Chapter 101 The Battle with Athena
"With storms whipping up the clouds, with thunder as a celebration, you legendary dragon who commands wind and rain, I descend upon the world through storms, torrential rain, and thunder!"
Based on the authority of the Storm God, Ye Xiao's spiritual power began to activate.
In an instant, the wind rose and the clouds surged, lightning flashed across the sky, and the roars of dragons resounded throughout the heavens.
Immediately afterwards, a three-headed elemental dragon, formed from wind, rain, and thunder, appeared high in the sky.
Ye Xiao instantly stood atop the dragon's head.
"I thought I could summon a real dragon, but it's alright." Ye Xiao touched the dragon horns and smiled.
Although I have a physical body, I am still essentially the authority of the elements, and that feels pretty good.
The manifestation of the power of words comes from one's own perception.
"Then wipe them out!"
In an instant, the wind and rain transformed into a giant dragon that swooped down, and Athena's black serpent, not to be outdone, charged forward to meet it.
The wind dragon, rain dragon, and black snake clashed fiercely, causing energy to overflow, winds to howl, and rain to pour down.
At the same time, it was also filled with bloodshed and violence.
Ye Xiao looked down at the dark serpent on the ground, while Athena on the serpent's head looked up at Ye Xiao.
They ignored the battle between the snake and the dragon nearby.
"Hahaha! How dare a mere demon look down upon the gods!"
Athena looked down at Ye Xiao, who was looking down at her from the sky, and smiled.
This is disrespectful to the gods!
She gripped her hand, and a longbow appeared; then she drew it.
Ye Xiao did the same, holding the flames representing the sun in his hand, and also drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.
He felt the power of the sun that he loathed.
"What an annoying sun."
Athena knew who Ye Xiao had killed, and she glanced at the golden sword stuck in the ground.
If I used it, wouldn't I have already lost?
Athena shook her head slightly to clear these thoughts from her mind, and the arrow in her hand, imbued with the power of darkness, shot towards Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao's flaming arrow, carrying intense heat and light, hurtled towards Athena.
The two arrows met in mid-air, unleashing a massive energy surge that was so dazzling it seemed to tear the world apart.
After the energy fluctuations dissipated, a series of explosions followed.
The air was thick with smoke, obscuring visibility.
The two men shoot arrows at each other with bows drawn, a game commonly known as a sniper duel at the center gate.
Explosions continued, and smoke continued to form.
Looking at the cloud of smoke in front of him, Ye Xiao seemed to sense something.
The golden sword is still stuck in the ground, maintaining this barrier.
and so.
Ye Xiao clenched his fist and drew the Sword of Excalibur.
At that moment, countless people seemed to sense something.
Inside the church.
"The Holy Sword has appeared? No, that doesn't seem to be the case."
"What's going on? The Holy Sword is shaking as if it's about to slip out of our control."
The "Destructive Holy Sword" and the "Mimicry Holy Sword" in the hands of Xenovia and Irina began to vibrate and tried to break free.
But the two of them pressed him down.
They've already lost three holy swords; losing these two would be disastrous.
Rias and Sona felt that physically repulsive aura, and both of them frowned.
Holy Sword?
Has it started so soon?
... ... ... ...
In a golden world.
Ding~
A crisp sound echoed in my ears, as if something had collided.
As the smoke dissipated.
"Thank goodness, I almost got slashed."
"That's really impressive."
"Same to you."
Ye Xiao's Excalibur clashed with Athena's Reaper's Scythe, and while they were clashing, Ye Xiao didn't forget to tease Athena.
Athena looked at the holy sword in Ye Xiao's hand with some curiosity.
"Interesting. A demon can actually use a holy sword. Even if you've become a god-killer, you, as a demon, shouldn't be able to withstand a holy sword."
Athena continued waving her scythe, asking, "Why are you unaffected?"
At the same time, he was thinking to himself, what is a demon doing with such bright power, with both the fire of the sun and the holy sword?
You're a demon!
Sparks flew as the sword and sickle clashed repeatedly.
Ye Xiao remained silent in the face of Athena's doubts.
It's not fair to say that the Tiger Talisman brought about an effect; everything was simply a result of Ye Xiao's internal energy achieving balance.
The power of balance is no joke.
Thinking this, Ye Xiao revealed a hint of "tiger" aura.
Athena caught it in an instant. She looked at Ye Xiao, and gradually she saw a white tiger appear behind Ye Xiao.
That feeling brings peace.
It seems that a certain happy balance has been achieved.
She seemed to understand.
I never expected that the demon in front of me would bring me such a surprise.
Seeing Athena's knowing expression, Ye Xiao knew she understood.
They then paused and created some distance.
Ye Xiao pointed his sword at Athena and said, "Athena, have you ever witnessed the ultimate swordsmanship?"
"What!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao swung the Excalibur in his hand with force, and Athena's body was forced back.
When Athena finally stood firm, she was greeted by an overwhelming net of swords.
Athena's pupils contracted.
If it were an ordinary sword, I wouldn't even bother to dodge, but what I was facing was a net of swords made of holy swords.
In an instant, Athena came up with a solution.
"My messengers, my servants, return in response to my call."
As soon as she finished speaking, the giant serpent and the flock of owls that had been fighting with the wind and rain appeared in front of Athena.
They crossed paths in an instant.
The snake and owl vanished in a flash of light, but their lingering power still struck Athena.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the wounds were so deep that bone was visible.
"Hey, is Athena alright?"
"I am unharmed; my snake represents immortality."
As she spoke, Athena's wounds instantly healed, and she twirled the scythe in her hand. "If you want me to become your servant, this is far from enough!"
"Yeah?"
Ye Xiao smiled slightly, and the Excalibur in his hand disappeared, replaced by the Spear of Longinus.
A spear resembling a harpoon appeared in Ye Xiao's hand.
Looking at the crimson spear in Ye Xiao's hand, Athena felt a deadly threat surge into her heart.
"Are you ready for the second round?"
... ... ... ...
Meanwhile, Liliana was flying through the sky with Yuri Mariya in her arms.
"Yuri, can you see?"
Liliana, holding Mariya Yuri in the air, asked her questions.
As a priestess, Yuri Mariya can witness the battle between the king and the disobedient god.
"I saw it!"
"How is the king now?"
Liliana was somewhat anxious. She knew very well what the king's strength was, but as a subject, it was a dereliction of duty for her to let the king face the disobedient god alone.
Yuri Mariya, who was being held by Liliana, saw it.
I saw the king's battlefield.
There were no figures of kings or disobedient gods on the battlefield, only blurry phantoms and a few sparks from collisions.
"The king is alright, he's fighting now."
"Understood!"
Liliana nodded, then quickened her flight and hurried home.
