The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

(This feeling is...is it possible——!)

Without further thinking, Alexia, who was impatient to interrupt Athena's movements, immediately rushed towards Athena at full speed! But before he could swing the battle axe, just halfway through the journey, the blue flames surrounding him and the battle ax were quickly extinguished! Together with the flames that filled the entire inherent barrier, it was as if there was no fuel, rapidly weakening and shrinking, and the burning momentum was greatly suppressed!

In the sky, the imaginary sky formed by tree crowns and flames was replaced by an endless darkness, and the cold wind blew quietly.

"Tsk——!"

"Back off, Godslayer."

Athena took the initiative to raise the giant scythe and slashed at Alexia's battle ax, and her slender arms showed their strength to match. Athena knocked back the Alexia who was rushing towards her dozens of meters with one blow!

Her feet drew a long ravine on the ground, and after finally stopping her body, Ixia stood up with the completely dimmed battle ax: "...Suppressed my flames? ?”

"Is this your power as the Dark Goddess, Athena?"

83. The stolen dragon

Legend has it that in the age of myth, humans did not have fire. Once night fell, humans could only put down everything and start to rest. It wasn't until Prometheus stole the flame of the sun and brought that flame to the world that humans had fire to dispel the darkness and cold of the night.

From a mythological perspective, this symbolizes the victory of the God of the Sun and the God of Light over the God of Hades. Therefore, the power related to fire has a strong restraint on dark goddesses like Athena.

But the reverse is also true.

Light can drive away darkness, and darkness can swallow light.

"I hate fire."

Athena chuckled.

"Both flames and light are things that come from the sky. As the goddess of darkness and the goddess of earth, I am an eternal enemy of the god of light and the sky. In this sense, I and you The grudge between them is really quite deep, God Killer."

"But now, the disgusting flame has been sealed by me. Although it is not completely sealed for some reason, it can no longer cause any hindrance to me - it is my turn to give you death, right?"

Swish————!

As soon as she finished speaking, Athena rushed towards Exia in an instant! The huge scythe was like the fangs of a fierce snake, drawing a chilling sharp trajectory in mid-air, and quickly slashed towards Ixia's neck!

Athena is the goddess of war. In terms of close combat, she is also a presence that any powerful knight cannot match.

(Ordinary divine beasts are of no use at this time. Now that the sun’s flames have been suppressed, use pure strength and martial arts to kill it!)

This is the judgment made by Athena.

Very correct judgment.

"Qiang————!"

The battle ax and the giant scythe collided, and the impact caused Exia to take a few steps back. But before he could counterattack, Athena's next attack came in pursuit.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

The sickle dances extremely quickly!

Like the battle axe, the scythe is also a rather troublesome weapon to use, at least not as flexible as the sword. But compared to the large battle ax in Exia's hand, the sickle is much more flexible at this moment! In addition, the power of the incarnation is suppressed by the power of the Dark Goddess——

"Qiang Qiang Qiang————!"

With some difficulty resisting the storm-like slashes, Exia did not panic at all, but calmly accumulated the power of the spell.

The power of Jie Huo was weakened. Although this surprised him, it did not completely make him lose his will to fight.

It's just that one's power has been limited. If there was nothing that could be done, then Exia would have died while fighting Kevin.

"Drink————!"

He poured all the accumulated magic power into his next blow, and at the cost of a gash on his shoulder, Exia forcefully launched a powerful counterattack! The dim battle ax directly defeated Athena's continuous offensive with divine martial arts! The heavy bombardment forced the goddess to retreat a short distance.

Landing gracefully on the ground, Athena smiled and said: "Compared to your strength, your martial arts is mediocre, God Killer."

"I know, you don't need to tell me."

The strength of Ixia lies in the diversity of abilities, the strength of her body, and the huge energy in her body. In terms of martial arts, although he is not bad, he is definitely not comparable to the gods. Who made him not choose to study martial arts? At this time, I can only suffer a small loss.

"Then, which incarnation are you going to use next?" Athena raised the scythe with ease. "Among the incarnations of Veleslana, there are several incarnations that are ineffective in a single battle, right? Counting the concubines. Suppressed bad horse, how many more incarnations can you use?"

(Want to use the [Sword]? Prince-sama.)

Shajo Aige asked.

