Davidian's Holy Grail War

Believe it or not, without Davian, if Enkidu were to launch a full-scale attack, no one except Merlin could hold him back. The entire North Wall could potentially be wiped out by that guy, and that's no joke.

Leaving Winzenrib and Gareth behind to continue commanding the remaining First Legion, Davian arrived before Gilgamesh at top speed.

At this moment, Gilgamesh was still dealing with the complicated affairs of Uruk, but when Davian landed, everyone else consciously shut their mouths.

Since David was summoned and stationed at the North Wall, he not only took on the defensive mission of the North Wall, but he also had the spare capacity to set off to other cities outside the North Wall for rescue.

Of the remaining citizens of Uruk who know these things, not one does not respect him.

The matter that would make David An rush over to report must be something truly unimaginable.

Gilgamesh turned his attention from the clay tablet to Davian in the hall, and Davian immediately spoke:

“Nipour, I met a green-haired guy who was so beautiful he was inhuman. I fought him, and he was a little careless and took a small loss, but I was also injured.”

Siduri instinctively covered her open mouth, and King Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, carefully examining Davian who was giving the report below.

There was a dangerous glint in his eyes, but David could tell that it wasn't directed at him.

However, Gilgamesh quickly regained his composure. He put down the clay tablet in his hand, stood up, and began to calm the restless others in the hall.

"You may all step back and allow me to speak with David. Siduri, you may also leave." King Gilgamesh looked at Siduri and gave the order, and the others all withdrew voluntarily.

Gilgamesh then looked at Davian again, and the two stared at each other for nearly thirty seconds before Gilgamesh sighed.

He composed himself and then asked Davidian, "Your eyes are so firm, so these words are definitely not a lie. Davidian, are you sure it's that green-haired, inhumanly handsome guy?"

“I’m sure, and the other side is very strong.” Davidian reiterated what he had seen and heard today, and he was not joking.

Who the hell would make such a joke? If something happens, a lot of people will die!

"My dearest friend is dead. He was reduced to ashes in my arms. This is an indisputable fact. That person could never have been Enkidu. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Gilgamesh reiterated the matter, and David could sense a fleeting sadness in his eyes.

Perhaps Gilgamesh was mourning and weeping in his heart every time this matter was mentioned, but as a transcendent being, he wouldn't show such emotions. That's just the kind of person he was, Davidian suddenly understood now.

Chapter 228 Waiting

Enkidu, who had been knocked to the ground, had been lying there for a long time.

He was a complete mess, the first time he'd ever been knocked to the ground and injured. Was that the savage nature of the old humans? It had really put this new human at a disadvantage.

A strange emotion arose within him for the first time, and with his intelligence, he quickly understood what it was: anger.

This is the worst and most despicable emotion of the old humans, and now this new human is also experiencing such emotions?

"Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" He clenched his fists and pounded the ground beside him with all his might.

The rising dust made his body even dirtier, and at that moment, he became uncontrollably agitated.

This was the first time since his birth that he had felt this way. How could this perfect new human being possess such base emotions that only old humans could have? Unforgivable!

"Unforgivable...unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable! I will kill him, I must kill him!" He stood up and roared furiously.

But it wasn't long before he managed to suppress his anger.

Anyway, that guy appears at the North Wall every day, so I can make my move whenever I want. Right now, the matter between the three goddesses is more important.

His mother's awakening was far more important than his own anger; he couldn't let his emotions cloud his judgment.

"You just wait, I will definitely kill you, Holy Sword Wielder!" He then got up and rushed towards the river. Before returning to the Blood Temple, he would at least have to clean his body.

Davidian is still pressing Gilgamesh for answers; he's not going to let this matter rest so easily.

"So, where are the remains buried? Can we go and check them out?" Just kidding, the feel of that tool is no ordinary thing; it's not something that can be done without the legendary Heavenly Lock.

Gilgamesh sighed and rubbed his temples in exasperation. He could only say, "In the Underworld, do you want to go?"

"Huh?" Davidian typed a question mark. The underworld? How do you get there? Are you going to send someone there? What's going on? This is beyond his knowledge.

Explain yourself, Gilgamesh, don't just leave things unsaid.

"After he died, I asked Ereshkigal to take his remains to the underworld for burial. That's how it is. So, are you going to the underworld?"

The underworld and the mortal world aren't completely separated in this world; you can just dig a hole in Kusa City and go down there.

Gilgamesh's answer was indeed simple and straightforward, leaving David stunned. How was he supposed to answer that? Was he really going to go on a day trip to the Underworld?

Seeing Davian remain silent, Gilgamesh reassured him, "Don't worry. If you say that, I already know what's going on."

That body must undoubtedly be the Lock of Heaven. I guess someone filled it with a newly born soul, and then stuffed in a magical source similar to the Holy Grail as its core.

"That Magic King really went to great lengths. No wonder, considering this place is still in a time before his own."

He quickly figured out what kind of creature this Enkidu that Davidan had encountered was. Davidan nodded in agreement with his analysis, but the key point was how to deal with the guy in the present.

