Davidian's Holy Grail War

Although Mashu's defenses prevented them from being turned to stone, they are now completely immobilized and stuck here, unable to move forward.

Upon seeing Ritsuka, Gorgon's mood improved even further. She even ignored the ongoing damage that Davian had inflicted on her, stopped to take a good look at Ritsuka, and drew her own conclusions.

"So that's how it is. These are the survivors of Chaldea. These insects that still cling to the world are so tiny and fragile."

Not a hero, not a king, not even someone with divine blood, how did he manage to reach this point with such a frail body?

Normally, Gorgons wouldn't care about such a weak being.

However, at this moment, her inner malice had been aroused by Davidian, and she said to Davidian without any politeness:

"They are now petrified by me and are already my prey. I am about to unleash my power upon them. If you wish to protect them, then come and try to stop me!"

After saying that, half of the snake's head on her head turned around and began to gather strength to attack Ritsuka and the others. Davidian didn't say anything and rushed towards that direction.

As the dark rays of heat shot towards them, he had already raised his sword to block them. He had blocked all of the Gorgon's power, but if he simply stood there and took the attacks head-on, even he...

“Mr. Davidian…” Ritsuka now regretted his rash actions. If he hadn’t been so eager to join the battle, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

"Don't blame yourselves! Recklessness is closer to true courage than cowardice. Your desire to fight and help others is good!"

After saying that, David roared and continued to block the heat beams shooting at him; he wasn't about to be knocked down so easily.

"You're just wasting your time. Let's see how long you can hold off this attack!" Gorgon laughed triumphantly after saying this. She had the situation under control and this would be her victory.

However, at that moment, the sound of shields being struck rang out from the North Wall Gate!

A hero's cry rang out from the North Gate!

“No, this is by no means a futile effort.” Leonidas stepped steadily out of the North Gate, accompanied by three hundred azure spirits.

Three hundred Spartan warriors descended upon this place, and in the next moment they slew the monsters with their spears and then pounded their shields, drawing the Gorgons' attention to this location.

"Come and take it if you dare!" he roared, just as he had done at Thermopylae. His roar, and the roar of the three hundred warriors, echoed across the battlefield.

He also possesses summoning-type Noble Phantasms, though they are not as awe-inspiring as David's, they still possess his own unique essence.

"Come and take it if you dare!" The three hundred azure Spartan warriors roared in unison. The activation of this Noble Phantasm signified that this was their final battle.

But they will fight to the death once more, and they will roar once more to stop all invading enemies!

"What!" Gorgon suddenly realized that her attack had been deflected incredibly, even though she had no intention of attacking Leonidas and the others.

But all the snake heads on his body suddenly turned towards Leonidas. Was it the effect of a Noble Phantasm? Forcibly shifting the target's attack target?

Leonidas slammed his shield one last time and shouted into the distance, "Go! My friends! Gather your souls here! Guardians of the Flame Gate!"

At that moment, the souls of the Spartan warriors coalesced into countless shields, blocking all the heat rays shot towards them.

Although the shield was shattered, Leonidas's body was gradually being injured, and even the soles of his feet had begun to petrify.

But this bought time; his noble act bought time for David and Ritsuka.

"Hurry up!" Davidian was still smoking, but he couldn't care less about that now.

He carried Ritsuka and Merlin on his back and then had Mash, who had regained some of her mobility, hug him tightly.

The Evil King Flying Dragon had already grabbed him and was flying directly towards the North Wall. Now was the best time to escape the battlefield!

When they reached the north wall, David set the three of them down. The shields summoned by Leonidas's Noble Phantasm were also shattered.

Before everyone's eyes, Leonidas, in the last moments of his life, threw his prized spear with all his might.

The spear even pierced through the Gorgon's heatline and struck her chest, though the wound was healing at a visible rate.

But Leonidas's final blow did indeed successfully injure the great monster Gorgon before him. He truly lived up to his name as a descendant of the great hero Hercules!

Chapter 252 Ten Days

"This burning pain... and who are you? In the final moments of your life, which is like a candle flickering in the wind, why not tell me your name?"

Looking at the person who had blocked her hotline and successfully fought back, Gorgon was now willing to treat him with the respect due to a hero.

"I am a descendant of the great hero Hercules, and also a descendant of the great god Zeus. My kingdom was once protected by Ares, the god of war. I am Leonidas, the king of Sparta."

"Great Demon Beast Gorgon, though my life is as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, I have held onto hope!"

He tried to take a step forward as if he wanted to continue fighting, but unfortunately his legs were now petrified.

Leonidas's body fell limply to the ground, but he still braced himself with his hands, refusing to lie prostrate on the ground.

"I admire your fighting spirit, descendant of Zeus. At least let you fall as a hero now, but you say you held onto hope?"

How laughable! What hope is there left? You, the strongest guardian, have fallen here! The end of humanity is near!

After saying this, Gorgon stretched out his sharp claws and grabbed at the air, as if he wanted to crush the world and destroy all hope.

But Leonidas simply chuckled and retorted, "How could that be? My soul, like the one in this world... is immortal. The rest is up to you."

