If you had a golden apple, who would you give it to?
At the banquet, Lorne, who had been invited, saw the golden apple on the plate inscribed with "For the Fairest Goddess," and the t...
Chapter 313 I am weak, but that doesn't mean you are stronger than me (4.0k)
"roar!"
The pitch-black ether dragon struggled half of its body out of the abyss, opened its mouth and pounced on the tiny ant-like life on the ground, preparing to enjoy its first meal after waking up.
It was as if the might of hell was overwhelming them. The surrounding air and ether became stagnant and solidified, as if they had turned into a sticky quagmire. The people trapped in it had their limbs stiffened, and they were frozen in place like clay sculptures or wooden carvings. They could only watch the bloody mouth fall.
“Boom!”
At this moment, a murderous roar broke the silence of the scene, and fierce lightning fell from the sky, like a fallen silver sword, directly striking Hippomenes in mid-air.
The dragon's body immediately shrank back, and it growled and swung its sharp claws upwards. After paying the price of several broken fingers, it crushed the lightning above Hippomenes' head.
It seems that the two sides are evenly matched.
However, as the Ether Dragon pressed its broken claw to the ground, the stone walls of the surrounding temples flickered with light, and dark mud flowed out from the abyss, adhering to the dragon claw, completely repairing the damage in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Loen, who was on the distant mountain, couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Infinite regeneration? A bit tricky.
"Hide and hide, come out!"
At the same time, Hippomenes, who was nearly turned into charcoal by lightning, could not help but become really angry. Based on the direction of several attacks, he locked onto the source of the danger.
At the same time, the Ether Dragon Beast under him also let out a low roar, opened its bloody mouth towards the distant mountain, and made a gesture of inhaling.
All of a sudden, the surrounding ether was sucked away and turned into a red and black light ball that was compressed to the extreme in the dragon beast's mouth.
laugh!
The next moment, a thick purple-red beam of magic power shot out from the dragon beast's mouth, swept across the sky with a sharp whistle, created a dazzling aurora in the air, and hit the distant mountain in an instant.
Mountains that were hundreds of meters high were flattened in an instant, collapsed rocks flew everywhere, and dark red magma rolled down.
Accompanied by the blast, four figures fell awkwardly into the crowd, narrowly escaping the disaster.
"Finally you came out, you little mice hiding in the back."
Hippomenes looked down at the four embarrassed opponents in front of him and sneered arrogantly.
However, his pupils suddenly shrank and he thought of a problem that he had overlooked.
The people initially sent out to explore the way seemed to be - five people?
The moment Hippomenes realized this, the power of a landslide and tsunami suddenly burst out from behind him.
He was caught off guard and flew out like a cannonball, smashing the trees and rocks along the way, until he slid hundreds of meters away before stopping.
Immediately afterwards, a javelin as powerful as a meteor streaked across the sky, dragged the figure that stood up shakily from the smoke and dust for dozens of meters, and nailed it firmly to the tree trunk.
Hippomenes looked at the figure standing above the Etherdramon with disbelief in his eyes.
Loen kicked hard on the Ether Dragon's raised head. Immediately, the dragon's bones shattered, dirt splashed, and its huge head was split in half. It fell into the abyss with a wail.
"It looks like you guys are not that great either."
After doing all this lightly, Loen shook his head and commented indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Hippomenes suddenly felt a surge of blood and vomited a large mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments, his eyes full of confusion.
In the registered list of conquerors, isn't this guy the weakest?
Damn it, those sons of bitches in the Moon Temple actually have something else up their sleeves...
The culprit, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, had gradually dimmed his eyes and slowly drooped his head.
After confirming that the other party's life force was gone, Loen withdrew his gaze and looked at his arm where several light-like cracks appeared, frowning slightly.
Sure enough, using power above the divine level is still far beyond the capacity of this body.
We must resolve this issue quickly!
Then, he looked down at the Ether Dragon Beast, which had once again freed most of its body from the abyss and had recovered from its injuries, and his eyes sank.
It’s not control, but awakening!
Therefore, even if Hippomenes is killed, it will be useless, this thing must be solved at the same time.
"roar!"
The ether dragon roared and successfully flapped its wings to rise into the air. Its pair of red and black vertical pupils, the size of lanterns, stared at the tiny ant-like figure in front of it, not daring to act rashly.
