Jayr POV - Greece, Sanctuary - 1987

  I focus ba what is happening, while at the same time, I stop my urge to wipe the hint of a tear that appeared on the er of my left eye while thinking, 'I'm truly moved... Now, I fully admit, that I'm an anime/manga character! I also had my fshbaent! A steeple for animators and artists t out the story as much as possible until it gets cursed to the ground...'.

  My silly thoughts are interrupted by Saga's voiing behihat says "Everyone, focus! They are about to arrive and they must not pass through the Libra Temple... They are the only remaining Specters in the Sanctuary, after dealing with them, we finally start our terattack... o thing, don't die this is an order!", and at that, everyone yells "Yes, Pope!", and soon after, the six Specters finally appear in front of us, not b to hide their appearanymore.

  Seeing them, Saga stands in front of us and says "Wele to the Libra Temple, Specters of the God of the Underworld! I'm the Sanctuary's Pope, Gemini Saga! And this will be the pce where all of you will die!", in respoo this, a muscur woman with long dark purple hair and reddish eyes, and a really bulky Surplice, I reize her as Viote, a Specter that appeared in a spin-off manga, she moves forward and says "Good, it seems that all the remaining Gold Saints are here... This will make it easier to take Athena's head once we take care of you...".

  But a tall man with a muscur build, long reddish brown hair tied with a ribbon, and fair skin, his Surplice reminds me of a female-shaped pnt, moves o her and says "My, my, how rude you be Lady Viote, before killing them all, we should at least let them know the names of their killers...", I don't reize him, but through a vision of the Crateris Cloth, I noticed that his attacks are pnt-based like Aphrodite, this is why we po make him fight with this man.

  The man then says "o meet you all Saints of Athena, I'm Celestial Rise Star, Dryad Luco, and this lovely dy o me is the Celestial Solitude Star, Behemoth Viote...", but then another young man with blue-bck hair and dark eyes, wearing a dark Surplice with very rge wings, I immediately reize him as the Celestial Violent Star, Bannu Kagaho, he moves o the other two and yells "Who care about these formalities! Let's just deal with them and finish our mission!".

  I feel him igniting his o, as he quickly flies up in the air, then he gees a huge fireball behind him and yells "Take this! a Bst!!", and shoots it toward us, but soon after, Camus also makes his move, he gathers the cold air on top of his hand, densing the surrounding moisture into pure ice ball, and calmly says "I'll take care of this... Diamond Dust!!", he then shatters the densed ice that ge into the form of tless sharp and cutting snow crystals that are hurled at the fireball with a powerful cold wind.

  The two attacks cel each other and at the same time, gee a thick mist that covers the whole temple, but this isn't a problem for any of the people present here, as we don't rely only on ht, and indeed, I already feel that all the Specters divided themselves and moved to various zones of this Temple to fight us one-o the same time I hear Saga's voice "Saints! You already know who is your target! Let's go! For Athena and the world!!", and so we also divide ourselves to chase after our targets yelling "For Athena and the world!!".

  Milo POV - Greece, Sanctuary - 1987

  The csh between the winged Specter and Camus' attack, sighe start of this st battle in the Libra Temple.

  So after separating from my fellow Gold Saints, I quickly chase after my target, the Libra Temple is pentagonal in shape.

  It has 6 big halls, the one I just got out from is the tral one, while my target is moving toward one of the halls situated on the five ers.

  After a few seds, I reach the hall and see my target waiting for me here, with an arrogant expression on his face, he is a young adult with ahat appears to be in his te 20s to early 30s, is around 185 cm tall, and has an athletic body, his hair is b color, which is quite long and reaches a little below shoulder length, ayles it in such a way that his fringe covers his eyes but through them, I see that the eye is covered by a bck patch while his other one is grey, and is wearing a dark purple Surplice that protects most of his body, and the most peculiar characteristics are the root like shoulder pieces, and the fagraved on the left side of the chest protector.

