Chapter 698: Light is better than extreme obsession
The Saint Seiya couldn't believe that the object that their group was looking for had been standing in front of them all the time, and it was still in a hostile state. However, after taking a closer look at the female knight, I found that some of the other party's appearance characteristics were indeed very consistent.
"Have you also been confused by demons?" Elcid asked, grim.
Judging from Athena's expression, it is obvious that when she learned that her group was entrusted by Princess Haidai to rescue her, Athena still did not show too much excitement, on the contrary, she had a strange indifference, it seemed that compared to Elcid and his party, she trusted Kulaus on the side more.
"I'm not deluded or bound, and I can get out of here whenever I want. β
"Then you don't want to go back to Princess Haidai, who needs your help now. β
Athena shook her head wordlessly: "I'm not going anywhere, everything that happened in the Zegus Kingdom has nothing to do with me." β
"Including cultists and demons killing Princess Haidai and subverting the entire country, don't you have relatives and friends to cherish?" Elcid asked sharply.
"I have already said that everything that happens in the kingdom of Zegus has nothing to do with me, even Her Royal Highness the Princess, and what she desires is not the justice I desire. β
Athena's appearance at the moment is very similar to that of Kuraus, as if she has abandoned all ideas and feelings and fallen into the fantasy of unknown so-called 'justice', which is a deformed and distorted psychological state, which makes people feel an unspeakable sense of discomfort, but the eyes of Athena and Kulaus reveal incredible fanaticism and determination, like martyrs who can sacrifice their lives at any time.
Elcid couldn't help but recall Perenlius's description of the Lord of Chaos, the mad and disorderly demon master, and some of his followers were wicked villains. But some are people who have taken justice as their duty, but in the end, these people will go to extremes emotionally and ideologically under the manipulation of the Lord of Chaos, and finally make irreparable mistakes.
What now?
Looking at Athena with a look of death in front of her, it was almost impossible to take her away peacefully, but it was absolutely impossible for her to continue to stay and be brainwashed by demons and cultists.
Elcid squeezed his fist and then took a fighting stance: "So offended, we can't let you stay among these cultists." β
As soon as the words fell, the golden sword qi swept out. The fierce and domineering momentum made Kulaus dare not face this sword qi directly, and he could only temporarily avoid the edge with Athena, just as the two jumped away from the left and right, Caludia had already acted, and the three scarlet poison needles did not hesitate to hit to block Kulaus's retreat, one of the scarlet poison needles was bounced away by Kulaus with a sword, and the other two hit Kulaus's right abdomen and left leg, even if Kulaus desperately endured, but the intense pain caused by the golden scorpion's poison also made his face distorted and hideous for a whileγ
Caludia sneered, "What's the matter? Now your messy head is a little more sober." β
"HmmmmββYouββYou go to die!"
Provoked, Kuraus gritted his teeth and swung the long sword in his hand despite the severe pain that spread throughout his body, the blade of the sword that glowed with cyan shimmer was like an invisible sword that could be expanded and retracted freely. Even if the blade has not yet touched the object, the sword qi condensed on it has already begun to destroy everything in advance, and in the face of the power of this invisible sword, even Caludia was temporarily forced to retreat step by step.
"It's quite energetic~ In that case, I'll add a few more treatments to you!" Caludia slowly became angry, and the two scarlet poison needles hit again, making Kuraus in danger for a while.
Seeing that the two were separated, Elcid left to confront Athena, who was unable to support Kulaus, as Princess Haidai's most trusted female knight leader, Athena was very strong and very skilled in swordsmanship. Moreover, female swordsmen are not only good at using a normal size long sword, but also at using a two-handed heavy sword. Just after Athena unloaded the two-handed heavy sword on her back, this double sword, which looked big and small, and knew that it was not an ordinary product, was actually fighting to the same extent as Elcid for a while.
Athena looked solemn, holding her two-handed heavy sword, slashing violently, causing the entire three-story corridor to tremble slightly, and under this blow, the entire corridor aisle was pierced by the heavy sword, and then the female knight lifted the sword vigorously and brought out countless flying stones to hit Elcid.
The tiny flying stones, as fast as arrows, were shot down by Elcid's sword, and the golden sword qi swept away again, enveloping Athena like layers of razor arrays.
