"Is Typhon also related to the desert?" Kaito asked unconsciously.
"Yes," Erica nodded, with fear taking over her heart. "The ancient Greek writers believed that the Greek god of evil Typhon was the Egyptian god Set, and their experiences were similar.
And Set was both a god of the desert and a god of storms.
Kaito was stunned and then began to complain.
How much do the Heretic Gods in the world of Champione like to play with the Trinity?
The cultists in the center of the altar suddenly screamed, clutching their eyes and body.
Blood flowed and strong sandstorms surrounded them.
An evil god is an evil god after all; one must be prepared to pay the price when it is invoked.
Something eerie and malignant was emerging.
Erica's breathing accelerated and her forehead and palms were covered in cold sweat.
The power of the Heretic God made the genius knight feel fear from the bottom of her heart.
This was still the influence before its descent.
If it descended completely, Erica would even believe that she would have a mental breakdown and her consciousness would dissipate the moment she saw Typhon.
"We must abandon this cursed place quickly! The Heretic God is about to descend! We have to inform Uncle and Salvatore Doni as soon as possible, or Milan will be ruined!"
The confidence of the genius witch was shattered in an instant by the Heretic God.
This confidence, built on strength and an optimistic attitude towards everything, once shattered, was followed by uncontrollable fear.
Kaito did not know if Erica was aware of her current state.
He simply felt that she was a bit nervous now.
Gripping her hand tightly, the girl, seized with terror, dragged Kaito and fled towards the outside of the cave.
The world outside the cave had already suffered drastic changes.
Violent storms ravaged the land, and lava and volcanic ash erupted from the volcano, darkening the sky, turning everything gray.
Silver lightning snakes danced in the clouds, and the rising sandstorm began to blow towards the center of Milan.
The Heretic God, based on myths created by humans, would naturally only be interested in places filled with human habitation.
In a few minutes, the entire city was engulfed in a sandstorm.
The sudden and harsh weather plunged the city into panic, and government departments were paralyzed; ordinary residents could only take refuge in nearby buildings to escape the disaster.
Only magicians felt the immense magical power rising in the air.
This was a sign of the descent of the Heretic God.
Erica continued to pull Kaito and ran towards a nearby ruined house in search of refuge.
Outside, there was scorching volcanic ash and storms; ordinary people could not stay outside for even a second.
"Typhon is the most terrifying demon god in Greek mythology, and as a descending heretic god, it must be even more terrifying than described in the myths!"
Erica spoke while panting.
The girl looked out again.
"We will all die here."
Kaito, who had been listening in silence, shook his head in helplessness: "The more nervous you are, the more you get; you taught me that simple truth."
That only applies in normal times; facing something like this head-on is absolutely impossible! And I'm very calm!
Erica crouched on the ground, burying her face in her knees.
A strong feeling of humiliation and powerlessness arose in her heart; for a god, the talents and abilities of mortals were no more than ants found everywhere on the side of the road.
The girl had now lost confidence and hope in herself; even if Salvatore or Paolo rescued her, she would still lose confidence to grow in the future.
After all, no matter how strong humans are, they cannot defeat a Heretic God.
"Heretic Gods are not true gods, and were the god killers also mortals in the past?"
Unexpectedly, Kaito did not feel the fear.
Perhaps he had an open mind, or perhaps it was because of the True Longinus.
"I... Ahh!"
Erica, who was about to say something, suddenly screamed.
Because Kaito suddenly lifted her up and then gave her a strong slap on the buttocks.
The pain stimulated her brain, followed by a feeling of humiliated indignation.
The delicate body of the girl had never been touched by any man before.
This boy was the first!
What are you doing? Do you want to insult me before we die?
Erica said angrily, clutching her buttocks, which might have a five-finger mark.
"Even if you do, I haven't done it yet." Kaito looked at Erica, who had finally returned to normal: "Then, you can wait here or return to the Magic Society."
The girl caught the key phrase and quickly asked: "And you?"
"What about me?"
A golden sacred lance appeared in Kaito's hand.
Do you need to ask? Of course, I'm going to kill a god.
A faint light enveloped Kaito's entire body, and the aura emanating from him suddenly gave Erica a strange feeling of tranquility.
"Now is not the time to play hero; come with me!"
Erica knew clearly that only Heretic Gods and god killers could face a Heretic God.
There was still a chance to live now.
Most importantly, she did not want to see Kaito die.
"Don't worry, my dear lady, I'm a person who appreciates life very much, and I'm still a virgin, so how could I actively seek death?"
