Attack of Gorgons

　　Ryota was not surprised by Gorgon's attack.

　　Gilgamesh's act of distraction undoubtedly provoked Gorgon's bottom line.

　　Her hometown was nearly wiped out, if she could bear it, Ryota would doubt whether she was the Snake Goddess or the Tortoise Goddess.

　　Even though Gorgon was a homebody and didn't know these things, Gilgamesh had been investigating the reason for the Demon Beast's disappearance.

　　After all this time, She couldn't detect him, so she would definitely turn her attention to Uruk, the first vanguard to stop the Demon Beasts.

　　Uruk's current situation would soon become known to her.

　　Gilgamesh's behavior in transferring people with such great fanfare must not be hidden from her.

　　Destroying Demon Beasts and transporting people. Ryota felt that these two phenomena alone would make Gilgamesh feel that the process of creating a Demon Beast had been exposed.

　　That is to say, the birth of a Demon Beast must rely on human corpses as nutrition.

　　Things had developed in such a way that it was beyond what he could handle.

　　It's fine if Gilgamesh is alone. But now he, Quetzalcoatl, several Servants, and an unknown force that annihilated the Demon Beasts.

　　No matter how proud Gilgamesh was, he wouldn't have thought that he had the ability to finish everyone off.

　　Servant is a must.

　　Logical Gorgon attacks.

　　Ryota is not worried about this.

　　To be honest, he was a little scared that after Gilgamesh realized that he could no longer handle the current situation, he would directly attack and kill Gorgon in a sneak attack, so Tiamat would wake up earlier.

　　Because purely from a program point of view, doing so is the most perfect.

　　Gilgamesh was still human, and he couldn't help but feel feelings for Gorgons.

　　Ryota recalls that in the original plot, Gilgamesh showed never-ending worry about Gorgons.

　　It was with this in mind that he did not go deep into the enemy's camp to monitor movements and prevent taking the initiative to attack Gorgons.

　　...

　　When Ryota rushed to the north wall, he found that other people had gathered here before him.

　　Looking ahead from the city wall, several Demon Beasts were flying in the air.

　　The same was true on the ground, where the Demon Beasts densely gathered in front of the city walls.

　　In this Demon Beast army, there were several tall lion Demon Beasts that could be seen roaring and spitting flames, leading the other Demon Beasts to arrange an attack.

　　Ryota realizes that it is the second generation Demon Beast that appeared in the original plot.

　　Ugallu, sun lion.

　　Among Tiamat's children, it was also considered a Demon Beast of the highest level.

　　"Demon beasts...?" Ishtar froze for a moment: "Where did this batch come from? Weren't they all killed before?"

　　"I'm afraid it was made by Gorgon all along. No movement for days, she's holding back her big moves."

　　While speaking, Ryota shifted his gaze from the densely packed Demon Beasts to the large Demon Beasts at the end.

　　It was a Demon Beast that was taller than the city walls.

　　It has a human-shaped upper body and a snake's lower body, with huge golden wings spread out, and a snake head at the end of purple hair, moving in the air, as if aiming at the enemy, spreading its fangs, which is very scary.

　　The Uruk warriors looked at the Demon Beasts in shock.

　　That figure seemed to be able to crush the courage of any human soldier.

　　"Is that Gorgon you are talking about?" On the other hand, Gilgamesh's voice was heard: "She came on her own initiative, and plans have changed. Allies, this situation is within your expectations?"

　　Ryota knew that Gilgamesh's words were asking what to do next in disguise.

　　To fight or not to fight.

　　According to the original plan, the battle with Gorgons was to be avoided as much as possible before the fateful day.

　　But now that the enemy is coming, it can't be avoided, and the plan naturally needs to be changed.

　　"We can't fight now." Ryota shook his head: "Once Gorgon dies, we must start the decisive battle beforehand. The preparations on my part have not been completed, and the time has not yet come. The time for the decisive battle remains unchanged."

　　"Okay." Gilgamesh immediately agreed: "Though there are some problems, but I will help you contain it, allies, be prepared."

　　At this moment, there was a roar from below.

　　Several Servants had already come out to meet the enemy.

　　Ugallu, the sun lion, could rival Servant, but the humans of Uruk could not overcome it.

