Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Just then, a familiar roar came from not far away.

The sleepless dragon Korchis has already spotted them and is rushing towards them.

“Manigoldo’s body has been found, and we can leave the secret realm now!” Yapafica pointed to a corpse lying not far away.

"Then let's go!"

Regulus said nothing more and immediately led the two away from the secret realm.

At Yomotsu Hirasaka, Goshin and the other two, who had just landed, were still immersed in the grief of Manigoldo's death and had not yet recovered.

It wasn't until a dazed zombie bumped into Wu Xin, touching his injuries and causing a sharp pain, that he snapped out of his daze and gasped.

"hiss--"

"It hurts!"

He bared his teeth and then shoved the zombie that had bumped into him aside.

Seeing the Capricorn man barely breathing not far away, he limped over with difficulty.

"Lord El Cid, are you alright?" he asked hurriedly.

El Cid was severely injured, and then he burned his life force to buy time for Manigoldo, and was now extremely weak.

When Wuxin asked him a question, he opened his mouth with difficulty, but couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Wuxin quickly took out the last five drops of Moon Essence Holy Water and carefully dripped them into El Cid's mouth.

As the holy water entered his throat, El Cid's originally weak aura slowly rose, and his pale complexion improved slightly.

"My lord, will you return it?" Wuxin asked again with concern.

"Thank goodness, I won't die for now! Your holy water has been a great help!" After being healed by the holy water, El Cid finally had some strength to speak.

"It's just a pity that Manigoldo..." El Cid's expression darkened as he recalled how he had just risked his life to send away his Cancer.

"My senior brother will not have died in vain! I will definitely avenge him! I will make them pay for their crimes in blood!" Wu Xin said through gritted teeth.

Since he came into this world, he had never wanted to kill anyone so intensely.

Even when facing the Specters of the Underworld, he only fought based on his responsibility as a Saint, and he did not have any particular hatred towards them.

But the appearance of the Blasphemers brought Wu Xin's killing intent and hatred to a peak.

He wanted to kill someone!

“Count me in! Without Manigoldo, I’d be dead anyway!” El Cid immediately declared.

He thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, Manigoldo opened up a way out for them in their despair.

He will never forget such kindness.

"However, before we seek revenge, let's heal our wounds first and then leave this place!" Looking at the dead who were drawn to them by their living presence, Wu Xin frowned.

This is not a place to rest; they need to find another place.

If they weren't both too badly injured to return to the human world rashly, he would have already left Yomotsu Hirasaka with El Cid.

Chapter 163 Return to the Sanctuary

Before long, Wuxin found a secluded corner and carried El Cid there.

The terrain here is treacherous, and the dead, who are left with only instinct, cannot climb up, so their rest will not be disturbed.

"My lord, how long will it take for you to regain your basic combat strength?" After settling back in, Wu Xin asked El Cid with concern.

El Cid checked his physical condition, thought for a moment, and replied seriously, "With the five drops of holy water you gave me, it should only take about a day for me to barely regain some of my self-defense capabilities."

"At that time, we can also consider returning to the Holy Land!"

"A day? That's not too long!" Wu Xin nodded, then sat down cross-legged beside him.

He was also seriously injured, but he was not the primary target of the two blasphemers, so he was not deliberately targeted by them, and his injuries were the lightest of the two.

In addition, he possesses a bronze body, and his recovery ability is far superior to that of ordinary people; even a Gold Saint like El Cid cannot compare to him.

Preliminary estimates suggest that he should recover nearly 50% of his injuries within a day, and his ability to protect himself will be greatly enhanced.

Immediately, the two closed their eyes quietly and silently circulated their inner cosmic power throughout their bodies, stimulating their bodily functions to recover quickly.

Before I knew it, a day had passed.

When Wuxin opened his eyes again, he immediately felt that the pain in his body had lessened considerably.

He clenched his right hand and felt his strength return, and his safety was also somewhat guaranteed.

Sensing the fluctuations emanating from him, El Cid beside him also opened his eyes.

"How much have you recovered?" he asked earnestly.

"About 50% of my combat strength!" Wu Xin replied after thinking for a moment.

"And you, sir?" he then asked in return.

El Cid sighed and said, "My injuries are quite bad; I've only recovered about 20% so far."

