A Father Beating His Son

In short, feeling their complicated gazes and seeing the aggrieved look in Kingu's eyes, Rovey couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, and then whispered.

"This is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?"

"I understand, I understand."

Merlin was the first to raise both hands in front of his eyes, making the shape of a telescope, and then shouted, "Wow! If word gets out, Rovey actually knocked the big villain to the ground, he'll definitely be taken back to Uruk to be trained into a Star Fury!!"

"So... you wouldn't let me get close just so you could do this awful thing?" Anna said with a look of disgust. "Are you Zeus?"

"Hehe, it must be so thirsty that even something made of mud will do?"

Merry feigned wiping away tears, then patted her chest and volunteered, "To prevent you from harming other girls, stop using clay dolls and let my body fill you up—you beast!!"

Rovey's eyelids twitched. "That's enough!"

"You guys—!!"

Boom!!

The people who had made the appointment all arrived at this unfortunate moment and witnessed a very interesting scene, each showing a different expression. Although only a few seconds had passed, time seemed to freeze. The first to make a move was Kingu, who was being held down by Rovey.

At this moment, boundless rage began to surge in Kingu's deep purple eyes, along with some other indescribable emotion.

In an instant, she broke free from Rovey's grip, completely ignoring the crimson demonic hand hovering above her. The magic power infused from the Holy Grail surged within her chest, and a crimson, crazed light suddenly erupted from the depths of her eyes.

Rumble!!

In an instant, the earth trembled violently—countless golden chains burst forth from the ground, their bodies crackling with blue lightning. They hissed and tore at the earth's surface like living creatures, and wherever they passed, trees, rocks, and scorched earth crumbled inch by inch. The cracks spread wildly like a spider web along the trajectory of the chains as they climbed, and then rushed towards all living things in the surrounding area at high speed.

Chapter 234 Father Beats Son

"You scum who seduced your mother, you disgusting Nightmare, and you inhuman Demonic Beast —you're all going to die!!"

After being repeatedly provoked, Kingu suddenly raised his arm after successfully escaping and began to circulate the magic power within his body without any regard for the cost, his roars becoming increasingly violent.

Splash!

With a series of heavy scraping sounds from the sliding of heavy iron chains, golden chains shot out from his wide sleeves like a swarm of frenzied golden serpents, twisting and writhing wildly as if to tear the earth apart. Blinding magical light exploded, each beam carrying world-destroying power. The terrifying impact was like a raging torrent, cracking the ground like fragile paper, endless darkness spreading from the fissures.

This fierce aura was like an invisible giant hand, gripping the entire forest. The trees trembled, leaves rustled down, and birds and beasts fled in terror, seemingly fearing the impending catastrophe.

This attack at this moment is like an earlier myth being reenacted.

"Don't go near her!"

The closest of the chain, Rovey, took a step back just before being pierced by hundreds of chains. While using his Sacred Right to block the Chains of Heaven, he shouted to Anna behind him that his opponent in this state was far beyond Anna's ability to handle.

"I know."

Sensing the devastating power, Anna jumped up to the treetop without hesitation, while Merry ran behind Merlin without any ceremony, ignoring Merlin's protests and using her body to block the incoming magic, performing a defensive descent.

Merlin stared in horror at the oncoming electric current. "Huh? Is this right?!"

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

"This guy's furious, like a woman who's been used and then abandoned. Did you just use her to satisfy your sexual desires?"

After a scream, Merry, whose Merlin had been electrocuted and turned into an afro, gently pushed him aside and asked Rovey with some curiosity.

"..."

Although Anna didn't say anything in agreement, her gaze towards Rovey clearly conveyed the message: "You're disgusting."

"Ahem, so the training is already finished? As expected of my good brother, you're truly invincible! Even your experience in this area is so rich!"

Merlin was exhaling a few puffs of black smoke, also joined in teasing Rovey at this moment.

"You guys are really something! I have no interest in getting aroused by clay!"

What was supposed to be a serious scene completely changed when these two guys arrived, and I even inexplicably got labeled as a pervert.

"Anyway, Anna, be careful, this guy isn't Enkidu."

Rovey looked at the furious Kingu in front of him again, raised his palm and assumed a fighting stance. His crimson right hand, hidden in his right arm, was once again aimed at Kingu. His goal was to subdue Kingu here.

"Yes, it's quite strange, really. That king clearly just returned from his journey to find immortality. If the real Enkidu is here, then all of that king's efforts would have been in vain. It's such a contradiction." Merlin, still seemingly unconcerned about the danger, continued, "As for how we know these things, I think this puppet lady who calls herself Enkidu probably knows quite well, doesn't she?"

Merry chimed in, "After all, we're quite famous in Mesopotamia."

"Yes, that's right. If it weren't for you two disgusting Nightmare secretly causing trouble, I would have already taken over the whole of Uruk and given it to my mother."

Kingu glared angrily at Merlin and Merry, who had appeared before her, then turned to look at Rovey and Anna behind her. Having gone through so much, she roughly understood the situation. Not only had her pre-planned strategy been completely foiled by the enemy, but they had also set up an ambush on the predetermined route. In other words, she had been outmaneuvered by humans this time.

This is really...

"—It's infuriating me!!"

"Although I originally intended to offer you guys as sacrifices to my mother, now that things have come to this, there's no need for me to hide anything anymore, you disgusting creatures!"

