Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

It turned out that it was all Goetia's fault. It seems that my involvement has completely changed the situation of the seventh singularity.

The chess player behind Ren Lishao couldn't hold back any longer and took control of the game himself.

Xia Yuan didn't say anything about Quetzal's guilt and Li Shuwen's emotion.

There was no consolation or blame.

The number of casualties in Uruk during this migration reached several thousand, and the Red Hare was seriously injured because of the first breakout. He is still receiving treatment in the tower of Uruk. This is a very heavy number for Quetzal, the goddess who regards the Ur warriors as her own people. At this moment, she is also in extreme anger, and there is no need to say words of comfort.

Of course, being able to save two-thirds of the team while being surrounded by more than a dozen Demon Pillars and being pursued by Humbaba was already a very rare achievement.

Although Karna seems to have returned to the Seat of Heroes.

But this was a precious achievement he achieved with his life, as it not only saved Quetzal, but also enabled most of Ur's soldiers to successfully reach their destination.

I am proud of you, Karna.

Da da da--

After bidding farewell to Quetzalcoatl, Xia Yuan returned to Uruk without any hesitation and went straight to the divine tower where Gilgamesh was.

This time the scene in the divine tower was no longer as lively as it was at the beginning.

The residents who had been reporting matters, the priests who were passing through had disappeared, and even the guards at the door had disappeared.

This scene seemed much more desolate and lonely.

On the throne in the divine tower, Gilgamesh, who looked a little tired, saw him appear, lowered his eyes slightly, and forced a smile on his face.

"It's great news to see you've returned safely."

"Did you return safely..."

Xia Yuan shook his head slightly, "No, as a Master, you couldn't even bring back your own Servant. How can such a result be considered a safe return?"

"No... In the face of such a sudden situation, not only did you not completely annihilate the army, but you also brought back three quarters of the people safely. In my opinion, this is a very commendable result. Initially, I was planning to hold a grand celebration banquet for you and the Ur soldiers' migration, but now it seems that there is no need to hold it."

Gilgamesh rubbed his messy head, then stood up from the throne and spoke to Xia Yuan below.

“King Ur, since your city-state has joined the Uruk that I rule, it is time for you to assume your responsibilities as a king. I will not treat you as a host and look down on you. At this moment, our statuses are equal. Come and experience with me how great it is to work overtime for twenty hours a day!!”

"You worked overtime for twenty hours a day, but you didn't die from overwork. You are really strong, Gilgamesh..."

Hearing Gilgamesh's joking words, Xia Yuan shook his head slightly and refused.

"Although I really want to stay in Uruk and work overtime with you. But now is not the time to deal with such things. I have more important things to do."

Gilgamesh frowned, then asked, "Something more important?"

"Ah."

Xia Yuan replied seriously: "I believe you can see that in order to resist the disaster that will eventually come, we still need more strength."

"The entrance of the Demon Pillar, the resurrection of Humbaba, the unknown Demon Goddess, and even the Demon King. Our enemies are becoming stronger and stronger. No one knows when the final disaster will come, so we need more help right now."

More help?

Gilgamesh looked at Xia Yuan with a strange expression and thought carefully about this so-called help.

With the appearance of the Demon God Pillar, the number of monsters began to increase exponentially, causing the monster front that was able to resist to immediately fall into a disadvantage. These monsters even began to evolve in a targeted manner according to the situation of the monster front...

He felt troubled by these terrifying enemies that were like locusts and could not be killed. Even though he was trying his best to deal with the surge in the number of monsters, he still could not see any good results.

After all, his energy was limited in terms of the number of people, but the number of Warcraft was endless, and at the moment, he had no better solution except to rush into the Blood Temple and annihilate the Warcraft Goddess in one fell swoop.

But given Uruk's current situation, it was already exhausted from just passive defense, so how could it have the energy to organize Uruk's combat power to counterattack the Goddess of Warcraft? Moreover, their enemies at the moment were definitely not just Warcraft.

Even the soldiers, Quetzalcoatl and Leopard People brought by Xia Yuan only filled the gap in this area so that they would not be crushed. It is indeed time to increase their combat support.

And looking at Mesopotamia, the only guy he knew who could be considered a helper seemed to be...

"That useless goddess!!"

