"Kusanagi Sora, are you still alive, no, have you been resurrected?"
With a queen-like arc of confidence and arrogance at the corner of her mouth, Athena spoke to Sora.
"Ah, didn't I say it? We would definitely meet again, Athena!"
Looking at this legendary goddess, who was completely different from the emotionless loli from before, embodying beauty, nobility, and holiness, a sharp glint flashed in Sora's eyes, and he also wore a wicked smile.
"Haha… Hahaha… Excellent, this is truly worthy of being my enemy, a person known as a Demon King!"
"So, are you, holding a sword, declaring war on me, who has recovered my ancient form? Very good, I, who have just recovered my power, am also feeling bored and want to find someone to fight against!"
Laughing charmingly, seeing Sora appear before her again, Athena seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. She had just been thinking of finding someone to test her strength, and unexpectedly, this guy had delivered himself to her doorstep!
"Hehe, that's pretty much how you can understand it. Although I've already decided to take you home and keep you, looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem likely that you'll obediently comply."
"Well, just right, you bullied my two Mikos before. Now, I'll beat you up first to make you, this arrogant Queen, behave, and also vent their anger!"
Pointing the golden sword in his hand at Athena, Sora spoke with boundless arrogance and dominance. Her beautiful eyes widened, and even Athena was greatly shaken, looking as if she had misheard.
"…"
"Kusanagi Sora, you are the most audacious and arrogant man I have seen in millions of years, very good! Very good! I have never wanted to immediately punish someone so much! Even if you have the authority to resurrect from the dead, this time I will not give you any chance!"
Finally recovering, Athena was almost amused by her anger. The soaring cold air and killing intent described how furious this Queen was at this moment.
Without any hesitation, Athena directly activated her ability, unfolding a deep, dark space of the underworld behind her. Immediately, hundreds of owls flew out from it, transforming into sharp blades formed by death energy and shooting towards Sora.
"Hehehe… Don't worry, Athena, you'll see much, much more in the future!"
Licking his lips, Sora wore a wicked smile. Looking at the overwhelming death blades whistling towards him, he showed no sign of backing down. He instantly unfolded the Golden Sword Domain, effortlessly swinging the golden sword in his hand and scattering all the death blades that approached him.
"This sword, is it the power of that Eastern War God? It's truly a defiled authority!"
Seeing Sora easily block her attack, and then looking at the world of swords covering the ground and sky around her, the wise Athena instantly recognized Sora's authority and the god he had slain. Her expression immediately became solemn and disgusted.
Verethragna was the War God of ancient Persia, a guardian who served the God of Light, "Mithra." Mithra was the embodiment of the sun, so Verethragna also had a connection with the sun, which made him an existence like a natural enemy to Athena, who was the ruler of the underworld and controlled darkness!
"Hehehe, you're the first one to say that my authority and power are defiled or something, Athena! Although I don't dislike your queenly arrogance and willfulness, it seems you really need to be disciplined!"
Without any politeness, Sora swung the golden sword and slashed at Athena. To conquer this arrogant, confident, and condescending Queen of the Sky, the best way was to use strength to beat her into submission first!
Clang!!!
Condensing a death scythe in front of her, it collided with the golden sword that Sora had slashed. Sparks flew, and there was a piercing clang of swords.
"Shameless fellow!"
Even Athena, as a queen, couldn't stand Sora's blatant teasing words. A faint blush couldn't help but appear on her originally cold and arrogant face, and her expression was one of shame and anger.
By the name of Athena, she swore that she would absolutely annihilate this evil god-slayer who dared to defile her sacred goddess name!
With the intention of disciplining the goddess and the goal of annihilating the other party, neither Sora nor Athena showed any politeness towards each other. On the ground and in the sky, their figures constantly flashed, and the golden sword and the death scythe slashed at each other again and again, colliding and creating one brilliant spark after another.
"So powerful, this is Sora's power…"
With her hands clasped together, even though there was a vast, dark night sky in front of her, the miko's bright eyes reflected a world full of golden swords. She was deeply shaken and murmured.
"Heh… As expected of Yuri, can you see the battle inside? That is the King's power, the authority of the Golden Sword!"
Having just finished treating the uncooperative Miss Kaoru, Erica came to Yuri's side, her voice filled with undisguised trust and pride.
"Erica Blandelli, tell me, what are your intentions towards me and Yuri!"
Miss Kaoru's voice, although her injuries had been treated, this young lady didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she felt that she and Yuri had fallen into some kind of conspiracy by Erica, this vixen. She grabbed Erica's collar and said with resentment.
"Yuri, look at how fierce Kaoru is. I used up my magic power to finally treat her, and she still thinks of me like this. I'm so sad!"
Breaking free from Miss Kaoru's hands, Erica hid behind Yuri, putting on a sad and scared expression, but a cunning smile occasionally flashed in her green eyes.
"Kaoru, Erica helped us with good intentions. If you keep acting like this, even if it's you, Kaoru, I'll get angry! Quickly apologize to Erica!"
Although she usually seemed gentle and weak, her personality was exceptionally persistent and serious. Yuri's simple mind didn't have so many twists and turns. She only knew that Erica had helped them, and she should be grateful to her. And Kaoru actually suspected Erica, which was truly disappointing!
"Yuri, you…"
Looking blankly at the angry Yuri, Miss Kaoru knew that this girl was truly angry. Looking at Erica, who was hiding behind Yuri and making faces at her while pretending to be a good person, Miss Kaoru felt extremely wronged.
"I'm sorry…"
In the end, Miss Kaoru still yielded. Even she didn't dare to defy her sister Yuri in this state.
Seeing Miss Kaoru's unwilling expression but having to yield under Yuri's powerful aura, Erica was delighted, a hint of a smug smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
Hmph, so what if you're as cunning as a fox? As long as I pull the simple Yuri to my side, I can still deal with you! From now on, you'd better obediently be my little sister, Erica Blandelli!
Thinking proudly to herself, Erica felt that she was too smart. As long as she had Yuri, this trump card, in her hand, she wouldn't have to worry about Miss Kaoru causing trouble! The throne of the First Queen was destined to be hers, Erica Blandelli!
"Kaoru, don't do this again in the future, okay? What do we have that's worth student Erica plotting for? You're thinking too much. Now let's quickly watch student Sora's battle. Even if we can't do anything, we should stand here and cheer for him."
It must be said that the simple sister Yuri's words made some sense. Given Erica's identity and family background, it seemed that she and Yuri had nothing worth her plotting for.
However, looking at Erica's appearance, Miss Kaoru felt that something was not right!
"Yes, yes, student Sayanomiya Kaoru, how could I, Erica Blandelli, be such a petty person? I just want to get along well with you from now on, so don't think so much!"
Feeling that her Yuri was too supportive, Erica also nodded her little head like a pecking chick, saying with a smile.
However, Erica was shouting in her heart, Yes, yes, you are what I'm plotting for!
Of course, she would never say such a thing, absolutely…
In the end, Miss Kaoru still couldn't figure out Erica's purpose and could only temporarily suppress the suspicion in her heart, turning her gaze towards the Golden Sword Domain.
There, the battle between Sora and Athena had entered a heated stage…
