-------------------------------

ME and Kratos prepared in our stances. This place's fumes were powerful enough to corrode my Ki and make me consume more to sustain the thin veil of Ki that I put around my body like a second skin. It was invisible but effective in warding off the petrification from these Monsters.

Kratos was also using his Divine energy as a thin veil to protect from the petrification. We were going for a showdown. The land was scarce around us. So there was not enough space to manoeuvre around us.

The monsters' blood also had the property of corrosion. Really troublesome. I started to slowly walking forward, whilst withstanding the onslaught of monsters coming at me. A gorgon whipped its tail at me, at the same time a Gargoyle came from above whilst a reptile came biting my legs. I formed my Ki blades and started to choppy chop all of them.

The Gargoyle actually evaded the attack bu the Gorgon and The reptile weren't so fortunate. I literally sliced the tail of the Gorgon and the head of the Reptile clean off. Speeding up, also cleanly sliced off the Gorgon's head. The Gargoyles were a pain to deal with. I could make Ki wings to fly maybe but then the energy consumtion will too much.

Kratos on the side, was going full Mortal Kombat style. Just with his fists and legs. He was kicking and punching, sometime, ripping off heads and spines. This guy's fighting style was brutal. I liked a clean and efficient style more.

I saw, how Kratos just grabbed a Gargoyle and ripped it wings off and threw it at the other monsters. He literally ripped the head of a Gorgon and threw it at a Gargoyle like a projectile. Bringing the Gargoyle down for an onslaught as well.

I focused on my own fight and kept slaughtering. The onslaught of the monsters was never ending. We slowly made our way towards the core of the area. The land below us was disappearing more and more. Kratos just got on the back of a Gragoyle and started using it as a steed to cross and just killed other gargoyles that came in his way.

Taking inspiration, I also got on top of a Gargoyle after I kicked a head in its body, making it come down. Taking flight, I just used death beam to kill Gargoyles coming my way. "You,You,You, Die will you please yeah". Ramsay style.

When we were getting close to the centre on the way, we encountered a big blob like thing. It was squirming around and was made of purely flesh. It raised a part like a tentacle towards us, i just shielded me and the Gargoyle with Ki but it looks like we will have to fight it.

This thing ain't that hard to take care of. I just made concentrated Big Bang and fired it, making it blow up. Fumes rose from that blob and spread around us. 'Fuck'. That was all I could think of before the fumes covered me and Kratos. They were corroding the shield that I had erected. I quickly made a shield around Kratos and me and kept pumping Ki into it.

When we crossed the fumes covered area. All the Gargoyles that were following us, just dissolved into puddles and dripped down to the ground. A truly disgusting sight. I just looked straight and urged the Gargoyle below me to fly faster.

The area to step on had literally, all but disappeared. Making me glad that I had followed Kratos and just upped a ride on a Gargoyle. We had probably reached the core area of the Land of Grieve. As we were going deep inside there. I saw a massive platform that had a temple on top of it.

Kratos looked a bit happy looking at that platform. I knew, he had some connection to that platform. He just looked at me and gave me a signal. Without any more thinking, we went straight to the temple.

the temple looked like a typical Greek temple. White building with massive pillars and a marble floor. It was a bit dilapidated but otherwise, didn't lose any of its charm. As we walked inside the temple, it was covered with dust all over. It is ridiculous to think that is such a temple in the middle of nowhere.

We got to the middle of the temple and there were actually to blades with chains sealed on a podium with Greek runes all over them. Zeus and his dumb ass, who puts the weapon of the enemy, where they seal them.

Literally, he sealed Kratos in the Underworld and also put his weapon, the blades of Chaos in the underworld. I mean, they are quite hidden. Considering, this is the land of Grieve and in the middle of nowhere. Kratos might have never even found them. But Plot-armour is a thing.

(Oi Vegeta, no breaking the 4th wall)

"Yes, sir".

'Hmm, so as I was thinking. What was it again'. Not remembering, what I was thinking, I just shrugged my shoulders and looked at those blades in front of me. Kratos slowly walked over to them with his usual grumpy face and tried to grab them. Which, not surprisingly, got him a backlash.

He again started to grab them and this time did not let go. " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA". With a loud shout, he ripped the blades off, from the seals. Earning the both of us a massive blast, I quickly materialised, Ki wings and took flight, not caring about the Ki consumption right now.

Once outside, I looked for a gargoyle. Finding them, I quickly went towards it and took it as my steed again. Kratos just used his blades to get another one and rode the gargoyle. He was truly way stronger with those blades in his hands. Fists might be good and all but those blades were just his style.

Now, we are fully geared up to leave the Underworld.
