That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Ereshkigal burst into laughter through her tears, raised her double-edged spear and swung it, unleashing crimson lightning as it spun rapidly. She roared fiercely, "Roar! Crimson Lightning of the Underworld!"

The fiery temple Meslamthea, pierced the earth, forming a massive fissure that extended across the entire underground sacrificial grounds. Lava and crimson lightning flowed beneath the fissure, erupting with powerful earthquake tremors.

Rumble~

Hall steadied himself to avoid falling during the earthquake, which was not just a physical earthquake, but a tremor of the world, as the entire underground sacrificial site was replaced by the underworld.

The impact was extremely strong because Hall was blessed by the goddess of the underworld. When he was in the underworld, the power of the blessing was amplified to an extremely terrifying degree. In just a few seconds, all the damage to his mind and body was restored, and the consumed magic power was not only restored, but also increased by more than half.

Boom boom boom!

Thunder rumbled, and crimson lightning from the underworld surged forth from the earth, fixing the enormous Garura spirit in mid-air, unable to escape no matter how much it howled and struggled.

Hall was secretly shocked: "If a split spirit of the main body can achieve this level, then Ereshkigal's power has already reached the level of the residents on the second floor."

The standard for determining whether a resident lives on the first or second floor is the "Golden Three Targets," with Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, being the target of all targets, the ceiling of the first floor.

The standard for second-floor residents is someone stronger than Gilgamesh.

Ereshkigal's strength, if she were a Servant, might not be as great as Gilgamesh's, but if she were in the Underworld, let alone Ishtar, even the feathered serpent god, who was a chief god, would suffer a defeat.

In fact, Ishtar had already suffered a great loss once, losing all her divine armor in the underworld before fleeing in a sorry state. All her treasures were used by Ereshkigal to make a crown for the goddess.

"Hall, hurry! I can't hold on much longer. This body is already struggling just to manifest outside the Underworld." Ereshkigal urged urgently, controlling the Crimson Lightning of the Underworld.

Originally, she didn't even have the chance to leave the underworld. It was only because of the burning of human reason that she had the strength to come to the ground. In reality, she could only use a small part of her original power.

This is one of the reasons why she initially said she didn't intend to help Hall; she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Hall.

Seeing that the black mist was controlled by the Netherworld Crimson Lightning, Hall stepped forward and thrust the ethereal element rapier in his hand toward the spirit core analyzed by the Demon Eye.

boom!

The moment the True Aether Rapier plunged into the black mist, it suddenly exploded, creating a huge gap. Inside the gap in the black mist was a space of disproportionate size, where Olga Marie was fast asleep, her expression pained.

"Chief!" Hall called out to Olga Marie.

In the distance, Ereshkigal said anxiously, "She is in a spirit state. We need to call her name as a guide, and she can't hear anything, so we need to communicate with her through consciousness."

Names, from ancient times to the present, have held extremely important meanings in both Eastern and Western magical foundations.

As he spoke, the power of the Netherworld Crimson Lightning was rapidly weakening, and the black mist struggled even more violently.

Hall's understanding of spirits could not possibly compare to that of Ereshkigal, the master of the underworld. He cursed under his breath, "Damn it, who knows what to do?"

That being said, the situation was urgent, so Hall had no choice but to comply and try to summon Olga Marie by making a contract with a Servant.

Concentrate your mind, gaze at the sleeping Olga Marie with your magic eye, and forcefully establish a conscious connection with Olga Marie through magic.

"Olga Marie..."

"Olgamaria Asmirette Animusfia!"

"Olgamaria Asmirette Animusfia!!"

Olga Marie, still fast asleep, opened her eyes in confusion and saw Hall, utterly bewildered.

Hall's consciousness and body both whispered, "Come here, Olga Marie."

Olga Marie didn't know what was happening, but upon hearing Hall's voice, she instinctively did as he said, her body floating towards Hall.

The black mist surged violently, evolving into arms and human faces within the gap, some trying to dissuade, some groaning in pain, and some cursing.

"Don't go! Don't go! Don't go!"

"The living! The living! The living!"

"Stay! Stay! Stay!"

"Abandon! Abandon! Abandon!"

Olga Marie didn't hesitate at all, but Hall impatiently roared, "Shut up! Are you guys broken records? Aren't you annoying?"

Hall's soul was bound to the Star Cup, and his existence was no less than that of a god. This roar alone drove back half of the spirits, causing panic.

"Don't stop, keep calling her name!" Ereshkigal, who was maintaining the crimson lightning of the underworld, reminded him. He opened his mouth in surprise when he saw Hall reach out and grab Olga Marie from the gap in the spirit body.

The name is like a trigger; only by constantly calling Olga Marie's name can her spirit be guided.

The fact that the guidance was successfully completed even without this step demonstrates that Olga Marie had an almost instinctive trust in Hall.

The moment Hall rescued Olga Marie, the seal maintained by the Crimson Lightning of the Underworld vanished.

"We finally succeeded."

Ereshkigal was overjoyed and let out a long breath before collapsing to the ground. Half of her body became transparent, and her split spirit genes were on the verge of collapse due to overexertion. When she looked up and saw Hall holding Olga Marie's body in the distance, her pretty face changed drastically, and she cried out in alarm, "Hall! Get out of there!"

Olga Marie woke up, still not fully conscious, and stared blankly at Hall.

Damn it!

