The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Enkidu raised her hand, and a mud wall rose up behind her, from which countless weapons of various kinds were launched.

As expected, the monster Humbaba retaliated with weapons launched from seven beams of light. The weapons of both sides collided in mid-air, triggering a series of explosions.

Then, almost instantly, Enkidu appeared in mid-air in front of the monster, slashing upwards with his hand like a blade. Although the monster reacted in time, it was still hit in the right eye.

"Roar──"

The enraged monster roared, but it couldn't stop Enkidu's actions. At this moment, she had already raised her foot high and then brought it down hard on the monster.

Boom!!!

Finbaba was blasted directly from the sky into the ground.

—Change form, Enkidu possesses a skill with this name.

This is not only the ability to freely change shape, but also the ability to freely redistribute one's physical abilities.

You can sacrifice attack to enhance defense, sacrifice durability to enhance speed, or concentrate all attributes on one point.

Of course, these are limited by the upper limit of one's own abilities, but they are enough to temporarily double one of one's abilities.

Enkidu had just focused his abilities on speed to jump in front of the monster for the first attack, and then converted that speed into power for the second attack.

Warcraft made the same mistake as Orpheus, ignoring Enkidu's power due to his inaction and failing to realize that she had the ability to redistribute attribute points, thus suffering a great loss.

At the same moment the monster landed, countless chains shot out from the ground, binding Humbaba tightly.

"Ophis!"

Even without Enkidu's reminder, more than 20 purple magic circles had already been set up above Orpheus, all of which were gathering terrifying energy.

Upon confirming that the monster was bound, Orpheus also squandered all the energy he had accumulated so far.

More than 20 purple magic cannons formed a purple torrent that poured down from above, engulfing Humbaba, who was unable to break free of his restraints for the time being.

Enkidu landed beside Orpheus, forming another mud wall in front of them.

The next moment, the aftershocks of the energy engulfed the area where the two were located.

The intense wind pressure burst outwards, sweeping through the forest within a few hundred meters.

Chapter 13 The Flower of Bonds

After a few minutes, the smoke and dust finally dissipated completely.

Orpheus wiped the mud splattered on her face and turned to look at Enkidu.

"Hahaha……"

The response was an awkward smile.

After absorbing the mud from his body and cleaning it off Orpheus, Enkidu looked toward the spot where Humbaba had originally been.

"That should solve the problem, right?"

His words carried a hint of sadness, but more so a sense of relief.

Perhaps, for her, returning to nature is the best refuge for her friend, rather than being trapped in the control of the wild?

However… when Enkidu used the lock to restrain the other party, he sensed a divine aura that shouldn't exist on Humbaba…

"No, it's not over yet!"

Although his mind was in turmoil, Enkidu possessed an exceptional ability to sense life force and quickly detected a life force that, despite feeling as if it were about to be extinguished, still existed.

"Roar……"

A deep growl came from the dust still lingering at the epicenter of the explosion, and the monster slowly emerged from the dust.

Even with its extremely high energy resistance, Humbaba's appearance became quite miserable under the long-prepared bombardment of Orpheus's magic cannon. Its entire body of animal hide was burned to shreds, and the venomous snake tail that grew from its back hung limply, seemingly unable to move for the time being.

Even so, the other party lowered its body and growled at the two of them.

— He was extremely weak, and his current actions were nothing more than a bluff. Enki, who could sense the other party's life force, judged it this way.

Orpheus, who had remained silent, looked at Enkidu, seemingly waiting for the other's decision.

"Let's make our move... In her current state, if Orpheus were to attack, wouldn't one strike suffice?"

Biting his lip, Enkidu finally said this.

She had already made the decision to free the other person.

Even so, she couldn't possibly lay a hand on her old friend who was already so badly hurt, could she?

Orpheus nodded and then constructed five more magic circles behind him, each aimed at one of the five directions surrounding the monster.

The opponent should be unable to move at this point, but Orpheus, just to be on the safe side, tried to end the opponent's life in this wave of attacks.

