The time came to early June 2014, less than three months left before Kido Saori’s birthday. For Kido Saori, who has now become the head of the Kido Group, the most difficult three years have been over.
Mitsumasa Kido passed away due to illness three years ago. Saori Kido, who was only 12 years old, was the sole heir of Mitsumasa Kido. It can be said that he was under a lot of pressure. In the end, it was a combination of many reasons that he was able to successfully inherit the Kido Group's industry. It can be completed next time.
This was due to both Kido Saori's own abilities and the help of Tatsumi as an old butler. However, from the first year when Kido Saori stumbled and took over the Kido Group amid everyone's doubts, to the second No one has doubted her abilities for years.
For Kido Saori, daily group affairs are not the life she wants. Most of the time, she just wants to treat herself as an ordinary female student.
It was another weekend afternoon. Under the leadership of the housekeeper Tatsumi, Saori came to the park that she still remembered clearly. It was here that Le Yuan once blocked Cerberus for him, and it was also here that Saori used Athena. Instinct made garlands of protection.
However, although it was said that only one garland was given to Le Yuan at the beginning, in fact, the garland made at the beginning was a pair, and the other one was kept by Shaori herself on her left hand.
Perhaps for ordinary children, their memories of their childhood are forgetful and vague, but Saori is completely different. Everything that happened to her can still be clearly remembered.
"Le Yuan... you will come back!"
Looking at this park that has not changed for several years, Saori couldn't help but recall the past days. Just when Saori was immersed in memories, her mind was shaken, and then she saw that the garland on her left wrist that had not changed for several years suddenly began to wither.
"Le Yuan!!"
Even Shazhi herself didn't know why she felt like this. When the wreath withered, she couldn't help but shout out. She was also affected by the changes that happened to the wreath on Le Yuan's right hand.
Perhaps Saori's ability as Athena has not been fully awakened, but she already has a strong ability in sensing. Even though he is separated from the human world and the underworld, he still feels that Le Yuan's condition is not very good.
On the other side, Le Yuan, who is in the underworld, has indeed reached the most critical moment. Although he still wants to continue practicing in this hell of ice for a while, after all, there are so many senior golden saints teaching him more than him alone in the holy world. Domain cultivation is much, much better.
But time waits for no one. This underworld is not a place for people to stay after all. Even Athena's garland can only protect him for more than two years. Now the wreath on his right hand only has sporadic power that may be destroyed at any time. If Le Yuan continues to stay in the underworld without overestimating his own capabilities, unless he breaks through to the eighth sense, he will not be able to use even one-tenth of his power. come out.
For Le Yuan, if he wanted to break through the defense of the underworld, he would inevitably have to fight against the underworld warriors. Even in full condition, Le Yuan did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to leave, let alone with less than one-tenth of his strength.
"Pegasus! Remember the promise you gave us, and protect Athena this time too!"
Former Pope Shion, who died at the hands of Saga fifteen years ago, said this. Not only him, but also many golden saints who maintained their souls were looking at Leyuan with the same passion.
"I will do my own thing well, and I will protect Shazhi! No matter whether she is Athena or not, this promise is still valid!" The protection Le Yuan said is for Shazhi in the human body. As for that The same cannot be said for Athena. Whether the other party is really good for mankind is still unknown.
Le Yuan, who was about to gather a breakthrough, suddenly heard something, and then said to the souls of Shion and Aiolos: "I will inevitably face Gemini Saga after I go back. Have you thought about what to do?" Have you dealt with him? His situation is very serious, it doesn’t look like a simple split personality... "
Aiolos on the side had not yet spoken, but Shion, as the former pope, seemed to be completely relieved and said: "If possible, please ask the goddess to save Saga's soul that fell into darkness. As the pope of the holy realm, I failed to notice in time, To guide the darkness in Saga’s heart, if she were a goddess, I think she would be able to do it... "
Compared with Shion's relief, Aiolos saw it more profoundly. During the night of rebellion fifteen years ago, he noticed something strange about the "Pope", but it was not until his death that he realized that the Pope was actually Saga pretending to be the Pope.
"There is something wrong with Saga's power... I didn't notice anything when I was alive, but after being imprisoned in the Ice Hell, I found that there was an aura of the underworld in Saga's body. Perhaps the reason why Saga fell into darkness was related to this. Related, if possible, you can check the connection..."
After receiving the two's instructions, Le Yuan calmed down and concentrated on his own small universe. Although Le Yuan's body functions were completely stagnant due to the ice in the Ice Hell, and the power of Athena's garland prevented Le Yuan's body from being eroded by the air of the underworld, after all, he has not moved for two and a half years, can he Fully exerting one's own strength is still a problem.
The small universe is activated... the sixth sense fully explodes... the seventh sense condenses... explodes!
