David looked at the hole in front of him.

"Is the ark in here?"

"Ah. I searched for what she felt was wrong according to Lord Artemis, and the last thing I found was the holy relic."

Saying so, she looked at Lixiang and the others.

"By the way. Because I stayed on this island for a long time, I don't know what's going on with the sea now. Can you tell me what happened? For example, those huge creations that rose into the sky. "

"about this--"

At that moment, silence fell suddenly.

A strong sense of [threat] swept over everyone present, and their nerves were tensed because of the huge sense of existence.

Then, Roman's words detonated the sudden silence.

[A high-intensity magical reaction appeared! !Right behind you! ! ]

Everyone raised their weapons at the same time and took a stance, turning their heads to face behind.

There was nothing behind them, but this did not mean that Roman's observation was wrong.After all, this strong sense of threat is not fake.

Then, the voice sounded.

At first it was thought to be the sound of the wind, but then everyone realized that it was the sound of something huge knocking down the trees.

Accompanied by that slow sound, the thing slowly appeared from the depths of the dense forest like a noble lady.

The upper body is squinted, and the whole body is a white woman.At the same time, there is a mixture of coquettish and ugly figures, as if telling the essence of blasphemy.

The lower body is a fat, two-tailed serpent.Spotted skin covered it, and fresh blood dripped from beneath.

That thing is undoubtedly the ugly aggregation, the materialization of the word monster.The Goddess of Earth, who continuously and infinitely gave birth to the enemy of mankind, and the Nymph, who is eternally young.

"That is!"

Atalanta said so, subconsciously drew the bow.

"I should have realized it when I saw so many monsters!! Odysseus, you bastard—"

As Orion shouted, his bear eyes turned crimson.

"what is that?"

Li Xiang asked.

Then, the goddess of the moon gave the answer.

"Eckardana."

■Simple Mythological Survey on Echidna

The goddess named Ekadna is the wife of Typhon, a goddess who has always been in a state of rage.However, she herself, who can give birth to monsters, is not so famous in Greek mythology.

Unlike her, who is not very famous, her children are famous.

The immortal Nemean lion, Cerberus guarding hell, the two-headed dog of Erythia, Ladon guarding the golden apple, Chimera, which has become synonymous with suture monsters, and the same Egyptian Sphinx Si, the Hydra Hydra, the condor that ate Prometheus... and so on and so on.

...It turned out that almost half of this guy's children were killed by Hercules.

In some legends, she also fathered a child with Hercules.

...This guy and Hercules really have an unexpected relationship.

■【Chaldea Master】Fujimaru Tachika

"Ekadna..."

[The mother of all monsters who gave birth to monsters indefinitely... I see, is this how Odysseus' army of monsters came from? ! ]

"No, this guy is so capable of giving birth?!"

Li Xiang said with a little surprise.

"The magical beasts that can cover an ocean are all produced by her? Not so much the mother of all monsters, this guy is basically a barracks in RTS games!"

[And it looks like it can beat people, it seems to be from the elves. ]

"...Roman, you actually played that?! No, now is not the time to talk about this—since this guy is Odysseus's barracks, did he put this guy here?!"

As far as consequentialism is concerned, Lixiang's conjecture is correct.

When Odysseus was looking for a place to house Echidna, he discovered the island of Atalanta.Although at that time he regarded Atalanta as a simple wild servant, he still made some arrangements.

He placed Echidna on the other side of the island, and issued an order to Echidna [if anyone else lands on the island, attack the people on the island].

"...Speaking of which, Echidna..."

Li Xiang looked back at the entrance of the cave where the Ark of the Covenant was placed.

"...Is she a god?"

[She in the myth is indeed a god, yes, this one... no problem, the reaction of the gods can be detected.While seemingly irrational, it appears she is indeed a god. ]

"That's troublesome..."

The girl let out a long breath.

"—Everyone run!! You can't fight her here!! It's too close to the Ark of the Covenant!!"

Anyone can understand it just by seeing Ekad's huge body.It is impossible to guarantee the integrity of the surrounding environment in the battle with the huge goddess in front of him.

Everyone around also thought of this, so they immediately turned around and ran after giving Eckard the blow.

Their purpose was to attract Echidna's attention and hostility, and make her take the initiative to stay away from the Ark and chase them.

It is commonly known as pulling hatred.

As far as the result theory is concerned, this time the hatred was very successful.

Echidna had the task of killing them, but now he was attacked again.So she locked on to everyone who was running away, and launched an attack on them.

So, she started [production].

As Lixiang said, the nature of Ekadna is closer to the barracks in rts games.By consuming resources called magic power, she can synthesize various monsters in her body with the genetic gene data template in her body.

And the [Barracks] attack naturally produced [Soldiers].

The whistling of the storm came.

The Iron Condor, flying at a speed far beyond the speed of sound, turned into a supersonic cutting knife, and just passed by Tachika and the others, cutting off a piece of tree and blowing it away.

Then there was another howling sound of dogs, and Orion, who was observing behind everyone, saw two two-headed dogs in total.

"The production speed of three in about 30 seconds?! Bastard! And even two-headed dogs and condors can be produced instantly. How much magic power has this guy accumulated?!"

