Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"The aura of divine power?" Aiacos's eyelids twitched upon seeing it.

That was clearly a sacred object imbued with divine power; it was a holy sword!

At the same time, Violet's shadow arrived at Bai Li's feet and merged directly with his original shadow, leaving no trace of anything unusual.

"Finally caught you!"

Violet was overjoyed.

Having blocked Tianxiong Star's attack, Bai Li had no intention of lingering and immediately prepared to retreat.

Since the method of using the accumulated corpse energy to open the human world is not feasible, the only option is to fight our way out; otherwise, we won't be able to leave.

But just as he was about to rush out, he found that he couldn't lift his feet. It was as if an invisible force was pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to move.

"Those shadows?"

Bai Li immediately realized that it was the shadows of Baiore who had bound him.

"That's a really interesting trick!"

"But that alone is not enough to trap me!" He snorted coldly, burning his inner universe to its peak, and then unleashing it towards the surface of his body.

Bang!

The power of his inner universe spread outwards like waves, as if it had collided with something invisible and thrown it away, making Bai Li feel much lighter.

He forcibly broke free from the other party's restraints using purely violent means.

"Who are you? There aren't many Saints with your strength!" Aiacos asked seriously as he landed on the deck of the warship.

"How can you be so sure I'm a Saint Seiya? Maybe I'm just a curious passerby?" Hakurei said with a smile, trying to buy time while planning his escape route.

Aiacos was also adjusting his position, silently sealing off the route to the Underworld Rift, and said seriously, "The entire Underworld Rift has been covered by Lord Thanatos with a magic circle, and it is equipped with the ability to distinguish between friend and foe."

"Any Saint who passes through the magic circle will trigger a red warning light!"

"Now, reveal your identity."

"Let me see who dares to come to this Rift of the Underworld!"

As he spoke, he quietly made a hand gesture to Violet.

Violet, a trusted confidant, understood perfectly and circled around to Hakurei's rear, preparing to launch a pincer attack with Aiacos.

"Since you're so eager to know, then I—"

Bai Li raised his left hand, preparing to remove the helmet from his head.

At this moment, Aiacos's eyes widened, eager to know who the newcomer was.

However, he did not get the result he wanted; what awaited him was a huge golden sword shadow.

Taking advantage of Tianxiongxing's distraction as he removed his helmet, the experienced Bai Li ruthlessly slashed at him with his holy sword.

He had no interest in getting entangled with Tianxiongxing here.

Damn it!

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the sword shadow, Aiacos dared not confront it head-on and could only retreat quickly to avoid it.

With his retreat, Bai Li found an opportunity to escape.

Before the two could react, he pushed off with his feet and accelerated toward the Yellow Springs Rift.

Once he breaks free from here, he should be able to escape this space sealed off by the Grim Reaper and immediately use the accumulated corpse energy to open a passage to the human world and leave.

"Damn it, stop right now!"

Seeing this, Violet, who was a step behind, was a little slow and quickly sped up to catch up.

"Real Beasts"

She leaped into the air, transforming into a giant Behemoth, and charged toward the old man with unstoppable momentum.

Unfortunately, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step.

Furthermore, Bai Li was focused on escaping and didn't bother to look back, which made it impossible for Baioret to catch up.

Just as Bai Li was about to rush through the red magic circle set up on the Yellow Springs Rift, a tall figure with a purple pentagram mark between his eyebrows appeared out of thin air from the center of the magic circle.

"Come and go as you please, what kind of place do you think this is?"

"Divine Punishment Thunder"

The man snorted coldly, raised his hand, and condensed a purple ball of lightning, which he hurled at Bai Li with an extremely oppressive divine aura.

"Thanatos, the god of death?"

Upon recognizing the person blocking his way, Bai Li's heart leaped into his throat.

His mission was to investigate the Grim Reaper's whereabouts and further investigate the Specters' plans to gather intelligence for the Sanctuary to break the deadlock.

Having already experienced the battle in the Dream Realm and personally witnessed the terrifying power of Hypnos, one of the Twin Gods, he was absolutely unwilling to encounter Thanatos, the God of Death, alone under these circumstances.

There was no time to dodge the lightning ball that was being thrown head-on, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and swing his sword to meet it.

