Chapter Ninety-Two: Breaking Through the Siege
Kratos looked up at the large amount of blood wrapped around the royal city of Thebais, and he knew that it was hidden the commander of the alliance between the two countries, the uncle of Xuros, Iphicles. Although the battle between him and Xu Rose just now only lasted for seven or eight breaths, the movement that occurred in it was likely to have been noticed by the thousand-strong man.
Thinking of this, Kratos no longer hesitated, he took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the tumbling qi and blood in his body, summoned the gray griffin and jumped onto his back.
The gray griffin's strong claws kicked the ground, and its streamlined body soared into the air before it suddenly stretched its wings, and after two flutters of its wings, it quickly went to the sky, and after another breath, it disappeared without a trace.
Almost the next moment Kratos left, the qi and blood that wrapped the Thebai royal city suddenly fluctuated violently, and the largest strand separated from it, sweeping in with an incomparably shocking power.
The last man in dark gray armor with a rough face descended from the sky, like a meteorite slamming into the ground, and the powerful impact instantly shook the surrounding environment into smithereens.
When the man saw the headless corpse still bubbling with blood on the ground, his pupils contracted violently, and a terrifying wave of devastating devastation suddenly erupted from his body.
"Whoever dares to kill my own nephew, I will slaughter your entire clan!"
Kratos, who was fleeing rapidly in the air, suddenly felt a terrifying wave coming from behind, and was shocked by this fluctuation, and the gray griffin beast soul under his seat let out a mournful roar, and the body formed by the condensation of qi and blood actually showed signs of dissipation.
"It's terrifying, this is the strength of Iphicles, his qi and blood are at least tens of thousands of horsepower, even if he is out of sight, he can still feel it so clearly. ”
Kratos didn't dare to stop at all, he kept urging his qi and blood, increasing the speed of the gray griffin's flight to the extreme, and in the blink of an eye, it flew extremely high in the air.
Kratos steered the gray griffin into the air as he continued to fly high into the air, constantly thinking about what to do next. If he killed Xu Ross, he would definitely not be able to appear in front of the allied forces of the two countries, otherwise as long as he leaked a little qi and blood, he would immediately attract the attention of the thousand-strong man.
Just as Kratos was about to harvest the spoils and devour all of Xuros's incredibly large qi and blood, a city standing on the plain suddenly appeared in his sight.
Tens of thousands of soldiers formed a battle formation, and the aura of slaughter formed almost condensed into substance, surrounding the city to the ground.
According to the information that Kohler heard, the reason why Thebes was defeated so quickly was because the nobles of the kingdom were afraid of the wrath of the demigod Hercules, and tried in vain to push out the royal family of Thebais and become a scapegoat to help them clear their name.
Kratos seemed to think of something in his heart when he saw the royal city of Thebais in front of him, and took out a piece of carefully folded parchment from the gap in his belt, and when he opened it, it was densely filled with the names of more than a dozen people, and Valyber and Xuros, who had been killed by him, were among them.
This parchment was given to him by Heinrich, and the names of the dozen or so people on it were all strong men with a strength of more than 100 people, and not only Argos and Tirins, but also the high-ranking officers subordinate to Thebais.
This is a secret mission given to Kratos by Heinrich on behalf of the Kingdom of Mycenae, and its purpose is self-evident.
Having been a feared top agent in his previous life, Kratos knew at the time that there were no low-hanging fruit benefits in this world.
And harvesting the heads of the strongest on the list for the King of Mycenae is the price Kratos has to pay for using the Nemea gloves.
As for the intention of the King of Mycenae to harvest the heads of the strong, Kratos didn't care at all, what he wanted to do now was to develop the war according to the established script, and pull the barbaric country he longed to destroy into the flames of destruction.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, and before the official decisive battle, the city of Thebais is the safest place, so if I rush directly into it, I may be able to reap unexpected benefits from the chaos. ”
A series of plans flowed through Kratos's mind, and then under his mind, the gray griffin suddenly flew higher until it broke through the clouds and reached the sky directly exposed to the sun.
Rush!
The gray griffin flapped its wings several times in a row to accelerate, and when the speed of the fall reached its extreme, it retracted its wings and fell through the air with minimal resistance, like a powerful arrow breaking through the air towards the location of the royal city of Thebais.
The movement in the air immediately attracted the attention of the besieging army, and the fierce aura of the rivalry immediately changed, condensing into a huge crossbow arrow in the air, aiming at the attacker who was trying to appear from the sky.
Kratos instantly felt like he was being stared at by death, and the hairs on his whole body exploded, as if he would be sent by thousands of arrows in the next second, and there would be no corpse on the spot.
