on the head of Demos, who was slowed down by Karete's distraction. With a low groan, his body plummeted into the air.
The disc at the head of the "Huilan" staff suddenly shone with a dazzling light that obscured Cali's vision, and as her body tilted, the crystal ball in her hand came out of her palm. Snapping her eyes open, she caught the crystal ball again and used a spell to conceal it in her body. But then she was shocked by the scene in front of her-
Kareta actually gave up the crystal ball that was close at hand in the last moment, and chose to fly down quickly into the sky to catch Demos who had fallen into a fainting situation.
She grabbed one of his arms, but the strength of one palm was obviously not enough, she simply took the scepter, and dragged him with both hands to move it upwards with great difficulty, and the constant call in her mouth sounded extremely anxious
"Demos, wake up! It's not time to go to bed yet, and we'll all be crushed if we continue like this!"
"Throw him down!"
Cali turned behind Carette and commanded in a stiff tone, "It's all his own carelessness to get hurt, and he deserves to fall to his death!"
"Never!"
Carette spat out the word crisply, just like her stubborn character—unequivocal and indestructible.
"He once saved my life twice, and now it's too unpleasant to let it go! Because you are still his closest sister, how can you abandon your siblings and ignore such a heavy hand..."
"Brotherhood..."
Cali repeated softly, as if his heart had been stirred by something, and his cold expression faded slightly, revealing a little desolation.
"No matter how deep and thick the brotherhood is, it will be diluted because of your existence..."
She silently looked at Kareta who was still struggling, and her anger was like a mountain of turbulent waves, wave after wave, constantly surging and slapping at her heart.
She knew very well that if it was not Demos's arm that Carreta had grabbed at that moment just now, but she was happy to miss the crystal ball, her hatred for her would not be as strong and strong as it is now!
Purple eyes flashed, cold as snow in the harsh winter season.
"Demos said you must not get hurt here, do you know why?"
She smiled grimly, lifting her axe and dropping it like sharp scissors across silk, her movements moving smoothly.
A scream streaked across the sky, perhaps so poignant that Cali felt creepy when he heard it.
Demos struggled to open his eyes at this terrible shout, and in the dimness he saw a bright fire burning on Carette's back, which was particularly brilliant and striking, like a festival flower blooming poignantly behind her.
Kali's axe was not very forceful, but it only made a hole in Karete's back with the blade of the axe, but the special air pressure caused the blood to immediately turn into a flood that burst the embankment, and the sound continued to gush out of the wound, and the momentum intensified. Kareta still clung to Demos's arm, refusing to slacken.
"Karete, Karete—"
Carrete's exclamation brought Demos to his senses, and he leaped to his feet, hugging her squishy body in the air.
The nerves around Kareta were struck by a bone-wrenching pain, and she was speechless, her face full of tears, and her lips trembled one by one.
Her cheeks turned a little pale in Demos's hands, the red blood tingling his eyes, her intense gaze of begging and survival piercing his heart. He no longer cared about the dangerous situation and the opposing opponents in front of him, but used all his magic to stop the bleeding from the wound on her back.
"Listen! You have to hold on, Karetta! Hold on! You've fought against the Orals Molyre, you've endured the Soul Splitting Spell, and the pain is nothing! Open your eyes!
"Don't waste your efforts, you should know the lethality of 'Python Gold', let alone under this kind of enchantment! What Helen and Posseton didn't do, now that I have done it, this slut should have died a long time ago!"
Cali indifferently looked at Demos, who was motivating Karette while casting spells, and said the cursed language slowly and proudly, revealing each syllable with mellow elegance. To Demos, her voice was more like the death knell ringing in the middle of a cold night, and the low, suppressed accents resounded in the air one after another, and they also hit his heart one after another.
"I never wanted to hate you, because you were the only one who didn't give up on me in my most frustrated moments, so I never restrained your actions too much. And yet today, your viciousness and stupidity have taught me to start hating you ......"
Demos was still focused on the healing of Kareta, his eyes didn't want to lift more, and his cold tone revealed extreme disappointment, instantly subduing all of Kali's arrogance.
Hate you...
His voice rang in Cali's ears, and she calmed down, and then watched with silence as Demos sped off the ground with the unconscious Carette in her arms—
