I rely on myself

Chapter 457 Both sides suffer losses
The fourth incarnation of Veleslana, "The Camel"

It allows the user to acquire divine-level kicking skills, greatly increasing the power of the kick and the user's own endurance. The user's fighting skills and combat awareness also reach the divine level. The user becomes insensitive to pain, and bleeding from powerful blows will stop.

The incarnation has such a powerful effect, but its usage conditions are also very harsh, that is, it can only be used when one is seriously injured.

Moreover, the serious injuries here do not include superficial injuries such as those caused by punching and kicking, but a series of injuries that are almost fatal, such as swords piercing the body, ruptured internal organs, broken bones, etc., to meet the requirements.

Before, facing Perseus' sudden attack, Kusanagi Godou did not react in time, but after his body was pierced by the sword, his mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he instantly realized that this was the best time to activate this incarnation.

So without thinking too much, he took action immediately, grabbing the other party tightly with both hands to prevent him from escaping, and in the end, he did injure Perseus since the battle officially started.

"Hahaha……"

However, even so, the damage Kusanagi Godou suffered as a result was not discounted at all. Although the Camel could make him numb to pain, it did not mean that his damage would be recovered.

So from other people's point of view, Kusanagi Godou was seriously injured by Perseus, and although he fought back, he almost fell down due to the severity of his injuries.

Apart from the two people fighting here, the only person watching the fight had similar thoughts and a worried expression on his face.

"boom!"

With a roar, a figure stood up from the ruins. It was Perseus. The hero at this moment could no longer be as calm as before.

His sturdy chest was deeply sunken, giving people the feeling that it was hit by a pile driver, and in fact it was indeed caused by an attack of equal force.

Perseus raised his arm and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. It can be seen that Kusanagi Godou's kick not only caused damage to his chest, but also caused some internal trauma to him, so he spit out blood from his mouth.

Looking at the bright red stain on his arm, Perseus exclaimed, "Hahahahaha! Originally, I just wanted to kill some time before the final battle with Athena, but Kusanagi Godou, you make me very happy! Come on, let's continue..."

Although he was also seriously injured, Perseus became more and more excited. This was probably the so-called hero's thinking. Kusanagi Godou couldn't accept this from the bottom of his heart, but he also silently wanted to get up and continue the fight.

But at this moment, a beautiful figure like a fairy broke into this superhuman battlefield and stood in front of Kusanagi Godou, looking like a guard.

After seeing the appearance of the person coming, Kusanagi Godou exclaimed: "Liliana!? What are you doing? Get out of here!"

At the end, Kusanagi Godou even shouted, with a look of obvious worry on his face. However, Liliana remained very calm and did not show any sign of backing down. She responded in a stern voice.

"Please allow me to refuse!"

"what?"

"I am partly responsible for Perseus's coming, but now you have to deal with him. I feel guilty about this. If I have to just stand by and watch, I might as well die. So let me lend you a hand!"

Kusanagi Godou fully accepted the girl's consciousness, but because of this, he didn't want her to join the battle. Before he could say anything else, Perseus suddenly spoke. "Oh! Since you have the courage to break into this battlefield, you are very brave, but the graceful girl's hands are not suitable for holding a sword, let me bury the godslayer here and save the girl!"

Perseus spoke these unreasonable words without considering other people's wishes at all, as if it was a matter of course.

Of course, Liliana responded, "God Perseus, I'm so sorry, please don't make such a bad joke. I'm Kusanagi Godou's knight, there's no need for you to save me—!"

"Oh, you are really brave. I like your personality!"

Perseus smiled back at Liliana, who had summoned the magic sword Silver Master and was wearing a blue and black cloak.

"But for a girl who is with a monster to join my sect is like imitating the beautiful Andromeda. And you are a priestess - a virgin serving the Mother Earth, let alone."

That was undoubtedly the Word Spirit, a language with power that could bring the target under its control. It was a power that belonged only to God.

Kusanagi Godou recognized it instantly and warned Liliana loudly: "Don't listen to him, Liliana, that is a strange power that makes obedient people follow his orders. As long as you have the determination to resist, you can resist!"

"........."

Unfortunately, although Kusanagi Godou reminded Perseus the moment he realized it, he was still a step too late. Liliana was standing still, staring at Perseus blankly, and it was obvious that she had been hit.

"hateful!"

Kusanagi Godou complained in a low voice. Although he reminded as soon as possible, he was still a step too late. Perseus also spoke at the right time.

"It's useless, Kusanagi Godou. Admittedly, if she had a firm resistance in her heart, she could indeed fight against my control, and even get rid of it. But unlike people like you, as a witch, she has been constantly instilled with the threats related to gods like us since she was a child. It will take a lot of time to get rid of it, so give up."

Perseus looked sacred and transcendent, as if he was stating the truth of the world, and Kusanagi Godou knew that what he said was not wrong to a certain extent.

Kusanagi Godou knew this because of the knowledge about Perseus that Liliana taught him.

Perseus is a typical steel hero, with experience in slaying dragons and snakes, and saving beautiful girls. This experience is a metaphor for the male gods headed by the steel hero overthrowing the early matriarchal society, that is, defeating or conquering the earth goddesses at that time, and demoting them to their wives, sisters and daughters.

And it just so happened that Liliana had the blood of a priestess, that is, the blood passed down from the ancient goddess of the earth who turned into a god.

That's why he was so easily dominated by Perseus, the Hero of Steel.

However, even though he knew these reasons, Kusanagi Godou had no intention of giving up. Just as he was about to say something, a slightly heroic voice suddenly sounded.

“Oh my, I know that gods are willful, but it’s a bit too much to say such arrogant words.”