Davidian has now elevated the danger level of that fake Enkidu to below that of the Three Goddesses. He feels that in the entire Uruk, apart from the goddess Ishtar, only Gilgamesh and himself are capable of fighting that guy.

"You can just stay at the North Wall. That guy suffered a great loss at your hands. Judging from your words, he has a rather arrogant personality, especially considering he's just been born."

He probably harbors a great deal of hatred for you right now. As long as you're there, most of his attention, which should be focused on humans, will likely shift to you.

This is all the advice Gilgamesh can offer right now; the rest is up to time.

“But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. We have to find a way to solve this.” Davidian wanted to persuade him further, but Gilgamesh simply sat back on his throne wearily and waved for Davidian to leave.

Seeing this, David knew that further discussion was pointless. Fine, it was just a temporary fix; he'd just let it drag on for now.

[My dearest friend, I never imagined our reunion would be like this...] King Gilgamesh thought to himself, these were the joyful yet sorrowful things.

And so Davian left Uruk and returned to the North Wall; a day had almost passed.

Night is about to fall, and even monsters need to rest. Just leave enough people to keep watch.

He also inquired about Leonidas's handling of civilians and soldiers' casualties during the day. Fortunately, the results were satisfactory, and today's hard work was not in vain.

That evening, David casually sat on the city wall drinking; the Uruk ale was indeed quite good. And before he knew it, Merlin had come to his side.

"You've had a tough time these past few days of fighting. How are you feeling? What do you think of the local customs and culture of Uruk?"

Merlin sat down beside him with a grin, and he brought a wine jug to refill David's glass.

The master and apprentice drank wine, gazed at the starry sky, and enjoyed the leisure and freedom of the moment. It was a truly wonderful time.

"This is a good city, and the people here are kind and motivated."

Davidian first praised Uruk, but then quickly added, "However, it's not as good as Camelot!"

Merlin burst into laughter upon hearing his words, and after he finished laughing, he said, "I knew you'd say that. So, how was the fight with that fake Enkidu? How did it feel to fight him?"

David frowned, a troubled look on his face. He finished his ale and said, "It's troublesome. They're not easy opponents to deal with."

"Even though we might fight to the death if we really went all out, you certainly wouldn't want me to do that, right?"

“Of course!” Merlin’s expression immediately turned serious.

"I didn't summon you here so that you and that guy could die together."

We do not yet know where the Holy Grail of the Magic King is. To fix this singularity, we must find the location of that Holy Grail.

Furthermore, the Holy Grail is very likely in the hands of Tiamat, the goddess of monsters in the north. Do you really want to fall before the final boss? That doesn't fit your mission at all.

David couldn't help but sigh... Alas, Merlin's tasks were never easy, and this one was even more difficult.

To deal with something on the level of a creator god, why not get a Grand Spirit Origin yourself? What's the point of being summoned like this? Even if you try to fight it in this state, it'll be hard to defeat it.

Seeing David's troubled expression, Merlin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, everything will get better once the Chaldeans arrive."

Our current task is to maintain the status quo; you just need to fight hard.

After all, we are all shadows of the past. What we should do is maintain the status quo. If we want to create a future, we still need the last Master of humanity who lives in the present.

"I understand, I understand. You can rest assured and leave the north wall to me." David said, putting down the cup. If he couldn't do this kind of thing well, he would really be letting himself down.

Chapter 229 Integration

The days that followed repeated themselves, with David steadfastly holding the north wall.

Benkei and Ushiwakamaru were summoned by Gilgamesh to explore the dense forest region, which was said to be the territory of the Forest Goddess, one of the three goddesses.

Since Merlin and Gilgamesh's clairvoyance couldn't directly investigate the goddess, they had to send Servants to probe directly.

Then it was simple: both of them were killed. David's expression was somewhat strained at that moment; they were taken down before the intelligence could even be transmitted.

How should I criticize them? Should I praise them for being really good? Or should I praise the Forest Goddess for being incredibly skilled, taking them down before they even had a chance to escape?

The reason they sent those two was because of Ushiwakamaru's stamina and Benkei's solid build, but both of them were completely outmatched. This puts David under a lot of pressure, since his side has suffered losses because of this inexplicable incident.

However, the defensive strength of the north wall was not weakened by the disappearance of these two people. Kotaro set up traps, Tomoe Gozen provided long-range sniping, and David and Leonidas took the lead.

No matter how many times a mere monster horde comes, they will be driven back directly. Even if they fight for a whole day straight, they can withstand it.

Anyway, with the Holy Grail protecting him, Devian can kill as many monsters as come.

However, after so many days of defensive fighting, both Winchenrib and Davidian could sense that the enemy's command was in disarray.

It seems the opponent is getting impatient... Well, they've been having such a smooth run before, and now they've been fighting a tough opponent like David for so long without success, it's no wonder they're getting impatient.

There's probably pressure coming from the Warcraft Goddess behind the scenes; it's like having a tough opponent in front and pressure from behind.

I just don't know when that guy will completely go crazy and attack. David has wanted to kill him for a long time.

A few days later, Kotaro quickly returned to the city wall. He knelt on one knee and reported the current situation to Davidian. He had finally managed to locate the monster commander.