([Calamity Fire] has been suppressed. Although the inherent barrier has not collapsed, there is no way to defeat Athena by continuing to maintain this incarnation. If you want to get back this power, you must use a sword to weaken the godhead of the Dark Goddess——)

(No, not required.)

Alexia rejected Sajou Aige's suggestion.

(This is just a small disadvantage, so don’t use your final incarnation and fight with your current strength.)

If you can't even overcome this kind of adversity, then what's the point of overcoming the end? What's more, it can't be called being in adversity now!

([Calamity Fire] is suppressed, [Witch] and [Paladin] are not suitable for use alone, so among the remaining incarnations that can be used, the more suitable ones are——)

——[I, awaken as]

——[The Sekiryuutei who defeats everything, defeats everything, and destroys everything]

The second incarnation: Red Dragon!

"boom------!"

At the same time that the inherent barrier was lifted, the scorching battle ax instantly turned into the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment burning with blazing flames.

Alexia switched to the [Red Dragon] incarnation that she was most comfortable with on the spot!

After all, this is the power he has used for the longest time, and his proficiency is not comparable to other incarnations that have not been used before. Even if the power of the Sky Fire Holy Judgment may be affected by the power of the Dark Goddess, the weapon is not the strongest in this incarnation. Big power.

The power of the Sekiryuutei has always been with itself!

【boost! boost!佥boost! boost! boost! 】

Five consecutive doublings!

After converting all the power into his own power, the dragon wings of light behind him fully unfolded. The red dragon man crushed the entire Milan square with a momentum like a cannonball, and rushed into the arms of Athena in an instant. In the middle, the Heavenly Fire Saint cut down with a bang!

"Boom——————!"

Shock, vibration, and flames burst out together! Centered on Exia and Athena, the surrounding square sank a lot on the spot!

Then--

"Boom————!"

After a moment of struggle, Alexia, who gained pure power, directly overwhelmed Athena's [weak] limbs, and a heavy blow sent her flying to the sky on the spot!

The dragon wings fluttered, and Exia immediately followed into the sky, and the Heavenly Fire Holy Judge struck down again!

"Qiang——————!"

With excellent skills, Athena cleverly removed most of the force that was slashing at her, and avoided being smashed away again. The corners of Athena's mouth slightly raised: "Did you transform into a dragon this time? You actually let yourself step further into the abyss, you He is truly a hopeless fool, the God-Slayer!”

"[Dragon, winged snake, servant of me, put away your minions in front of me and offer your strength]"

【oh? This power...this is really interesting, partner]

Ddraig's voice sounded in Alexia's heart after a long absence.

[Our power is going to be taken away by this little girl. 】

"——!?"

Almost at the same time that Ddraig said this, the curse power on Alexia surged into Athena's body visibly with the naked eye. The magnitude of the loss of power could be said to be cliff-like, and the man-made collapse was instantly forced. After being released, it has degenerated into the hand-forbidden form of the subspecies, and even maintaining this appearance is a bit reluctant.

After gaining Exia's power, Athena's face turned a lot more rosy. Once again, her power surpassed that of Exia, and she struck a heavy blow with the scythe!

"Boom!"

After flying backwards for a long distance in an instant, she stopped her body in mid-air, and Exia looked at Athena with a complicated expression. At the same time, Athena also came to Aixia and looked down at him: "I am surprised that the dragon essence in you is so pure and powerful. I was once a goddess who was dependent on dragons and snakes, but There has never been such a powerful dependent.”

"Although you are the God Killer, I still want to praise you - you are indeed my child. Because of your strength, even if you die by my hands in the end, I will still be preserved. Your soul will always be with me."

"Be happy, my child. You are the only person in thousands of years that I have admired you so much."

84. The beasts of chaos first appear

After [Calamity Fire], is even the power of [Red Dragon] affected by Athena's power?

And compared to the simply suppressed [Tribulation Fire], most of the power of [Red Dragon] was directly taken away!

If it was just a small disadvantage just now, now, there is no doubt that Exia has fallen into a complete disadvantage!

[This is my concubine’s victory]

Athena was so sure.

She knew the top ten incarnations of Veleslana, so she could conclude that more than half of them were unusable. Even if it was not clear why the God Killer in front of her had the power to transform into a dragon, even so, she could not use it. The advantages it possesses are real, and the only avatar that needs to be vigilant is the abominable golden sword.

