If Rowan could talk, he would have screamed at Boreas that barely a moment ago the Third Prince had vanished from his restraints and was now behind Boreas, although to all appearances he was still trapped.
He had no ally here, but it was important to him that the Third Prince fall on this day.
A loud blast occurred behind the god, and a shockwave was sent out, the wreath of flowers on his head was torn apart, and Rowan expected a repeat of the past with the Demon Prince, but he was surprised to see it was the body of his Third Prince who had been sent flying.
The attack on the Third Prince was not from Boreas as he was clearly surprised by the commotion behind him, it had instead originated from Kohron.
The Demon Prince's body had arisen and it was moving without his head, what had slammed into the body of the Third Prince was the long tail of the Demon, which he had wielded like a whip, and directed the extremely sharp ends towards the body of the Third Prince who went flying until he blasted into the moon, cracking that heavenly body nearly in two.
Coincidentally, he was buried beside the head of Kohron, and he was clearly shaken up when he stood up, he was bleeding by the side of his head. He stood up only to fall again to his knees.
On his back where the point of the tail had slammed into him was a thick living clump of Hellfire that was trying to dig into his body. Around him was a bright halo of electrified blue plasma that took the forms of swords and Spears and appeared to be digging into his flesh.
The Third Prince's eyes were dazed as if he was struggling to bottle something inside as he kept whispering, "stay down… stay down… damn it, stay down!"
The eyes of Kohron lit up and he growled, "Lunatic. The same trick will not work twice. I will kill you with my own hands."
The Demon Prince inhaled, and the body of the Third Prince was sent flying towards his open mouth. He snapped it shut, but he missed as the Third Prince appeared a few miles away, he was still disoriented but was rapidly regaining his faculties, as he easily dismissed the Hellfire burning in his back with a single wave of his hand, and began to crush the weapons of lightning around his body.
"Slippery bastard." Kohron cried out, "Hey, find a way to hold him down, my authority over Strife is a point of vulnerability for him, continue basting him. More lightning!!!"
Rowan's eyes blazed, it appeared that they might have a way to win, and the quick thinking of Kohron that allowed him to analyze the actions and weakness of the Third Prince was outstanding, and showed his superb battle awareness.
"Silence Demon." Boreas replied, but he must have still acknowledged him, as he commanded the ball of electrified plasma to shoot towards the Third Prince.
It went so fast it appeared as if it teleported towards its target, and the instant it was about to engulf the Third Prince, he yawned, "Not again." He sighed.
Then everything froze.
The entire universe turned to a shade of black and white, except for the eyes of the Third Prince that shone red.
Reality began to fuzz at the edges like an old television channel with poor reception. The Third Prince's body was also frozen, but something inside of him was not.
The chest of the Third Prince parted open and a naked figure covered with blood fell from his chest, like a madman version of a childbirth.
