Chapter 25

"Yoouuu haaavvveee faaail!" The giant beast shouted at Zadre as he hold him tightly in his hands. Surprisely, the giant haven't kill or swallow him.

"Put me down, beast!" Zadre shouted after slowly regaining his strength to talk again. "....my dragon, where is my dragon?" Zadre shouted at the beast.

"Yoouuu haaavvveee faaail!" The giant moved his mouth closer to Zadre and shouted. "Damnit! Now i have just smelled something more digesting that hell." Zadre said and immediately started to move his hands. 

"Put me down beast!" Zadre shouted and try to use his rage to break himself free from the giant grip, but he's powers ain't strong enough yet to break himself free. 

"Arrrhhh!" The giant moved around with Zadre still in his palms as Aphrodite continuously stab the soft spots in it's body. 

Aphrodite who is a wise goddess, fly around the giant with her peacock and then cut it's weak spots, starting from his tail down to the back of his neck. The giant who felt the pain from Aphrodite attacks moved around with his axe on his other hands so that he can get a clear view of her and strike.

"Come oh...i am right over here." Aphrodite shouted as she flies straight towards the giant face. "Yoouuu haaavvveee faaail!" the shouted as raise it's huge axe to hit Aphrodite who was flying directly towards him. "Yes! Open that filthy mouths of yours." Aphrodite quietly said and she flies towards the beast face, even though he wants to strike her.

"Stop! Stop! You beast." Soul voice came out of no way as he flies close to the beast while riding one of the mystical creatures who wanted to hold a while ago. "What is that mortal doing, she us going to ruin my plans." Aphrodite said as she sees Soul flying at the beast while shouting intensely to get it's attention.

".....Stop! Look over here you beast." Soul shouted again as she wave her hands. "Yoouuu haaavvveee faaail!" The beast say again as he turn his attention away from Aphrodite and looked at Soul. This ruined Aphrodite plans because they were no direct pathway that could give her an eazy access into the beast mouth.

"Yes! Look over here you beast!" Aphrodite shouted and waved her hands. "Wow! Wow!" She shouted in fear after almost falling down from the creature she was riding. "....that was close." Soul said as she hug the neck of the creature and slowly sit up. "...Yes! Look over here." Soul shouted again after realizing that she have finally caught the attention of the giant beast.

"No! No! No!" Aphrodite yelled after the beast draw it's attention from her to Soul. "That Mortal have totally ruined my plan. DAMNIT!" Aphrodite shouted and rides her peacock towards soul.

""Yoouuu haaavvveee faaail!" The giant beast shouted at Zadre as he hold him tightly in his hands. Surprisely, the giant haven't kill or swallow him.

"Put me down, beast!" Zadre shouted after slowly regaining his strength to talk again. "....my dragon, where is my dragon?" Zadre shouted at the beast.

"Yoouuu haaavvveee faaail!" The giant moved his mouth closer to Zadre and shouted. "Damnit! Now i have just smelled something more digesting that hell." Zadre said and immediately started to move his hands. 

"Put me down beast!" Zadre shouted and try to use his rage to break himself free from the giant grip, but he's powers ain't strong enough yet to break himself free. 

"Arrrhhh!" The giant moved around with Zadre still in his palms as Aphrodite continuously stab the soft spots in it's body. 

Aphrodite who is a wise goddess, fly around the giant with her peacock and then cut it's weak spots, starting from his tail down to the back of his neck. The giant who felt the pain from Aphrodite attacks moved around with his axe on his other hands so that he can get a clear view of her and strike.

"Yoouuu haaavvveee faaail!" the shouted as raise it's huge axe to hit Aphrodite who was flying directly towards him. "Yes! Open that filthy mouths of yours." Aphrodite quietly said and she flies towards the beast face, even though he wants to strike her.

"Stop! Stop! You beast." Soul voice came out of no way as he flies close to the beast while riding one of the mystical creatures who wanted to hold a while ago.

Soul said as she hug the neck of the creature and slowly sit up. "...Yes! Look over here." Soul shouted again after realizing that she have finally caught the attention of the giant beast.