Hall held Olga Marie's body, staring intently at the increasingly turbulent black mist in the sky. He knew what was wrong without Ereshkigal reminding him.

The gigantic Garura Spirit was created with Olga Marie as its core. What happens when it loses its core?

Ordinary spirits will quickly disappear if they lose their core, but the giant Garula spirit is created from a large number of spirits, and even if it loses its core, it still has a kind of instinctive behavior for a short period of time.

Their first thought is naturally to find the core, or to find something that can replace it.

At this very moment, Ereshkigal lost his ability to fight, and Hall sensed that the blessing of the goddess of the underworld within him had disappeared.

"Damn! Am I going to get to receive that golden treatment too?!"

Hall vividly recalled that one of the ways Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, died in the Fifth Holy Grail War was by being devoured by the Holy Grail, which had lost its core.

The spirits' primary target is still Olga Marie, but that doesn't mean Hall won't be affected. Without their core, the undead are just a bunch of monsters following the instincts of the dead.

Hall's soul is also quite captivating.

In the age of gods, where the body and soul were distinct, physical death was no big deal; the goddess could easily revive the dead using her powers.

However, if the soul is destroyed, the result is similar to dying in the modern world, and Ereshkigal, as the master of the underworld, cannot restore it.

Without a second thought, Hall drew runes in one breath to set up a defensive barrier for Olga Marie.

At the same time, he silently recited the incantation, and a silvery-white glow ignited like flames.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The black smoke manifested as human faces, striking the defensive barrier like raindrops. Without the blessing of the goddess of the underworld, the barrier crumbled in less than a second, cracks spreading everywhere. The cracks were then filled with the dark aura, continuing to erode it.

hum!

Hall unleashed the ethereal fire in his hand, which exploded in the sky, affecting all the undead.

Before Hall could even rejoice, he saw the etheric fire vanish in an instant, burning away several undead.

Having lost the blessing of the goddess of the underworld, Hall, as a living being, was constantly rejected by this otherworldly realm built of the dead.

To destroy this other world, the ancient tomb needs to be destroyed, but the ancient tomb is related to the real Ereshkigal in mythology, and it is impossible to complete without god-level strength.

"hateful!"

Ereshkigal struggled to his feet, wielding his double-edged spear as he staggered toward Hall, the spear, a symbol of the master of the underworld, easily annihilating the undead.

"Stay away from him!"

Ereshkigal completely lost her composure, her pretty face filled with panic.

Ereshkigal is currently only a fragment of her spirit, her power nearly exhausted, but a trace of the goddess's authority still remains, and the undead dare not approach her in the slightest.

But that was all; Ereshkigal could do no more. Even the goddess's commands were ignored by the undead who craved the core, for her voice contained no divinity or power.

Conversely, after the underworld realm created by the Temple of Heat faded, this place once again became another world created by the undead.

Hall, as the person involved, remained very calm. The defensive barrier he maintained was completely depleted of his magic power, and could only be maintained for less than ten seconds at most.

"Aileen, can you destroy that ancient tomb?"

Eresh wielded her spear to annihilate the undead, but it was a drop in the ocean compared to the sheer number of them. She cried out in a panic, "Hall! Are you alright? That was a sacrificial tool, equivalent to a weapon created by the gods. Only I, who exists in the Netherworld and possesses complete divinity, can use it."

How to do?

In a single second, Hall's consciousness, divided into dozens of parts, calculated an escape method.

The simplest and most effective method is the Magic Eye, which can also work on spirits, provided that the target is an ordinary spirit.

The ancient tomb remains intact, and these spirits are still protected by the powers that once belonged to Ereshkigal.

The True Aether Destruction Spell is feasible, but there are too many uncontrollable factors; it might just blow up Uruk City on the ground as well.

Reality Marble requires a lot of magic power to activate, and it's not even guaranteed to be effective.

"There are many ways to eliminate these undead or escape, provided that the director's life or death is completely disregarded."

Hall glanced at Olga Marie, who was still unconscious in his arms, and immediately rejected his idea. Giving up on her now would mean all his previous efforts were in vain.

"Anyway, I have the Star Cup, so I won't die even if I'm killed."

"Shall we take a gamble and give it a try?"

If Hall dies, he will either be resurrected by the power of the Star Grail, or he will truly die in this world and be banished, never to return.

Hall was quite confident in the power of the Star Cup, especially since it was now connected to the Sea of ​​Origin of Life.

Chapter 381 Mentioning Mom

The undead grew increasingly frenzied, the black mist howling as it crashed against the defensive barrier, countless auras of death piling up to form the end of all things, shattering layer upon layer of the barrier.

Without any means of defense, as long as it exists in this world, it will inevitably come to an end; this is something determined by its very origin.

The attacks of the undead are similar to those of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception only need to destroy the death lines of all things to bring them to an end, while the attacks of the undead are the accumulation of countless deaths, forcibly bringing existing things to an end.

The magic power stored in the magic circuit can only support the barrier for a maximum of six seconds.

There's no time to think about it.

"The living! The living! The living!"

"Return it! Return it! Return it!"

"Dead! Die! Die!"

The undead murmured, the influence from the soul level stimulating Hall's mind. He glanced at the distance, where the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, was using her spear to cut a path through the undead horde. However, Hall's magic eye observed that the spirit's divided spirit had reached its limit, and it wouldn't be surprising if it shattered and disappeared at any time.

Seeing Ereshkigal's anxious expression, Hall felt a little touched.
