"It seems that it is based on an ancient image, or the appearance of Helimus of a human body." Looking at the old man in the summoning circle, Ito Nari guessed in his heart.
In ancient Greek mythology, Hermes was generally represented as a young man with a bronze hat with small wings on his head and winged flying boots on his feet, but there are also legends that he appeared as an old man with a face full of beards.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a treasure on the ground." At this time, Hermes, who had finally taken his eyes off the Stone of the Sages, sighed softly and looked up at Ito Nari outside the circle.
"Hermes?" Ito, who wasn't sure if the other party was the god he wanted to summon, said with a slight frown.
"It's me." Hermes admitted with a kind smile.
In Greek legend, Hermes was also the first of the gods to show kindness to humans, and there is even a legend that he taught humans how to use fire, not Prometheus, so he was probably the most forgiving of all the disobedient gods in terms of his attitude towards humans. But now that he is a god of gluttony, it's hard to say how many good thoughts in this area can be left.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're a modern-day godkiller." Hermes asked softly, retracting his expression.
"Not bad." Ito Nari nodded in acknowledgement. And began to stir up the magic power in his body, ready to start the battle.
"Are you going to sacrifice me as a sacrifice in exchange for a harvest from that woman?" Hermes put away the Sage Stone in his hand, and then took out a sword about forty centimeters long, which was about forty centimeters long, and was intertwined by two thin golden snakes, and finally said with two snakes facing each other at the top.
The moment he saw the appearance of the Twin Snake Battle, Ito Nari couldn't help but increase his mana to the maximum, in case he unknowingly caught Hermes's way. Because in Greek legend, Hermes used this power to hypnotize people and gods to hypnotize the hundred-eyed giant Argos, and used a knife to cut off the opponent's head to rescue the Nymph fairy Io, who was imprisoned by Hera.
(In Greek.) Nymph means bride. Describe a virtuous woman with a beautiful appearance. Another translation refers to a fairy or a fairy, like the Nymph of the Sea or the Nymph of Water...... Perhaps the most famous of these Nymphs is the Nymph of the Lake, who gave the Knight of the Lake and the Sword of King Arthur. )
"That's right, so put aside the nonsense that doesn't matter, and see the real chapter directly under your hands!" Ito said in a solemn voice. Then he couldn't help but chant aloud and sang the praises of power and spirit. And it's the most powerful move from the start.
"With my skill in words. Let the justice of the world be revealed! These mantras are powerful and eloquent. It is a sword of wisdom that beckons victory. ”
This is the spirit that summons the sword of words that slays the gods possessed by the warrior avatars of the ten incarnations of the usurpatory victory of Urus Ragnar.
"Hermes. You were an independent god! As these words fell, more than a dozen large tennis balls, emitting golden light, suddenly appeared around Ito's body. Shine brightly on him.
"It is a god of nature worshipped by the indigenous people of ancient Greece who lived in the Arcadian region, and its representative is the wind!" Dozens of golden-yellow balls of light appeared around Ito Nari at the moment when the words fell, expanding the golden-colored light field outward.
"Oh? Do you even know about something so far ago? Hermes said with a gloomy expression, and at the same time waved the power in his hand, and lightning immediately appeared from the clear sky and shot down towards Ito's body, but was immediately resisted by the barrier formed by the golden ball of light outside Ito's body.
"But with the influx of foreign peoples who speak Indo-European languages between the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC, the peoples who believe in you have been merged, and the legends about you have changed for the first time!" Ito-Nari, who was completely unmoved by the thunder and lightning, continued to chant the words of his heart.
"At this time, you have begun to transform from the originally powerful nature god to the god of the underworld, and you have been given the power to travel through the underworld! This can be seen from the fact that your early myths and legends have distinctly traits of the god of the underworld. ”
Hermes frowned when he saw that his attack had not worked, and a bright white flash began to appear in his hand, and then the twin snakes in his hand suddenly changed into a slender recorder with several small holes on the surface, which Hermes put in front of his mouth and played.
