Even so, the king did not give up and wait for his death.
The roles of the North Wall and Uruk were switched, making Uruk the southern defense line.
Hiduri knew very well that this couldn't last; the north simply didn't have enough logistical supplies, and the garrison on this line was far too small...
Apart from the city guards responsible for protecting the people, only one hundred warriors under Orpheus's command remained.
Orpheus certainly couldn't expect these hundred men to withstand the impending disaster.
Next, it's time to see what Hiduri does.
In the hall where Orpheus usually daydreamed, the wand supported by the Holy Grail floated upright in the very center of the hall.
Sidduri walked silently to the wand alone, his expression wavering.
Orpheus didn't hide anything from her; she knew very well what she would have to endure next.
While it might be considered an unparalleled reward from most people's perspective, Sidduri's status and wisdom meant she couldn't possibly be that naive.
only……
Taking a deep breath, Siduri gripped the handle of his wand.
For Uruk, for the people of Uruk, and even more so for the king who had been fighting silently all along, she had no choice.
A purple beam of light burst forth.
The beam of light ignored the temple's layers of obstruction and caused no damage whatsoever, piercing straight through the clouds and soaring into the sky.
From the pillar of light, a tiny but incredibly pure stream of magic separated out, swirling in the air like a small snake before entering Siduri's body.
"Whoosh..."
After Sidduri felt the energy enter her body, it went straight into her heart. In the next instant, she felt her nerves and blood vessels boiling, and the intense pain made her groan.
And the area around the heart felt as if it were being scorched by a raging fire... In fact, it was indeed being scorched.
The incredibly aggressive magic concentrated and completely melted Siduri's heart, then slowly formed the shape of an ouroboros in the same spot.
At the same time, countless mysterious runes emerged from all parts of Uruk, centered on the temple, while a huge magic circle centered on the ouroboros stretched out in the sky above Uruk.
then……
“Singing──”
The pillar of light vanished without warning, and immediately afterward, as if it had always been there, a creature composed of purple magic, resembling both a dragon and a snake, appeared in the sky above Uruk.
The dragon and serpent gracefully coiled above Uruk, as if rejoicing at their liberation, softly emitting a low murmur that sounded like a song.
Then, as if sensing something, it paused slightly and slowly turned its gaze southward.
“Singing──”
The chanting resumed, this time filled with anger at their territory being trampled upon by something filthy!
Chapter 102 The Power of Dragons and Serpents
"You all hurry, retreat towards the north wall first!"
Dodging a golden light, Lily brandished her holy sword, deflecting the various weapons that followed, and then turned back to urge the soldiers of Uruk on.
Outside the Temple of Blood, the Chaldeans were making a hasty retreat.
There is only one reason.
Jin Gu's pristine white robes billowed amidst the intense energy, and his emerald eyes were stained crimson.
Everyone present could feel that the aura was clearly superior to that of Gorgon!
After all that, they even got the final boss wrong...
"Have Mash and Jeanne's defenses been breached?"
Looking at Jin Gu, Lily gritted her teeth, charged forward, and slashed down with her sword, trying to force Jin Gu back first.
To Lily's surprise, the Holy Sword easily severed one of King's arms.
Before she could even react, a strong sense of crisis surged from the roots of her hair to her heart, and almost without hesitation, Lily rolled to the side.
The next moment, the severed arm transformed into a golden ray that swept past the spot where Lily had been standing.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lily caught a glimpse of a giant tree that had been struck by the golden light and instantly turned into dust.
"you!"
Kingo didn't give Lily a chance to speak. Before she could regain her composure, he kicked her into the air and then waved his hand, sending several Noble Phantasms flying towards Lily, who was unable to dodge in mid-air!
Clang—
Puff!
The sounds of clashing weapons and piercing flesh rang out almost simultaneously. Lily was thrown back by the immense kinetic energy and fell to the ground, with a short blade still stuck in her right abdomen and left shoulder.
"Has most of it been resolved?"
Jin Gu gave it a cold glance, then raised a long spear with his now-recovered hand.