Chapter 216 The True Power of the Third Magic

"You mean Ishtar?!!"

A not-so-nice image suddenly appeared in his mind. Gilgamesh couldn't help but frown and his expression distorted.

Although he didn't want to have anything to do with that rubbish Ishtar, he had to admit that he was indeed a great help, especially with the Bull of Heaven in his hands.

Even the earth beast, Humbaba, who was once killed by himself and his best friend, has been resurrected, and the battle is urgent.

But now Enkidu is no longer here, and he has long lost his former bravery due to being busy with the affairs of Uruk.

In the entire Uruk, the only one who could fight against the monster was the Quetzalcoatl brought by Xia Yuan.

"..."

After thinking for a long time, Gilgamesh sighed, covered his forehead, and said helplessly: "I understand. I will consider your opinion."

"Go out and take these soldiers from Ur to the camp arranged by Leonidas and set up camp. Let these soldiers have a good rest for the night. Time waits for no one. Tomorrow we have to report to Leonidas and Arjuna to fight. You should have no objection to this arrangement, right?"

Gilgamesh would not send soldiers who had just experienced a migration and were exhausted both physically and mentally directly to the battlefield.

If possible, he also wanted his soldiers to recuperate in Uruk for two days like the Chaldeans, and then return to battle after they have recovered to their best condition.

But time waits for no one. Whether it is the Warcraft front in the north or the south, the situation is beginning to become worse and worse. The number of Warcraft continues to increase, and there is a huge risk of failure at any time.

Therefore, Gilgamesh had to shorten the originally planned two days of rest to one night, and send more soldiers to the battlefield tomorrow.

"Don't worry, they are not indulging in grief. On the contrary, my warriors have long been eager to try, and..."

"They have already made the corresponding awakening, an awakening that far transcends death!"

Having said this, Xia Yuan's eyes became extremely cold, and the aura on his body was different from the anger he showed at the beginning, but became extremely calm.

This huge change made Gilgamesh vaguely aware of something unusual, but before he could ask the reason, Xia Yuan below sighed softly, and looked at Gilgamesh as if he had made some decision.

"Hero King, I have learned the general situation from Li Shuwen and Quetzal. At this moment, most of the soldiers on the Uruk Warcraft front should have been injured by the sudden attack of the Warcraft, right?"

Xia Yuan didn't express any unnecessary tone fluctuations, he just asked indifferently.

But this extreme calmness even made Gilgamesh feel a little uneasy.

What is this strange feeling?

"Well, one third of the soldiers died in the monster's attack, and nearly half of them were seriously injured and had lost their ability to fight. Most of them are now struggling to survive in the sacrificial tower, and many of them are praying to Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, for death to come and help them relieve their pain at this time, hoping not to add any more burden to Uruk..."

Gilgamesh did not hide the dire situation in Uruk from Xia Yuan.

That night, countless unprecedented monsters suddenly appeared on the monster front, catching the Uruk soldiers off guard.

Not only that, several demon pillars appeared on the battlefield, commanding the monsters to launch an unprecedented terrorist attack on Uruk.

Many soldiers were burned to ashes by the scorching light released from the Demon Pillar's huge eyes before they could even comprehend the situation on the battlefield. Even the front isolation line was torn apart in an instant.

Then a large number of monsters poured in and began to fight with the Uruk soldiers.

Servant-level combat power, Arjuna, Spartacus, Leonidas, Merlin, Anna and Mashu were unable to provide assistance to the soldiers because they were fighting against the Demon Pillar.

If it weren't for Merlin's illusion that isolated the Uruk warriors' physical pain, their fearless courage, and the brilliant star that Spartacus transformed into at the cost of his life to shatter the two demon pillars, the situation would have been even worse.

Rather, it can be said that achieving the current situation is the result of the best efforts of the Uruk warriors.

"That's it."

After getting an answer that was similar to what he expected, Xia Yuan sighed, then raised his eyes and looked seriously at Gilgamesh on the throne. Under the sunlight in the tower, his slender body made his shadow look a little longer.

After thinking for a long time, his expression seemed to have some subtle changes that were hard to see. Then he raised his eyes slightly and asked Gilgamesh.

