Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

You must understand that his reputation was earned step by step on the battlefield, and he honed his will to its current level bit by bit with the blood of his enemies.

In any case, he was unwilling to believe that a younger generation like El Cid could surpass him in sword intent.

Whether you admit it or not, the outcome will not change!

"This time, I will surely defeat you here!" El Cid was full of fighting spirit, and his sharp aura soared into the sky, even tinging the surrounding wind with a bit of sharpness.

"He's not the only one, we're in too!"

Shion and Pegasus also stepped forward, spreading out in perfect unison to surround the grief-stricken individuals.

"Then you can all die with him!"

In his grief and rage, Ajax the Great roared and leaped up, rapidly swinging his hand blade downwards.

"Holy Sword - Mountain Suppressor"

One sword aura after another flew out from his hand, densely combining together to instantly transform into a massive sword mountain, which pressed down directly on the three of them.

The sharp aura rushed towards them, instantly cutting the skin on their faces, which terrified Pegasus and Shion.

Such a mountain of sword energy pressing down was simply unstoppable.

"I'll hold him off, you guys attack when the opportunity arises!"

After hastily offering a reminder, El Cid took a deep breath and then looked firmly upwards.

"Holy Sword - Chain Blade Draw"

He swung his hand knife rapidly, seemingly tireless, one sword strike after another.

Countless golden sword energies gathered above his head, transforming into a large golden sword that faced the red sword mountain.

Rumble!

Amidst a terrifying clang, the two sword energies, one gold and one red, collided and canceled each other out.

Before our eyes, a huge hole appeared beneath the red sword mountain, but similarly, the front section of the golden greatsword was also missing.

For a moment, the two sword energies were locked in a stalemate, neither able to advance even an inch, constantly colliding in mid-air and releasing bursts of violent impact.

Seeing this, Shion and Pegasus exchanged a glance, and then used the force of the collision to retreat from under the sword mountain.

"Stardust Rotation Technique"

Pegasus Meteor Fist

Without hesitation, the moment they withdrew from the foot of Sword Mountain, they decisively launched a counterattack against the grieved and indignant people above the mountain.

In an instant, a dazzling nebula and a silver meteor shower enveloped it.

Chapter 414 Fierce Battle and Grief (Part 2)

Seeing that he could not suppress El Cid and instead allowed Pegasus and Shion to escape, Ajax the Grief-Slayer had no choice but to give up on continuing to suppress him.

He casually unleashed two sword energies to deflect the two men's attacks.

boom!

The sword energy that Ajax hastily released was far from enough to stop the two of them. He was overwhelmed by their attacks and blasted away.

However, this was exactly what Ajax the Great wanted.

He knew very well that his hastily unleashed sword energy would not be able to stop them at all.

He simply wanted to use the force of the collision with the two to temporarily break free and create distance again.

"Since that last sword strike wasn't enough, then try this one!"

Having regained his footing, Ajax the Great became even more determined, completely disregarding his injuries, and once again gathered an even more terrifying cosmic power in his hand blade.

"Is this the hero of the mythical era?" Pegasus was astonished.

Although their combined attack hadn't been entirely successful, it had still managed to wound Ajax the Great.

However, this evil spirit warrior showed no signs of weakening at all; on the contrary, he became more and more determined and fought with increasing vigor.

"Holy Sword - Sea Severing"

Ajax the Great unleashed another chop with his hand.

A massive sword shadow appeared and slashed straight down towards the heads of the three people.

Just as the two men were preparing to defend themselves, El Cid quickly called out to them.

Watch your step!

Tianma looked closely and saw that as the huge blood-red sword shadow fell, a blood-red sea spread from the ground, threatening to engulf the three of them.

"The sword shadows in the sky are illusions; the real killing move lies in the vast ocean on land—an ocean of condensed sword energy!"

"Get out of the way!"

As a fellow Capricorn and a swordsman who had awakened the Eighth Sense, El Cid naturally saw through the true nature of Ajax's attack at a glance.

If a normal person were unaware of this, they would likely focus their attention on the enormous sword shadow falling from above, thus ignoring the sea of ​​sword energy beneath their feet.

Once its killer move is unleashed, the outcome is predictable.

Upon hearing this, Pegasus and Shion dared not linger any longer and decisively scattered and fled in opposite directions.