"Yoouuu haaavvveee faaail!" The beast shouted, and raised it's axe to attack soul. "Shit! I didn't think this through!" Soul shouted as she sees the beast raising it's axe to strike her. "Please work, please work." Soul said as she stretch her hands at the beast hoping any magic blast would come out of her palms. "Work! Why isn't it working?" Soul ask in frustration after repeatedly trying to create a magic blast from her palms, but noting came out.

"What going on, why isn't it working?" Soul ask herself, but didn't realize that the beast axe was already coming at her. "MOVE!" Aphrodite shouted as she hits the creature soul was riding with her peacock, and then immediately counted the axe attack with the trident in her hands.

"You....have.... strength....beast.... but i...am the strongest goddess there is." Aphrodite said as she holds her ground against the giant. Thankfully, she used the trident to counter the axe attack of the beast because he she had used other weapons from her girdle, they would have been easily broken pieces.

"Yes! Demon. Feel my strength." Aphrodite shouted as she holds the attack of the beast, and then thought of a way to greatly weaken it by blasting it's eyes with her magic. "Let's see how you take it.... peacock, attack the eyes of this beast." Aphrodite commanded, and the peacock shoot out feathers from his tails directly to the eyes of the giant. All the peacock feather were all naturally sharp, powerful, and also infuse with poisoned. If a mortal or god got injured by the peacocks feather, he will immediately die.

"Arrrhhh!" The beast shouted in pain as the peacock feathers penetrate into his eye balls. The beast then drop his huge axe on the ground, and throw Zadre away from his palm. He used his two huge hands to tend to us injured eyes, and as he was doing so. Aphrodite was looking for a direct pathway that can give her a eazy access into the beast, so that she can finish him off.

"Come on! Give me a pathway, you beast!" Aphrodite said as she patiently wait for an opening. "There, but...." Aphrodite said but was immediately Interrupted by Soul. "..goddess, i don't think we used kill the monsters." Soul shouted to Aphrodite as she fly closer to her with the thesame mystical creature she rode before. 

"You mortal! You don't know when to give up huh?" Aphrodite said to soul and then point her trident at her. "...you see that beast? It's a test from the mother of fate, to see if we are strong enough to entertain her or to be in presence. I have partaken in sure test before and i know that killing this beast is the only was we can see the mother of fate." Aphrodite explained. "Okay goddess! But i had a vision just now. Just now when you pushed me. I heard a voice saying that 'LOVE' love is the only way to defect the giant." Soul explained. 

"Love! Love! Love! That's all you speak of mortal. I tell you that giant can't be deducted by love, it's impossible." Aphrodite said. ".... that's why the mother of fate gave her the task. She knows its will be impossible for you guys to choose love over war!" Soul shouted to Aphrodite. 

"You dare tell me that!?" Aphrodite who was greatly offended by way soul just talked to her, shouted and point the trident towards her.

"Mortal! They think they know all. Well let me tell you, we only choose conflict because that will get the solution we want, and how we want it." Aphrodite said as her eyes slowly turns white. "....if he acted on love, the outcome of solving anything with love is really unpredictable, and because of this, they is no love during a place of battle. You gat that mortal!" Aphrodite shouted. "....and for your insolence, i will personally punish you by killing you and bringing you back to life. That will speak you not to disrespect a goddess." Aphrodite said and was about to stab Soul with the trident in her hands, when a huge shadow appears, and move towards them.

"...what is....?" Aphrodite ask herself as she look at the shadow only to see the huge hands of the giant beast coming towards them. "What?....no!" Aphrodite and Soul panicked immediately they saw the huge palms of the giant coming straight and them, and before it's hands could hit them. Zadre fly out of nowhere and strick the giant in his palms. 

"Arrrhhh!" The giant shouted and step backward after receive his palm split in two. "That's for grabbing me like i am one of your preys." Zadre said to the giant as it moves back and shout in pain. 

