The battle of the mightiest continues with the gods hiding beyond the horizon watches them, hoping that the long chase of life and death will come to an end. Thy sky roars gregariously as the clouds turn dull and dim.

And with the Rule-Breakers wallow in their desire to defeat the God of the Sea, they fail to catch any glimpse to witness the downfall of their most beloved comrades.

The wither ground slowly freezes, along with the appearance of an enormous crystal blue magic circle under their feet. Artemis eyes look at Poseidon with no sympathy written on her face. As the ice runs toward Poseidon’s direction, a cold, somber look plasters from Artemis’s face.

“Secret Art: Glacial Retribution!” Artemis chants.

The floor of ice rapidly makes its way towards Poseidon, locking him in an enormous mass of ice. At the same time, Poseidon’s trident suddenly flies towards the cold prisoner. The unsettling sounds of shattering ice echo along with the endless flow of black liquid from the trident. As the mass of ice fully shatters, a pitch-black scale covers Poseidon’s entire body.

“Inis ka na n’yan?” Tanong ni Savannah kay Artemis.

Walang emosyon siyang tiningnan nito, “Gusto mo bang maging malamig na bangkay?”

“Haha. Funny ka n’yan? Ang kapal ng mukhang magalit, ikaw ‘tong magnanakaw ng anak!” Asik ni Savannah kasabay nito ang makahulugan niyang tingin kay Jackson at sumugod ito sa direksyon nito.

At sa pag awit ni Jackson sa kakaiba niyang musika, ang tuyot na kalupaan ay binalot ng lutiang magic circle at dahan-dahang nagkakaroon ng buhay ang mga halaman do’n, mabilis na tumubo hanggang sa naging isang higanteng puno iyon.

“Secret Art: Mangrove Fortress!” Jackson chanted.

Savannah glances to Glifford and Freya, making their way towards the gigantic mangrove tree, which was occupying the entire entrance of Achaea and covering the whole sacred walls from the evil sight of Poseidon. As Savannah and Glifford gallop at the tree, Freya flies over the horizon with her sparkling pixie dust drizzling beneath her.

“Shall we do it, Glifford?” Savannah asked.

Glifford smiles at her, and the two of them jump off the tree, and with Freya’s pixie dust guidance, the two of them easily soars the air.

“I hope you are ready, Queen of All,” Glifford mumbled.

And beyond the horizon, glorious light of two humungous magic circles with the hues of lavender and daisy combines, making Glifford and Savannah rapidly plummet towards Poseidon at a speed of light.

“Unison Charge: Bandit’s Dance!”

Glifford kicks Poseidon’s stomach, making it petrifies slowly. On the other hand, Savannah jabs his neck, yet Poseidon immediately stops her sword with his hand. She smirks at him as he is gradually turning into a stone.

“What a fool,” Poseidon stated. His petrified body parts were leisurely swallowed by his tainted scales, turning his body into gelatinous black liquid.

Dahan-dahang nanlaki ang mga mata ni Savannah nang mas humigpit ang kapit sa kanya ni Poseidon. At sa paghulma ng isang nakatatakot na ngisi sa labi ni Poseidon, isang mapang asar na tingin ang binigay nito kay Glifford saka niya tinaas ang kanyang kamay kung saan ay hawak niya ang kanyang trident.

Wala sa sariling napasugod sa kanya si Glifford dahilan upang nakawin ni Poseidon ang tyansang iyon. Mahigpit niyang hinawakan ang kanyang trident at tinarak iyon sa sikmura ni Glifford, marahas na hinagis ni Poseidon si Savannah at bago tuluyan na bumaon kay Glifford ang trident ay pinigilan iyon ng pixie dust ni Freya.

“Hoy. Sinong nagsabi sa’yong puwedeng mong saktan ang mga alipin ko?” Mataray na tanong ni Freya.

“Kinginang kapal ng mukha,” bulong ni Dark.

“Pre, ganyan siguro pag nagiging reyna…” dagdag ni Alyssa. “Mula sa hindi makabasag pinggan, naging walanghiya.”

“Grabe naman mag-glow up si Freya. Sana all na lang talaga—”

A cloud of pixie dust suddenly dances around them as it forcefully shut Dark’s mouth. Alyssa grimaced, acting as if she wasn’t indulging in the conversation earlier.

Freya gives Dark a deadpan look, and before glancing back again to Poseidon, she takes a glimpse towards their king vessel, who was concentrating on his finishing attack. Because they know, the Rule-Breakers know that their king vessel deserves to be the one to make Poseidon kiss his downfall.

Freya manipulates her dust, making Glifford and Savannah soar away from Poseidon.

“The new queen fairy, huh?” Poseidon mocked. “Oh, right—you’re the reason why your mother died.”

A parade of pixie dust gathers around Poseidon in just a snap as Freya’s deadly eyes lay upon him. “I know. But that’s not the official business right now.”

Ngumisi ito kay Freya. “At sa tingin mo’y matatalo niyo talaga ako? Masyadong mataas—”

“Mataas ang tingin namin sa mga sarili namin? Mali ka—mataas ang tingin namin sa kanya.” Mabilis na nagnakaw ng tingin si Freya kay Garet dahilan upang mag igting ang panga ni Poseidon.

“At sa pagtitiwala niyong ‘yan, mamamatay kayong lahat!”

Muli ang buong paligid ay nabalot sa dilim, ang kalangitan ay puwersahang nagbuhos nang mabibigat na ulan at sa paghalik nila sa kalupaan, sila’y dahan-dahang nababalot ng itim.

