Chapter 176 : Battle of Sagittarius Palace, Camus, where is your holy cloth?
Inside the Sagittarius Palace, the dome was painted with a brilliant star map, as if the entire starry sky had been moved into the palace.
But at this moment, an endless Nebula was enveloped by a biting cold air, which spread along the stone cracks, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the ground.
The former Aquarius Gold Saint Degel stood at the entrance of the hall, a hint of surprise flashing in his light blue eyes.
He could clearly sense the aura of the Great Path of Ice contained within the freezing air, which was clearly the power of an Aquarius Saint, but why was the opponent not guarding the Aquarius Palace, but instead appearing in the Sagittarius Palace?
"Don't get distracted!"
Sisyphus, the former Sagittarius, who was beside him, pressed on Degel's shoulder, his voice low.
"The battle in this palace belongs to me. We don't have much time left. You must rush to the Goddess Temple as soon as possible."
As his words fell, Sisyphus's body ignited with a golden Cosmo, and the freezing air permeating the hall was instantly dispelled.
The illusion before him vanished, and two Saints wearing bronze cloth appeared before him.
Hyoga, wearing the Cygnus bronze cloth, exuded a biting cold, and the radiance of Absolute Zero caused the air in the hall to freeze.
Shun, wearing the Andromeda bronze cloth, had his Nebula Chain moving around him like a living creature, its links gleaming with a cold light, like a python poised to strike, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Sisyphus's gaze instantly turned cold. He slowly nodded, gripping the bow and arrow on his back, and drew an arrow that glowed with purple-black light. He said in a deep voice.
"Move aside! I will not hold back with this arrow!"
His answer was the silent persistence of Hyoga and Shun.
The two stepped forward simultaneously. In front of Hyoga, an ice wall instantly formed, while Shun's Nebula Chain wove a defensive net in front of him, clearly showing no intention of backing down.
His answer was the silence and persistence of the two Bronze Saintss.
"Hmph, then let's see if you can block this arrow of mine!"
Thedeep arrow shot out like a comet. The power of this arrow directly broke through the shackles of space, containing a formidable power capable of piercing through stars.
Hyoga and Shun dared not be negligent. Hyoga unleashed his ultimate technique, Aurora Execution, attempting to freeze the arrow.
But the powerful penetrating force and the mighty Cosmo power contained in the Gold Arrow caused the solid ice to continuously shatter!
Shun's Nebula Chain wove layer upon layer of defensive nets, attempting to block the arrow.
The chains collided with the arrow, emitting a harsh metallic grinding sound and energy explosions. Stardust splattered, and the chains wailed.
But the impact of the Gold Arrow still sent the two flying into mid-air, spitting blood, and falling heavily to the ground... With just one strike, Sisyphus defeated the two Bronze Saintss.
"Although your power has surpassed that of Bronze Saintss and reached the level of Gold Saints, trying to stop us is a bit overestimating yourselves!"
He did not continue to kill the two Bronze Saintss. He put away his bow and arrow and, accompanied by the remaining former Saints, passed through the Sagittarius Palace.
As their footsteps were about to exit the Sagittarius Palace, Hyoga's resolute voice came from behind them!
"Wait, the battle is not over yet!"
Sisyphus turned back, his pupils constricted, as a White bird danced gracefully in the snowstorm!
Inside the cold stone hall of the Capricorn Palace, sword qi crisscrossed, and the ground and stone pillars in the hall were covered with smooth, mirror-like cuts.
Shura's arm transformed into the sharpest Holy Sword, exuding an unstoppable sharpness.
Capricorn is the sharpest sword in the Goddess's hand, and Shura, even more so, carried out the belief of the Holy Sword to the end!
El Cid's sword intent was even more restrained and pure, having been tempered through the previous Holy War, returning to its original simplicity. His Holy Sword was far sharper than Shura's.
The Capricorn duel had no flashy moves, only the most direct and fatal slashes!
"Holy Sword!"
The two shouted simultaneously.
Golden sword light, like a divine punishment that opened up the World, instantly clashed in the center of the palace!
"Clang!"
A metallic clash, loud enough to tear the soul, echoed through the sky! A storm of extremely sharp sword qi erupted at the point of impact!
Space seemed to be cut open by these two supreme sword intents, forming a temporary vacuum crack!
The ground beneath their feet silently cracked into deep ravines, and the surrounding stone walls were shaved off a thick layer by the escaping sword qi!
Their figures intersected, separated, and then collided again!
Each slash carried the determination to sever fate.
This was a competition of skill and will, each strike containing the power to cut down stars.
This was also an ultimate dialogue between the inheritors of the Holy Sword, regarding the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
Degel and Albafica arrived in front of the Aquarius Palace. The palace before them was filled with cold air, with ice crystals condensed, resembling a palace of ice.
A hint of surprise appeared in Degel's eyes. The Bronze Saints guarding the Sagittarius Palace was very strong, and the one who taught him must be the person Shion mentioned.
Li Yu, who was known as the strongest Saint at that time!
With a slight anticipation, he stepped into the palace.
Degel's gaze swept over Camus, then lingered on the aquarius gold cloth on Camus's body.
A hint of surprise then appeared in his eyes.
Degel did not immediately make a move. He said calmly.
"Your cold air, your Cosmo... are worthy of the inheritance of Aquarius. But..."
His gaze pierced Camus's Cloth like an ice pick.
"Where is your Cloth? Why, as a Gold Saint, do you not even have your own Gold Cloth?"
As the former Aquarius Gold Saint, he was far more familiar with the Aquarius Cloth than anyone could imagine.
The moment he entered the palace, he saw that the Cloth on Camus's body was wrong; it was entirely an ice Cloth composed of ice-elemental abilities!
Camus clenched his fists unwillingly, the man's back appearing in his mind.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice.
"The original trajectory of this generation's Aquarius's fate has deviated slightly!"
"There are two Saints of Aquarius. I am Camus, and the Cloth was taken by Li Yu..."
Degel's lips curled slightly. So that's how it is. But when did Aquarius also have the inheritance of a Gemini companion star?
It's a pity, I thought I could witness the power of this generation's strongest Gold Saint!
Degel assumed a starting stance.
"Camus, fighting me with this fake is a double blasphemy against you, me, and the honor of Aquarius."
Before his words finished, the Surplice granted by Hades on Degel's body instantly disintegrated, and then a transparent Aquarius Cloth quietly formed on him!
He was unwilling to take advantage of Camus, directly shedding the shackles representing the Underworld, and intending to fight Camus to the death in the same state.
A hint of complexity flashed in Camus's eyes. He did not speak, but the cold air around him suddenly became purer and closer to the essence of Absolute Zero!
Degel and Camus raised their hands simultaneously.
"Aurora Execution!"
Two extremely condensed ice-elemental powers, capable of freezing the sea, collided head-on!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a deathly silent, rapidly spreading Absolute Zero!
The impact point formed a continuously expanding, flawless ice crystal sphere, and space-time itself was frozen!
The cold permeated their souls, as the two Aquarius Saints engaged in a silent contest with the purest Great Path of Ice.
Ice crystals continuously grew, shattered, and regenerated, and the palace was completely transformed into a World of ice sculptures and jade carvings.
