Chapter 426: Can you do it, you trash?

As the distance between the challengers sent by both sides shrank to less than ten meters, the black shadow wrapped in a cloak took the lead in attacking.

laugh!

A fierce purple-red sword light exploded in the hall and came quickly.

Diana instinctively took a step to the right and dodged sideways.

A sharp stream of light passed by, and the layers of defensive spells on the outside were neatly cut open.

And the next second, the purple-red edge, still with unabated force, crashed into the marble load-bearing column at the edge of the venue, and the hard stone with a diameter of several meters appeared with a neat and smooth cut, like a block of butter cut by a red-hot knife.

Looking at the magic barrier that was torn apart by a blow and the crumbling load-bearing columns, Helen's face changed slightly. She immediately clenched the magic wand in her hand and knocked it on the ground, gathering the ether factors in the air to stabilize the deconstruction of the load-bearing columns, so as to prevent the entire Elders' House from completely collapsing due to the aftermath of this battle.

At this moment, Diana also realized that the hero opposite whom Agamemnon relied on was no ordinary person, and the current area was not a suitable arena, so she made a prompt decision and jumped towards the empty square outside the door.

The mysterious hero wrapped in a cloak leaped forward without hesitation and swung his sword like an emotionless killing machine.

The sickle-like curved blade cut through the air, and a strange red and black sword light expanded rapidly in Diana's pupils.

"when!"

There was a sharp sound of metal explosion, and a fierce gust of air was raised all around. Diana looked at the purple-red curved sword blade on the shield on her left arm, her face looking a little ugly.

This is not a fight, but a killing!

Every attack from this guy in front of me is aimed at killing him with one blow.

In that case, I won’t be polite!

Diana's eyes turned cold, her pretty face was covered with a biting frost, and her dark blue eyes were also filled with murderous intent.

At the same time, the godslaying sword forged by the craftsman god Hephaestus in her hand swept across her body.

The black shadow that chased Diana to the square also raised the strange purple-red sickle-shaped sword in his hand to fight back.

"boom!"

The sword blades with flashing light patterns collided with each other, and there was a thunderous roar, and the front door of the Elders' House was instantly torn apart and blown away. The two figures at the center of the explosion retreated under the powerful shock wave and crashed into the stone walls and stone pillars in the square, causing gravel and dust to fall in the shock.

Diana steadied herself and looked down at the [God-Slayer Sword] in her hand that was humming and trembling, and the Guardian Shield that had a white mark on it that was cut earlier, and her azure eyes couldn't help but freeze.

The weapon in the opponent's hand is also a divine weapon of the same level!

Just as Diana was thinking, a black shadow in the smoke and dust stomped on the ground hard. A green light flashed under his feet. His body approached Diana at lightning speed and smashed down on her head with the sickle-shaped sword in his hand.

Diana raised her shield to block with her excellent fighting instinct, but the moment she raised her hand, the menacing black shadow in front of her disappeared from her sight without any warning.

At the same time, a sharp explosion of air was heard from somewhere in the blind spot.

Behind!

Diana's heart trembled as two golden metal wings extended from her back, folded in half and pierced behind her with a faint cold light.

Along with the sound of metal clashing with weapons, the black shadow was blown back by the fierce ether storm, but its body faded away again.

No, not disappear!

It's invisible and moves at high speed!

The cloak on this guy seems to be a replica of Hades' invisible helmet, which has the ability to block breath, while the feather boots on his feet contain the divinity of Hermes, the god of speed, which can accelerate to the extreme and walk in the air.

Diana's brain worked rapidly, and she made a judgment immediately. She put away the [Sword of God Slayer] and [Guardian Shield] without hesitation, and clashed her arms violently. The pair of golden [Divine Power Wristbands] on her wrists collided violently, emitting a sharp explosion and a powerful shock wave.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the dark shadow that was approaching the target secretly was struck by lightning and flew into a relief stone wall.

Good opportunity!

As her eyes caught the shape of the shadow, Diana narrowed her eyes, decisively summoned her sword and shield, and rushed towards the target in the ruins.

However, after she had taken a few steps, a strong airflow blew towards her, as if all the strong winds from all directions were concentrated on her, making it difficult for her to move.

A strong sense of crisis surged in Diana's heart, and she instinctively twisted her body.

