Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

He thought that after absorbing the divine blood bestowed by Lord Hades, he would become an invincible being among mortals, but he never expected to encounter a Capricorn who was his equal.

Although it was somewhat unexpected and surprising, Rhadamanthus was also excited about it.

Because being invincible also represents loneliness.

Sometimes, it's a blessing to find a worthy opponent.

"You take my move too!"

With a powerful flap of his wings, he instantly changed direction and soared into the sky.

"Greeting Roar"

He looked down at El Cid below and roared angrily.

"Roar--"

In an instant, deafening sound waves rolled down, making El Cid dizzy.

"Roaring Giant Wings"

Taking this opportunity, Rhadamanthys concentrated his cosmos power into his wings, then flapped them forcefully, accelerating as he swooped down toward the ground.

The powerful energy of his cosmos condensed on his body, and he transformed into a flying dragon over ten meters long, using the sharp horn on his forehead to crash straight into El Cid.

However, having already attained the Eighth Sense, El Cid's mental will has reached a new level, giving him a tremendous resistance to such mental attacks.

He had already regained consciousness before the flying dragon even approached.

However, he no longer had time to gather his strength to unleash his combat skills, so he could only swing an ordinary hand chop to meet the attack.

Chapter 271 Facing the Cry of Heaven (Part 1)

clang!

El Cid delivered a chop to the side of the dragon's horn, but his usually invincible chop met its match this time and failed to break the horn.

However, after their previous encounter, El Cid was already mentally prepared for this.

The opponent's defense is very strong, and without charging up his combat skills, his hand strikes are not enough to pose a threat to Radamanthys.

His main objective was to deflect the attack and thus avoid it.

However, he underestimated Rhadamanthus, who possessed the body of a demigod.

Rhadamanthus not only possesses powerful defensive capabilities, but also terrifying physical strength.

El Cid's chop not only failed to deflect the dragon's trajectory, but he himself was instead propelled away by the terrifying impact of the dragon's pounce.

Rumble!

The ground beneath El Cid's feet crumbled layer by layer, unable to stop his retreat, leaving two long scratches on the ground.

After retreating nearly a thousand meters until it was completely out of the original magic array range, the flying dragon's momentum was finally exhausted.

As the dragon's momentum waned and its shadow dissipated, Rhadamanthus's figure reappeared.

"Now!"

El Cid did not let the opportunity pass, raising his left palm as a blade and decisively slashing down.

"You underestimate me!"

Radamanthys snorted and kicked El Cid in the elbow, deflecting his opponent's attack and narrowly avoiding the dangerous blow.

But El Cid did not stop his offensive, continuing his close-range attacks with sharp hand chops.

The two engaged in a fierce exchange.

On the other side, Wu Xin faced off against Tian Ku Xing Balinda.

"Thank me! As the first Saint I faced after leaving Hell! I've decided to grant you a painless and dignified death!" Balendane shouted from afar, then pointed a finger at Goshin.

"Sweet scent"

In an instant, female demons with the bodies of eagles but the heads of beautiful women appeared.

They flapped their wings quickly and joyfully surrounded Wuxin.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in outsiders!"

Wu Xin smiled faintly, then hurriedly stepped back and opened his left hand forward, releasing icy aura.

He knew very well that these banshees, though seemingly harmless, were actually monsters that devoured the lives of others.

If you were to be surrounded by them, you would likely have your life force drained away very quickly, and die without even realizing it.

However, the banshees had no intention of letting him go so easily, and immediately flapped their wings and chased after him again.

Unfortunately, they didn't notice that as Wu Xin retreated, he released waves of icy aura to block their path.

However, this cannot be blamed on them. They are merely products of Balendain's cosmos, not real harpies, and do not possess true intelligence, so their adaptability is quite lacking.

A group of banshees crashed straight into the icy aura. A layer of crystalline ice crystals formed on their bodies, their flight speed suddenly decreased, and they were completely frozen and fell to the ground.

Bang bang bang!

The frozen banshees crashed to the ground like exquisite glass ornaments shattering.

"He can even use ice power?" Balendane was somewhat surprised.

According to the intelligence he obtained, Crater was most skilled at using the power of death, which is why he infiltrated Hell to rescue Pegasus.

Unexpectedly, not only is the Giant Clan adept at using the power of death, but they are also highly skilled in wielding the power of ice.

However, he quickly regained his composure and remained confident.