Although it is not impossible to defeat the condor with the current combat power, but there is no time to defeat the condor by normal methods.Two two-headed dogs were chasing after him, not to mention that Eckard could produce three monsters in just 30 seconds.

"sorry!!"

——So, Van Gogh decided to use something unusual.

She rushed forward and became the second spirit foundation.She wrapped the condor's wings and claws with several tentacles and stretched its mouth open, then she stretched more tentacles from its mouth, and released rays from its body with the tentacles.

Perhaps Condor didn't expect to be attacked like this, and its reaction was a few beats slower.The result is that it didn't have time to respond to Van Gogh's attack, and it was destroyed from the inside everywhere.

...that scene was kind of scary to be honest.

But everyone didn't care about this. After all, now is not the time to care about such things. There are two two-headed dogs chasing behind... Well, they are not chasing at all. It seems that they were frightened by the way the condor died.

However, the main purpose of everyone's escape was to lure Echidna away from the vicinity of the Ark of the Covenant. Before this purpose was completed, they could only run away.

In order to prevent the possibility that Ekad suddenly stopped chasing, the three archers in the team also shot a few arrows at the eyes and mouth of Ekad's upper body.

"……shit."

Orion suddenly said that.

"Hoarding a large amount of mana resources, Ekadana, who has the ability to produce three-headed and two-headed dogs in one go—in short, this guy hasn't produced a monster for 30 seconds!!"

This is really a bad thing.

In other words, Echidna is accumulating power at this moment, in order to create a bigger enemy.

Then the roar of the lion sounded.

Then came the first trial of Hercules.

Immortal Lion of Nemea.

11. Warcraft Carnival

□Island of the Ark ·East of Central

In order to lure the goddess Ekadna away from the ark, Lixiang and others ran away with all their strength.

In order to defeat the enemy in front of him, Echidna gave birth to heirs while moving his body.

So began the too primitive escape battle, the forest was easily defeated, and the legendary monster came back as a matter of course.And the development of this battle and the result it elicited—in a word, it is the reenactment of the Twelve Trials of Hercules.

"Roar----!!"

The roar of the giant lion shook the ground, and the surrounding broken and smashed trees were shattered and blown away by the shock wave of the sound.

【First Trial】

Immortal Lion of Nemea.

It was a gigantic magical beast that Ekadna consumed a large amount of mana resources and produced in a total of [-] seconds.

"It only takes ninety seconds?! It's too fast!!"

Li Xiang couldn't help shouting.

After all, ninety seconds is not a long time at all. If it only takes ninety seconds to produce a Neami lion, this fight is useless.

"Because Eckard has hoarded a lot of magic power resources... only she and Odysseus know how much there are, but at least they can't expect to use them up in a short time."

Orion said so.

He is just a puppet bear, almost all of his power is in Artemis.Because of this, he can observe the entire battlefield more carefully than anyone else.

The Niami lion is a huge lion that runs as fast as a high-speed rail and is invulnerable to bullets and guns—however, it is only a comparison with ordinary lions.

About two heavy motorcycles, that's about its size.It constantly opened its huge mouth and waved its sharp claws, blowing away all the obstacles in front of it.The archers kept shooting at it with arrows that could pierce steel, but of course they couldn't hurt it at all.

"Roman! How did Hercules kill this guy in the myth?!"

[In simple terms - knocked out, then strangled. ]

The immortality of the Niami lion is only superficial.

It actually suffocates, and a physical attack powerful enough to stun it.In mythology, it was strangled by the arms of Hercules.

"Strangle to death... Maybe I can do it if I am summoned with my own body."

Orion (bear) looked at his puppet paw.

"I'm quite strong, although this appearance is not convincing."

"—No, no problem, as long as you know that brute force works."

Lixiang stopped and raised his hand engraved with the command spell facing the lion that was rushing towards him.

"Lend me a little bit—Hercules!!"

Eternal brilliance, Lixiang and Da Vinci modified and adjusted Chaldea's secret spell [Shadow of Spirit Base] together.

As long as the current world doesn't have that follower himself, and Li Xiang has at least one chance with that follower.Then, his shadow can be summoned - this summoning is [real-time update].

He fought against Hercules, and now Hercules has returned to the Seat of Heroes.Although the Noble Phantasm cannot be used, Tachika can summon Hercules.

"Then... stay with me for a while, Asterios!!"

——Not to mention Asterios, who signed a contract with Tachika.

Two shadows of servants with great power were summoned, and Li Xiang, who was not in a healthy state, knelt on one knee and coughed because of the sudden increase in burden.Even so, she did not forget to manipulate the shadow of the Servant. The two giants, one black and one white, just held down the Neami lion and made it inhumanely dying.

The two-headed dogs who had managed to catch up were frightened again, but this time not by the death of the Niami lion but by the shadow of Hercules.The gene map that is their source still remembers that he was beaten to death with a wooden stick by this muscular man.

The archers seized the opportunity and immediately hurled arrows and flying stones at their weak points to kill them.Matthew ran to Lixiang and helped her up with a shield.

"Senior, are you alright?"

"...My magic circuit's endurance is much worse than I thought, and I obviously have something like [Holy Child Physique], which is an exaggerated name."