Under the offensive of Elcid, Athena began to slowly fall into a disadvantage, and in swordsmanship, Athena did not lose to Kuraeus or even Elcid. But after all, Elcid has replaced the sword in his hand as flexible as an arm and finger, and in this regard, no matter how superb Athena's swordsmanship is, it cannot be compared, not to mention that the two of them are also Golden Saint Seiyas in terms of physical strength.
It's unbelievable that there are really people in this world who have flesh and blood to compete with steel!
What frightened Athena the most was Elcid's blade-like hands, which were not only able to withstand the attacks of her heavy sword. Even this weapon, which had reached the quasi-superior level, had been slashed by the golden sword qi until cracks began to appear.
"Sober up Athena, can't you see that something is wrong with this prison?" shouted Elcid.
Although Athena has been forced into a disadvantage, Elcid did not show all his strength, after all, the female knight in front of him is the most trusted person of Haidai, and it is also an important factor in the implementation of the plan of Perenlius, no matter what, Athena must be allowed to return to Princess Haidai with his party alive.
Athena retorted without appreciation: "I'm sober! I also said that I stayed on my own volition, and that I would like to assist Kuraus in managing this place, and I would also like to assist him in achieving his justice." β
Dodging Athena's blow, Elcid kicked Athena in the abdomen with a side kick in the air, just as the female knight had just attacked Caludeia, but the blow caused Athena to fall to the ground with a muffled grunt, and even the heavy sword in her hand was gone.
Holding her hot and aching lower abdomen, Athena stood up again against the wall, and although she lost a sword, she still had one in her hand.
"If you think about Athena, you should know the situation in this prison, and look at the prisoners as if they were lost souls, and look at yourself as if you had forgotten everything, trapped in some kind of contradictory and twisted attachment. β
"No! Iββ" Athena shook her head and seemed a little confused, but soon a trace of murderous intent flashed in the female knight's eyes: "I'm normal, it's you who should get out of here!"
Not at all!
Elcid sighed secretly, it seemed that the knightess's mind had been completely distorted, and she had become exactly like the guy named Kuraus, a twisted obsession that dominated her soul. Since it is no longer possible to take Athena away by peaceful means, the only thing that can be done is ββ
One side dodged Athena's sword stab, Elcid twisted Athena's wrist with the help of force, and Athena, who had been strictly trained for a long time, suddenly noticed Elcid's purpose, and immediately twisted her body desperately to try to fight back, but the armor she was wearing at this moment made Athena unable to move, and Elcid's speed was faster and stronger, and she quickly stopped Athena.
"Offended!"
Before Athena could struggle, Elcid slashed her knife into Athena's neck and knocked her unconscious.
After knocking Athena unconscious, there was a clanging sound from Elcid's back, and when he turned his head, Elcid found that it was Calude's helmet that had been knocked to the ground, and to Elcid's slight surprise, there was a small blood mark on Calude's cheek, which was obviously painted just now.
The warden named Kuraeus still looked like he had two hits.
Elcid couldn't help but set his eyes on Kulaus, the other party had been hit by twelve scarlet poison needles at this moment, and the blood that flowed from the small wound almost stained Kulaus's clothes all over his body red, but that's it, in the case of twelve stitches in his body, Kulaus could still stand in front of Calludia, although his face was twisted because of pain, but the hands holding the long sword did not shake even a little.
Caludia wiped the blood from her face and said with rare praise: "Even though you have been hit by twelve scarlet poison needles, you still have to praise you! β
At this moment, the three Silver Saint Seiyas also surrounded them, and it was obvious that those guards had been defeated by all, but seeing Kuraus covered in blood, the Silver Saint Seiyas were also very surprised by the strength of the other party's perseverance.
"Although it's a guy with a twisted personality, he really has a backbone. β
"Surrender to Kulaus, your men have all been defeated, and now you are the only one left here. β
For a person like Curaeus, even if he is in the hostile camp, it is worthy of admiration, and Kuraeus may just be bewitched by cultists and demons, in fact, his nature is vaguely not so bad, but it has become very extreme, just like Purenlius said, the Lord of Chaos has made him go to the extreme, and for such people, the Saint Seiya does not want to kill directly.
"No! I didn't lose ββ"
Suddenly, Kulaus, who was covered in blood and a little weak, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and stabbed his hand into his chest in front of everyone: "My justice will never be defeatedββ"
Blood splattered, and a bloody heart was pulled out of his chest by Kuraus!(To be continued.) )
