At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

Without followers of equal divinity, we would not be able to fight at all. "

Looking at the Leopard Man's spear that shattered the earth——

Listening to Merlin's words, everyone was already stunned.

That - that monster is really... a god? !

In the heavy rain, Merlin's serious and low words enveloped everyone's hearts like dark clouds in the sky.

Everyone looked at Guda and found that Guda's expression was unusually shaken.

Merlin: "Unfortunately, we'll stop here this time."

"You're right...

Be obedient and offer up a living sacrifice to make peace with the god (the cat). "The Leopard Man also smiled proudly at this time.

"Of course, we must follow the customs of Tezcatepolica..." Just as he was about to finish his words, the Leopard Man was attacked by Anna again.

While praising Anna's perseverance, can she still continue to fight? On the other hand, he began to beat him ruthlessly again.

Merlin began to urge Guda to make a decision quickly.

At this time, Mashu also expressed her trust in the Master. No matter what decision the Master made, she would just implement it.

"...This...is so embarrassing!

How is it possible..." the little princess murmured.

When I saw Guda struggling, saying, 'I can't save it... Do you want me to abandon this city and the people of Ur?

I...I...'

At the same time, countless pictures flashed before people’s eyes,

There is the director of the fire in Fuyuki City, and there are the women and children of Ur City who are hiding in the corner and leaning on their mother's arms, shivering.

Those helpless scenes brought a deep impression and shock to people.

They seemed to be able to feel Guda's powerlessness and unwillingness in his heart at this time.

‘If we just give up, give up on ourselves, and despair, where will the future go?

If nothing can be saved, then there is no saving. Give up, this burden is too heavy for humans. ’ People think at this moment, would Guda have such thoughts?

If it were them, could they really... survive this kind of spiritual torture? Can we really find a way out of the future?

If Guda really gives up - then...

‘My choice? ’

When looking at the waiting eyes of Matthew and Merlin,

Guda suddenly became firm, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared.

No matter what choice the Master makes, as servants—

Just do your best to accomplish what the Master says you expect.

Seeing Guda's high-spirited appearance, people couldn't help but slowly widened their eyes...

Won't--

Let's fight hard!

Will it be like those legendary heroic epics, with a sudden burst of fighting power? ! Killing gods with a human body? !

Hiss~!

Just when people are excited and enthusiastic.

Guda shouted: "Retreat~! Merlin!"

Blacksmith's son: "That's right, withdraw...! Uh...huh?!~ What did she just say?"

Chapter 878 An irresistible gift, (curse)?

"Okay, I'm very good at escaping from beauties." Merlin smiled knowingly, and the heavy expression on his face disappeared.

Those dreamy eyes were watching Guda quietly, as if they had been waiting for a long time...

Ah, yes...

‘No matter how desperate you are, you must remain rational. It doesn’t matter if you fail now, just stand up from where you fell. Don’t you already look forward to the future...'

Merlin - Is this what you want Guda to understand...

Hermitus put himself into Merlin's perspective and pondered deeply.

but--

The phrase 'good at escaping from beauties', sure enough... the romantic stories of him wandering around the Lake Fairy in the epic are all true.

Really...

So 'Merlin'!

"Anna!" in the voice of Guda.

Anna saw Merlin unfolding the pink magic barrier, and she immediately got rid of the leopard men who were fighting and jumped into it.

Then, just like how he got rid of Enkidu...

Countless falling pink petals were left in place,

When the Leopard Man looked behind him, Merlin and the others had already teleported away, and they didn't know where they went.

"This is getting more and more interesting, meow."

And on the other side——

"Survived..." Everyone looked at Mashu and the others who were far away from the forest and standing on the cliff looking at Ur.

This is really a very exciting journey...

There were too many reversals in the middle, and people couldn’t help but think,

But he never expected that the real big reversal was still waiting behind him.

After experiencing this incident, Anna seemed to get to know Guda again...

She originally thought that Guda, who had survived six singularities, was already used to sacrifice, but she didn't expect that she would still care so much.

At this time, people also remembered the scene of Guda's struggle in the heavy rain and his final request to retreat.

really--

Very surprising.

That's...an emotion called human nature.

It is precisely because of such a Master that the future of mankind is full of hope.

Contradictory individual——

That is, if you want to protect others, you will not be too impulsive, but make the right choice rationally.

Blacksmith's son: "Unlike us who tend to be desperate when our passion is too much... He is really a reliable person." ’

Remembering that he thought Guda would call for retreat before, he blushed.

The vision flickered...

I don’t know how long they wandered, but at this time, Mashu and the others had returned to Uruk and reported to the king about their trip.

Mashu: "...This is the situation in Ur.

Although we failed to repel the enemy servants, nor to protect the residents..."

Gilgamesh frowned, his bright red eyes glaring: "Gu, wu...!

You actually retreated in such a miserable way...!

In the memorable first mission that the king has granted you, such a ridiculous thing actually happened...!"

When the King of Heroes got angry, everyone felt a shock in their hearts. It was an unreasonable panic and a sense of oppression that made it difficult to breathe.

Not to mention the people, even the chief priest who knew the king best-Siduri thought that the king was really angry at this time, and hurriedly said: "Don't do that,

Please calm down, King Gilgamesh...!

Fujimaru Ritsuka has returned alive, and this alone is a world of difference from before,"

But-

The tense background melody in the air paused slightly, and then...suddenly became excited.

Everyone:! ?

They didn't wait for long to be confused.

Gilgamesh: "Damn, what exactly is that interesting Servant!

I want to see it with my own eyes!"

Shocked——

When King Gilgamesh said those unexpected words,

The little princess was stunned, the blacksmith's son was stunned...

Outside the epic, Hermitos and Harut, who were reading the text version, also paused.

Their sight seemed to be frozen, staring at the sentence in silence for a long time, motionless.

Their brains seemed to be frozen at this moment.

??? ?

Eh? ! !

Shocked, perhaps even Siduri didn't expect that the king was really angry, but... he didn't get to participate in it personally?

Gilgamesh: "Why do you always encounter such absurd things!

Even if the king is so kind, I can't tolerate it next time!"

'Absurd'? You probably meant to say 'interesting'!

The people who finally reacted,

Uh! ~Puff~! Hahahahahaha!

Unable to hold back, everyone burst into laughter.

And the thought that this scene would be seen by other people who entered the immersive experience made them want to laugh even more.

"...Suddenly I want to see the expressions of others when they hear King Gilgamesh say this..." The little princess couldn't help but murmur.

My heart was itchy as if a cat was scratching my heart.

At this time, Siduri gradually reacted: "Are you a child who is alienated by your playmates, King!?"

——Helpless.

Everyone: (...Ms. Siduri has worked so hard...)

Guda: "I just can't accept the result...!"

Gilgamesh: "...Humph.

Anyway, I'll trouble you with the investigation of Ur this time.

Let's put aside the rescue of Ur citizens and the issue of dealing with the Heroic Leopard Man for now.

Because it seems that this existence called [Goddess of the Jungle] has completely opposite considerations from the [Goddess of Magic Beasts] in the north."

Anna: "...Is that so?

But living sacrifices are a culture we don't have..."

Gilgamesh smiled: "Oh?

Then there is no sacrifice in your common sense?

Difference, prejudice, enjoyment, wrongful conviction, terror. You mean,

you don't have the custom of degrading innocent people based on these emotions?"
