The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 517 - 40_2

Chapter 517 -40_2

Even in the Divine Era, when demigods roamed freely, only a handful possessed this thing. They were either famed heroes, era-defining great sages, or one-of-a-kind enchantresses, creatures akin to deities.

Typical examples included the Goddess of the Mingyue, Hecate; the Witch of the Moon, Circe; the Goddess of Magic, Athena, among a few others.

Which demigod’s daughter is this young girl to possess such astonishing magical aptitude that leaves one speechless?

Blocked, it was blocked…

Medea wiped the fragrant sweat beading on her forehead and sighed in relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

“Not bad at all. It seems your mastery of magic has already surpassed that silly bird Circe.”

Hearing the praise from behind, Medea turned her head and looked at her elder martial brother, who was looking at her with approval, and she couldn’t help but show a shy smile.

Hearing the assessment from Luo En, a teacher at the Academy of Athens, several Divine Blood Heroes who graduated from the Academy immediately thought of a legend from the academy. They bowed respectfully, pressing a hand to their chests, showing their respect to the harmless-looking young girl, then gathered together with the comrades who had also come to offer support, whispering among themselves.

There’s a saying in Peloponnese, half of Greece’s mages come from Athens, and among them, two-thirds of the elite are from the Academy of Athens.

There is no doubt about how profound the Academy of Athens’s foundation in magical teaching and talent cultivation is.

Among the younger generation of the Academy of Athens, the most famous magic prodigy was Medea, said to be the Disciple of the Witch of the Moon, Circe, and the granddaughter of the Goddess Hecate.

Legend had it that she was the princess of Colchis, adopted by the Great Witch Circe from an early age and meticulously taught.

Later, she followed Circe to the War God Mountain and received guidance from both the Goddess of Memory and the Goddess of Wisdom. Her magic had already become so sophisticated that it nearly matched that of the deities.

In fact, with her level of magic, she could have long graduated from the Academy of Athens, but it seemed War God Mountain intended to train her as part of their teaching reserves, thus she continued to study at the school.

The academy’s forbidden library of magic and witchcraft was seemingly managed by her, hence this senior sister appeared to have earned the title of “Witch Queen” within the academy.

Just as everyone cast their surprised and awe-filled eyes on Medea, the sky turned a dazzling crimson red.

Boom!

In an instant, an eerie scarlet flame fell from the sky, pierced through the magical barrier, and crashed into the city walls unabated, stirring up a terrifying Aether Storm. The bricks, inscribed with protective runes, shattered and flew off.

Pupupupu!

For a moment, rocks flew through the air. Except for a few quick-reacting Divine Blood warriors, most of the soldiers and mages who had remained in place did not even have time to scream before their bodies were ripped apart and minced.

Straightaway, the spilt blood and scattered limbs hadn’t even reached the ground before they evaporated under the scorching radiance.

Hiss…

By instinct, those who were lucky enough to survive the calamity brushed off the dust and chunks of stone from their bodies, peered out from their shelters tentatively, and upon seeing the charred patches on the ground, they all gasped in shock.

The place they had been defending had been transformed into a pit dozens of meters deep, with smoke wafting from the rocks at the edges, which even showed signs of high-temperature crystallization.

The remnants of those who died in battle were left with no corpse to be found.

The ghastliness of the scene made everyone’s skin crawl and their blood run cold.

“Charge! Kill the shrimp hiding in their shells!”

Almost simultaneously, a deep and sinister roar spread over the battlefield.

Under the sudden surge of a heatwave, visible distortions appeared in the air, nearly half of the trees and grass on the ground wilted and ignited swiftly, even the water in the moat began to boil.

Merely the aftermath, the terrifying heat was unbearable.

Had Medea not quickly gathered the surrounding Water Elementals and erected a wall of ice to protect everyone, they would have been roasted and combusted in the blink of an eye.

And at that moment, a meteorite several kilometers in diameter, ablaze with raging flames, was summoned through the vast magic array that shrouded the sky, and it hurtled towards the ground at a speed that left no time for cover.

Boom!

Under the intense quake, everyone guarding the citadel staggered, unable to stay on their feet.

When the aftershocks had somewhat subsided, they were horrified to see that the wall of Thessaly City, which had served to keep the enemy at bay, had once again collapsed, torn open with a gap stretching for hundreds of meters.

This scar laid bare the softest underbelly of the city and the huddled soldiers within the ramparts, completely exposed before the magic beasts and the giants.

The numerous hideous-faced giants all turned to their comrade, with skin dark as stone and eyes deep blue as the sea, and cheered in unison.

“Well done, Antaeus!”

“Rip their limbs to set up an altar, twist off their heads for offerings, let these worms know who truly owns this land!”

Antaeus, the giant, listened to his comrades’ praises with pride, and with a massive arm, he snatched up a giant lion that measured three meters long from among the beasts and tore it apart with his bare hands, stuffing it into his mouth to chew.

The sound of bones breaking continuously echoed in his mouth, and a dark red blood dripped down from the corners of his lips. The sight of the bloodthirsty feasting was ghastly.

Antaeus looked at the trembling soldiers on the city walls and the ashen-faced civilians in the city, licked his crimson tongue, and then sprinted forward.

“This is the temple of the gods, the gate to the heavens!”

Accompanied by the deep chant, golden characters of divine patterns emerged and embedded themselves into the base, their innate authority pouring in. The crowd faintly saw the apparition of a towering temple gradually solidifying, flinging the giant named Antaeus away.

Following that, Luo En stepped forward to steady Medea, who was on the verge of collapse. Gazing at the dense crowd of magic beasts and giants outside the city, he dipped his fingertip into crimson wine and chanted divine words as he drew Hermes Script on the ground.

“Earth is my body, water is my blood, trees are my fortress. With the mysterious inheritance, I summon the ancient wisdom here, answer my call, awaken from your slumber—come forth, Earth Guardian!”

As the last stroke was completed, the crimson magic array shone brilliantly, like living veins extending in all directions.

Boom…

Immediately, the ground outside the city roared and shook. A colossal creature, standing seven to eight meters tall with a body made of rock and adorned with tufts of green at its head and joints, emerged from the earth fissure. With a towering stance, it positioned itself in front of the summoner, lifted its hand to form a sword from stones, and began to wield the nearly three-meter-long weapon, sweeping through the swarms of magic beasts and giants.

Plop, plop, plop, plop!

In an instant, several beasts at the forefront were brutally batted away. Their skeletons shattered completely, turning into a mushy heap upon hitting the ground.

Seeing no way to avoid the onslaught, the giants grimaced with ferocity and mercilessly hammered at the rock giant’s joints.

However, the creature was undisturbed. It kicked forward, toppling everyone in its path and forcefully carved a bloody trail through the magic beasts and giants.

“Damn it, we can’t break through!”

“Bastards! How has this monster’s magic power not been drained yet!”

“Don’t panic, retreat first! This thing definitely won’t last much longer!”

Looking at the blood and flesh scattered around, with the magic beasts’ ranks having reduced by a third, the giants felt the urge to retreat. Amidst the noisy clamor, they turned around, putting distance between themselves and the beast.

Indeed, the Earth Guardian summoned to their aid was limited by distance and magic power supply, confined to an activity radius of no more than a hundred meters or so.

Even more treacherously, the giants who had pulled back beyond a hundred meters began picking up massive stones to strike back.

With consecutive “crack,” “crack” sounds…

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

In moments, those Earth Guardians standing in place were covered in a web of cracks and crumbled one after another, turning into rolling rubble on the ground.
