[edit] From the Deep Underworld
As the new Holy War with Hades had begun, it wasn't long before Athena's Sanctuary had been infiltrated by Specters with the help of the revived Gold Saints. 17 of Hades' Specters had made it into the Sanctuary, yet as they came further they started to diminish. When they finally reached the Leo Temple, 5 of them were instantelly killed by its guardian Leo Aiolia. It was the Raimi appeared and directed a new attack so the rest charged towards the saint in a new attempt, Raimi saw this as an opening and entangled Ailoia with his Surplice's tentacles. He wanted to defeat the lion by himself, and snarled at the others to not interfere. As the Specters passed through the temple, the Worm Specter had all the time in the world with his prey. Aiolia had a different opinion as he unleashed his cosmo and broke free of the tentacles. He took a hold of a tentacle and pulled Raimi up, so that he could kick him down through the stone floor again. Raimi emerged behind the Saint, refusing to give up he attacked with his "Worm's Bind" again. This time the Leo Saint attacked instantly with his "Lightning Plasma", the Specter died almost instantly wondering how he could have died.