As for El Cid, with all four limbs crippled and his legs weak, he naturally abandoned any thought of escaping and chose to confront the enemy head-on.

"Holy Sword - Sword Net"

He swiftly swung his hand blade, unleashing wave after wave of sword energy.

Golden sword energy crisscrossed around him, forming a dense net of sword energy.

Its sharp aura even cut through the air, creating a vacuum around it.

At that moment, the enormous, blood-red sword shadow above also descended.

As it fell into the sea of ​​sword energy, the originally stable sea of ​​sword energy instantly erupted, like a pot of boiling water. Endless blood-red sword energy surged like ocean waves, mercilessly crushing everything tangible in the sea of ​​sword energy.

However, El Cid's sword net is not just a pretty face with no practical use.

The dense net of sword energy pressed down, once again clashing head-on with the blood-red sword energy.

Rumble!

The two sharp sword energies collided and canceled each other out, once again unleashing a series of terrifying shocks that directly stirred up the yellow sand within a radius of nearly a thousand meters, which was then immediately crushed into even finer dust by the sword energy.

"Stardust Rotation Technique"

Pegasus Meteor Fist

Having escaped the sea of ​​sword energy, Pegasus and Shion launched another attack.

The dazzling nebula and silvery meteor shower once again enveloped the grief-stricken.

This time, however, the Grief-stricken Ajax the Great did not dodge or resist. Instead, he continued to focus his energy on El Cid on the Sea of ​​Swords, as if he were determined to eliminate him once and for all.

Rumble!

With a deafening explosion, endless destructive starlight erupted from the brilliant nebula, and silver meteors fell one after another upon Ajax the Great.

At this moment, the sea of ​​swords on the ground and the golden sword net once again canceled each other out, leaving nothing behind, and the two sides were once again tied.

"Did it work?"

Pegasus looked expectantly towards the center of the explosion.

But at that moment, two blood-red sword beams suddenly shot out from the center of the explosion.

Tianma and his companion, thinking they had succeeded, were inevitably somewhat careless and caught off guard by the sudden sword energy.

"Ah-"

The two screamed as their Saint Cloths were sliced ​​open and they were sent flying.

Although those two sword energies were not fatal, they had severely injured them.

At that moment, as the two sword energies shot out, the dust and smoke from the explosion completely dissipated, revealing Ajax the Great, his body covered in blood.

Clearly, he was not in good shape after withstanding a combined attack from Pegasus and his companion.

"Did you deliberately take their attack head-on?" El Cid asked with a serious expression.

At this point, he was also bruised and had suffered some minor injuries.

Although he had just fought to a draw with his opponent, he was too close to the center of the collision while defending, which ultimately put him at a disadvantage.

"That's right!"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ajax the Great said smugly, "Those two persistent ghosts are so annoying!"

"So, I took their attack head-on, which made them lower their guard subconsciously, and then I took the opportunity to severely injure them!"

Because he took the attacks of the two men head-on, he was injured. In order to seize the opportunity, he simply released two sword energies and did not have time to use any combat techniques.

Otherwise, the injuries to Tianma and his companion would not have been as simple as just being seriously injured.

"You're great!"

His two proud moves, "Mountain Suppression" and "Sea Severing," were both blocked by El Cid, forcing him to acknowledge the strength of this Capricorn junior.

"Since that's the case, then I'll let you witness my final sword strike! My strongest sword strike!"

Ajax the Great held his hand blade horizontally in front of his chest, quickly gathering his cosmic power within it, releasing an increasingly powerful pressure.

"I also have a sword technique I'd like you to appraise!"

"This is what I learned after my last battle with Thanatos, the God of Death!"

"I'll use it to settle this score with you!"

El Cid also ignited his cosmos intensely and concentrated his power on his injured right arm, releasing a sharp aura that was in no way inferior to his opponent's.

His limited mobility, coupled with his injury, would further highlight this weakness, making him unsuitable for a prolonged battle. Therefore, he planned to launch a full-scale attack to decide the outcome.

Soon, the two of them accumulated a powerful aura, and their sharp inner universe energy shot straight into the sky, tearing open two huge holes in the clouds that were visible to the naked eye.

Even the originally stable spatial barriers began to show fine cracks around them.

No, it's less of a crack and more of a sword mark.
