After meeting with Sindri, Deimos suddenly talked to his system, asking to see his remaining labor missions.

[Now, with more than 80%, the Host can summon 2 Labors at the same time]
'I can now summon 2 labors? What should I choose,' Deimos thought, thinking about what challenge was suitable for the mountain. He then looked at his system stats once more and decided.
'System, summon the Augean Stables labor and also the Erymanthian Boar,' Deimos said towards his system, which then replied.
[Summoning Augean Stables and Erymanthian Boar summon in 5...4...3...2....1.
[Labors summoned, host, be careful, this would be different from the normal labor, the Augean Stables represents a filth that cannot be cleaned by normal circumstances, in other words, it could be considered as corruption, with the Erymanthian Boar on the mixed]
'Of course, I am the most careful, negligent person in every realm.' Deimos replied, laughing at his joke.
Deimos then continued walking with Kratos and Atreus, where they encountered numerous Poisonous Revenant, Deimos then changed his weapon into a bow, with his limit being imposed once again, when he changed it, the Bow was now in a different form, it was noticeably bigger, with its design similar to the divine bow of Hachiman.
'Let's try that technique, I have never used it from the Nimean Lion Labor,' Deimos thought, pulling the string of the Bow to its maximum, aiming at the hundreds of Poisonous Revenant that were in front of him, while Kratos also tested the newly enhanced Leviathan Axe, when Kratos charged his ice attack, the ice were noticeably colder, Kratos then throws his Axe towards the Revenants, hitting one, immediately freezing it, but the difference is that it was frozen through.
Back to Deimos, who finished charging his attack, he then let go of the string, then the arrow suddenly multiplied into multiple arrows, hitting the Poisonous revenants that was his target multiple times, as if hit by a gattling gun, immediately dispersing more than a hundred of Revenants in 500 in their front.
'Whoa, I wonder how the sons of Thor can survive hahahhaha' Deimos said, thinking about the near battle against the gods. Deimos, Atreus, and Kratos then walked until they reached a stairs, leading them upwards, toward the mountain.
They then continued walking until they reached a bridge that would lead them towards the entrance of a cave. At the entrance, they saw a black smoke coming out of the cave. Atreus then tried walking, but the smoke that touched his skin hurt him, which prompted Kratos to remove Atreus from the smoke.
"What is this?" Kratos asked, but Atreus did not answer, and Deimos just shut up, waiting for Freya to reveal herself, to explain the black smoke herself.
"The witch. Wish she was here. I bet she could get us past this." Atreus suddenly said, as if fit in the timing itself, Freya appeared, using a shape of a hawk which she used for flying, and then switched back to her original body.
"My magic is useless against the Black Breath, and there's no way around it. Odin saw to that long ago," the witch answered,
Before any of them could reply, a loud shriek was heard from inside the cave, which alerted Kratos, but Deimos was getting ready, summoning his arrow into his hand, suddenly huge boar came out of the entrance of the cave, it was a gigantic boar, it have a tusk that comes out of its mouth, that was so long that it reached the its head, it was angry and looking at them.
"WHAT IS THAT?" Atreus then asked, shouting with shock.
"That is the guardian of the cave, it was an enchanted boar similar to my friend, but was corrupted by the black breath," Freya answered.
"You know of it?" Kratos said towards Freya, while getting his axe and getting ready, since the boar is still not attacking and just looking at them.
"Yes, it was supposed to be asleep before the Ragnarok started. I don't know why it's awake," Freya said, while trying to cast a spell.
Deimos, looking at the boar, can't help but see the similarity with the Elder from One Piece, Topman Warcury, since he read One Piece until the Elbaf arc before dying. Deimos then summoned his bow, which seemed to irritate the boar, since it started charging towards them, especially towards Deimos.
Kratos, seeing his son being targeted by the creature at his front, swung his axe at its fullest power, but the hide of the boar was so thick that it simply bounced off. Deimos also just fired his arrows towards the boar, which also bounced off. Deimos then got hit by the boar's full power, knocking Deimos back and immediately coughing up golden blood, which all of them did not notice.
"Boy, are you hurt?" Kratos asked, despite seeing his son get hit head-on with its full power.
'Yeah no shit,' Deimos thought, wanting to answer sarcastically towards Kratos, but decided to just let it go.
"I'm fine, I'll lift my limits now," Deimos answered, charging his attack once again. While doing so, Kratos caught the attention of the boar by removing his axe from his hands and decided to fight barehanded, showing off his strength, but the Boar matched Kratos' strength, adding its weight, giving Kratos a hard time since they are in a limited space. Deimos who looked at the boar, noticed Freya trying to cast magic, but it seemed that she could not conjure offensive magic herself, which Deimos remembered as one of the effects of Odin's curse.
'Poor Freya... no wonder she had to become a recluse; she didn't want to risk being attacked, especially since she couldn't defend herself,' Deimos thought
Back to Kratos, who was wrestling the beast by himself, with Atreus trying to fire his arrow, which was enchanted by the elements, but it did not work towards the boar, who just got angry and started targeting Atreus now. After knocking Kratos back like it did to Deimos, but Kratos fell towards the cliff, the boar then started charging towards Atreus, gaining momentum as it became faster and faster towards Atreus.
Deimos then released his full-powered bow, filled with ice element. The moment he let go of the arrow.
"FWOOSH," it was the sound that the arrow made, until it reached the boar, who was frozen in its place, being covered by ice, stunned in its place. Deimos, seeing that the boar is frozen, jumped towards the boar. The moment he arrived, the boar got free from the ice that was covering it.
Deimos then unleashed his full power to punch the boar, which moved it slightly. He followed up with another punch, but the boar charged at Deimos, intending to stab him with its tusks, which can pierce through bodies. Deimos dodged just in time and immediately grabbed one of the tusks, attempting to break it. He then climbed onto the boar's snout, still gripping the tusk, and started kicking it until there was a noticeable crack, which he then pulled towards him, snapping it in half.
Deimos then took the tusk and stabbed it into the creature's eye with its pointy end, starting to punch the other thick end to push it further towards the boar. It tried to resist, but Deimos got the better of it, killing the boar with its tusks without even using his weapon.
Kratos was then seen climbing towards the cliff, ready to act again, but he saw that Deimos had already finished the job. Meanwhile, Freya watched the strength of the young god in front of her and couldn't help but recall Thor, a strong god who had no qualms about using lethal force. However, Deimos would be scarier, considering that he was still young and had so much potential. She feared that if her son came across him, Deimos would show no mercy towards her boy.
