To become a king and a magician

The information that "Enkidu, who is already dead, claimed to be the son of Tiamat and destroyed many fortified cities" is known throughout Uruk.

"Aren't you... an enemy of Uruk?"

“Yes, that was indeed the case in the past,” Jingu said with a smile. “In fact, I was the one who commanded these magical beasts to attack the North Wall.”

"But now you're saying you'll help us destroy the monsters?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's face was full of distrust: "You've practically laid your conspiracy out in the open. What's your purpose?"

Jingu shook his head: "I have no purpose. Although I was an enemy of you and humanity before, I am not now. After all, my body, soul, mind... everything about me now belongs to my master. I am just a puppet controlled by him, unable to do anything against his orders."

"And [go to the North Wall to assist in the fight against the monsters]—that's the order I've received."

(The minister's...puppet?)

"Could it be the minister's magic eye?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka knew that her own minister possessed a pair of demonic eyes capable of corrupting souls and controlling others. Could it be that the soul of this Kingu in front of her had already been corrupted and controlled by the minister?

Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted her teeth: "So... that means we can trust you now, right?"

"That depends on your own ideas. If you mean fighting against monsters, then I will provide assistance."

As he spoke, Jingu turned around and summoned nearly a hundred Heavenly Locks once again, piercing and crushing the demonic beast that had once again passed through the thunderstorm.

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a slight breath: "Mash, assist Kingu in eliminating the demonic beast."

"Master?"

【Fujimaru! 】

Mashu and Roman couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Master, do you think Kingu can be trusted?"

"No, I don't trust him."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head.

If it's just Jingu's side of the story, Fujimaru Ritsuka still doesn't trust him. Maybe he's pretending to be controlled, planning to infiltrate the Uruk Nei Group for some bad thing? This possibility isn't out of the question.

“But I believe the minister.”

Natsukawa Torama had already gone to the cedar forest. With the minister's perception ability, he couldn't possibly not know that Jingu was here, but he didn't chase after him.

Given Xia Chuanhu's abilities, it's impossible for him not to catch up with Jingu, which means that Xia Chuanhu also acknowledged that Jingu had come to the North Wall.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to accept Kinko's explanation.

"I understand."

Mashu sighed softly.

"Please guide me, Mr. Jingu. Please help me eliminate the monsters."

"Ah."

Kingu nodded, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka with some surprise—the last Master of mankind, it seems, is not a human who only relies on his servants and is actually useless; he has some redeeming qualities.

Just as the three decided to fight side by side—

"Boom—!"

A deafening thunderclap erupted in the distance.

The enormous pillar of lightning that crashed down from the sky was clearly visible to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others!

"That was... a blow from the minister, wasn't it?"

Looking at the dazzling lightning, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but smile: "We can't lose to the captain either. Mashu, we have to make sure that when he comes back, the North Wall is still standing strong!"

"Yes, Mash Kyrielight! Prepare for attack!"

52. Complete victory!

This shouldn't be the case.

"Boom--!"

A heavy blow and pain came from the side of his face.

This shouldn't be the case.

"Thud—!"

The spear-like lightning shattered the snake's scales.

This shouldn't be the case.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"

The sharp wind blades sliced ​​and shredded the snake's hair.

This shouldn't be the case.

Enduring attacks from all directions from Natsukawa Tiger, Gorgon, who had been so aggressive not long ago, now had all his snake hair tucked away and his wings gathered to protect his body.

It shouldn't be like this.

She is Tiamat, the goddess of monsters, the mother of all life who possesses the power to be the womb of all beasts!

How could it be that it was unilaterally suppressed into this state by a creature of unknown origin and weakness?

Whether it was the snake's bite, the barrage of magic cannon fire, or the petrifying beam released through the magic eye... none of the attacks were effective, let alone hit them, they didn't even touch Natsukawa Tiger once!

"Thump—!"

The full force of the attack from Natsukawa Tiger landed on the surface of Gorgon's wings, and the strong vibration and impact caused the wings to open slightly. Gorgon's body was forced to retreat a considerable distance.

Seizing the opening between the parted wings, Natsukawa Tiger instantly accelerated and rushed into the gap, arriving in front of Gorgon—

"Don't... come near me—!!"

Upon seeing Natsukawa Tiger so close at hand, Gorgon's eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling light, and he thoroughly scanned the surroundings.

"Slap slap slap slap!"

In an instant, the places swept by this light seemed to freeze, and solidified into stone at an incredibly rapid pace!

