"Why don't you tell me why the Gorgon's head can't be turned into a drop item! This is the most famous thing in the whole story setting."

"Are you cosplaying Ace Attorney?"

"No, it's Danganronpa. The loser will die." Greenland took out a shotgun seriously and pointed the gun at the Ripper.

Apparently Greenland believes this is just a one-sided execution.

"Okay." The Ripper shrugged helplessly, took out a large crossbow from the warehouse, placed it on the table, and aimed at Greenland.

"I only have one response! How do you know that the Gorgon's head can't be used as a prop?"

"It's just a beheading, why are there so many rules and regulations? The most I allow you to do is to choose to be beheaded and then be left alone in a basket!"

"I can tell from the looks of it that you haven't watched the 86 version of Journey to the West." The Ripper shook his fingers. "Do you know that the ginseng fruit can only be taken out by hitting it with gold tools, and it will fall into the soil if it touches the soil?"

"What's wrong? Is the Gorgon's head still a ginseng fruit?"

Greenland raised her eyebrows. She felt that the Ripper just wanted to quarrel with her.

Cute guy!

"No, I'm just asking whether obtaining the Gorgon's head requires some specific procedures and containers before taking it away." The Ripper felt uncomfortable when he was looked at by Greenland's smiling eyes.

"And why are you so sure that in this world, Perseus succeeded?"

Chapter 663 Heart Island

Gorgon Island, a place that can only be reached by using a special teleportation crystal. This island is shrouded in fog, and going deep into the fog will only make you lose your way, and when you come to your senses, you will return to the island again.

It's like a place that will never be discovered.

Logically speaking, this should be a hidden leveling location, but the overly torturous enemies turned the island into a lost land that no one cared about.

Blaze easily obtained the island teleportation crystal and arrived at the island. Judging from the teleportation tower that was already covered with dust and cobwebs, it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

[Deliberately made old, please do not clean, especially the spider webs! 】

Blaze looked at the sign and hid his hands behind his back guiltily. He then started to smash all the spider webs.

"Okay, it's made to look old on purpose. Ahem... the territory of the Gorgons, do you know anything about that?" Blaze looked at the snake. He first had to rule out the possibility that the Gorgons might be a race with their own lives.

After all, it is normal to attack invaders in order to protect one's territory.

But unexpectedly, the snake did not answer the question directly, but spoke in a very serious but slightly depressed voice.

"How can you know if they are ugly if you don't see them with your own eyes or hear them with your own ears?"

Blaze stared into the snake's eyes in silence, and the snake quickly turned away.

"I understand. No matter what others say, I will go and see it with my own eyes."

The chicken never brought up the past on her own initiative. Even if she did, she only mentioned that she had a good relationship with the snake, but the squirrel said something in the middle, distorting the relationship between the two.

Perhaps the squirrel’s story is more complicated than we thought.

"So do you think the Gorgon is evil or just?" Blaze changed his tone, leaned closer to the snake, and smiled brightly.

"I have always been biased towards the people around me."

"This..." The snake took a small step back and lowered its head embarrassedly, its fingers entangled together, and after a long time it spoke in a low voice.

"According to past records, the Gorgon is a demon that lives in a lost land. Its ferocity is unquestionable, but no one can find its location unless someone guides them."

"Countless people have gone looking for it, but no one has ever returned alive."

"In other words, this is a monster that won't hurt anyone as long as no one finds it?" Blaze nodded, and then he wouldn't hesitate to take action.

However, the snake's words made him doubt.

"Wait, didn't come back alive? Then why would Aegis be associated with the Gorgons?"

"This is..." The snake shrank her neck, as if she was too embarrassed to say what she wanted to say. But Blaze wanted to know the content, so she leaned over and whispered in Blaze's ear.

"Oh - your circle is really messy."

Simply put, Aegis is a symbol of power, and the fur of the nurse Almathea wrapped around the basic shield means that the shield belongs to Zeus.

Zeus is the king of gods, and his throne will one day be passed on to his heirs. Among them, the heir chosen by fate is the goddess of wisdom Athena. Aegis, as a symbol of power, is also passed on to Athena.

