I really didn't want to burn it.

"What the hell is going on? Are they putting on a Naruto movie here?"

Li Ang was shocked by Jingu's bizarre state at this moment. The fact that half of Jingu's body was black really resembled Obito, who was controlled by Black Zetsu in Naruto.

“Ut...Nabistim…”

When Jingu spoke in a woman's voice, Li Ang felt the sense of déjà vu became even stronger.

"Damn it, they're playing tricks! Never mind, I'll just throw a punch first."

Li Ang raised his hand and threw a punch.

Snapped.

Jin Gu raised his right hand, which was covered by Hei Ni, and steadily caught Li Ang's fist.

"Ok?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows and began to increase the force in his fist.

Click!

A crack appeared in the ground beneath Jin Gu's feet, and his feet began to sink into the earth.

However, despite being at a disadvantage, Jingu did not panic. Instead, he quietly competed with Li Ang in strength.

"Tch. This feeling... Why is all the black mud from Type-Moon like this?!"

The instant his fist touched the black mud, Li Ang felt something was wrong with his fist.

In the Type-Moon universe, black mud is quite representative, essentially a personification of the "negative" concepts within the Type-Moon universe.

Although the black mud in various Type-Moon works has slight differences in details, these differences are very small.

So far, Leon has encountered three types of black mud: the demonic pillar black mud from the Roman singularity, the "Evil of This World" from the Fuyuki Holy Grail, and the black mud from Tiamat.

Based on Li Ang's own experience, these three types of black mud are indeed different. The black mud from Rome has a strong devouring effect, the black mud from Fuyuki City amplifies people's negative emotions, and the black mud from Tiamat has the attribute of "transformation".

From the moment he came into contact with the black mud, Li Ang discovered that these things were undergoing "transformation," affecting both his body and his spirit.

"No wonder Ushiwakamaru turned to the dark side so thoroughly in the original work; this stuff really does have a brainwashing effect."

Li Ang's eyelids twitched wildly; the black mud's power was far more domineering than he had imagined.

“Ut...Nabistim…”

With most of his face covered in black mud, Jin Gu slowly spoke again, calling out Li Ang's name.

A person half covered in black mud, speaking to themselves in a woman's voice—this scene is truly bizarre beyond belief.

“Utnabistim…put…the Holy Grail…to me…”

Li Ang didn't speak. He first withdrew his fist, and then used runes to enhance it in various ways.

The golden fist illuminated Jin Gu's purple eyes, and only then did Li Ang notice that the other's pupils had turned into an abnormal "X".

"Mom...you try taking another punch from me!"

With a sharp look in his eyes, Li Ang threw a powerful punch.

Boom!

A shockwave radiated outwards from Li Ang's fist.

The ground within a radius of several meters was cracked open, and dust and gravel were ejected in all directions from the center of Li Ang's fist.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Uruk town center.

After Aya left, DD lost interest in continuing her confrontation with Koyanskaya. However, she didn't let the troublesome woman go unpunished, but instead pulled her by the wrist and brought her to Ritsuka and Mash's side.

"Ritsuka, Mashu!"

DD said to the Chaldea duo, "You two hurry up and get on the ship at the palace. I'll cover the rear here."

This was the task Li Ang had given her: to allow more ordinary people to board the Ark.

“Sister DD…”

Mashu wanted to ask for more details, but DD interrupted her.

"Stop talking, let's hurry up and go, the ship will be leaving soon if we're late." DD said, patting Mashu on the shoulder twice.

"This is what my master asked me to give you."

As DD spoke, Mashu felt a warm current flow through her body.

Although there was no evidence and no attempt was made, Mashu knew that DD had returned the weapons that Leon had taken from her.

Hmm, saying "took away" sounds a bit strange.

Because that was originally something Leon gave to Mashu.

"What exactly is Li Ang...?"

Mashu's question went unanswered, as DD grabbed Koyanskaya and ran off in the direction where Rakhmu had appeared.

"We're leaving, Mashu!"

Seeing that Mashu was still standing there in a daze, Ritsuka hurriedly urged her.

"I see."

Mashu nodded, and heavy armor reappeared on her body, while another shield appeared in her hand.

"Ah!"

Mashu threw out two shields.

