I ask you, descendants of free citizens...
What is the name of the legendary hero who killed the snake-woman Medusa?
Perseus!
What is the name of the hero who defeated the monster
that vengefully pursued the beauteous Andromeda?
Perseus!
What is the name of the King who has returned to mighty Argos?
Perseus!
This is the perfect location for a duel!
I like it here, God-slayer!
It seems you're a god who likes attention.
A hero and a god-slayer...
Would you have preferred to fight a legendary battle with no witnesses?
Let's get started.
Indeed.
From here on, let us speak only through our instruments of war.
Here I come!
Godou Kusanagi...
Togisumashi

CAMPIONE! Kirisaite

The moon is beautiful tonight.
Let us meet at the most distinct location in the vicinity.
Liliana should hurry
The Turbulent Demon King, The Sun Hero Liliana should hurry
The Turbulent Demon King, The Sun Hero and use her teaching technique.
The Turbulent Demon King, The Sun Hero W-W-Wait! Why do I have to...
You are the one who received a divination from Athena,
so who else could use a teaching technique?
C-Couldn't I just tell him verbally?
You're going to verbally teach him all this?
Is there any other way?
Then I guess we'll go with Plan B?
I shall be the recipient of your teaching technique, Liliana.
And then, I'll use mine on Kusanagi...
You can't do that!
Besides, the fact that I'd need to teach him by locking lips...
Who cares? It's just a kiss.
The first boy I kiss should be
the one meant for me!
At least, that would be nice...
It isn't really such a serious a wish...
Erica Blandelli would most likely say something like this:
"I can't believe you, Lili.
If people saw me laughing this hard,
they would think of me less of a lady."
Karen!
Oh, where are you going?
Just a quick bathroom break.
Have you never before
considered that Godou may be the one?
You two were defeated together by the god Perseus,
and now you seek to face him once more.
Th-That's true...
It doesn't matter which god you confront.
You both will fight to prevail, relying on your strong relationship.
Doesn't that sound a lot like fate to you?
D-Don't be ridiculous!
Besides, Godou Kusanagi has a mistress, Erica...
Humans have always sought to steal love from others.
Actually, shouldn't Kusanagi have returned by now?
Yeah, come to think of it...
All right...
And where are you going?
You caught up pretty quickly.
Godou Kusanagi,
why would you not do all you can to win?
Well, I mean, I want to...
Then give me the order... To transmit the divination via teaching technique.
I won't do that.
Why not?
Fighting gods is a King's sole duty.
You have the special right to compel us normal humans to yield to you.
Don't try to make me sound special.
The only reason I've been risking my life, fighting these gods,
is because I'm the only one here to do it.
My King...
Please stop that.
Huh?
I think someone should
only be called "King" after they've accomplished some feat to earn it.
I'm not that qualified.
Because this is your belief,
you will not give me orders?
I-I guess...
Also,
you only just escaped from that old man, Voban...
It'd be pretty uncool if I acted the same way.
Anyway, that's settled.
W-Wait!
I've come for you, God-slayer!
Perseus!
Now, let us abandon restraint here,
in the place most fitting for us!
A duel against the hero god...
This is turning out pretty well.
I'm not finished!
Irritating trickery.
If you're labeled a King,
don't you think there is a better way to fight?
I like to win,
even if it isn't elegant in the least.
Then let us see how far that will take you.
Sun that rises in the East, grant me power.
Become the steel hammer that will crush Verethragna!
Useless...
My arrow never misses, and it will hit you once again!
Godou Kusanagi!
I would've died, had that struck my head.
Are you all right?
Yeah, it wasn't that bad.
What do you plan to do?
I'll figure it out.
You cannot...
With the sun god's name, whose power he carries,
he can seal Verethragna's Authorities.
Even so,
only I can fight a god.
Godou Kusanagi...
You...
I shall teach you how to allay your misgivings.
You say you're fighting the god because there's no one else who can.
I'm the same way!
If I alone can support you here, then I shall do all I can!
I am Liliana Kranjcar of the Bronze Black Cross.
From this point on, you will be master of my sword,
and I shall humbly offer you my loyalty.
I think I'll probably just get you into more trouble,
but thank you.
Then, my master, I have a request.
What is it?
Kiss me, please.
Are you saying that I must kiss you, but you will not kiss me?
Men should be the ones to initiate a kiss.
Yeah, but...
I have to be able to use
m-my teaching technique!
Do what you must for victory!
I understand.
I'll kiss you.
No, wait...
Weren't you going to use your power?
I c-couldn't do it just now.
I need you to kiss me more...
Be more at ease,
and open your heart.
O-Okay...
It isn't enough yet...
You have to kiss me more...
We must be connected more deeply...
You and I are a King and his knight.
So I won't let anyone,
not even Erica, criticize us.
Liliana...
I want you to do
whatever you'd like with me...
You are my King.
Oh, my master...
So, the modern God-slayer was this easy.
Or perhaps
the goddess of wisdom and victory has made a miscalculation?
Then, all I need do is drive him out!
This is...
How about round two, Perseus?
Or should I say, Mithra?!
The god I defeated was Verethragna,
the ancient Persian god of war, who served the sun god.
Now, borrowing the sun's protection,
I fire this arrow!
