The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

“Gilgamesh, you look much stronger than before, but there’s one thing you’ve got wrong: the one being considered is you.”

Gilgamesh's magic is achieved through the magical artifacts within the treasury, which can be described as quite brutal and overwhelming with sheer quantity.

In this way, Manju's not-so-sophisticated magic tricks could come in handy. The light reflected in the smoke mirror summoned the night, and an invisible wind was blown up to dissipate the magic.

Chapter 141 Choice

Gilgamesh is simply using the great magic of the Age of Gods that exists in his wand and Mystic Code, at least in terms of its form, it is no different from when he was Archer.

However, compared to that time, simply using a wand and magical artifacts to utilize the divine magic stored within them consumes almost no magical power.

After all, the magic that is released is inherent in the things taken from the treasury; it only requires magic power to activate, not to construct the magic.

Upon seeing that the dozen or so magic spells he had released as a test were directly blown away, and that gust of evil wind was blowing towards him without stopping, the floor below changed color, from the color of earth and stone to a somewhat greenish black.

"Everyone, step back. I must defile this throne. You dare to test me? Then go ahead and try, but don't waste my time."

Behind Gilgamesh, more treasure vault doors instantly opened, and hundreds of golden vortexes appeared simultaneously. Various powerful staves and magical artifacts treasured in the vaults were selected and launched in a coordinated barrage.

Even the wind, which has no form and is simply blowing, is inevitably scattered under this barrage.

The invisible wind that had been blowing vanished without a trace on the ground, replaced by something far more terrifying.

Since the gentle breeze isn't strong enough, let's make the wind even stronger.

The summoned pitch-black night sky appeared at the top of the entire palace, covering it and seemingly pulling it into a barrier of darkness.

This is not a venue for setting the atmosphere, but an environment created for the wind that was summoned.

The pitch-black night sky was dotted with twinkling stars, as if the top of the palace covered by the stars had transformed into a boundless universe.

Until a strong wind blew from above, stirring up the darkness and scattering the scattered stars.

"A king is like the sun. Come and face the demon bird that has stolen the sun, and break through the darkness of the sky. If you are defeated like that worthless bird, your right to be king shall also be stripped away. Abandon your city and flee to the deserted wilderness."

The gale blowing from the pitch-black night sky was not real wind, but rather two pitch-black wings being fanned.

That was the demonic bird that once stole the sun, now draped in the colors of night, it transformed into the night wind and blew down from the sky.

But people could not see the shape of the large, black bird; all they saw was a pitch-black chaos, as if it were something formless and intangible.

All you can see is that everything in the sky is scattered and broken, as if it had been blown by the wind.

Because the wind at night is something that cannot be seen or touched; it is an invisible wind, a mystery that no one can see.

Even Gilgamesh's far-seeing eyes, capable of seeing into the future, could not accurately spot the large bird lurking in the dark night sky as it swooped down upon him.

But Gilgamesh always had some warning signs in his mind, telling him that danger was indeed rushing towards him.

The wands and magical artifacts retrieved from the treasury were constantly being activated to unleash powerful magic from the Age of Gods, but most of these spells were unable to strike the invisible wind.

However, such a wide-ranging attack will always hit the target. Even a blind cat can catch a dead mouse. As long as no gaps are left, no matter how you try to hide, there will be no space to dodge.

But this was not a wind that could be easily stirred up as before; it was a terrifying thing capable of knocking the sun down from the sky and taking it away from the sky.

The Aztecs' fear of the mythical bird was like their fear of the black panther that foreshadowed the impending destruction of the world by the first sun.

The black panther devoured the world, and the demon bird stole the sun; the world was thus destroyed twice.

In this singularity, in Sumer at this moment, Uruk is undoubtedly the center of the world.

What difference is there between the fall of the king here and the fall of the sun from the sky? When Uruk is also abandoned, the world is no different from destruction.

As a Caster, Gilgamesh couldn't unleash much power in this kind of battle.

After all, his magic power at this moment was not only used on himself, but also on several Servants and the places needed by this city.

Gilgamesh could only draw his wand again, and the doors of the Babylonian vault opened to the limit of his power.

He took out all the usable magical artifacts he had hidden in his treasure trove; the number was probably not a thousand, but at least six or seven hundred.

The bombardment of pure magic finally shattered the entire tower. Fortunately, the building was constructed layer by layer, so the bottom wasn't hollow and it all collapsed as soon as it was destroyed. However, the palace had already vanished.

The tower temple was reduced by two stories, but the pitch-black night sky it created also disappeared with the destruction of the palace.

The invisible wind that blew through the night also disappeared, and the demonic bird that devoured the sun vanished with the disappearance of the night.

Gilgamesh's final target was not to find the invisible demon bird, but to bombard the entire palace with all his might to destroy the simple magical barrier that had been set up.

When the barrier is destroyed, the familiars created by the barrier also disappear.

"Hmph! Let me tell you, my eyes can see through the truth of all this. What is a mere barrier?"

Gilgamesh did not appear flustered, after all, he had not even broken his own self-restraint.

He is not a Servant now, nor is he a Caster, although he is not limited to using magic.

This is nothing more than self-discipline, a way to conserve one's own magic.

"Very well, it seems you're going to wait for me to ask the question?"

When Gilgamesh saw that Manjushri did not respond, he did not wait any longer and asked directly.

Gilgamesh really didn't have much time to waste; we've all seen the priests who were protected when the palace was destroyed.

"King of a foreign land, who bears the great power of the god-king Marduk, your abilities are even more outstanding than I expected, and you are worthy of my assistance."

