Chapter 52: Campione(2)
"Aeternum"
"Dominus Temporis"
Noah summoned his device to control the wind to make himself float, although Noah's original flying speed was not fast, but under the increase in the speed of time, he was able to fly across the sky quickly.
(Ps: Aeternum has elemental manipulation abilities based on Noah's mastery of time and space.)
In the past three years, apart from practicing previous skills, Noah also learned various new abilities, one of which was wind manipulation. Although currently it is only able to make Noah fly. Based on his manipulation of space and time, Noah can control all natural phenomena in that space, such as the elements water, fire, wind, thunder, and so on. It's just that if you want to master this element, it will be more difficult because this element is only a by-product of Noah's concept of space and time, not a separate element concept.
Seeing Noah attack without fear, Verethragna took out his golden sword before flying towards Noah. Verethraghna's speed was extremely fast even without using the bird of prey incarnation.
"Bet"
Seeing Verethragna's flying speed, Noah tried to slow down Verethragna's speed as much as possible.
Verethragna felt his flying speed slow down, but he didn't care and continued to attack Noah with his golden sword.
Ding...ding...
The sound of iron clashing was heard in the sky, every thrust of Noah's spear was unable to hit Verethragna and was always parried by his sword.
As the god of war, Verethragna's martial arts are of course very high and not many war gods can match Verethragna's martial arts.
Noah swept his spear towards Verethragna's head but it was easily blocked by Verethragna's vertical sword slash.
As Verethragna parried Noah's attack, he twisted his wrist before slashing Noah diagonally from Noah's left shoulder downwards. Sensing danger, Noah intended to retreat but suddenly Verethragna changed the direction of his attack and stabbed Noah's left shoulder with his sword.
"Dallet"
Moving away from Verethragna, Noah healed his wounds and torn clothes.
"Oh? I didn't expect to meet a human who visa mastered the power of time to such an extent. If you have as much magic power as Campion, then it is not impossible to make your power of time rival the authority of a god" said
Verethragna was surprised to see that Noah was also able to make time go backwards to heal his wounds.
Reverse time is different from slowing down time, it requires deeper mastery and great magic power.
"Then will you sacrifice for me and be the first god I kill?" Noah said jokingly, having no fear of gods.
"Hahahah... interesting, if you are capable then take my head yourself, young soldier" Instead of being angry at Noah's harsh words, Verethragna actually laughed.
"Then let's start the second round, Verethragna" said Noah while grinning and flying towards Veretragna.
Until now, Verethragna had not used his authority, he had only competed with Noah using his martial arts.
While Noah and Verethragna were fighting, Erica, who was left behind by Noah, finally arrived.
When she saw that Noah was able to fight against the God of War for such a long time, she couldn't help showing surprise on her face.
"I didn't expect him to be that strong, I was afraid that only Campiones and Heretic Gods could defeat him" Erica said with surprise.
"That's right, it's no wonder he wasn't worried that I would take the Prometheus Slate back at that time," said Lucretia who suddenly appeared beside Erica.
Since Noah had recovered her strength, she could now move freely and of course she would watch their fight, unlike in the original work, where she couldn't move.
"Young warrior, I will be serious from now on" said Verethragna as he began to activate his authority.
"He who is evil and he who is strong, Fear me who has wings, for my wings will bring a curse to you. And he who is evil will not be able to stop me"
Although the spell from the authority seemed long, it would basically be completed in an instant, otherwise, they would be attacked while casting the spell.
After Verethragna used his authority, he disappeared in a flash and was faster than teleportation.
Before Noah could react, he was hit in the chest and flew backwards.
"Dallet"
While flying backwards, Noah without hesitation recovered his wounds, before concentrating "Dominus temporis" around ten meters around him and slowing down time around him to the maximum in order to slow down Verethragna's speed.
Verethragna appeared beside Noah and slashed vertically. seeing the slash coming, Noah took advantage of the spear's length to attack Verethragna first and force her to retreat.
'I have to end this quickly, if he uses any other authority, I will immediately lose, it looks like I have to rely on the Prometheus Slate' Noah thought when he saw that Erica and Lucretia had arrived at this place.
"Zayin"
Seeing Verethragna appear three meters away from him, Noah used almost all his magic power to freeze Verethragna's time for a moment to make Verethragna unable to dodge the White Stallion's attack.
..Neighhh...
The sound of horses sounded from the Prometheus Slate, before a white horse with golden flames on its body appeared.
After appearing the horse turned into a golden beam of light towards Verethragna and burned him to ashes.
Seeing this, Noah immediately teleported and appeared beside Erica, because he knew Verethragna was not dead and would soon be resurrected using his Ram incarnation.
When Noah used the White Stallion, he managed to steal Verethragna's golden sword, now all he had to do was ask for knowledge about Verethragna from Erica.
Even though in the anime it is only a few sentences, the fact is that knowledge about gods cannot be converted into a few sentences, therefore he needs Erica's help to transfer all the knowledge about Verethragna.
"Did you succeed?" Erica asked when she saw Noah appear beside her.
"Not yet, he will be resurrected soon, Erica, I need your help, quickly tell me all the knowledge about Verethragna" Noah said quickly. Since they had lived together for several days, they were no longer just strangers, although not friends, but at least they were acquaintances.
Hearing Noah's words, Erica was stunned for a moment before seeming to remember something.
"You have to be responsible, this is my first kiss" Erica said with a red face before wrapping her arms around Noah's neck.
"Sure," Noah answered briefly.
Hearing Noah's answer, Erica closed her eyes and approached Noah's lips before their lips touched.
Opening their mouths, their tongues continued to wrestle and taste each other's taste.
After a while, they separated their lips and pulled out a long transparent silver thread before breaking off.
Noah immediately used the golden sword he stole from Verethragna.
When Noah summoned the golden sword, Verethragna also happened to be resurrected.
As soon as Verethragna got up, he was immediately dragged into a world filled with golden swords and was stabbed by swords and prevented him from moving.
"Verethragna is a god of victories with ten incarnations. This power allows him to be an extremely versatile and powerful god in combat.
Verethragna was a god who had also dominated over kings, and under the widespread worship of the Parthian and Sassanid Empires, he became a patron saint of the people. The symbol that best represented him was the wind, where he would transform into a gust of wind to protect people, and travelers would often recite prayers to or leave small figures of him on the street to pray for a safe journey.
Verethragna is often associated with Hercules, with the bull symbolizing strength.
While Verethragna was a god of victory, he was also a defender of kingship, which the ram possessed the deepest relationship with. In ancient times when herding could be equated with wealth, the sheep, able to grow quickly and reproduce with abundance, was a symbol of vitality and prosperity. Thus, the power to represent vitality was a perfect representation of the sheep that exhibited these traits.
Verethragna has a relationship with Zeus. The Greek god of the heavens Zeus was also intimately linked to the Goat, and the connection between him and Verethragna is further strengthened when considering that Verethragna was often equated with Heracles, the son of Zeus. He also shares close ties to the thunder god Indra"
Every time Noah recited Verethragna's origins, a golden sword would stab Verethragna. When Noah finished reading Verethragna's Origin, all the golden swords scattered around the world stabbed Verethragna and killed him.
"Impressive, impressive, young warrior. You are the only god slayer who has stolen my authority. Remain stronger than others! Remain invincible until we fight again!" Verethragna said before he returned to mythology.
Leaning against Erica, Noah watched Verethragna's death with exhaustion on his face. This was the first time he fought until he exhausted his physical strength and magic power before he could kill his opponent.
"Erica, look after me for a moment" said Noah before losing consciousness.
"Yes, my king" Erica said softly and let Noah lie on her lap.
