Seeing Orpheus's serious expression, Ishtar's face showed a hint of interest.

"Okay, tell me about it."

────────────────────────────────

Clang──

The fleshy creature clashed with the giant axe, producing a metallic clang.

The area where Kingu and Hercules fought had become a vacuum zone where no magical beasts dared to enter. The surrounding magical beasts were intimidated by the power of the two and dared not approach, so they could only bypass them and continue to advance towards the north wall.

The next second, King Gu turned into golden light and retreated, and several weapons came to the rescue almost without any gap, striking Hercules.

Then, without exception, they shattered into golden dust and fell to the ground, disappearing from sight.

Jin Gu's emerald green eyes, which shimmered with a hint of gold, narrowed slightly.

If we convert it to the level of a Noble Phantasm, it's already at Rank B, but is it still not enough?

Enkidu's machine can simulate all the weapons she can understand with clay... or rather, everything, but the more powerful the thing, the more computational power and mental energy it requires. If possible, she still hopes to reduce the losses in this regard.

Defeating the opponent with minimal losses is also the rule of weaponry.

"Roar!!!"

Hercules roared and charged forward once more.

Golden light gathered in Enkidu's palm, eventually transforming into a golden spear that shot out.

With remarkable agility, Hercules dodged the incoming spear and continued his charge toward King.

Jin Gu frowned.

It wasn't that easy after all...

Whether it's E-rank or EX-rank, Hercules will try his best to dodge or deflect all attacks as long as he has the strength. The dodge he just did didn't allow Enkidu to find any opening.

However, according to Enkidu's guess, A-rank is the limit for the opponent.

The reason is simple: if even an A-rank Noble Phantasm can't hurt the opponent... then this mountain of flesh is just too ridiculously tough.

With a gentle lift of one hand, the land within a radius of tens of meters burst forth with golden light, enveloping both King and Hercules.

Golden light spilled into the air, coalescing into weapons radiating sharpness, pointing directly at Hercules without any blind spots.

Then, the instant they took shape, all the weapons shot rapidly toward Hercules!

The sudden attack left Hercules, in his current state of irrationality, unable to react in time. In the blink of an eye, he was pierced by countless weapons, and his life force dissipated.

However, even with his eyes closed, King Gu could sense that another life force was rapidly expanding within Hercules' body, seemingly about to burst forth.

"Roar!!!"

Within seconds, all the weapons embedded in Hercules' body were shattered by a special force, and Hercules regained his life and roared again.

At this moment, Jin Gu opened his eyes and smiled slightly.

"It was expected that the weapon would work against the divine, but what about... against the heroes?"

Looking at Hercules, King Gu muttered to himself in a knowing tone.

"Demigods, heroes, and they can even be resurrected, I see..."

Countless weapons unfurled once more, hurtling towards Hercules.

Having learned from his previous experience, Hercules, though injured, successfully deflected most of the weapons, but the next moment...

Six spears sprang from the ground and struck Hercules in various vital areas.

Hercules has died again!

"Is Heracles, the great hero of Greece, the one who passed the twelve trials?"

In the first wave of attacks, the weapons that originally killed Hercules lost their effect. Does this mean that he is immune to the things that killed him before?

As Hercules was resurrecting and recovering health, King Gu, true to the villain's spirit of being talkative, took a few steps forward and spoke with a light laugh.

"Your abilities are indeed something to be proud of. If it were anyone else, they would find it difficult to face your power, right?"

Even for a top-tier Heroic Spirit like Little Sun, it would be quite difficult to devise twelve different killing techniques in a moment of desperation, right?

But unfortunately...

"What a pity! If you are the ultimate one, then I am the ultimate suppression that is almost infinite! In this respect, you are completely restrained by me."

To kill Hercules, you need twelve... or thirteen different methods, each of which must be an attack with B-rank power!

However, King Kou can wield far more than twelve A-rank weapons!

Moreover, in Jin Gu's view, the most important thing is...

"If my observation is correct, your body has already transformed into a Noble Phantasm, hasn't it? The ultimate weapon sublimated by the attacks of the Twelve Trials... However, you are only a weapon in terms of your body."

With his arms outstretched, Jin Gu spoke with an air of arrogance.