As the commander guarding the Eighth Hell, the Frozen Hell, he had long since developed a great resistance to the power of ice by spending so much time in that frigid environment.

No matter how skilled Crater is at using ice power, it cannot pose a threat to him.

Having annihilated the banshee in one fell swoop, Wu Xin stopped again, gazing at the approaching Tianku Star from afar, and said earnestly, "I've heard that the Eighth Hell, the Frozen Hell, which you guard, is the place where all the heroic spirits of the Saint Seiya are punished."

"Today, let me use the power of ice to let you experience this icy torture!"

As he spoke, a ball of extremely cold energy had already condensed in his palm.

"Ice Spear White Lotus"

He then raised the extremely cold air mass high above his head, and it immediately rose into the sky, where it condensed into water vapor, transforming into sharp ice spears that covered the sky for nearly a hundred meters in radius.

"fall!"

With a soft shout, he pulled the ice spears down, and with the acceleration of gravity, countless ice spears rained down on Tianku Star.

"Ice spear? Hmph—"

Balin snorted coldly and hurriedly folded his wings, wrapping himself up completely.

There's no way to avoid it now, so the only option is to defend.

Fortunately, he was very confident in his resistance and did not take Wu Xin's attack seriously at all.

Bang bang bang!

Endless ice spears rained down, striking Balendane heavily, but the sharp ice spears couldn't break through his defenses at all. Instead, they shattered upon impact, barely managing to shake off a few feathers onto the ground.

Those were fragments of wings from the other party's funerary clothes.

"Such strong defensive capabilities!" Wu Xin was secretly surprised.

Since his trip to the Temple of the Moon, his strength has advanced further, reaching the intermediate level of the Seventh Sense.

Logically speaking, even a powerhouse like Balendane, who is at the peak of the Seventh Sense, shouldn't have been able to block his attack so easily.

"No, it's not that his defense is stronger, it's a matter of resistance!" He quickly figured out the key point.

Balendane, the star of the Heavenly Cry, is the ruler of the Eighth Hell, the Frozen Hell, a boundless ice plain where the souls of all the Saints and the rest of the blasphemers are imprisoned and eternally subjected to the torture of extreme cold.

Being in such an environment for a long time will inevitably lead to greater cold resistance.

His ice spear is not just a simple physical impact; it also incorporates the corrosive effect of freezing air.

The corrosive effect of the freezing air can weaken an opponent's defenses from the inside, allowing the ice spear's impact damage to be maximized.

However, if the opponent has extremely strong cold resistance, the freezing effect of the ice spear will be limited, and the impact damage will naturally be greatly reduced.

As he was pondering, or perhaps sensing that the ice spear was about to run out, Balendane, who had been hiding under his wings, suddenly spread his wings and revealed himself.

boom!

As he spread his wings, a powerful surge of cosmic energy erupted outwards, blasting away the last few ice spears that were falling from above.

Moreover, during the time he was hiding, he secretly accumulated a surge of power. When he sensed that Wu Xin's offensive was waning, he decisively launched a counterattack.

Chapter 272 Facing the Cry of Heaven (Part 2)

"Rotten and foul wind"

Balin flapped his wings forcefully, and gusts of gray-black wind rose from beneath them, carrying an extremely putrid stench that swept towards Wuxin.

Before the wind arrived, the putrid stench had already reached Wuxin's nostrils.

"Huff—"

Wu Xin's face turned pale instantly, and his stomach churned violently as he dry-heaved incessantly.

"This guy's moves are disgusting!"

"If you get hit by that gust of wind, even if it's not lethal, it'll be disgusting enough to make you die!" Wu Xin thought to himself, quickly retreating and releasing freezing air forward again.

Low temperatures can reduce the activity of molecules and slow down their diffusion rate. Based on this fundamental principle, freezing air can reduce the rate at which odors are conducted by using low temperatures.

However, he clearly underestimated Balendane this time.

The previous move, 'Sweet Aura,' didn't have much direct killing power. It relied entirely on the summoned banshee to drain the opponent's life essence to cause damage. Once the banshee was attacked, it was easily countered. But this time is different.

The move 'Rotten Foul Wind' is not only disgusting because of its stench, but it also contains the power of corruption, which can silently corrupt everything.

Just like the legendary harpies, they would defile everything they came into contact with.

The dark gray wind blew into the frozen air, slowing it down slightly, but it visibly corroded all the frozen air, turning it into murky water droplets that fell to the ground, and even corroding the ground, sending up wisps of blue smoke.

"What!!"
