Although his night vision was strong, it was still not as clear as during the day.
However, Baiqi immediately noticed that Youli was acting strangely.
"Ten Thousand Mile Valley, are you alright? What did Athena do to you?”
"What did I do? It's not like that. I was slightly affected because I stayed near Athena's Gorgon. Please be careful, Athena is no longer the Athena of the past…"
Yuri kept coughing.
She looked very worried and coughed very badly.
Bai Qi approached her and used his hand to caress her back. However, there were no signs of improvement.
"Ah, I'll tell you. That witch was standing near me, so she was blown by my wind of death. If he left it like this, he would definitely die. Just like you did before."
Athena looked at Yuri as if nothing had happened and explained as if she was talking about someone else.
His opponent was a god.
Even though their bodies were very similar to humans, they were completely different in terms of spirit and ethics. They couldn't be measured by human standards, although they knew this very well.
"…Erika, can you cure this?”
"No, I'm not omnipotent to that extent. Please use the sword. If that was the case, Athena's curse should be able to cut through it.”
He asked Erika who was standing behind him and got such a simple answer.
Baiqi immediately held Yuri's shoulder.
So slender.
Although Erika was so luxurious, she was a female knight who hid a very strong consciousness.
This girl was as slender as she looked. Apart from her witch abilities, she was just an ordinary girl. Baiqi was extremely angry at himself and Athena for making her shoulder such a burden.
"Bai Qi, what are you planning to do?”
As if to calm Youli who was looking at him uneasily, Baiqi stroked her back.
The golden sword flashed in his heart as he began to chant the holy sentence.
"…With my ability to speak, show the world's righteousness! These curses were powerful and eloquent. It was because of its strength that it was invincible. It was precisely because of its strength that it could heal all things.”
The spirit of the sword.
She waved her golden sword, and Athena's divine power that was eroding the laws of nature was immediately cut off. That way, he wouldn't have to worry.
"Hmm?"
The goddess, who was watching the development of the matter in boredom, suddenly frowned.
Bai Qi stared at her beauty and asked firmly.
"Hey, let me confirm one last time. If you go back without doing anything, I think I'll let you go. So, do you have any thoughts of doing so?”
"Don't say such disappointing words. I've already retrieved the ancient trinity ability. At least play with me for now.”
He did not expect Athena to say such words like a child who was throwing a tantrum.
He actually ignored humans to this extent.
At this moment, Baiqi made up his mind. So be it.
"Oh, I don't know why I feel that you seem a little angry. How about it, Shiki Krushanagi? It should be enough to make me happy for a while, right? Earlier, I had a slight advantage over you with my strategy. Now, let's compete with martial arts.”
Athena had just almost killed Yuri, and now she was challenging him like a toy.
To Athena, humans were like ants under her feet. Whether she wanted to live or die was a piece of cake for her.
"…Bai Qi."
Noticing Youli's soft voice, Baiqi's hand that was holding her shoulder tightened.
He had caused her so much trouble because of him. I will pay Athena back several times over for this girl.
"Rest well in the Ten Thousand Mile Valley. Leave the matter of dealing with that goddess to me.”
"Um…I'm sorry, I underestimated him. I think you're a Campione but not reliable enough and not strong enough-"
"No, it's just as you said. I didn't see wrongly at all."
"No."
A smile appeared on his face as he shook his head.
This was the first time he saw her gentle smile.
It was as faint as the cherry blossoms, very lovable. Bai Qi could not help but feel tempted.
"You really rushed over when I was in danger. Well, although it was you who brought the gods here to riot, you took the initiative to clean up, so my opinion of you has changed a little. -- It's true!"
"…This statement doesn't make people think that you've changed your mind.”
"Is that so? In that case, I'll use a better way to praise you in the future. Now, please do your best. Will it work?"
Facing the gentle smile of the Ten Thousand Mile Valley, Bai Qi stood up.
He said to Erika behind him.
"I'll leave the Ten Thousand Mile Valley to you. Betting your pride, you have to protect this girl.”
"As the Holy Decree says, my King. You've finally taken off your fake peacemaker mask.”
After understanding his thoughts, Erika immediately responded to him.
As expected of a Scarlet Demon. If she was said to be the king of Go, then she was the unstoppable knight, or the queen.
"Don't add the word fake. I'm a true pacifist. However, he wasn't someone who could watch his companion get beaten up and remain silent. And bring Athena down here. He was only returning her the debt of the Ten Thousand Mile Valley twice as much.”
"This is my Bai Qi. Then, this was the blessing before victory.”
Suddenly, Erika walked to his side.
She hugged Bai Qi's face and pressed her lips against Bai Qi's. It was a short but passionate kiss.
Athena's knowledge was flowing in.
He had completely mastered the knowledge of the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle, the Mother Goddess of Snakes and Owl. At this moment, the 'sword' that was sleeping in Bai Qi's body had already gained its full power.
"Pray for your victory. Please knock her down, knock down that disobedient Athena!”
What did he do all of a sudden?