"However, it's still enough to deal with some small fry."

Although his explanation was rather poor, Wu Xin dared not underestimate a Gold Saint, especially one as skilled in direct combat as El Cid.

Even if the opponent only has 20% of his fighting strength left, if he grits his teeth and fights desperately, taking down a Silver Saint like him shouldn't be a problem.

“In that case, I will prepare to open the dimensional passage and return to the Holy Domain. Do you have any other opinions, my lord?” Wu Xin asked again to confirm.

"Let's do it your way!"

El Cid stood up, looked out at the dark yellow sky, and said helplessly, "The aura of death here is too strong; it's not suitable for someone like me to recuperate here."

"The sooner I leave here and return to the human world, the faster my injuries will heal."

For Saints like Wuxin who are skilled at manipulating the power of death, this place is like a fish in water. But for those who are not good at using the power of death, it's like falling into a quagmire, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Under normal circumstances, he could completely ignore this influence with his own strength. But now that he is seriously injured, this harsh environment will not only fail to help him, but will also hinder his recovery.

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir!"

Wu Xin took a deep breath and then focused the power of his inner universe at his fingertips.

"Sekishiki - Netherworld Wave"

He pointed a finger forward, and five silver streams of energy disappeared into the void under his control.

Relying on his keen perception of life and death through the accumulated corpse energy, he quickly explored the void, searching for the location of the human realm.

Soon, a special node was discovered.

Thanks to the properties of the accumulated corpse energy, he faintly sensed the life force behind the node.

"That's it!"

He was jolted awake, and then manipulated the accumulated corpse energy to surge into it.

In an instant, as the two spatial nodes were pierced by the accumulated corpse energy, a dimensional rift appeared in front of the two.

Wu Xin hurriedly poured his inner universe power into the crack, further widening it.

Soon, a dimensional portal nearly two meters high appeared, and from the other end of the portal came a familiar aura.

"My lord, the passage is stable, we can leave now!" Wu Xin turned around and gestured to El Cid.

"Cough-cough-"

"Let's go then!"

El Cid coughed twice, then stepped inside.

Wu Xin followed closely behind and stepped into the dimensional portal.

He felt a sudden blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him changed.

The originally gloomy sky has been replaced by blue skies and white clouds, and the ground is covered with lush green grass, filled with fresh air.

"The human realm, we've finally returned!"

Feeling the familiar surroundings, El Cid couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"However, it's not time for us to relax yet! Let's return to the Holy Land as soon as possible!" Wu Xin whispered a reminder.

“Yes, we should definitely go back as soon as possible! Cough cough—” El Cid did not object.

The two then searched the surrounding area from their landing point. After finding a small town and making some inquiries, they finally figured out their location.

In the end, it took them nearly three more days to successfully return to the Holy Land.

In fact, given their strength, even in this injured state, it wouldn't take them nearly as long to return to the Holy Land.

However, in order to avoid being discovered and targeted by the enemy, they had to abandon the overly conspicuous method of leaping through the air and instead use land-based speed travel.

In addition, El Cid was seriously injured and could not travel at high speed for long periods of time. He needed to rest along the way, and as a result, it took him three days to return.

Although it took a lot of time, they at least made it safely without encountering any danger.

"My lord, your injuries are so severe, let me take you to see Odysseus first!" Wuxin said, supporting El Cid.

"No need!"

El Cid waved his hand and said seriously, "This is already within the Holy Domain's territory, so there's basically no danger here. I'm enough on my own!"

"You don't need to waste any more time on me, go do your own important things!"

"Cough-cough-"

As he spoke, he broke free from Wuxin's support and limped toward the clinic.

"Sir, you don't need to be so polite!"

Wu Xin quickly caught up and replied softly, "My injuries haven't fully healed yet. I'll just ask Odysseus for help; we're going the same way anyway!"

Seeing this, El Cid said nothing more.

Before long, they arrived at the medical clinic where Odysseus of Ophiuchus was located.

Upon seeing the two of them, Odysseus was somewhat surprised and immediately came forward to greet them, saying, "I didn't expect it would be the two of you who have returned!"

"I heard you've fallen into the underworld, and Lord Sasha has been very worried about you lately!"
