Volume 10: Power and Monsters Chapter 039 Fighting
Medusa knew what Emiya was thinking, so she said bluntly, " Although the one who cursed me is not this Athena in front of me, if I can devour her divine power, I can completely lift the curse."
Emiya suddenly realized something and asked, "Will she agree?"
Medusa said calmly, "We have signed a contract. I will return the Gorgon Stone to her, and she will fight me in her prime. If I lose, everything ends here. But if I win, she must give me her divine foundation. This kind of contract cannot be revoked even by gods."
Emiya couldn't help but let out an "oh".
Medusa continued: "I called you here just to ask you to do me a favor."
"you say."
"Help me merge the magic power and telekinesis into one." Medusa said softly. She knew very well how powerful Athena would be after getting the Gorgon Stone, so she must also become stronger.
"No problem." Emiya nodded, grabbed Medusa's hand, and infused his supernatural power into Medusa's body, drawing the energy of Medusa's cultivated mental ability and the magic power in her body into one.
Even the domineering aura that Medusa had cultivated was swallowed up by this power, and the three merged into one, transforming into supernatural power.
Medusa's aura began to grow at a speed beyond human visual technology.
Athena felt neither happy nor sad when she saw this scene. Although Medusa was getting stronger, she also got the Gorgon Stone.
Then the goddess began to sing to the sky.
I sing, I sing the hymn of the Trinity Goddess, connecting the sky, the earth and the darkness, for samsara and wisdom.
I sing the song of a degraded goddess. Being a queen but being regarded as a forbidden snake is the queen's lament.
I sing the songs of the goddess whose body and soul are torn apart. To be insulted by the noble father is to be humiliated as a loving mother.
My name is Athena, daughter of Zeus, patron saint of Athens, and eternal virgin.
In the past, I was the mother of the earth that gave birth to all things! In the past, I was the lord of the underworld that ruled over darkness! In the past, I was the wise queen who understood the wisdom of heaven! I swear, Athena will return to her original self!
Athena sang a hymn of words.
Like a hymn, like a prayer, like a tribute.
As the chant progressed, Athena's figure began to change. She grew taller, her arms and legs became longer, and she changed from a pitiful girl to a dignified and virtuous lady.
The childishness on his face disappeared at the same time.
Judging from his appearance alone, he looks like he is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his clothes have changed from modern clothes to a white robe with ancient style.
This is the true face of Athena, the goddess of wisdom who has regained her ancient form.
Athena who disobeyed.
Under the rendering of Athena's divine power, the sky began to darken at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sky above the Colosseum instantly turned from day to night.
The stars appear.
Moreover, this darkness is still spreading outwards, intending to cover the whole of Rome.
However, at this moment, Emiya suddenly clapped his hands and activated the ability of the Space Fruit, twisting the space. Medusa and Athena disappeared from Rome at the same time and came to a vast and uninhabited death zone... the Sahara Desert.
"I'm going to change the battlefield. I think you two don't mind." He said softly to the two goddesses.
Athena glanced at Emiya nonchalantly, "You have the aura of Hades."
Emiya said, "That's because I killed Hades a few times."
"But you are not our enemy."
"That's because someone helped me modify the reincarnation ritual. Although I have plundered Hades's cursed power and authority, I am not your mortal enemy."
Athena couldn't help but burst into laughter. "This is really interesting. People from another world are indeed more pleasant than those in this world. I forgive your sins."
At this moment, Medusa's voice came, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Athena."
She has transformed all the strength in her body into supernatural power, and her overall strength has increased dramatically.
Athena said in a cheerful voice: "Very good, then let's compete here, Medusa from another world."
She waved her arms vigorously. In an instant, dozens of owls flew in from the depths of darkness. Dozens of snakes also gathered and crawled over here.
As a bird of prey, the owl has sharp claws and a pointed beak. Each snake is more than five or six meters long. You can tell at a glance that they are a group of venomous snakes because they all have colorful scales.
However, facing the army of poisonous snakes and owls, Medusa simply removed her eyes and opened her own magic eye!
In the Type-Moon world, the ability to use the function of the eye, which is originally used to obtain information through "seeing", as a means of using "seeing" to cast magic on the opponent is called the Mystic Eye.
Demon Eyes also have different levels: gold level, gem level, and rainbow level.
