Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

But there was no time to hesitate. The ancient serpent transformed into the more agile and nimble Uridim, dragging an injured leg, and charged straight down the slope formed by the rubble.

This traitor, who suddenly intervened, knocked down a Soul-Devouring Beast from the side, narrowly saving General Tim, whose arm had been torn off, from the beast's jaws.

"puff!"

The "Lion Dog" opened its mouth and viciously bit into the Soul-Eating Beast's neck, causing both monsters to roll around wildly.

Moments later, sharp canine teeth tore through a layer of bristles that pricked the tongue, pierced the Soul-Eating Beast's neck, and severed a section of its pale white throat, securing the final victory.

As Samael sucked deeply, purplish-black blood poured from the Soul-Eating Beast's throat into its stomach.

Ugh! It tastes so fishy! It's awful!

The ancient snake, having pushed aside the corpse and risen to its feet, suppressed the gagging in its throat and moved its hind legs, whose bone gaps had mostly healed. Seeing that it had regained its flexibility, it breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I'm tough enough. With my resilience and self-improvement, I can survive as long as I'm not blasted into dust.

Immediately, Samael picked up his dying old friend from beside him and ran forward to join Anna, who was leading the remaining troops to guard the eastern rift.

After finally managing to escape the jaws of several monsters, he managed to meet Anna, but the situation only became more dangerous.

Just now, the Goddess of Warcraft's all-out attack destroyed the defensive spells of the Babylonian defense line and also blasted a hole on the east side.

The East Gate barracks, which were affected by the attack, suffered heavy losses, and all sections of the city wall were in dire need of manpower.

Therefore, the troops assembled by Tim, the commander on the east side, were pitifully small, amounting to only a hundred men at most, and all of them were wounded.

This amount of fighting power, scattered near the gap on the east side that is more than ten meters long, is only a thin layer, and can be broken with a single puncture.

If it weren't for Anna's desperate resistance, this place would have fallen more than ten minutes ago.

Even so, Anna and the remaining dozens of people were exhausted and could hardly withstand more than a few rounds of attacks from the monsters.

If I turned into a snake now, I should be able to escape, right?

So, on the Warcraft side, will they accept our defection?

Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with not being human.

Samael buried his head and took a bite of the remains of an Ugal, replenishing his strength through eating. His wandering eyes gazed at the shadowy figures in the darkness, and his thoughts began to race.

As a rustling sound came from beside his ears, the ancient snake spat out the bits of meat in its mouth with disgust.

Bah! This food? It's not fit for human consumption!

I wouldn't go even if they offered me room and board!

Chapter 59 How about you make a sacrifice? (Fourth update, please vote)

This means... a refund?

The noise around me grew thinner and fainter, and the shadowy figures in the darkness began to fade into the distance.

Samael, whose muscles were tense, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

etc! wrong!

Retreating would be even more dangerous! This is preparation for clearing the way for the light beam!

The ancient serpent recalled the overwhelming purple light pillars and the life-dissolving etheric factors, its expression turning extremely ugly, and it suddenly became alert.

"Watch out for the second beam of light! Get out of the way!"

Samael immediately raised his head and roared, sending the warning throughout the Babylonian defenses.

However, the current barriers are already shaky and cannot withstand another round of turmoil.

Uruk's defenders, having had their magic and life force drained, were also at their last gasp.

The ancient serpent's roar, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushed the soldiers' and priests' hopes.

Panic, despair, and all sorts of negative emotions spread uncontrollably.

At this moment, the rustling sound of snakes crawling on the ground became clearer, like steel needles piercing the hearts and eardrums of everyone.

A menacing and enormous shadow gradually emerged in the thick darkness, revealing its terrifying outline.

Hundreds of thick, venomous snakes, formed from purple hair, hissed and flicked their tongues. Their vertical pupils, gleaming with a crazed, eerie light, coldly glared at the crumbling city walls.

The demon goddess Gorgon, whose lower body was a purple snake tail and whose upper body was a cold and beautiful woman, pressed down her claws covered with snake scales, leaned forward slightly, and her eyes were full of madness.

"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!"

"I will repay you all with this curse, this hatred!"

The crimson demonic eye opened and closed, gathering beams of cold light from the surrounding ethereal elements, forming around the demon goddess Gorgon, poised to strike.

And these beams of light were aimed directly at the center of the eastern rift, which had already been breached with a huge gap.

Samael, terrified, grabbed Anna and fled in a frenzy.

But that distance was utterly insignificant compared to the Gorgon, who was over ten meters tall, and the area enveloped by thousands of beams of light.

With no other option, he resigned himself to giving up and immediately leaped behind the rocks, transforming into Ugal and tackling Anna to the ground.

As the ancient serpent spread its four legs and crouched down, its overturned, beastly body completely enveloped Anna.

Since things have come to this, all he can do is try his best to help the girl survive the aftershocks of the explosion.

As for himself, Samael looked up resentfully, staring at the pair of conspicuous white peaks with his excellent night vision, muttering to himself with a mournful beast-like face.

Look how broad-minded you are, how about we make a deal?

Hey sis, could you please not make this so messy? I might be able to salvage it using my immortality.

Unfortunately, the ancient serpent's rich inner thoughts were not received by the clearly mentally unstable goddess of magical beasts.

