The Lust for Power: Chapter 37

Josh's P.O.V

Hyperion started to fade away. I can't let that happen, there should be something that I could do to keep him from fading away. But I thought about what Evan said. He's right about how Persephone does make a difference.

We have to wait for the results. James said that he'd prayed to Hecate to bring Persephone back to Demeter just this once. We waited for the results as we fight the monsters.

The sky is dark as night, it reminds me of Tartarus, where the night is spread triple. Fortunately, my powers were based on the light, not the sun, so I still can regen, but not very fast. I stepped close to the lamp, and I felt my powers increasing by a little. After that, I went battling the monsters.

I saw scythian dracaenas, anemoi thuellai's, laistrygonian giants, the minotaur, and many other monsters that's joining Nyx's force. I charged at the monsters and started slashing and hacking the monsters. I saw rows of monsters turning to dust as I ran them through with my sword. Mikmak used the water to drown the monsters, Evan used the shockwave to turn the monsters to dust. I took the monsters row by row, and when I'm surrounded, I fired a blinding arrow up in the sky to brighten the day for a while. Nyx looked annoyed by this.

"You fool!" Nyx screamed in my head. "Stop that!"

I thought about this. Nyx is the goddess of the night, and she didn't like the light. Lighting the surroundings with bright light really annoys her, so I decided to light another one with a bright light.

I shot an arrow, this time channeling my power thrice as normal. This effort drains my powers, but I gained more energy as soon as I made contact with light, but not really much.

I continued to fought monsters along my friends. Kari and me stood back to back, and when the monsters attacked, Kari used fire and I yelled and a wall of force slammed into them. It's an immense amount of force and that really drained my strength. I saw hundreds of monsters turned to dust and Kari before I passed out from exhaustion.