"Immortality? How foolish! Then I will now storm Uruk and kill your foolish king! Roar, monsters! There is no need to wait for the time limit. Fill your hearts with hatred and ravage the remaining humans!"

As she spoke, Gorgon suddenly waved his hand, and the soldiers who were still blocking the monsters at the city gate suddenly felt the pressure increase. These monsters had now completely gone berserk.

However, although Leonidas had fallen, Davian was still alive. He slowly replaced the Evil Dragon at his waist with the Evil Dragon, and his previously arrogant and domineering style turned cold and ruthless at this moment.

David slowly jumped down from the north wall, and the moment he landed, a white light burst forth from his body, piercing the heavens and the earth!

"How could this be? What is this light? What on earth is happening!" Gorgon was forced back by the light, and her enormous divine body even began to tremble uncontrollably.

How could this be? What exactly is this light, and how could it make her feel threatened at this moment?

The magical beasts were already trembling with fear at the sight of the white light, and many of the beasts that were far away had already run back to the northern wilderness.

However, David simply held his sword to the sky with both hands, took a step forward and shouted to the Gorgon, "If you want to go any further, then ask the sword in my hand."

Having finished speaking, he took another step forward. Gorgon, surprisingly, flinched, her massive body slowly retreating.

Davidian's power gave her a heavy sense of oppression, and if she didn't retreat, this blow might even end her life.

Even the power of the Holy Grail couldn't stop this attack, her intuition told her.

“Mother, let’s stop here for today.” Enkidu suddenly came to Gorgon’s side and tried to persuade her, as he also felt that something was wrong with the situation.

He couldn't understand what that white light was.

"For us, conquering Uruk is only the first step. If we expend too much strength here, we might end up benefiting the goddesses of the other two pillars."

If we were to capture Uruk now, the alliance would immediately crumble. That would be a net loss.

Enkidu continued to analyze the current situation for the Gorgons, and after considering the situation, the Gorgons agreed with Enkidu's explanation.

There are still 100,000 magical beasts waiting to be born in the Blood Temple. It is necessary to maintain this so-called Three Goddess Alliance before they are born.

"Then let's end it here for today. Thank you for your magnanimity, my son, human." Gorgon raised his head and looked at the humans on the north wall.

"But you still cannot escape your fate of annihilation. After the tenth dawn starting today, we will destroy Uruk. If you value your lives, flee to the ends of the earth!"

At this point, she smiled elegantly, as if she were a goddess, and continued, "But that's on the condition that you can escape. There are over 100,000 magical beasts still residing in my temple, and they won't be satisfied with just slaughtering humans."

When you become consumed by terror, abandon your own people, and descend into beastly madness through suspicion, you will be brutally murdered by them!

After saying that, she disappeared underground and vanished from the battlefield. At that moment, David also put away the white light that had pierced through the heavens and earth.

He stood firmly on this land, sword as his staff. That imposter Enkidu wasn't gone yet; he couldn't fall.

But the fake Enkidu simply walked slowly up to him, took a breath, and said:

“Having an unreasonable mother is really difficult. In this respect, humans are no different from us, after all, children can't choose their parents. You must think so too.”

At this moment, Ritsuka and Mash also arrived at David's side. They tried to help David up, but found that David's hands were as if welded to the hilt of the Holy Sword and could not be pried open at all.

"What are you planning?" Seeing that Davidian did not speak, Ritsuka asked Enkidu in front of her.

"I didn't have any ulterior motives, I just wanted to save your lives." After all, it would be too boring if it ended like this.

At this point, he opened his arms wide, proclaiming to the crowd in a victorious gesture:

"To Mother, you are beings that need to be banished, and what needs to be guarded against are the other two pillar goddesses. And the other two pillar goddesses seem to intend to make efficient use of humanity."

Therefore, if we were to wipe you all out here, the other two goddesses might actually get serious. I serve Tiamat, so just in case, we need to let humanity live a little longer.”

However, Ritsuka wasn't intimidated by him; instead, she asked Enkidu about his true identity. Enkidu then gave his answer to Ritsuka's question.

"There's no need to hide it anymore. Yes, I was also created by my mother, the prototype of the humans who will destroy you old humans and rule this world."

"Origin Goddess, the new humankind created by the great Tiamat. My true name is—Kingu."

"[Kingu? The god who leads the children of Tiamat in Babylonian mythology?]" Dr. Roman exclaimed, never expecting that the person before him had such an identity.

“That’s right, but I’m not the product of some stupid reincarnation. Kingu was a failed product that ran away because he was afraid of Marduk, and he has no value to be used again.”

But I am different. I am a perfect being created based on Enkidu, the greatest masterpiece of the gods, and I am the prototype of the new humans.

At this moment, he slowly ascended into the air and said his farewells to the crowd below:

"Therefore I can assure you that humanity will not perish. Humanity will begin anew, and after you humans are destroyed, I will become the next generation of humanity."

And your history will be inherited by us. So die in peace; the joy of returning to nothingness is your final salvation.

The next moment, he flew rapidly towards the northern sky. After confirming that he had left, David finally collapsed and lost consciousness.

Chapter 253 Start strategy

When David woke up, he was already in the Tower of Gods, and he was now lying on a stretcher.
