Chapter 27: Battle, Battle

Zhou Xiaoning is also a temperamental person, seeing that Athena is still addicted, she simply doesn't explain, if you want to fight, then let's fight!

Zhou Xiaoning grabbed it with his backhand, pulled out the Tai'a Sword from the King's Treasure, and then attached the Sun True Fire to it, and a divine sword that could cut through the darkness was born.

There is a way to come and not be rude, Athena slashed him twice before, and now it's time to return her sword.

I saw Zhou Xiaoning swing his Tai'a sword violently, slashing out a huge flame sword qi, like the dawn before dawn, cutting through the darkness and blasting straight towards Athena.

"Hmph, what a nasty flame."

Athena frowned slightly, she has the priesthood of the goddess of darkness, which gives her the highest divinity and mana, but at the same time, she is also restrained by the power of attributes such as light and the sun, so she is mortal enemies with light and the sun. Zhou Xiaoning's use of the Sun True Fire can be said to have once again provoked Athena's nerves, making her already unhappy even more unhappy.

"Let me disappear in the endless darkness!"

With one of her right hands, Athena released a large amount of black mist, which was the manifestation of her dark power, with the power to devour all light, and the starless night that enveloped the whole of Japan was caused by this power.

Light can illuminate darkness, but darkness can also swallow light, and the two depend on each other to fight each other, and the victory or defeat depends on who can hold out to the end.

In this regard, Zhou Xiaoning suffered a loss, after the flame sword qi was cut out, it became a rootless duckweed, although the power was strong, but the follow-up was weak. On the other hand, with Athena continuing to output in the back, even if it is a little bit of consumption, it can exhaust the flame sword qi.

It's just that Athena put most of her energy into devouring the true fire of the sun, but she forgot that the flame sword qi is not only the true fire of the sun, but there is also the sword qi.

"What!"

The sharp sword qi broke through the black mist and came to Athena, catching her off guard. But Athena is Athena after all, and the priesthood of the goddess of war is not blown.

At the moment of crisis, although Athena was not panicked, she immediately blocked the sickle in front of her, made a block, and prepared to take this sword qi.

Zhou Xiaoning had long known that Athena could not be helpless with a single flame sword qi, so after one move, another move followed.

I saw Zhou Xiaoning appear behind Athena with a teleportation, the long sword slashed horizontally, and in the next second, blood was splashed.

"It worked!"

Erica couldn't help but be happy when she saw Zhou Xiaoning's successful blow, no matter how powerful Athena is, if she is so seriously injured, her strength will definitely be affected to a certain extent, and it will undoubtedly be much easier to deal with it when the time comes.

"It's not that simple."

Zhou Xiaoning teleported back to Erica again, and said with a solemn expression: "Athena is not a goddess who holds the blessings of the earth, she will not only bring a good harvest, but also a reduction in production and death. So she is also the goddess of life and death, and with these two powers, she will not fall so easily. ”

"You're right."

Athena walked slowly through the black mist, the wounds on her back had healed, and even the torn clothes had been repaired by her.

"My serpent is a symbol of immortality, and you can't defeat me."

Although she had suffered a secret loss from Zhou Xiaoning before, Athena still looked confident. She admitted that Zhou Xiaoning's strength did exceed her expectations, but this battle was unfair from the beginning, and she had the power to die, which was enough to make her invincible.

"Immortal, this is indeed a headache, but if you think that I can't do anything about you, then you are too naïve."

Zhou Xiaoning knew a lot about Athena, including the fact that she had immortal powers. So Zhou Xiaoning had already thought of a way to deal with it, otherwise how dare he play Athena so much before.

Athena's immortality is the effect of power, and since it is power, it will inevitably consume mana when activated, and the more powerful the power, the more mana will be consumed. An anti-heaven ability like immortal power, the mana required to launch it must be massive, even if Athena has enough mana, I'm afraid she won't be able to cast it a few times, as long as Zhou Xiaoning can keep killing and exhaust Athena's mana, her immortal god will naturally be broken.

But this is only the stupidest way, and unless Zhou Xiaoning traps Athena with the Heavenly Lock, he will not be able to kill her many times.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoning thought of a simpler and more effective method. I saw that he pulled out a yellow short spear from the king's treasure, which was the loot he got after killing Dilumudo in the first place.