Light is overcome by a stronger light.
Then you have learned that law?
The source of that light
is Verethragna's master, the sun god Mithra.
Mithra is not a Persian god alone.
Even the ancient Romans worshipped him
in the guise of Mithras.
Persia lies east of the Roman Empire,
and the sun rises in the east, as well.
Saying "Mithras comes from the East"
has two distinct meanings.
You speak much,
but on the battlefield, only how you fight matters.
The Romans were aware of
another man who had come from the East.
That man was Perseus.
The easygoing Romans thought that the sun god,
who hailed from Persia, and the Greek hero were the same god,
thus birthing a new hero!
So you have cut through my name's origins?
I must commend you.
You are not a Greek hero!
You are the ancient Roman god Mithras, deity of the sun,
Perseus!
The power to seal Verethragna derives from Mithras, his former master.
And it is that radiance I sever!
Interesting that you would try to fight he who was once your master.
I recognize you now as my foe.
Tell me your name.
It is Godou Kusanagi!
I shall remember that name!
You have done well to slice through Mithras.
However...
This fight hasn't ended yet!
Godou Kusanagi!
For I am gallant, and what I display
is the sigil of the fierce Camel!
What?
Are you all right?
Yeah...
The Camel avatar grants incredible leg strength and stamina.
However, taking a major blow is a condition of its use.
That's...
Originally, I merely sought a little fun before my main course, Athena.
But you'll amuse me, won't you?
You sure have a lot of energy.
I see the brave maiden accompanies you.
Very well.
In that case, I shall kill the God-slayer,
magnificently saving the damsel in distress.
I am Godou Kusanagi's knight.
I have no need of rescue by you.
I like that attitude of yours.
However...
What did you do?
Don't you already know?
The dragons and serpents I slay are degraded forms of Mother Earth goddesses.
The women taken for marriage after their defeat by the hero
are the goddesses themselves,
having submitted to the hero.
So that is the divinity of steel, the serpent-killing hero?
Thus, as she is priestess to a goddess,
she must submit to me, and act to ensure my victory!
What?!
And so,
a hero may defeat an evil monster, with the aid of a priestess.
This is yet another of legend's laws.
Are you really okay with this guy controlling you?
I don't want this!
We only just got to know each other...
You said you would be my knight,
Liliana!
She cannot work against a hero god.
It is fate that priestesses submit to us.
Enough!
Then will you die by the hand of one who loves you?
I imagine you wouldn't mind. Right, Godou Kusanagi?
Liliana!
From the blood of the slain,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back.
From the fat of the mighty,
the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied.
Oh! For I wonder if the heroes have fallen in the midst of the battle.
Snap out of it...
Jonathan's bow, for you are a vessel of the hero,
swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
Snap out of it, Liliana!
With all speed, dispatch your enemy.
Liliana!
Are you okay?!
I am.
That was close, but I heard your voice.
I heard you call my name...
Can you fire that thing again?
I see...
Since ancient times, the power of love has been the strongest of weapons.
But I shall not lose!
We'll finish this now!
Jonathan's bow, for you are a vessel of the hero,
swifter than eagles, stronger than lions!
Liliana, now!
With all speed, dispatch your enemy!
What?!
This won't...
For one cannot come near you with ease.
Punish him for breaking the contract!
Destroy everything, including the stage!
All right.
Godou Kusanagi, hang in there.
I'll use my healing technique.
Magic doesn't work on a Campione's body...
I-I'll simply be healing him.
It's the same as CPR.
There shouldn't be any problem if I kiss him.
My master,
Godou Kusanagi.
It seems you've won.
A-Athena?!
He still has much to learn...
But you could say that he did well against that prankster.
Here is my apology for dragging you into this fight.
I shall heal those wounds you bear.
W-W-Wait a second!
A second time?!
It was the reward for his victory.
Is it not best for a beautiful woman
to celebrate a hero who has vanquished evil?
Maiden, tell him this when he wakes...
Athena shall appear before him once again.
Please stay away.
I've never been backed so far into a corner,
even in myth.
However,
things are just beginning, Godou Kusanagi.
Let us continue our fight.
You're...
I am the serpent...
The serpent that opposes Heaven.
Guess I was beaten here...
But it looks like things will get interesting.
So you can cook, too, Liliana?
I think I know with whom you're comparing me.
But I'd rather you didn't lump me in with that she-fox.
I-If you'd like, I'll make some food next time...
I knew you would block me, Lili.
Have you gone mad, Erica?
You are being quite rude to my master!
Your master, huh?
So you aren't trying to hide it anymore?
I have no real reason to act with reserve.
I shall be the one to protect my master, Godou Kusanagi.
Erica, you're taking it a bit far, just to mess around...
This is not us messing around.
It's punishment.
Punishment?
It seems you beat the deity Perseus.
Congratulations.
Oh... Th-Thanks.
Where did you hear that?
A very kind maid told us the entire thing.
Ciao!
So, who used their teaching technique on Godou?
Can't help yourself, can you?
I told you to keep your mistresses to one person.
I-In that case, there shouldn't be a problem.
Liliana is serving me as a knight.
Does that look like a knight's face to you?
He's just digging the hole deeper.
Cuore di Leone!
CAMPIONE!
