Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Don't say that..."

The two chatted casually, seemingly oblivious to the Chaldea group and treating them as if they were nothing.

However, Gudao and the others could not be as relaxed as they were. Everyone's expression was extremely solemn, and a few drops of cold sweat could not be seen from their foreheads. They were suffering both mentally and physically.

The sudden appearance of the goddess of war beasts caused the situation to spiral out of control; and the terrifying pressure made it difficult to breathe even just by standing still.

At this point, Merlin could only feign composure and speak:

"Archiman, quickly analyze that guy! He's a Servant too, so at least we should be able to find out his Spirit Origin, height, class, and other information, right?"

"I'm doing it!"

Dr. Roman's anxious voice came through, his forehead covered in sweat as he looked at the data in front of him:

"His spirit origin is at the god level, his physical body is ten meters tall, and his length—including his tail—exceeds one hundred meters?!"

"The class is Extra! It's Avenger!"

"Avenger..."

This series of exaggerated data, aside from making them more clearly aware of the enemy's terrifying nature, does nothing to help with the current crisis.

Facing Jingu and his group alone was already difficult enough, and now a magical beast goddess who might even surpass them in strength has arrived...!

"—Run!"

"That is Tiamat, the goddess of creation!"

"We can't possibly beat those monsters! Quick, retreat...!"

At the same time, the soldiers behind Gudao and the others collapsed the moment they saw the opponent's huge and terrifying figure.

They were all elite soldiers who had fought countless battles, but faced with the immense terror of another dimension, the sudden surge of survival instincts and fear from their bodies instantly overwhelmed them.

Looking at the soldiers, Mashu called out anxiously:

"Everyone, please calm down!"

"It's so noisy."

Just then, the goddess of monsters, Gorgon, seemed to finally notice the Chaldea group at her feet. She lowered her head slightly and looked down at them, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, as if she were looking at a disgusting insect.

The next moment, the opponent's huge and tough tail tore through the air and crashed down on the soldiers like Mount Tai!

"Everyone, be careful!"

Mashu's pupils contracted, and she immediately prepared to raise her shield to defend herself, but suddenly found her steps unusually heavy, and the enemy's attack had already reached the soldiers' heads in an instant, like the scythe raised high in the hand of death—

"Don't even think about it!"

Zheng——

Accompanied by the sound of a sword being drawn, as clear as a gentle breeze, a slender figure familiar to everyone suddenly appeared in mid-air. The blade in her hand collided with the huge tail, instantly scattering sparks and producing a loud sound like steel clashing!

Finally, with the impact of the force, the tail's attack trajectory was slightly deflected, and it slammed heavily onto the open ground next to the soldiers with a 'thud!' The ground cracked and dust billowed up.

"—!"

Looking at the terrible cracks in the ground, the soldiers were momentarily stunned, but this also brought them back to their senses.

"Oh?"

The change before their eyes caused Gorgon to raise an eyebrow slightly, and upon seeing the familiar figures before them, Gudao and the others exclaimed in delight:

"Ushiwakamaru!"

"That's right, it's you!"

Ushiwakamaru smiled energetically and said:

"Gilgamesh's Rider, Ushiwakamaru, has come to provide support!"

Seeing Ushiwakamaru's figure, everyone felt the pressure lessen slightly, but Gorgon's expression didn't change much; he simply said in a contemptuous tone:

"Tsk, another bug."

The group returned to reality, and looking at the two enemies before them, Ushiwakamaru's smile faded, replaced by a solemn expression.

"The Beast Goddess and Kingu have appeared together... This is truly an unexpected and terrible situation..."

After quickly grasping the current situation, she swiftly made a decision:

"Lord Fujimaru, please lead your soldiers and retreat immediately. I will try my best to hold them off!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Roman nodded decisively and said:

"This battle is too early for us. Let's retreat to the North Wall first!"

"But how long can you stall alone... Honestly, I'll help you too!"

Ishtar stepped forward, grumbling, and stared intently at the Beast Goddess:

“I should be able to handle that bastard goddess who stole Mother’s power for a while. But can you and Merlin hold off that imposter Enkidu?”

"no problem!"

Ushiwakamaru nodded decisively, while Merlin, who had been called out, unexpectedly pointed to himself and said:

"Wait, do I want to come too?"

"Otherwise what? You think you can slack off at a time like this?!"

Merlin understood, of course, that if Gudao died here, everything would be over, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Ah, okay."

"Helping me deal with the [Chains of Heaven] is going to be the death of me."

That's what he said, but what he fears most right now is Gorgon's Demon Eye. If he's only dealing with Kingu, it's actually not so bad.

Furthermore, judging from the current situation, could the two people he sensed would leave last night be...?

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this now.

With that thought, Merlin cleared his mind of distractions and turned to Gudao and Mashu with a smile:

"Don't worry, I won't die. You guys retreat first, and we'll meet up at the north wall later."

"Ushiwakamaru, everyone...!"

Gudao didn't know if Merlin's words were true or false, but he knew he had no other choice. Therefore, after giving the three of them a deep look, he decisively gave the order:

"Full speed retreat—!"

"Yes!"×n

"Running away after just meeting? Humans really are..."

"In that case, let me extinguish humanity's last hope like I plucked a wild strawberry. Wouldn't that be a sweet and pleasant ending?"

Watching Gudao and Mashu lead the soldiers away quickly, Gorgon revealed a mocking smile and set off to give chase, but was interrupted by a sudden beam of light.

Ishtar flew to a point in the air level with the head of the monster goddess Gorgon, and said angrily:

"I said, how long are you going to ignore people, you bastard!"

"Ishtar?"

At this moment, Gorgon seemed to only then notice her, and frowned slightly, saying:

"An existence independent of the Three Goddess Alliance, a goddess as wicked as you, would actually help humanity?"

"so what?"

Ishtar crossed her arms and said:

"Doing whatever I want is my style; I'll help whichever side I want. Fujimaru is my contractor now, so I'll help him, that's all."

"Is this so..."

Gorgon pondered for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

But the next moment, a murderous aura burst forth from her body, and her expression turned ferocious. As if a living snake were unleashed, she opened her blood-red maw and fiercely pounced on Ishtar!

"Then go to die!"

Chapter 452 An Inevitable Decline, Gudako Saves the Day

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to develop this way."

On another battlefield, King Kong floated lightly to Ushiwakamaru and Merlin, and smiled:

"Your mother's appearance seems to have given you quite a fright."

His tone was very natural and relaxed, as if he was not in a hurry to chase after Gudao and the others, and he looked like he had the victory in his grasp.

"That's it!"

Merlin followed up on his words, nodding in agreement, then spreading his hands with a smile:

"In that case, why don't you just let us go?"

"I don't mind at all."

Jin Gu chuckled:

"After all, your demise is only a matter of time. Before the real destruction comes, it doesn't seem so bad to just watch you struggle ugly and relentlessly."

"but……"

"—!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ushiwakamaru seized the opportunity and suddenly attacked, appearing instantly to Kingo's side and slashing down with his sword!

"Qiang——!"

However, at the very moment the attack came, an indestructible chain rose up from the ground at Jin Gu's feet, narrowly blocking Ushiwakamaru's attack!

"what?"

Seeing the opponent's quick reaction, Ushiwakamaru widened his eyes slightly in surprise, then immediately used the momentum to jump back and dodge the opponent's counterattack chain.

Because of Ushiwakamaru's attack, Kingu paused slightly, then continued as if nothing had happened:
