I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Chapter 66 Shield of Athena

King Acrisios of Argos learned from a divine revelation that he would be killed by the son of his daughter Danae, so he imprisoned his daughter in a copper tower.

Zeus turned into a golden rain and met Danae, and they gave birth to one word, Perseus.

After Perseus was born, Acrisios put Perseus and his mother Danae in a chest and threw them into the sea. Zeus protected the mother and son who were drifting in the sea, and guided the box through the wind and waves. Finally, the box drifted to the island of Serifos, close to the coast.

There were two brothers on the island, Dictys and Polydectes, who ruled the island of Seriphos. Dectis was fishing on the beach. He saw a wooden box floating in the water and quickly pulled it to the shore. After returning home, the two brothers sympathized with the abandoned people and took them in.

Polydectes, the brother of Dictys, fell in love with his mother, the beautiful Danae, and he wanted to send Perseus away to prevent him from ruining the good deeds between himself and his mother. Perseus had already seen through his face. At the banquet hosted by Polydectes, he took the initiative to give Polydectes a gift, but Polydectes asked for it with evil intentions. The head of Medusa, the younger sister of the three Gorgon sisters and known as the Gorgon.

Medusa was once a beautiful goddess, but she was cursed by Athena and turned into a body with a rattlesnake, her hair was made of venomous snakes, her skin was made of bronze scales, and she had golden wings on her back. Anyone who looked into her eyes would be immediately turned into a stone sculpture. The ugly monster is just defined as ugly. However, anyone who has seen the image of Medusa knows that although she is a foreign girl, she is actually quite beautiful, whether it is a portrait sculpture or a card with a moon shape. (Friends who are interested may wish to take a look at the sculptures that have been handed down to this day. They are really beautiful.)

The young, energetic, resolute and courageous Perseus was not afraid of challenges, so he packed his bags and set off on his journey.

The gods gave their blessing to this brave young man (Athena wanted to kill Medusa completely and planned everything secretly).

Hades lent his cloak, Athena lent his shield, and Hephaestus lent his flying shoes and Serpent Scythe. Relying on these treasures and his own wit and strength, Perseus successfully cut off Medusa's head.

After Medusa died, her head still retained the terrifying ability to become petrified. In order to prevent himself from being petrified, Perseus put Medusa's head in a bag he carried with him and dedicated the head to Athena.

After Perseus died, Zeus raised him to the sky and became the Perseus. This well-known legend was sublimated into an extremely powerful Noble Phantasm.

The thing Shinji used to kill the monsters summoned by Zouken and Caster was the Medusa-killing Sickle made by Hephaestus;

The petrified insect swarm is part of Medusa's head - the petrified evil eye Cybele.

The sealed Zang Inkstone that absorbs most of the soul is a bag containing the monster's head.

What carries him flying under the night is the feather shoes for walking in the air lent by Hephaestus.

What changes his appearance and hides his figure is the cloak lent by Hades.

The shield lent by Athena was used to resist the tentacle strikes. Like Iskandar's chariot, it is a combined Noble Phantasm, and it is the only chance of victory that Shinji has found.

According to legend, after Perseus returned the shield and presented Medusa's head, Athena fixed Medusa's head in the center of the shield, turning the shield that was purely used for defense into an offensive and defensive treasure. aegis changes from Aegis of Aegis to Aegis of Athena.

Because the inlaying of Medusa's head was done by Athena herself and does not belong to the legend of Perseus, Perseus's noble phantom is still the head and shield separated.

Petrification is a gradual process from the outside in. Even with the highest level of petrification magic eyes like Medusa, it will take about ten seconds to petrify a huge tentacle.

The Eye of Medusa is the most expensive of the listed treasures. It requires Shenji to concentrate all the magic power in his body. At this time, he cannot use magic to strengthen body functions. Ten seconds are enough to petrify part of him with his tentacles. Shoot to death.

In order to win, Shinji deliberately let the tentacles wrap around his body and revealed the shield first, regardless of the consumption of magic power. Under the protection of the shield, Shinji bought enough time to successfully recreate the legend of Athena's Shield.

Now, the shield unique to Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, is completed.

Gorgon's monster queen, Medusa, the Gorgon, opens her eyes!

The underground waterway illuminated by the golden light from the shield instantly dimmed, just like the dark shadow cast in the center of the shield. Everything seen by the golden snake eyes was covered in cyan and gray, accompanied by a slight click Voice.

Under the petrification magic eye Kubler, objects with magic power of C level and below will be unconditionally petrified, regardless of organic life forms or inorganic non-life forms.

The tentacle monster that bore the brunt of the attack began to turn into stone from its surface, and the signs of petrification soon spread to its mouthparts and stones.

At this time, the tentacle monster has not yet realized the danger, and is still tightening. The friction and squeezing between the petrified part, which is not very hard, and the divine shield has only one result - it will disintegrate and turn into stone chips scattered on the ground.

After a few seconds, the tentacles in front of the shield were completely destroyed. The most important aspect of this skill is the continuity of the entanglement. If one part is uncontrolled, the entanglement will be released naturally.

After the crisis passed, it was Shinji's turn to fight back.

He didn't bother to check his body's injuries, and immediately put away the Shield of Athena, and used his backhand to attack with a sickle blade combo.

Now that he has obtained Perseus's Noble Phantasm, of course he must make good use of it. Half of the physical skills Shinji learned are related to the sickle blade.

The long years have allowed Scathach to master the use of all weapons in the world, including the scythe. Under her guidance, Shinji has made great progress in the use of the scythe.

He no longer only knows how to swing around with strength and the special effects of the Noble Phantasm like he did when he killed Zang Yan. He knows how to hook, how to pull, how to tease, how to cut, and how to combine various basic movements into a combo. hit.

This set of combos first uses the outer blade of the Scythe of the Snake to slash all the way from the upper right to the lower left, then uses the inner blade to hook and pull with the backhand, and finally ends with a horizontal slash.

In the blink of an eye, the tentacle monster that wreaked havoc and destroyed a large area of ​​underground water network was torn apart. The special effect of bending life and extending life deprived the tentacle of its regeneration ability, and it had only one fate - destruction.

PS: Let me reiterate, Heroic Spirits do not have job profiles. Perseus can only use one Noble Phantasm at a time due to the restriction of the Rider job profile. What Shinji got was all the Noble Phantasms sublimated by the legend of Perseus, as long as his magic power can sustain it. It's not impossible to stay fully armed.

PS2: The best example of the petrified evil eye targeting inorganic objects is in Chapter 7 of FGO. Leonidas used his shield to resist the evil eye of the demon king Medusa, but he was petrified with his shield.
