Chapter 81: The Gods Judgment

Ares attempted to find cover behind the fallen wall pieces from the intense battle between Blake and Cassie. Once his vision cleared, he was certain that it was Blake who had come to their rescue.

"I thought he was dead?" Jake questioned.

"I thought so too," Ares replied, tending to his arm wound that drained his strength with its heavy bleeding.

"Is that a bad thing?" Lee inquired.

Ares shook his head. "I can handle it. I nearly passed out earlier. Damn! I don't want to return to the Underworld. The stench of death there!"

They all ducked as large chunks of bricks rained down on them, forcing them to change their positions. The battle between the two was growing increasingly destructive.

Ares shifted his focus back to Blake and Persephone. This time, with Blake's resurrection, he seemed determined to defeat Persephone. He could see the desire to kill his enemy in his eyes.
