Mo Shuying looked thoughtfully at the Holy Grail in his hand. He didn't linger; the moment he got the Holy Grail, he turned and ran. Then, Mo Shuying realized no Demonic Beasts were still chasing him.
Though he didn't understand why, Mo Shuying was delighted. He could finally approach Uruk without worrying about attracting Demonic Beasts due to a curse.
Meanwhile, as Mo Shuying flew far away, Kingu, who had crashed to the ground, was swallowed by the earth.
A crack opened in the ground, and a snake-like monster enveloped Kingu, dragging him down.
Underground was the true part of the Temple. Unlike the stone structures above, the underground Temple resembled the inside of a massive creature. Its walls were entirely made of red fleshy tissue, with scattered flesh cocoons containing unhatched Demonic Beasts.
The monstrous snake coiled around Kingu, continuously descending until it reached the deepest part, a vast underground space.
This space was filled with blood-red flesh cocoons; at least ten thousand Demonic Beasts were still gestating. At the center of these cocoons, a giant monster lay prostrate and dormant.
It was a colossal snake demon, with a thick serpent body for its lower half and a beautiful woman for its upper half. Its long hair spread everywhere, and when the giant snake that had coiled Kingu retracted, it transformed back into her hair.
"Cough, cough..."
Kingu was placed before the monster. He wasn't dead; perhaps, having already died long ago, he wouldn't die so easily.
The monster slowly opened its eyes, beautiful pupils emitting an enchanting glow, a charm capable of seducing all, yet also a manifestation of danger.
"You disappoint me greatly, Kingu."
A soft human voice echoed. Gorgon's voice, like her eyes, possessed a seductive charm. Her golden wings slowly unfurled behind her, and her graceful body leaned forward as she stretched languidly.
"Cough, cough... Mother, please give me another... chance..."
Kingu said, coughing blood. He had finally understood: not a single man in this world was any good!
Gorgon brought her head, larger than Kingu's body, closer, a playful smile on her face, and spoke.
"A chance? Of course, I'll give you one. That person dared to blow up my Temple; he should be prepared to face my wrath. Soon, very soon, all these children will hatch. And then... you must lead the children to break through that damned defensive line! Kill every single human inside! Leave no one alive!!"
Gorgon's voice suddenly turned furious, as if the mention of humans stirred a deep-seated hatred.
She extended her hands above Kingu. Powerful Mana was released, and the flesh and blood on the ground immediately enveloped Kingu, forming a cocoon.
"Sleep well, my child. When you wake up, remember not to disappoint me again."
The Vimana was fast. Beyond the forest were mountains, and beyond the mountains, plains. The battle line was established between two mountain ranges.
Some might ask, if there are mountains on both sides, why don't the Demonic Beasts cross them to enter Uruk?
Good question. Don't ask again next time.
In truth, the entire area within the battle line, including the sky, was protected by an extremely powerful Mana Boundary Field.
Otherwise, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others wouldn't have been directly propelled into the air.
Crossing this barrier was very difficult; it was comparatively more direct to break through the battle line.
Mo Shuying saw the long battle line from a distance. This line, which had blocked the Demonic Beast invasion for half a year, demonstrated the immense strength and willpower of the people of Uruk.
Of course, the king's governance was also indispensable.
The Vimana descended, and Mo Shuying jumped out. The Vimana crashed into the halo, disappearing without needing to reverse park.
Mo Shuying walked to the magnificent battle line. His appearance had long been noticed by the soldiers on the city wall.
"Stop! Who are you?! Don't come any closer!"
A group of soldiers drew their bows. If Mo Shuying made any sudden moves, they would shoot without hesitation.
"I am an ally from Chaldea! I'm here to help you! Please inform Gilgamesh. Oh, and have you seen my companions? Two young girls and an old man wearing sunglasses."
Mo Shuying shouted. The soldiers on the city wall frowned, and anger flickered in their eyes.
"How dare you casually utter King Gilgamesh's name! Chaldea? What's that?! Never heard of it! Get out of here quickly! Otherwise!"
The leading soldier raised a hand, and the other soldiers were already preparing to shoot, but suddenly, a strong, powerful arm grabbed him from behind. The leading soldier frowned and turned, then saw a muscular man, shirtless and wearing a large, crimson cape!
"Ah! General! Greetings, General! There's a stranger at the foot of the city wall..."
The leading soldier immediately reported with trepidation, but the muscular man interrupted him. The muscular man removed his helmet in the leading soldier's terrified gaze and waved at Mo Shuying.
"Mo Mo! Is that really you? Long time no see!!"
This powerful, bold voice was so familiar.
"Leonidas! Long time no see! You seem to have gotten stronger!"
Mo Shuying greeted him with a smile. For this muscle-brained guy, complimenting his strength was more effective than complimenting his looks.
"Hahahaha! Not really! Someone! Open the side gate!"
Leonidas roared, and immediately, someone below the city began cranking the mechanism to open the gate.
Leonidas leaped directly in front of Mo Shuying, his feet landing and creating a circular crater, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"You rascal! Are you trying to make me eat dust?"
Mo Shuying's Mana surged, blowing away the dust. Eating dust was out of the question!
"Hahaha! I got excited, I got excited. Come on, I'll take you in. Why are you here? Are you here to support us?"
Leonidas didn't doubt Mo Shuying's identity at all. As former comrades, he trusted Mo Shuying.
"Hey, you should already know about the human incineration. We're here for that. Six of the seven Singularities have been resolved; this is the last one."
"Saving the world isn't something to be ashamed of, is it?" Mo Shuying didn't hide anything.
Upon entering the city, Mo Shuying saw a nimble figure rushing toward him like a whirlwind.
"Leonidas! How could you let someone in without permission!"
The newcomer was a woman dressed as a samurai, with a katana at her waist and long hair. Of course, what most caught Mo Shuying's eye was her attire.
Her clothes... they were incredibly revealing!
"Ahem! Mo Mo, let me introduce you. This is Ushiwakamaru. Like me, she's a Servant summoned by King Gilgamesh to protect the front lines. Ushiwakamaru, this is my friend. He says he's here to save the world, and I believe him!"
Leonidas thumped his chest as he spoke.
Mo Shuying nodded. Leonidas was a reliable person; he genuinely dared to speak up and help when it mattered most.