  The Specter looks at me with a grin and says "You're a very unfortunate Saint of Athena... Your oppo is me, the Celestial Pain Star, Mandrake Fyodor, and I assure you that your death will truly be a painful one because, uhe others, I like pying with my food and enjoy their pains very much!".

  Spoiler

  [colpse]I'm calm about his decration, as Jayr gave me a lot of information about him, and I know that he is the torturer of the Underworld, he enjoys bringing pain to every unfortunate soul that falls into his hands no matter if it is an i one, or a wicked ohis is also why I choose to be his oppo, It's time to make him feel the pain he brought to his victims, so I take my stand says "I don't know who among us is the truly unfortunate one... I'm Athena's Gold Saint, Scorpio Milo, and there is ohing that I have to remind you... The scorpion's sting is the most painful one!".

  Hearing that, Fyodor smiles and says "We'll see about that... From the ears to the brain... Split Apart!", at the same time, I notice that under his and, the fa his chest piece opes mouth, at the same time, I ignite my o to terattack, I trate my o on my right fiip, creating a bright red and sharp nail on it, then I quickly run toward my oppo and pierce his body with it 4 times, and yell "Scarlet Needle!!", but as I hit him he also releases his teique, "Strangle Shrill!!", and the fa his Surplice releases a powerful sound wave, apanied by a very high-pitched screech, which shatters everything in its path until it violently collides with my body.

  The impact of the sound wave on me causes a slight paralysis effect that reduces my bat capabilities, and at the same time, it is apanied by intense pain in my inner ear and brain, clearly affected by it, "Argh!!", but even with my ears still ringing, I clearly hear Fyodor's screams of pain as the Scarlet Needle ravages his body, and so as I focus on trasting the effects of Fyodor's teique.

  After I was able to fend it off, I look at Fyodor writhing on the floor and expin "The Scarlet Needle is a teique that directly attacks the enemy's tral nervous system by means of a shockwave and causes a pain so intehat it also causes total paralysis in its victim... And the pain grows stronger with each hit, and the maximum number of hits is the same number as those of the stars in the Scorpio steltion... 15... and the st one is fatal to anyone!".

  Trembling, Fyodor stands up and checks the 4 small holes on his Surplid body still leaking blood and says "Bullshit! This kind of pain is nothing!! This is only a physical rea, I inflict true pain on my victims not only physically but also emotionally... So much that in the end, they beg me to kill them... That is the best moment!!".

  I let out a sigh and say "Usually I take advantage of the feature of the Scarlet Needle to make my oppo surrender... But in your case, I'll make an exception...", hearing that Fyodor replies "We'll see who will be for mercy...", and the fa his Surplice opens its mouth once again, but this time I don't give him any more time, I ignite my o and make it explode, once again trating all the energy on my fiip, I move at the speed of the light and yelling "Scarlet Needle!!", I quickly move around his body and pierce him 10 more times, and at the same time, I return to my position with my back fag him.

  And with a total of 14 bloody holes on his body, Fyodor remains rooted in pce, uo move or even utter a word because the pain he is feeling is too muow, I turn around and say "And this is the st one... My Athena have pity of your soul a you reinate free from Hades' rule... Scarlet Needle: Antares!!", and as my o reach the maximum, I shoot a bright red sphere from my fiip with which I pierce his body by striking the point at the ter of the Scorpio steltion and the ter of Fyodor's torso, and thus pleting the Scarlet Needle with the fifteenth and final strike of the teique.

  And as soon as he is hit, the Surplice scatters into many fine pieces, his eye loses light, and he falls on the ground like a puppet with his string cut, while still leaking blood from all the 15 wounds, dyeing the floor of the Libra Temple red with his blood, looking at his body I say " And with this only 5 remains... No... 4, it seems that Shura already took care of his oppo".

  Shura POV - Greece, Sanctuary - 1987(Time the Gold separated)

  I followed my target to one of the ers halls of the Libra Temple, and I finally find him standing there waiting for his oppo almost too sure of himself for my liking, aremely tall man, he looks like a giant, like Cassios and his still imprisoned brother Docrates, he has a robust and muscur body, this makes him look like a very strong person physically, the headpiece of his Surplice covers the front of his head, so it is not possible to see the fringe of his hair, although at the back of his head I see that his hair is blond and bed upwards.