Even though he wanted to complain, a sinister smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
To be honest, this gift was exactly what he wanted.
This way, he could fight Athena at 100% of his strength. No matter what, the enemy was the goddess who claimed to be the strongest in Europe, Africa, and the East!
Bai Qi, who had quieted down, shouted at Athena.
"I'll respond to your request! I want you to stop immediately from this country. After you lose to me, you can roll up your tail and run away!”
"Alright! Let's fight it out here, God Slayer!”
Athena shouted happily and waved her arm.
Immediately, dozens of owl feathers flew over from the depths of the darkness.
Not only that. Dozens of snakes attacked.
Owls were birds of prey, so they had sharp claws and beaks. Even snakes were slightly longer than five to six meters. At first glance, one could only tell that they were poisonous snakes. They all had colorful scales.
First, change the venue.
Bai Qi quickly thought of this and started running in order to keep a distance from Athena.
There was a faint smell of seawater.
The surrounding buildings were eye-catching.
Thanks to these things, he was able to confirm where he was.
He found a good place on the map in his mind and ran towards that target.
Then, the flock of birds and snakes that were chasing them changed their direction, and the goddess herself slowly walked in that direction.
"Not bad, Yuri of the Ten-Thousand Miles Valley. Thanks to you, the man who can't be boiled is finally starting to get serious.”
Leaving her behind, Erika smiled at the girl in the witch's dress.
Then, he took off his sweater and draped it over her shoulders.
However, Yuri didn't relax. Instead, she stared at Erika.
"What, what was that just now? You're so shameless and despicable…"
The calm expression that Baiqi had seen before suddenly turned into an angry expression.
She was angrily complaining about what had just happened.
Understanding the reason why Yuri was upset, Erika tilted her head slightly.
"What's indecent?"
"That's it! That…when he said goodbye to Baiqi, it was against public order and morals. He should not have done that in front of everyone!”
"Are you talking about the kiss? Ah, ah, he wanted to make it a little longer, but he had no choice. There wasn't enough time, and it had been a long time since he had seen Bai Qi fight for real.”
In order to convey the meaning of this sentence, Elektra gritted her teeth and answered.
"Just wait and see. The Bai Qi who had become like that would use any method he could to defeat Athena.”
To Yuri, who didn't know why she was thanked, Erika smiled gently.
In the end, when it came to how to make a move, he basically still ran.
Bai Qi, who was being chased by a large group of owls and snakes, kept thinking.
Although he had encountered many dangers, compared to Valerslana's authority, he was most familiar with his two legs.
Whether it was fighting or running, if he didn't run, he couldn't start anything.
It was because of this sense of reality that he still insisted on running every day after giving up baseball.
Although it was annoying, he had been involved in this kind of troublesome matter too many times, so he could not help but start to train his physical strength. In fact, if he didn't train every day, he wouldn't have been able to run for so long.
Even so.
To be able to dodge all the owls and snakes that came at him like lightning, he still didn't have the speed to surpass humans.
Moreover, the number had increased at some point in time.
Out of nowhere, the owls and snakes had become an army of more than 100.
"All evil things, fear me! Those who have power and those who are unjust cannot punish me. -- I am the strongest, the one who repels all obstacles.”
Bai Qi chanted a spell, and a golden light flashed.
Just like that, the heads and bodies of Athena's servants were cut off, and they were reduced to dust.
Probably because they were not normal creatures, not a single corpse was left behind.
"Whoa…as expected, there's a hidden magical weapon. It could slice and cut-it should be a sword. The spirit of the sword was really interesting.”
Athena's relaxed voice drifted from behind.
After saying that, he realized that this sword was a troublesome thing.
"In that case, I will play with you for a while longer. -- Although it wasn't like the city that was made of stone in the past, where I couldn't fully utilize my power, this little trick was still possible. Watch!"
"... You can't be like this!!"
Bai Qi, who suddenly turned around, was stunned by the scene behind him.
At Athena's feet.
The hard concrete road bulged greatly, and the goddess on it slowly became like a scythe.
Yes, it was a cold object formed by sand and stone, like a huge snake head looking down from a high place.
By the time he noticed it, the concrete snake had already been completed in less than ten seconds.
It was about 20 to 30 meters long.
The silver-haired Athena was standing straight on the snake's head.
Was this shen power? Or was his sense of balance better? In such an unstable place, he could actually stand elegantly and look at the ground.
"Quick, my claws. Quickly crush the Godslayer!"
The snake head that Athena was standing on was already much higher than the elevated highway in the capital.
"Damn it! How dare you act so recklessly!"
After the snake was born, the road became very miserable.
The concrete was pulled up from the roots, like the water in a river being drained, turning into a long ditch.
How much time and money would it take to make that road pass again!
Bai Qi ran in a daze.
They were almost there.
Soon, they would be able to reach a completely deserted place.
There were villas and hotels nearby, so they were worried that the surroundings would be affected.
After crossing Shirokawa River, he saw a dense forest with big trees. It should not be owned by the city. The green forest was on his right.
This was Baiqi's destination.
