I really didn't want to burn it.

After all, Tiamat's monster status is definitely higher than this cow's.

"Moo!"

Suddenly, the Bull of Heaven shuddered.

Sensing danger, Li Ang immediately moved away from it.

"Moo... Moo moo!"

The Bull of Heaven slowly rose from the ground.

No, considering the bison's identity as a four-legged animal, "got up" would be a more accurate description.

The Heavenly Bull's eyes were bloodshot and had turned red. White mist spewed from its mouth with each breath, and the entire bull was on the verge of going berserk.

"Moo—!"

The Bull of Heaven let out a terrifying roar!

Perhaps because of his limp, the Bull of Heaven looks like a wounded tiger.

But the way it howls at the sky makes it seem more like a wild wolf at night.

"Moo!"

The Bull of Heaven lifted its broken leg and slammed it heavily onto the ground—

Click.

Despite the excruciating pain, the Bull of Heaven severed his own leg completely.

stab-

The Bull of Heaven used its mouth to tear off the severed lower leg along with its hoof!

shhh-

A large patch of blood stained the ground red, as if a light rain had fallen.

thump.

The bull of heaven spat its hoof onto the ground.

The huge hoof landed on the ground with a heavy thud.

"What? Are you planning to use the swimsuit event boss to decide the winner?"

It wasn't that Li Ang was making things up; the large hoof that was torn off really did look quite similar to the hoof model in the game.

However, Bull of the Sky is clearly not a Newtype called NT, and naturally does not have the ability to control his legs out of thin air.

"Moo—!"

The Bull of Heaven let out a muffled groan that sounded to Li Ang like someone taking a dump.

However, this old ox was not excreting, but rather regenerating its broken hoof.

A brand new golden hoof grew from where the Bull of Heaven had been broken off.

thump.

The Bull of Heaven rubbed its new hooves on the ground a couple of times, then shook them vigorously, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Hey...isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Leon thought the bull was just as utterly insane as its owner (Ishtar).

Even an ordinary person knows which option to choose between treating a broken leg and growing a new leg.

[Host, are you familiar with withdrawal symptoms?]

"of course I know."

This could be considered a reverse application; using extreme pain to adapt, all for the sake of...

"In the battle to come, I'll be able to withstand the pain. Just how much does this guy hate me...?"

With a soft sigh, Li Ang looked at the monster before him.

That's right, the Heavenly Bull before us has become a complete monster.

"No pain response... Could it be the Heavenly Bull Super Beast form? Is this telling me to learn from Director Ai of the Land of Light's meat processing plant and not stop until it's dead?"

Li Ang rubbed his cheek, his face full of gloom.

While Li Ang remained silent, the Bull of Heaven was engulfed in flames.

"Moo—!"

The bull of heaven is laughing.

In its view, it is now invincible.

It has nothing to fear now.

Even if his mother Tiamat stood in front of him, the Bull of Heaven believed he could defeat her.

"It's just wishful thinking."

Upon seeing the "translation" given to him by the system, Li Ang curled his lip.

That's it?! Go beat up Tiamat?

If it can really be done, Li Ang will truly thank it.

but……

"I need to be more serious too, I can't afford to make a mistake..."

Li Ang took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Given the current state of the Bull of Heaven, it wasn't impossible for him to crash and burn if he wasn't careful.

"This cow is really bothering me... I need to find a way to distract it."

Li Ang clenched his fists, assuming a posture ready to attack.

Just then, a strange cry came from the sky.

"Meow~ Awooo—!"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Night in Uruk.

"Huh? They want us to go to Eridu?"

Ritsuka tilted her head and asked Merlin for confirmation.

After the group returned to Uruk, Merlin immediately assigned them a new task.

“That’s right…?” Merlin nodded and smiled. “To defeat Tiamat (Gorgon), Marduk’s hand axe is essential…”

Ritsuka asked, "So... there's a place called Eridu where Marduk's hand axe is located?"

