Or, why don’t you find another savior?

"Master, leave this to me." Altria stretched out her hands to her sides and clenched them.

The armor woven with magic power appeared in an instant, and even more magical power gathered in her hands.

The holy sword is enshrouded in the Wind King's barrier, and its true appearance cannot be seen.

The last time he saw this weapon was many years ago, and Shiomi couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic at this moment.

"Then I'll leave it to you to take the lead, Knight King!"

"Don't retreat... As long as we have the protection of the forest, our sun is invincible. To put it simply, at least bring some gifts, idiot!"

boom--!

Artoria released her magic power and rushed out like a cannonball. The invisible holy sword collided with the leopard man's weapon wrapped in golden magic, and a strong wind suddenly blew up.

In just a short moment, the Leopard Claw Gun and the Holy Sword clashed more than a dozen times.

"Invisible sword!" said the leopard man, "but I can see meow!"

"So……"

Realizing that the leopard man has an extraordinary wild instinct, even if he cannot see the sword hidden by the Wind King's barrier, he can still clearly grasp the measure, preventing Altria from gaining the upper hand with the invisible sword.

Since concealment has lost its meaning, then there is no need to conceal.

After a thousand years, the holy sword was retrieved again. This was the first time that Altria had drawn the sword in a long time.

"'Wind King Hammer'!"

She aimed her sword at the leopard man's spear and released the compressed air in one breath, turning it into a linear magic attack.

The leopard woman easily dodged the close-range attack, and her entire figure disappeared from Altria's sight.

"this is--"

Altria looked back and saw that the leopard man had already climbed onto the wall of the temple and was quickly climbing to a higher height.

"You are also a goddess? Then there is no need to hesitate!"

Using the wall as a fulcrum, the Leopard Man had already rushed back to Altria as she turned around, and gave her a flying kick.

A flash of red light.

The red spear slashed from top to bottom, but the leopard man was able to change direction immediately and kicked towards the body of Shiomi's spear, and then the leopard man's kicks were as dense as bullets.

Chapter 16 Failure

Seeing the only weakness of Zhu Qiang who was supporting from the side, the Leopard Man's amazing strength almost made Xi Jian lose his grip and failed to catch Zhu Qiang.

"Such power..." Xijian gritted his teeth.

This was the first time he faced a true god-level servant.

Different from Altria during her goddess period, the leopard woman undoubtedly possesses the power of a main god. What is attached to her should be one of the famous sides of the smoke mirror in Aztec mythology.

But since he is the main god and a deity, he is not invincible.

What’s more, they are not fighting alone.

The Leopard Man's continuous flying kicks ended with a heavy roundhouse kick. Shiomi seized the opportunity and used the gun to hook the bend of the Leopard Man's instep, exerting force to one side to interfere with the Leopard Man's next move.

An uncomfortable chill ran up the back of the Leopard Woman's neck. She turned over and clamped Xijian's red spear with her feet, then turned around to meet the other red spear.

"…You really can't judge by appearance."

Despite being attacked from three sides, the Leopard Man still held on.

"There's something unpleasant about you, are you the godslayer?" The leopard man grinned, as if all the confrontations so far were just warm-ups for her.

Of course, this also applies to the three of them.

To defeat the Leopard Man single-handedly, whether killing him or subduing him, is almost a fantasy.

Leopard people have an inherent skill called "Leopard Protection", which is a protection given by the leopard spirit, so even when facing a dangerous three-sided attack, leopard people will not feel the slightest fear.

Nor will they become numb due to the pain of battle.

Simply put, it is an ability that combines inherent skills such as bravery and intuition.

This is one of the unreasonable aspects of the gods' followers.

What is even more unreasonable is that this force can fight against three people at the same time.

With just his feet, he was able to immobilize Shiomi's red spear, and he was able to grab Scathach's red spear with one hand, and then use his weapon to block Altria's sword.

This comes from another inherent skill of the Leopard Man - super strength.

"Don't forget there's another person."

Right above where several people were fighting, Morgan's magic was completed and he aimed at the leopard man and fell.

Shiomi let go of the gun, and the three of them dodged in three directions at the same time, and the magic exploded with the Leopard Man as the center.

It was not successful.

Without the touch of Magic after the hit, the Leopard Man was still able to dodge with enough speed in that state.

Too strong to be right.

Morgan secretly deduced that this city swallowed by the forest might have brought enough local advantages to the Leopard People, so that all her basic abilities were improved and she could deal with various unfavorable factors more effectively.

In order to eliminate the geographical advantage, an inherent barrier is needed.

The leopard man would probably retreat to a distance where he would not be sucked in at the same time as the inherent barrier was opened, at that incredible speed.

"Get out of the way, Master!"

At the same time as the explosion, Altria warned Shiomi.

"Leopard Man - Flying Kick -!"

The kick that gathered magical power swept towards Shiomi's body.

"cut--"

This time it was Shiomi's turn to raise his gun to block, and the second red spear blocked the leopard man's flying kick.

"Why... do all this? Imprisoning the people of Ur in this forest and leaving them to die in silence, is this what a god should do?"

Shiomi, who raised his gun to block, was kicked and slid back a few steps.

“Some people are willing to work hard, while others are unwilling to work hard. This will never change, no matter what era it is.”

The leopard man did a backflip and jumped up, avoiding Altria's attack that was intended to cut him in half.

The leopard man slowly descended from the sky and spoke in a leisurely tone.

"It is this balance that allows human society to prosper in the long run. I can see that you are all people who work hard silently and wholeheartedly, but if you deny those who are unwilling to work hard because you work too hard, I will think that this kind of life is very sad."

