remember to shift, and 27

I just wanna know what my life is for

Winning every match I have to play

I haven't felt like this before

The truth is gonna be revealed today

I really don't have anyone to slay

No need to live this way

Love will fill the world

and it will reign supreme forever!

Saint Seiya, we're calling out for you

Saint Seiya, help us to come through

The nebulae of confusion

The clusters of trepidation

The whirlpools of indecision

Will lead us to the realm of Athena

the distant memories have lost their colors

I open the old artbox silently

my childhood friend was always there,

with an unchanging smile.

our dreams were drawn

on the heart's canvas

the colors have not faded yet

holding hands,

we experience the warmth from the past...

why do people have love and hate

were we born like this?

happiness and sadness are entwined,

forever shackling our youth.

Chapter 5 Poison Rose

Lord Hades.

Pandora?

Yes, my lord.

My greatest apologies for disturbing you in your moment of enjoyment.

It's fine.

So, what is it?

Yes... we have news that Fyodor, Mandrake of the Celestial Pain Star,

was defeated by an unknown enemy inside our territory at the Banks of Hell.

He sent a messenger to us before that,

saying that he had captured someone related
to you, someone who looked like Pegasus.

Of course, we know that you have already dealt with him.

It must have been a mistake.

After descending into the underworld,

he should be dead already, being binded by its laws.

Besides, Pegasus isn't on the celestial map
that represents the life forces of the Saints.

Where're you going?

What the heck is this mission that's supposed to affect the outcome of the Holy War?

The strongest trio in all of Hades' Army,
named the "Three Judges of Hell".

One of them is heading towards the Sanctuary!

I've got to get back quickly, and deal with him in order to protect Sasha...

You mean Lady Athena, right?!

Don't be so casual.

That hurt, Yato!

You're here to save me, no?

You'd better keep this in mind:

I ain't here because I like this place!

I was forced to be here!

What do you mean by that?

Well, what I'm saying is that,

Hades ended your life so easily.

"Easily", you say!

Ain't it so?!

Then this Yuzuriha popped out of nowhere, and I ended up at Jamir.

Jamir?

So, being good friends is a pain, too?

It's good to get along well like this, but it's a waste of time.

Like we're getting along well!

I'll tell you the details later.

For now, we must find the path which leads
to the deepest part of the underworld.

Let's go.

Wait up!

Yuzuriha!

That bracelet is infused with Lady Athena's prayers.

But, once all of the flowers wilt, you'll truly be dead.

I can't die here!

I'll definitely return!

Wait for me, Sasha!

I see... Sasha.

No... Athena.

By the way, Pandora.

Yes, my lord?

Will they be alright; those Specters who're heading towards the Sanctuary?

Please do not worry.

Gryphon Minos of the Celestial Nobility Star
is one of our unparalleled Three Judges of Hell.

In the eyes of that puppet master,
the Sanctuary is just a playground.

Seems like it's begun.

Damn it. We won't let you enter the Sanctuary, damned Specter!

It's good to be passionate about your work.

But you're too weak...

If that's the extent of your powers,

then you're nothing but mere puppets,

to be manipulated,

not only by your mistress Athena,

but also by your enemies, like me...

Cosmic Marionettion!

We're... being manipulated by these strings!

Our bodies are moving on their own...!

Lives at the call of my fingers.

How transient they are.

Lord Minos.

We've defeated the Saints that were stationed here.

But those damned Saints keep on coming.

They're bent on preventing us from entering the Sanctuary.

There's no hurry.

We're getting close to the Sanctuary, after all.

Through the fights so far,

you should know what their strength is like by now.

Rose petals?

The path to the Sanctuary is completely occupied by red roses?

Fools. Do they expect to stop us with these thorns?

Do they expect such tricks to work on Surplices-wearing Specters like us?

What...?

This is..

We shouldn't get any closer, Lord Minos.

These are demon roses, and especially powerful ones at that.

Just one breath of its scent can take anyone's life away.

You're one of Rhadamanthys' men, aren't you?

Why are you here?

Deep Niobe of the Terrestrial Darkness Star.

It doesn't really matter, does it?

More importantly, the one who concerted this stage seems to have shown himself.

Welcome, Specters.

You're!

I'm Albafica, the Pisces Gold Saint.

The Pisces Gold Saint?

Albafica?

One of the 12 peerless Gold Saints.

So, you came all this way from the 12 Zodiac Houses for a fight?

But, that man...

he is...

indeed very beautiful.

How foolish of them,

to go straight for death.

It is as he said.

These are demon roses.

If, like those two, you're having death thoughts, then you're welcome to enter my garden.

Or perhaps, fellow Specters, you'll give up here and go back...?

What's with this arrogance?!

We'll be fine as long as we don't touch the thorns.

After all, he's standing among the roses right now, isn't he?!

Royal Demon Rose!

Damn you.

W-Why...?

Why are you unaffected by these poisonous roses?

We're safe thanks to your loyal men, Lord Minos.

Don't be deceived by his pretty looks.

He's a poisonous rose,

just like the roses in his garden.

There's a red mist emerging from the mountains surrounding the Sanctuary.

Could that be from Albafica's demon roses?

Dohko!

Oh, Shion!

How are the defenses coming along?

Looks like we'll make it in time.

Some of the other Gold Saints are helping to coordinate as well.

We have to thank Albafica for setting up the demon rose trap beforehand.

It won't be easy for the Specters to get through the demon rose gardens surrounding the Sanctuary.

So, he's fighting alone?