"cut!"

Bai Li unleashed a sword strike, and another enormous sword shadow appeared, colliding fiercely with the purple lightning sphere.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the purple lightning sphere exploded, sending countless bolts of purple lightning scattering in all directions like dancing venomous snakes, blasting holes in the surrounding space.

Bai Li's sword strike also failed to leave a trace, as it was shattered by the exploding purple lightning ball, and he was blasted away by the blast.

Seeing this, Violet, who was chasing from behind, was overjoyed and bumped into them without any hesitation.

boom!

Before Bai Li could recover from the explosion, he felt another strong impact from behind.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely terrifying force was transmitted into his body. He felt as if he was about to be crushed, and then he crashed heavily to the ground like a cannonball.

"Wow--"

He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and the crudely made Nether Armor he had stolen could no longer be maintained, shattering and scattering fragments all over the ground.

"So it was you, you old codger!"

"Looks like you're really tired of living!"

"Since that's the case, then let's send you on your way!"

Tianxiongxing Aiacos, who caught up from behind, saw the old man's true face and immediately recognized Bai Li's identity.

That was a veteran of the previous Holy War, the former altar seat of Bai Li.

"Indra's Baptism"

Without hesitation, he continued Violet's attack, flapping his wings at the fallen old man from afar.

In an instant, a blazing pillar of flame rose from Bai Li's center, engulfing the old man, accompanied by feather-like streaks of crimson flame drifting down in all directions.

Just when Aiacos thought Hakurei was about to perish under his flames, a golden sword shadow rose again from the blazing pillar of fire.

In that crimson sea of ​​fire, Bai Li endured the pain in his body, burning his cosmos to protect himself, and then swung the holy sword again, sweeping it out.

Swish!

Before Aiacos could even rejoice, his crimson pillar of flame was extinguished by the golden sword shadow, leaving nothing behind. Only a disheveled old man remained, leaning on his longsword and coughing incessantly.

"Cough cough cough-"

Bai Li coughed up a lot of blood again.

Although he blocked Death's attack with his holy sword, he was hit squarely by the giant beast that Violet had transformed into, which followed closely behind.

He had to admit that the opponent's strength was extraordinary; that terrifying force directly broke several of his ribs and seriously injured him.

"Rare indeed! I never imagined there would be such a powerful female warrior like you in the Underworld! Cough cough cough—" He couldn't help but praise Violet, who was not far away.

In terms of power, perhaps only Taurus can compare to him in the entire Sanctuary; everyone else is inferior, including him.

Especially since the opponent is a rare female fighter.

Chapter 247 Death Blocks the Way (Part 2)

“Thank you for the compliment, but don’t expect me to go easy on you!” Violet said confidently, flicking a strand of hair from her sideburn.

"No need to hold back, just give it your all!"

Bai Li laughed and said, "For a soldier, dying on the battlefield is actually a good ending."

"At least, I don't have to worry about dying weakly in bed because of old age!"

"Cough-cough-"

This burst of laughter aggravated the old man's injuries, causing him to cough.

“However, if you want to take my life, you will have to pay a heavy price! Even if you have the God of Death personally overseeing things!” Bai Li confidently glanced around and focused his gaze on the God of Death.

Perhaps sensing the commotion, the Specters stationed nearby also rushed over, but most of them were second-rate Specters. The only ones who could truly pose a threat to him were Death, Tianxiong Star, and Tiangu Star.

Unfortunately, he was caught off guard and was severely injured by Tian Gu Xing.

At this moment, he no longer expected to return alive.

Upon hearing this, Thanatos, the god of death, stared at the longsword in the old man's hand and calmly said, "What you rely on is nothing more than that sword infused with the power of Athena!"

"If you had brought Athena's artifacts, I might have been more wary."

"But you're far too arrogant, mortal, thinking it's merely a sacred object imbued with divine power!"

As he spoke, he gathered the power of his inner universe into his hand and launched another attack.

"May you forever sink into the abyss, mortals!"

"Fear of the Abyss"

Thanatos raised his right hand high, and the power of his cosmos instantly flowed into the void. Then, a dimensional portal opened, from which countless twisted spiritual monsters flew out.