"No! You shouldn't have attack him." Soul shouted at Zadre. "Huh? Didn't you see it was about to kill you just now?" Zadre turn to her and ask. "It didn't want to kills us, it just to test us." Souls shouted at him. "Is like hit you head badly from those falls you had earlier..." Zadre said and turn away from her to look at the beast who was now breathing heavily while staring at it's slice off palm.

"...when the beast grabbed you earlier did it eat or swallow? No! It didn't. That's because it doesn't want to kill us. It just want to test to see if we can use love end a battle before it even start." Soul boldly said to Zadre and Aphrodite.

"....You speak with confident, but mortal if you were put on a real battle you will die and worthless death because you think you can end a battle with 'Love' before the battle starts." Aphrodite who kept quiet Zadre and her argument each other, speak out. "....demon!" Aphrodite call to Zadre while still flying on her peacock, and he turn to her. "...you did well by cutting off the palms of that beast before it could grab me. For was your kind did well." Aphrodite said to Zadre and turn back to Soul. 

"....we still have unfinished business, mortal!" Aphrodite said as she points her trident at her. "... remember what i just told you?" She said with a creepy smile on her face.

"... What do you want to do to her?" Zadre cut in. "Stay out of this...demon." Aphrodite said to Zadre. "...You upper..." Zadre said as he's rage build up. "..oh! You want to be punished too huh?" Aphrodite said to him. "....fine! I guess you two will entertain me when i kill and bring you back to life. Well.... that's if you come back to life." Aphrodite smiled and said. "I won't let you kill Soul and bring her back to life. Killing soul will danger Dusa conscience in her, and i will not allow that to happen." Zadre confidently said to Aphrodite as she stretch his spear at her. "....Oh! I forgot about that, well you better say goodbye to her NOW!" Aphrodite firmly said to Zadre with straight face.

"....You!" Zadre shouted and fly straight to attack her with his spear, but soul stopped him. ".... stop! Please stop! No more conflicts please." Soul shouted, and then slowly rides her mystical creature close to Aphrodite.

"goddess l want to make a deal!" Soul boldly said to Aphrodite as she flies close to her, and this angered her. "....a mere mortal wants to make a deal with me?" Aphrodite ask. "Who do you think you are? Just because my son fell Inlove with you doesn't mean you can make deals with me." Aphrodite stated and then hold her trident tightly while staring at Soul. 

"....The deal i want to make with you is a simple one." Soul said regardless of what Aphrodite just said to her. "....You Mortal!" Aphrodite who couldn't stand Soul shouted and raise her trident up again to kill her. "....You can kill me as many times as you want, if i fail to carryout the deal." Soul said quickly and Aphrodite immediately stop what she was about to do. "....and what deal is this?" Aphrodite ask soul while trident hangs close to her head. ".....the deal is this. If i can convince you that love can stop any battle before it starts. You will let me go, but if i fail on conceiving you, then you can kill me as many times as you please." Soul boldly said.

"... I wouldn't let you make this deal." Zadre spoke out. "...well i think we both know that you can't stop me." Soul said to him. "....fine! I will make this deal with you mortal princess. But how are you going to convince me that love can stop a battle?" Aphrodite ask her, and then withdraw her trident back to her magical girdle.

"I am going to convince you, by stopping this giant from attacking us." Soul said as she look at the giant who was still staring at his palms. "Hahahaha!" Aphrodite laughed and laughed even more. "You really want to die so badly huh?" Aphrodite ask her and then laugh even More.

"I will prove it to you." Soul said and ride her mystical creature towards the giant. "...you better not die by the hands of the giant when you fail. I want to personally kill you!" Aphrodite shouted to Soul as she rides her towards the beast. 

"...Eros wouldn't allow you to do this!" Zadre shouted to Soul, thinking that his words will stop her from doing what she is about to do. 

"... it's because of Eros am doing this." Soul shouted back to him as she rides her creature towards the beast.

The thought of Eros flies through Soul's mind as she moves closer to the giant beast. "Where ever you are. Please protect me." Soul closed her eyes and said. Soul knows that what she is about to do is very dangerous, but she still want to do it, so that she can prove to Aphrodite and Zadre that love can truly end battles.