The biological instinct told it that this was the only existence on the field that could pose a threat to it.
This human is very strong!
Loen slowly materialized the Altar Cloth and the Spear of Nation-Building, glanced at the light-like cracks that were spreading and expanding on his arms, and spoke solemnly to the people behind him.
"I can only delay for thirty minutes at most. During this time, find a way to destroy the temple!"
Since the infinite regeneration ability of this ether dragon beast has nothing to do with Hippomenes, the most likely reason at present is that the Typhon Temple built of flesh, blood and rocks provides it with divine protection, creating a strong home advantage.
"good!"
At the critical moment, everyone responded in unison, and then spontaneously followed the twin brothers, Medea, and Atalanta, rushing towards the Temple of Typhon in front of the rift.
When the Etherdramon saw the actions of the people on the ground, it could no longer hold back. It raised its head and let out an aggressive and majestic roar, like a monarch enraged by thunder.
In an instant, the eyes of the monsters scattered all around suddenly glowed with blood, and they let out sharp roars, rushing towards the tiny humans who were trying to attack the temple like a surging tide.
The four top magical beasts endowed with the divinity of Typhon, including the White Chimera, the Sphinx, the Nine-headed Hydra, and the Nemean Lion, all died on the scene.
Flames, curse bullets, and venom came like an overwhelming force. The fierce attack made everyone's scalp tingle.
"Goddess Hecate standing at the fork in the road, the queen of hell, the guide of the living, I pray here with my lifeblood - all things in the world, return, trace, and reconstruct!"
Medea stepped forward and chanted solemnly, waving the Dark Moon Staff in her hand forward as she uttered the last syllable.
Suddenly, the ground shook and stone walls emerged from the ground, sheltering everyone inside and blocking the flames, curse bullets and venom coming from all directions.
“Well done!”
Atalanta gave a look of approval to her friend's outstanding performance, and then led the crusaders around her to advance quickly towards the temple under the cover of the magic barrier.
However, the group of monsters on the opposite side obviously would not give them this opportunity easily.
The Nemean Lion roared out of the camp and used its strong bones to smash the stone wall into pieces.
Faced with this purely physical attack, Medea's magic defense technique was somewhat stretched.
Seeing this ferocious monster about to rush into their camp, a low roar was heard from the crowd.
"let me!"
With a rough and deep voice, a burly figure as big as a giant bear roared forward like a cannonball. The deep blue ocean power stirred up huge waves of light that rushed and shook in all directions. The muscular right arm slammed hard on the forehead of the Nemean lion.
In an instant, the brown-yellow lion running forward was like being hit by a speeding chariot. It flew dozens of meters straight and slammed heavily into the group of monsters, crushing several unlucky monster wolves into meat paste.
But soon, the thick-skinned monster crawled up from the ground, growled angrily, and led a large number of magical beasts to rush towards the gap he had opened earlier.
Saint Polymonus, standing in front of the gap like a bronze wall, grabbed the wine jug at his waist, took a big gulp, and turned back to laugh heartily.
"Brothers of the Dionysian Church, do you still have the capacity for drinking and courage?"
"cheers!"
Dozens of joyful voices rang out, and the Dionysian believers took off the wine jugs from their waists and drank heavily.
The sweet wine flows through the throat and into every part of the body. The hazy drunkenness blocks the pain, and the heat in the body makes the blood rush, awakening the potential power in the body.
They took shaky steps and stood firmly behind Saint Polymonos, building a new high wall with their flesh and blood to block the impact of the beast tide.
Even though there is a tragic Shura battlefield ahead, the mortals with blood in their veins are fearless and undaunted!
"Walk!"
The twin brothers shouted loudly to wake up their teammates and ordered them to move on.
As Spartan princes who had received military training since childhood, they understood what they should and should not do at this moment.
On the battlefield, pity and sadness are the most useless emotions. If you want to save your teammates and not let their sacrifice go to waste, you must defeat the enemy as soon as possible and destroy the temple!
But the monsters also understood this truth. The white Chimera King led dozens of his subordinates, bypassed the defense line built by the Dionysus Cult, smashed the stone wall from the flank, and rushed towards the camp of the crusaders.
"Get lost!"
Pollux, the younger twin brother, flashed forward and slashed the white chimera on the forehead with a sword, blasting the beast dozens of meters away.
