Chapter 195 : Achilles, spear fighting!
Before Li Yu finished speaking, a Celestial Saints was already enraged; he knelt on one knee and pleaded with Apollo.
"My Lord Apollo, please let me gauge his strength!"
Apollo nodded slightly.
"Go, but don't kill him immediately. I still need to take him back to Olympus, make him repent, and then utterly destroy his body and soul!"
The Celestial Saints leaped from the aerial chariot. He landed as lightly as a feather, then a smile played on his lips as he slowly walked towards Li Yu.
"I heard in the Heavenly Realm that you are called the strongest Gold Saint of this era?"
"Actually, I've long wanted to spar with you and test your mettle!"
Athena looked nervous and quietly said to Li Yu.
"Be careful, he is Achilles! He is a demigod... a being born with the Eighth Sense already awakened!"
Achilles?
He is the son of the sea goddess Thetis and the Mortal hero Peleus. As soon as he was born, his mother Thetis held him by the ankle and dipped him into the River Styx, granting him an immortal body... Li Yu nodded slightly. Even the god of war from mythology who breached Troy has appeared. He wondered how much divine power he could gain by killing him.
According to Li Yu's understanding, there are a total of eighteen Celestial Saintss in the Heavenly Realm, ranked from weakest to strongest as follows:
The eighteenth, Touma, also known as Icarus!
He is the only human Celestial Saints, and also the younger brother of the Silver Saint Marin.
The seventeenth, Stentor, a Celestial Saints who controls sound wave energy.
The sixteenth, Ajax, an ancient warrior with extremely rich combat experience.
The fifteenth, Phaeton, a Celestial Saints skilled in manipulating light and Fire energy.
The fourteenth, Deucalion, a Water-element energy manipulator.
The thirteenth, Achilles, a descendant of demigods, who once breached Troy.
The twelfth, Endymion, a Celestial Saints skilled in musical attacks, and Apollo's chief music officer.
The eleventh, Theseus, an ancient Greek hero.
The tenth, Odysseus... The first, the mighty god, Hercules!
These Celestial Saintss are all demigods or human heroes who have survived from ancient times until now. Only Touma is a human who recently became a Celestial Saints, but he too has gradually come to regard himself as a god.
Through endless years, the Celestial Saintss, absorbing the divine power of Mount Olympus, have all broken through the Eighth Sense and reached the Ninth Sense!
Li Yu faced the legendary demigod hero, Achilles, without any fear.
He lightly clasped his hand, and the spear of longinus instantly appeared in his palm from the void.
This ominous spear, like a shark, sensed the divine power of the gods present and twisted in Li Yu's palm. The purple Chaos Lightning power on the spear's shaft was almost tangible.
Upon seeing this, Apollo's eyes flashed with a hint of greed.
The Chaos Lightning power of the God King Zeus, surprisingly, was controlled by a Mortal. The spear in Li Yu's hand reminded Apollo of his father's lightning-wielding divine artifact, which intensified his desire to acquire Li Yu.
Apollo clenched his fists.
"You insignificant Mortal, everything about you should belong to me!"
He shouted sternly.
"Achilles, be careful. In this battle, you are only allowed to win, not to lose!"
Achilles chuckled. He slowly walked in front of Li Yu, his God Cloth falling away on its own, revealing his muscular and perfect physique.
He took a golden long spear from his back.
"It seems you are very skilled with a spear? Then let's have a spear duel!"
"To make the fight fairer, I can go without my God Cloth. After all, compared to my God Cloth, that thing you're wearing is just scrap metal!"
Li Yu chuckled. His Aquarius Cloth also instantly left his body. Who doesn't know how to show off? With his Krypton steel body, he might not be inferior to Achilles' immortal body.
What's more, he knew Achilles' fatal weakness!
The two walked down the ruins of Hades' Temple and entered the field of mandrake flowers.
Achilles, the demigod hero who had bathed in the River Styx and possessed an immortal body, held the golden long spear that once struck fear into the hearts of the Trojans, and casually performed a spear flourish.
