Although Rahmu had wisdom, they never expected that someone would find the long-abandoned old capital of Babylon, let alone that someone could sneak into the center of the city under the defense of its peripheral companions.
The Lahmu around Jin Gu were swept away by Lu Xiao, who had precise control of his strength. Only the winged Lahmu that evolved after swallowing the Holy Grail dodged nimbly.
Lu Xiao's attack was not over yet. After the True Name Liberation Immortal Slash, he forcibly continued to extract magic power from his body, and pulled out the Sword of Damocles from his waist with his left hand.
"Hang it high, dionysius!"
The Noble Phantasm of the Law of Cause and Effect flew out of Lu Xiao's hand and pointed at the winged Rahmu. No matter how it flashed and moved, the sword of light transformed from the Sword of Damocles would always "never leave".
"Crack!"
The Sword of Damocles that spanned space finally hit Winged Rahmu, opening a large hole in the core of its chest. Lu Xiao could already see the Holy Grail shining with golden light inside.
However, the vitality of Rahmu who holds the Holy Grail is extremely tenacious, and the damage that is fatal to normal creatures cannot kill him in one go.
Lu Xiao and Jin Gu watched helplessly as Winged Rahmu's wounds healed quickly.
"Tsk! It's really not that simple."
Lu Xiao had already thought of the possibility of not being able to achieve success with one strike before taking action. Seeing the winged Rahmu spreading its wings and flying high again, Lu Xiao gave instructions through the magic call connected to Artoria.
"The life breath of that Rahmu has weakened. Take it down before this guy has fully recovered from his injuries!"
"hiss!"
The loud neighing of horses sounded in the sky. When Lu Xiao was surrounded by hundreds of Rahmu, Arturia rode Don Stallion and accelerated in the air to launch a charge.
Although Winged Rahmu cannot die temporarily under the influence of the Holy Grail, its movement speed has slowed down a lot due to the injuries that have not yet fully healed. The distance between Arturia and it, which is sprinting at full speed, is rapidly shortening.
close.
Just when Lu Xiao and Jin Gu both thought that Artoria's action was sure of success, something unexpected happened.
The large number of Lakhmu who surrounded Lu Xiao and Jin Gu suddenly abandoned them and gathered together in front of the tribelt like stacks of Arhats, piling them higher and higher.
The Winged Rahmu was attacked just after it took off. Its flying altitude was not very high. Artoria, who had descended from a high altitude, also pursued it by flying at a low altitude.
The human wall built by hundreds of Rakhmu was right in the path of Arturia's charge, firmly blocking the right wing Rakhmu who was recovering from his injury.
Artoria had no choice but to slow down, and the Wind King's barrier covering the holy sword erupted all at once under Artoria's control.
"Wind King Hammer!"
The power of the wind gathered into a bunch and penetrated the Rahmu group directly in front of the holy sword, and Dong Stallion took the opportunity to pass through this small hole.
Relying on the momentary blockage of his companions, Winged Rahmu used super-speed regeneration to repair the injury on his chest.
"Hehehehe~ It's a pity that you are one step late."
With a twitching mocking laugh from his mouth, Winged Rahmu finally burst out to his maximum speed and disappeared from the eyes of Lu Xiao and Arturia in almost the blink of an eye, leaving behind a sonic boom cloud that exceeded the speed of sound.
.
If Ishtar, who possesses the Heavenly Boat Maanna, might be able to bite it here, Arturia and Lu Xiao will indeed be powerless.
As the Winged Rahmu fled, the problem Lu Xiao needed to consider changed from killing the enemy to how to protect himself. The hundreds of Rahmu present turned their big mouths on him with ill intentions.
"Artoria, retreat!"
Before the operation, Lu Xiao deduced various possible situations, and he expected to fail to regain the Holy Grail.
"Crack!"
Before Lakhmu re-launched the siege, Lu Xiao slapped his palm on the ground, and earthen walls reinforced by magic quickly rose on both sides of the three spires, forming a temporary passage between him and Jin Gu.
