Chapter 176 One of the Originals——Phanes!
"Hahahaha! Good, very good!"
At this moment, Ares, whose wounds had been repaired, spat out blood foam from his mouth and burst into crazy laughter. Then he tore off the cloth on his eyes, stared at Lorne in front of him with his scarlet bloodshot eyes, and a hideous excitement appeared on his face corroded by poison.
"Little thing, you are worthy of my full strength!"
"Then, as a reward, I will grant you death—in the manner of a warrior!"
As soon as the voice fell, a bloody figure rushed in front of Loen in an instant.
So fast!
So fast that it can even catch up with the speed of [Goat]!
Loen looked at the spear head that was rapidly enlarging in front of him, his heart trembled, and he immediately jumped sideways, narrowly avoiding the powerful blow.
Fortunately, goats not only have speed, but also unparalleled flexibility in complex terrain.
Seeing that his attack missed, Ares pressed his wrist down, raised the spear tip upward, and headed straight for the target's throat.
Loen immediately drew out a hundred Hermes characters in the air, but this time they were not used to attack, but to fly everywhere and divide and transform the surrounding space.
Whether it is the [Goat] originating from the god Pan or the [Bull] originating from the island of Crete, both possess the characteristics of a [labyrinth].
Therefore, Ares, who was trapped in it, could not tell the direction for a moment, and could only watch his opponent distance himself again and flee backwards.
"You can only run away? Coward!"
Seeing that this warrior who obviously possessed powerful fighting skills actually began to avoid fighting, Ares, as the king of warriors, denounced the scum among the warrior group.
However, Loen's eyes swept across the several deep pits on the ground that were dug by the blood-red spear, as well as the horrific deathly intent contained in them, and he turned around without hesitation.
And, running faster.
Die! This wimp must be killed!
Unable to bear it any longer, Ares smashed the wooden spear in his hand to the ground, breaking the magic circle that trapped him in one fell swoop. Then he rushed towards the scum in the group of warriors with great momentum, his scarlet eyes gradually filled with bloodshot.
Seeing the blood shadow behind him chasing him relentlessly, Loen took advantage of the terrain and magic to fight and retreat.
The swarming runes and densely buried magic circles along the way exploded one after another, but failed to slow down Ares' speed at all.
On the contrary, as time passed, the blood-red figure behind him got closer and closer, and the scarlet blood flames even ignited the sky, and the crazy and violent roars became louder and louder.
"Die! Die! Die!"
Hearing the deafening roar behind him, Loen narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the monster with blood steaming and burning all over its body, like a beast, and felt relieved.
Sure enough, there are limits to pushing the divinity of war to such an extent.
The answer is that you need to sacrifice rationality!
And this is exactly in line with Ares' usual way of fighting.
Trading brains for force? How foolish!
There was a hint of coldness in Loen's eyes, and then he looked at the blue sea in front of him, with a look of relief on his face.
Finally, here we are!
Ares, who had completely entered a state of war frenzy, relied on his burning war divinity and constantly broke through the limit of speed to complete the chase, waving the spear in his hand and piercing towards the target.
At the same time, the figure standing in the sea stopped running, turned back suddenly, and chanted the holy words quickly.
"This wrath, rise! The waves are reversed, and all things are destroyed! The king of fire and smoke, the overlord who swims in the vast ocean, bears the sin of [jealousy], and no one can be above him!"
In an instant, the sea surface surged and a giant blue narwhal with hard scales, sharp teeth, and spikes under its belly jumped out of the sea.
Flames spewed from its mouth and smoke came out of its nose. With jealousy towards the "stronger one", it let out a piercing scream and, accompanied by surging waves, crushed towards the bloody light.
--court death!
Ares, who was completely in a frenzy, raised the wooden spear in his hand, grinned, and pierced through the blue giant whale's phantom in one fell swoop.
“Crash!”
The huge waves that lost their power collapsed in an instant and turned into a rain curtain that poured down on the shallows.
However, the next moment, dense vines grew on the land nourished by rain, and the tender green buds climbed up Ares' limbs like living things, drilled into his wounds, madly sucked his divine blood, and injected a strange intoxication into his body.
Feeling the tingling in his body, the Warrior King, driven by instinct, immediately activated his divinity, wanting to ignite the divine blood in his body, turning it into a blood-red flame that would burn all evil and eliminate all negative states.
But before the blood-red light could fully appear, a figure broke through the dense rain curtain in the sky and rushed in front of Ares in an instant.
Emerald green grape vines grew wildly at his feet; bunches of purple-red grapes burst open, and the air was filled with intoxicating wine aroma.
In a trance, Ares saw that the figure was surrounded by the heads of various animals: goats, giant whales, bulls, wild boars...
