The Warrior of Love

That was the fusion of the "white horse" and the golden sword, and what Jiang Liu wanted to create at this time was even better than that.

What flashed through his memory next was the death battle in the Temple of Time, the infinite light covering the world, and the huge halo spanning the starry sky...

"United as one!"

The sky suddenly dimmed, and the world seemed to be pulled into the twilight of the gods, with an aura of destruction and decay descending upon it.

The immortal hero stood on the ground, looking up at the dim sky. He saw that the sky, which was daytime just now, was now full of stars, with twinkling stars shining on the other side.

One, two, three... No!

Those were not real stars, but golden swords hanging in the sky!

All I saw were shining sharp blades scattered all over the place, and I couldn't tell how many there were. But when they moved, it was as if the stars in the sky were slowly rotating, and at the center of the world was Jiang Liu, holding the girl in one hand.

coming soon!

Bartras could not suppress the joy and pride rising in his heart. The dark magic sword in his hand once again turned into a chaotic shadow, and he increased the amount of magic power injected, causing the chaotic chaos to almost submerge the earth.

“Come on, burn your blood and fight with all your might! God-killing Demon King, if you can kill me then give it a try, but you’ll have to risk your life too!”

The impact of chaos that destroyed everything connected the heaven and the earth. The vengeful God of Steel burned out all his divine power and vowed to shatter the sky!

Jiang Liu, standing tall above the sky, waved his arm, and star trails formed by thousands of golden swords gathered into a countertide that struck down towards the darkness.

"Dzus qara (Revenge of the God's Destruction)!"

"Limited Expansion - Infinite Light o Myth Burning Style!"

boom! !

It was as if the heaven and earth opened up again, and the torrent of destruction swept away everything in the universe, even shattering the space!

After a confrontation that felt extremely long but only lasted for a moment in reality, thousands of beams of light broke through the darkness, engulfing the earth and the immortal hero...

Chapter 720: Power [Burning Steel]!

Bartras has disappeared and returned to the mythical realm of immortality. In the huge crater that was bombarded, a red magic sword is stuck at the bottom, surrounded by charred land.

Jiang Liu fell to the ground and let go of Lily. He felt weak all over and almost fell to the ground, but he managed to keep his balance.

The Earth Messenger's blessing began to work, and a steady stream of vital energy emerged from underground and began to fill Jiang Liu's weak inside. Although it was not much, it was enough for him to move freely.

"call……"

Letting out a long breath, Jiang Liu cast his gaze towards the bottom of the crater, focusing on the magic sword with a look of regret.

Bartras is truly a formidable foe. In terms of the diversity of his abilities, both Veleslana and Hercules are better than him, but among all the Steel Heroes he has encountered so far, he is the most tenacious.

Immortality plus magic sword - this combination of abilities that almost every "Steel" possesses is simple yet extremely powerful, and is best demonstrated in Bartras.

All I can say is that it is worthy of being the prototype of many mythological characters, and is truly the "source of steel".

Walking into the bottom of the crater, ignoring the scorching magma, Jiang Liu came to the front of the magic sword.

This sword is different from the "Black God" in Bartras's hand. The red iron-like sword body is straight and slender, a standard knight's sword style, but the length is a little bit unusual, and the guard and the hilt are in a cross shape. In fact, it is similar to the "Barumunk" of the heroic spirit Siegfried in Jiang Liu's impression.

But one is cold white steel, and the other is scorching red iron.

And this is Jiang Liu’s spoils of war—the new power usurped from Bartras.

He stretched out his hand and grasped the magic sword. A flash of fire ignited in his hand. The red iron turned into flowing fire in the air waves and sank into Jiang Liu's palm. A new pattern also appeared on the pages of the Original Book of All Things, which was the shape of a greatsword.

[Scorching Steel]

Introduction: The magic sword that kills gods has annihilated one third of the heavenly army. Even the spokesperson of the Most High is afraid of it.