　　Ryota looked down and found that Ana, Ushiwakamaru, and the others were attacking some Ugallu with all their strength, as if they were going to exterminate these powerful Demon Beasts first.

　　Only Ana, who had sealed her own divinity, was struggling so hard, and the scythe couldn't even penetrate Ugallu's skin. If Quetzalcoatl didn't follow suit, she might become the target of a beating.

　　Really, only Ana was beaten...

　　In the distance, Gorgon also saw a scene where Servants were fighting Demon Beasts.

　　But she didn't move for the moment, staring at another goddess, Quetzalcoatl.

　　The sight of the two goddesses seemed to be of average quality. When they looked at each other, the air was slightly distorted by magic power.

　　"Quetzalcoatl, are you going to break the agreement with me?"

　　Gorgon takes the lead in the interrogation.

　　"I'm just standing here, and I didn't do anything to you. How could this be a breach of contract?"

Quetzalcoatl swung her weapon and crushed several approaching Demon Beasts to death, and said in an indifferent tone: "Besides, our pact has been broken, I am your enemy now. Actually, I've wanted to try your skill for a long time, using a human's body as a nest to cultivate Demon Beasts. You still dare to do it!"

　　She grinned as if smiling. But there was no smile on her face, it was just anger.

　　Daring to humiliate the human she loved like this, she had been annoyed for a long time.

　　"Cut off contact with me over a boring question… Hmph, the goddess who was on the side of the humans was really unreliable from the start."

　　Facing the Quetzalcoatl, Gorgon's huge eyes also showed a vicious killing intent.

　　"Forget it, I never expected you to wait. The treaty only limits non-interference and attacks against Uruk. Since you took the initiative to tear up the pact…"

　　Gorgon's gigantic body straightened up: "Today, I will destroy humans with my own hands. Your intelligence will stop here!"

　　In the next second, a red-black magical light exploded in the air.

　　The snake head protruding from Gorgon's hair opened its huge mouth, aimed at the city wall of Uruk, and spewed out more than a dozen lightning-like attacks.

　　It was a petrified light.

　　Not only can it turn living things into petrification, but the magical impact of each light itself is enough to match the release of the anti-city treasure.

　　However, to Gorgon's surprise, there was no feedback after the attack.

　　It was as if she didn't do anything just now.

　　However the magic power that had been consumed proved that the attack had occurred.

　　"Hmm?"

　　Gorgons could only look forward.

　　The city walls are still there, without any damage.

　　The defensive soldiers standing above it were also intact.

　　Gorgon subconsciously thought that Quetzalcoatl had done something. But soon, a strong sense of presence suddenly caught her attention.

　　She subconsciously shifted her gaze and landed on a human youth.

　　The other party was very small, but contrary to common sense, he exuded an aura that she couldn't ignore at all.

　　It was as if the Demon Beast wasn't her, but the other party.

　　"Who are you!"

　　Gorgon realized something was wrong.

　　Before coming here, Kingu had told her that in the plains of Mesopotamia, there was an unknown force that exterminated all the Demon Beasts.

　　Could it be this person in front of her?

　　The other side.

　　Hearing Gorgon's questioning voice, Ryota ignored her.

　　He simply said to Gilgamesh who was standing up: "You don't need to worry about delaying Gorgon's work, just replenish your strength and concentrate on preparing for the final battle, and leave the rest to me."

　　"Are you sure you won't delay your preparations?"

　　Gilgamesh couldn't help but ask more questions.

　　Ryota is related to the odds of winning the final battle, so there's no problem at all.

　　"No." Ryota replied, "I have a measure."

　　"Okay."

　　Gilgamesh doesn't insist anymore.

　　Long before, he had agreed to the identity of the other party's "commander-in-chief".

　　"Hmph…, who is pretending!"

　　Maybe Ryota's casual chattering attitude made Gorgon angry, she radiated a strong aura all over her body.

　　It seemed that even the magic power that was released carried an extremely deep and deep malice, which made people dare not look at it directly.

　　BOOM.

A thunderous explosion spread.

　　The petrified light shot toward Uruk again.

　　The strange scene repeated itself.

　　The special brilliance made of magic power dissipated into nothingness in the air before even approaching the city wall

　　Gorgon saw clearly this time, shock on her large face.

　　At this time, Ryota spoke up.