"Gilgamesh, you mean that there are many warriors in Uruk who are seriously injured, have completely lost their ability to fight, and are dying, right?"

"Um...that's right."

Gilgamesh frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling. But seeing Xia Yuan really speaking, he could only answer truthfully.

"They are all in the shrine, under the care of Siduri. What's wrong?"

"That's it..."

Xia Yuan nodded slightly and asked Gilgamesh the last question of this trip: "Do they desire power? Do they desire to return to the battle, to kill the monsters with their own hands, and to continue to protect Uruk?"

"What on earth do you want to say?!!"

Hearing this, Gilgamesh had already realized that something was wrong with Xia Yuan.

Even such weird questions can be asked.

"It would be too unfair to these warriors if they could only exchange their lives and sacrifices for the enemy's insignificant pawns. Human life is not that cheap. So, I want to use my own methods to eliminate those monsters and deal with the Demon Pillar."

Xia Yuan's eyes still showed no joy or sadness.

He then spread out his palms, a ball of white light danced in his palms, and a faint light began to slowly swirl in his palms.

The special magic power symbolizing the third law and the unspeakable terrifying force were now displayed before Gilgamesh without reservation.

This is the miraculous power that can only be born after a magician reaches the root of what he has been pursuing all his life.

This is the pure third law, the unique power of the soul called materialization.

It is also the absolute power that he has always kept hidden and not willing to use easily.

In fact, the true power of the so-called third method is not the rough thing manifested in battle.

Whether it was the infinite magic power or the extreme healing he performed, they were just the tip of the iceberg of the Third Law's abilities.

Its true value is the materialization of the soul.

It is an absolute force that acts on the soul and on life.

As long as this ball of light is applied to the soul of a human or living being, the unique magic power of the third method can be distributed.

Transform the fragile life with flesh and blood into a true soul creature, turning it into a special existence close to a high-level fantasy species, thus possessing infinite magic power and a powerful body that is almost immortal.

To put it in simple terms, it means becoming his dependent.

It's similar to how the True Ancestor created Dead Apostles.

He once believed that this power was a blasphemy against life and was unwilling to use it on humans other than himself, and he did not need so-called followers.

But it's different now...

The intrusive Demon Pillars and countless magical beasts are about to overwhelm the front line. Faced with this fundamentally unequal match, for the sake of the remaining humans.

At this moment, he wanted to distribute this power that desecrated life.

He made all the seriously injured Uruk and Ur soldiers in the divine tower become his followers.

Give them the power to not lose to anyone, and then launch a counterattack against the monsters.

Have an undead battle with those damn monsters.

He is the third magician, able to release the power of law on a large scale for transformation.

At the same time, he can also engrave his will and limits into the soul, ensuring that he can control these new followers and prevent the situation from getting out of control.

"You guys, do you want to turn those soldiers into that kind of creatures?!"

Sensing Xia Yuan's intention, Gilgamesh on the throne lost his composure, quickly stood up, and shouted at him: "Don't forget! They are human beings! Your behavior is simply..."

"Desecrating life, isn't it?"

"Of course I know about this. But I also said that I will use my own method to protect the fire of mankind. This is the best way right now."

"At the same time, I will also give them the right to choose whether to die with a sigh and hatred and return to the underworld, or to offer their souls to me and become invincible heroic spirits, continuing to burn themselves and protect mankind."

"May the dead rest in peace, and the living inherit. These people who are between life and death will dedicate themselves to become important bargaining chips in this war, and I will use them as bargaining chips to slam the face of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Yes, humans who receive the power he bestows will become immortal soul creatures.

Even if the monster is defeated later, it will not be possible to turn back into a human being. As expected, it will gradually lose its emotions and completely turn into an emotionless soul over a long period of time.

But believe in the choice between waiting to die and burning yourself.

At this moment, all the soldiers in Uruk would choose the latter.

They are human beings who have transcended life and death, and are human beings with brilliant spirits.

If they were afraid of death, they would not stand on the front line of the Warcraft. What they really fear is their own powerlessness, unable to continue to protect their homes, and can only return to the underworld with resentment.

Gilgamesh:"……"

At this point, the answer was obvious and he said no more.

Although he was unwilling to accept this choice, reason told him that Xia Yuan was right.

There is no better solution than this right now.