It gathers energy capable of killing with a single blow, then launches it, completing the process within three seconds.

As the magic cannon drew ever closer, Humbaba seemed to relax and give up, but then suddenly seemed to realize something.

With power from who knows where, Humbaba made a final leap, blocking the magic cannon that was furthest from her.

Then, with its fur, which possessed strong energy resistance, already burned away, Humbaba was directly swallowed up by the torrent of magic cannons and turned to ashes.

Unlike the previous shots aimed at the ground, this one from Orpheus traveled in a straight line parallel to the ground. The other four shots that missed their mark were fired into the depths of the distant forest, leaving four huge ravines.

Enkidu stood there with his head down, while Orpheus walked expressionlessly toward where Humbaba had been.

By this time, Humbaba had vanished, but the seven rays of light that draped over him remained in place. As Orpheus approached, they suddenly coalesced and eventually transformed into a huge object with a rather complex shape, resembling both a short sword and a key, which slowly fell into Orpheus's hand.

"What is this?"

It was only then that Enkidu came to his senses.

Orpheus shook his head, then slowly walked toward the direction that the magic cannon that Humbaba had just intercepted should have swept through.

Enkidu scratched his head and was about to follow when Orpheus suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Although I don't understand it, my intuition sometimes becomes very sharp after studying magic."

"Ugh?"

Enkidu stopped in his tracks.

"Therefore, Enkidu should not continue on this path."

After Orpheus finished speaking, he turned around again and walked away towards the forest.

"I know that too..."

Enkidu could only manage a wry smile.

"However, some things just have to be faced..."

With that, Enki followed.

The two continued walking, and after passing nearly a kilometer of wasteland that had just been ravaged by the aftershocks, they walked a few more kilometers.

At the end of the road was a flowerbed of considerable size, distinct from the rest of the forest, adorned with countless small blue and white flowers.

The flowerbed has clearly planned paths, and there are traces of biological life there until recently. Combined with these flowers that seem to be well cared for, it is obvious that someone has been managing this place.

If it were Enkidu, he could tell that some of these flowers are not life forms capable of surviving here at all, and that something must have been distorted somewhere—simply for the sake of these flowers.

Orpheus did not stop to admire the scenery, but walked directly onto the designated path.

Orpheus stopped at the entrance of a cave.

It was placed on a straw bed casually piled up next to the cave, as if afraid that others would not see it.

Two woven floral crowns were placed there, overlapping each other.

The flower atop the corolla was still brimming with life energy. Was it because it had just been made? Or was it preserved using some method? Orpheus couldn't tell.

She simply stared at the two floral crowns in silence.

After Orpheus, Enkidu also arrived here.

Unlike Orpheus, Enkidu was stunned when he saw the flowerbed, standing there alone, seemingly lost in thought, until he caught up with them.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with exhaustion—not from her body, which could function like a perpetual motion machine as long as the earth's power was not exhausted, but from her soul, which had been overwhelmed by the shock.

Unsteady, Enkidu walked to the flower crown, his legs went weak, and he knelt down, holding the flower crown up.

"Ha ha……"

Enkidu suddenly laughed.

"How strange, why are there two flower crowns?"

Enkidu asked Orpheus with his usual gentle smile.

Orpheus remained silent.

A smile that used to bring peace and reassurance... when paired with constantly flowing tears, becomes incredibly heartbreaking.

Why do you have to smile when you're so sad?

Was it for her?

But she'd rather not have that kind of smile...

Orpheus clasped his hands together.

—Bang!

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground caught Enkidu's attention.

Orpheus pulled out a huge stone slab from somewhere, placed it on the ground, then concentrated his magic at his fingertips and began to carve on it.

Finally, several large characters were completed on it in Uruk script.

—The Tomb of Humbaba

"Enkidu, come here."

Then, Orpheus waved and called out to Enkidu.

Enkidu stared blankly at all of this, then suddenly burst out laughing.

...It really is adorably clumsy.

Two flower crowns were placed, one on the stone slab and the other on Enkidu's head.