I once heard a rumor about the Pisces Saint.

As you know, the House of Aries protected by me is the first of the 12 Zodiac Houses which lead to the Pope's Hall and Athena's Colossus.

We, the 12 Gold Saints bestowed with the 12 Golden Constellations, protect our own Houses.

And the House of Pisces, which is the last of the
12 Houses, leads directly to the Pope's Hall.

As such, there's a garden of demon roses in between to stop intruders.

No one can withstand these toxic roses.

Thus, in order to coexist with these toxic roses,

the guard of the Pisces House must have immunity to poison.

Albafica has that perfect constitution.

Right now, his blood is deadly poison as well.

People may admire him because of his beauty,

but he rarely gets close to anyone,

probably because of his poisonous form.

Beautiful roses come with thorns, huh?

It's more than that, Dohko.

Roses are condemned to a life of solitude because of that.

Who's next?

Will you send the rest of your men to their graves?

Or perhaps...

...you'll face me personally?

Gryphon Minos of the Celestial Nobility Star.

Well well, Lord Minos.

Allow me to take care of this.

Their poison is ineffective against me.

The roses have a pleasant smell.

I doubt that a lowlife like you would understand the scent of a rose.

Come, I'll play with you.

Fine then!

I'll wreck that pretty face of yours!

What!?

You wanted to do something to my face?

What's this black rose?

A rose which decimates everything it touches.

Piranhian Rose!

It's futile. There's no point in hiding from the black roses.

However, I'll praise you for surviving inside this garden.

But, 'tis the end for you.

Your roses are the futile ones.

What?

The roses...

No way. The roses are wilting.

What's this mist surrounding the roses?

Deep Fragrance.

This fragrance of mine is much thicker than that of your demon roses.

The sweet aroma penetrates your skin and paralyzes your senses.

Then it enthralls the enemy into a hopeless sleep of death.

This is bad.

This mist is spreading too quickly.

At this rate, it'll pass through the roses and enter the Sanctuary.

No, before that, the village nearby...

I can't let this poison spread!

What?

The aroma is gathering around him.

What is he thinking?

Look! The sky that was colored with
Lord Alfabica's red mist, just like the sunset sky...

It's now turning into a creepy purple.

Did something happen to him?

The Saints who protect the land won't go down that easily.

Everyone here in Rodorio Village should know that!

Even so, protecting Athena is definitely their priority.

We'll just be abandoned when the time comes, right?

I don't wish to be involved in some Holy War just because we live near the Sanctuary.

It's ok. Lord Albafica is a kind person.

Before he set out, he promised to protect us.

Gone, huh?

No matter what, taking all my poison into the body is...

Damn you!

Talking big, were you? Who cares about the scent of a rose?

How dare you damage my Surplice!

What was that? I had a strange sensation.

This is...?

A red mist?

When did it...?

Impossible...

Your toxic fragrance wasn't such a big deal after all.

It can't be! Even after absorbing so much of the Deep Fragrance...

Why!?

How foolish. Did you think your poison would harm me?

I've spent so much time living with these poisonous roses,

that my blood has become poison itself!

Crimson Thorn!

The bloody mist became needles?

The Deep Fragrance must have enveloped you in such a way that the aroma from my demon roses didn't affect you.

Then I only have to send my blood poison directly into your body!

Impressive.

You look happy, Gryphon Minos.

Indeed.

You're such a perfect puppet.

You'll be a wonderful puppet, Pisces Albafica.

I'll fight you myself, then.

Gigantic Feathers Flap!

Look!

Lord Albafica's roses are being blown into the sky!

What's going on?

Lord Albafica...

What technique is this?

The rest of the demon roses were blown away.

Even without Niobe's help, the demon roses were never a problem to begin with.

How does it feel to have lost the poison roses you were so dependent on?

You're the only poison rose left standing.

No, I guess you're just a weak and pitiful flower.

Do you think I can't fight without them?

Piranhian Rose!

Wh-what!?

My body, it's...

Cosmic Marionettion!

What?

You can no longer move according to will, let alone move one finger.

Anyone who's caught by these invisible strings becomes my loyal puppet.

There are no exceptions, even for a Gold Saint like you.

He did it!

As expected of Lord Minos!

What are you doing?

Head towards the Sanctuary, while I keep this guy in check.

Yes!

Wait...!

Come to think of it, you absorbed all of Niobe's Deep Fragrance

so as to prevent it from spreading.

And, I heard that there's a small village near the Sanctuary...

Interesting. We'll raise our morale a little before attacking the Sanctuary.

Kill everyone in that village!

Yes!

What!?

W-Wait!

Like I said before, it's useless.

Why you...

The strong have the special privilege to prey on the helpless weak.

If you resist, I'll break your bones.

But it'll be a waste to destroy a doll like you.

I'll toy with you a bit, before entering the Sanctuary.

Shall we begin by demolishing that pretty face you're so proud of?

Will it be the arms next? The legs?

Or shall I rip your neck off?

You choose!

Yes, let's take care of those hostile eyes first.

Minos.

Minos!

I don't feel like playing with you, and I won't be toyed with.

Face, arm, legs. Destroy whatever you like.

However, I won't let you through here!

Wow... Breaking your shoulder in order to deal with my Cosmic Marionettion.

I see that you're prepared to be torn.

Interesting.

Lord Hades, it's only a matter of time before Minos invades the Sanctuary.

Pegasus is dead, and that thief, Athena will soon be...

After that, no one will stand in your way.

It'll be according to what you wish.
