I really didn't want to burn it.

But Enkidu could still sense the bitterness in her words.

If she could, Ereshkigal certainly wouldn't want her underworld to be damaged.

Putting aside how much this Queen of the Underworld values her territory, Ereshkigal will have to devote a great deal of energy to dealing with the subsequent restoration of the Underworld and the potential crisis of creatures from the Underworld running to the human world.

The title of Queen of the Underworld represents not only the power to manage the underworld, but also a responsibility.

Ai Lei's ease and smile were merely a facade.

"..."

Enkidu remained silent.

He knew that Ellie was right. If Tiamat could be completely eliminated in the Underworld, it would be worth it even if the Underworld was mostly destroyed.

But should Ereshkigal bear this cost?

"Then, entrust the guarding of the Gates of the Underworld to me. I will ensure that the changes in the Underworld will not affect the mortal realm. Lord Ereshkigal."

Enkidu bowed respectfully to Ereshkigal.

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Enkidu."

Chapter 218 The Bull of Heaven Will Never Be a Slave!

Sealed space.

Boom!

Violent collisions continued to occur.

Li Ang, wielding the Chains of Heaven, and the Bull of Heaven, whose eyes were already bloodshot and who was almost in a berserk state!

"Moo!"

The Bull of Heaven grinned mockingly at Li Ang, as if he were taunting his opponent for being a mere scraper from start to finish.

However, despite the Bull's relaxed expression, he was actually getting a little anxious inside.

His enormous size meant that Li Ang's attacks rarely missed.

Despite the Bull of Heaven's thick hide and tough flesh, it couldn't withstand Li Ang's continuous attacks.

More importantly, the inability to defeat Li Ang for so long has distorted the mindset of the Bulls.

Several times it tried to bite Li Ang directly with its mouth, as if only by chewing Li Ang to pieces with its teeth could it relieve its hatred.

On the other side, Li Ang, who was floating in mid-air, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb.

"Tsk, what a hassle. No wonder some people say that if you can't subdue a charging bull, don't wave your red cape."

At this moment, Li Ang was also panting heavily.

Not only his clothes, but also his wounds, Li Ang didn't waste his magic to heal them.

Now, his body was covered in mud, sweat, and blood, making him look dirty and miserable.

but--

"How amusing, how much longer can you hold out... you beast?"

Li Ang laughed heartily.

The ground was riddled with holes after being attacked by the Bull of Heaven's flames, lasers, stomping, lightning, and other attacks.

"Moo!"

A beam of light, thicker than a person, struck again!

Li Ang spun around, but the next moment his vision was filled with fireballs.

"cut!"

Li Ang shook the chain in his hand, and the Heavenly Lock - Long Staff form reappeared.

"Home run!"

The chains, enhanced by runic magic, struck the fireball.

boom!

The fireball suddenly exploded violently.

The intense light was like a small sun rising in the sky.

"Moo~"

The Bull of Heaven narrowed his eyes and let out a sound that was clearly laughter.

During the battle just now, several of the fireballs it fired were deflected by Li Ang, and some even burned its body.

For example, the black mark on the right rump of the Bull of Heaven was burned by the fireball that Li Ang threw back.

Although the Bull of Heaven is just a bull, it is still intelligent as a divine beast.

After experiencing the same thing several times in a row, the Bull of the Sky played a trick and released a fireball that would explode upon contact.

By using his cunning to outmaneuver the unsuspecting, the Bull of Heaven succeeded.

At this moment, Li Ang was already engulfed in flames.

"Moo!"

The Bull of Heaven exhaled a heavy breath through its nostrils, proclaiming its victory.

In its view, no matter how powerful Li Ang was, if he tried to withstand this level of explosion and high temperature with his bare body, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

however--

"Moo—!"

The Bull of Heaven's pupils suddenly contracted!

His beastly intuition made him sense danger.

puff!

Even with flames engulfing his body, Li Ang broke through the fireball and charged towards the Bull of the Sky, wielding the Chains of Heaven.

"Ouch...that hurts...you beast, you actually tried to play dirty tricks on me!"

Even though he smelled slightly burnt, Li Ang was still full of energy.

"Moo!"

The Bull of Heaven charged at Li Ang with flames erupting from its head.

"You idiot! It's ungentlemanly not to reciprocate!"

Li Ang threw the chain at the other intact horn of the Bull of Heaven.

Swish.

The seemingly sturdy Heavenly Lock staff suddenly softened, and under Li Ang's control, it wrapped around the still intact horns of the Heavenly Bull.

Then, Li Ang used all his strength to pull downwards—

"Moo—!"

Amidst the Bull of Heaven's screams, Li Ang pulled the Bull of Heaven down and slammed it to the ground.

boom!

Its massive body kicked up a cloud of dust.

Then, Li Ang abandoned the chains in his hands and concentrated the runes on his hands.

"Runes Reappear—Giant Hunter Fills—Noble Phantasm Materialization—Karna—Sun Wheel, submit to death! (Vasavi Shakti!)"

The God-Slaying Spear, imbued with the special attack of a giant beast, reappeared in the sealed space, gleaming with golden light, and swept away all impurities for its master.

Li Ang raised his spear, which was made of runic magic, and thrust it forcefully into the body of the Heavenly Bull.

"Moo!"

The Heavenly Bull barely managed to prop up its two hooves, using its body to withstand the God-Slaying Spear.

boom! boom! boom! …

A series of explosions rang out.

The Bull of Heaven was pushed and dragged backward for hundreds of meters in the explosion, leaving a deep dent in the ground.

As for Li Ang, he was thrown away by the explosion.

"call--"

Having barely managed to stop himself, Li Ang glanced at his hands, which were bleeding from the tiger's mouth, and began to use runes to heal his wounds.

He usually ignored ordinary wounds, but he needed to treat the area between his thumb and forefinger, which could affect his future moves, as soon as possible.

"Hehe, now you know how powerful I am."

Li Ang looked at the Bull of the Sky with a cold smile.

It seemed that he had lost this encounter. But Li Ang knew that the Bull of Heaven was more seriously injured than he was, judging from the blood flowing from its mouth—this guy was suffering from internal injuries.

Moreover, it can heal its wounds with rune magic, which only consumes a little magic power. But no matter how tough the Bull of Heaven is, it cannot heal itself and can only rely on its body's self-healing ability.

This gave Li Ang the advantage.

"It's almost time."

After finishing his treatment, Li Ang wiped his hands.

The battle with the Bull of Heaven has lasted for more than half a day.

If they keep fighting, Li Ang's energy will run out.

Compared to himself, that beast, the Bull of Heaven, could probably keep fighting for another two or three days.

Li Ang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"So... next... it's time to start showing the real technology."

"Moo!"

The Bull of Heaven seemed to understand the meaning behind Li Ang's words, and it made a clear clenching of its teeth to show its displeasure.

Li Ang then loosened his knuckles to allow his hands, which had just undergone treatment, to adjust slightly.

"I am coming--"