Only when holding the sword, he gains the blessing of "immortality", all-round defense, even the internal organs are protected, and there is no fatal weakness.

In addition, it has extremely high durability against light and heat attacks. If it is injured by light and heat attacks but survives, its ability value will be improved after the injury is recovered.

When using the magic sword against an enemy, if the enemy is a spirit and there are multiple spirits, the sword's slashing power will be tripled.

Killing a god with the magic sword will restore your own physical strength and temporarily increase your ability value.

The ability value increase can be stacked, up to three times.

·Only when holding a sword, you have the privilege of revenge against "enemies", ignoring the original unfavorable affinity and fixing the "affinity advantage".

(Note: The increase in the magic sword's own slashing power and the increase in the ability value of the main body are calculated separately and will not cover each other.

And it is not addition but multiplication. In other words, when fighting against multiple gods, if the conditions for a massive kill are met, the power of the slash can be increased by up to nine times.

If one of them happens to be your "enemy", you will receive additional damage bonus.)

[Negative effect: The magic sword itself carries the "blessing" of frenzy, but since it is not a curse, it cannot be immuned by resistance.

The longer one holds the sword, the greater the increase in strength, and the more exaggerated the mental burden becomes, enough to cause a god to be infected by madness.

And holding this sword will attract the natural disgust of some gods, and this disgust cannot be offset by other protections. 】

"Could it be that the hero was defeated?"

Her body shook slightly, and after a long moment of silence, Guinevere muttered to herself in disbelief.

Athena, who was resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and glanced at her lightly. Although she didn't say anything, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The blonde girl took a deep breath. No matter how shocking this fact was, she had no choice but to accept it. The aura of the Steel Hero had indeed disappeared. The final winner was the God-Slaying Demon King.

This was undoubtedly extremely bad news for her.

The best outcome would naturally be that both Bartras and Jiang Liu would suffer losses, so that she would have enough room to operate and take advantage of the chaos.

If Bartras killed Jiang Liu, he would certainly have consumed a lot of energy. If he could be killed and enslaved with the divine tool, the gains would completely offset the loss of Lancelot becoming a disobedient god.

But now Jiang Liu won! And he won thoroughly, killing Bartras directly!

Guinevere was imprisoned here by Athena from beginning to end. She had no chance to get close to the battlefield and could not use the divine tools. Under the nose of the goddess of wisdom, it was difficult for her to do anything, so she gained nothing.

Now that Jiang Liu has gained new powers, even if he was seriously injured in the battle, he is still a great God Slayer and should not be underestimated. Moreover, there is Athena...

"no!"

Guinevere's eyes flashed with determination: "I can't just sit there and wait for death. Uncle, please help me!"

【well……】

A sigh was heard from the void, and then the space around Guinevere began to fluctuate, and a figure riding a white horse was about to jump out.

Athena also opened her eyes and looked coldly at the shadows of Guinevere and Lancelot.

The witch king finally decided to take a gamble!

It seems that she would rather let Lancelot fall into a disobedient god than hand over the Holy Grail!

[Goddess of wisdom, Queen of the ancient times, if you can let us leave now, neither you nor I will suffer any loss. This is the best solution.]

Before taking that step, Lancelot seemed to want to make some rescue efforts.

[You know, you are not in your prime now. How much strength do you have left after being bound by the devil? Maybe the title of queen is not so solid anymore?

So, do you have the confidence to fight with a battle-hardened "Steel" in such a close distance? 】

"For a Steel, you talk a lot of crap!"

Athena sneered, "Is it because you are not controlled by madness? So you have more reason. But it seems that your wisdom has not increased because of this. You actually said such stupid things."

[Is there no room left? ]

“Not since the beginning!”

Athena stretched out her hand and summoned a golden sickle, from the snake-mouth-shaped handle spewed out a slender and sharp sickle blade.

"Not to mention that as a dependent, I need to be responsible for the orders of that man. From my personal opinion, I hate you!"

