Section V
At this moment, a huge splash suddenly appeared in the thick and dark blood river. A blurry figure could be vaguely seen in the water.
"Saga, this is my final plan…"
Before Aiolos could finish speaking, Grati, who was under the black ship, let out a sorrowful cry that was filled with fear and sorrow.
The blurry figure was getting closer and closer. It seemed to be floating. Gradually, it revealed its head. Its head was not scary because it was a human face, a face of an upright person. At first glance, it made people feel at ease and reliable. However, this sense of security and reliability only lasted for a moment, because its body was also revealed. It was actually a snake's body! Its ribs, back, and chest were covered with strange circles and patterns. Its entire tail was twisting in the air, and the poisonous fork was raised up like a scorpion.
"Glion, the keeper of the Blood Waterfall?”
"Yes, this monster is Killion, the legendary King of Spain. According to medieval legends, he lured foreigners into his power and then secretly killed them, so he became the guardian of the deceiver in hell. According to Dante's records, it was the river monster of the Blood Waterfall. Actually…"
Before Aiolos could finish speaking, Glion let out a wild howl. His originally kind-hearted face suddenly became extremely ferocious, just like Aiolos's face just now. Its entire body crashed into the black ship. The scorpion tail hit the side of the ship heavily, and the entire ship broke into two on the spot. Grady let out another sorrowful cry and disappeared with a long trail of blood.
"Actually, it is the most terrifying creature on the Blood Waterfall!”
Saga frowned slightly and shot out brilliant beams of light. However, when these beams of light landed on the snake's body, they were all reflected. Aiolos shook his head. Hades had personally carved an incantation on Glion's body, and any attack would be deflected.”
He was right. The strange circles and patterns on Glion's body emitted a black light, like a sacred defensive barrier. It seemed like he was not satisfied with Saga's attack. Glion was getting angrier. Saga could clearly see its scorpion tail sweeping over, but for some reason, he couldn't dodge it. His body was hit hard, and blood splattered everywhere. He suddenly lost all his strength and fell heavily on the black ship.
The blood river in front of him fell forward crazily, and the sound of the huge waterfall was like the roar of a beast. Under Glion's attacks, the entire black ship was disintegrating. The dragon bones, the side of the ship, the deck…sank into the blood river and turned into ashes…
Aiolos laughed out loud.”
However, Saga shook his head. He struggled and lifted Aiolos up without caring about the blood that was flowing out of his body.
"Saga, what are you doing?"
"If we have to die together, I'd rather live.”
The last piece of the deck sank into the water.
Saga fell into the river of blood. Glion happily opened his mouth and bit down on his body…Aiolos's body was thrown into the air and flew towards the shore…
At this moment, the sky of the Underworld suddenly lit up, and a huge meteor fell. That brilliant light and the heroic posture of the bow was the Golden Holy Garment of Sagittarius.
The golden arrow shot out with a brilliant light like the sun. Before the arrow reached, the brilliant light had melted the strange circles and patterns and pierced deep into Glion's body. It let out a scream and let go of Saga's body. However, countless rotten bloody hands suddenly reached out from the blood river and grabbed Saga's body tightly. His body continued to sink...
The Sagittarius Golden Holy Garment suddenly disintegrated and turned into the appearance of the Saint Seiya. And inside the Holy Garment, there was also Aiolos!
Aiolos, who was wearing a golden holy robe, flew up and collided with Aiolos, who was wearing a dark robe. They emitted an even more dazzling light and the two of them completely overlapped.
The blood river seemed to be afraid of something and suddenly split to the two sides. The rotting bloody hands also retreated to the two sides in fear. Aiolos jumped into the blood river and carried Saga.
"Thank you. Saga, you saved my body.”
"Aiolos, you…"
Without answering, Aiolos suddenly lifted Saga high up and threw him with all his might. Saga's body flew toward the seventh prison like a comet. But he sank into the water, and in an instant, his body was swallowed by Glion.
But at the last moment, Saga clearly saw: Aiolos had a gentle and hearty smile on his face.
'This is…'
A few tiny golden dots seeped into Saga's body.
This was Aiolos's last memory…
It was more painful than despair, more sorrowful than darkness. Thirteen years ago, when Aiolos realized that his heart had been occupied by hatred, he made a final struggle.
For three days, the sun was so sad that it refused to show its face, the stars were so afraid that they hid, and the righteous brave man was undergoing the most terrible test of his life. His heart and soul were torn into two. Justice and evil, kindness and hatred, were cruelly fighting in his heart.
His teeth were bleeding like a fountain, and his hair was pulled out in large patches. Fists that moved at the speed of light hit the body…torture could reduce hatred, and pain could wake him up. This was what Aiolos thought, so he desperately injured his body, leaving even more scars than when Asura killed him…
However, he was in so much pain and grief that his righteous spirit began to weaken. When Aiolos realized this, his entire body turned a terrifying blood-red color.
"Because of a single mistake, because I wanted to pursue greater power, I didn't expect this outcome. Brother, I…can't! I am the brother of Aeoria! I can't disappoint Aeoria. I don't want to become his true disgrace!”
"Athena, if I really am your holy warrior, please give me one last bit of power!”
At that moment, Aiolos's body emitted a brilliant golden light. Almost at the same time, the Sagittarius Golden Holy Garment hidden in Japan resonated. In the golden light and resonance, the Sagittarius Golden Holy Garment gradually changed shape. Its wings were retracted, and it turned into something in the shape of ancient armor.
In the final confrontation between good and evil, in order to prevent evil from controlling him, Aiolos was forced to turn most of his power into golden light and shoot it out of his body, injecting it into the Sagittarius Golden Holy Garment in Japan. As for the remaining body, it fused with the heart of hatred and put on a ferocious mask, becoming Kiruti...
Aiolos, what was injected into the Golden Holy Garment was not only your power, but also your righteous heart. The reason why the Sagittarius Holy Garment has its own will and powerful strength is because of your soul!
Thank you, Aiolos. You are much stronger than me. It was also a moment of error. You made the best choice at the last moment, while I cowardly walked down the path of evil...
Saga wiped away the tears in his eyes.
True light is not a time without darkness, but it is never covered by darkness. A true hero was not one who never had a humble sentiment, but one who would never be subdued by a humble sentiment.
Therefore, before you could defeat the enemy from the outside, you had to defeat the enemy from the inside. You don't have to be afraid of falling into depravity, as long as you can constantly extricate yourself and update yourself…
Even though you lost your physical body, you and the Sagittarius Holy Garment have stood up for the Goddess and the Bronze Warriors in times of danger and guided them to victory. Now, you are also guiding me! Aiolos, you are the true hero!
Aiolos, don't die! This Holy War is still waiting for you.
In the bloody battle of life and death, let me use battle to atone for my sins.
With a manly vow, Saga embarked on his journey to the seventh prison.
