Fanaticism, turbidity, and tyranny.

A voice that transcended all this fear resounded in my ears.

"But it doesn't matter."

Unlike those enormous monsters that resemble goddesses, this is a king who reigns supreme over all fear.

Click.

He twisted his neck, making it squeak and creak, a chilling sound.

"Whatever this thing is, I'll make sure it stays quiet from now on."

Accelerator, the number one in Academy City.

Another monster from a different dimension joined the fray.

The battlefield is becoming increasingly outrageous.

Chapter 610 The Stone Eye

Boom——

Before any conversations could take place, a new wave of riots had already begun.

In front.

It was the sound of a body larger than a skyscraper trembling.

Crash! Countless rubble and clay collapsed, and from within them, countless snake heads with blood-red eyes emerged.

The enormous goddess of beasts rose again.

However, whether the posture of having a snake-like lower body can be described as standing up is still a question.

"Mr. Accelerator...!"

Having regained their mobility, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others rushed over.

Accelerator still had one foot on the ruins, looking up at the huge snake shadow.

"Is that guy one of the 'Three Goddess Alliance' members?"

"Tiamat, the Mother Goddess of Beasts... at least that's what they say."

As Merlin spoke, he tapped the ground with the scepter in his hand.

A landscape resembling flower petals then unfolds.

"So, judging from the current situation, you must have come to rescue us, right?"

"Tsk."

"Don't look so dangerous. You must have a reason for going to all that trouble to come all this way, right? In that case, I'll leave this to you for now."

Although he was very annoyed by what the white-haired magician said, it was indeed Accelerator's thought at that moment.

After confirming that he could move, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew quickly looked at him.

"Accelerator! Ushiwakamaru...she's already..."

The two girls' expressions immediately became uneasy.

click-

At the same time, the earth was torn apart, and countless sounds came again.

“You lot, get out of here right now. Head straight ahead and you’ll reach the northern wall area of ​​Uruk.”

"But! If you stay here alone...!!"

It was precisely because they had witnessed Ushiwakamaru's fate in fighting the goddess alone that Matthew and Fujimaru Ritsuka were unable to let go of their worries.

"...mere human beings."

But it was too late for them to do these unnecessary things.

"You think you can bring down the Mother Goddess of Beasts with just human power...? There's a limit to arrogance—insects!!"

boom--! ! !

A silent hum burst forth from the air.

"Ugh——!"

"Senior...it's...the same kind again...!"

But that wasn't a real attack; not a single blade of grass or tree in the surrounding area was damaged.

The goddess who called herself Tiamat stared intently at everyone present.

This is simply oppression.

It possessed a power powerful enough to instill fear in all living things on Earth, and it pressed down relentlessly on everyone around it.

"This is bad...! This overwhelming sense of fear is something that can't be resisted by willpower alone! Fujimaru, Matthew! You two need to get out of there right now, or your muscles will freeze up!!"

"You're saying that too late... Doctor...!!"

Now even the muscles are completely stiff.

He couldn't move even a single finger, and even speaking became extremely difficult.

Under these circumstances, it would be incredibly easy for the Beast Goddess to kill him.

But then.

It's like a hedge, that terrifying sense of oppression that permeates the atmosphere.

—It was offset.

Boom! In some corner of the world, a sound as if a conflict had truly erupted.

Hmm...?!

What happened? When Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others came to their senses and looked back at what was in front of them—

The presence that stood in opposition to the oppressive aura of the goddess was right there.

"What?"

Even the goddess herself couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

That oppressive fear, born from the very instinct of life, is something that no living being in the world can resist.

I was actually intimidated by the aura of a human being.

"How...how is this possible! If that Servant is really the mother goddess Tiamat as I said, then that oppressive feeling should be directed at all living beings on Earth!"

Humans cannot withstand that oppressive atmosphere.

Even Servants are the same. Although Matthew, as a Demi-Servant, is still essentially human, his physical attributes are no longer those of a simple human. Nevertheless, he is still suppressed by the aura of that goddess.

But this person...

Accelerator, a level 5 esper with white hair and red eyes.

He just stood there, doing nothing.

That's all.

Something invisible yet permeating the air began to confront the oppressive aura emanating from the goddess.

His own aura and sense of oppression completely neutralized the terrifying aura released by the goddess.

"Impossible... that a human body could do this! That's just a fantasy!"

Romani Archiman's voice also came through the communication.

This is a result that cannot be explained no matter how many analyses are conducted.

After confirming this, the first thing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew confirmed was that their bodies had regained their mobility.

"Fujimaru, Matthew, if you're going to leave, now's the time."

"…I see!"

Although I'm really worried about the situation with Accelerator, there's no time left for them to choose.

Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched her teeth tightly.

"Mr. Accelerator... please survive! No matter what, we must promise to meet again in Uruk!"

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

The only response to her voice was a confident yet extremely hoarse one.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others no longer hesitated.

They began to speed towards the north wall of Uruk at full speed.

But at the same time--

Countless golden chains descended from the sky.

Puff——!!!

Before anyone could even move, the chains had already pierced the ground and then surged out from the depths of the earth.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew's bodies were pierced through the heart in one go.

"Foolish... Do you think I'm superfluous, apart from Mother?"

The figure falling from the sky was none other than Enkidu.

He casually toyed with the golden chain in his hand, looking at the crowd with a mocking smile.

But next.

Those figures that should have become corpses all vanished.

Like fallen petals.

"Varied…?!"

"Oh, then I'll borrow your words a little, Enkidu."

The voice did not belong to either Matthew or Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Instead, it was just a white-haired figure standing behind that, holding a magic wand.

The Flower Magician spoke with a light laugh.

"You don't actually think I'm just superfluous standing here, do you?"

Illusion.

Merlin, the magician from the courtyard of Avalon, could create even an entire village in illusion if he used such illusions to his heart's content.

It's not just an illusion that can deceive people.

It is also a force that can intervene in the spiritual world and thus influence reality.

call--

As the flowers bloomed and faded, the moment Enkidu realized that it was all just an illusion, Merlin's figure had already vanished from the spot.

Along with Fujimaru Ritsuka, Matthew, and Anna's bodies, the entire group was affected.

They all turned into countless peach-colored petals.

"Damn it... that damn magician!"

Enkidu reconsidered what they had said before.

The meeting place was on the north wall of Uruk, which was... in front of the city gates where King Gilgamesh was located.

Once we get there, we can catch up with these Chaldea scum.

Boom! Enkidu's body flew towards the North Wall at high speed.

The enormous snake shadow also intended to move forward together.

But all of this was forcibly stopped by someone before that.

boom! !

Several tongues that were about to extend were easily caught by two hands.
