Kevin nodded and he said to him: "Hurry, the others need you more than us, I won't do anything stupid, I promise."
Elias then said to him before leaving: "Miguel thought it was pretty stupid that you chose to evolve Axel in the middle of a fight... And he wants me to lecture you later, so give me some face, okay?"
Kevin's smile widened and he said: "Don't worry Dad, I'll find the words to explain my choice. Go ahead now!"
Elias was about to teleport into the combat zone, when suddenly he changed his mind and entered the protective circle of his Chains of Restraint, who didn't move as they recognized their Master.
He advanced straight towards Kevin, who looked surprised but didn't step back, which showed that he wasn't afraid of him and that he trusted him completely, and then he took him in his arms, saying to him: "I'm so sorry I couldn't come sooner, but I had to make sure that you and Axel's world wouldn't be attacked in our absence... I was really scared when I felt that you'd activated your Stage 3."
Kevin hugged him too and he said to him: "Don't worry, I'm fine, we're all fine, and as soon as Axel finishes strengthening his meridians, he'll be able to fight Gods of God level 10/10."
Elias then looked at him and then he looked at Axel before saying: "So this is what you had in mind all along, with this level Axel will be able to fight Lilith herself if she shows up and Ulyss and Roman will no longer be opponents out of your reach."
Kevin nodded and he told him: "The next step is for me to become a Priest as soon as possible, because with the boost that my basic Stats will undergo, I'll be able to use my Stage 3 on a more regular basis, at least that's what I hope."
Elias put a hand on his shoulder and told him: "There's no doubt about it, and your Stage 3 will also be much more powerful... See you on the battlefield, son!"
Kevin smiled and said: "Take care of yourself, and not just the others!"
Kevin caught a glimpse of Elias's smile just before he disappeared and he immediately turned to Axel and asked him, using their link, 'Is there anything I can do to help… Give you Ashton's remedy or a Healing potion perhaps?'
But Axel then told him, 'I'm almost done, and thanks to my Runes I'm completely fine so I will be able to fight right away.'
Kevin then said, 'Wonderful, you heard Elias, right? So you better display your new abilities in the battlefield, otherwise Miguel won't let us off this time.'
Kevin heard Axel laugh resouning through their link, but suddenly Axel stopped dead and he tensed up just when Kevin felt it too.
He turned around and a black portal appeared in front of them and Lilith and Cassandra then came out of it.
They did look like 2 Godnesses, they were as pretty as they were frightening, and the aura that emanated from them gave him goosebumps.
A thick shield of black particles enveloped them like a second skin and Lilith then said: "Really very touching, I've never seen Elias hug anyone before... You must mean a lot to him."
Since Kevin didn't react and looked at them almost bored, she added: "That's rather good news for you, it means that I don't need your daughter anymore. You'll be the perfect bait so I can finally get rid of him and his husband who was forced to come out of the shadows because of Diana."
Kevin then heard the growl of Axel's Wolf through his link, and he said to him before sitting down on the floor, to challenge these Goddesses and make them understand that he really didn't fear either of them, 'Let them talk, they won't be able to break through the protective circle of the Chains of Restraint, so stay focused on finishing as soon as possible, I can't wait to go fight them.'
Axel with his double voice which meant that his Wolf was as ready to fight with him, then said, 'Lilith is for me, but be careful with Cassandra, she is more powerful than before.'
Kevin then said to him, 'Me too, I'm much more powerful than before, moreover the Chains of Restraint will protect us so let's try to fight them, but if we can't handle them, we will join the others right away.'
Axel told him that he understood and Kevin then said to Lilith and Cassandra, still looking at them as if he didn't care that they were there: "If Miguel has decided to come out of the shadows it's just because they've finally discovered what they've both been looking for for millennia, and so he no longer has any interest in remaining in the shadows, and even though Diana is linked to what they were looking for, it has absolutely nothing to do with the threat that she could represent for them."
Cassandra then said: "So during all those millennia they were looking for the Sword of the first God of War…"
Lilith looked at her then, but she then understood: "When Elias became the God of War he had inherited the powers of the first God and everything that was in his possession, everything except his Sword… So that's why his husband stayed hidden, to be able to look for it when Elias was taking care of keeping the Universe at peace with his Warrior Spirits, they knew during all this time that the one who possessed this Sword would be a potential threat for them."
Cassandra then used their telepathic link to say to Lilith, 'And they were right, the power of this Sword is really out of the ordinary, not even the Acrium is close to its power.'
Lilith then smiled and she said to her, 'Elias and his husband are really tough opponents, they are smart and powerful, but they have also weaknesses, so let's use them against them.'
