Chapter 21

"Do you really want to do this?" Aphrodite ask Eros. "Mother you know that i would never battle you. But i want to protect somebody i truly love, and as the god of love i will stand against anybody even my own mother to protect whoever i love." Eros confidently said to his mother. "You are really serious about this? Hahahaha!" Aphrodite said and then laugh mischievously. "

....Fine let's truly see your powers son." Aphrodite said and began to conjure up huge fire, sharp ice, and water. "I will really enjoy taking an upper god down." Zadre boldly said. "Don't underestimate my mother, you see what she did to you right?" Eros said to Zadre. "She was able to slap me that hard because i let my guard down. But now, I would make her pay for all the pain and suffering she have put Dusa through." Zadre said and look at Dusa, who is now now unconscious. "When battling with my mother, don't let her get close to you. I think she has a magic that can injure someone greatly if they come closer to her." Eros enlighten Zadre. "Then how do we defect her then, we were can't get closer to her?" Zadre angrily ask Eros. "We are not going to defect her, we are going to weaken her or stall her till... Well till...." Eros try to complete what he was about to say but Zadre Interrupted him. "....till what?" Zadre said angrily. "Still the mother of fate intervene." Eros said with a disbelief look on his face. "I don't care about the so called mother of fate or the prophesy. I only want to protect Dusa from any danger that may come her way, and your mother is one of them." Zadre said. "Yeah! But...." Eros wanted to say something to Zadre but his mother Interrupted him. "What are you waiting for? Do you two dare to challenge the greatest goddess in universe?" Aphrodite said to them as she levitate up in the air while her eyes change into white, and all the elements like water, fire and sharp ice surrounds her. "Come on! Give me your best shot." Aphrodite deity shouted at them. "Let's see if you can handle it." Zadre said and flew with speed towards Aphrodite. "Wait! Don't go closer to her...." Eros tried to warn Zadre but he have already flew far from him. "Damn this!" Eros said as he follow Zadre from behind. "Today! You upper god will taste my rage!!" Zadre shouted as he fly close to Aphrodite. "The demon came first. I guess he isn't aware of my weakening magic." Aphrodite said to herself. ".....Dieeee!" Zadre shouted as he throw his spear at Aphrodite with all his might. "You over estimate yourself, Demon!" Aphrodite said and use the sharp ice levitate around her to block Zadre spear from hitting her, and the spear fell to the ground. "You damn demon, you think you can stand at chance against me?" Aphrodite shouted at Zadre and then combined all the elements levitating around her into a spear just like Zadre own. "Let's see if you can take this!" Aphrodite said and then throw her the spear at Zadre. "No!!" Eros shouted and then increase he's flying speed. He took a golden arrow from his quiver and shoot it directly at the spear his mother threw. "Time To die demon!" Aphrodite said as her spear flies at Zadre. "You think that spear can hurt me?" Zadre shouted. "I will show why they call me the god of hate." Zadre shouted again and fire began to blow out of his mouth. "I will melt that spear with my internal flames." Zadre said in his mind as the arrow flies straight at me, and then it collided with his internal flames. "AHHHHH!" Zadre shouted and more fire came out of his mouth, but the spear was still closing in on him. "Hahahaha! You think you could take it?" Aphrodite said as she looks at him. "Now die!" Aphrodite said and the spear increase his force and push itself despite the fire Zadre blasting at it. "Nooo! I wouldn't be defected." Zadre said as he spear comes really close to him, but before it could hit him. Eros arrow flew straight at it by penetrating through zadre body without killing him. "What?" Zadre said as he feels Eros arrow passing through him and hitting his mother spear.

