Chapter 48: Athena's Shield
King Akrisios of Argos learned from a revelation that he would be killed by his daughter Danae, and imprisoned her in a bronze tower. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zeus turned into a golden rain and met Danae and gave birth to a word, he was Perseus.
After Perseus was born, Akrisios packed Perseus and his mother Danae in a box and threw them into the sea. Zeus blessed the mother and son, who were drifting in the sea, and guided the box through the wind and waves, and finally the box drifted all the way to the island of Serifos, close to the shore.
There were two brothers on the island, Dictis and Polydecteus, who ruled the island of Serifos. Dictis was fishing on the seashore when he saw a wooden box floating in the water, so he hurriedly pulled it up to the shore. When they returned home, the brothers felt sympathy for the abandoned victims and took them in.
Dictis's elder brother, Polydecutes, fell in love with his mother, the beautiful Danae, and he was bent on sending Perseus away in case he spoiled his own and his mother's good deeds. Perseus had already seen through his face, and at the banquet held by Polydectes, he offered to give Polydectes a gift, and Polydecertes maliciously demanded the head of Medusa, the youngest sister of the three sisters of the vicious monster Gorgon, known as the "Banshee".
Medusa was once a beautiful goddess, but after being cursed by Athena to become a rattlesnake body, hair is a group of poisonous snakes, skin is bronze scales, and there are golden wings on the back, and anyone who peeks into her eyes will immediately be turned into an "ugly" monster carved in stone - just defined as "ugly", but anyone who has seen the image of Medusa knows that although she is a foreign mother, she is actually quite beautiful, whether it is a portrait sculpture or a card face set by the moon. (If you are interested, you may wish to take a look at the sculpture that has been handed down to this day, it is really beautiful.) )
Young, resolute and resolute, Perseus was not afraid of a challenge, and he packed his bags and set out on a journey.
The gods blessed the brave young man (Athena, wanting to kill Medusa completely, secretly plotted everything).
Hades lent the cloak, Athena the shield, and Hephaestus the flying shoes and the snake scythe. Relying on these treasures and his own wit and strength, Perseus managed to cut off Medusa's head.
After Medusa's death, her head still retains the terrifying ability to petrify. To avoid petrifying himself, Perseus put Medusa's head in a bag he carried with him and offered his head to Athena.
After Perseus' death, Zeus ascended him to the heavens and became the "constellation of Perseus", a well-known legend that elevated it into a powerful treasure.
Shinji used to slash the monsters summoned by the dirty inkstone and caster was the "Scythe of Medusa" created by Hephaestus;
The petrified swarm is part of Medusa's skull, the petrified eye "Cybele".
Most of the souls of the Absorption Seal Dirty Inkstone are "bags where the heads of monsters are placed".
Carrying him in the night were the "feather shoes that walked through the air" lent by Hephaestus.
Changing his appearance and hiding his form was the cloak that Hades had lent.
The shield used to fend off the tentacle volley was the shield lent by Athena. Like Iskander's chariot, it was a combination treasure and the only chance Shinji found to win.
According to legend, after Perseus returned the shield and offered Medusa's head, Athena fixed Medusa's head in the center of the shield, making the shield purely used for defense become a treasure that integrates attack and defense, and truly transformed "Aegis" from "Aegis" to "Athena's Shield".
Because the inlay of Medusa's head was done by Athena herself, and does not belong to the legend of Perseus, Perseus's treasure is still separated from the shield.
Petrification is a gradual process from the outside in, that is, it starts with the highest-level petrification magic eye like Medusa, and it takes about ten seconds to petrify the huge tentacles.
The Eye of Medusa is the most expensive of the several treasures listed, and it requires Shinji to concentrate the magic power of his whole body, at this time he can't use the magic that strengthens his body's functions, and ten seconds is enough time for the tentacles to shoot him to death with some petrification.
In order to achieve victory, Shinji deliberately had the tentacles wrap around his body, and he did not take the lead in manifesting the shield regardless of the cost of mana. Under the protection of the shield, Shinji buys enough time to successfully recreate the legend of the "Athena's Shield".
Now, the shield belonging to Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, is complete.
Gorgon's monster queen, Medusa the gorgon, open your eyes!
The underground waterways illuminated by the golden glow emitted by the shield instantly dimmed, like the dark shadow in the center of the shield, and everything that the golden snake eyes saw was covered in cyan and gray, accompanied by a slight "click" sound.
Under the Petrified Eye "Kubler", it unconditionally petrifies objects with mana level C and below.
The first tentacle monster to bear the brunt of the attack began to turn from the epidermis to stone, and the signs of petrification soon spread to the mouthparts and stones.
At this time, the tentacle monster was not aware of the danger, and it was still tightening, and the petrified part of the hardness was not high and the result of rubbing and squeezing with the god-made shield was only one consequence - it collapsed and turned into stone chips scattered on the ground.
After a few seconds, the tentacles in front of the shield were completely destroyed. The most important persistence of the Wrap skill, one of which is uncontrolled, the Wrap is naturally disengaged.
The crisis passed, and it was Shinji's turn to fight back.
He didn't bother to check the injuries on his body, and put away the "Athena's Shield" as soon as possible, and his backhand was a set of scythe combos.
Now that he has obtained Perseus's treasure, of course, he must use it well, and half of the physical skills that Shinji has learned are related to the scythe.
Over the years, Skaha mastered the use of all the weapons in the world, including the scythe, and under her tutelage, Shinji made great strides in the use of the scythe.
He no longer only knows how to wield indiscriminately with his strength and the special effects of the treasure as he did when he killed the dirty inkstone, he knows how to hook, he knows how to pull, he knows how to flirt, he knows how to cut, and he knows how to combine all kinds of basic movements into combos.
This set of combos is first slashed diagonally from the top right to the bottom left with the outer blade of the "Snake Hunting Scythe", then the backhand is hooked and pulled with the help of the inside blade, and finally ends with a horizontal slash.
In the blink of an eye, the tentacle monsters that ravaged and destroyed a large underground water network were torn apart, and the special effect of "bending and prolonging life" deprived the tentacles of their regenerative ability, and it had only one end - destruction.
