247. Before the storm
Artemis is known as the goddess of moonlight and the hunt in the Olympian gods, and what she handed Amun was the bow of the goddess of hunting, and Amun was also skilled in archery before becoming a god. If there is anyone on the continent who has the most masterful archery, it is Gilgamesh and the Assyrian empress Semir, Amun was not comparable to them back then, and his archery skills even imitated and borrowed from these two.
But now Amon is not only a god, but a series of thrilling encounters have made him much stronger than when he first became a god, and with the arrows shot by this divine bow, the wind god can choke and escape.
Amon's current strength may not even be able to be imagined by Adador, if Adador still thinks that he is the god who was chased and killed by Enril before his fall, and escaped with injuries, he will suffer a big loss. If Adador had really sent the Storm God as bait to lure Amon into pursuit, he would not have expected Amon to have Artemis by his side and the bow of the goddess of hunting.
Amon smiled and took the shawl and bracers and put them on his body. Although Artemis is slender and fit, his soft shoulders and slender wrists are certainly not as burly as Amon's, but this cloak and bracers are completely suitable for Amun, which shows that they are artifacts that can change with the body and mind, not only for self-defense, but also to assist in the use of divine archery.
Amon put away his silver bow and beckoned, "Moses, Yunmeng, George, and Leo, the four of you stay in the Garden of Eden to watch over your house, and at the same time take care of the movements in the city of Salem, and the others will come with me to meet the wind god for a while." Let's see if he escapes faster, or Artemis' magic arrow faster!"
Artemis reminded: "Amon, it's your divine arrow, I won't take the initiative to attack the oracle of the Anunnaqi gods." ”
Amon joked: "Wearing your shawl and bracers, the arrows shot with your divine bow, of course, with the power of your divine arrows, I am afraid that my archery skills are not perfect, and I am not worthy of such a good divine bow." ”
Medanzo held the key of fate and said, "Then hurry up, don't wait for us to arrive, that kid has escaped again!"
Amon shook his head and said, "Don't worry! If he is really a bait in a trap, he will not run away without seeing people chasing him." We flew unhurriedly from the sky, and if he had waited there after making trouble, and had fled when he found me coming, he would have been sure that there was an ambush. It doesn't matter what kind of ambush it is, let him come and go back!"
...... Pruully, the wind god, was tall, but from a distance he seemed to be short, for he was long, fat and bulging like a ball. When he rolled up the wind, his round belly was stirred up one after another, like a big toad flying in the sky panting, and he looked very funny. The first sight of him is often amused and even forgotten how dangerous the oracle is.
It was such a funny flying meat ball, the body was surrounded by transparent spiraling wings, it was a condensed wind, and only through the refraction of light and shadow could we see the condensed qi element energy in it. Judging from the ability to control a single divine art, this divine envoy can be called the world's most outstanding qi elemental master, and he can actually transform the qi elemental armor into a flowing shape, which can be used to attack and defend at any time.
His wings swept through and sliced the hardest rock in the world into pieces, and the swirling wings unfurled in a terrible storm. It is no wonder that his speed is so impressive, and it is easy to hide his tracks in the wind without being detected.
Now the fiercest storm over the mines at the foot of the Assyrian plateau had passed, and cries of terror and wails of pain could be heard everywhere, and the winds had not yet completely subsided, for Pruli had not gone or put away his attack. He was standing high in the air looking in the direction of Salem City, even if the gods flew from a distance, as soon as they entered the range of the storm he rolled up, he could immediately detect it through the faint fluctuations of the qi element.
It seemed to be enjoyable to look at him, and at this moment Pruli felt as if he was the master between heaven and earth, the people who wailed in the storm, life and death were in his hands. At this moment, the corner of Pruli's eyes suddenly jumped, and he turned to look southwest. Six people flew in the distance, none other than Amun, Artemis, and the four angels of the Garden of Eden, Medanzo, Gabriel, Link, and the Seagull.
The six of them did not hide their figures, and their speed was neither fast nor slow, and they flew straight towards the center of the storm. Prulli hesitated for a moment, he did not know whether he should flee at once, according to the original plan, if the god Amun pursued, he should immediately turn and flee, stir up the wind and stir up the sky to darken, and rely on his speed to cross the barrier-like mountains of the Assyrian plateau to the north, so as to successfully escape.
Amun, as a god, must have seen this, and if he wanted to catch Pruli, he had to rush at full speed when he spotted him, and take Pruli down before he could climb over the top of the mountain. Adador, the storm god, lay in ambush behind the ridge in the distance, riding his flying chariot capable of controlling the seven winds. That chariot was the most magical shuttle in the world, and it was also an artifact of the Anuna Enlightenment system, and it was extremely powerful. Once Amon chased Pruli across the mountains, Adador would be able to keep him coming and going.
But the current situation is a little wrong, among the six people from the sky, the one who flew in front was Amun, and Amon obviously also discovered Pruli, but he did not speed up, and still approached slowly from a distance unhurriedly.