  His face is rather coarse with well-defined features, a thin but sharp nose, and a rge mouth, and his eyes are light blue, he is wearing a Surplice that is clearly defense-oriented, it seems especially suited for spinning attacks with the necessary curvatures, it also carries a rge number of atuated edges on its back, its headpiece is a helmet that leaves the jaw unprotected, its shoulders pieces are spiked, its chest piece is well protected and also has hexagonal prote, its arm pieces are not very plex in design and are just a few ptes, and the legs piece are quite basic except the knee protectors that are equipped with spikes like on his shoulders.

  [colpse]He looks at me and says "I've heard of you... A Saint who trained himself to the highest possible degree, a Saint whose sharpness rivals that of the legendary Excalibur! But it won't beat me, the Celestial Retreat Star, Genbu Gregor! My Surplice is as strong as a diamond, just try and cut it! Take this!!", and he curls himself into a ball and rolls toward me with great speed and force.

  Looking at him I only say "What a fool... Excalibur!!", I raise my right arm, and as I ignite my o, I swing my arm down and release a very sharp arposed of extreme o tration, that leaves behind a bright golden track of gold light, that seems to sever the world in half, but of course, I trolled my atta such a way that only my oppo was truly cut by it, and as the two separate halves pass by, I hear his voice says "I-is... This... the holy bde Excalibur... Grah!!", then he is further cut into many finer pieces, so fihat he in fact bees dust, and I say "There is nothing that my bde 't cut... This is the prao me to destroy the enemies of my Goddess Athena!".

  Camus POV - Greece, Sanctuary - 1987

  I'm already in one of the er halls of the Libra Temple but even if I feel that my target is here, his presence is spread all around the hall and I 't see him anywhere, at least until I hear a distorted voice yell "Ugly Eruption!!", and see a purple cloud of clearly poisonous gas ing toward me.

  But before it could reach me, I raise my right arm, make my o explode, and yell "Freezing Coffin!!", releasing a freezing wave that ehe gas into a giant block of ice, then I say "These paltry tricks won't work on me! e on, show yourself!", and in ao that my oppo says "Ho, ho! Look carefully! I've been right in front of you the whole time", and following the voice, I finally see him, and 't help excim "What the...!".

  In front of me, there is a disgusting and grotesque thing, a kind of dark slimy mass surrounded by various boils, if it wasn't for Jayr's warnings, I'd have uimated my oppo in his current state, but I'm still surprised by his current form, anyway I am ready for his move, at the same time, my oppo introduces himself, "Prepare to die! I promised my rades to take care of you! I'm the Terrestrial Bewitg Star, Papillon Myu!".

  (Image Here - Papillon Myu 1st Form)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]After he finished speaking, from the slimy mass, a creepy worm with dark colors and rge green eyes jumps out of it, opens its jaws, and yells "Silky Thread!!", projects a rge number of fine and very strong silk threads that s around my body enclosing me in a co hoping to suffocate me and as the threads around my body, he says "Give it up, it's futile! My threads are unbreakable! You'll soon be enveloped in my co".

  (Image Here - Papillon Myu 2nd Form)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]And once ed ihe co, I feel that Myu is now doing the same to his own body, he sticks to the ceiling of the Temple and s himself in a thick co, and onplete, I feel his o growing stronger each passing moment.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]While this is happening, I urge my o and release a freezing aura from my body that freezes the threads around my body to their core rending them very brittle, and with a simple push of my o they break into an icy powder making me free to move, then I once again hear Myu's voiing from the co stu the ceiling "Do you mao free yourself eh, Camus? But I never expected to kill you with just the Silky Thread... that was only to buy some time so that I evolve into my most invincible form!", at the same time his o reaches a new peak and he yells "Now see the true form of the Terrestrial Bewitg Star, Papillon Myu! The invincible shape of my final metamorphosis!!".

