"Alright, that's all for gossip. It's time for the battle between us to begin. You and the concubine, which side is stronger, whether you become my god, or I lose to a condition, let's find out here. β
Black energy converged in her hand to form a black scythe, Athena gracefully declared.
"Okay! Fight it out here, Athena! Zero Guan smiled, his eyes wandering on Athena with bad intentions, "I've already figured out what I should let you do after defeating you." β
"Huh!?"
Athena frowned in displeasure, her face was faintly angry, and she raised her scythe and shouted loudly.
"- Come out, concubine servant!!"
Bang la la la-la-!!
It's the sound of a feather's wings flapping the air.
Rustle rustle-!!
It was the sound of wet bodies rubbing against each other.
In the midst of such chaotic sounds, countless owls flew from the depths of the darkness, shooting towards Zero Guan like a dense rain of arrows. At the same time, the same number of snakes rushed out of the seawater and struck from below.
These owls have sharp claws and beaks that are no match for even the world's most ferocious birds of prey, and the snakes below are large snakes that are more than five or six meters long and have colorful scales. And these snakes are all poisonous snakes, no matter how highly toxic the creatures are, once they are bitten, they will have to be corpses soon!
"Wow! If you use this method at the beginning, you are too ruthless! β
Boom!!
The divine breath was released, the water technique was activated, and the sea behind him suddenly rioted, and thick water columns rose into the sky, converging into a complex and mysterious magic array in the air above him.
Woooo
The magic array flashed brightly. In an instant, water arrows shot out of the air.
The "Water Technique" is an angelic spell used by the angels of the Forbidden World, and although it lacks some important bonus in this world, its power is still enough to match the power of the gods with the blessing of Zero Perception Divinity.
Water arrows, which were no less powerful than divine weapons, struck out overwhelmingly, and rushed into the flock of owls and snakes. Suddenly, the screams of water arrows hitting targets and targets rang out.
By the time a round of water arrows had passed, the servants summoned by Athena had been pierced by the water arrows and died. However, these owls and snakes are the product of the use of power, and their dead bodies quickly disappear.
"......"
Athena was very unladylike, "The ability to manipulate water is not the power of the gods...... I see, is this your combination of divinity and magic? β
"That's right." Zero Guan nodded calmly.
Athena said, "If you think that combining divinity and magic can overcome the concubine, you are naΓ―ve! Without a manipulative and compatible godhead, your power will be wasted. β
"Then you won't bother!"
"So. The concubine is not welcome. β
Athena looked at Zero Guan who was shrouded by the water magic array, and slashed sharply with the scythe in her hand, and the dark power as black as ink was like a thin line of sword marks, and with a "snap", she cut the magic array in half.
Then, Athena held the scythe and aimed it at Zero from top to bottom.
Buzz - !!
The "Gold of Vientiane" was scattered and reorganized, and the sword artifact that defeated Salvatore's "Torn Silver Hand" power with a single sword reappeared, and gently fell into Zero's outstretched hand.
The moment when the palm of the hand grasps the hilt of the sword. Zero looks like an easy swing of the sword.
Boom!!
The sword qi that slashed everything collided head-on with the black power, and the moment they touched each other. The sword qi directly broke through the dark power and shot in both directions. Then the sword qi continued to move forward.
Seeing this, Athena swung her scythe again, in a row and twice, which crushed the power of the sword.
ββ¦β¦ Sure enough, there are wonderful weapons and props! Athena withdrew her scythe, "capable of slashing and cutting off my power." The "sword" in your hand should be a genuine artifact, right? β
"That's right." Zero Guan nodded easily, "This sword is a real artifact, with a name like 'Tilfeng'!" β
"Tyrfon? It turned out to be the sword! β
Athena was slightly surprised, then nodded abruptly.
Tyrfin is a magic sword in Norse mythology, also known as the "Splitting Sword". The power it represents is to slash and tear, and it is a sword that sucks blood when it is unsheathed, and although it will bring a lot of glory to the wielder, it will also plunge the wielder into the destruction of the "nuisance master" sword.
Legend has it that King Swafurrame, a descendant of the main god Odin, captured the black gnomes Duvarin and Durin, and threatened them with their lives to create a "sword with a hilt and belt forged in gold, indestructible, and a sword that hits every shot". Although the two black gnomes who were threatened were unwilling to complete the sword, they also retaliated by placing curses on the sword such as "extinction, decay, infighting" and "as long as it is unsheathed, it will take away life, and sooner or later the wielder will be destroyed".
The Tilfest is a two-handed sword with a double-sided blade, the blade is cast in iron, but it never corrodes. The hilt of the sword was cast in gold, set with precious stones, and engraved with the script Lu, perhaps a cursed incantation. It is said that as long as there is no blood to feed, Tirfeng will injure his master, causing his master to "lose his heirs, decay, and infighting".
Later, King Swavrame fought to the death against the attacking berserkers, only to die by the sword himself. The curse of the Black Gnome was fulfilled, and Tyrfung became the sword that everyone feared.