This is not in line with common sense, does Amon want to catch up with Prully, does he still think that Prulli will wait in place to start a big battle? Flying at this speed, before he gets close, I am afraid that Prulli has already run away without a trace.
Pruli was going to escape, but he couldn't just run away, he had to wait until Amon reached a position where he could start pursuit, but this was not easy to grasp, because Amon was too slow to come!
Pruli turned his wings and prepared to go, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "Come closer, wait for him to get closer, and I'll run at once, so that he thinks he can catch up with me at the top of the mountain." ”
Being a bait is not a good errand, and it is also a great adventure in itself, Amon made a bait back then, luring Enriel into a trap and was eventually killed by Marduk. Priulli was now sent to be used as a decoy, for the simple reason that he was the fastest of Adador's oracles and had the best defense, which kept him safe when he escaped.
Seeing the god Amun approaching from a distance, the distance was almost the same, and Pulit's wind wings were ready to slip away. Standing still and letting a god approach so closely, the psychological pressure is too great, no matter how much, as long as Amon takes another step forward, he will run quickly.
At this moment, the god Amun suddenly stopped in the air, and as soon as he stopped, the five people who followed him also stood still. This distance is exactly the range of space where Pulit can unleash a storm attack, and the attack of both sides at such a distance will not be too powerful. While Pruli was wondering, the god Amun spoke—"You are the wind god Pruli, and it is a great fortune in the world to be able to be guided to join the god system and obtain the ninth-level achievement of the origin power, and it is a pity to fall like this." What's even more regrettable is that you don't know how to respect yourself, not only did you commit a crime today, but you also participated in the great flood on the Duk Plain back then, right?
You were the divine messenger of Enriel, who has fallen, and if you know that you may have a chance to repent, you have now joined Adador and continued to do evil. Adador was also Enriel's accomplice in that great flood back then, and no matter where you flee, I will not let it go!"
Amon suddenly mentions the great flood of the year, which was caused by Enriel's clouds and currents in the air, and Prulli, the god of the winds, of course, helped. There are two other gods in the Anunnakai system who have transcended immortality to assist Enriel, namely Adador, the god of storms, and Adad, the god of weather.
Proudly was stunned when he heard this, and then he sensed a powerful aura that seemed to travel through time and space to firmly lock him, and when Amon said the last sentence, he reached out and took out a silver battle axe out of thin air and swung it forward. Listening to Amon mention the great flood, Pruli already knew that Amon would not be able to let him go, and when he saw the breath brought by his axe, he realized that this god wanted to perform the spatial rift technique and flashed directly in front of him, and he screamed and agitated the wind wings to turn around and leave.
Pruli's speed is indeed amazing, the wind wings spread, and instantly rolled up countless transparent blades and swirled towards Amun in the distance, the air was messy with light and shadow, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and Pruli had turned into an afterimage and shot towards the Assyrian plateau in the north.
The transparent blade that filled the sky did not block Amun, and the silver axe swung out and disappeared into a strange arc of light, as if cutting a spatial rift channel. In the next moment, the blade of order appeared in place with a whirl, and was withdrawn from Gabriel's hand by Gabriel behind him, and Amun's figure stepped out, appearing where Prulli had just disappeared.
If Prulli had run any slower, he would have been hit directly by Amon. Amon appeared through the space, but he did not chase away, he stood high in the air and had already raised his arm, holding a half-moon-shaped silver bow, the green cloak on his left shoulder was fluttering, and the silver bracer on his right arm emitted a light like a little cold star, and the three artifacts were urged at the same time.
As soon as he stood still, he opened his bow and shot an arrow, there was no real arrow on the bowstring, this arrow was invisible, just an invisible energy condensation, through the storm that swept through the sky, like a lightning bolt chasing away.
Prulli felt a chill in his heart as he fled, he never expected that the power of the god Amun would be so powerful, the bow in his hand was incredibly magical, even Adador couldn't shoot such an arrow! This was an invisible arrow that ignored the barrier of the storm, and it contained such a powerful energy to catch up with his body at such a distance.
Pruli had two choices, one was to turn around and resist the arrow head-on, and it was not impossible to follow, but that would mean stopping the escape, and once he lost his speed, he could easily be blocked by the god Amun at the foot of the plateau. At this moment, he could only fight, made the second choice, relied on his strong protective ability to block this arrow, and flew to the top of the plateau at the same speed.
When the arrow hit the wind wing, the storm in the sky stopped instantly, and the wind wings around Pruli were shattered, and then there was a loud bang and an echo, and the cliff wall near the top of the mountain collapsed in a large area, and countless boulders were discharged.
Pruulli was not pierced by an arrow, which shattered the protection of the wind wings, and the strong tremor aftermath formed a huge impact, as if a giant hammer had hit the cliff. This not only has the subtlety of the flowing qi element to transmit and transfer the impact of energy, but also contains the clever space transfer magic technique, and Pulit's protective ability is indeed strong.
