552 Old Friends? Bad luck?

(Thank you very much for the 1888 tip from 'House of the East'!) As well as the rewards of 'Wind Feather Falling Flowers' and 'Thunder'! )

"Have a close relationship with the goddess of the earth?" Noah narrowed his eyes and met Perseus's gaze as he spoke.

"Are you talking about Athena?"

"Athena?" Perseus's eyes lit up, and he laughed happily.

"I see, I see, do you still have an extraordinary relationship with that goddess?"

In Greek mythology, Perseus cut off the head of Medusa, the banshee of the serpent, and dedicated it to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, which is a very famous story.

However, Athena and Medusa are actually the co-existence of the Trinity.

That is, Athena is Medusa, and Medusa is Athena.

As the hero of "Steel" who achieved great deeds by slaughtering the dragon and snake, there is no doubt that Athena, who is the goddess of "snake", is a mortal enemy.

No matter which godhead or which origin, the Perseus in front of him is inseparable from Athena.

In other words, the so-called somewhat annoying aura that Perseus felt on Noah's body is probably Athena's breath.

Thinking of this, Noah took out a badge made of obsidian.

The moment he saw this badge, Perseus's eyes narrowed, and he became a little smiling.

"Boy, you seem to hold something interesting."

And unlike Perseus.

Behind Noah, the dragon lying on the ground seemed to react completely differently to the badge in Noah's hand, and let out a low sound of slightly gratification.

"Hum!"

Then. The 'Stone of Gorgon' in Noah's hand trembled, emitting a faint light.

"Roar!"

The dying dragon immediately perked up. There was a dragon groan as loud as the return of light, and then a faint light emanated from the whole body. It turned directly into a blue glow, and along with the light of the "Stone of Gorgon", it poured into the "Stone of Gorgon" like flowing water.

After a while, the entire earth of Naples, which had turned into a dragon, was fused into the Stone of Gorgon.

In this moment, Noah felt that the power hidden in the "Stone of Gorgon" seemed to become stronger.

Now, if Athena recovers the "Stone of Gorgon" and regains the status of the queen of the Trinity, her power should also be relatively enhanced, right?

No matter what. Now that the spirit of this land has been turned into pure power by the Stone of Gorgon, the spirit of the land in Naples should be restored soon.

After all, both Athena and Hera are goddesses of the earth, and the symbol of the goddess of the earth is the "snake".

Absorbed by Athena's "snake", it is equivalent to the land falling into Athena's control, and Athena, as the goddess of the earth, will also give corresponding blessings, so that the essence of this land will be fed back to the earth itself, and there will be no more sequelae.

Noah breathed a sigh of relief and put the Stone of Gorgon back in his pocket. Raising his eyes, he looked at Perseus, who watched this scene happen, but did not stop it, but just smiled and watched. Speak.

"You appeared on earth because of the appearance of the dragon as an enemy, and now, the enemy is gone. You should go back to the myth -- that doesn't seem to happen. ”

"I am a hero, and the people will expect the hero's activity. Like the deeds of heroes fighting, heroes will also fight for the sake of worshipping their own people. How can you show them your martial prowess before you can quit before you are fully active? Perseus smiled.

"O warrior of the gods, you have taken away my active stage, and you are the messenger of Athena, so it is up to you to give me a battle that can show my strength!"

"I'm not Athena's messenger, I'm just a bad relationship with her." Noah sighed.

"In that case, can you give up the fight and go straight back to the myth?"

"There is only one way to return us to the myth, and that is to erase our bodies that appear on earth, unless you defeat me, or even if I want to return, I can't do that." Perseus raised the knife in his hand, as if he was acting in a stage play, and deliberately uttered flowery words.

"Throughout the ages, human beings have had the habit of praying to the gods for protection, but only a very small number of lucky people can get the favor of the gods, and you god-killers are forcibly taking the power of the gods who can give human protection, this is a great disrespect, I will definitely cut you under the sword, this is my duty as a hero!"

Without giving Noah a chance to reply, Perseus's body suddenly turned into a light and shadow, like a streamer, and suddenly rushed towards Noah's direction.

However, when Perseus rushed in front of Noah, Noah disappeared in place like a mirage very abruptly, leaving only an afterimage.

"Whew!"

Perseus's sword slashed down directly, slashing and dispersing the afterimage of Noah's legacy like a mist.

Suddenly, Perseus let out an exclamation, took a sharp knife in his hand, jumped away, and left the place.

"Whew!"

At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared, and a punch swung at the position where Perseus was standing, because Perseus's backward jump missed and then disappeared.

"God-killer! You're so fast! And this power is really familiar! ”

Perseus let out a cry, shouting and jumping continuously, as if he was dodging something, dodging left and right, never lingering too long.

And every time Perseus jumped away, an illusory figure would appear near the place where he was standing, swinging his fist at Perseus, and then disappearing after landing in the air.

Obviously, Noah is using the incarnation of the "Phoenix" to enter the world of Godspeed, launching a fierce attack on Perseus at a speed that even the gods cannot keep up.

However, Perseus, as the hero of "Steel", is not a vegetarian, even if his naked eyes and body can't keep up with Noah's speed, he still senses Noah's attack and dodges in a small area.

At the moment of the attack, Noah still had to disarm the incarnation of the "Phoenix" and retreat from the state of speed.

It was at this moment that Perseus was able to reluctantly dodge, but after all, he still looked like a wolf.

It's just that as his body became more and more wolf-like, Perseus's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he even laughed out loud at the end.

"This power, I finally recognized, it is the power of my old friend, the god of victory named Veleslana, no wonder it is so familiar, God killer, your luck is very bad!"

With such a sentence, a wheel of light like the dawn appeared behind Perseus, blooming with a dazzling brilliance.

"Hum!"

Under the illumination of that dazzling light, Noah, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared from a corner very abruptly, with a shocked expression on his face.

At this moment, Perseus, who was holding a sword, appeared in front of Noah with a look of victory.

"I see you! Godkiller! ”

As soon as the voice sounded, the sword in Perseus's hand turned into a flash of light and slashed through Noah's chest.

"Poof!"

In the sound of tearing, Noah, who didn't know when he was leaning towards the back, directly splashed a burst of red blood on his chest, and a huge wound appeared on his chest.

The pain hit Noah's mind.

“――――!” Feeling the sharp pain before coming to him, Noah clenched his teeth tightly, and followed the steps that had escaped the fatal wound at the last moment, and toe to the ground, pulling away from Perseus.

"Oh? Dodged? Perseus's voice sounded calmly.

"It's worthy of Renwu's old friend, the 'God of Victory' who has never tasted defeat and usurped the power of the God of Victory."

Looking at Perseus who was smiling calmly, Noah covered the wound on his chest, and while his palms were dyed red, his cold gaze fell on Perseus.

"What did you do to me?"

At the same time that the light wheel appeared behind Perseus, Noah, who entered the world of Godspeed, found that in his mind, the stone disk with the pattern of ten avatars connected to the outline had undergone some changes.

The pattern representing the incarnation of the "phoenix" actually dimmed at that time.

In other words, Perseus neutralized Noah's "Phoenix".

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that the 'power' of Perseus? (To be continued......)