As long as you can withstand the power of the golden sword, this battle will be your victory.

"Is that really the case?"

However, after the initial shock, Exia said something that Athena had not expected at all.

【really】?

What's the meaning?

Athena stared at Exia's expression - the shock and surprise that had been shown when the power was taken away and the calamity fire was suppressed, as if it had never appeared before, completely disappeared from his face on, replaced by an expression of [expected].

(Is it possible that this god-killer...)

"Unfortunately, I have no intention of becoming your partner. I am a man who already has nearly two digits of wives. I have no intention of abandoning them and embracing other women - giving up the entire land for a tree. Forest, I can’t do such stupid things.”

Exia came to the same height as Athena.

"Besides, the test is almost over here - you probably don't have any trump cards anymore, right?"

(——!)

Athena frowned slightly: "Did you...intentionally? Deliberately use the incarnation that was restrained and used by me at the beginning?"

"Well~~~ It's not intentional, just give it a try. After all, after reading all the myths about you, my partner guessed that my incarnation would be restrained by your power, but he was not sure Will it be restrained or not, so I thought of giving it a try first.”

Although it is a waste and a pity to use your most powerful incarnation and most skilled incarnation at the beginning of the battle, it is better to suffer a small loss now than to be affected at a critical moment later.

Thanks to this, we now know that Athena has the power to suppress the power of [Calamity Fire] and to seize the power of [Red Dragon].

"The power to suppress [Calamity Fire] comes from the Godhead of the Dark Goddess, and the power to take away my dragon power probably comes from your side of the Earth Mother Goddess, right?"

"I read it during the day."

"In ancient times long ago, human ancestors believed that the soul of the deceased would turn into a bird and fly to the sky, or be guided by a bird into the underworld. So the bird is also a symbol of the god of the underworld to a certain extent, and your essence is a snake The goddess, after combining with the bird, you will become your original form - [Winged Snake]."

"That's [Dragon]."

Alexia eloquently explained the source of Athena's power.

"It's still a bit far-fetched to do this. After all, the winged snake is just a snake, not a dragon. The real reason why you become a goddess with dragons and snakes as your dependents is the myth that has been spread all over the world - [ The hero slayed the dragon and the snake] - this kind of legend, right?"

"......shut up."

Athena's expression turned gloomy.

The hero killed the dragon and snake and married the beautiful princess. This is a myth and legend that has been recorded all over the world, and there are so many that it can be said that they are somewhat similar.

Hercules, Perseus, Susanoo...these heroes who killed dragons and snakes were called [Steel].

If this myth is substituted into the evolution of human history, it corresponds to the transformation process from [matriarchal society] to [patriarchal society].

The goddesses who used to dominate the earth and sky were overthrown by the rising male gods. The myths belonging to the goddesses were also tampered with by the victors, and were altered beyond recognition.

The oldest Athena and her clones all fell into being the wife, sister or daughter of the God King, losing their past glory. Athena became the king's daughter. Metis became the king's wife and was deprived of her wisdom, and Medusa even degenerated into a monster. Not only that, Hera or Aphrodite in Greek mythology are also defeated earth mothers.

The winged snake - the dragon - was once regarded as a symbol of faith and could be said to be a symbol of a holy beast. After the myth was tampered with, it degenerated into a monster and monster.

The evil dragon that appears in countless heroic myths, the dragon that is defeated by heroes and gods, is exactly what the defeated Earth Mother looked like after being degraded.

It is not because they are evil monsters that they are punished, but in order to fabricate their own legitimacy, the victors smear the losers as evil monsters, and then spread the story of them destroying the monsters.

Because of this, the divinity of the Earth Mother Goddess was fundamentally denied, and changes in social patterns caused Athena to fall from the ancient goddess to the image that is now widely circulated.

"Is it just to make me aware of such a humiliating past that you take such an initiative to weaken yourself?"

"no."

Alexia shook her head: "I don't mean to disrespect you at all. But whether it's being knocked down, the humiliated past, or you as the Queen of the Mediterranean, they are all part of you. Defeat them all head-on, then that's it." Let me defeat you completely——By the way, this reason is what I feel now.”
