Because she could understand Ellie's feelings.
"You must have had a hard time staying in such a dark and gloomy place for so long." (5.)
Chapter 397: Humanity's Ancient Blitzkrieg |
"Master?"
"Master?"
In a dazed and confused state, Shen Qiu heard the voices of Demon God Souji and Anna. When he woke up, it was already close to evening, and he was lying on a bed made of mud slabs.
"Great, she's finally awake."
Anna breathed a soft sigh of relief upon seeing Shen Qiu awake, seemingly genuinely happy for her recovery.
"If you don't mind, could you tell me what happened?"
Uruk, the royal palace.
"Your Majesty, you wanted to see me."
Merlin looked at Gilgamesh, whose expression remained cold and stern, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Ever since that boy named Shen Qiu arrived, both my and your clairvoyance have become useless."
"No matter how it is used, the future remains a mystery and a chaotic '580' situation. We don't know where it will lead, whether it will be destruction or rebirth."
Merlin listened silently to the king's concerns, for he felt the same way. Although he called himself the master of the Tower of Paradise and considered all human affairs irrelevant, his response to Gilgamesh's summons meant—
He was the same; he was a guy who said one thing but did another.
"Did he suddenly faint and never wake up again while hunting Garurumon with Anna?" After listening to Majin Souji and Anna's account, Shen Qiu roughly knew what had happened.
Her own soul was forcibly summoned to the underworld by Ereshkigal.
The power of the gods is so unreasonable; they don't consider your wishes at all, but...
Shen Qiu recalled everything that had happened during the day, the girl who seemed like an innocent little girl, listening eagerly to him tell stories about the earth, and the interesting things that happened when he worked for the main god in various parallel worlds.
"Let's end all of this as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, the boy's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and Anna and Demon God Souji also felt a tremor run through their bodies. This was because Shen Qiu's thoughts had affected the two of them.
"What? What? You've decided to attack now and confront the Gorgon?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked incredulously at the mage boy beside her, who was about the same age as her. She knew that things were different now than during the day! During the day, Gorgon had taken the initiative to attack, and then they had retaliated.
Now, they are going to storm the Blood Temple in Nip City, the stronghold of Gorgon the Gorgon, to fight against her. What's the difference between that and dying?
“The city of Nip has been surrounded by a barrier spell called the Blood Temple by Gorgon. It not only provides a continuous supply of magic power to itself, but also prevents outsiders from entering. It’s not a very good choice.”
Merlin rubbed his chin, as if he were pondering something.
"It's alright, you can all just wait here. My purpose in going here is not only to eliminate Gorgon, one of the Three Goddesses Alliance, but also to do something more important—"
As he spoke, Shen Qiu turned his gaze toward Merlin.
Merlin seemed to sense something as well, and nodded at Shen Qiu.
Yes, Shen Qiu wanted to free Anna.
He wanted Anna to understand that her responsibility in being summoned and born on this land was not only to destroy the goddess Gorgon, but that there were other things she could do.
For example, a lover.
For example, being loved by humans.
Shen Qiu knew that Anna's true nature was still to deeply love humans, just like the places where she chose to eliminate Garuru Spirit were places where humans frequently appeared.
"The operation will be named—"
"The oldest form of blitzkrieg in human history!"
Nippur, the Temple of Blood.
This is Gorgon's lair, where all the monsters on the ground are currently produced. This is why Gorgon dares to call herself the "Goddess of Monsters." Although she is essentially an Avenger from Greece, she has stolen some of the powers of Tiamat.
And it goes without saying who this stolen portion of Tiamat's power came from—Kingu.
"Is this the Temple of Blood?"
Floating in mid-air, Shen Qiu coldly stared at the clearly visible magical barrier surrounding a mountain range. His azure katana slid from his ring into his palm, and then—
A terrifying yet surging magical power exploded from the boy's body, causing all the surrounding magical beasts to flee in panic, caught off guard!
"Damn it, they actually managed to track me all the way here, they're asking for it!"
At this moment, Jin Gu, who was inside the Blood Temple, naturally sensed the presence of this magical power. He disregarded everything else and immediately rushed out.
"You don't think your victory during the day was easy, do you? If I hadn't let you win, maybe..." Jin Gu said, looking at Shen Qiu, who was also floating in mid-air with him.
"Hatake Sword Technique - Final Form: Storm!"