In the dark and deep ice hell, a golden light shot out from under the ice like the sky, and with the appearance of the light, Le Yuan's figure stood on the ice.
Bang bang bang—
With a series of skeletal crackling sounds, Le Yuan's body, which had stopped growing in the past two years, became more mature in just three seconds as if on hormones. It took three seconds to complete more than two years of growth.
"Huh... As expected, the closer the body is to the real body, the more accustomed it becomes..." Le Yuan turned his head and looked at the vast ice hell, then locked in a direction and said, "The direction of the exit is changed over there. I hope it hasn't attracted the attention of the Underworld Warrior. , ran away..."
Without even having time to say hello to the many seniors buried under the glacier, Le Yuan immediately increased his speed to the limit. This underworld also has a barrier like the holy realm. In terms of hierarchy, Hades's status is not inferior to Athena, and the power of this barrier is naturally not weak.
In this barrier of Hades, the power of the saints will be limited to one tenth, unless they understand the eighth sense and break through the boundaries of life and death. Either it can only be blamed on the blessing power of the goddess, or the gift of an item like a garland, or the power of divine blood to water the holy clothes.
In addition to being limited in strength, both saints and underworld warriors are prohibited from flying or even traveling through the underworld. Therefore, this vast underworld is extremely difficult to traverse with only two legs.
Balendayin, the guard of the Heavenly Crying Star in the Eighth Prison, did not know whether he reported it to his superiors. Le Yuan did not feel his presence until he left the Eighth Prison.
In pursuit of victory, Le Yuan even trotted through the seventh prison, which was the largest in area, and then met the first guard he bumped into in the sixth prison - Gordon of Tianlao Star.
"I asked where the stench came from. It turned out to be Athena's saints who dared to come to the underworld..." Gordon then raised his right arm, pointed at Le Yuan's face and said, "... Let me, Tianlao Star, Gordon will take care of you!"
This is the most annoying situation for Le Yuan. Now he is in the stage of running for his life. Once he is entangled, he will easily fall into a tight siege. If it were an all-out war between the Holy Realm and the Underworld, Le Yuan wouldn't mind playing with the guy in front of him, but now...
"Ax Crush!"
Gordon's right hand struck down decisively at Le Yuan, who was also running towards him. At that moment, Gordon's right hand seemed to have turned into a mountain splitting ax, capable of chopping anything in front of him.
It is said that Tianlao Xing's right wrist contains the power of the Minotaur's Ax. With the Minotaur's Ax, he can even destroy the Golden Saint Cloth.
The attack of the Tenlao Star is similar to the Holy Sword of Capricorn in the Golden Saints, but its power and destructive power are superior. In a head-on confrontation, even the Holy Sword will have a hard time taking advantage.
And Tianlao Star Gordon has also been a pioneer since the age of mythology. The only person who can defeat him is anyone who can break his Minotaur Ax except for sneak attacks.
Tick tock—
A drop of blood fell on the ground from the sword in Gordon's right hand. That drop of blood came from Le Yuan. As the two of them passed each other, Gordon's unique move of Giant Ax Crush was avoided by Le Yuan. But in the end, he was hit by the strong wind, and Le Yuan's arm was cut open by this move.
"Hehe... It's very fast..." Gordon looked at the drop of blood belonging to Le Yuan on his right hand and smiled, but then his expression changed and he looked in the direction of his chest. Unexpectedly, a figure appeared on his chest. There was a bloody hole, and the heart was missing. "...Did you just...did you lose the Minotaur Ax?"
"The Minotaur Ax is indeed powerful, but the Holy Sword Excalibur is not a vegetarian..." Le Yuan's injured right arm has stopped bleeding at this moment, and his body's self-healing ability has stopped the injury. "The Ax of the Minotaur does have incomparable destructive power and is stronger than the Holy Sword, but after all, your body is still a human being and not the Ax of the Minotaur, so you are the loser. Not the Ax of the Minotaur!"
"...Is it, really? I'm so unwilling...!"
After a plop, after saying these words, Gordon fell to the ground, and it could be said that he would not rest in peace.
Le Yuan was able to win by surprise, using Capricorn's most powerful holy sword and Taurus' incredibly fast punching speed. Only someone like him who can take on the strengths of several families can achieve this.
But of course there is the most critical point, that is, Le Yuan dares to gamble with his own body. Even if an ordinary person is slightly injured, it will be fatal in this underworld. Only Le Yuan's body can continue to fight without worrying about such injuries. .
After solving Gordon on Tianlao Star, Le Yuan continued to move forward. This time he avoided several unnecessary enemies, which can be said to have maximized his concealment.
This kind of non-fighting was not broken until he entered the second prison, and his old acquaintance, the beast star Falao, bumped into him again.
