Medusa's mystic eyes were like two deep Dark Stars, flashing with a chilling light. Her pupils seemed to contain endless magical power; with a single glance, she could turn an opponent into hard stone.
However, when she widened those mystic eyes and tried to petrify Scathach, she unexpectedly discovered that her opponent's resistance was exceptionally strong.
The next moment, the Primal Rune took effect.
The Primal Rune was like an unbreakable barrier, blocking the effect of Medusa's Petrifying Demon Eyes and keeping that evil power at bay.
Not only that, it also purified Medusa's petrifying effect, allowing Scathach to remain free.
Although Scathach had successfully resisted Medusa's Petrifying Demon Eyes, she also felt an unprecedented "heavy pressure."
This power weighed upon her like an enormous burden, making her body incomparably heavy, as though even breathing had become difficult.
Yet Scathach showed no sign of discomfort and maintained her calm expression.
The Primal Rune was extremely powerful. Scathach had only suffered heavy pressure; she had not been petrified, nor had all her parameters been reduced by one rank.
"Pegasus!"
Medusa's voice echoed through the empty hall.
Her Petrifying Demon Eyes had failed and been resisted, so Medusa had no choice but to reveal her trump card.
At her call, a pure white glow lit up behind her.
The light gradually condensed into an enormous Pegasus. Its body was white as snow, its wings flawless as mirrors. It was Medusa's mount—Pegasus.
According to myth, Pegasus was born from the severed neck of Medusa's decapitated head. Other tales said it emerged from the pool of blood that had dripped down.
Whatever the truth was, Pegasus possessed awe-inspiring power.
Its appearance made Medusa's magical energy erupt instantly, blasting away Scathach, who was enduring the heavy pressure.
Scathach's body traced an arc through the air