Instantly, a burst of melodious music that disturbed people's minds and seemed to calm people's minds and wanted to sleep echoed in the sky and reached the bottom of Ito's heart.
Ito-Nari, who felt his spirit in a trance for a moment, was stunned, and while maintaining the limit of his mana, he added the words in his mouth to read.
"It's just that with the passage of time, due to the relationship between war and national integration, your identity has changed again, and you have completely lost your identity as a god of nature, and then you have retained some of the functions of the god of the underworld and become the god of animal husbandry that was widely worshipped in the social environment dominated by animal husbandry at that time! Even so, you were still one of the main gods of the time! ”
At this time, the number of golden light balls around Ito Nari had exceeded one hundred, and it began to evolve to thousands. At the same time, Hermes was already there to stir up the divine power in his body, playing music that could dispel people's wills and make people sleep, and under the influence of this, Ito's spirit did begin to become in a trance. However, knowing in his heart that he couldn't relax, he still gritted his teeth and resisted the influence of hypnosis, trying to maintain the completion of the sword word spirit.
"Soon, however, your identity changed in a major national war, and you almost became a fringe god that no one believed in. But that changed in the 8th and 6th centuries BC during the Hellenistic Archaic period, when you were once again fused with foreign belief systems. He became the son of Zeus, the god of the greatest belief at that time, and Hermes, who is now widely known. As these words fell, the number of light balls around Ito's body instantly exceeded to a thousand, like a river of gold slowly coiling around his body.
"One of the most ironic things is that the myth of Zeus is clearly mixed with the characteristics of your original nature god period, the story of being born in a cave!"
"And as a Hermes period, you were left behind all kinds of myths and legends, so you were widely spread during this period, and you had the god of eloquence, the god of theft, and the god of deception!"
Then the Roman Empire rose. Greek culture was widely introduced into the Roman Empire, and the Roman Empire, which was extremely tolerant of foreign beliefs, was accepted and assimilated. In the process, you have a third name besides Coulene and Hermes - Mercury. At the same time, Zeus and Maia also married Mercury's parents, Jupiter, the god of the sky, and Rhea, the goddess of the moon, respectively, and became the main gods of the Roman faith! ”
"Because you were first introduced to Rome by the merchants of the Greek merchants, you were added to the power of the protector of travelers, and the power of the god of commerce acquired by mixing with Mercury." The sword light that had basically completed the second stage of polishing began to fly out from Ito's side, forming a sea of light sword and shooting towards Hermes, whose expression had changed.
That's when it happened. Hermes's entire body began to glow brightly. Then the young and handsome Hermes with a bronze hat with wings on his head and feathered boots on his feet flew out of the light in Greek mythology and legend. With the god shaking off the pursuit of the Sea of Light Sword, he spared Ito-naru's side and smashed Ito-nari with the double snake stick in his hand.
Ito's footsteps turned. Turning to face Hermes, he used the brilliant sword in his hand that appeared after the completion of a speech to meet the battle of the two snakes that Hermes had fought.
"Block!" The crisp sound of gold and iron rang out immediately.
"Then, you were spread to ancient Egypt by the Roman legions who went on an expedition to Egypt, and you were mixed with the Egyptian god of wisdom, Tot, and was regarded as the protector of magic, that is, the god that modern magicians believe!" Since Hermes is not using music to hypnotize himself, Ito Nari, who has been freed from mental pressure, reacts even more sensitively, summoning a sword ball of light to form a barrier to protect his body, while continuing to pursue Hermes with the extra sword ball.
As the messenger of the gods in myths and legends, Hermes can freely say that Hermes in the underworld, on earth, and in the heavenly realm moves fast, and is completely unaffected by the ball of light of the sword, and revolves around Ito Naritaka, looking for opportunities to attack.
Seeing this, Ito's brows couldn't help frowning slightly. If this situation continues, the sword he made will not be able to cut Hermes's body at all, and even if the words and spirits of the sword are compiled at that time, it will be in vain! With a single thought, he began to use the light ball of the Sword Word Spirit to arrange a three-dimensional phalanx.