"Beast Soul Condensation!"
Kratos roared, his blood surging according to some mysterious law, and the skin on the surface of his body was covered with diamond-shaped cuticles, which looked like the leather of some kind of monster.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The roar of tens of thousands of people suddenly erupted from the military formation of the two allied forces, and the qi and blood condensed by tens of thousands of people were like violent monsters, oppressing Kratos's qi and blood disorders, and he was almost about to explode and die on the spot.
"A hundred-man enemy can confront a hundred-man army formation, and a thousand-man enemy can destroy a thousand-man army formation, but the legion is even more terrifying, and the qi and blood condensed and erupted by tens of thousands of people can instantly shock a hundred-man enemy powerhouse with a strength of hundreds of horsepower to death. ”
Kratos knew that he would never be able to compete head-on with an army of tens of thousands of people, so he immediately smashed Xu Rose's head and stripped him of his incredibly large amount of qi and blood, which made the tattoos on Kratos' face look extremely bright red.
"Despicable Spartan, I am Xu Ross, the proud son of heaven who comprehends supernatural powers, the patron of the gods, you dare to kill me, I will curse you, curse your blood relatives, eternal life and eternal peace!"
Along with the qi and blood that rose to the sky, Xu Luo's hideous face also appeared from it, constantly issuing vicious curses, trying to take revenge on the murderer who killed him.
Kratos's face remained unchanged, and he said in a cold tone: "Hmph, Xu Ross, I am not afraid even when you are alive, not to mention that now there is only one unjust soul left, and you will be devoured by me together with your qi and blood, and become a part of my power!"
Kratos took a big breath, and the swirling air immediately shattered Xu Ross's unjust soul, and sucked it into his abdomen along with the qi and blood stripped from his skull.
After devouring so much qi and blood, Kratos's body immediately underwent a huge change, and the stratum corneum that emerged on the surface of the skin immediately stood out, and finally formed scales like steel.
The palm of his hand was clenched into a fist, and the tense force of his muscles shattered the air around him, as if this punch could burst a mountain in an instant.
"The strength of the blood bear, the defense of the war pig, the agility of the griffin, the power of the golden lion...... This is the power of the beast soul, which can not only condense the entity, but also change the structure of the body, and finally make the body have the powerful power of the monster!"
Kratos' body has deviated from the category of human beings, and all the cells in his body are constantly crushing and reorganizing as if they have life, except for normal flesh and blood, even if they swallow rocks, trees and other substances into their stomachs, they can deprive them of nutrients suitable for his body's needs.
Not only has the structure of the body changed, but the pure qi and blood power has also been greatly improved. At this time, Kratos's strength has increased from the original 500 horsepower to 800 horsepower in one breath, using the power of muscle explosions and Nemea gloves, even if Xu Ross stood in front of him in his heyday, he had the power to fight.
"Break the mountain fist, smash!"
Kratos' heart moved, controlling the qi and blood in his body in an attempt to imitate the skills that Xu Rose had used. He poured all the qi and blood from all over his body into his right fist, and continued to compress and condense it.
The power of such a punch was really huge, and thousands of arrows shot from the ground were shocked and displaced by the power of the fist wind, and in the end, only a few dozen fell on Kratos's body, but they could only leave mottled white marks on the scales on his body.
Squeak!
A tense string suddenly sounded, the sound of a giant crossbow used to kill a giant monster or attack a city.
"Hmph, Breaking Mountain Fist!"
Kratos's body shook, and the direction of his fall immediately changed, and the whole person rolled in the air and flew upside down as if he had been hit by a battering ram, and even the arrows shot from the sky were difficult to resist for a while.
Kratos felt like a lonely boat crumbling in a storm, and he tried his best to protect his body, forcing his way through the lines of the two coalition forces, and the scene of the streets of the royal city of Thebes was already clearly in front of his eyes.
After entering the low altitude of the royal city, the two coalition forces could no longer continue to attack, but Kratos could not stop the trend of falling, so he could only stretch his body as much as possible, forming a large zigzag to increase the resistance to the air.
In the moment before he was about to land, Kratos's pupils contracted violently, and the remaining qi and blood in his body instantly rushed out, and he slammed his fist into a nearby house that passed by.
The 800-horsepower fist immediately blasted the civilian house made of loess, and in the midst of the sharp screams, a large area of dazzling bright red flesh exploded along with the cracked fragments of the house.
With the backlash of the explosion, Kratos slowed down his downward trend slightly, and the whole person slammed diagonally into the streets of the city of Thebais, shattering large swaths of the ground before bouncing again, and finally stopping after collapsing a nearby house.