“Unlike you, although I am a perfect new human, at the same time, my body, my spirit, my soul, everything that constitutes me, are all weapons… In other words…”

As they spoke, the weapons once again completely sealed off Hercules.

"This mere half-baked, defective product is no match for me as a weapon!!!"

The weapons transformed into a rain of golden light, falling upon Hercules once more.

Chapter 92 The Path of the Beast

On the battlefield, Dingir's artillery fire rained down relentlessly, creating a deafening roar, while the cries and howls of the monsters filled the air.

The area where the black iron cavalry stood, despite the sounds of galloping hooves and various noises from the magical beasts, felt like a silent vacuum. The more than one hundred cavalrymen were like silent harvesters, quietly and efficiently eliminating one magical beast after another. Even when their comrades fell due to the monsters' attacks or assaults, none of them made any unnecessary reactions.

"Is it really okay to hand everything over to Hercules?"

Inside the carriage, Ritsuka turned her gaze away from the fierce battle, but her brows furrowed with worry.

Having fought countless bloody battles with numerous Servants, Ritsuka has become incredibly perceptive about the strengths and weaknesses and the relationships of restraint between Servants.

Hercules was very strong, and in the past, he had directly overwhelmed Ritsuka and the others. Only by using a clever trick could Hercules be killed.

However... what Ritsuka sensed from Kingo's side was unfathomable depth.

It's impossible to estimate the opponent's strength!

"Hmm, even that great hero probably wouldn't be a match for Jin Gu."

Merlin shook his head.

If Hercules were the real thing and had a clear mind, then it would be hard to say, but in his current state, even with Orpheus's enhancement, he is still far inferior to Kingu.

"It is indeed strange... Judging from the level of magic power reflected, Hercules seems to have been enhanced by King Orpheus, just like the previous high priest. His level of magic power is far higher than King Gu's. Even so, there is still no feeling that Hercules can defeat King Gu."

The doctor also spoke into the communicator.

“Enkidu’s body originally had the ability to draw magic power from the earth, so it doesn’t matter how much magic power Kingo has in his body, right?”

Merlin responded to the doctor's words by stroking his chin.

According to his observation, Kingu has never been troubled by magic problems; he is the same type of magic nouveau riche as Orpheus.

Of course, there are other possibilities besides drawing from the earth, but that's just Merlin's guess, and whether it's right or wrong, it's meaningless in the current situation.

Ritsuka frowned.

In other words, Hercules' chances of surviving weren't high either?

"Now is not the time to worry about others~"

Merlin waved his hand, and another image appeared in the carriage.

"This is……"

Ritsuka's expression changed.

Countless flying magical beasts gathered above the cavalry force and circled around them. Dozens of bipedal dragons separated from the ranks and swooped down as if to test the waters.

"Oops!"

Ritsuka couldn't help but gasp softly.

A swooping attack could actually knock a rider off his horse with its momentum... Even disregarding that, the situation is already quite dire considering the disadvantage of being ground-to-air!

According to Ritsuka's observation, these knights don't seem to have any means of long-range attacks...

"what to do……"

Ritsuka clenched her teeth, her mind racing.

Can we only rely on Mash's Noble Phantasm to protect a small portion for now...?

Faced with the monsters that seemed to be about to launch an air attack, the knights did not panic. They simply raised their weapons silently, as if they wanted to fight back.

Ritsuka knew very well that a mere few dozen small flying dragons posed no threat to them, but when all the magical beasts in the sky launched their attack, the casualties would definitely exceed 80%!

Just when things were critical, a blue light burst into the image, and after hitting a two-legged dragon, it instantly took away most of the target's body. The remaining small part was also devoured by the blue flames attached to the wound within half a second.

"Mr. Arjuna?"

Ritsuka's eyes lit up at the sight.

Sure enough, countless more arrows of light appeared, accurately shooting down each of the bipedal dragons.

"Hmm...it seems Arjuna's side is indeed very reliable."

Seeing this, Merlin smiled knowingly.

The sudden, unknown attack seemed to instill fear in the flying magical beasts, and for a moment no magical beast dared to launch an attack.

"Roar──"

Upon hearing this voice, Ritsuka's face darkened once again.

She didn't hear that voice often, but it was definitely memorable...

"Roar──"

"Roar──"

"Roar──"