Even so, they were powerless to resist.
"Alright, that's enough."
A huge pterosaur suddenly swooped down from the sky, and the wind pressure it generated made King Gu squint his eyes slightly before stepping back.
However, it seems that the pterosaur's target was not King Gu.
When the pterosaur returned to the sky, Lily in front of Kingu had disappeared, replaced by a woman whose attire was out of place in this era.
"Are you going to stop me too, Quetzalcoatl?"
"Honestly, it's clearly a weapon, yet it's still driven by emotions. Is that really a good thing?"
Quetzal did not respond to Jingu's words, but instead asked with a light laugh, while also slightly lowering his body and assuming a fighting stance.
"Humph."
A cold glint flashed in Jin Gu's eyes, and a faint golden light emanated from his body.
But at that moment, Jin Gu frowned.
The next second, a purple beam of light shot into the sky from the direction of Uruk.
Looking at the beam of light, Jin Gu's blood-red eyes flashed with a hint of golden light before disappearing.
"Oh dear, what's this?"
Quetzal also saw the beam of light, but by the time she turned her gaze back, King had already vanished.
"What is this thing? The magic reaction is too much!? Wait, wait, the equipment... this way... Da Vinci, please save me!?"
Listening to Roman's frantic movements and the sounds that seemed to come from the machine being overloaded through the communicator, Ritsuka sighed.
It seems we can't count on the doctor...
Looking at the pillar of light, Ritsuka's face showed a faint sadness.
Although I was mentally prepared... things were indeed not that simple...
What exactly is the magical source that can overload Chaldea's detectors...?
"Anyway, let's go back as soon as possible!"
────────────────────────────────
"call……"
Siddhartha, sweating profusely, gripped his cane tightly, his eyes gleaming with a thin purple light.
She could feel the power surging from her body after the pain subsided, but even so, she still couldn't control the immense power in her hands.
Can't drag it any longer!
Siduri gritted his teeth and looked south through the purple dragon-snake.
Unheard of and unimaginable monsters are rushing toward Uruk.
The number of monsters was terrifying; even from the perspective of a dragon and snake, the line was endless. Coupled with their disgusting appearance, even a priest like Siduri, who cultivated his mind, felt his spirit shaken upon seeing them.
Hiduri couldn't even imagine what would happen if Uruk were conquered by those monsters.
With this thought, Sidduri's resolve hardened, and he thrust his staff upwards with all his might.
“Singing──”
In response to Siduri's actions, a dragon's roar resounded throughout Mesopotamia, and the ouroboros magic circle above the dragon-serpent also shone brightly, with intense magic power bursting out and converging in front of the dragon-serpent.
Along with this, the Dragon God slowly opened his mouth.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed, and Jin Gu appeared in front of the dragon and snake.
Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar figure through the dragon and snake, Siduri was startled.
Before she could react, a blinding flash of light, like the blazing sun, appeared in Jin Gu's hand, and he swung it down.
In an instant, a golden sword beam streaked across the sky above Uruk.
However, the sword light did not achieve the expected effect.
A purple hemisphere enveloped the entire city of Uruk. The golden light, powerful enough to cleave mountains, was completely swallowed up by this hemisphere composed of endless magic.
Jin Gu's expression darkened slightly, but before she could make another move, a sudden heavy blow knocked her heavily to the ground outside Uruk City.
The dragon-snake roared, and its tail, which had just attacked, reversed its trajectory, piercing the spot where Jin Gu had fallen, and sending Jin Gu flying back into the sky.
Then the dragon and snake opened their mouths, and purple flames made of magic erupted out, engulfing Jin Gu.
In the next instant, the golden light pierced through the flames, broke through the dragon and snake's blockade, and disappeared south of Uruk.
"Ha ha……"
Inside the temple, Siduri was breathing heavily.
Controlling the dragon and snake to perform such skillful movements is incredibly taxing on her.
However... although they successfully forced Jin Gu to retreat, the matter was not over yet.
Sidduri poured all his remaining power into the wand.
