Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Chapter 224 Forcibly Seizing the Physical Body

However, what Wuxin feared still happened.

As the shockwave from the explosion subsided, a new surge of energy suddenly appeared in the previously calm crater.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xin saw the center of the pit explode again, accompanied by countless flying rubble. A smoke-like thing floated out from the ground and then transformed back into the form of Iphigenia.

"Damn it, is this still not enough to completely kill her?" Wu Xin was immediately shocked and furious.

Judging from his appearance, the opponent's body had become noticeably more ethereal, clearly indicating that his previous move had exhausted much of his resentment, but ultimately it was still not enough to kill him.

"What a powerful blow!"

Iphigenia did not rush to attack. She looked at Wuxin from a distance and calmly said, "That move just now should be your strongest combat technique, right?"

"It can turn the opponent's moves into its own, which is a truly powerful technique."

"Unfortunately, I won't give you that chance again!"

Even for her, blocking that attack came at a great cost.

"However, I still have to thank you again!"

Iphigenia glanced at herself and said with a playful tone, "Thank you for that attack just now. It helped me clear away those excess remnants of thought from my body, making my consciousness purer!"

She did become weaker, but her self-awareness was tempered and became purer.

This was extremely beneficial to her, who was born from endless resentment.

Once all the excess resentment within her has been cleared away, leaving only her, she will be no different from a true soul.

"purely?"

Wu Xin gave Iphigenia a careful look, seemingly lost in thought.

A flash of inspiration struck him; it seemed that if he could seize it, he could defeat the priestess before him.

However, Iphigenia had no intention of giving him a chance and immediately pounced on him.

"Your body looks quite good! Although it doesn't meet my expectations, it can be used for a while!"

Originally, she had no intention of taking over Wuxin's body, but because of that attack just now, she realized that she could no longer waste her energy using her ultimate move against Wuxin.

Because doing so would only allow the opponent to counterattack and severely damage you in return.

However, she currently only possesses a manifestation of resentment and lacks a true physical body. Unable to use her ultimate techniques, her only option to eliminate Wuxin is to engage in a direct battle of souls.

And this is precisely her area of ​​expertise.

"not good!"

Upon realizing the other party's intentions, Wuxin was immediately terrified.

Once he allows this monster born from resentment to invade his body, it becomes almost impossible for him to expel it.

As he retreated to dodge, he concentrated his inner power in his right hand.

"Don't waste your energy! You can't go anywhere within the Moon Goddess's seal! Even the War Goddess you rely on can't possibly rescue you!" Iphigenia shouted as she chased after him.

At first, she didn't recognize Wuxin's gold and silver battle armor, but as time went on, she finally recognized it as a Saint Cloth from the Sanctuary, the unique armor of the Saints under Athena's command.

"You'd better give up struggling and let me take over your body. Maybe I can be merciful and give you a quick death!" she shouted again.

"Daydreaming! If you want my body, then show me what you've got!" Wu Xin sneered, then pointed a finger at the woman who had caught up with him.

"Sekishiki - Netherworld Wave"

Six streams of silver energy flew from his fingertips, like six silver snakes, scattering nimbly and rushing toward the target from six different directions.

"Another technique that directly targets the soul?"

"Unfortunately, the difference in strength between us is too great. Even if you have such a unique skill, you can't do anything to me!"

Seeing through the scheme at a glance, Iphigenia sneered and made no attempt to dodge, continuing to accelerate towards Wuxin.

If it were the previous move that could counter her, she might have been more cautious, but these six weak strands of corpse energy were nothing to her.

Swish swish!

Because Iphigenia did not dodge, the six streams of corpse energy bombarded her from different angles almost simultaneously.

But in that instant, her expression changed.

Because she sensed a divine aura.

Before she could react, a white talisman, hidden within the silvery aura of corpses, was directly affixed to her body.

That was Wuxin's last divine talisman.

He knew very well that the 'corpse aura' alone would hardly pose a threat to Iphigenia, so he secretly hid the divine talisman within the corpse aura, hoping to use its power to deliver a fatal blow.

In an instant, the power of the talisman erupted, releasing bolts of golden lightning that struck Iphigenia.

"Ah-"

Caught completely off guard by this attack, the former moon goddess priestess let out a series of screams.

Taking this opportunity, Wu Xin manipulated the accumulated corpse energy, frantically crushing the priestess's resentful body, trying to completely obliterate it, like greedy silver snakes devouring a delicious meal.

