Chapter 521 16: Immortal! (Part 2)
Looking at the expressions of the fully armed Uruk soldiers beside the cart, who also appeared suspicious and uncertain, it was only then that they could believe something had indeed happened just now.......
"Damn it... Is it the Flower Magician's trick again?"
With a face so gloomy it seemed about to drip water, Jin Gu angrily looked around at the new environment he suddenly found himself in, surrounded by cautious Servants trying to close in.
One was a pale-skinned, white-haired, red-eyed young female general clad in Samurai armor...
Another was a red-haired, red-eyed cold young man in Ninja Attire, his hair covering his right eye...
The third was a man in Priest's Attire, with white hair and a cloak draped over his brown skin...
They were Servants likewise summoned by King Gilgamesh using Uruk's grand cup: Tomoe Gozen, Fuma Kotaro, and Amakusa Shiro.
Initially, according to the trajectory of destiny, they should have returned to the Heroic Spirit Throne honorably by now, like Tomoe Gozen perishing gloriously against enemy generals in the beast battlefront, while Amakusa Shiro and Fuma Kotaro ventured into the Forest Goddess's territory to gather intelligence, never to return...
But now, due to the butterfly effect, certain changes naturally occurred in these events.
For instance, that day when the sword swung down, the earth-shattering scene unfolded with the Hell Dragon rising from the ancient abyss, tearing through thousands of Demon Beasts with Baofeng and torrents, not only easing the pressure on the beast battlefront but also maybe slaying the beast that forced Tomoe Gozen to use a mutual destruction move.
Hence, these Servants were still fighting on Uruk's defense line.
Overall, the situation in this Singularity was indeed much better than it originally was.
Jin Gu was naturally not unfamiliar with them, given how many times they had crossed paths in battles. His angry gaze passed over the Servants to the Flower Magician who was smiling confidently, disgusted by the repeated illusions played on him.
"Oh my, just made it in time, how terrifying, to rush over there directly... Also, your resistance to Spiritual Attack is becoming higher, I almost couldn't manage it."
Merlin spoke such sarcastic words while taking a small step back. Though he often claimed to dislike chanting spells, saying he might bite his tongue, preferring to use his sword directly in magic, situations vary, and engaging in close combat with the opponent would be nothing but suicidal.
Jin Gu snorted angrily, somewhat understanding what just transpired.
With a sudden swing of chains, crisscrossing through the air, piercing through the space, and tearing the ground into pieces!
Accompanied by what seemed like a signal of battle starting, the three Servants also attack in unison, the earth torn and smashed, weapons wielding strong air pressure leaving deep furrows in the ground.
......
Elsewhere.
The Chaldea group could somewhat guess something, but without orders to turn back and abandon this journey, they accelerated their pace instead, the long line advancing once more, with Uruk soldiers carefully pushing the cart along the road.
In the direction they advanced, a tall mountain loomed at the end, yet curiously sliced into two halves like a cake, with a narrow sky gap in between.
If in modern times, it might be one of the world's natural wonders; however, now it's the Goddess's territory.
It is said that the Ishtar Goddess flew out from Uruk to Mount Abif, establishing a Divine Hall on its peak to temporarily reside. It is also rumored that the Immortal dwells there, though more specific details remain unknown.
From that day forward, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash from Chaldea, the two young girls, tried diligently to foster cooperation, though King Gilgamesh did not make any hasty decisions. Calculations were needed to determine how much ore from the Treasure Vault could be transferred out for bribing the Goddess without affecting Uruk's subsequent usage.
They haven't been idle, running around Uruk to understand the fortress city situation, exploring the beast battlefront layout, and scouting other city groups where connections were lost, also fighting earnestly several times...
After comprehending this era and the plight faced by Uruk's people, King Gilgamesh's attitude towards them shifted.
"At the foot of the mountain..."
After a day's travel, they finally arrived at Mount Abif's foot at nightfall.
Fujimaru Ritsuka decisively made a decision: "Let's rest here for tonight; tomorrow we'll ascend... Anna, I'll count on you next."
She earnestly looked at the small-statured girl wearing a cloak and hood.
Though Merlin claimed to have other important matters, and couldn't accompany them, he had sent Anna to assist.
Despite the girl's mysterious demeanor hinting at hidden secrets, she seemed more trustworthy than Merlin, with Mash and Anna as Servants escorting them, making the journey relatively safe, and able to easily deal with encountered dangers... As long as it's not a scenario where Jin Gu, occupying Enkidu's body, strikes from the Illusion Realm.
