Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

Unexpectedly, the illness recurred at this time.

Without Lord Xue Du the Tiger, how can they fight against the Gold Saints before them?

"Damn it, the Saints are too lucky. Lord Xue Du's health has to have problems at this time."

"What do we do now?"

Xue Du's sudden fall threw the Ice Warriors into disarray, while the Gemini Team students and Michelangelo had recovered from the previous attack. Seeing the rare opportunity, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the group of Ice Warriors.

The battle resumed instantly.

This time, the Saints had the upper hand.

Jia Long did not participate in the battle. Instead, he and Esther came to Xue Du. Looking at Xue Du lying on the ground with his eyes closed, but with an indescribable look of excitement on his face, Jia Long couldn't help but shake his head.

"Xue Du, you haven't improved at all. Since you're willing to surrender, fine, I'll take you back to the Holy Land and demand an explanation from Hilda."

"in addition……"

Jia Long suddenly glanced at the void behind Xue Du and said indifferently, "You, the auxiliary star, had better not come out, or I'll capture you too."

“I don’t care whether you hate your brother or love him. Go back and tell Hilda that I won’t kill them for the sake of our long-standing alliance, but if she wants to redeem this cowardly Viking tiger, she’ll have to show her sincerity!”

……

Hilda's ambush, which she was determined to win, ended with the Tiger Xue Du falling to the ground and surrendering, and the rest of the Ice Warriors being defeated and captured. The Shadow Tiger Ba Du, the auxiliary star of Kaiyang Star, who was lurking in the shadows, did not appear after being warned by Jia Long after his hiding place was discovered.

The battle ended in an almost farcical manner.

Not only did the people of the Sanctuary feel that the victory was inexplicable, but even Esther, whose expectations were dashed, was filled with regret.

"I never imagined that the Asahi tribe of yesteryear would have fallen to such a state..."

"It's not as bad as you think. Xue Du is just a special case. Among the Big Dipper, Ice Warriors like Siegfried, Alberich, and Miimee are still very courageous."

The fleet sets sail.

Braving the thick fog, the cargo ship, laden with silver star sand ore, sailed toward the Holy Land.

With this, the twin echelons successfully completed their combat mission.

With these ships of silver stardust, the Sanctuary's plan to upgrade its Silver Armor can finally proceed smoothly. And with Xue Du and the other captured Ice Warriors, Mithril Demon Island will become a safe and stable source of silver stardust for the Sanctuary.

"I wonder how the archer squad's mission is going..."

The Twin Squad's mission has ended, but there's still no news about the Archer Squad, who went to explore the nearby ruins of Troy. They seem to be stuck in some mysterious place, just like the Bronze Squad that went to explore before.

With Aiolos, such a powerful figure, Jia Long wasn't particularly worried. After all, Sagittarius is a very special sign in the zodiac; as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, it's very difficult for others to kill him.

However, the situation developed in a way that Jia Long had not anticipated.

Just as Jia Long was peacefully waiting on the ship for news from Aiolos, preparing to discuss with him the matter of holding the Silver Cloth competition upon his return.

Bad news has come from the Holy Land.

"What?! Sagittarius got shot by Sagittarius?"

Chapter 323 The Curse! Sagittarius Wounded by Sagittarius's Arrow (Part 1)

Upon hearing the devastating news, Jia Long lost all interest in drifting on the ocean, even though he had been living a fulfilling life, occasionally irritating the reincarnation of the Goddess of Strife and enjoying assassinations by the Underworld Commander every now and then.

Especially when you think about the fact that Pandora was the wife of the incredibly powerful Titan god.

Jia Long was even more eager to be assassinated by her.

But now that Sagittarius Aiolos has fallen, he must immediately set off to return to the Sanctuary to take charge.

After entrusting the escort mission to Michelangelo.

Jia Long activated the interdimensional vortex, leading the Gemini team students, Esther, and Ice Warriors like Xue Du back to the Sanctuary.

Outside the Sanctuary.

