Chapter 349: Chapter 176: The Battle of the Sagittarius Temple. Camus, Where is Your Cloth? (Part 1)

Inside the hall of the Sagittarius Temple, the dome was painted with a dazzling star map, making it seem as though the entire starry sky had been moved indoors.

At this moment, however, the endless nebulas were shrouded in biting, freezing air. The icy coldness crept along the stone crevices, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the ground.

The former Aquarius Gold Saint, Dégel, stood at the entrance of the hall, a trace of surprise flashing in his pale blue eyes. He could clearly perceive the aura of the ultimate principles of ice contained within the freezing air. This was distinctly the power of an Aquarius Saint. Why was this person not guarding the Aquarius Temple, appearing in the Sagittarius Temple instead?

"Don’t get distracted!" Beside him, the former Sagittarius, Sisyphus, gripped Dégel’s shoulder, his voice deep. "The battle in this temple belongs to me. We don’t have much time left. You must hurry to the Temple of Athena as quickly as possible."

As his words fell, a golden Cosmo ignited around Sisyphus, instantly dispelling the freezing air that permeated the hall.

The illusion before their eyes scattered, revealing two Saints clad in Bronze Cloths standing before them.

Hyoga wore the Cygnus Bronze Cloth, his body radiating a biting cold; the brilliance of Absolute Zero caused the very air in the hall to freeze. Shun wore the Andromeda Bronze Cloth, with his Nebula Chain actively slithering around his body like a living creature. The links gleamed with a cold light, resembling a coiled python ready to deliver a fatal strike at any moment.

Sisyphus’s eyes instantly turned cold. He slowly nodded, grasped the bow on his back with his right hand, and drew an arrow that flashed with a purple-black light. He stated in a deep voice, "Step aside. I will not hold back with this arrow!"

The only answer he received was the silent, unwavering persistence of the two Bronze Saints.

Hyoga and Shun stepped forward simultaneously. An ice wall instantly materialized in front of Hyoga, while Shun’s Nebula Chain wove a defensive net before him, making it clear they had no intention of backing down.

"Hmph, then let’s see if you can block this arrow!"

The Underworld arrow shot out like a comet. The power behind this shot shattered spatial constraints directly, containing a mighty force capable of piercing right through stars.

Hyoga and Shun did not dare lower their guard. Hyoga unleashed his greatest ultimate technique, Aurora Execution, attempting to freeze the incoming projectile. However, the immense penetrating force and tyrannical Cosmo power contained within the golden arrow caused the solid ice to continuously shatter!

Shun’s Nebula Chain wove layer upon layer of defensive nets in an attempt to intercept the arrow. As the chain and the arrow collided, ear-piercing sounds of grinding metal and energy explosions rang out; sparks flew in all directions as the chain wailed in distress.

Yet, the sheer impact of the golden arrow still sent both of them flying into the air. Coughing up blood, they crashed heavily onto the ground...

With just a single strike, Sisyphus had defeated the two Bronze Saints.

"Although your power has surpassed the Bronze tier and reached the level of Gold Saints, attempting to stop us is simply overestimating your own capabilities!"

He did not follow up with a killing blow against the two. Putting away his bow, he led the remaining former Saints through the Sagittarius Temple.

Just as they were about to step out of the Sagittarius Temple, Hyoga’s unwavering voice rang out from behind!

"Wait! The battle is not over yet!"

Sisyphus turned his head, his pupils contracting sharply. Amidst a blizzard, a white bird was dancing gracefully!

...

Inside the cold stone hall of the Capricorn Temple, sword aura ran rampant.

The floor and the stone pillars within the hall were covered in cuts as smooth as mirrors. Shura’s arm had transformed into the sharpest Holy Sword, radiating an indestructible, cutting edge.

The Capricorn Saint was the sharpest sword in the Goddess’s hands, and Shura carried out the conviction of the Holy Sword to the absolute limit!

El Cid’s sword intent, however, was far more restrained and pure. Having been tempered thousands of times during the previous Holy War and returning to its original simplicity, his Holy Sword was significantly sharper than Shura’s.

The duel between the Capricorns featured no flashy techniques—only the most direct and lethal slashes!

"Excalibur!" the two shouted in low voices simultaneously.

Golden sword lights, like a heaven-cleaving divine punishment, clashed instantly in the center of the temple!

Clang!