　　A not-so-loud voice crossed the battlefield against common sense and entered Gorgon's ears:

　　"It's useless, you can't destroy my domain."

　　The air vibrates.

　　A huge domain appeared, covering the entire city of Uruk.

　　All of the Servants seemed to have sensed something, and looked around in astonishment.

　　Those who have signed a contract with Ryota can intuitively feel the movement of soul power.

　　Now all of Uruk was filled with the aura of soul power.

　　Moreover, in front of the city gate in the north, where the Demon Beasts gathered, the concentration of soul power had reached an extremely high level.

　　It was an aura of evil.

　　It seemed that anything that entered that space would usher in destruction — this feeling welled up in everyone's heart.

　　That's the truth.

　　Representing the domain of evil, it is located between Gorgons and Uruks.

　　Ryota's "Bridge of Evil" continues to flow power, allowing all order to return to nothingness, forming a canopy wall that protects Uruk.

　　Everything that has form and bearer dies upon entering this domain.

　　This even includes light.

　　Gorgon's petrified light was completely lost within it.

　　"Oh?"

　　Gilgamesh showed surprise.

　　"This..."

　　"My power, after Uruk's defense, leave it to me."

　　Ryota said to him: "Gilgamesh, you can open the barrier, recover your magic power, and release your full fighting power."

　　"Haha... a reliable ally!"

　　Gilgamesh burst out laughing, his joy undisguised.

　　He is so excited!

　　Half a year... He had maintained the Uruk barrier for nearly half a year.

　　During this period, no matter what he did, he would be shackled, even if a powerful enemy attacked, he had to resist the urge to do so.

　　When Tomoe Gozen died, he couldn't help her.

　　It was really frustrating, but now it's different. He was finally able to act fully.

　　It's just that Gorgon can't be killed, and there are no other enemies worth fighting against, which makes him feel a little regretful.

　　"Who are you? Report your name!"

　　Gorgon's roar is heard again, interrupting the conversation between Ryota and Gilgamesh.

　　That voice was full of magic power, it was not an ordinary roar, it must have used the innate skill, Scream of Fear.

　　Unfortunately this magical power does not cross domains.

　　The Uruk warriors remained on the defensive line without faltering in the slightest.

　　"Stop wasting your effort."

　　Ryota looked at Gorgon and reminded her.

　　"Since I've made my move, you have no chance of catching Uruk."

　　"Arrogance!"

　　Gorgons were furious.

　　Her purple hair fluttered in the air, and the huge snakehead at the end of her hair opened her mouth wide, spewing out a flash of red and black.

　　Dozens of rays of magic light exploded, blasting towards Uruk in a sweeping manner.

　　But the next second, all flashes went out.

　　The magic power that exploded in the air disappeared, as if it had never existed.

　　"Impossible!" Gorgon's astonishment almost turned into panic: "My Mystic Eyes… Who are you!"

It didn't matter if her previous attack was prevented.

　　Now, even the Mystic Eyes that she activated with all her strength were unable to injure the opponent at all. This phenomenon completely surpassed her cognition and common sense.

　　"My name isn't well known, and you wouldn't even know it if I told you."

　　Ryota didn't seem to be on the battlefield at all, and said in a very even tone.

　　"Retreat, after 10 days of decisive battle, before this is the ceasefire time, don't make useless attacks."

　　"Nonsense!"

　　Seeing that the other party didn't even bother reporting his name, Gorgon's anger instantly rose.

　　"Arrogant man, don't think that if you have the means to deal with Mystic Eye, you can defeat me. Today I..."

　　"Retreat."

　　Ryota spoke again.

　　The domains he opened developed accordingly.

　　In an instant, the outside of the city on the north wall was also shrouded.

　　In the next instant, all generations of raging Demon Beasts were reduced to ashes, and the ashes immediately dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

　　Ugallu of the second generation of Demon Beasts also died one by one without surviving a few seconds.

　　Ana, Ushiwakamaru, and the others stopped fighting, their expressions all confused.

　　Why did the enemy suddenly disappear?

　　At the same time.

　　"What are you doing… aaaahhh!"

　　Gorgon screamed in pain.

　　She felt her own immortality activating, and she was struggling against the consumption of some kind of power, causing her immense pain.

　　Magic power is consumed quickly.
