Fujimaru, Mashu and others looked at the huge figure flying in the air in disbelief.
Previously, they watched Gorgon being hit by Anna's scythe. The body of Gorgon, whose immortality was broken, was damaged as a result. He and Anna fell into the abyss of the cracked ground. It should be impossible for him to survive again.
Anna's scythe is called the Immortal Slaughter Blade, which is the weapon used by Perseus in Greek mythology.
According to legend, Perseus used this scythe to cut off the head of the monster Medusa while she was sleeping. The immortal sword, sublimated by the legend, has a special attack effect on the heroic spirits of Medusa's lineage.
Gorgon is the ultimate monster created after Medusa lost her mind and swallowed her two sisters. She is also within the special attack range of the scythe. Anna's direct hit attack has a one-hit kill effect.
'wrong.'
Ishtar first noticed something strange. The Gorgon they had seen before was covered in black clothes and armor, which gave him an ominous look.
The clothes on the Gorgon in front of me have turned into a snow-white color, and its temperament is not as sinister and bloodthirsty as the previous Gorgon. Instead, it gives people a strange sense of purity.
'Could it be...'
As the first person to discover Anna's anomaly, Ishtar thought of a possibility and her eyes gradually widened.
"Gorgon" appears on the battlefield again, making it clear that he intends to fight Tiamat to the death.
In order not to make Fujimaru and Mashu sad, Ishtar pursed her lips and did not tell the true situation.
"Fujimaru, Mashu, let's go, leave this place to Gorgon."
"But……"
"Stop it!"
Ishtar said a little irritably: "Do you want the efforts of the King of Knights and Koatl to be in vain!"
Fujimaru was speechless for a moment, and looked at Gorgon who was using snake hair to kill Rahmu. He gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, let's retreat first."
Almost everyone thought that Quetzalcoatl, who burned his spirit base, would definitely die, but Lu Xiao discovered the abnormal situation through his clairvoyance.
While others were attracted by the light of Arturia's holy sword, a strange creature wearing a doll suit darted forward like a dragonfly on the lava-covered ground, and narrowly managed to catch Yu, who was severely burned all over his body.
Snake god.
The strange creature only appeared on the battlefield for a moment, and then disappeared.
"Leopard man?"
Lu Xiao's expression was a little strange. He still couldn't figure out what was going on with this strange heroic spirit.
‘Can a tiger toy suit also be regarded as the embodiment of the nature of the beast? Is there something wrong...’
The Holy Sword of Liberation consumes a large amount of Artoria's magic power. Although it will not completely overdraw the treasure in one shot, if the magic power cannot be replenished, it will be difficult for her to be used again in a short period of time.
Soldiers who cannot display their strength can only cause trouble to their comrades if they stay on the battlefield. When Fujimaru and Mash said their final goodbyes to Gorgon, Arturia took the lead and commanded the horses to evacuate to the rear.
"you……"
When Fujimaru said goodbye to Gorgon, he realized something from her slightly different tone from before, but he did not raise the topic clearly and turned around to leave while suppressing his fluctuating emotions.
Mashu also saw something strange. When the Fengshen Pterodactyl changed direction and returned to Uruk, she anxiously reminded Fujimaru: "Master, please wait! The Gorgon just now is An..."
"Matthew!"
Fujimaru did not look back, and raised his voice to stop Mashu's unfinished words: "I know."
"Hmm~"
Mashu suppressed tears and lowered his head, not daring to look back at Gorgon's back.
Just as the two of them thought, the reappearing Gorgon was not the one they met at the beginning, but Anna after the fusion of the spiritual base and the Gorgon.
Lu Xiao could roughly guess from the lack of magic power in the golden feathers that fell from Anna's body that even if she could temporarily maintain Gorgon's physical activity, her limit was already approaching.
Even if she doesn't fight Tiamat, Anna will not be able to exist in the world for more than ten minutes, and she is destined to be unable to catch up with the final battle.
Rather than disappearing from this era without doing anything, it is better to risk everything to avenge Tiamat in the end.
Gorgon and Anna are essentially the same person, they just represent different ages and states of Medusa.
Heroic spirits are existences that transcend time, and the memories between peers are all the same.
Gorgon was tricked by Tiamat through sharing consciousness and power. Anna, as another form of Medusa, naturally felt the same hatred for her.
He knew what Anna's ending would be without looking at it. Lu Xiao sighed softly, poured magic power into the golden feather in his hand, used the alchemy technique to change its nature, and prepared to give it to Fujimaru and the others as a souvenir after everything was over.
When he activated the short-distance teleportation technique and returned to the sacrificial site, there was no one inside the building.
Turning on eagle vision, Lu Xiao captured a small amount of life reactions on the roof of the tower.
The black mud spreading along the main road of Uruk has already risen to the steps in front of the sacrificial site, and in a few minutes it will also submerge the sacrificial site.
When they arrived at the roof of the sacred tower, Gilgamesh, accompanied by Siduri, was indeed overlooking the main battlefield.
It's said to be a battlefield, but in fact the battle ahead is basically over.
Anna's final Noble Phantasm's decisive blow temporarily held Gorgon back and caused considerable damage to her remaining left horn. Gilgamesh and Lu Xiao, who had clairvoyance, could see the cracks on the big horn.
.
Gilgamesh turned his head slightly and looked at Lu Xiao: "Newcomer, can you cut off Tiamat's other horn?"
Lu Xiao nodded: "Yes, but it doesn't make much sense."
"Tiamat still maintains her form as the God of Creation, but we all know her true identity."
"Cutting off the two horns can indeed seal off Tiamat's mobility, but that will only expose her to her beast form in advance."
"As long as there is life outside the underworld, Tiamat cannot be destroyed. We must act strictly according to the plan."
Gilgamesh snorted noncommittally: "Hmph~ The mess caused by the Sumerian gods has to be borne by humans, damn gods."
Tiamat, who returned from the imaginary space, still wears the skin of the Earth Mother on the surface, but due to years of resentful waiting, her essence has become hugely different from the former God of Creation.
The Returning Beast is one of the seven beasts that exists as a disaster for mankind.
Once cornered, Tiamat will abandon the disguise of the Earth Mother and reveal her true form.
Artoria returned to Uruk in one step before Fujimaru and others. The heroic war horse staggered when it landed on the top of the divine tower.
The lack of magic power made it difficult for Arturia to maintain the existence of East Starion. As soon as she landed, she immediately dismissed her war horses to save magic power.
"Haha~" Gilgamesh and Arturia were born with different horoscopes. Seeing her embarrassment, he couldn't help but taunted her: "King of Knights, you are so weak after just releasing a Noble Phantasm?"
Arturia stood up with the help of Lu Xiao, frowning and glaring at Gilgamesh: "King of Heroes, do you still want to provoke me at this time?"
"Ha! I don't have that much free time."
A magic book of treasure phantoms appeared from the treasure house, and the magic power in Gilgamesh began to increase sharply: "Watch! I will show you the limits that the human body can truly reach!"
Fujimaru and Mash finally landed at this time, and they were surprised when they saw Gilgamesh's movements.
"king?!"
"Well done, Observatory Magician!"
Gilgamesh did not hesitate to praise the two of them: "You have maximized the use of the combat power we currently have, and the next step is up to me!"