"Is that so?? That weapon that was sure to kill Tiamat (Gorgon) is now in the territory of Quetzalcoatl, the third pillar goddess of the [Three Goddess Alliance], and the territory she controls is Eridu~??"

"Okay, I understand. I'll take Mashu-chan to Eridu tomorrow." Ritsuka gestured for Merlin to stop talking.

Even though she had already witnessed it in the British Singularity, Ritsuka was still very uncomfortable with Merlin's verbal tic of "~??"

"It's so good that you understand, Fujimaru~?" Merlin turned to Mashu, who hadn't said a word. "Um, Mashu-chan~ What's wrong? You've been looking so gloomy~?"

Mash has not only her colleagues (Lancelot, Gawain, Agravain, etc.) standing behind her, but also her superiors (Artoria, Mordred, etc.).

Therefore, Merlin's attention to this pink-haired little eggplant far surpasses that of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Mashu looked at the night sky and said worriedly, "Um... Phil hasn't come back since he ran away..."

Although Mashu knew that Phil appeared to be a cat but was actually a dragon, she was still very worried about him being away from her for so long.

"Why did Phil leave me back then? Did I disappoint him?"

Overwhelmed with self-reproach, Mashu clutched her chest with both hands, her eyes glazed over.

“Mash Kyrielight, you mean this black cat, right?”

A familiar, arrogant male voice rang out, and Gilgamesh appeared before everyone.

He was holding a black cat with messy fur in his arms.

"Meow~"

The black cat let out a weak meow.

"Phil!"

Mashu was both surprised and delighted, and she immediately took the black cat away.

Others also gathered around, asking Phil what was wrong.

"Hey, hey, don't you think I'm more important than this cat?"

Gilgamesh, feeling neglected, let out a voice of resentment.

Chapter 220 However, Merlin had already seen through everything.

Snapped.

Merlin slapped Gilgamesh hard on the shoulder.

"King Gilgamesh, regarding why no one welcomes you, I think it would be better if you went to Miss Siduri yourself to find out."

"Merlin, you bastard..."

Gilgamesh's lips twitched violently. Sending him to Siduri was no different from walking into a trap.

Ah, there are still differences.

Siduri would not use physical punishment, but hours of sermons plus a lot of administrative tasks were already torture for Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh shrank back, a little worried, when he thought of Siduri's soft yet undeniable voice.

If I were to turn myself in to Siduri now, she would definitely give me a good lecture.

However, if he doesn't go, Siduri will definitely be even angrier, and in the end, the enemy will still target Gilgamesh.

and so……

"Let's wait and see."

Gilgamesh thought to himself that he didn't want to hear someone nagging as soon as he got home.

Can't people even get a proper rest?!

Completely oblivious, the wise king thought he could secretly deal with the backlog of government affairs first, and then go to Siduri to receive his punishment.

In this way, considering that she has already completed all the work, Siduri's lecturing should be a little easier.

Unfortunately, Gilgamesh completely forgot that all the political affairs were piling up in Siduri's hands.

His work inevitably involved the high priest, so Siduri's sermons were unavoidable.

Of course, it's also possible that Gilgamesh didn't forget, but rather that Siduri's presence was so natural that he never paid close attention to the workflow.

"Ah, you lot are really something. I finally managed to get back before dark, and all you care about is this little cat."

Gilgamesh sat down in a seat to the side, cursing and swearing, his face full of resentment.

The sharp-eyed Merlin noticed Gilgamesh's constant rubbing of his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, are you injured?"

Merlin's heart jumped into his throat.

Could it be that something unexpected happened during the mission to capture the Bull of Heaven?

even--

Merlin immediately thought of the worst-case scenario: Gilgamesh not only failed to capture the Bull of Heaven, but was also seriously injured.

"Making trouble at such a crucial moment! Leon, you've really gone too far! I'm going to tell Artoria about you!"

Merlin's angry yet anxious expression almost made Gilgamesh burst out laughing.

"A little bit, after all, it's a ferocious beast."
