Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"This is getting a bit troublesome!" Wu Xin suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Hiding in the shadows, the opponent can attack or defend at will, putting them in an invincible position.

Although he still possesses the Ghost Azure Flame, a skill that uses the opponent's cosmic power as fuel and can almost break through all techniques, the shadow on the ground is not a change in the opponent's cosmic power, but a real thing that Ghost Azure Flame cannot destroy.

For a moment, he couldn't think of a way to break the shadow, and the battle reached a stalemate.

In the stands, many Saint Seiya fans were amazed by what they saw.

"Number Two's moves are really strange. I'm afraid even if I were to face him, I wouldn't be able to find a way to deal with him for the time being!"

"Me too, I can't handle it at all!"

Not only the ordinary Saints, but even the Gold Saints in the stands frowned.

"Hey, do any of you guys have any ideas on how to crack this?" Manigoldo turned around and asked the group of gold-plated figures behind him with a mischievous grin.

He couldn't find a solution for the time being, but that didn't stop him from using this problem to test his fellow Gold Saints.

After all, you can't let yourself be the only one suffering, right?

Chapter 42: Defending and Awaiting Attack

Aries Shion said confidently, "As long as I wait until he leaves the shadows again, I will cover the earth with the 'Crystal Wall' and he will have nowhere to escape!"

The 'Crystal Wall' possesses extremely powerful defensive and reflective capabilities. As long as the Crystal Wall is used to prevent the opponent from making contact with the shadow, everything will be resolved naturally.

“Good idea, but only you can use it!” Manigold shrugged.

While he acknowledged Shion's solution, he didn't entirely agree with it.

After all, not everyone knows how to use a crystal wall.

Taurus Hasgard thought for a moment and then replied, "I don't have a way to break the shadow."

"However, we can seize the moment he leaves the shadows to attack and defeat him, so that he has no chance to return to the shadows to hide again."

“That’s a good idea!” Capricorn El Cid nodded.

Like Taurus, he is only good at using physical moves. He is also helpless against this shadow that ignores physical attacks and can only wait for the moment the opponent strikes to decide the outcome.

Not only El Cid, but the rest of the Gold Saints also expressed their agreement.

Taurus's ideas are very convenient and can be used by everyone.

Ultimately, the goal of breaking the shadow is still to defeat the enemy. If the shadow cannot be broken, the only option is to wait for the right opportunity and defeat the enemy when the shadow is gone.

In the arena, after a brief moment of thought, Wuxin reached the same conclusion as Taurus.

"Since we can't break through his shadow, let's wait for the right opportunity and defeat him after he breaks free from it!"

Immediately, Wu Xin gathered his thoughts, focused his energy on locking onto all the shadows on the ground, and secretly gathered his strength, preparing to decide the outcome the moment his opponent broke free from the shadow.

Meanwhile, Number Two, hidden in the shadows, was also very troubled.

He relied on the protection of his shadow to render Wuxin helpless, but the protection of his shadow could not bring him victory.

Ultimately, he still has to defeat Wuxin; he can't keep hiding in the shadows forever.

However, the two sides are far apart in strength, and a direct confrontation would not be a wise move.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea.

After a stalemate lasting nearly three minutes, and just as many spectators in the stands were growing impatient, things finally changed in the arena.

Suddenly, a figure flew out from the shadows behind Wu Xin and launched a surprise attack from behind.

Having anticipated this, he naturally wouldn't fall for it so easily. He immediately turned around and threw a punch, striking his opponent squarely in the chest despite being behind.

Number Two only has the strength of about 150,000 times the speed of sound, while he has reached nearly 300,000 times the speed of sound, a difference of almost 100%.

Therefore, even if he had the initiative to launch a surprise attack, Wuxin could still strike back and win.

This is his advantage in speed and reaction.

However, just as he landed his punch on Number Two, the opponent's body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a black shadow and falling back to the ground.

"A clone? A feint?"

Wu Xin immediately saw through the other party's plan.

Use the clone as bait to launch a sneak attack from behind, drawing his attention to his back, while you attack from another direction.

It must be said that number two's tactic was extremely clever.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be overwhelmed and caught off guard.

But Wuxin had already made plans.

Immediately afterwards, another number two rushed out of the shadows not far away and pounced on him from the side.

Wu Xin forced himself to change his move, twisting his waist and using his shoulder to bump into the other side, adopting a mutually destructive fighting style.

boom!

Number Two landed a punch on Wu Xin's waist, but Wu Xin also crashed into Number Two. His figure disintegrated and instantly turned into a shadow, falling back to the ground.

"Another clone? They're really cautious!" Wu Xin exclaimed.

Just then, another number two rushed out from the shadows not far away.

This time, Wuxin was no longer able to change his tactics.

The second attacker was also somewhat different from the previous ones.

He ignited his inner universe, and the shadows on the ground instantly flowed backward like water, converging in the opponent's palm and materializing into a black spear.

"Victory is mine!"

"Shadow Piercing"

He laughed as he threw the black spear in his hand.

"No, I'm the winner!"

Just as Number Two thought he had won, Wu Xin's confident voice rang in his ears again.

Immediately afterward, to his astonishment, Wu Xin, who hadn't had time to turn around, bent his finger and pointed his index finger behind him.

"Sekishiki - Netherworld Wave"

In an instant, three silver streams of energy flew out from Wu Xin's fingertips and shot towards Number Two, who had already broken free of his shadow.

After deciding on a defensive strategy, Wu Xin secretly accumulated power, waiting only to determine the location of his opponent's true form before unleashing his accumulated corpse energy to decide the outcome.

He never expected that Number Two would be so cautious, using two clones to lure him.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and planned to withstand several attacks from the opponent to make them careless, and only make a move after confirming the location of the main body.

Otherwise, when the other party uses the clone to lure him a second time, he might not be able to resist making a move.

Now that the location of Number Two's main body is completely confirmed, he naturally no longer needs to be polite.

"Do not--"

Number Two was terrified and hurriedly tried to escape back into the shadows on the ground, but it was too late.

With speed far exceeding that of Number Two, Wu Xin once again struck back to defeat his enemy, and the accumulated corpse energy penetrated Number Two's body at an even faster speed.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom soul was dragged out by the accumulated corpse energy.

However, Wu Xin was not faring any better. He too was unable to dodge the black spear and was pierced through the abdomen and pinned to the ground.

"hiss--"

He gasped in pain.

But it was all worth it; he had captured Number Two's soul, completely eliminating any possibility of the opponent escaping back into the shadows.

"It seems that Junior Brother has won after all!"

Seeing the situation in the arena, Manigoldo revealed a smug smile.

Once the soul is captured by the accumulated corpse energy, there is no chance for an ordinary person to escape.

Examples like Pegasus are ultimately rare miracles.

Inside the arena, Wuxin was equally confident, waiting for Number Two to completely give up the struggle, at which point the battle would truly be over.

Meanwhile, after a struggle, Number Two's resistance gradually weakened, but there was still resentment on his face, and his gaze toward Wu Xin became increasingly venomous.

"why?"

"why are you?"

"If it weren't for you, I would have been the victor this time!"

"You shouldn't be here!"

He was truly unwilling to lose to such a 'newcomer' who had only recently joined the Holy Land and hadn't even stayed there for a full month.

Just because the other party had a good teacher, a good senior, and great talent, they trampled on their efforts of several years or even more than ten years in less than a year. He was really unwilling!

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the last shred of reason that No. 2 held onto was completely overwhelmed, and he chose to embrace another version of himself that he had always suppressed in his heart.

Chapter 43 Awakening the Demon Star

"Something seems off!"

Looking at the second soul that he had bound, Wu Xin frowned.

He felt as if a powerful force was awakening from the depths of the other person's soul.

Immediately afterwards, Number Two, who had been quiet, suddenly began to struggle again, with a much greater force than before.

"not good!"

Wu Xin was taken aback and quickly channeled his inner cosmos to strengthen the binding effect of the accumulated corpse energy.

However, the power that suddenly awakened in the second soul was far stronger than he had imagined. It instantly dissipated his accumulated corpse energy and then reunited with the body on the ground.

Moreover, as the soul and body reunited, an extremely pure aura of death emanated from Number Two's body.

"This...this is the aura of death from the underworld?"
