Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Just then, Ushiwakamaru seemed to realize something, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Wait, something seems wrong."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 450 Shocking Change: The Goddess of Warcraft Descends!

Upon hearing her statement, Musashibo Benkei asked:

"What's wrong, Lord Ushiwakamaru?"

Looking at the corpses of magical beasts scattered all over the ground, and the ever-growing horde of beasts still surging in from afar, Niu Ruomaru asked him in return:

"Benkei, tell me, how many monsters have I killed by now?"

"Is this..."

After a moment's thought, Musashibo Benkei replied:

"I'm afraid it's already close to two hundred, right?"

"what,"

At this point, Musashibo Benkei also reacted quickly, looking at the surging monsters in the distance, his expression instantly turning serious.

The total number of monsters observed yesterday was only around three hundred, but it seems that the number has increased significantly, possibly far more than just doubled.

The number of monsters that have gathered around Nippur City now may have reached the size of the first wave of monsters when the monsters launched their all-out attack!

This isn't simply a matter of quantity; the more serious issue is—

Faced with such a large number of monsters, can Nippur hold out until the Chaldea group arrives to their aid?

"...I'm afraid Nippur has become a completely empty shell, hasn't it?"

Ushiwakamaru calmly exposed this cruel truth, and then stated unequivocally:

"I'm going to Nippur to help Lord Fujimaru and the others. Benkei, you and Miss Gudako should take the soldiers and retreat to the North Wall. There's no longer any need to continue with the diversionary tactics."

"But……!"

Seeing that Ushiwakamaru was planning to go to Nippur, Musashibo Benkei looked worried and subconsciously tried to stop him.

But just then, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been listening quietly, suddenly laughed:

"In that case, I'll leave their situation to you, Ushiwakamaru."

"Gudako-san..."

Ushiwakamaru glanced at her gratefully, then nodded solemnly and said:

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring them back safely!"

After saying that, Ushiwakamaru immediately set off, moving forward at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

"I've already told you not to make promises you can't keep."

Watching Ushiwakamaru's departing figure, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed helplessly.

Then, she turned to look at Musashibo Benkei beside her and smiled somewhat embarrassedly:

"Well, actually I was planning to go there too. So I'll leave this to you, Mr. Musashibo."

"Eh?"

Musashibo Benkei was slightly taken aback, but before he could react, Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure floated up into the air and flew away towards Nippur City.

"..."

Watching Ushiwakamaru and Fujimaru Ritsuka leave one after another, Musashibo Benkei tightened his grip on his naginata and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

How could he not want to set off with Ushiwakamaru?

but……

In the end, he could only let out a silent sigh, turn to the soldiers, and say loudly:

"The original plan is off. Everyone, follow me and retreat to the North Wall!"

-

"This is absolutely terrible, the current situation is...!"

Ishtar said in a deep voice.

Because the frontal assault team had drawn all the monsters away, Gudao and the others arrived at the west gate of Nippur City as planned and successfully entered the city.

But to everyone's dismay, the hundreds of people who were supposed to be escorted out of the city had completely disappeared, leaving only bloodstains all over the ground leading to the city center.

Following the trail of blood, the group eventually found Jingu, who had been waiting for them for a long time, in the center of the city.

Looking at the Chaldea group that had arrived, Kingu smiled and said:

Welcome to Nippur.

Seeing this, Gudao's expression turned serious, and he questioned in a stern voice:

"Where are you taking the citizens?!"

"Citizens?"

Jin Gu chuckled:

"Humans are a very valuable source of nutrition, so of course it is being fully utilized."

In fact, after realizing that they were secretly evacuating the people of Nippur, he not only arranged for more magical beasts to patrol and block their movements, but also immediately wiped out all the remaining people in Nippur, and then quietly waited for their arrival.

Moreover, during their conversation with Jingu, they received even worse news—

So far, the monsters have not actually launched an invasion; their only reason for attacking is to obtain the nutrients they consume and use them to cultivate the second generation of monsters.

The second generation of Warcraft was the true killing machine used in war.

"What do you take human life for...!"

Gudao clenched his fists tightly, his face contorted with barely suppressed rage, but now, they had no choice but to retreat.

However, Jingu clearly wouldn't allow them to leave so easily.

Thus, a battle was about to break out.

Mash, Anna, Ishtar, Merlin... such a luxurious lineup, they might not be without a fighting chance even against King Gilgamesh.

Unfortunately, they encountered Kingu, who had the same abilities as Enkidu, rendering their strongest unit, Ishtar, completely useless.

"Damn it, why did they have to design these chains to target divinity? Have all the gods who created Enkidu gone mad?!"

Ishtar complained angrily, dodging and fleeing in a sorry state under Kingu's chain attacks. Anna and Mash, who were left behind, were no match for him either.

Soon, their first wounded person appeared.

"—!"

With just a tiny flaw, the chains of heaven forged by the gods firmly bound Anna's limbs, fixing her in mid-air in a spread-eagle position, from which she could not break free no matter how hard she tried.

Because, like Ishtar, Anna is also a goddess servant.

"Anna!"

Accompanied by Gudao's anxious calls, Kingo leisurely approached Anna, carefully examined her, and then said with some surprise:

"Divinity, a blade that slays the undead, and those eyes... This is truly something else, they actually had such a trump card hidden inside..."

"—You'd better leave now."

"Pfft."

"Anna—!"

The chain with its sharp tip easily pierced Anna's abdomen, blood splattering instantly. Gudao's pupils contracted slightly, and Merlin, who was standing nearby, could no longer remain seated. He said to Fou on his shoulder:

"Cassie Palug, hurry up and think of something. You've already accumulated a lot of magic power, haven't you?"

"...Fu!"

Finally, Fou responded, jumped off Merlin's shoulder, and ran towards Anna.

Its body gradually transformed into a torrent of magic, enveloping Anna within it. Ignoring the chains of heaven, it vanished from everyone's sight along with Anna.

"Great."

Seeing this, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, but Kingu was genuinely surprised and said:

"They can actually ignore the Chains of Heaven...?"

Gudao and Mashu were equally surprised, but now was not the time to dwell on the matter. Seeing that Anna had been safely rescued, they prepared to find a way to evacuate.

But at that moment, the ground beneath their feet—no, the entire city beneath their feet—suddenly began to shake violently.

"This is--?!"

Gudao and the others were somewhat uneasy, and Kingu on the opposite side couldn't help but frown slightly, expressing some surprise and dissatisfaction:

"How could this be... Just how impatient is she?"

Regardless, the ground collapsed completely and irresistibly, raising clouds of dust. To the horrified eyes of the Chaldea group, a gigantic monster with four wings on its back, hair like venomous snakes, and a snake tail appeared abruptly before them.

"That is--"

"The Goddess of Warcraft?!"

Chapter 451 Retreat and Battle

"Mother, you're awake today too! That's wonderful."

Upon seeing the goddess of war appear, Kingu approached her and greeted her with a smile:

"However, this is somewhat different from the planned schedule. Please take care of your health before the Day of Rebirth arrives."

Enkidu?

Seeing this, the Beast Goddess chuckled:
