Chapter 13: Medusa and Perseus
Two hundred meters to the west from the park where the lords fought their battles, there is a 40-storey office building, which is home to several companies that are not of the best in scale, but are also well-known in the industry, and they are busy and prosperous every day.
However, people who have been working at their desks for hours will not know that just below their feet, in the parking lot on the basement level, a tall, plump figure is like a phantom, shuttling back and forth in the darkness, only pausing for a moment at a few special nodes, leaving behind a magical mark that seems to be in the shape of a snake.
Only the last few key magic nodes have not been built, and Medusa has once again left a magic mark in one node, as long as the treasure "Seal of the Other, Blood Temple" is activated, she can absorb abundant magic at the cost of the lives of all the living within the enchantment, and respond to the retreat of White Maple Valley.
As for the lives sacrificed by the "Seal of the Other: Blood Temple", whether in the eyes of White Maple Valley or Medusa, these passerby-like characters will not leave a trace in their hearts, even if these people are forced to "sacrifice" everything for them.
Indifferent, indifferent; cold, cold; Lonely and arrogant; For the existence that has not left any mark on his heart, Bai Fenggu is like a saint high above, and the heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs.
And for Harpy, Androni, and now Medusa, these companions who have already occupied a place in his heart, White Maple Valley shows extraordinary greed and possessive desire.
I want you to never leave me, never die or die, and always be by my side!
This is the true character of White Maple Valley. This is especially evident after he gradually absorbs the fragments of memories that fused with Nersarakul.
Stand in front of the last node. Despite the imminent activation of the Noble Phantasm "Seal of the Other: Blood Temple", Medusa is in a panicked mood.
Because. Perseus, who had killed her in the age of mythology, and now is a rival enemy of the same rank, the Red Rider Perseus, has followed from the park, like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, and at some point it will show its fangs and kill people.
If you were a normal enemy, you might not be able to let Medusa activate the Noble Phantasm "Seal of the Other: Blood Temple". Harvest lives, gain plenty of mana, and maybe even cause unpredictable changes in the next battle.
However, with the help of the Noble Phantasm Cloak and hidden behind the mythical and legendary Medusa the Medusa of the Gorgon, Perseus, the son of the god who resembles a poisonous snake, once beheaded Medusa, he knows a lot about the enemies in front of him, including a major loophole in the Noble Phantasm "Seal of the Other, Temple of Blood".
As an enchantment-type anti-military treasure, the "Seal of the Other: Blood Temple" is launched. The caster, Medusa, will be frozen for one second due to the connection between her magic and the enchantment.
Of course, in just one second, Medusa almost fused with the enchantment. Normal attacks can't break the barrier and hurt her.
However, the "Seal of the Other: Temple of Blood" is not a defensive treasure after all, and is more specialized in helping Medusa absorb an enchantment that restores her magic. Facing Perseus, who is holding the "Snake Hunting Scythe", which is known as "killing the undead", is as fragile as a blank piece of paper.
Especially. The prototype of the snake hunted by the "Snake Hunting Scythe" is none other than the Medusa the Gorgon. This weapon against her. There is a deterrence of cause and effect that will die.
Therefore, when Medusa activates the treasure "Seal of the Other, Blood Temple", it is the time for Perseus to really make a move, and it is also the time when Medusa is dead!
Medusa and Perseus knew this, but they couldn't resist it, as if fate had rehearsed it countless times, and it was bound to follow this trajectory.
If she can't activate the "Seal of the Other, Blood Temple", she will not be able to take over the White Maple Valley, which is under siege by Reiko Asakawa and Black Berserker, and betrays the oath of the Heroic Spirit.
Even, even if Medusa was so angry that she faced Perseus's murderous intentions and opened the "Seal of the Other, Blood Temple" at the cost of her life, how would she respond to the White Maple Valley without the "Seal of the Other, Blood Temple" presided over by her?
Suddenly, Medusa's cold face melted like an iceberg, revealing a charming smile like spring, and muttered: "The master said that he would protect me and return to the heroic battlefield with me, why did I hesitate?" ”
In the next moment, a delicate serpentine magic mark landed on the final node of the "Seal of the Other: Blood Temple", and Medusa's body trembled, and for a moment, her body merged with the enchantment, unable to move.
At the same time, as the invisibility cloak of the Noble Phantasm fell, the handsome face of the red rider Perseus, with a half-length broken cherry pink hair, quietly appeared behind Medusa, and in her hand was the treasure that had hunted the Gorgons in the mythological era - the "Snake Hunting Scythe"!
"Brush!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the moment Perseus appeared, a scythe slashed from the top right to the left, cold and cruelly slashing down.
Just as the snake-hunting scythe was about to cut the resistless Medusa in half, Perseus lowered his face, and an indiscernible gentle voice came out from the shadows hidden by the broken hair.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to kill you again. However, I promised the Master to put an end to this pointless Holy Grail War! ”
"Stop!"
Between the lightning and flint, a simple and mysterious magic mirror appeared out of thin air, and in the smooth mirror there was a beautiful figure in the hazy mist, and Erinis exhaled, in which the anxiety and worry were overflowing.
"Armor Talisman Protego! Petrification Spell PetrificusTotalus! Disarming Spell Expelliarmus! ”
A layer of transparent armor glowing white guarded Medusa's body, followed by a petrification charm that stiffened Perseus's movements, a disarming charm that made him lose his weapon.
However, this series of magic only had a small effect on Perseus, who was the son of a god and had super magical powers.
"Brush!"
The cold wind blew by, and the armor shattered.
The armor charm barely bought Medusa a tenth of the time to deal with it, so the first time she regained control of her body, the moment before the snake scythe touched the skin of her back, she relied on the strongest agility attribute of the Rider class to dodge to the side with all her might.
With the activation of the Noble Phantasm "Seal of the Other, Blood Temple", a layer of scarlet mist enveloped the entire forty-story office building, and after the wind calmed down, Medusa was half-kneeling on the ground, and a narrow wound on her back from her right shoulder to the left waist* was hideous and terrifying, almost cutting her in half.
