The Greece Antagonist

Meanwhile, within the Elysian Fields, where it was forever spring, the sky suddenly darkened. Lead-gray clouds converged in the midair, swirling into a turbulent vortex, the terrifying pressure suffocating the four people present, setting off alarm bells in their minds, and plunging their hearts into an abyss.

Oh no! Someone's coming!

And they're powerful!

Seeing the brand on Adonis's forehead growing increasingly bright, Luo En immediately understood the source of the disaster. Without a moment to lose, he grabbed Adonis by the neck and violently dragged him back into the Elysian Fields.

As they moved away from the gates that led to the outside world, the splitting headache that Cyprus Prince was suffering from eased significantly, but the hand gripping his neck pressed him down on the grass of the Elysian Fields, without a hint of relaxation.

"Buy me some time!"

Understanding the situation, Thetis immediately drew water from the rivers within the Elysian Fields. Employing her most proficient Illusion Technique, she conjured several squads of water phantoms resembling the four of them and carrying a trace of their aura, instructing them to scatter and flee through the Wall of Sighs' gates, thereby disrupting the perception of the formidable enemy.

"You, hold him down!"

Hearing this, Sisyphus decisively rushed over to Luo En, firmly restraining Adonis's limbs, his anxiety and unease abating slightly with busyness.

Don't panic, there's still a chance!

"O powerful Fire of Light, the mightiest of all origins, I humbly offer you poetry and wine!"

At the same time, Luo En's expression was taut with seriousness. With one hand, he retrieved a golden goblet from the formed Magic Circle Diagram and began rapidly chanting the blessing.

"I am the Shepherd of the Lamb, so it shall not want,

For He maketh it to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth it beside still waters.

He restoreth its soul, and guideth it in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though He walketh through the valley of the shadow of death, He will fear no evil; for Thou art with Him;

Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort Him.

In the presence of His foes, Thou preparest a table before the believer;

Anointing and branding him, Thou fillest my cup to overflowing.

Fill it, fill it, fill it, fill it, fill it.

—Have mercy upon this soul!"

In the Elysian Fields, also known as Paradise and Blissful Paradise, the Shepherd chanted an appropriate psalm, raising the golden goblet high in hand. Emerald grapevines grew wildly at his feet, the aether in the air so rich it seemed tangible, turning into a fragrant and sweet nectar that, guided by the vines, poured into the goblet, forming a shimmering purple-red liquid.

"If you don't want to die, open up!"

Accompanied by an icy chant and those deep, scrutinizing eyes, Adonis instinctively opened his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Luo En immediately shoved the Holy Grail into Adonis's mouth and roughly forced down the full goblet of wine.

In an instant, golden flames spread from Luo En's arm onto Adonis's body, igniting Cyprus Prince's fleshly form made manifest in the Elysian Fields, who emitted a sizzling sound as his skin cracked open.

Seeing this, Adonis panicked, his eyes brimming with terror.

"Ah, my body!"

"Shut up!"

Luo En threatened Adonis into silence with his sinister glare, then turned to Sisyphus, who was grimacing from the burns yet still firmly holding down Adonis, revealing a hint of admiration in his gaze.

That old trickster might be slippery, but he could be relied upon at crucial moments.

"The pain is good, did you think the things from the Netherworld would be so easily devoured? Drink it up!"

With a cold grunt, Luo En lifted his hand and threw the once-again filled goblet of wine over. Sisyphus quickly caught it and emptied the purple-red wine in one gulp.

With the prelude set, Luo En decisively pushed the Purification Authority flames to their extreme.

Immediately, flames of gold leapt several yards high from Adonis's body, parched flesh and bone carbonizing and peeling away in the fierce heat, turning into ashes that drifted on the wind.

But when Cyprus Prince and Sisyphus calmed down, they were surprised to find that this brutal fire punishment didn't cause them any pain—instead, it felt as if they were toasting before a fireplace at home, basking in comforting warmth.

It was like being near a beacon in a cold night, dispelling the chill on their bodies and illuminating the darkness before their eyes, clearing away all negative emotions from their minds, filling them with boundless courage bursting forth from within.

And during this process, the wine flowing into their bodies served as a kind of catalyst, leading the flames to purify and burn away all taints from Adonis's corrupt flesh, as well as the impurities within Sisyphus, leaving only the pure and spotless original state.

Finally, as the sound of chains snapping echoed through the void, two overwhelming black auras dissolved and crumbled under the scorching Purification Authority flames.

Adonis, stripped of the original spirit from his incarnate form, collapsed on the ground, gasping for air with a sense of gratitude for having survived a catastrophe.

Similarly, Sisyphus, who had been purified inside out by the flames, also could not help feeling relieved.

It was good that he had only drunk a few mouthfuls of Elysian Fields' river water and secretly eaten a few fruits—otherwise, he would have had to pay for his sins.

"Pfft!"

Just then, a repressed grunt came from ahead, and Thetis, who had been responsible for delaying, staggered as if struck by lightning, her pale face contrasting with the streak of divine blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Luo En's heart tightened, and he quickly rushed forward to catch the faltering Thetis.

"He's here, let's get out of here!"