He has horns on his head, his hands are wrapped in vines, and his feet are shaped like a goat's hind legs, reminiscent of the forked hooves of the god Pan.
If Ares had read the unabridged version of the Twenty-Four Lines of the Sacred Word and the Theogony of a certain secret sect, he would have been surprised to find that all these details were consistent with the mythological narratives in the secret book.
It is——【One of the Originals】Phanes!
The next moment, the [giant whale] swung its tail, creating new huge waves and storms; the [goat] ran as fast as lightning; the [bull] stomped its hooves, causing the earth to rumble and tremble; and finally the [wild boar] let out a violent roar, raised its sharp fangs, and rushed towards the Warrior King in an unstoppable manner, as if holding two sharp spears.
Ares' pupils contracted sharply, and he roared subconsciously, swinging the spear in his hand forward.
Two beams of light intersected, and the unburned blood-red divine flame was extinguished by the overwhelming waves. Ares, who was soaked all over, lowered his head stiffly, looking at his chest that was blown through and the empty chest cavity in astonishment.
The bloody heart suddenly appeared in Loen's hand.
"puff!"
With a muffled sound of flesh being crushed, Lykurgos, who was possessed by Ares, fell to the ground like a puppet with its core removed.
Finally, it's solved...
After confirming that the last glimmer of life had been extinguished from the body, Loen breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, the island of Cyprus is close to the sea, so it can bring out the strengths of the [Giant Whale];
Fortunately, the Divine Protection of the Sea has a healing effect, reawakening the defeated incarnation of divinity;
Fortunately, Ares chose to abandon his brain and turned on his blood rage, resisting all attacks to the end...
Fortunately, he had foresight and constructed the concept of "Phanes" in the "Theogony" and "Holy Words" he compiled, laying the foundation for using the power of four divine incarnations at the same time and hiding the most powerful killer move.
Otherwise, maybe I would be the one lying down now.
Loen slowly lowered his head and looked with some fear at the wooden spear that had pierced his chest at his shoulder blade. He raised his hand and struggled to pull it out.
A stream of blood shot out from the wound, blasting a deep pit on the beach. The strong sense of death gathered into an ink-like entity, causing the surrounding vines to wither and die.
This force must be forced out as soon as possible!
Seeing the scene in front of him, Loen's heart trembled. He immediately threw the wooden spear in his hand into the magic circle, preparing to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and find a hidden place to recuperate.
However, after taking just a few steps, the incarnation of the deity behind him, which simultaneously possessed the images of a bull, a giant whale, a goat, and a wild boar, suddenly shattered and turned into specks of light that drifted away.
Damn it!
The [original] state of controlling four incarnations at the same time is not perfect and cannot be maintained for too long!
Luo En cursed inwardly, and suddenly felt a violent aura rushing into his body from the wound on his shoulder.
"puff!"
As his internal organs shook, he couldn't help but feel a fishy and sweet taste in his throat. He opened his mouth and spat out a pool of red and black blood filled with the aura of death. The scene in front of him began to spin.
In the midst of severe pain and confusion, Loen managed to concentrate a little and jumped into the sea, trying to use the healing effect brought by the ocean's protection to fight against the deathly desire erupting in his body.
However, faced with the will of a dying world, a single ocean divinity obviously could not effectively suppress it.
Under another concentrated outburst of deathly intent, Loen's eyes went dark, and he only had time to cast a protective spell before he completely fainted. His uncontrollable body sank into the depths of the dark ocean.
After an unknown amount of time, a faint light emanated from the darkness.
A graceful figure, surrounded and whispered by marine creatures, passed through a colorful coral forest and looked towards the flickering cocoon of light in the center.
Is it him?
The blonde, blue-eyed goddess hesitated for a moment, then finally pursed her lips and reached out to pick up the light cocoon.
However, as if with a sense of something, two arms broke through the flickering cocoon membrane, tightly locked the slender waist, and one head arched into the warm and soft chest.
This little bastard!
The blonde goddess was suddenly attacked and her pretty face turned red. She couldn't help but curse inwardly and wanted to push the other party away.
But the next moment, several strands of luminous plant roots as thin as hair penetrated into her skin, causing the ocean divinity and divine blood in her body to flow out rapidly like a flood breaking through a dam.
At the same time, the strange feeling of intoxication made her feel as if she had been fed jars of strong liquor. She was completely drunk, her whole body was soft and hot, and she could not move. She could only let the guy who was wrapped around her like an octopus squeeze and absorb juice crazily.
Moreover, the loss of divine power and divine blood also brought about a wonderful sense of joy, which constantly washed away her mind and reason.
"Well, take me back!"
In a hurry, she didn't have time to think too much. With suppressed moans in her mouth, she waved her hand to summon a white dolphin and gave orders.
The dolphin immediately picked up the two conjoined people, swung its tail, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
