Chapter 300: Get the first step
While the three Greaille sisters were entangled with each other, Atreus quietly approached alone, and the brilliance of the holy sword could dispel the fog of obstacles and disturb the qi from being discovered by the three Grière sisters.
He walked cautiously through the crevices of the bones on the ground, not daring to make a movement, and just as he reached the pile of flesh and bones, the three Greier sisters, who were tearing each other apart, suddenly stopped, and one of them suddenly raised his head, and the only eyeball was staring at Atreus without blinking.
"Hahaha, stupid human, do you really think we can't hear you?" Pefrido hissed, her mouth cracked open to reveal her only tooth, and pointed at Atreus viciously, "The souls of the dead are condensed into chains of flesh and blood!"
A green light stretched out from her fingers, and the green light appeared on the miserable face of the deceased, holding a beam of light that formed an angular chain, and spun several times towards Atreus, wrapping him tightly.
Atreus was startled, and before the evil spell landed, he hurriedly raised the holy sword in his hand, aimed the edge at the chain, and when the chain was wound to the tightest, he suddenly exerted force, only to hear a crisp sound, and the chain condensed by the evil spell broke into several pieces on the ground.
"Kill him, I want to eat fresh human flesh!"
The eyeless shrine maidens on the side roared loudly in a hurry, and they didn't dare to cast spells at will when they couldn't see their targets, so they could only keep urging the sisters who enjoyed their eyes.
Seeing that the holy sword in his hand was full of power and could restrain the evil spell, Atreus immediately mustered up the courage to shout, and the whole person jumped up, slashing down at the current witch from top to bottom.
Suddenly, the bones on the ground jumped, quickly piecing together a large, bony hand and grabbing at Atreus.
With no room to move in the air, the Atreus could only barely change the trajectory of the sword's fall, and looked towards the bone-hand they caught, only to hear a burst of sparks and bone chips fly, and the huge bone-hand was completely shattered.
Peveredu screamed, "What kind of weapon is this, it can actually restrain my spell!"
Hearing this, Ernio on the side immediately stuck Pefredo's neck, and while his hand was digging into his eye sockets, he hissed and shouted: "Pefredo, you are really incompetent, give me your eyes, and let me kill this human with a curse!"
The three Greier sisters master all the evil spells in the world, among which Peveredu has mastered the vicious soul spell of the dead, which can drive the souls and bones of the dead.
Erneo wields a violent curse spell capable of killing anyone he wants through blood.
Derno mastered a terrifying spell, mobilizing all the elements of the world through language, causing disasters and killing countless living beings.
Erneo brutally pulled his eyeball out of his sister's eye socket and couldn't wait to stuff it directly into his palm. When she raised her hand, Atreus saw that an eyeball was spinning horribly from side to side in her palm.
"Boom...... I see you, what a white and tender body, and I can't wait for that alluring scent!"
Ernio reached out and wiped the skeleton beneath her feet, her fingers immediately stained with dark red blood, and she flicked her fingers at Atreus, and the blood splattered out, twisting and turning into a vicious curse in the air.
The blood curse was still in midair, and Atreus was almost fainted by the stench, and he bit the tip of his tongue to cheer up, gathered all his strength into the holy sword, and slashed towards the curse without hesitation.
The holy sword bloomed with brilliant light at this moment, and the blood curse let out a terrifying scream like encountering a nemesis, quickly dissolving under the light of the light, and finally turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing into the air.
Seeing this, Ernio couldn't help but scream: "This is a holy weapon, and it is also a rare light holy weapon, containing the purest brilliance and restraining all the evils in the world!"
"Eneo give me the eyes and let me use a spell to mobilize the power of nature to kill this man!"
Where is Atreus willing to give the other party a chance to use his means again, he suddenly roared, and then four figures rushed around, and it was the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Swords, shields, spears, and bows and arrows are four weapons that concentrate their power and work together to attack the eye-possessed Oneo.
"Ahh
"What's going on! I heard something else, could it be that someone else is here!"
"Shhh...... Okay, one person is not enough, and we can have a full meal if we come a little more!"
"Fool, are we fed or fed by others, damn cursed by the gods, if it weren't for this curse, how would we be so embarrassed!"
The curse of the three Greier sisters is that they are unable to see not only with the naked eye, but also with magic, divine powers, or all other means.
"Don't care so much, cast a spell and destroy the whole mountain, we can't let the humans tease us so casually!"
The three Greier sisters let out a wicked grin, and at the same time, Deno raised her straight fingers and began to chant a mantra slowly from her mouth.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse tried their best to curse, but ordinary weapons could not inflict fatal injuries on the three Greier sisters.