Looking at the leopard man falling to the ground, several people did not rush to attack. No one expected that this god who seemed to be only wild and irrational could actually say such humane words.

Are these the values ​​of the gods themselves, or the values ​​brought by the possessed humans?

Maybe there is still a possibility of negotiation.

"It does sound reasonable, but it's impossible for an entire city to give up and accept the status quo." Xijian stretched out his hand, and the red spear that had been released earlier flew up, and the tip of the spear slowly turned towards the leopard man in the air.

"Well said, my husband." Morgan also raised her hand, and magic gathered in her palm. "Those who force them to choose the option of not wanting to work hard have no right to say that we are sad."

"Leopard Man Charge——!"

Sensing that the magic in Morgan's hands resonated with the space in front of her chest, she disappeared from her original position at the moment of the space explosion and ran straight towards Morgan.

"Drink!"

Artoria released a torrent of magic power, dodged into the leopard man's attack path, and collided with him.

"Mind your own business." Morgan frowned.

"Whether she's my sister or the Master's wife...we are companions now, so of course we have to take care of each other." Altria glanced at the smoke coming out of the armor.

It was a very powerful blow. If you didn't use offense as defense and just defended yourself, you would suffer a lot of damage.

"Although they are fierce, they are also a group of good kids, meow—" The leopard man looked very happy, "Although they seem to be older than the big sister! Kukul must have seen it too, and he must be very happy!"

Her words jumped back and forth between being irritating and full of humanity, making it hard to tell whether they were logical or illogical.

Shiomi slowly looked for the opportunity to launch the next attack.

And the biggest problem now is how much the group will have to pay if they get rid of this leopard man.

The Kukul mentioned by the leopard people is most likely Kukulkan in Mayan mythology, and the feathered serpent in Aztec mythology.

Another main god who is equal to Smoke Mirror.

And he even makes the Leopard Man obey his orders. I'm afraid that unlike the Leopard Man who is most likely a possessed spirit, Quetzalcoatl is most likely... himself.

Once the Leopard Man is dealt with, the Goddess of the Jungle will appear.

So far, they seem evenly matched, but if the Noble Phantasm is released...

Suddenly, Romani's urgent voice came from the communicator:

"I'm so sorry during the battle! The northern wall of Uruk has come under a massive attack!"

"What? The number of monsters has increased?!"

"No, it's the Demon Pillar! Solomon's Demon Pillar appeared on the northern wall! It has been confirmed that there are twelve pillars!" Romani urgently notified, "Director and his men are having a hard time defending, please retreat as soon as possible to provide support!"

Shiomi gritted his teeth and rushed towards the leopard man with his red spear. Together with Morgan and Scathach's magic, they caused an explosion in the square.

The leopard man jumped to the top of the temple to hide, only to hear the crows' cries, because the four men were no longer visible in the damaged square left by the battle.

"Instant transfer, meowhahahaha!"

The leopard man burst into laughter, and no one knew what she was laughing at.

Chapter 17 A Critical Moment

The attacks by the Warcraft army encountered by the northern Warcraft front were not continuous, but irregular, like a natural phenomenon.

Sometimes it may happen at noon, and sometimes it may happen in the morning just after the two groups of soldiers have taken over.

It even happens in the middle of the night...

Precisely because the exact time of the attack could not be determined, a wall was built across the Mesopotamian plain in the north as a defensive fortification.

One of the tasks for the girls who stayed in Uruk to assist with internal defense work was to climb the city walls and participate in the battle to defend against monster attacks and destroy the city walls.

It should be so.

A large number of monsters ran out from the end of the horizon and rushed towards the city wall with roars.

In addition to the soldiers of Uruk and the servants who led the defense, a large weapon called the "Divine Seal" (Dingir) was also placed on the city wall.

According to the current assistant officer Gilgamesh, that should have been the responsibility of the "Hero King" of this period, but now he had no choice but to take out the "little remaining" treasure and fire it as a cannonball.

Although the treasures that Gilgamesh mentioned were "very little left", there was still no sign of shortage after half a year. Even Leonidas I guessed that this was just Gilgamesh's excuse that he didn't want the soldiers and civilians to relax because they had something to rely on.

And now, the massive attack of the monsters began at noon. Leonidas I, who was good at defending the city, led the soldiers of Uruk, the magicians and servants of Chaldea, and fought on the city wall.

Until those ominous pillars emerged from the earth.

Different from those magical beasts that cannot climb up the city walls that are more than ten meters high, the Demon Pillar naturally has a body that can support the sky. It drills out of the ground, reveals its true appearance, and then quickly climbs up the city wall to attack the defenders of the wall.

“Hmm! We can’t fire the Divine Seal at this distance…”

Leonidas I made a sound of labored effort. He had just repelled the Demon Pillar that was about to crush a team of city wall defense soldiers, thus buying time for retreat.

But it was just something I fought for.

The Demon Pillar obviously knew the threat of the "Seal of Divine Authority", so it hindered anyone who wanted to get close to operate it.

What's even more terrible is that when they first repelled one pillar, the people in charge of defense were still celebrating, but then another seven pillars of demons and the first pillar that the Wriggler dodged came and attacked the city wall again.

"This amount..."

Kallen, who was guarded by soldiers, raised her crossbow and shot while frowning deeply.

She was not good at large-scale magic, and this offensive method was more suitable for fighting against humans.

When you encounter a monster like the Demon Pillar, it's just a tickle...

"I have made up my mind. My shadow swings the sword!"