The spear tip cut through the air, emitting a sharp hiss, like a whisper before drinking divine blood.
A confident smile played on his lips, and his gaze was fixed on Li Yu, like an elegant yet dangerous leopard scrutinizing its prey.
Li Yu stood tall as a pine, the spear of longinus, entirely Black and entwined with purple lightning patterns, pointed diagonally to the ground in his hand.
The spear's shaft exuded an ominous chill, contrasting with his deep, calm eyes.
Facing the legendary demigod hero, Li Yu's face showed no ripple of emotion. He merely subtly adjusted his center of gravity, adopting a similar offensive stance.
Previously, he had always used this fierce spear as a throwing weapon. Although he had no experience with using a spear in close combat, he was not afraid in the slightest.
"Main God, exchange for Spear Grandmaster skill."
[Spend 500 credit points to exchange for Spear Grandmaster!]
In the Reincarnation Space, experience with such melee weapons was very cheap. Of course, cheap was relative to a big spender like Li Yu.
Countless years of spear-wielding experience flooded Li Yu's mind. He instantly felt a unity of man and spear, the spear striking like a dragon... There was no burning flame of Cosmo, no roar of an ultimate technique being activated.
Achilles moved!
His movements were as fast as lightning, carrying the rhythmic beauty of an ancient Greek sculpture.
The golden long spear transformed into a sharp light that tore through space, without any fancy feints, striking directly at Li Yu's heart!
This thrust condensed the killing intent of countless battles, a perfect combination of pure speed and strength.
Wherever the spear's wind passed, even space was instantly torn open, forming a spear mark that lingered for a long time.
Li Yu's response was equally concise to the extreme.
He stepped back half a pace with his left foot, twisted his waist, and the spear of longinus, like a waking Black Dragon, precisely swept upwards from below!
Clang!
A deafening clang of metal erupted!
The sharp spear tips of the two divine weapons collided violently at the last moment!
Dazzling sparks, like miniature fireworks, burst forth, instantly illuminating their stern faces.
A tremendous force traveled along the spear shaft. The ground beneath Li Yu's feet silently cracked into a spiderweb pattern, while Achilles' spear-wielding arm muscles instantly bulged like iron, stabilizing his posture.
Without any delay, Achilles flicked his wrist, and the golden spear instantly retracted like a venomous snake, then swept out again at an even more cunning angle. The spear shaft carried immense force, intending to strike Li Yu at the waist and send him flying.
Li Yu's reaction was inhumanly fast. He slammed the butt of his spear into the ground, using the leverage to leap up. The Black spear danced around him, forming an impenetrable barrier of dark light, like an iron gate, firmly blocking Achilles' sweeping attack.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
A rapid and furious series of impacts rang out densely, like heavy rain drumming on a rooftop.
The divine spears in their hands became blurred afterimages. The long spears were no longer heavy weapons in their grip, but extensions of their limbs.
Achilles' offense was like an angry tide crashing against the shore, each wave higher than the last. Every spear thrust contained immense power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, and the angles shifted unpredictably, sometimes like a nimble snake striking at a vital point, other times like a giant python sweeping across the battlefield.
His spear technique was the ultimate art of killing, honed through countless bloody battles, full of power and wild beauty!
Li Yu, on the other hand, was like a reef standing firm amidst a raging storm.
His spear style was completely different from Achilles', discarding all flamboyance and redundancy, leaving only the most concise and efficient trajectories.
Every block, every parry, every dodge was precise to the millimeter, with minimal movement yet astonishing effectiveness.
The spear of longinus in his hand was more like a city wall, always able to predict and neutralize Achilles' thunderous attacks with the slightest movement.
His occasional counterattacks were like sudden lightning bolts in the dark, with tricky angles and vicious timing, forcing Achilles to parry and defend, making the offensive and defensive rhythm breathtakingly fast.
Spear shadows intertwined!
Golden and Black light flashed, collided, separated, and collided again frantically amidst the flower sea of Elysium!
"Haha, this is exhilarating! Take this!"
Achilles roared, and a golden light suddenly appeared on his spear shaft...