When Jia Long and his group emerged from the vortex, they found that the security here had become significantly tighter, with even the Parthenon Temple being guarded by Bronze Saints.

"Who dares to trespass... Ah! Lord Galon has returned!"

Although Jia Long and his companions had traveled through time and space, they were spotted by the guards as soon as they appeared, and an alarm sounded as a Bronze Saint flew in from the Parthenon.

It was none other than Casillas of Pegasus.

It's clear that Casillas has been doing quite well in the Sanctuary lately, as he's even been entrusted with the crucial task of guarding the first line of defense on the outer perimeter.

"Yes, I rushed back as soon as I got the news."

Jia Long nodded slightly, then briefly introduced the twin echelon students and Esther to Casillas, and handed over Xue Du and the other ice warriors to the guards to be taken to the Divine Might Prison Water Dungeon.

These Ice Warriors were quite unruly when they were first captured, each one of them arrogant and unruly. However, after being sealed by Jia Long's All-Heavens Stars, they all became spineless. Now, with their cosmos drained, they are not even as good as ordinary warriors.

It takes several years to fully recover.

Therefore, Jia Long entrusted them to the guards with peace of mind. When they arrived at the Divine Might Prison Water Dungeon, the warden there would naturally use various instruments of torture to further restrict their power and teach them to be good people again.

After arranging the Ice Warriors, Jalong, accompanied by Casillas, headed towards the entrance to the Sanctuary. Once inside, Casillas was about to return to the Parthenon to continue his garrison duties when Jalong stopped him.

He noticed that something seemed off about his old subordinate.

"Casillas, has something been wrong lately?"

"Lord Galon, you noticed?"

"Nonsense, your face is covered in injuries, and you walk with a limp. How could I not see that?"

"Lord Galon, I may be cursed."

"Oh?"

"It all started about a year ago. One day, I dreamed of a snow-white pegasus, as white as a cloud, with a person whose face I couldn't see standing on it. He said that my appearance was a desecration of the Pegasus Cloth I was wearing, and that I should take off the Cloth and retire or I would suffer misfortune."

"and then?"

"As a Saint Seiya, I naturally don't believe in bad luck, but ever since then, I've really felt like I'm being haunted by something. Not only do I have nightmares every night, but I also encounter all sorts of accidents inexplicably during the day. For example, my whole body suddenly goes weak when I'm flying, huge rocks suddenly fall from the sky when I'm walking, and even when a flock of birds flies overhead, they leave a clump of droppings on my head..."

With a troubled expression, Casillas pitifully asked Garon again, "Lord Garon, this matter is truly bizarre. I haven't dared to mention it to anyone. Do you think I've really been cursed by an evil spirit?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Long didn't answer but instead asked, "Casillas, was the person on the celestial horse in your dream wearing an extravagant formal suit?"

Casilla's ugly eyes widened immediately: "Lord Galon, how do you know what that guy looks like?"

"Of course I know."

Jia Long said calmly, "Because that guy is our enemy, Mephistopheles, the Heavenly Star of the 108 Demon Stars of the Underworld, you may have been targeted by him."

"An enemy? Mephistopheles, the Celestial Star?"

"Hmm, he's a dangerous guy who likes to play pranks. It would be easy for him to kill you. However, he has a strong connection with Pegasus. The fact that he's gone to such lengths to torment you with dreams and threats shows that he doesn't actually want to kill you. He just wants to force you to take off your Pegasus Cloth."

"You're forcing me to take off my Pegasus Cloth? Does being ugly mean I can't wear the Pegasus Cloth?"

Upon hearing Jia Long's words, Casillas found it utterly unbelievable. However, even knowing that he was not beset by misfortune but rather that an enemy was targeting him, a defiant look appeared on Casillas's ugly face.

"Lord Kanon, rest assured, as a Saint, I will not yield. Not only will I not take off this Pegasus Cloth, but I will also train Cassios to inherit the Pegasus Cloth in the future!"