"Leave these beasts to me, you go first!"
Pollux murmured to his brother and teammates behind him and walked out of the formation.
Castor, the elder brother, nodded without saying a word, and continued to move forward with the remaining men.
Although they are inseparable brothers, they have to separate temporarily for the final victory in the battle.
After watching the team leave, Pollux dropped the bronze sword in his hand, summoned the Gemini Cloth, cracked his finger bones, and walked towards the Chimera group with a sneer.
Compared to using a sword, he is actually better at using fists.
Just to cooperate with his brother, he rarely shows this strength in front of others.
Now, it’s just right to practice with these beasts!
In an instant, Pollux turned into a golden stream of light and rushed into the Chimera group, bringing with him a strong storm of blood and rain.
The White Chimera King was furious upon seeing this, and immediately turned around to face the powerful enemy.
Just as the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle, the advancing team encountered a new interceptor.
——A giant nine-headed snake tens of meters tall!
"I'll do it!"
Atalanta pulled the bowstring and stepped out decisively.
As a follower of Artemis, she can use the Sky Bow in her hand to bring out the dual divinity of the hunting goddess.
The aspect of disease and death can just restrain the immortal monsters.
At the same time, the archer's mobility also allows her to effectively avoid close combat, so as not to be attacked by the venom of the nine-headed Hydra.
Therefore, she was the first to take charge of this interception.
Atalanta first shot the monster's forehead with several arrows to attract the Hydra's hatred, then leaped to the outside and led this monster, which obviously had a low IQ, away from the team's path.
The older twin brother, Castor, cast a respectful glance at the back and continued to move towards the temple.
During this period, magical beasts kept attacking.
There were also magicians or divine blood warriors who spontaneously took the responsibility of intercepting and covering the rear.
Finally, after paying the price of losing more than half of his men, Castor arrived at the gate of the Temple of Flesh and Blood with a team of less than a hundred people.
Two sphinxes with wings on their backs, human faces and crowns stood up in front of the temple door with a roar, looking down grimly at the intruders who wanted to usurp the power of God.
Needless to say, this time Castor took the initiative to step forward and lead the remaining team to fight against the two gatekeeper monsters.
Under the intentional cover of everyone, Medea rushed into the temple using magic to conceal her breath and figure.
As soon as you enter the door, the strong smell of blood hits you in the face. In the dark and gloomy space, there are criss-crossing purple-red corridors leading to all directions.
As we went deeper and deeper, we saw purple-red animal eggs that looked like nodules scattered all over the corridor.
Bang!
Hearing the noise, a struggling figure hit the purple-red egg wall, and the hideous outline was pressing towards the placenta, trying to break out of the shell.
Then, the purple-red monster eggs that were stuck to the outside of the blood vessels fell down.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Amid the sound of bubbles bursting one after another, dozens of magical beasts of all sizes emerged from their eggs and roared towards the invaders who dared to break into the temple.
Seeing this, Medea waved her hands hurriedly.
One by one, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers broke out of the ground, wielding bone swords and spear shields, guarding their master and facing the swarming group of monsters.
Fortunately, before setting off, her senior brother gave her these dragon teeth as a backup source of troops, otherwise it would be very dangerous for a magician to break into the temple.
Thump, thump, thump—
In the dim temple, accompanied by hurried footsteps, Medea's stumbling figure ran inside the cave in a rather embarrassed manner along the entrance.
Behind her, blood vessels were wriggling and deforming, and magical beasts were breaking out of their shells, pouring in from all directions.
The spells behind him were activated one after another, but they could only delay the attacks for a moment.
Boom——
Almost at the same time, fierce lightning flashed down from the foggy sky, and the majestic ether formed a sharp sword that penetrated the sky and the earth.
The sticky blood-red mist dissipated, and the invisible chilling feeling dissipated.
Good opportunity!
Medea took advantage of the opportunity when the aura of the temple was exposed, raised the [Talisman of Destroying All Laws] in her hand, and slashed at the walls with floating divine patterns around her, and finally stabbed the sharp blade into the mottled bronze altar.
Suddenly, a series of roars came from under the feet, and the ground shook violently. The entire temple made of flesh, blood, and stone was like a pile of building blocks with its support removed, about to collapse, and was covered with cracks.