I, the King, grant you permission to borrow the power of Uruk. Any of the remaining fortified cities should be quite welcoming to someone with your power, and whatever you wish to do, you should be able to get a response.

But Uruk doesn't need that yet. Uruk is a city that should be protected by me, and it doesn't need to rely on any more power.

Gilgamesh did not intend to use Manju's power to stay in Uruk, but rather to send him to other fortified cities.

This would actually be better for easing the situation, as Brooke can still hold on, but it's hard to say about other cities.

At least among the northern cities, only Nippur can hold out for a while; the destruction of the other cities under the monsters' onslaught is probably only a matter of time.

"Alright, let's get back to work. We've already wasted a lot of time."

After speaking, Gilgamesh remained calm and stood on the ruins, allowing the priests to continue reporting to him.

“Uruk doesn’t need it? Hehehe… That’s good news. But I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Bring me the tokens that can command power, and the people who can be used as witnesses.”

Manju had nothing more to say to Gilgamesh at this moment. At least Gilgamesh, who had returned from his adventure, was much better in character, and his actions at this moment were entirely for the sake of the city.

Continuing to play around here is pointless; in fact, it seems rather unreasonable.

Since I've already gotten what I needed, there's no need to waste any more time here.

"Siduli, I'm leaving this matter entirely to you! It will be troublesome, but you should be able to handle it. Don't use more than 30% of the resources, so as not to affect the battle situation on the North Wall."

The task of arranging people for Ba cannot be done by just any priest; the matter of lending out power still needs to be handled by Siduri.

(5) Upon receiving Gilgamesh's order, Siduri handed the clay tablet she was holding to the other priests and walked over from the other side.

(7) "Then there's no problem. Now that the deal is done, as a guest, I can't be too unreasonable. Let's restore everything to normal."

Liu Manshu nodded in satisfaction, and a cloud of smoke rose from the ruins left by the two men's battle.

Within seconds, smoke covered the entire area, and then a gust of wind blew from somewhere, dispersing the smoke, and the destroyed palace stood up again.

3. “Continue to watch over your city, Gilgamesh.”

Si Manshu turned and walked down from the tower, and Siduli followed quickly, obeying the king's command.

4. "The high priest over there, Merlin must have escorted a few people to Uruk not long ago, right?"

Ermanshu wasn't in a hurry to do what he needed to do; instead, he first asked the Chaldea members about their tasks.

"Yes, they arrived in Uruk a few days ago. I arranged their accommodations. Do you know them too?"

Siduri was still wondering what Manju was going to do next when she was surprised to find that Manju's first question was about Chaldea.

"We can be considered acquaintances. Take me to see them first. Then introduce me to the remaining fortress cities. Since Gilgamesh doesn't need my power in Uruk, and after all, mobilizing the entire war effort isn't something I want to do."

For Manshu, dealing with so many government affairs every day is torture. You might as well send him to the Warcraft front to kill Warcraft for a day.

The current situation still requires Gilgamesh. The Beast Goddess Gorgon is not difficult to deal with; the trouble lies with Kingu beside her.

If the group can't get rid of Gorgon for the time being, maintaining the battle situation will require coordinated planning and deployment.

"Now, the cities in the north have been almost completely destroyed, with only Nippur remaining. Behind the absolute monster front erected by the King, there are still cities like Lagash and Gilsu in the east, and Larsa in the south."

Siduri led the way for Manju and introduced him to the remaining cities of Sumer.

There are indeed not many cities left now, mainly because the Gorgon offensive is too fierce. Half a year of attacks has almost wiped out all the city-states in the north.

Quetzalcoatl swallowed the two most important cities in the south, leaving him with very few cities.

Needless to say, Nippur is a great city that connects heaven and earth.

Lagash was one of the largest cities during the Early Dynastic Period, although it was not recorded in the Sumerian King List. However, more than 100 years later, it once claimed to control a large territory stretching from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea. The city's guardian deity was Ningirsu.

The other cities were small, relatively unknown towns, whose rise to prominence occurred much later.

During the Early Dynastic Period, the largest cities were Eridu, Kish, Lagash, Uruk, Ur, and Nippur, with Ummar to be added later.

"There's only Nippur left in the north. Hmm... there's not much point in going to Gilsu, so I'll go to Nippur instead."

Aside from Nippur, all the other cities are located behind Uruk, so going there doesn't seem to make much sense.

Moreover, considering the possibility of Tiamat waking up later, it's better to choose a location that is far away from the Persian Gulf.

So although there are still a few options, after a little thought, only Nippur remains.

The remaining cities are the ones that can't do anything now, and will suffer first when the final battle comes.

That would definitely not work, since Manjusaka still needed to build a temple there. If it were destroyed during the war, wouldn't that be like cutting off one's own arm?

"This is it. They happen to be off work today, so you've come at a good time."

Chaldea's rest stop is a three-story building with a decent-looking mosaic exterior made of nails. After all, it used to be a tavern, so it needs some decorations to attract customers.

Siduri knocked on the door, and Mashu opened it. She greeted Siduri with delight, and then, seeing Manshu following behind, her joy deepened as she greeted Manshu in return.

Mashu welcomed the two in, then ran to call Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, and they all came out and sat down around a table.

"It seems you're doing quite well in Uruk and have gotten used to this era."

"Yes, life here is still full of mystery and endless fun. My senior and I have completely adapted to this place."

Mashu was in high spirits as she replied.

"Then keep doing what you're doing and move in the direction you want to go. I just happened to be passing by and took a look."

"Are you planning to leave already?"