The ability of [Mortal Yellow Rose] is to apply a curse that cannot recover damage to the injured target, and neither spells nor self-regeneration can eliminate the "wounded" state. There is no other way to break the curse, either by destroying the spear itself or by killing the user. It can be said that as long as it is used skillfully, the [Perishable Yellow Rose] even has the ability to kill gods.

Of course, that is to be the real [Immortal Yellow Rose], the Dilumuduo that Zhou Xiaoning killed is just a Heroic Spirit clone, although the treasure he carries has the same ability, but the power has decreased a lot. Therefore, it is almost impossible to defeat Athena with this [Immortal Yellow Rose], so Zhou Xiaoning must strengthen it again.

"Well, this breath is ......"

Athena quickly noticed the abnormality, and her eyes stared directly at the black, ominous energy in Zhou Xiaoning's hand, wasn't it the power of death?

"I didn't expect you to have this power in your hands, but if you want to use the power of death to deal with me, who has the priesthood of the goddess of the underworld, you can't help but think about it."

Athena smiled contemptuously, the power of death is indeed a very terrifying power, even most gods avoid it, but she is indeed an exception, among her many priesthoods, including the god of death in charge of the underworld, the scythe she uses is the aggregation and manifestation of the power of death, and her attack is the "death" itself, so Zhou Xiaoning's use of the power of death in front of her is tantamount to getting an axe in the banmen.

"Of course I know that the power of death doesn't work for you, but what if that's the case!"

Zhou Xiaoning violently pressed the death power in his hand on the [Immortal Yellow Rose], and at the same time activated the [Perfect Fusion].

I have to say that the power of fusion is a very magical power, even if it is two completely unrelated things, they can be perfectly fused together, so as to give birth to something completely new.

It was as if now, the yellow spear fused with the power of death was dyed with an ominous black like thick ink.

The original curse of the [Perishable Yellow Rose] has a very strong lethality, which is very similar to the power of death, so that under the effect of the power of death, the curse on the short gun has been sublimated, from the original "irreparable damage" into a real death curse, anyone who is hit by the short gun, the vitality will continue to be swallowed by the death curse, and finally die.

In this case, it is a bit inappropriate to call it the original name, and it is more appropriate to call this newborn short spear [Killer Black Rose].

Athena felt a hint of danger from the [Killing Black Rose], the death curse was no longer pure death power, even with Athena's ability, it would take a lot of effort to completely exorcise it. More importantly, will Zhou Xiaoning give her time to exorcise the curse?

"You must not be stabbed!"

Athena knew the power of the [Killer Black Rose], and immediately raised the spirit of twelve, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it will only exert its due power when it hits the enemy. So, all she needed to do was dodge or block the surprise attack of the short spear, and she didn't have to worry about the death curse.

Athena's idea was correct, but she ignored one thing, that is, Zhou Xiaoning had spatial ability, and at the moment when he projected the [Killing Black Rose], he activated the Spatial Dragon Pupil and moved the [Killing Black Rose] directly to a position that was only one centimeter away from Athena's heart.

Athena had also traveled countless battlefields, and she had long cultivated a keen fighting instinct, and she felt a dangerous aura coming from behind, and without thinking about it, she burst out and moved to the side as fast as she could.

Although Athena made the right choice, the [Killer Black Rose] was so close to her that even though Athena was at full speed, the short spear still slashed her left arm.

Athena's gown is typical of Greece, with no sleeves, so it can be clearly seen that her wound is not deep, it is only a scratch through the skin, but it is enough for the curse of death to invade Athena's body. The ominous black qi starts from the wound and quickly spreads around, the larger the spread area, the faster the speed of devouring the life force, and the more life force it devours, it can in turn fuel the power of the death curse, this is an endless cycle to break, it is not easy.

"Damn, I still got hit."

Athena glared at Zhou Xiaoning fiercely, she could clearly feel that her vitality was losing little by little, although the current loss was just a drop in the bucket for her, not worth mentioning, but as time went by, the rate of loss of vitality was getting faster and faster, if she left it alone, she might really be dragged to death.

"Zhou Xiaoning, I admit that I underestimated you. So then, I'm not going to give you any more chances! ”

Athena acted quite decisively, she knew that it was impossible for Zhou Xiaoning to give her time to exorcise the death curse, so she only used the power of death to temporarily block the spread of the death curse, although in this way, it would make her left arm have a slight tingling sensation, but as long as it would not affect the battle, she could hold on to it with a little discomfort.

The blow was successful, but Zhou Xiaoning didn't have any big mood swings, and was still careful to guard Athena, because he knew that the real battle had just begun.