Just when the evil power was getting stronger and stronger, Atreus's heart moved, and suddenly shouted: "Stop, your eyes are now in my hands, if you don't want to lose your eyes, you will obediently kneel on the ground and beg me for mercy!"
When Pefriedor heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Are you crazy human, your eyes are obviously on my hands!"
Atreus said conclusively, "How do you know it's still in your hands!"
In order to protect her eyes, Pefredo kept clenching her hands into fists and did not dare to relax, but it also blocked her vision, and she couldn't help but have suspicions in her heart when she heard Atreus say this.
She couldn't help but open her palm and raise it to get her sight, and before she could be happy, a loud shout suddenly sounded, and then there was a sharp pain in her arm.
"Ahh
Pefrido clutched his arm and screamed, his severed palm twitching on the ground, and then jumped up like a living being, about to be reunited with his body.
Braumus, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow, which made a piercing whistling in the air, nailing the severed hand to the ground.
"Ah, my eyes, my eyes!"
Pefrido screamed and lunged in the direction of the flesh and blood sense, only to be slashed away by Atreus with his holy sword.
Atreus stepped on the severed hand, escaped from the dagger pinned to his boot, and fought back his nausea to gouge out the spinning eyeball, which was accompanied by a series of veins and nerves.
"Now, the eyes are on my hands!"
The three Greier sisters cursed in shrill voices, but they couldn't see the location of Atreus and groped left and right on the ground, because their only eye was threatened, and they didn't dare to cast spells at will.
"Kill them and accomplish a great feat!"
Hearing this, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse immediately clenched their weapons, as long as they took turns attacking the vital parts, even ordinary weapons could grind the three Greier sisters to death.
Poof!
The sword slashed at the neck with a dull sound, as if it was not flesh, but thick, tough logs.
"Ah, don't kill me, don't kill me!" Peverdo clung to her neck and begged for mercy, only to hear her scream, "I can help you, really, I can help you accomplish an even greater feat, which is the legendary Medusa!"
Hearing Medusa's three words, Atreus's heart moved, raised his hand to signal to stop killing, and asked: "Medusa, but the gorgon banshee in the epic, the queen of Gorgon, who will turn to stone when she gazes?"
"That's right, that's right!" Deno on the side seemed to grasp the straw that saved his life, and hurriedly said: "I know that Medusa has recently fallen into a once-in-a-century slumber, and if I can find her lair, I can cut off her head without even noticing!"
Atreus was moved by this, but when he thought about it, a contemptuous sneer appeared on his face.
"In the epic legend, Medusa is your sister, can you sell your relatives so easily in order to survive?"
Denno, one of the three Greille sisters, rightly screamed, "If you are willing to give us back your eyes, we will point out where Medusa is hiding, and show you how to restrain the death gaze." ”
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse looked at Atreus without saying a word, as long as it was Atreus's decision, they would obey it unconditionally, this was the highest order they received before they left the Orpheus Cult.
Atreus hesitated, and when he saw the soft light of the holy sword in his hand, the image of thousands of people cheering at him in Eliss couldn't help but come to mind, and at this moment, he finally made a choice.
"Well, I promise you, if you tell me everything you know, I'll give you back my eyes and let you live. ”
Before the three Greère sisters could be pleased, Atreus said in a loud voice: "In order to prevent you from secretly poisoning you, you must speak out before I can return my eyes to you." ”
The three Greier sisters had no room for bargaining, and could only quietly pass the secret to Atreus's heart.
Atreus kept his promise and let one of the three Gree sisters grasp the veins and nerves that connected his eyes, while he tied his eyes to a tree, slowly retreating and making noises to prove his existence, and when he was some distance away, he turned and fled as fast as he could.
By the time the three Greier sisters regained their eyes and wanted to take revenge, they could no longer find any trace of Atreus and the others, and could only continue to issue vicious curses on the mountain.
Just half a month after Atreus left, a handsome teenager arrived in the mountains of Forkus with a nervous attendant.
The handsome young man seemed to be familiar with all that Mount Falkus had to offer, and the miasma could not stop him in the slightest, but in a moment he was outside the cave where the three Greier sisters were hiding.
"Grieux, come out!"
Perseus put his hands behind his back, and in a moment there was a sighing sound in the cave, and the three Greère sisters lined up, led the way by one of the Eye-Eaters, carefully groping their way out of the cave.
"Perseus, and Otellus, I can smell you even across the Aegean Sea. ”
Perseus didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Tell me Medusa's sleeping place, and I will promise to bypass you a way out." ”
The three Greère sisters changed color when they heard this, but they didn't dare to scream and curse at will, their faces showed embarrassed expressions, and after a long time, Pefredo, who had eyes, replied in a hoarse voice: "I'm afraid that it is in vain for me to tell you about Medusa's sleeping place, just half a month ago, the owner of the holy sword has already set out from here, and now Medusa's head may have been cut off by the holy sword." ”
"What!" Perseus yelled in disbelief with wide eyes. Subduing the three Greier sisters, and learning of Medusa's sleeping place, while she sleeps is just killed, this series of exploits should belong to him, but he didn't expect to be the first to be taken.
