Chapter 24 He is a hero!
The next moment.
Yara vanished from the spot in a flash.
In that instant, the fairy realized that Yara had appeared right in front of her, and she heard—
boom--
A deafening roar.
The blood lake was blasted into a long groove by this astonishing shockwave!
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, which has a large collection of books: 𝑡𝑤𝑘𝑎𝑛.𝑐𝑜𝑚, to read anytime.]
The fairy was struck by this terrifying force.
It was instantly sent flying hundreds of meters backward.
"I will kill this lion!"
"Anyone who stands in its way... I'll kill them!"
Yara stomped on the lake surface, and the reaction force propelled him into the air again!
He suddenly threw another punch.
The terrifying air currents churned the entire blood lake, leaving it mottled and battered.
The fairy was in a sorry state, only able to dodge constantly, her thin gauze dress was torn to shreds...
"Mortal, where does this power come from?!"
She stared in horror at Yara, who was bleeding profusely in the air.
However, Yara did not answer her question at all, and just kept attacking with heavy blows!
When dealing with fairies, you have to strike hard!
Seeing this, the lake nymph knew the situation was urgent, so she angrily opened her arms, and a powerful divine force rose from her body to withstand Yarana's relentless attacks.
at the same time.
The fairy in the lake suddenly closed her eyes and began to hum some kind of ballad—
The voice was melodious and beautiful, like a requiem.
The song, accompanied by a swirling halo, spread to the ears of the Nemean Lion.
The next moment—
The handsome lion king with the golden mane suddenly opened his eyes!
Then, as if it were having morning grumpiness, it angrily opened its blood-red maw to the sky:
"roar--"
Instantly, a terrifying pressure, accompanied by sound waves, swept out in all directions!
Dick and his two companions, who were fighting ten golden skeletons, were immediately jolted awake by the lion king's roar, which sent a shiver down their spines...
Dick was momentarily distracted, and if it weren't for Old Tyr's help, he would have had his head chopped off by a skeleton...
Fortunately, the lion did not come toward Dick and the others.
Instead, it suddenly slammed its weight onto the ground, like an earthquake, and hurtled towards Yara, who was wrestling with the Lake Nymph...
As soon as Yara turned his head, the lion king raised his claws, sharp enough to cut through any divine weapon, and pounced on him.
Almost in an instant.
Yara turned around and suddenly threw a punch, which collided with the lion king's claws!
Thud—
The powerful shockwave nearly sank the entire lake...
For a moment, Yara felt as if his fist had struck a piece of steel!
When he looked down, he found that his fist was bleeding and the bone was cracked.
The lion, however, seemed completely unharmed...
Even its golden fur remained completely undamaged.
The fairy quickly hid behind the lion king.
Seeing Yara's discomfiture, she couldn't help but feel delighted.
He reached out and affectionately stroked the handsome lion...
This action disgusted Yara.
Because he saw a hint of adoration in the eyes of the fairy in the lake...
This look wasn't the kind of affection that mortals have for a lovable, intelligent animal.
It's more like a woman's admiration for a handsome man...
A bold guess arose in his mind—
This fairy is not only the guardian of the lion...
She's still that monster's spouse!
He had long heard of the incredible love legends in the Olympian mythology...
Looking at it now, those legends are probably overly conservative!
"Mortal, your power is no match for it..."
The fairy had not yet spoken.
Yara unleashed another powerful punch!
However, the nymph hid behind the Nemean Lion.
The lion's exterior was harder than he had imagined; no matter how he attacked, he couldn't harm it in the slightest!
"Kill him!"
The Lake Nymph was thoroughly enraged by Yara, and her divine light shone forth.
Upon hearing this, the lion king in front of him roared and charged wildly across the blood lake.
It charged toward Yara like a golden fireball!
Seeing this, Yara had no time to think and collided violently with the lion king.
Rather than engaging in hand-to-hand combat on the lake of blood.
"roar!"
The lion's claws easily sliced open Yara's skin.
Yara's fist struck the lion king, causing him pain but without any apparent injury...
With a turn of the lion king, his tail lashed out.
Yara was then flung dozens of meters away by the Nemean Lion...
They skipped stones across the lake of blood.
"what to do..."
Yara was in pain all over his body and his bones were broken.
If it weren't for the fact that [Resurrection from Suffering] not only granted him power but also gave him amazing regenerative abilities, he would have been in a much worse situation.
Yara has probably already perished in this lake of blood...
"Even if I allowed the extreme pain inflicted by the succubus to grant me greater power..."
"But its fur is indestructible; no matter how strong the force, it can't break through its defenses!"
Yara slowly sank into the lake of blood...
And just as the blood was about to cover his cheeks.
He suddenly remembered the revelation that God had sent down—
[Those that are outwardly strong will inevitably perish due to internal decay.]