Ignoring the incessant chatter of Jingu, Shen Qiu immediately unleashed the final form of the Hatake Sword Technique. Powerful wind magic flowed continuously into the katana, Gekigin, causing a sword aura over ten meters long to appear in mid-air!
"I won't let you succeed, Chains of Heaven!!!"
Seeing that his target was clearly Shen Qiu of the Blood Temple, Jin Gu couldn't care less about anything else. With a wave of his hands, a large number of Heavenly Locks appeared out of thin air, and their target was Shen Qiu!
"Qiang Qiang!"
It was the sound of blades clashing!
Demon God Souji and Anna, one wielding the two-meter-tall greatsword Purgatory and the other holding the powerful divine weapon—the Undying Slaughter Blade—easily thwarted Kingu's offensive.
And this period of time is enough!
A terrifying blade of energy, formed from a massive amount of magic comparable to that of a missile, crashed directly into the protective shield surrounding the Blood Temple. With a burst of flames shooting into the sky, the outer barrier was destroyed.
"you!"
Kingu's eyes widened in horror at the sight, for this was completely unexpected and outside of his plans. Gorgon absolutely could not afford to have any mishaps at this point!
"Heaven's Lock!!!"
"Boundless!"
Thousands of Heavenly Locks appeared in the sky, their target being Shen Qiu'an and the Demon God Souji. However, before the Heavenly Locks could be launched, the Demon God Souji arrived beside him, forcing Jingu to retreat and defend first.
"Anna, let's go!"
Seeing that Jingu was being held back by the Demon God Souji, Shen Qiu immediately grabbed Anna and charged into the Blood Temple!
"You possess immense magical power and formidable weapons, yet you lack the knowledge to wield them effectively. From a samurai's perspective, you are utterly a failure."
While wielding his greatsword, Rengoku, and easily deflecting Kingu's attacks, Demon King Souji couldn't resist making sarcastic comments.
Chapter 398: Noble Phantasm Unleashed! Absolute Sword - Infinite Three Stages
"What? What? You mean, you mean that the mage led Miss Anna straight towards the Temple of Blood?"
Inside the royal palace in Uruk, Merlin listened to the reports from Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, and his expression immediately became flustered. After all, this was not part of his plan.
Besides, it's too early!
"That was too impulsive, so incredibly impulsive!"
Merlin paced back and forth, pondering a solution. As a Grand Magician candidate, he possessed the ability to see the present moment through the clairvoyance of the present tense. As for Anna, he had already arranged her "fate" long ago.
Merlin had no doubt about Shen Qiu's abilities. He was able to gain the approval of two major restraining forces and obtain the third magic, one of the world's rules, from the Primordial Sea. Even Gorgon would be very likely to be defeated by such a young man.
However, if Gorgon is killed...
Then, the whole situation, no, not just the whole situation, but even the fate of Uruk, will take a much bigger turn, which is not what 11 wants to see at the moment!
"Fujimaru, Mashu, come with me!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry!"
Ishtar looked at Merlin, who suddenly appeared extremely flustered, and seemed somewhat bewildered, but she also had a premonition that something absolutely terrible must have happened.
Otherwise, this usually roguish flower magician would never have been so flustered.
"You can come with me too!"
On the rooftop, Gilgamesh watched Shen Qiu and Anna speed away, his expression gradually becoming serious. Unlike Merlin, he, also a candidate for Grand Caster, possessed the ability to see the future through his clairvoyance.
However, ever since the arrival of the boy named Shen Qiu, the Third Magician, his future vision has gradually become uncontrollable, and sometimes all he can see is a blur.
There are some things he clearly knows...
For example, if Shen Qiu were to eliminate Gorgon today, it would be like an unfathomable darkness and fear, which could bring an end to the existence of the entire world.
It was completely outside his plans.
But ironically, he was also filled with...troubles about Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu's strength was far beyond his expectations. As the third mage, he possessed an inexhaustible magical core within his body, coupled with his astonishing swordsmanship.
Even he himself might find it difficult to cope now.
"Damn it, this is a real headache!"
After thinking for a long time, the king decided to stop thinking about it. After all, it was something that was going to happen sooner or later, so what difference would it make if it came a little earlier or a little later?
Moreover, the Gorgons were originally intended to be eliminated.
Outside the Blood Temple on the other side.
