The Warrior of Love

Rumbling--

What caught his eye was a battleship that had just exploded, one of the five he had sent to delay time.

"too fast!"

Who could possess such overwhelming power that could severely damage his flagship and completely destroy one of the warships in a single blow?

Since the war began, Odysseus' heart, which had always been as calm as an iceberg, finally revealed a moment of confusion and puzzlement.

But he soon solved the puzzle, because a figure appeared on the top of the silent warship, with flames dancing wildly behind him, and the man's face was hidden in the shadow... no, it was the fur of a beast!

"Hercules!"

Odysseus secretly clenched his fists and rarely lost his composure.

"He's still alive... Even Artemis's attack can't kill him?"

Hercules looked at Odysseus across the flames and the sea, and suddenly smiled.

"Zheng!"

The translucent sword pressure split the sea surface, and Hercules split the burning warship under his feet into two.

"rise!"

He exhaled, his heart beating strongly, and waves of magic power burst out continuously, all of which were poured into his own treasure by Hercules.

[Twelve Trials o Hydra]!

Roar! !

A terrifying roar came from the deep sea, followed by a huge figure slowly emerging.

Hercules' first treasure is to summon the twelve trials he has experienced in the form of weapons, but the trial of the "Hydra" directly summons the mythical beast, because in Hercules' eyes this is a "weapon."

"Roar!"

The nine-headed dragon snake revealed its majestic figure, and its powerful tail casually wrapped around half of the hull. Then, as if catching and throwing a small rubber ball, it easily lifted the boat out of the water and swung it violently.

hum!hum!hum!

The most exaggerated "cannonball" flew towards Odysseus' flagship.

"little tricks!"

Odysseus raised his hand, and a crimson shield flashed by. The "cannonball" that made a terrifying whistling sound suddenly disintegrated under the powerful pressure!

Chapter 1077: Cerberus, the Guardian of Hell

"Come on! Medea, show us your true abilities!"

"Stop ordering me around!"

The Argo hoisted its sails and headed towards Odysseus's huge fleet at a speed unimaginable for an old-fashioned sailing ship.

Jason, who had exchanged intelligence with Hercules, knew very well that weapons like the Luna Railgun, which could destroy a small island, were simply not something the Argo could withstand.

Therefore, the best strategy is to rush into the enemy's camp and blend in with them before the railgun falls, making the enemy hesitant to act rashly.

Although it would be difficult, Jason was one of the best strategists and captains in all of Greece, and was no less capable than Odysseus. He was confident that he could pass through the opponent's sloppy array!

"The enemy's flagship is in your hands, Hercules!"

Decapitation tactics!

This was the choice made by Jason and his Greek followers.

It seems that just five ships are not enough to stop the enemy - this thought flashed through Odysseus' mind.

The iron-clad commander gave orders, and the entire fleet was like a giant with its arms outstretched, splitting into two forces on the left and right, each to fight against Drake's fleet and the Argo that had broken into the battlefield.

Apart from that, his eyes were fixed on Hercules standing on the head of the Hydra. Now the crown archer had put on his iconic lion skin.

"If it was Hercules, then the snake he summoned... even if it was me, I would be worse off than dead if I were contaminated by Hydra's poison."

Odysseus, who was cautious by nature, had no intention of leading his flagship to meet the enemy. He had more appropriate means to deal with this monster that was powerful enough to kill gods.

"Get ready to release the vicious dog! Also, apply for permission to activate the annihilation-type floating railgun "Artemis"!"

As Odysseus made his decision, the flagship under his feet suddenly opened its cabin, revealing an internal structure that looked like a hangar. A fierce aura emanated from it, and a red gaze was captivating.

"Ow!"

An angry figure wrapped in flames rushed out explosively, running across the sea with the momentum of a battering ram. The scorching flames evaporated the sea water and stirred up a large amount of white mist along the way, while its hideous figure was looming in it, like a mechanical monster born by devouring steam.

"Hercules!" Jason discovered that the monster was heading straight for the Hydra and his best friend. Although he had absolute confidence in Hercules, he still couldn't help but shout out.

Of course, the Argo can do more than just provide support. Circe, who has always been alert to the enemy's movements, waved her staff without saying a word, and cast a magical light.

"call!"

The strong wind brought up a large amount of sea water, like a tornado with life, and directly hit the hideous creature wrapped in flames and steam.

Then, as if a bomb had exploded, the flames exploded with even greater violence, devouring the waterspout. The steam that shot straight into the sky was as spectacular as the crater of an erupting volcano.

"No use?!" Circe opened her eyes wide, "Is there any "anti-magic power"? "

The monster didn't care what Circe thought. It took advantage of the impact of the explosion and almost closed the distance in an instant, attacking the Hydra and Hercules.

The long tail whistled over and swiftly wrapped around the monster.

call!

Suddenly, the monster's body and head separated, and the body entangled by the Hydra turned into a ball of fire and suddenly exploded, instantly engulfing half of the Hydra's body.

Even in the vast ocean, the power of this flame did not diminish in the slightest. It could even burn directly on the water. Even the scales of the Hydra could not block this terrifying high temperature.

The separated head was even faster. Although it had no body, it was moving forward like a missile, relying on the flames it ejected. It dodged several bites from Hydra's heads one after another, and rushed to the highest point like a sharp arrow, breaking through all the fog and opening its bloody mouth towards Hercules.

"Roar!"

It was Cerberus, the three-headed demon dog from hell!

Not to mention three heads, even if it only had one, it could swallow Hercules whole!

The man raised his head. The scorching flames were licking his skin. The sharp fangs were within reach. The sulfur-like breath made him feel as if he had returned to hell.

Then, the eyes covered by the lion skin revealed a hint of sharpness——

"Oh!"

The man spread his hands and pressed against the upper and lower jaws of the demon dog. His muscles tensed instantly, not only to resist, but also to pull hard towards the sky and the earth!

The divine power that was enough to hold up the sky forcibly tore the demon dog's big mouth apart, and countless blood splashed like fuel, causing the temperature in the air to rise again.

"Roar!"

After a roar of pain, a deep stinging sensation came, and it turned out that Hercules' left hand was bitten hard by the head of another demon dog.

Those sharp teeth could even bite through steel, but they were helpless in the face of Hercules' muscles. They pierced the skin but could not hurt the bones protected by the tangled muscles. But even so, it restricted the enemy's movements!

"Ow!"

The remaining head opened its mouth wide and bit directly towards Hercules, as if it wanted to swallow his upper body!

Hercules showed no fear in the face of danger. He pulled hard on his bitten left hand. The demon dog's teeth tore his skin, but the man ignored the pain. He used both hands to exert force and turned around suddenly, throwing the demon dog, which was much bigger than him, away!

Bang!

The three-headed demon dog was smashed into the sea, stirring up layers of giant wolves, and at the same time a large amount of steam burst out to cover its body.

call!

Hercules did not stay where he was, but jumped down almost at the same time as he threw the demon dog out, rushing into the oncoming steam.

He had lost his vision, but his wild instincts and extremely rich combat experience told him what to do.

The broken sword had turned into a long chain at some point, and in the great hero's hand it was like a dragon, sweeping through the fog like a whip, and entangled the demon dog with incredible precision. The three heads were tied together, and although it had no body and looked easy to break free, it just stood there as if in a daze.

——「Demon Dog Binding」

A Noble Phantasm of the same type as the Nordic "Chain of Lies", it comes from Hercules' final trial, the journey to Hades to capture the three-headed dog.

"Ahhh!"

Riding on the demon dog's head, Hercules pulled the chain fiercely, squeezing the three dog heads together, and the demon dog's hard skull immediately made a teeth-grinding squeak.

Ka!

There was another crisp explosion, and the facial features of the demon dog were completely squeezed together. The ferocious monster looked like a pool of rotten meat. It finally lost the ability to resist and fell down weakly.

"Hercules indeed!"

Seeing this scene, Jason slammed the side of the ship hard, feeling inexplicably excited, but then he immediately had a bad premonition.

"No... The enemy knew it was Hercules, but still released the three-headed dog... Get out of the way, Hercules!"

However, it was too late. Odysseus, who was also watching the battlefield, calmly raised his finger.

boom! !

Magical power far exceeding the level of anti-city treasures exploded in an instant, and the three-headed demon dog turned into a torrent of fire covering the sea surface, swallowing up Hercules and the Hydra!

Chapter 1078: Odysseus in Trouble

"call!"

The strong wind pressure caused waves, and the surging sea of ​​fire was suddenly split into two. In the dazzling sun flames, the figure of Hercules brandishing a sword appeared, and his strong muscles showed a kind of static violence, which was the beauty of strength that even statues could not reproduce.

The Hydra was still burning with flames. It rolled and struggled frantically on the sea, but could not put out the fire. Finally, under the command of Hercules, it rushed into the Atlantis fleet in a burning state.

The eternal flame, combined with Hydra's huge body and the poisonous blood flowing out after being injured, immediately caused great chaos to the fleet. The Hydra actually held back the fleet on its own, and even Odysseus couldn't do anything about it for a while.

After all, this thing has extremely strong vitality. Even if you use the main gun to bombard it, it will take two or three waves to destroy it.

"call……"

A golden flash flashed in his eyes, and Hercules took a deep breath. The hot air penetrated into his chest, making his blood boil.

"What a close call... If I hadn't used my Noble Phantasm in time to dive into the deep sea, I would have been seriously injured by an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm at such a close distance."

He was wearing a pair of exquisite bronze boots, with magical light flowing slowly on them. It was the "Hunting Wind" that had saved him just now.

The prototype of this treasure is the golden-horned stag in the Twelve Trials. It can provide super speed and explosive power. It also has the blessing of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, which increases a certain degree of agility.

If he had not sensed the danger in advance and activated his treasure first, he would have suffered a great loss this time.

[Be careful, Hercules, Odysseus has found a hole in the lion's skin.]

Jiang Liu's voice rang in his heart, and the great hero nodded in agreement.

No matter which world it is, Type-Moon, God Slayer, Box Garden... Leo is always the symbol of Hercules.

Hercules's feat of strangling a giant lion with his bare hands has been considered one of the most heroic deeds that represents "strength" since ancient times.

(A certain red tyrant seems to have imitated Hercules...)

The original form of Leo is the Nemean lion with invulnerable fur. No weapon can penetrate its defense (Hercules strangled it and then cut its fur with its own claws).

Thus, the conceptual Noble Phantasm "Lion Skin" was born. Wearing it, Hercules can be immune to all damage from swords and sharp blades. In the state of the Grand Spiritual Base, it can even be extended to "all weapons."

However, if it is an attack like the three-headed dog's self-destruction, it is indeed not considered a "weapon".

only……

"He should think I'm dead, right?" Hercules looked at Odysseus strangely. "The whole island disappeared at that time, and he couldn't sense my magic reaction... In his eyes, I should have been dead. But even so, did he prepare a plan against me?"

[What a watertight man. ]

Is this commander too cautious? !

Just because he thought, "Maybe I'll encounter a similar opponent in the future," he made a special battle plan and specially modified a Cerberus?

"I'm beginning to wonder who his corresponding hero is in pan-human history. If he's a Greek hero, then he might be someone I know."

Hercules put away the chain in his hand, and with a flash of spiritual light, it turned into a very exaggerated bronze battle axe, as if it was directly cast from the skull of a beast. For ordinary people, it is a two-handed axe, but Hercules can hold it with one hand.

There was a pattern of an angry wild boar on the axe blade, and the fangs on the pattern actually extended from the axe to form two sharp curved hooks.

This is another treasure from the "Twelve Trials", a "wild boar" with great destructive power and impact force... Coincidentally, it was also once a sacrifice to the Moon Goddess.

Although his job title is "Archer" and his symbol in mythology is a club, he usually wears a dagger on his waist, but this does not prevent him from using a battle axe skillfully.

The various martial arts he learned from Chiron were not just for fun!