  From the co two beautiful and colorful butterfly wings break out, then with an explosion, Myu finally shows his true form, a man of medium height, slender build, and handsome appearance, he has long, bristly, dark pink hair and special, i-like eyes, wearing what is the most colorful Surplice of all that I have seen until now, it is e, with some violet parts, with green i eyes and butterfly wings.

  [colpse]Myu smiles now sure of his victory and says "Ho, ho, ho! Now that I've undergone my final metamorphosis ohing is certain... Your death, Camus!", but I calmly look at him and reply "Well, Papillo's fight! Or do you want to bore me to death with your talk...", Myu raises his right arm and says "Let me test the water", and as he says this, I feel him burning his o and the moment, I feel a strong telekiic force trying to bound my body, 'He really started with this... What a fool, in these st months I regurly sparred with Mu the Gold Saint with the stroelekiic powers... pared with his, Myu's are a child's py!'.

  And so I ignite my o and terattack with my own telekiic powers overp his own and say "That's not enough power to take me down...", I take hold of his body and with a push, I start to sm him around the walls of the hall and on the ground geing many craters, but all of the sudden his o spikes and he breaks free from my hold, and as he lifts off from the crater, and he yells "Now, it's enough! I'll truly get serious! Prepare to die! Fairy Thronging!!", and as a ghastly aura surrounds him, a rge group and transparent butterflies appears around him, and he expins "These are known as the Hades's butterflies, they'll transport you to the Underworld body and soul, farewell Camus!", and they quickly fly toward me.

  While they are getting closer, I raise my arms in a jug position pointing upwards, igniting and gathering my o to the maximum, and say "Yes, let's end this...", behind me appears the phantom image of the Aquarius, I lower my arms and my o explodes in its full might and I yell "Aurora Execution!!", discharging all the o in the form of a gcial stream that envelopes and freezes the butterflies and Myu behind them so fast that he doesn't even have the time to utter a word, leaving behind only their frozen figures, that I then shatter with a burst of o.

  Jayr POV - Greece, Sanctuary - 1987

  I chase after Bennu Kagaho, who, different from the other Specters, chose to take advantage of that minuscule moment of chaos to move out of the Libra Temple, and oside, I see him take flight using the wings on his Surplice, but before he could escape, I ignite my o and quickly fly above him then grab his head and say "Where do you think yoing?", Kagaho looks at me and says "Let me go!", then his body is enveloped by a dark purple fme, as he tihese Bck Fmes will burn even you, if you don't want every st fio be charred charcoal, you'd best let go".

  And indeed I start to feel the heat on my hand, and already feel the start of a 2nd-degree burn even with the prote of my o and Cloth, but even with this I smile and say "You think these little fmes could scare me...", then I increase the grip on his head and with a fp of the Sagittarius Cloth's wings, I push us toward the ground and sm his head into the ground with such force that creates a huge crater on the reinforced grounds outside the Libra Temple, snuffing off the fmes on Kagaho's body.

  At the same time, I use my o to fix all the damage I received during the brief tact with the Bck Fmes, 'Knowledge of Asclepius for the win! As strong as I'm now as long as my body isn't totally obliterated or my soul is destroyed, I always fix myself... While I'm not immortal, I'm the closest thing to it!', while I was thinking this, Kagaho unleash a burst of bck fmes to free himself from my grip and create some distaween us, and yells "You are annoying! Just die!".

  Kagaho's body is once again enveloped in Bck Fmes, then he gees a huge fireball behind him and yells "Take this! a Bst!!", and shoots it toward me like a small falling star, but I gather my o into my fist, who is then surrounded by clear blue water like aura, and with a punch, I shoot it toward Kagaho's attack "Pugno Onda Anoma (Tidal unch)!!", the attacks csh against oher, and it seems like Kagaho is the o advantage, but as I whisper "Boom...", from the small water-like ball that is slowly being pushed back, hundreds of deyed impact, e oer another, eae strohan the previous, and my attack quickly starts pushing back Kagaho small star.