As Natsukawa Tiger stood before Gorgon, his body naturally began to petrify under the influence of the light. But the instant his body began to petrify, Natsukawa Tiger stepped into the spatial portal that appeared out of nowhere and arrived behind Gorgon, whom the Demon Eye could not reach. He then forcefully broke through the petrification curse with his own magic power!

And then—

"Sizzle!"

The lightning spear slammed into Gorgon's back! The thunderous strike instantly burned a large patch of her fair back black!

This has happened several times in the past few minutes.

Natsukawa Tiger was unilaterally suppressing Gorgon, while Gorgon seized the few opportunities to counterattack, but each failed counterattack was immediately followed by a painful blow from Natsukawa Tiger.

Anyone else here would probably have been reduced to ashes by Xia Chuanhu, but incredibly, Xia Chuanhu's attack seemed to have no effect. Although Gorgon looked disheveled, he didn't actually suffer any real damage.

No, the damage definitely did affect Gorgon, but—

"Buzz~~~~"

Golden light appeared on the wounded area, and the damage that Xia Chuan Hu Cai had inflicted on Gorgon was instantly healed by that light.

That was the light of the Holy Grail.

The reason why Gorgon has not been killed by Natsukawa Tora so far is because of the Holy Grail that Kingu gave to Gorgon. Gorgon, who already had extremely strong immortality, had his immortality greatly enhanced after obtaining the Holy Grail.

(Even if you kill her, the Holy Grail will probably resurrect her.)

Gorgon's immortality is so powerful that, in fact, Natsukawa Tora had already slit her throat more than once, causing many fatal wounds, but without exception, all of them were healed by the power of the Holy Grail.

To defeat the current Gorgon, either the Holy Grail must be removed from his body, or—

"It should be taking effect by now, right? It's gotten much more difficult to corrupt the goddess's soul."

As Xia Chuanhu muttered to himself, Gorgon suddenly froze as if she had been electrocuted. An indescribable pain erupted from the depths of her body without warning, causing her to instinctively clutch her chest!

(This feeling is... what...)

"The erosion of the soul."

Standing before Gorgon, Natsukawa Tiger explained with a smile, "You think you're the only one with the Mystic Eyes? My Mystic Eyes have been working on you ever since we started fighting. It's really great that your body is so big."

After all, Natsukawa Tora never used the Demon Eye Killer again after encountering Kingo, so the Demon Eye naturally continued to work its magic.

However, compared to Jingu, whose soul is as fragile as an infant's, the goddess Gorgon's soul is incredibly resilient. It has only been 30% eroded so far, causing her to truly feel the pain.

(After all, she's a goddess.)

Upon hearing Xia Chuanhu's explanation, Gorgon, clutching his chest, instantly darkened his expression. Countless snake hairs erupted wildly once more, transforming into giant pythons that lunged at Xia Chuanhu!

"boom----!"

Flames suddenly burst into flames, and the crimson flames burned the snake's hair to ashes in one breath.

Xia Chuanhu laughed, "The soul has been eroded by nearly 40%. In about 12 more minutes, your soul will be completely eroded by me and become my possession."

While the Holy Grail's power granted Gorgon immortality, the corruption of his soul was incurable. As long as time was delayed as much as possible, Gorgon would inevitably be defeated. At that time, her soul, corrupted by Natsukawa Tora, would become his puppet, just like Kingu.

"Are you kidding me!"

Gorgon roared angrily.

"You think Tiamat will become your property? Wishful thinking!"

All the snakes' hair began to dance wildly, and the immense magical power converged into countless magical cannonballs, which burst forth from the snakes' mouths, sweeping in all directions. Everything around was instantly blasted, crushed, and pulverized by the magical cannonballs, turning into scorched earth.

"I am Tiamat, the goddess of monsters! The goddess who utterly destroyed human history and humanity!"

"Let us turn to ashes along with this era and the future!"

The roar of the Gorgons shook the heavens and the earth.

Like a runaway war machine, the entire petrified cedar forest was turned into a sea of ​​fire under the bombardment of countless magical cannons.

But no matter how much Gorgon ravaged the land, destroyed the surroundings, or ruined everything, Natsukawa Tiger was like a stain that could never be washed away, firmly occupying a place in her vision, staring at her body with his sky-blue demonic eyes.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Gorgon, his eyes filled with rage, roared, his eyes flashing with the most intense light he had ever seen.