As the golden lightning and silver air currents interacted, the priestess's body became increasingly ethereal.

Unfortunately, there were too few divine talismans left; only one remained.

The golden lightning lasted for less than twenty seconds before completely dissipating, turning the white talisman into ashes, along with the Ghostly Azure Flame that Wu Xin had left behind.

Without the power of the divine talisman to suppress it, Iphigenia immediately blocked Wuxin's obliteration of the accumulated corpse energy, and reached out with both hands to forcefully grasp the six streams of accumulated corpse energy in her hands, as if she had grabbed six giant snakes.

"I really underestimated you! Your tricks are endless!"

She snorted coldly, crushed the six strands of corpse energy, and said, "But it's a pity that you only have one divine talisman. If you had a few more, you might have been able to completely obliterate me!"

"Perhaps, this is your destiny!"

"Your body is destined to belong to me!"

After saying that, she accelerated and pounced on Wuxin again.

Despite his reluctance, Wu Xin didn't dare to fight head-on. He could only retreat and dodge while using his accumulated corpse energy to harass and attack.

Unfortunately, without the aid of the divine talisman, his accumulated corpse energy could no longer have any effect on Iphigenia.

After several more hours of struggle, he was finally caught up by the priestess.

"It's over, kid!"

Iphigenia grabbed Wuxin's shoulder, then leaned forward and burrowed directly into Wuxin's body.

"Do not--"

Wu Xin was both shocked and frightened. He used the accumulated corpse energy to entangle the opponent once again and tried to separate it from himself.

Unfortunately, Iphigenia's resentful body was like a mountain; even with all his might, he couldn't move it an inch and could only watch helplessly as it burrowed into his body.

Chapter 225 Golden Dust

As Iphigenia's resentful body invaded his flesh, Wuxin felt as if his body was becoming numb, gradually losing consciousness.

In contrast, he could clearly feel a chaotic and noisy mixture of consciousness barging into his body in an extremely forceful manner.

It was like a group of robbers who forced open his door and broke into his house.

Soon, deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, Wu Xin saw a woman whose entire body was enveloped in an aura of death.

That is Iphigenia.

However, in this sea of ​​consciousness, all pretense is meaningless, and everyone will reveal their truest selves.

Because consciousness is their truest form.

Wu Xin still had his original physical form, a twenty-year-old young man, while Iphigenia opposite him was different.

She was a collection of resentment, a mixed monster, containing all sorts of resentment within her.

Outside the realm of consciousness, she manifests the form of her primary consciousness.

But here, the remaining resentment she had been hiding was also revealed, like tentacles with human heads growing out of her body, constantly dancing around her main consciousness.

Iphigenia's main consciousness was no longer as handsome as it appeared on the outside. Instead, it resembled a highly decomposed corpse, with most of its face rotten and only some of its original outline still barely discernible.

In addition, Wuxin also discovered that not all the resentment was of one mind with Iphigenia; they all had their own ideas and even wanted to compete for control of the subject.

This is an extremely chaotic complex of consciousnesses.

"Sekishiki - Netherworld Wave"

Wu Xin did not give up resisting and once again used this move in his soul form.

Perhaps because of the special connection between his soul and this move, he suddenly had many new insights at this moment.

"It's useless, don't waste your energy!"

Iphigenia sneered and launched a counterattack as well.

"Ten Thousand Souls Devour the Body"

Suddenly, the countless tentacles behind her grew much larger, baring their fangs and claws as they flew out to meet the six silver streaks of corpse energy.

Just as the two sides were about to make contact, the countless heads on the tentacles suddenly opened their mouths wide and directly bit and swallowed the six silver corpse qi.

"What!!"

Wu Xin was greatly surprised, never expecting that his opponent would become so ferocious and terrifying in this sea of ​​consciousness.

Before he could react, the endless tentacles arrived in front of him and bound him tightly.

"Now, let's see where you can run!" Iphigenia sneered.

Wu Xin hurriedly twisted his body, trying to break free from the binding of those terrifying tentacles, but those tentacles seemed to have suction cups on them, holding him firmly, and no matter how he struggled, it was to no avail.

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, the ugly and terrifying heads on the tentacles opened their mouths and began to gnaw at him like a pack of hungry beasts.

"Ahhh-"

Faced with this damage that directly affected his soul and consciousness, Wuxin was immediately in great pain.

"No, I have to break free, or they'll eat me!"