At the same time, the chains rattled, and a strange purple-red sword blade like a sickle flew out, narrowly brushing Diana's snow-white neck, leaving a shallow wound.

Feeling the slight pain remaining on her skin and the divine blood that continued to seep out, Diana looked at the strange purple-red sickle-shaped sword with a hint of fear.

That sword seemed to have the ability to restrain the immortality of gods and make wounds difficult to heal!

Then, her eyes lowered slightly, and she looked quietly at the strange bag held in the black shadow's left hand.

——Wind God Pocket?

——Another artifact?

Adding the few remaining obscure auras on the opponent's body, this guy probably has at least five pieces of divine weapons!

Moreover, not only is his equipment as luxurious as hers, judging by the divine power he unleashed, this guy's own strength is at least at the level of a god, and his combat skills are also top-notch.

I have to say, this unknown opponent in front of me is very strong!

But, she is stronger!

Diana, excited to see the prey, became more and more eager to fight and launched another attack.

The black shadow threw the Wind God Pocket in his hand above his head, trying to repeat the same trick to create a chance for himself to win.

However, Diana, who had suffered a loss once, was well prepared for this. She swung her arm forward while charging and threw out the Starlight Crown that was upside down in her palm.

As a twinkling starlight streaked across the sky, the [Wind God Pocket] that had just been opened fell to the ground, no longer able to hinder Diana's progress.

Seeing this, the black shadow activated the Boots of Hermes on his feet and the invisibility cloak on his body at the same time, trying to hide in the dark again and take back the initiative.

But before he could move, his feet suddenly tightened.

A dark golden rope came over from nowhere and wrapped around his ankles, making it impossible for him to escape.

That was the Lasso of Truth that had once accidentally caught Loen in the act, and it was also the most powerful divine equipment currently on Diana.

"You're pretty good, what's your name?"

Diana held the other end of the Lasso of Truth and couldn't help but ask the powerful and mysterious black shadow.

The famous gods and heroes have disappeared from Greece for nearly two hundred years. An opponent like this who possesses god-level strength and more than five pieces of divine weapons is definitely not an ordinary person.

Out of curiosity and caution, she really wanted to know the identity of her opponent.

And Diana's question seemed to have flipped a switch in Black Shadow's mind.

He just stood there motionless, muttering like a madman:

"What's my name... What's my name... My name is...####..."

Just as the black shadow uttered a string of vague words, Diana suddenly discovered that a stream of red and black mud was spreading towards her along the lasso of truth that bound the other party. The cold breath seemed to be mixed with strong malice and the cries of countless lives.

A strong sense of crisis surged in Diana's heart, her face changed, and she immediately swung the Lasso of Truth.

The black shadow at the end that was still muttering to itself suddenly smashed to the ground like a cannonball. Its originally agile body was torn into pieces and turned into a pool of red and black mud that seeped into the cracks in the ground.

Looking at the devastated square and the disappearing black figure, the spectators looked at each other in bewilderment.

"So, I should be the winner, right?"

Until the pleasant question came, the two groups looked at Diana who walked out of the smoke and dust, showing different expressions.

As the victor, Helen was of course overjoyed, and the Amazon warriors around her couldn't help but cheer;

Agamemnon's face was not so good. He looked gloomily at the deep pit where the black shadow disappeared, cursing in his heart.

Damn it, this is the original builder of Mycenae! A hero with divine blood who has been deified!

Didn't that woman say that with this divine blood hero around, no one could stop the conquest of Mycenae? How dare she lie to me!

Thinking of this, Agamemnon clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could go back to the tent immediately and strip the woman who had deceived him.

"etc!"

However, before Agamemnon stepped out of the door, Helen called the King of Mycenae from behind and reminded him with a smile.

"Now that the winner has been decided, shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"

Agamemnon's face turned livid with humiliation when he heard this.

It was a great humiliation for him, the king of Mycenae, to bow his head and swear allegiance to a woman and become her vassal.

But then, Agamemnon thought about it, and a plan came to his mind. He snorted and said:

"We the Mycenaeans did lose this fight, but this does not conform to the contract we made before!"

Helen couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "What do you mean?"