But the wind god only saved himself from being shot through the spot, he let out a long hiss and spewed out a cloud of blood mist, and his flying form rushed over the top of the mountain with his habitual surname, and then fell from the sky with his teeth and claws. Pruli was so badly wounded that if no one caught him on the other side of the mountain, the Tempest God would have to fall to his death on the spot, let alone continue to flee.
Amon took Pruli by surprise with an arrow, and if he caught up with another arrow, Pruli would surely die, and the messenger had no power to protect himself for the time being. This arrow was indeed shot beautifully, and the disciples behind him cheered in unison, but Amon didn't even look at it, put away the silver bow and turned around: "Let's go, let's go back to Salem City!"
The six people who flew in the air said they would go, not dragging their feet at all, and they didn't ask if Prulli was alive or dead when he fell on the other side of the mountain. If there was no one on the other side of the mountain, Pruli would have fallen to his death, and there was no need to look at it, and if someone on the other side of the mountain rescued Pruli and it was clearly an ambush trap, Amon would not bother to chase after him, and he would not even be curious.
...... Of course, there was an ambush on the other side of the mountain, and there was more than one person, there were two gods and six ninth-level oracles, Kibir the god of fire and Nugus the god of ashes were also among them, and in the middle were two gods, none other than Adaddo, the god of storms and war, and Adad, the god of weather and doom.
The names of these two gods are very similar, in fact, they were both given by Enriel, and they both became gods under Enriel's guidance. They also heard what Amon had said to Prulli before he shot his arrows.
Adador drove his chariot to Adad and said, "Do you hear that? Amon still remembers the great flood of that year, and when Enriel launched the great flood, we were all involved. Now that he has become a god, colluding with Malduk to behead Enriel, it is impossible to let us both go. ”
Adad nodded with a calm face and said: "I heard, today is the right time, let Amon fall here, never suffer in the future! It's a pity that Nergale refuses to come to help, what is he waiting for?"
Adador snorted coldly, "That guy told me that he would only attack Amon when he attacked Hades. But I don't want to think about it, if we don't concentrate our forces and let Amon break them one by one, who else will be able to help him protect the underworld at that time? It doesn't matter if he doesn't come, with our current strength, even if there is no trap, it will be enough to kill Amun!"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a long hiss of pain, and the seriously wounded Prulliza flew over the top of the mountain and fell, as if he had been beaten and thrown over. With Pruli's speed and strong defensive ability, he almost died without flying past the top of the mountain, which surprised everyone who was ambushed here.
A gust of wind swept Pruli's figure, sending the unconscious messenger to lie down in the dense forest on the mountainside, and everyone was nervously waiting for the god Amun to rush across the mountain to pursue him, but there was no movement on the other side of the mountain. Adador was the first to react that something was wrong, urging the storm chariot to rise into the air, just in time to see Amon and the others flying towards Salem City without even looking back.
Adad also flew into the air, gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that Amon already knows that there is an ambush on the plateau, and deliberately shot this arrow but did not chase it, it is clearly humiliating us!"
The ash god Nugus cautiously reminded: "The two gods, Prulli did not succeed in getting out, and Amon's arrow is much stronger than it was at the beginning. ”
Adador squinted his eyes and said, "His strength is indeed beyond my original estimate, but even so, he is not my opponent! I have the Storm Chariot and the latest secret weapon, even Enriel back then may not be stronger than I am now." The fact that he did not dare to chase after the mountains already shows his timidity!"
Adad also shouted: "I said a long time ago, with our strength, why should we be afraid of him? I didn't know where he had gone, so I set a trap for Pruli to lure him out, and now I know that he is there, so let go of the fight!"
Adador nodded with a gloomy face, "Well, since he doesn't come, let's go!" and let the entire people of Salem pay for their gods. ”
As the two gods spoke, a swirling air flow began on the plateau, and the clouds gradually converged and became lower and thicker, surging and tumbling to present a terrifying scene, and there was a trace of electric light in the dark clouds accompanied by the sound of thunderclaps, and another huge storm with a devastating aura was being generated, reminiscent of the signs before the great flood that had destroyed the town of Duk years ago.
...... The people of Salem had received an urgent oracle from the god Amun, ordering everyone to return to the city and prepare for a storm.
Amon had learned from the goddess Muyun that Enriel had driven the storm chariot through the air currents of the great flood, and that there were two gods and an oracle, Adad, and Pruli.
The Storm Chariot is Adador's artifact, which has been refined by many gods of Anunaqi, and is extremely powerful, and the latest news from the Anunaqi God Kingdom, Adador has also obtained a "secret weapon", and its magic is unimaginable.
The news that Amun was going to attack Queen Erebi's Hades caused a dispute among the gods of Anunaqi, some gods stayed out of the matter, some gods such as Mu Yun supported Amon in their hearts, but it was inconvenient to help him directly, and some gods were ready to destroy Amun.