Medusa has the highest level of petrification Mystic Eyes, "Cybele", which is considered impossible to reproduce with magic.
So when Medea opened her magic eye, both the owl and the poisonous snake were petrified in an instant and turned into lifeless stones.
This is the Eye of Medusa.
Even Athena, who had transformed into the goddess of disobedience, could not help but turn her skin into stone when she was seen by Medusa's magic eyes.
But the next second, Athena used her divine power to eliminate the power of the petrifying magic eye.
The stone skin disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You can kill my pet with just your eyes. You are worthy of being a Medusa from another world. If that's the case, I should be more serious."
As Athena spoke, a huge bulge appeared in the desert beneath her feet. The goddess stepped on it, and the front end of the bulge slowly became like a sickle.
That's right, the cold object made of solidified sand looks like a giant snake head looking down from a high place.
The total length is about 20 to 30 meters, and Athena with flowing silver hair is standing upright on the snake's head.
However, the next second, her creation suffered a devastating blow.
Huge magic bullets fell from the sky and hit the snake head under Athena's feet, smashing Athena's snake head into pieces.
Athena missed her step and fell from the sky.
The next second, Medusa rushed in front of Athena at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, like a streak of light, and stabbed Athena's throat with the dagger in her hand.
bite!
However, at the critical moment, Athena swung a sickle and deflected Medusa's attack.
But Medusa did not give up. She used her magical power to strengthen her muscles. With her own extraordinary strength, she launched a violent attack on Athena from all directions in an instant.
In the eyes of outsiders, Athena at this moment seemed to be attacked by dozens of Medusas.
Each Medusa held a short sword and launched a fatal attack at Athena at an incredible angle. If it were someone else, facing so many Medusas, they would probably be at a loss and close their eyes to wait for death.
However, when facing this violent attack, Athena looked around with ease, and the sickle in her hand spun rapidly, blocking Medusa's dagger again and again.
The tinkling sounds came one after another continuously.
Athena also successfully blocked all of Medusa's attacks and even did not forget to counterattack.
The desert beneath her feet suddenly became dark, and the power of death began to spread. In this world, Athena is not only the goddess of wisdom, but also the queen of the underworld. It is normal for her to be able to control the power of death.
Medusa felt the power of death eroding her body and subconsciously stepped back.
But this also fell into Athena's trap.
The sickle in Athena's hand disappeared, but a bow and arrow appeared. She pulled the bowstring tight and released the arrow.
whoosh!
The arrow caught up with the retreating Medusa like a rainbow piercing the sun, and the target was Medusa's forehead. Although Medusa was shocked, she remained calm, turned her wrist, and blocked the arrow with the dagger in front of her eyes, blocking the arrow.
But the next second, four arrows appeared in Athena's right hand at the same time. All of them were placed on the longbow and shot out at the same time.
However, Medusa waved her dagger and deflected the arrows one by one.
Then she put some distance between herself and Athena and threw the dagger in her hand out with force.
whoosh!
The dagger let out a sharp whistling sound and came flying through the air.
Athena drew her longbow and shot a brilliant arrow, knocking the whistling dagger away.
Emiya stood in the distance, watching the confrontation between the two women. Although the fight just now was very exciting, Emiya knew very well that it was just a test attack.
The two women didn't take it seriously at all.
The real battle will come after they finish their probing.
After several clashes, both Athena and Medusa had gained some understanding of their enemy's techniques. Athena thought she had figured out Medusa's attack pattern, and her strength boiled over.
Medusa also became familiar with the magical powers she had just acquired, and stared at Athena intently.
The next second, both people disappeared at the same time.
Then, a huge roar broke out.
Emiya could see a huge sandstorm centered on the two women, sweeping out in all directions like a tidal wave. The boiling divine power and powerful magical powers continued to collide in the void.
The real battle has finally begun.
Athena and Medusa began a fierce fight.
The daggers and the pitch-black sickles intertwined with each other. Every second, the two women would collide hundreds of times. This was a complete supersonic battle.
Their movements have already entered the supersonic realm, and every strike can create a huge roar.
At the same time, the darkness around Athena's feet was gradually spreading. As the darkness spread, the temperature gradually dropped. It was as if winter had suddenly arrived, and the skin felt as cold as if it was being cut open.
Athena put her own strength into the wrist holding the black sickle, and she burned her divine power with all her strength.