"Who the hell is it...... The master of the holy sword, who has mastered the holy sword that only I, Perseus, is qualified to master, and has also snatched the immortal merit that belongs to me!"
Perseus was furious, he felt a pair of eyes that saw through the fate that was destined to happen in the dark, and laid out the means in advance, taking away everything that should belong to him.
"Go!" Perseus roared, causing Otellus to transform into his original form and carry him, and flew in the direction of Troy in a hurry.
As we pass through a nondescript mountain forest, the weather changes rapidly, and the originally clear sky is covered with thick dark clouds, which are mixed with biting frost, and a kind of blizzard that can only appear on the surface of the sea appears strangely in the interior.
Perseus urged Otellus to rush over desperately, and the king of monsters crashed directly into the dark clouds with his immortal god body, and the countless biting frost could not infringe on it in the slightest, and it didn't take long for the dark clouds in front of him to be shattered, restoring a clear sky.
Perseus looked back and saw that the area was covered in a blizzard, and the surrounding scene was still peaceful.
Perseus sneered, thinking that this was another despicable means to prevent him from going to Troy, so he sped straight towards his destination without looking back.
Atreus followed the instructions of the three Gree sisters, and immediately after crossing the Falkus Hill, he headed in the direction of the north wind.
Attracted by the aura of the holy sword, several strong beasts came to his side and volunteered to become mounts to assist Atreus in his immortal feats.
Atreus rode a tiger through the mountains and forests, and after a few days, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and his body could not help but shudder, and suddenly found a thin layer of hoarfrost on his clothes.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse also raised their heads one after another, and saw that the sky was obscured by a thick layer of dark clouds at some point, and a howling cold wind blew in the air, and the pieces of ice crystals hit their faces painfully.
"According to the guide, Medusa is hiding around here, everyone be careful!" Atreus finished speaking, and took out a bottle from his bosom containing the filthy blood of the three Gryère sisters, only the guidance of the bloodline can break the seal set by Medusa.
As it progressed, the climate became more harsh, and fist-sized hailstones fell down, and the entire mountain forest suffered a raging disaster.
The Holy Sword can restrain all evil and darkness, but it cannot resist this natural disaster, when the buffer trees are destroyed, Atreus and the others are immediately exposed to the hail, and the beasts under the seat run for their lives, shuttling through the large hailstones with difficulty.
Fortunately, a hole suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was still curling green smoke at the mouth of the hole, which was obviously a naturally formed gap to dissipate the geothermal heat.
At this time, everyone didn't care if there would be tumbling molten lava under the gap, and they didn't hesitate to pounce on it, leaving the devastating hail behind.
After safety, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and just as they were about to wait for the bad weather to pass before moving on, Atreus suddenly felt a hot sensation in his hand, and he spread his palm to see that the blood of the three Gryer sisters in the bottle was flashing red.
Atreus was overjoyed to see this, but when he was in a hurry to avoid a natural disaster, he accidentally found Medusa's hiding place.
They followed the clues and walked deeper along the winding hole, and it didn't take long for everyone to sweat profusely, and the scorching heat around them was unbearable for ordinary people.
I don't know how long he walked, but suddenly the front suddenly opened up, and Atreus was the first to walk out of the cave, and he saw a scene that shocked him.
Underneath was tumbling lava, and he was standing on top of the rock wall that surrounded it. In the lava are some large, hard rocks that will not melt even if they are half immersed in the magma.
At either end of the rock face, there are connecting stone bridges, which are extremely rough and appear to be roads used by some creatures.
"These are ......" The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the stone statues scattered all over the rock.
The stone statues remained in their previous postures, drawing bows and shooting arrows or throwing war spears, but without exception, their faces were full of horror.
"These were fearfully mortal but were turned into lifeless stone statues by Medusa's vicious curse, and the expressions on their faces confirmed Medusa's brutal atrocities. ”
Atreus was filled with indignation, and his heart was determined to kill Medusa and eliminate the harm for the people.
At this moment, Braumus, the archer and only female among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, suddenly pointed to a fiery red molten slurry and said in a low voice: "Look, what exists there seems to be Medusa's lair." ”
The crowd followed Braumus's instructions, and sure enough, in the center of the molten lava, there was a most massive rock, and the central stone statue of that rock was the most dense, and in the midst of the stone statues, a monster with a human body and a snake tail could be faintly seen, curled up and falling into a deep sleep.