Among the "Black Gnome Techniques" obtained by ZeroView, there is a part of the chapter dedicated to the casting technique of Tilfeng, and based on this knowledge, ZeroView recreated this magic sword.
Of course, he wouldn't have to put any "curse" on himself when he was full. Besides, that thing was originally an effect added by the two black gnomes, Duvarin and Durin, in order to take revenge on King Swafurrame, and it actually didn't have any benefit to Tyrf's own performance, even if it was canceled, it wouldn't affect its "Splitting" and "Tearing" effects.
Athena knew the sword's name, so she began to think it was a nuisance.
Most of the gods in Norse mythology show their power through weapons, although the most important things are still "godhead" and "divinity", but their weapons are more lethal than other gods.
"If you are accidentally beheaded, maybe the concubine may die here!"
Athena, whose silver hair was flying in the wind, was still standing calmly and elegantly, looking at Zero. "You shouldn't have revealed the sword's true name so early, now you don't have the opportunity to take it by surprise."
Lingguan smiled faintly: "I didn't have this kind of luxury from the beginning. β
"Be careful!"
Athena snorted, the scythe in her hand suddenly turned into a longbow and arrow, held it in her hand, pulled the bowstring, and an arrow composed of terrifying energy appeared on the bowstring.
Whew-!!
Fingers loosened. Arrows burst out.
The speed beyond the speed of sound was undoubtedly displayed on the arrow, and in an instant it had reached the front of Zero, and the target was the heart and mouth.
"Worthy of a god with the nickname "God of War", can he even bow and arrow?!" As he spoke, Zero Guan raised his sword and slashed, and with a "snap", the arrow was deflected from the trajectory.
The arrow fell into the sea like a meteor, rushing down hundreds of meters deep, and then "boom". The sea shook, and countless splashes flew towards the sky.
Bang la la-la-la-
The sea rained down on the sea.
In the midst of this raindrop, Zero's figure ran on the sea like lightning, and the waves rushed behind him. Coming to Athena, Tyr swung his sword and slashed his sword straight at the other's head.
Seeing this, the bow and arrows in Athena's hand turned into scythes again, and headed towards the edge of the magic sword.
Qiang-!!
The two weapons intersect face to face. In the midst of the splashing of sparks, the sea water was pushed far away by the force. A figure retreated faster than the sea, and it was not until it retreated a few hundred meters that it could stop castration.
The one who stepped back was of course Athena.
Although she still has the priesthood of "war" after retrieving her ancient body, she is actually not a warrior-type god who is proficient in frontal combat, but a strategist-type character who prefers wisdom.
"It's worthy of the magic sword Tillfeng. Even the scythe of the concubine's body was torn. Athena looked down at the scythe, the handle of which had been severed, and the incision was as smooth as a mirror, showing how sharp it was.
The weapon in his hand is not the opponent of the magic sword at all, if it is a god body that is slashed......
You must not be hacked!
Moment. The thought came to Athena's mind.
Boom!!
Just as Athena was thinking this, the Zero View over there had already led the detonation and the waste like a dragon to rush in, and the magic sword flashed with a cold and merciless cold light, which made Athena a little jealous.
"Can't let him get close!"
Athena muttered in her heart, and the broken scythe quickly turned into a bow and arrow, and then her body rose to the sky, drawing her bow and shooting arrows, one after another of the bows and arrows were fired like missiles.
Boom Boom Boom Boom!!
Zero's figure narrowed the distance between him and Athena while dodging, and the arrows containing terrifying power kept falling on the sea, exploding huge waves one after another.
Athena deliberately avoided melee combat with Zero Look, and only attacked with a bow and arrow, while Zero View tried to close the distance with speed and defeat Athena with the sharpness of Tilf. The two advanced and retreated, and it was a stalemate.
"It's not good for me to fight for a long time, so let's fight quickly." Thinking like this, Zero Guan really urged the space transfer magic, and the figure instantly came to Athena's body, and he slashed with his sword.
"What-!?"
Athena was shocked, but it was too late to dodge, so she had to raise her hands and use her bow to turn into Medusa's shield to block the blade of the magic sword. However, the sharpness of Tyr's edge was enough to crush the power of the "God King" level, and how could Medusa's shield block the sharpness of the magic sword, and it was immediately cut in half with a clean "snort".
At the moment when the shield was cut, Athena reacted extremely quickly and used the shield in her hand to smash the blade.
This reaction was nothing and had a significant effect on easing the situation, but the sword that Zero Guan stabbed out was too fast, and when the shield hit the blade, the tip of the sword at the front had already touched the white robe on Athena's body.
was smashed by the shield like this, and the direction in which the sword body was advancing suddenly tilted outward-
Cough!
Losing again, Tyr Feng is so sharp that even ordinary artifacts can cut through it, let alone a mere white robe.
So, a happy scene appeared. (To be continued......)