  Seeing this Kagaho yells "It's not over! a Bst!!", and shoots 3 more star-like fireballs that join with his other one, but even so he 't overpower my attack as the number of deyed impacts keeps increasing, being more powerful and louder until the very space around us starts shaking, breaking apart Kagaho's attad at the same time sending him crashing against the mountain's wall creating a crater in it, then I hear him mutter "I-impossible, you were able to break 4 of my a Bst with only one move!".

  But thes up, lits his fist on fmes, and says "These fmes aren't the only thing I do... What you don't know is that among all the Specters... I'm the fastest!", he then disappears for a moment, and reappears in front of me and starts to throw a series of punches, but I dodge them and say "The fastest? Really? I usually spar with Aldebaran and Milo and their attacks are a lot faster than yours...", and at the same time, I parry his st pund push his arm to the side, creating an opening, then I knee him iomad as he doubles over in pain I hit him on the head with an axe kick, making him crash on the ground and bounce.

  Seeing him like that, I have a quick fshbay days pying Tekken, and on instinct, I start to jungle him to create a bo, I thropercut that hit him on the jaw and make him spit blood as he spins in mid-air, followed by a jumping krike on his back, that raises his body even more, and using the momentum of my previous move, to hit him with my other khen I grab him from the leg and sm him into the ground making him spit even more blood and at the same time, various cracks appear all over his Surplice, and as he bounces once again, I o him and hit him again with a low powered uppercut to pce him perpendicur to the ground, and I hit him with a spartan kick to the stomach that sends him crashing into the mountain wall.

  And to Finish him off, I hold my hands out over my head, pointing towards Kagaho with open palms, quickly gathering the o needed, and yell "White Ice Spears!!" and throw my hands down, crossing them, and my o solidify into numerous solid spears of ice, that moves at the speed of light and easily pierce through his armor and body pinning him to the wall, and watch as my spears, that have reached the absolute zero, quickly freeze his body into an ice sculpture that I make sure to shatter before letting out a sigh and say mimig the familiar tone "Perfect...".

  Soon after I dealt with Kagaho, I feel the whole Sanctuary shake, and then I hear the familiar loud explosion ing from the Libra Temple, and says "It looks like Saga is finally fighting against Viote, really their destructive power is crazy, she gees earthquakes with a simple stomp, and he gees an explosion that literally destroy a gaxy but he trols it in such a way that it damages only his oppo... Really remembering receiving that teique almost makes me have a Vietnam fshback... still ranks iop 3 most painful things that happeo me... And only Poseidon surpassed him, and he is a literal God... Gd he is on my side... and I kind of pity his oppo".

  Saga POV - Greece, Sanctuary - 1987

  After the others went after their targets, I remain here in the tral hall of the Libra Temple, fighting with Behemoth Viote, the area around us is now wrecked with rumbles and broken ns all around us, 'She is one of the physically stro foes I have ever fought until now we only tested each other, and I firm that all that Jayr said about her is true, she is strong for sure, in fact far strohan Aldebaran, but unlike him, she is also slower, and the martial arts are her specialty, not only that but that Brutal Reality of hers was able to match a weak Gaxian Explosion... And she still didn't use her most annoying skill! But it doesn't matter, I win this!'.

  As I was thinking this, I hear my foe ugh and say "Ha, ha, ha! Yes! This is the fight I was waiting for! Until now all my oppos were too weak and frail! This is exg!!", then she rushes at me yelling "I'll enjoy hearing the sound of your bones breaking uhe might of my blows!!", and throowerful punch, but I focus my o oip of my finger and with it, I stop her pund seeing the sho her face I expin "You see, brute strength isn't the only way to fight... I have trated the same amount of o in your atta the tip of my finger..."

  I grab her arm and say "...And with it, I surpass you for an instant!", and throw her in the air and gather my o to unleash my Gaxian Explosion on her defenseless body, but as I'm about to make a move, I notice that I'm uo do so, and as she nds, she smiles and says "You really thought that I only rely on brute strength?", I look down ahat her shadow is ected to mine, while she tihis shadow has sealed away your movement so now you are helpless... Prepare to die!".