As long as Athena left her own symbol on the Aegis, and Athena chose Medusa, a snake-haired demon with whom she had a certain connection, as long as the head of the snake-haired demon was embedded on the shield, the transfer of power would be completed.

But the throne is really tempting. Once you sit on it, you will change yourself, become greedy, and burst out with unprecedented evil.

This transfer of power failed, and Aegis was lost, never to be seen again.

But Blaze was more concerned with the snake's face and ears turning red with shyness than Zeus, the king of the gods, who was obsessed with his own status. The chicken chattered non-stop and was extremely curious about other people's gossip, while the snake was the complete opposite: it knew about it but was embarrassed.

It seems that gossip is a shameful thing.

The snake raised his hand and fanned his face while trying to control his voice.

"This is undoubtedly a conspiracy carried out by Zeus, because Aegis also disappeared in Zeus's hands, and one of the many heroes who went to harvest the Gorgons was a son of Zeus."

"You mean that Zeus gave Aegis to his offspring, and then deliberately made Aegis disappear in the battle against Medusa?"

Blaze subconsciously resisted this speculation. It was indeed a good strategy to hide Aegis around Medusa. The most conspicuous place was actually the safest.

But this also means that Zeus sacrificed his son without hesitation.

The snake saw what Blaze was thinking and just shook his head and said softly.

"The gods have complex and contradictory feelings. They want to give their offspring honors but are also greedy for the throne. In the end, they chose to flip a coin. The son of Zeus who came to this island also represents the goddess of wisdom, who is also the son of Zeus."

"This island is the paradoxical heart of Zeus."

"How cruel." Blaze sighed. He had nothing to say. After all, the father-son relationship between Odin and Balder was just a sarcasm towards each other most of the time.

But these were all things of the old age of the gods, and Blaze brushed them all off like dust on a cobweb.

"At least this is a clue. We just need to find the stone statue that is not a foreigner and check if there is Aegis on it."

As for how to identify a foreigner's stone statue, this should be the simplest thing in the world. Even if you put aside the strange costumes, you can tell from their expressions and movements.

Blaze left the beach and headed towards the island.

He saw two statues, one of which had a handsome face and angry eyes. Although there was fear in his expression, there was more courage.

The other nostril became enlarged, the philtrum was stretched, and the mouth was almost turned into an arc.

Ask, which one of them is the stranger.

I know which one it is with my eyes closed.

Blaze raised his fist and hit the head of the Stranger's stone statue, which shattered to the ground. The nearby challenges might have a chance to un-petrify and turn back into humans, but the Stranger's stone statue would only turn into a stone soldier and cause trouble.

As we went deeper into the island, we saw more and more stone statues of strangers, so many that it was really frightening. There were more of them than trees on the island.

"What do the strangers think of this place?" Blaze didn't know whether he should continue to destroy the stone statues of strangers, because some strangers began to pose, as if they wanted to make a stone statue of themselves.

What can prove this is that next to a stone statue posing with a sword raised, there is a series of stone statues trying to carry the statue away.

whoosh-

A slender snake tail crossed the shadow of the stone statue, and the plump half-snake, half-human creature slowly surrounded it.

Chapter 664: Instant Death Skills Will Meet Their Nemesis

Blaze turned around and a beautiful woman faced him.

She was extremely beautiful, but she had no hair. A nest of snakes coiled on her head. As Blaze turned her head, all the poisonous snakes roared at the same time, and her eyes emitted a strange light.

[Gorgon LV100]

[Born from blood, as beautiful and deadly as its mother]

[If you look into its eyes you will be turned into stone] is an unreasonable instant death attack, and the Gorgon, including the snakes on its head, all possess this instant death ability.

Blaze felt jealous for the first time. This instant death ability was really useful. Even if the information was exposed, it would force the opponent to close his eyes and give up his strength.

In order to vent his jealousy and the fact that his instant-death skill was repeatedly targeted by the immortal, Blaze decided to play a trick on the Gorgon in front of him.