Kaito shook his head in helplessness.
Well, stay here. It will be a good opportunity for you to see how an ordinary person kills a god.
"Zumbido-!"
Kaito activated the Balance Breaker variant of the True Longinus.
Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin
A ball of light appeared behind Kaito, containing the image of an elephant.
The Elephant Treasure could grant the ability to fly.
Under the dark sky, a black fog quickly gathered into a humanoid creature about a hundred meters tall.
A red light emerged from it, looking at Kaito with eyes full of disgust and malice.
"There is an aura in you that I detest."
The first part of its face that appeared was extremely horrible, its giant mouth opened to reveal a grotesque smile.
Although the biblical mythology and Greek mythology are not directly related.
The God of the Bible symbolizes light, and as the father of demons, Typhon is definitely a natural sworn enemy.
Then the head, body, and limbs of Typhon appeared.
Soon, a giant that spat fire, taller than a mountain, appeared.
A hundred snake heads writhing, a body covered in feathers, and gigantic black wings on its back.
A member of the Titans in ancient Greek mythology, the son of the Earth Mother Gaia and the god of the underworld, the father of demons, the ancestor of all monsters, who provoked storms, played with the gods, the evil god, symbol of evil: Typhon.
"Heretic God from another land, do you dare to defy me?"
The sound was deafening.
Perhaps some people might think that Typhon is great, but from Kaito's perspective, facing it, Typhon's appearance was completely repulsive.
A human body with a snake tail, where only its head retained some human form, the rest were all monstrous features.
Typhon had a standard ancient god physique; in all of Apollodorus' mythology, Typhon's power and physique crushed all the gods born from the Earth Mother Gaia.
In the midst of the howling wind, Typhon's body finally solidified into a physical form.
"How disgusting."
The snake heads and writhing tentacles made Kaito's heart beat with fear.
Although he possessed a god-killing weapon, his worldview still belonged to a human, the excellent young man who used to reflect on how to politely reject numerous love letters.
"Hmph!"
Perhaps Typhon heard Kaito's murmurs; the ancient evil god took a step forward.
The storm was as sharp as blades, the sand was violently agitated, and the earth trembled.
The grass-covered terrain was slowly turning into a desert and was clearly extending towards the center of Milan.
Foreign god from another land, why don't you respond? Do you despise me, ancestor of all monsters? Even the King of the Gods was flayed and disembowelled by me!
Kaito's silence enraged Typhon; this world was already full of evil and immense magical power.
Impressive. Then come and hit me.
Since he had decided to kill a god, Kaito stopped being indecisive; after abandoning his remaining nervousness, he instead actively provoked Typhon.
Additionally, due to the residual presence of the God of the Bible in the True Longinus, Typhon seemed to have mistaken Kaito for a Heretic God.
This was also the reason why Typhon did not immediately strike him to death.
"I'd like to see if my lance is faster or your tentacles."
The Elephant Treasure granted Kaito an extremely convenient flying ability.
As he did not need to absorb nearby magical power, the divine power did not affect him at all.
Typhon cursed Kaito's existence in divine language, cursing this ordinary transmigrant who was not a god at all.
Upon hearing the foul language of this evil god, Kaito activated the Balance Breaker variant again.
The figure of the black-haired youth appeared instantly in another location, causing Typhon to hit nothing but air.
"Hahahahaha! Foreign god from another land, you are so weak! Just like the gods of Olympus, who, when faced with the great Typhon, flee like sheep in a hurry!"
Typhon laughed loudly, like a giant bellows.
In mythology, when Typhon attacked Mount Olympus by throwing huge rocks and spitting fire, all the gods, including Zeus, fled in panic, and Zeus even turned into a sheep and led the escape.
The gods, once majestic, abandoned their dignity, transformed into various animals, and followed the sheep from Greece to Egypt.
It was really an animated scene, like going to a big zoo.
Typhon, laughing loudly, again threw scorching flames from his snake heads, melting the desert and rocks.
Kaito frowned, activating the power of the Layman's Jewel, causing the flames to hit the clone he left behind.
"Zumbido-!"
Kaito, who was not limited to receiving blows, held the True Longinus; absorbed the scarce magical power within Kaito, and the white light gathered from the brilliant tip of the lance.
In the next second, a burst of light appeared, and a light ball shot out quickly from the tip of the lance, expanding several times in flight, turning into a light sphere with a diameter of five or six meters, strongly hitting Typhon's descending palm.
"Auge-!"