Hanggang sa nagsasama ito at muling nagbigay buhay sa hukbo ni Poseidon, nang sinubukang tapatan iyon ni Dark, ang grupo ng kanyang mga kalansay ay agad na natalo dahil tuwing lalapat ang hukbo ni Poseidon, ang mga ito’y mabilis na naaagnas.

“Tangina…” bulong ni Dark. “H’wag niyong hahawakan ang mga kamukha ni Jackson!”

Nakangiwing lumingon si Jackson sa direksyon ni Dark. “Hoy! Walang ilong ‘yan—”

“Kaya nga kamukha mo e!”

“Tangina mo! Hoy, Poseidon, p’wedeng unahin mo na si Dark?!” Sigaw ni Jackson habang tinuturo si Dark.

“Idiots,” Alyssa whispers under her breath, and then she silently looks up and steals a glimpse of Garet. “Gaano pa ba katagal, Garet?”

Alyssa takes a deep breath and roams her eyes around. The enigmatic, black army marches towards them, and everything they touch turns into specks of dust. As Poseidon’s grin fails to fade, a golden light once again illuminates, covering the entire continent.

The life within the forest was instantly dried out. The speckles of life illuminate around Alyssa, along with the golden light shimmering beneath their feet. With Alyssa’s eyes wide open, magic circles began to imprints in her eyes, replacing her gorgeous pale golden eyes.

“Secret Art: Infinite Eyes!” And across the entire Divine Continent, all the beings living in the splendid land of the Greeks can witness the battle against Poseidon and the Rule-Breakers.

“Damn, that human is so… magnificent,” Artemis commented.

At habang nakatingin si Dark sa kampon ni Poseidon ay napangisi na lamang siya. Ang kahiaan ng mga ito ay naging klaro na sa kanilang mga mata.

Sa isang iglap, ang kalupaan ay kusang gumuhit ng imahe ng isang malaking magic circle. At kasabay nang maingay na iyak ng kalangitan, ang mga anino’y yumakap sa lupa, nagkumpulan sila ro’n at tinakluban ang magic circle.

“Dark… are you?” Tanong ni Freya.

Tumango lamang ito sa kanya dahilan upang mas lumipad sa himpapawid si Freya. Saglit na pinikit ni Dark ang kanyang mga mata, pinakaramdaman ang paligid hanggang sa naramdaman niya ang katahimikan sa kanyang sarili.

“Secret Art: Death Parade!”

Beyond the shadow circle, an army of skeletons slowly rises, and as they emerge, the shadows enter within them, making them be cover in the hues of black.

In the middle of a fierce battle, a cunning guest hiding beyond the dirt crawls in the direction of the fallen daughter of the God of Wine. An unrecognizable smile slowly curves in her lips as she captures the body of the lost.

All the wounds from Emerald’s body cease as her eyes glimmer the hues of the earth as it immediately changes into the shade of the darkest wine.

“I might as well help these fools,” she mumbled.

Her eyes lock to the battle of the dead. Dark’s army overwhelms Poseidon’s soldiers as they make a path towards Poseidon in the center of the field.

Ngumisi si Artemis at tumingin sa itaas, “He’s ready.”

Pinayelo ni Artemis ang daan sa gitna kasabay ang sunod-sunod na pagtubo ng mga puno sa gilid nito, tinutulungan ang kampon ni Dark upang hindi makalagpas ang hukbo ni Poseidon.

At mula sa itaas, ang mga pixie dust ni Freya mas nagningning habang ito ay pinauulan niya sa paligid. Pinupuntirya si Poseidon at ang mga sundalo nito, nang tumigil sa himpapawid si Freya ay ngumiti siya.

“Secret Art: The Tempest Glamour!”

The cloud of pixie dust explodes on the horizon, eliminating most of Poseidon’s army and blinding the God of the Sea as it shines the miraculous scenery of the galaxy. And once again, Savannah grips at her sword tighter and lunges it towards Poseidon.

As Poseidon avoids her sword, his body rapidly plummets to the ground in Glifford’s manipulation.

And as the eye of the heavens slowly takes a glimpse beyond the horizon. Garet opens his eyes; the radiant blaze of his blue eyes ignites the heart of every being watching them.

The most enormous, conquering magic circle have ever seen in the land of the sorcerers captivates their world, as it was almost as huge as the Divine Continent.

And when Poseidon’s body finally kisses the ground, the earth itself suddenly favors them as it slowly sucks Poseidon within.

The fiery, scorching sword began to be enveloped with the flame of tranquility. Garet looked down at Poseidon, who was squirming on the ground.

He charges towards him with a sympathetic look on his face. “All kings are different… And I am a king who sympathizes kings who lose themselves, for they forget who they are.” Garet thought.

Nahihirapan, nasasaktan na ungol ang pinakawalan ng mga labi ni Poseidon. At habang lumalakas iyon, dalawang boses ang tila naririnig nila at dahil do’n ay nabalot ang kanilang isipan ng iba’t-ibang tanong.

Nang balutin ni Garet ng asul na apoy ang buong katawan ni Poseidon, ang ipit na sigaw nito ay saglit na nakapagpabingi sa kanila na para bang may nais kumawala sa loob nito.

“Exorcist pala si Garet,” bulong ni Alyssa.

Their eyes lock to Garet, watching him as he pierces his sword through Poseidon. And with Poseidon resisting hard from his flame, the black water tries protecting Poseidon, yet the collision of two blessings ignites, making it explodes.

Garet flies away from Poseidon. As the vicinity was covered with thick smoke, a shadow suddenly left inside of Poseidon, making him lost his entire consciousness.

When the smokes eventually faded, the war finally reached its end.

And so… the Age of the Defiers begins.