As one purplish-red orb after another exploded, a chilling, maniacal laugh echoed across the wilderness.

"Dissolve them all! Forced Seal - Temple of Ten Thousand Demons!"

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Samael, who was completely knocked to the ground by the terrifying pressure, had twitching eyelids. All he could do was pray frantically in his heart.

May Mom bless you!

May Mom bless you!

May Mom bless you!

Just as the ancient serpent closed its eyes, preparing to face this terrifying impact, a clear, melodious sound, like water droplets falling, rippled through the river of the heart.

At the same time, a magnetic hum came from the crack on the east side.

"Within the Star Sea, on the Lookout Tower, from a corner of paradise, I tell you that your stories are full of blessings, and only the innocent may enter..."

The tall, slender figure who had walked on foot was now standing before hundreds of purple-red pillars of light, his hands planted in the ground with his staff.

"...an ideal land forever isolated!"

As the ethereal, gentle echoes escaped from those lips, the phantom of a suspended spire, with a base of purplish-red crystals and an upper structure of chalky soil, gradually became clear.

The illusory pink and white flowers spread and grew, instantly covering the entire area within sight.

"Buzz!"

In the blink of an eye, thousands of crimson beams of light bombarded the illusory image formed by the intersection of the sea of ​​flowers and the fairytale spire.

The forces of dissolution and decay advanced layer by layer, threatening to annihilate everything.

Amidst the vibrant yet dangerous colors, large swaths of pink and white petals crumble and shatter, revealing once again the barren and desolate earth and rocks.

However, this seemingly illusory and fragile object actually managed to suppress the crushing force of hundreds of purple-red beams of light.

The flower fields and spires, stripped away inch by inch by reality, finally neutralized and vanished the exhausted crimson pillar of light at the very moment they were about to break.

"Merlin! You bastard, you finally escaped!"

"I've never thought you were so handsome before!"

Seeing that this old swindler was not entirely heartless after all, Samael immediately dug Anna out, excitedly ran behind the Flower Magician, and slapped him on the shoulder with his paw.

However, the descending claws passed through Merlin's body with almost no resistance, creating illusory ripples.

"Damn! It's dead? So fast?!"

"I'm not dead yet!"

The great sage, leaning on his staff, turned around with annoyance and glared at the ferocious beast behind him.

He is a nightmare, existing between illusion and reality. When his energy is exhausted, he will turn into this.

At this point, any substantial contact was extremely difficult for Merlin.

"That's good! That's good! You hold them off for now. They're badly injured, saving lives is the priority. I'm leaving now."

The ancient snake's eyes were full of encouragement, then it turned around and tried to summon Anna, dragging the wounded soldiers on the east side back into the defensive line.

But before Samael could take a step, his tail was grabbed tightly by the old swindler who was forcing a stiff smile.

"No! I've run out of ideas!"

"Warrior, now it's your turn to protect me."

Samael shook his head repeatedly with a forced smile, politely declining the offer.

"If you can't do anything, what good is it for me to do it!"

"To be fair, how about we start with a timer?"

"You've been slacking off for ages, and you've only just started playing. Hold on for another half hour! You can do it!"

Timing? How did you even come up with that?!

What are you dealing with? A bunch of cannon fodder! Can they compare to mine?

Let's be fair, how about we calculate it based on efficiency?

Merlin inwardly grumbled, stubbornly refusing to let go, and managed to force a fake smile.

“Samael, from a strategic point of view, I am more useful to you than you are.”

"Why don't you make a sacrifice?"

"If you hold out until King Gilgamesh returns, I will ask for the greatest credit for you!"

Holy crap! Is this even human language?!

Samael was so angry he almost spat in the face of the giant Fufumon.

This thing is essentially a summoned heroic spirit, so its life or death doesn't actually have much impact on the original body.

Moreover, this old swindler loves to play tricks that involve hiding his true intentions. He seems to have been squeezed dry now, but who knows what the real situation is?

Finally, some bastard showed a moment of conscience, couldn't he at least sacrifice something for Uruk? You're supposed to be the court magician entrusted by King Gilgamesh!

Just as the two reckless individuals were pulling and tugging at each other, a rustling sound of climbing came from the wasteland.

Clearly, even if the goddess Gorgon enters a period of magical cooldown, these magical beasts will not stop.

Merlin and Samael exchanged glances, and then their attempts to refuse became even more obvious.

"If I distract her, can you hold the Babylonian defenses?"

Suddenly, a childish whisper echoed in their ears, and their raised little faces were filled with solemnity and determination.

Chapter Sixty: Try it and you'll die! (First update)

"No! I won't allow it!"

Samael leaped to the front of that petite figure and growled in a low voice.

However, the little girl with purple hair had a smile of remembrance and joy on her upturned face.

“Hey, Samael, a city like Uruk was my dream.”

"My sisters and I no longer need to run away, nor do we need to bear the curse, nor do we need to worry about the heroes' punishment."

"To be treated gently by humans, and to treat others with the same gentleness, is to live like this forever..."

"Therefore, I want to protect this city, and protect everyone!"

The ancient serpent turned its eyes away, refusing to look at the pleading on Anna's face, and firmly shook its head.