 "BOOOM!" Eros arrows and his mother spear made a huge noise as they collided with each other. "AHH!" The collision of the arrows and spear pushed Zagre background and he saw Eros. "You!" Zadre said and flew closer at Eros. "What type of arrow was that? It passed through my body like it was nothing." Zagre said. "It's a powerful arrow given to me by my mother." Eros said as he stare at his mother than was on the other side. "So he used the arrow against me...huh? My son used the arrow i personally created for him just because of her?!" Aphrodite angrily said and large storm began to gather up around her. "What's going on?" Zadre ask as he sees the large thunder Storm. "She isn't holding back!" Eros said, as fear grabs me. "I can till take her down!" Zadre said with confident and stretch out his hands up, and then He's spear immediately few from the ground to his hands. "We can't defect her." Eros said to Zadre as he stare at the storm. "What do you mean by that? If we don't defect her, then how can we protect Dusa?" Zadre angrily ask Eros. "Firstly, i am protecting Soul, not Dusa. Secondly, if we charge towards my mum head on. She will easily defect us by striking us with those thunder bolts in the storm above her." Eros said as he points at the storm. "So... Your own mother will really kill you? You upper gods are really despicable." Zadre said and position himself for battle. "I disobeyed her, so it is only right i get punished." Eros said and brought three arrows from his quiver and set them on his arrows. "Punishment my ass, your own mother will kill you and you call that punishment?" Zadre ask Eros. "You father wants to kill you too because you are incompetent. So you should know what i mean." Eros said to Zadre. "Damn you!" Zadre ignored what is said. "BANG! BANG!" The sound from the lightening bolt controlled by Aphrodite grew stronger. "COME AT ME!" Aphrodite shouted at them. "You know the plan. We distract her and weaken her with our magic. We don't hurt her." Eros said to Zadre. "Why don't you want to attack her, she is ready to kill or punish you." Zadre said to her. "She is still my mother. And i am not as powerful as her." Eros said as he position himself for battle too. "What about Dusa? Our battle may bring harm to her." Zadre said. "I am sure my mother put a protection magic on her." Eros said to Zadre. "why would she do that? She hates Dusa." Zadre said. "....but she don't hate her sister." Eros said as he look at Zadre. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" Aphrodite chaotic voice echoes to them. "You are clear on the plan?" Eros ask Zadre. "Just because of Dusa..." Zadre replied Eros and they both fly towards Aphrodite.

"So they dare challenge me?" Aphrodite said as she sees Eros and Zadre flying straight towards her. "let's see if they can stable true POWER." She said again and immediately revived the elements used in creating the spear. 

"Oh no!" Eros said as he and Zadre flies towards his mother. "Did she just revived those elements?" Zadre ask Eros. "Yes, she did!" Eros responded back to him. "....we till have to follow the plan. Attack, distract and weaken her." Eros said to Zadre. "You said that like a thousand times already." Zadre said to him. "Fine...but don't die." Eros replied him as they both flew closer to Aphrodite. 

"Let's see if you can handle this?" Aphrodite said as she stretch out her finger towards Eros and Zadre, and immediately the thunder bolts from the storm above her strike at them, but they were able to counter it with their magic and magic weapons. "AHHHHH!" Zagre shouted after using his magic spear stop the powerful thunderbolt from striking me. "I told you we shouldn't underestimate her." Eros said after releasing the protective shield he used to protect himself from the bolt. "We have to attack or she would kill us." Zadre angrily said as he stare at Aphrodite with anger. "if we do that she would kill us." Eros said. "Then i will happily die fighting, than to stay here and counter powerful attacks from her still one of them eventually kills me." Zadre said and then conjure up his Spirit animal which is a red dragon with two head. "You don't have to fight her like this. She would release your spirit animals immediately and kill you." Eros said to him. "Then i would die fighting." Zadre said and charge at Aphrodite with his spirit animal. "No! Wait!" Eros tries to stop but failed. "Damnit... I guess am doing this." He said and brought out more powerful arrows from his quiver and follow Zadre.

"Hahahaha! He thinks he will have a chance of defecting me by summoning his spirit animal." Aphrodite said. "Okay! Let's see how much power your spirit animal can handle." Aphrodite who is slowly turning mad from using too much of her powers said and summon a even bigger thunderbolt at Zadre. "Let's take her down!" Zadre said to his Spirit animal as he sees the thunderbolt she was summoning. "Okay! Now." Zadre shouted and his spirit animal blow out both fire and water from it's two mouths. The two elements that came out of Zadre spirit animal counter Aphrodite large thunderbolt, but the dragon kept blowing out the two elements so that the thunder bolts wouldn't close in on him. "Good work!" Zadre said to his spirit animal and then rushes to where Aphrodite was to fight her. 

"Hahahaha! You even dare to come close to me?" Aphrodite said to Zadre as she sees him coming towards her. "... Leave us alone!" Zadre shouted with rage covers his body. "Dieee!"Aphrodite said and then summon more thab one thunderbolts at Zadre. Luckily he was able to destroy each thunderbolt with his Rage while using his spear. "Stay back, you demon, stay back!"

"You think i can't see this arrows?" Aphrodite said as he used her magic to destroy each arrows, but one still hit her in her shoulder. "AHHHHH!!" Aphrodite shouted in pain, and all her magic stopped working. "Mother!!" Eros who didn't expect that one of his arrows would touch his mother shouted out loud and rushes towards her.
