The reason she has the possibility of obtaining the Undying Blade of Slaughter is based on the condition that [the weapon that killed Medusa is Harpe] → [Medusa's death must be close to Harpe].

To have Medusa kill Medusa with the Blade of Slaughter is somewhat hellish.

Back to the point.

Having taken the fatal blow from the Undying Blade of Slaughter, Gorgon should have been dead without a doubt. However, fortunately, she had obediently worn the gift Kingu had given her during the battle.

The [Scarab Statue of Wisdom] obtained from Fujimaru Ritsuka, imprinted with the [Perseverance] effect.

As an ornament symbolizing regeneration and resurrection, the scarab beetle is an extremely precious magical material even in modern times. In the environment of the Age of Gods, it truly possesses the ability to bring people back to life, and its effect is even better when combined with [Perseverance].

Thanks to this, the Gorgons barely survived.

Come spicy!

Chapter 476 Leaving, Heading Towards the Condition of the North Wall

Back to the point.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka applied the healing magic to both of them equally, the healing effect on Gorgon was greatly reduced due to the effect of the Undying Blade of Slaughter.

Although Gorgon was pulled back from the brink of death, he did not appear as weak as Anna.

Even so, after confirming that Gorgon was safe and sound, Jingu still secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said:

"You're awake, Gorgon."

"Jin Gu!"

Hearing Jingu's voice, Gorgon felt much more at ease, but then, upon spotting Anna beside him, her voice trembled again, and she exclaimed excitedly:

"Jingu, quick, kill her! Don't let her near me!!!"

But Jin Gu did not obey her order to act; instead, he sighed softly:

"It's over, Gorgon. Your plan has failed."

"What did you say……"

Gorgon was slightly taken aback. Only then did she finally recall everything that had just happened.

Yes.

She has been defeated by the Chaldeans, utterly and completely.

But why is she still alive?

"In that case, you two continue your conversation, we'll be leaving now!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly interjected, smiling at Kingo:

"After all, we have a lot of things to do next, so we won't stay here with you."

Who said I needed you to accompany me?

Jin Gu's temple throbbed slightly, but he ultimately chose to ignore her words and said calmly:

"Please do as you wish."

"Okay, see you next time then. Anna, let's go."

"Ah, um..."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka wave goodbye to the other party and then turn away without hesitation, Anna hesitated and looked at Kingu and Gorgon in front of her. In the end, she chose to put away her weapon and quickly followed Fujimaru Ritsuka's footsteps, leaving with her.

As he watched the two figures disappear from sight, Gorgon suddenly realized that he could now see Anna's presence.

It seems she has indeed lost...

Immediately afterward, Gorgon withdrew his gaze and looked at Jingu before him, hesitatingly saying:

"Could it be... it was you?"

-

"Gudako-san, did you save her and me?"

Once they left the Blood Temple, Anna finally couldn't help but ask Fujimaru Ritsuka the question that had been bothering her.

In response, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded, saying:

"Yes."

"Eh?"

"But why...?"

"Are you saying that Gorgon is a villain who has harmed countless human lives, so why should I save her?"

Seeing Anna nod silently, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Because I made a deal with Jingu. But more importantly, if we want to save humanity, we must have this kind of awareness."

Whether they are good or bad, whether they are forces of justice or forces of evil, they must do their utmost to strive and unite, gathering all the power and help they can obtain in order to sustain them on their journey.

"..."

Anna's expression was thoughtful, as if she was carefully pondering the meaning behind Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke again and asked:

"...What deal?"

"Well, you'll probably find out soon enough."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled mysteriously and did not answer immediately. However, with Tiamat's appearance, it seemed that Jingu's existence could no longer be hidden.

Then, she looked towards the horizon and smiled:

"Now is not the time to talk about these things, after all, the real trouble is yet to come."

"Anyway, let's hurry up and get on our way."

……

...

In order to save time, she took Anna directly into the air and headed towards the north wall of Uruk.

On the way, she gave the other person a brief explanation of the current situation, including Merlin's temporary offline status and Tiamat's existence.

When they arrived at the North Wall, the first thing they saw was the countless corpses of monsters outside the North Wall, the blood-stained city walls and the earth, and the soldiers collecting the bodies of their comrades.

Because of the successful base-trading tactic, the direct combat between the two sides did not last long, but even so, it still resulted in countless deaths and sacrifices.

Then, they spotted Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, and Leonidas I on the city wall.

"Everyone!"

"Gudako-san, and Anna-san are here too...!?"

Upon seeing the two figures, Ushiwakamaru and the others widened their eyes in surprise. Then, Ushiwakamaru happily approached the two and smiled at Anna:

"We have heard about the Blood Temple incident. We thought... Anyway, we are very glad that Miss Anna has returned safely!"

"I think Lord Fujimaru and the others will be very happy too!"

Feeling genuine concern from the other person, Anna apologized again, feeling somewhat guilty.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Ushiwakamaru smiled and said:

"No, we were able to defeat the Beast Goddess thanks to Miss Anna's heroic attack!"

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced around and asked:

"Where are Fujimaru and the others?"

Leonidas I, standing nearby, replied:

"They rode on the pterosaur of the goddess Quetzal Koyatir and rushed back to Uruk."

"Although the monster tide has receded, just in case, we've decided to stay here and continue our defense. After all, even here, monsters like that have appeared..."

The monster they described was covered in purplish-black mud, with long tentacles covering all four limbs, and its head was dominated by a single, vertical mouth, with no other organs visible.

They are said to be called Rahm, one of the eleven magical beasts created by the creator goddess Tiamat.

Mentioning this matter, Ushiwakamaru's expression became slightly more serious, and he said with some worry:

"Yes, those are monsters even more troublesome than second-generation magical beasts. Ordinary Uruk soldiers are no match for them. It's just unknown how many there are..."

Those monsters called Rahm are so difficult to deal with, even for Servants, let alone ordinary people.

More importantly, those monsters came from the south. Although their numbers are small, it's hard to imagine what Uruk, or even Eri, further south, would be like.

If the number increases, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"That's it..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking for a moment, decided to tell them the quantity.

"One hundred million?!"

Unsurprisingly, upon hearing the number, their expressions shifted from disbelief to extreme seriousness.

"but,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"If we can defeat Tiamat before it completely wipes out humanity, we can still successfully repair this singularity."

"So, I'll leave this to you all."

The forces of the northern goddess of monsters have been defeated, while Tiamat and Rahm were born from the Persian Gulf in the far south. In other words, the northern wall of Uruk, which was originally the front line, has now become the last line of defense.

The soldiers and civilians living here also became one of the sparks that determined the outcome of the battle.

Ushiwakamaru and the others exchanged glances, understanding Fujimaru Ritsuka's implication, and responded firmly in unison:

"Rest assured, we will protect the people of the North Wall, even if it costs us our lives!"