He is [blind] and can see more clearly with his eyes closed than with his eyes open.

Isn't it the perfect counter to petrification and instant death?

The Gorgon obviously didn't react. She waved her hand in front of Blaze's eyes, as if she realized that Blaze was a blind man.

The Gorgon paused for a moment, and all the sounds including the snakes on its head stopped. Then its mouth opened and expanded like a snake, and slowly swallowed Blaze's head.

boom--

Blaze punched the Gorgon in the stomach, then turned around and kicked the Gorgon below the ribs before she flew away.

[Visceral Strike] x [Fatal Execution]

The Gorgon swelled up into a ball in an instant, and then with a bang it turned into pieces all over the sky, and a ball of soul fire floated in front of Blaze.

Just as Blaze was about to reach out to grab it, an arrow shot from behind. The dark werewolf stood up from the shadows, raised his hand and grabbed the arrow.

Hiss——

The arrow was shot out, and the snake tail was wrapped around the tree. The Gorgon hidden in the shadows made a threatening sound. This movement made Blaze and the shadow werewolf look over subconsciously, and the Gorgon showed a triumphant smile.

But the shadow werewolf casually threw the arrow in his hand towards the Gorgon, and the arrow pierced the Gorgon's head.

Blaze kept his eyes closed, and the shadow werewolf was not a living being.

The Gorgons' unstoppable petrification attracted their nemesis.

However, Gorgons are just like any other powerful beings with the ability of instant death. They do not completely rely on petrification to kill, and they train their bodies quite seriously.

An extremely huge Gorgon appeared in front of Blaze, and its huge python-like tail hit the stone statue beside it, shattering it instantly.

The thick snake tail was like a whip. Every swing caused a sonic boom at the end. And as the number of swings increased, the speed of the tail was as fast as a beam of light.

[Tail Drift S] can swing the tail as fast as light, launching a fatal blow that seems to be a self-sacrificing blow.

Snapped--

When Blaze heard the roar, he was already flying out, and he rolled on the ground for a while before he stabilized his body.

Smoke was coming out of his palm where the snake's tail hit him.

[Blind Eyes] could catch the Gorgon's tail swing, but he could only instinctively make a defensive posture and had no time to counterattack.

If he had not learned the [Berserk Spell], which greatly increased the upper limit of his strength, this attack would probably have destroyed his palm.

On the other hand, the Gorgon's tail was also covered in blood.

"The skills are amazing." Blaze waved his hands. The Gorgon's amazing attack came from a skill that broke through the limit.

Until now, proficiency A was the limit of what a blessed person could achieve. While rare among monsters, it did exist. And Blaze's proficiency Z was acquired through unrepeatable coincidences from monsters and gods.

The stranger has been looking for ways to break through the limits, but it seems that there is no way so far. The blessing is like a collar that locks the blessed person.

It is as if the Age of Gods has always been a shadow covering the world, and no matter how people in this world run, they cannot escape from the shadow.

Blaze thought of Cyrene, the smooth-talking guy whose face was full of fatigue and anticipation when he talked about how the Sun Ritual could completely end the Age of Gods and usher in a new era.

Roar——

Blaze raised his head and saw the Gorgon demon, holding a round shield in one hand and a scimitar in the other, pointing at him.

"I'm sorry I left you alone."

Hiss—

The Gorgon swung the scimitar in her hand, creating a dazzling flash of light, and the snake tail under her body swung dizzyingly.

Which will attack next, the knife or the tail?

boom--

The Gorgon froze and slowly lowered her head, a large charred hole appearing on her chest.

Blaze spun the [Mistine] in his hand, and blew towards the smoking muzzle. The maximum firepower shot easily penetrated the heart of the Gorgon, clearing its health.

However, it seemed that because his attributes were too high, the attack that pierced the heart turned into a hole in the Gorgon's chest.

Blaze walked up to the Gorgon, which was gradually turning into dust, and picked up the shield that the Gorgon dropped.

【Mirror Shield】

[Glowing——]
