Survival to Godhood 77 Deception

Inti nodded at Leo's response. "Alright, tomorrow have everyone gather in front of the temple. I will bring the artifact to the water fountain out front. We don't mean to offend, but Leo we must have you stay in the cell until morning."

Even though he seemed genuine, the last sentence bothered Leo. Luckily it is hard to show emotion as a golem.

"Alright."

The guards escorted Leo out of the main hall to his cell. Once the guards and Leo were far enough away. Inti erected a mana barrier around the room to keep out unwanted guest.

Mama Cocha turned to the others and said, "I don't think we should go with this plan."

Catequil turned to her and said, 'What? After only one day, you'd rather save him and not us."

Hearing this Mama Cocha went quiet. Just like the others, she wanted a human body again.

Mama Pacha looked at the others and felt a reluctance, but after being saved by Inti, she owed him her life, and she would follow him forever. Even though she lost her memory, these people became her new family. The only thing she regretted was not getting to know her disciple Supay, but Inti forbid it.

"We must do this for the good of our people," Mama Quilla said to reassure them.

They all nodded and agreed. The exited the main hall and only Mama Quilla, and Inti remained.

"Husband, do we have to trick everyone?"

"We learned long time ago. We can't trust anyone but each other." Inti drew in Quilla to his embrace. They just held each other.

"What will I do without you?"

-----------------------------

That night several animals gathered around a cave entrance up in the heights of the mountain. A man in a black sleeveless tunic stared upon the shadow animals.

"Tonight, we strike the city. Do your best to cause destruction, but do not kill unless you have to. The people have been misled. We might lose several of you tonight, but your sacrifice will allow those who survive to enter Kay Pacha."

All of the animals howled and made noise. Supay smiled, and his animal horde started to charge down the mountain like a shadowy tidal wave.

Inti awoke to sense the incoming attack. "Guards prepare for an attack!" Inti knew this had to be Supay. The newcomer, he is after him. Inti moved his solid body quickly to the dungeon to find an empty cell.

"Damn it." He punched the wall.

Catequil ran over to see his Excellency in a fit of rage. "Your Excellency, what is happening?"

"Supay. He grabbed the boy."

Catequil hated Supay. He cracked his fist balling it into a fist. Catequil was jealous of how much closer White Bird, Piguerao, was to Supay them him his own twin brother. When Piguerao tried to return to Ukhu Pacha to tell what they did to their Master and Mistress, Catequil killed him. Catequil blamed Supay for his death. If he only cared more about him, he wouldn't have to do it.

"Your Excellency, let me hunt him down."

"As you wish."

The giant golem in his shiny silver robe disappeared with a lightning movement technique. As Catequil moved from the corridor to the next, he killed every shadow animal that tried to delay him. At the end of the long hallway, the golem spotted a human.

"Supay!"

Using his slinger, Catequil slung a rock at Supay. Seeing the rock come towards him, Supay erected a barrier of darkness. The rock slammed into, and thunder rolled. Lightning pierced the forcefield and struck Supay.

Supay was flung into the wall. He cultivated death and darkness mana. Supay was more proficient when it came to attacking instead of defending.

"Where is the newcomer?"

Supay slumped off the wall and stared down Catequil. Then he gave him his biggest grin. "I actually don't know."

"Lies!" Catequil channeled lighting into his club and slammed it into the floor. A shockwave and lightning danced toward Supay.

Supay slammed both hands into the floor and fired back his own attack imbued with death and darkness attribute. The two attacks collided and collapsed the corridor between them.

"Nooo..." Catequil screamed. He knew Supay would take advantage of this and run away. Channeling his mana, Catequil sent a message to the other golems. "Supay is escaping with the newcomer in the Southeast part of the temple."

"I'm the closest. I will stop him." Mama Pacha responded.

Hearing that Mama Pacha was the one coming face to face with Supay, Inti sent a message to Mama Cocha to go back up Mama Pacha.

Mama Pacha ran the hall and saw a human running away. Using her control over earth, she easily enclosed the wall in front of Supay. A strange feeling overcame her like she was very familiar with the wall and the construction of them.

Supay turned around and was staring at the only golem he didn't want to face. Even though she didn't look like his Mistress, her aura and mana told him that it was her.

"Supay, surrender." Mama Pacha had the walls enclose on him and surround him. "Now, where is the newcomer?"

For some reason, Supay couldn't help but laugh. "Ha ha ha ha ha..." He didn't know if it was his former Mistress not even knowing who he was, or the fact they thought he knew where Leo went. "I told Catequil, I don't know where he is."

Mama Cocha walked up and said, "Don't trust him. He is a liar." Activating a water attack, Mama Cocha froze to the walls around him. "Its best if we don't let him deceive us."

Mama Pacha nodded in agreement. After everything she heard from his Excellency and fellow subordinates, she didn't trust this stranger frozen before her. The only thing that bothered her was a strange feeling that told her that this man never lied.

-----------------------------

In the cell, Leo disappeared from, stones on the wall started to move and land on the ground. A granite golem appeared from in between the walls. This golem was Leo. He finally grasped earth laws enough to push the stones around and hide.

"Now, while everyone is in chaos, I need to find an Apu to return me to my body."
