Chapter Forty-Eight: The Final Battle
It's all over, the Lost-Canvas has collapsed, the imprisoned souls have returned to the earth, and the king of the underworld who parasitized Aaron has been successfully forced out, and the earth can once again usher in two hundred and forty-three years of peace.
“…… You've won, Pegasus......"
Having lost his strength, Aaron has now reverted to an ordinary teenager, and the hand holding the paintbrush no longer has the need to wield a long sword.
After a strong contrast, the boy slumped onto Tenma's shoulders as if relieved, and there was no trace of black in his long blond hair.
“…… Almost......"
Pegasus also knelt on the ground, having been directly slashed by the Sword of Hades so many times before, it was a miracle that he could just throw the last punch at Aaron.
"Whew! It's a lot of work! After the sword of the sun that pierced Aaron's body turned into a golden point of light and disappeared, Naraku also sat down on the ground.
Now Naraku's appearance is not much better than that of Tenma, he was slashed so many times by Aaron's Hades Sword before, because of the powerful impact of the small universe and the huge load brought by the continuous amplification moves, the inside of his body has been tattered, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is dying.
As for the phoenix holy clothes on his body, he was very embarrassed, it had already been cut to tatters, and it was even more tragic than Naraku's body.
"Pegasus, Brother Aaron, Naraku!!"
Sasha ran over in a bit of a panic, and behind her were the Golden Saints who were still there.
"You two stinky boys, finally ......" This is Tong Hu.
"This time it's rare to praise you for doing a good job, well done, little ghost." This is Manigot.
"Naraku, Tenma, well done!" This is Sisyphus.
Several of the Golden Saints said to Naraku and Tenma, the two youngest Saints.
"Alright, Tong Hu. Now is not the time to cry, we should laugh. These are the words of the future Pope Skorn.
Looking at the people gathered around him, Tenma laughed from the bottom of his heart, Aaron seemed to have passed out from exhaustion, and finally had finished everything, and now, a little ...... Take a break...... And that's okay...... of it......
"Hahaha, I can finally rest for a while, to be honest, I feel very much like lying in bed and sleeping now!" Lying directly on the ground, Naraku said with a laugh.
“………… No, the battle, I'm afraid it's not over yet...... Sasha ......"
"Hey, you little ghost will lie down for me first, although Naraku's sword didn't cause you much damage, but your body was directly pierced by Tenma!!"
At this time, Aaron came with a somewhat heavy step, and his right hand clenched the pendant of the pentagram hanging around his neck, in which there seemed to be a black breath remaining.
“…… Hades he has no intention of giving up, and now he is probably regaining his strength in the palace of Pluto, and then re-occupy my body to start a new round of holy war......"
"What did you say, Aaron?"
“…… Lord Athena, please give the order, we can continue to fight, rush to the palace of Pluto now, knock Hades out completely, and end this holy war. ”
Listening to what Aaron said, all the Saints, including the Gold Saint Seiya, knelt down on one knee.
But Sasha shook her head and said, "No, your battle is over, and you who have survived so hard can't be allowed to fight again." ”
"But, Lord Athena......"
Tong Hu wanted to say something, but Sasha put her finger against her heart, and a small electric current struck her from there.
“…… Woo...... Athena-sama...... It's ......"
"Because it's really hard to carry this divine blood, your heart can't support it anymore, and if you continue to fight, your heart will not be able to withstand the pressure it brings and collapse."
“…… IS THE LAW OF THE GODS OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION (MISOPETHA-MENOS) ......? "Naraku, who once sneaked into the astrological building, naturally understands the spell that Sasha is now casting on Tong Hu.
"Shion, I now appoint you as the next Pope in the capacity of Athena, and return to the Sanctuary alive with all those present. Tong Hu, you will spy on the Demon Star, and Jabfika, Sisyphus, and Manigott will all serve as Shion's assistants to prepare for the holy war in 243 years from now!! ”
Sasha finished reading the order in a fit of rage, placing the Goddess of Victory in their place, and the golden universe formed a large teleportation array, enveloping everyone except Pegasus and Aaron.
“…… Wait, Athena-sama!! This ......"
“…… Don't be a mother-in-law, Tong Hu. ”
"Pegasus, you...... Woke up? ”
"Ah, there's no way to get a good night's sleep like this......" Tenma scratched the back of his head helplessly, and finally said to them with a smile, "...... I...... Ah, it's really nice to be a Saint Seiya, to get to know everyone, to fight, to fight together...... It's really, really happy...... So, all of you have to give me a good life, a good life...... Until the future, meet again......"
The boy's last words were still in their ears, but the boy's figure had disappeared, which meant that the spatial teleportation had been activated, and they had been teleported back to the ground.
"Whew~~ As a result, in the end, the three of us have to be together, Sasha, Aaron."
"No, it's four!" At this time, Naraku's interjection.
"Eh~~ Naraku, you weren't teleported away." Tenma said when he saw Naraku suddenly appear next to them.
"As they teleported away, I distorted the space around me." Naraku smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me, I have retained some of my strength for the decisive battle, and I have already said it, I became a Saint Seiya in order to fight a strong enemy, and you have no right to care about me." ”
"No, Naraku, you're seriously injured and can't fight anymore." Sasha strongly objected, "Since you are a Saint Seiya, then listen to me......"
"Saint Seiya?" Naraku, who lowered her head, smiled, "That's fine!" Thank you so much for the past few years, thank you for helping me so much, now go back, Phoenix, go back and wait for your real master! More than 200 years later, he will definitely appear. ”
Gently patted the phoenix holy clothes on his body, and the holy clothes disintegrated from Naraku's body after a roar, and then formed the shape of a constellation, turning into a meteor and flying in the direction of the holy area.
"It's my long-cherished wish to fight, and I won't let the three of you go alone."
"No, now that you don't even have the holy clothes, you can't let you go!" Tenma scolded loudly when he saw Naraku take off his robes.
"Thank you so much for having mercy on me...... Thanks to this, it seems that I can still struggle for a while......!!! Concentrate all your strength on your feet, "Just take your time!" ”
In mid-air, Naraku once again used the Sky Dance Technique, flying straight to the target all the way non-stop.
"Hey! Wait, Nai......" Pegasus seemed to want to stop Naraku, but before he could catch Naraku with his hand, Naraku had already rushed towards Hades Palace with the force of trampling the earth.
"Let's hurry up too!" That's all Pegasus can do, so run up early to help Naraku.