【There is nothing we can do about it! 】

hum! !

A violent wave of cursed power distorted the space, and a dazzling light shone from the cracks in the void. A majestic white horse leaped out, and a knight wearing heavy armor, whose face could not be seen clearly, tightened the reins.

"My beloved daughter, although I have regained my fighting spirit and madness, I need a new weapon to face the future battles!"

The knight said:

"Bring out my Lord's sword!"

Chapter 721: The Resurrected Divine Sword

"But uncle, the king's sword has decayed and has not yet been reborn."

Guinevere hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I am powerless to intervene in the battle between you and Lady Athena."

The Knight on the White Horse, whose expression was hidden by the visor, said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, I——"

"That's too much of a distraction!"

Before they could finish their conversation, Athena had already swung her sickle at Lancelot.

"I won't give you time to play tricks!"

The scythe, as agile and swift as a venomous snake, drew an unpredictable trajectory, but its target was not Lancelot himself, but the majestic warhorse under his crotch.

Clang!

There was a flash of white light, and a long steel spear appeared in Lancelot's hand, blocking Athena's attack. The collision of the two weapons sparked sparks, causing the warhorse to neigh loudly, and it actually jumped up and trampled heavily on Athena.

"Ok?"

The eyes of the goddess of wisdom narrowed. This warhorse could not be said to be a powerful divine beast, and the impact force of its trampling posed no threat to the gods.

But Athena retreated without hesitation and avoided the iron hoof of the warhorse.

呲!

Then a flash of light was seen passing by, and a little later the sound of breaking wind was heard - that was Lancelot's thrust.

If she had not retreated but fought hard, she would probably have been stabbed by Lancelot.

"This martial art is indeed "steel"."

Athena swung her scythe, her posture majestic and holy, and all the heroic spirit of a Valkyrie was revealed.

"But as a 'steel' you are protecting the ancestor of the gods? Humph, birds of a feather flock together."

“Indeed, Steel and the goddesses are natural enemies. Although he would marry them or take them as lovers, they are ultimately opposing identities.

The reason why I was able to suppress my nature and silently protect the "Princess" all this time is because I never betrayed the myth and maintained the posture of a guardian knight. "

The Knight of the White Horse said: "However, under the oppression of you and the King, I had no choice but to abandon this identity and regain my nature as the Steel of Refusal."

"Guardian Knight... I see. Your name is Lancelot?"

Since there is Guinevere and the Holy Grail, and the so-called "king" is still asleep, the knight's true name is of course Lancelot.

This is easy to guess and is not a puzzle at all for Athena, but precisely because it is so simple, the goddess of wisdom confirmed that it is just a "smoke screen".

"The final king is not Arthur!" Athena said with certainty.

Compared with various mythological systems, the legends of the Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur cannot be said to be "ancient" and can even be considered relatively "new".

The time Athena herself spent wandering and sleeping on the earth is longer than the time "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" was circulated.

In fact, in the world of "God Slayer", the legend of King Arthur was actually made up by the God-Ancestor Guinevere, who attempted to create a myth based on the divinity of the Last King and summon the "king" she served with a new vest.

This idea is not wrong. After all, there are many mythological characters who have vests, and it is not impossible for the Last King to come with this opportunity.

——But she failed in the end.

What was summoned was not the Last King, but the insane King Arthur...

Guinevere herself couldn't figure out who King Arthur was, or which mythological hero he was connected to...but he was not the Last King.

After all, there is too much uncertainty when it comes to artificially creating myths, and no one can control the imagination of all mankind.

Athena sleeps most of the time and doesn't know the inside story of the King Arthur legend, but this doesn't prevent her from seeing through the Witch King's tricks.

"Your names aren't Guinevere and Lancelot either! Haha... Even though you use the names of Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot to restrain yourself, it doesn't change the fact that you are just a "maid."

Athena sneered mercilessly: "I was originally puzzled by your name, but now I understand - this is just your self-consolation.