Agamemnon answered confidently: "We are challenging the Spartans, not letting an Amazon girl fight for you! Even if we win this duel, it is only a victory for the Amazons, and it does not prove the bravery of the Spartans! Since I am not convinced, the agreement must be invalidated!"

"If you have an opinion, why don't you mention it before the war starts, and then bring it up after the dust settles?"

"It's obvious that he can't afford to lose!"

"You're a bastard who doesn't keep his word!"

The Spartans were furious and cursed at King Agamemnon who was cheating on the spot. In particular, the elders who had received benefits from Agamemnon cursed the most vigorously, as if they were trying to distance themselves from him on the spot.

Obviously, they had completely given up the idea of inviting Agamemnon to rule Sparta.

After all, such a scoundrel who can renege on his debts in public will never keep his promise easily. When Sparta ousts Princess Helen, Agamemnon, who takes the opportunity to ascend to power, is likely to get rid of the Elder Council and then monopolize Sparta's power and powerful army.

However, Agamemnon took his former ally's accusation lightly and simply tore off his face, mocking him:

"What? You let a little girl from Amazon come to fight for you. Does Sparta have no one left? How can this make me believe that you are qualified to lead us Mycenaeans?"

Hearing the taunting remarks, the elders in the Council of Elders were so angry that their facial muscles twitched and their hands and feet trembled.

If they were not old and weak, they would have rushed forward on the spot to prove the courage and strength of the Spartans.

Helen, standing by, pressed her hands together to silence the noisy voices of the elders behind her, and waved to Agamemnon calmly:

"In that case, then you should take your people back to Mycenae. We Spartans will take Troy ourselves, and I will rescue my sister myself!"

"That doesn't have to be the case."

Agamemnon, who received the order to expel him, not only did not leave, but he took the initiative to approach and said:

"Troy is a shame that Sparta and Mycenae must both wash away. There is no reason for us to withdraw just like that."

"So, what do you want?"

"Let's have another fair fight. As long as you Spartans can win, I promise that without hesitation, the entire Mycenae army will obey your orders!"

But then, Agamemnon put down his arms and added leisurely:

"However, since this is a duel concerning the fate of the city-state, it should be between the rulers of each side."

"You want to choose me as your opponent?"

Helen was slightly stunned, looking surprised.

"That's right! Since you want to lead us Mycenaeans, then challenge me to a king-to-king battle!"

Agamemnon grinned at the most beautiful woman in Greece, revealing his true intentions.

"If you win, we Mycenaeans are willing to surrender, but if you lose, I will not only take Sparta's powerful army, but also ask you to marry me! What do you think? Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

"I can't agree to that!"

The elders objected loudly and glared at Agamemnon who was trying to take advantage of the situation.

One is a priestess who has not left her house for two hundred years, and the other is a God-blooded king who has experienced many battles.

One is of frail stature, the other is tall and strong;

One is famous for her beauty, the other for her fighting skills...

With such an obvious contrast, he actually had the audacity to challenge Helen to a duel.

Why didn't you, a bastard, come to challenge them and have a fight between kings when the last king of Sparta was still alive, or when the two princes Pollux and Castor were in power?

It's so shameless!

At this point, Helen seemed to be hesitant as well, and began to attack Agamemnon's credit:

"You've broken your promise once, do you think we'll be fooled again?"

Seeing this, Agamemnon immediately raised his hand and swore a solemn oath:

"Well, I swear to the River Styx: If I lose this duel, I will send troops according to the agreement. If I regret it, I will be damned to Tartarus forever!"

Everyone was moved when they heard this.

This oath is vicious enough, and the River Styx also has a strong binding force on mortals.

But the more this is the case, the more it proves that Agamemnon is sure to win, and he must not agree to it!

"I promise."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Council of Elders looked at Helen who had spoken, with expressions of deep sorrow and grief.

Your Highness the Princess is confused!

Agamemnon, overjoyed, quickly jumped onto the square and shouted excitedly, confirming the bet:

"Okay! Come on, let me see the bravery of the Spartans!"

"Then, as you wish..."

Helen nodded and hummed, a subtle smile on her face, and raised her hand to drop her wand.

Then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, golden light like flowing water covered Helen's exquisite body, forming a gorgeous golden armor like a praying girl.

"boom!"

The next moment, golden light fell towards the square like a meteorite, and the ether storm it set off penetrated the sky and the earth!