With a heavy whooshing sound, the two heavy shields crashed through the air, knocking away several Rahmu before flying back into Mash's hands.

"sharp……"

Ritsuka, who was stunned, couldn't help but offer a compliment.

"..."

Mashu didn't reply. She swung her dual shields a couple of times, seemingly getting used to something.

"It feels different from before... Has Leon undergone any enhancements...? But why?"

Mashu's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Whatever happens, let's hurry and go find His Majesty Gilgamesh," Ritsuka shouted as she saw the Rahmu people surrounding them again.

"I see."

Urged on by Ritsuka, Mash quickly caught up with her Master, but her resolve to have a serious talk with Leon only strengthened.

With the two shields clearing the way, Mash led Ritsuka through several streets and finally returned to the palace in Uruk.

When they rounded the bend and the Uruk Royal Palace came into view, they quickly understood what DD meant by the ship he had been talking about.

A large, entirely wooden ship was moored in the square in front of the palace, and Uruk people with anxious and fearful expressions were boarding the ship under the guidance of soldiers.

Artoria and her Knights of the Round Table stood guard on the periphery of the crowd, protecting the civilians and tasked with eliminating the Rahmu who had intruded into the square.

“It’s so big…!”

Looking up at the multi-tiered wooden boat that occupied most of the square in front of the palace, Ritsuka looked up in admiration.

Is this ship useful?

Mashu looked completely puzzled.

Those monsters had limbs like knives, and the wooden ship was no match for them.

"These two girls are finally back."

Gilgamesh, seeing the two Chaldeans appear in the plaza from the bow of the ship, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"How many people have boarded the ship yet?"

Gilgamesh turned to the steward beside him and asked.

"Report: There are already 743 people."

"I understand. Once everyone in the square has boarded the ship, I will close the cabin door."

"...as you command."

The official wanted to say something, but at Gilgamesh's signal, he didn't speak.

"Now that you know, then go down."

Gilgamesh waved his hand.

After the official left, Gilgamesh rubbed his temples and sat down on the throne.

In fact, there are far more people still alive in Uruk than just those in the square. There are definitely survivors in other cities as well.

If he could, Gilgamesh would certainly want to save every one of his people.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Ordinary soldiers simply couldn't withstand the strength of those Rahmu. Sending soldiers to rescue them was practically giving the Rahmu a helping hand.

"The Knights of the Round Table are starting to feel the strain; we need to hurry..."

Looking down at the Knights of the Round Table fighting below, Gilgamesh slowly took out the communication device that Leon had given him and tried to contact them.

"Leon, Ritsuka and Mashu have arrived, and most of my subjects have boarded the ship. When shall we depart?"

"As soon as possible." Li Ang's voice sounded somewhat helpless on the other end of the line. "I'm facing a little trouble here."

"trouble?"

Gilgamesh felt a little strange.

On the other side, Li Ang looked at the group of muscular men who appeared in front of him, each of them holding a gun in one hand and a shield in the other.

dong dong!

The muscular men banged their shields in unison and roared at Li Ang.

"This is Sparta!" *N

"Yes, it's troublesome."

Li Ang replied to Gilgamesh with certainty.

P.S.: I left early this morning and didn't get home until tonight. I feel like I'm about to die. _(:з」∠)_

I'll correct the typos tomorrow. Mimi-chan is going to sleep now.

Chapter 231 Li Ang: I Hate Muscular Men

Uruk Royal Palace Square, Ark Deck.

Gilgamesh frowned upon hearing Li Ang say that things were a bit troublesome.

"Li Ang, what happened?"

Gilgamesh heard various sounds coming from around Leon, clearly indicating that a fierce battle was taking place.

“Leonidas has been turned against us by the other side using black mud,” Leon said succinctly. “I might have to be a little delayed here.”

You'd better hurry.

Gilgamesh urged.

"I try my best."

After saying this, Li Ang turned off the communication, indicating that the situation on his end was not optimistic.

Gilgamesh sighed helplessly, a hint of weariness flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, a guard rushed in to report, "Your Majesty, we have brought the two Chaldeans."

"Understood, have them come over."

Gilgamesh quickly suppressed his fatigue and put on a dignified and solemn expression again.