"In the first century A.D., a Greek named Hermes appeared in Alexandria and vigorously preached the theosophy and alchemy he had founded, as well as the dualism at its core. Because the timing of his appearance coincided with the needs of history, his theosophy was widely accepted by the upper class of the people at that time, and became the most important knowledge in the society at that time and was widely disseminated and promoted! Ito Nari organized a phalanx of light to surround Hermes flying around, while continuing to build the final slashing spirit.
"But the lower class people who don't have much knowledge can't tell the difference between the scholar Hermes and the god Hermes, and gradually mix the two of them into one, so that in addition to the magic guardian, you have added the power of the god of alchemy, and become the originator of the alchemist widely believed by later generations of alchemists!" With the words of his decisive words, Ito finally finished polishing the sword he had used to slash the Hermes godhead.
"Hermes, with so many prominent statuses, do you know how to run around!" Ito Nari said with words to Hermes.
"I have seen through your weakness, this golden sword that brings me a dangerous aura has a fatal weakness, as long as it is not slashed by it, it is a useless scrap metal, a fierce beast that has lost its claws, and it poses no threat to me! Therefore I will not be stirred by your words. Hermes, who was flying high, sneered mockingly.
"Do you think I can't do anything about you?" Itonari said as he followed Hermes with his eyes. Then, after estimating Hermes's flight degree and flight pre-load in his mind, he suddenly disappeared from the spot with an instantaneous movement, and appeared in front of Hermes, who was completely defenseless, and slashed down with the golden sword in his hand.
In an instant, an extremely dazzling golden light lit up violently between the heavens and the earth, and it was not until about ten seconds later that it gradually disappeared, revealing the situation within the light again. I saw Hermes, who was originally flying high, falling to the ground with his clothes torn, a mouthful of dust, and staring at Ito Nari who had been standing opposite him for a long time.
"It seems that you have not only become younger in appearance, but also have a personality as detached, confident, and a touch of arrogance as the legend says, which is really unexpected." Ito Nari, who waved his hand and summoned the divine sword Heavenly Plex Cloud, walked slowly towards the power that had been slashed by the golden sword, and Hermes, who was like an ordinary person at this time, said.
"And seriously, Hermes, your strength is really weak!"
After speaking, without waiting for Hermes, whose face was angry, to speak, Ito-nari suddenly stepped in front of him, raised his knife and fell, and cut off Hermes's head with a knife.
"Poof!" With the sound of blood gushing, Hermes's head tumbled and flew two or three meters away before falling to the ground with a bone. At the same time, a familiar superposition of power emerged from Ito's back.
"I don't know what power I will gain this time......" Looking at the corpse of Hermes on the ground that was gradually appearing, Ito Nari couldn't help but secretly say in his heart.
Then Ito Nari looked around twice, and after making sure that there was really no problem, he slowly walked towards the second layer of defense where Maya and the others were, and converged with Maya, Yaya, Enyuan, Erica, Liliana, and Yuri Wanya who were guarding the surroundings, and set off to return to the city.
However, not long after Ito Nari and the others left, Athena, dressed in modern clothes, appeared on the battlefield of Hermes' death. After quietly annotating the direction of Ito's departure, her figure disappeared into the void abruptly, just as she had appeared.
Back in the city, Ito Nari and the others spent a few more days in Greece before returning to Japan on a plane and living their daily lives leisurely.
During this time, Ito finally vaguely understood the power he gained after killing Hermes. It is also unclear if it was because he used the Alchemy Stone, an alchemical treasure that should not have appeared on the ground, to summon Hermes, but the power he obtained from Hermes was not the most likely magical protector, but the power of the alchemy god, a kind of auxiliary power that gave Ito Nari the feeling that he could make and dismantle divine tools.
"Well, it's not bad." Ito-Nari, who vaguely understood the effect of power, sighed in a low voice. (To be continued!)