At this time, Jin Gu had basically lost his fighting ability due to losing his core and being seriously injured.
Lu Xiao used Shukuchi to teleport to him, grabbed Jin Gu who was unable to resist, and took off using the strength of the earth wall he made. He met up with Arturia who deliberately lowered his height to catch up, and jumped to the east...
Stallion's back.
The heroic horse did not stay for a moment, and took off into the air to escape amid the angry screams of the Rahmu.
"It's a pity that I couldn't regain the Holy Grail."
Lu Xiao looked at Jin Gu who had fainted: "Bringing this guy back to Gilgamesh should be considered a great achievement, right?"
No matter who the soul is that controls this body, his body is Gilgamesh's only true friend in life, Enkidu. This should be the reason why Gilgamesh has never made any ruthless plot against Jin Gu.
Lu Xiao used the Sword of Damocles, and Arturia also liberated the Wind King's barrier. Even so, they still couldn't stop the winged Rahmu.
That guy must have completely concentrated the magic power of the Holy Grail on his wings, and flew at an unimaginable speed in a short period of time regardless of the physical burden. His failure to recapture the Holy Grail can only be said to be a crime other than war.
When the two armies are fighting, logistics comes first.
Uruk, whose population has been greatly reduced, does not need to worry about food problems. Gilgamesh, whose clairvoyance has failed, now needs the latest intelligence from the enemy.
Lu Xiao looked at the unconscious Jin Gu: "The next step is to see if Gilgamesh's sharp tongue can convince him. Maybe we can get some important information from the son of Tiamat."
…
When Lu Xiao sneaked into the old capital of Babylon, a battle also began in the middle of the sea south of Uruk.
Quetzalcoatl took away the two Aeolian pterosaurs this time. One of them was ridden by herself, the other was given to Fujimaru and Mashu to control, and Ishtar controlled the Tianzhou horse by herself.
Anna flew with her.
The human-sized Tiamat floated in the middle of the sea with her feet dangling in the air, her strange starry eyes silently watching the Aeolus pterosaur that continued to approach.
"Ah~"
The monosyllabic cry spread out powerful sound waves, and the flying Aeolian Pterosaur immediately felt resistance.
Quetzalcoatl's job title this time is Rider. As a mount that accompanies the arrival of the Lord God, the Aeolian Pterodactyl is the most advanced divine beast among fantasy species, but they face interference from the Earth Mother Goddess Tiamat.
It is also difficult to get rid of it in a short period of time.
"Ugh!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously raised his hands to cover his face, and the air wave caused by the sound wave almost blew him away from the back of the Fengshen Pterosaur.
"Master! Look!"
Mashu suddenly pointed to the sky behind everyone and exclaimed, but when Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around, his vision could only capture a fleeting shadow, which landed right in front of Tiamat.
"Winged Rahmu?"
Quetzalcoatl had a bad feeling in his heart.
"That's! The Holy Grail?!"
Ishtar saw the golden container that Rahmu took out from the body. When the Holy Grail merged into Tiamat's body, the winged Rahmu that overstretched her body immediately turned into black ash and dissipated.
Quetzalcoatl sighed in his mind, 'Didn't those two people stop it?'
"Tiamat cannot be allowed to fully grasp the power of the Holy Grail!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka struggled to control his body under the wind pressure, and pointed his finger at Ishtar floating aside: "Order it with a command spell to fill Ishtar with magic!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka used one command spell in the previous battle to convince the mistress of the underworld, Ai Lei. In order to use powerful firepower to kill Tiamat at once, he decided to use the second command spell here.
"wait……"
Quetzalcoatl wanted to stop Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions, but in the end it was too late. Ishtar, who was charged by the command spell, exuded a strong sense of coercion.
Ishtar, who was filled with magic power, showed a confident smile on her face: "Leave it to me, Fujimaru!"