"Uh...that's fine."

Seeing Casillas's attitude, Jalon couldn't say anything more. After all, Jalon still admired his old subordinate Casillas and the boy Casios.

During the time Jalong was away from the Sanctuary, the Gemini Palace was always being cleaned. When Jalong returned, he specifically asked Aldebaran about it, and Aldebaran said that the father and son were the ones who helped with the cleaning. Aldebaran had allowed Jalong to leave because Kaecilius was one of Jalong's subordinates.

Therefore, even though he felt that Seiya was more suited to the Pegasus Cloth, he would still vigorously train Cassios in the future.

As for who will ultimately wear the Pegasus Cloth.

Then we'll see who's more capable.

After giving Casillas a few more pointers, Jalon let him go. He then disbanded the Twin Squad and headed towards Canon Island with Esther, whose eyes held a hint of inexplicable excitement.

Kanon Island is also heavily guarded, with Bronze Saints stationed at sea and Silver Saints occasionally spotted there.

Upon arriving at the Geocentric medical facility, they discovered that Aiolia, Aldebaran, and Milo were all there, and even Deathmask, who was usually extremely aloof, was standing menacingly by the bedside.

"Garon, you're finally back. Aiolos, he..."

"Yeah, I heard."

After a brief greeting, Kanon looked at Aiolos on the bed. With all the Gold Saints gathered at home, it was clear that Aiolos's injuries were far more serious than he had imagined.

really.

Aiolos, lying unconscious on the bed, was still wearing the Sagittarius Gold Cloth and had no external injuries. However, a golden arrow was stuck in his heart.

"A golden arrow?!"

Upon seeing this famous golden arrow, even though he already knew about Aiolos's injuries, Jalon's eyes widened in disbelief.

Sagittarius was actually hit by Sagittarius's golden arrow. Could it be that Aiolos encountered a being as powerful as Poseidon, the god of the sea, at the ruins of Troy?

This is obviously impossible!

"Garon, we've already checked. This arrow isn't my brother's golden arrow. The one who shot him with the golden arrow was another Sagittarius!"

Seeing Jia Long's surprised expression, Aiolia, who was standing by the window with a look of grief and indignation, said, "After all, only the golden blood of Sagittarius can condense a true golden arrow!"

Chapter 324 The Curse! Sagittarius Wounded by Sagittarius's Arrow (Part 2)

Golden Arrow!

As one of the symbols of Saint Seiya, Sagittarius's golden arrow has a significant history.

In astrological legends, Sagittarius is also known as the Centaur because Sagittarius's first guardian spirit was a powerful centaur named Chiron.

Chiron the centaur was very famous in the Age of Gods. He was half human and half beast, representing the combination of humanity and animality. He possessed a strong beast body comparable to that of dragons, as well as a powerful spiritual force like that of humans.

His greatest skill was archery, an archery skill that made the gods tremble. In that era, almost all heroes skilled in archery came from his school, such as the famous Hercules!

Hercules was Chiron's most prized student, but also the murderer of Chiron. The reason was ridiculous: Hercules was drunk and wanted to steal wine from the centaurs. Chiron, as his teacher, went to stop him, but was tragically shot through the body by his own student with a poisoned arrow.

Chiron, however, possessed an immortality comparable to that of dragons, making it impossible for him to die even if he wanted to. He could only endure the torment of the poison, suffering terribly and wailing day and night. In the end, Zeus, the father of Hercules, couldn't bear to see this and killed Chiron, sending him to the stars to become the guardian spirit of Sagittarius.

The Golden Arrow was formed from Chiron's poisonous blood. Although it could not destroy the soul, it could cause great damage to the divine body, which is why it possessed a power that made the gods fear it.

This terrifying poisoned arrow is Sagittarius's greatest secret technique; to condense it requires the Sagittarius Gold Saint to consume a large amount of Gold Blood.

Therefore, if the golden arrow that struck Aiolos was not his own, then it must have come from another Sagittarius Gold Saint!