Suddenly, it was like a revelation, a moment of sudden enlightenment—
Tears welled up in Yara's eyes, and he murmured:
"Lord, did you foresee even my thoughts and feelings right now?"
The Lion of Narmea was indeed strong.
It's just the outer skin... its interior isn't indestructible...
Therefore, Yara could have easily beaten him to death—
He died from internal injuries!
"The Black Mist Dream Demon, which is almost extinct in the world."
"It must be a decree issued by you..."
"May you grant us a peaceful and beautiful dream on our journey..."
"I have been granted three more opportunities to possess great power..."
"Lord, Your Highness and Greatness are unfathomable..."
So Yara pulled out a trembling bottle of dream demon from her waist, gritted her teeth, and squeezed it to burst it.
The triggered dream demon immediately extended countless tentacles and connected with Yara's body—
An indescribable, excruciating pain, reaching the limits of both sensation and physiology, surged through Yara's body...
The immortal inscription on that soul—ᚾ—shone with dazzling golden light.
[Resurrection from Misery]——
Suddenly, a terrifying force, surpassing human limits, surged forth...
It burst forth from Yara!
The fairy cried out in surprise—
"What's going on? The water in the Blood Lake seems to be evaporating?"
The next moment.
A figure flew out of the blood lake at a speed that even a fairy could not catch...
Huge waves splashed dozens of meters high, then poured down like rain.
In an instant, a fist, laced with blood, rage, and pain, slammed towards the golden lion king.
The lion king had no time to react and was punched to the shore.
Even the fairy in the lake was affected by the terrifying gust of wind, which blasted a horrifying deep crater into the riverbed composed of ashes and severed limbs...
The figure then flashed past.
He relentlessly pounded the fallen lion king with punch after punch!
The earth trembled violently from the beating.
The skeletons, as well as old Tyr and the others, were shaken to their feet by the terrifying earthquake.
They looked in horror toward the direction from which the commotion had occurred.
The golden-maned lion was pinned down under Yara's knees and could not move.
Passively enduring the terrifying blows, it howled in pain, its eyes filled with both fear and confusion...
But the Lion of Narnia...
They will eventually die in bewilderment and despair.
It was smashed alive by Yara until it vomited blood and died; even its internal organs turned into a puddle of pus.
Yara saw that the lions were no longer moving.
So he slowly raised his head.
His ghostly eyes stared at the fairy who was barely clinging to life beside him.
He stepped forward, grabbed the fairy by the neck, his fingers like iron clamps, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pry them open...
The fairy's slender, fair legs kicked wildly, her eyes filled with terror, and she managed to utter a sound—
"A daring mortal..."
"By doing this... you are going against the gods..."
Yara snorted coldly.
He lifted the fairy of the lake high above his head and roared:
"I am just a mortal..."
"But more importantly, he is the Messiah!"
"Foolish Olympian gods..."
"Open your ears!"
"Listen carefully—"
Yara stood by the lake of blood, before the chaotic mass of severed limbs.
Under that bright red light.
He held high the messenger of the gods.
Shout—
"I am Yara..."
"Yara Messiah".
"God's anointed one..."
"The First Messiah!"
The next moment, the fairy in the lake was strangled to death.
Like a sacrifice offered to the heavens, her form slowly dissipated, turning into specks of white light...
And then...
And the sky, forever shrouded in black clouds.
Amidst the countless lost souls, the parched land stretching for hundreds of miles, the withered forests, and the mist...
Night falls as the chapter draws to a close.
The stars and the night vanished with the death of the lion.
A faint golden halo appeared on the horizon—
Daylight broke.
A ray of golden dawn.
It shines forth from the brilliant sunrise.
It rained down on the man who called himself 'Messiah'...
The light illuminated his body covered in blood and gruesome scars...
His rough cheeks were etched with weakness, and his eyes held a profound weariness...
He didn't look strong; in fact, he was rather thin...
However.
In the testimony of Dick, Pan, and old Sue.
This man before us, single-handedly, killed the monster that had wreaked havoc on the region—
"Yara... killed the Nemean Lion..."
"Messiah..."
"Hero, Messiah!"
"He is a hero!"
Dick, Pan, and old Tyr.
At the same moment, he almost knelt down on the ground, trembling.
Swords and weapons all fell to the ground...
The sun rose behind Yara, and the beautiful morning glow resembled his halo—
They couldn't quite make out the Messiah's figure...
The dawn light pierced through him and shone upon them.
An indescribable emotion rose from the depths of their hearts.
Tears inexplicably streamed down my face...
Is it like worshipping a king? No, this is not a form of subservience to power...
Like worshipping idols? No, this is far more awe-inspiring than worshipping inanimate objects...
Like witnessing history, like witnessing an epic...
They were more like witnesses to the beginning of a great epic.
Witness.
And, I am honored to share in it.