Listening to everyone's conversation, Kingu, having readjusted his state, stopped attacking Rovey. He had shed his disguise, revealing a previously kind and intellectual demeanor.

"Though I am not Enkidu, I possess everything he had. I am Mother's most perfect creation, and also the one destined to wipe out all of you old humans. But why do you try to mislead Mother into denying my own significance? I am God's Executor, and it is my duty to judge you old humans!!"

Rovey shook his head. "How arrogant! He's just a brat who doesn't understand his mother."

--Bang!!

The words had barely left his mouth when suddenly, the golden chains hidden underground shot out like deadly lightning towards Rovey's face.

In the nick of time, Anna, wielding her scythe, flashed a cold light and precisely severed the chains. However, the terrifying force surged forth like a heavy hammer blow, striking Anna's petite body directly. She was thrown back several meters, completely out of control. In that life-or-death moment, Anna displayed astonishing agility, her feet lightly skimming the surface of the trees, each touch sending sparks flying from the impact, finally regaining her balance and avoiding an even more humiliating end.

"So strong!"

This made Anna realize the difference in strength between them and understand just how powerful the guy impersonating Enchidu was.

"You're just someone who hides behind women? You possess the same strange divinity, but it's completely opposite to what your mother has. So why is she so fond of you!"

Kingu was extremely agitated when he saw his attack blocked and thought of how Rovey had just managed to break free of the Chains of Heaven. At the same time, his relationship with Tiamat made Kingu feel even more furious.

"Answer me—!!"

"Wow, is it a conflict between a child and his stepfather? What kind of family drama is this?"

Merlin, who was standing nearby, continued to egg him on despite hearing such terrible comments.

Rovey glanced at him. "If you dare to talk nonsense and not help again, I will definitely show you what a necessary sacrifice is later."

"Ugh, please don't do that!!"

Merlin apologized sincerely.

"So what tactics do you have now? Should we just go up and gang up on her?"

As they spoke, Merlin had already discarded his staff, replacing it with a holy sword that shimmered with golden light. He even brought a spare, which he then gave to Merry beside him.

With this sword in hand, I am invincible; the Sword Saint of Avalon requests to fight.

"Chop her up!!"

Merlin and Merry, now transformed into a cleaver squad, are ready to go and chop people up.

"No need for all that trouble. Give me a buff. Today, I'll stand in for her mother and teach this brat a lesson."

Seeing Merlin and Merry, these two almost comical characters, preparing to charge forward with their swords, Rovey, who was fighting Kingu to a standstill, refused to let their fresh-faced appearance join the battle.

If it were a siege, Kingu would run, and the two of them would just need to block the retreat and then do their jobs. He had to teach that Tiamat a lesson today, no matter what.

Upon seeing this, Merlin and Merry immediately understood. Having been relegated to comedic roles for too long, they suddenly realized the truth.

'Oh right, we seem to be a "traitor," not a "C."'

"Wait a minute, big brother's reinforcements are here!"

Realizing this, the two hurriedly picked up their lost staffs from the ground and then began applying buffs to Rovey, a favorite part of FGO players.

First came Merlin— [Dreamlike Charisma A], [Hero Creation EX], and [Illusion A], three beams of red light simultaneously descending upon Rovey's body. As soon as these three familiar enhancement buffs covered him, Rovey felt a wondrous sensation of power breaking through his limits. In particular, the [Hero Creation EX], often described as a cheat code, instantly boosted all his enhancement stats to a whole new level when it was successfully applied.

At this moment, Rovey was radiating light, as if he had become a child of light, with crimson magic surging through his body.

A glint flashed in his beautiful eyes, and the crimson hand behind him transformed into a streak of red light in the next instant. With a "crack!" sound, it directly tore apart the net woven by the Chains of Heaven, and with a speed and power that was impossible to react to, it severed one of Kingu's arms.

"What kind of hellish power is this?!"

Caught off guard by the sudden surge in power, Kingu, who was already at full strength, looked at his enemy, who had just been able to hold his own, and suddenly became a level above him. His eyes were filled with astonishment.

"You don't understand the power that belongs to the Red Strike."

Rovey clenched his fist, then threw another punch at her, slamming Kingu's fist into the ground.

Even until her last breath, when she was knocked down, Kingu's eyes were still filled with astonishment. She simply couldn't understand what Rovey meant by "red crutches."

However, she knew she couldn't just sit and wait to die.

"You've really angered me! Holy Grail, I command you to increase your magical output—!!"

Under her urging, the magic of the Holy Grail began to circulate again. The output was so great that cracks began to appear on the body itself. But for Kingu, these were nothing. After all, it was a stolen body. All she wanted to do now was to smash this damned guy to pieces.

Only--

"Wow, that's awesome! My turn, my turn!"

Following Merlin, seeing this amusing scene, Merry hurriedly raised her silver wand, and then three different enhancements were directly superimposed on Merlin's enhancements: [Nightmare Shore EX], [Summer Night Bloom D], and [Granting Light to His Hand B], completely covering Rovey and increasing his original stats by another level. And it wasn't just the two of them; Rovey also superimposed his own enhancements on himself, [Primordial Runes] and [Divine Wisdom], continuing the nested effect.

At the moment when the abilities of the top-tier red, blue, and green support skills were all superimposed, the burning aura on Rovey suddenly surged.

"Power!!"

The next instant, an even stronger force covered his body, and Kingu, who was still struggling, was directly pressed into the ground. The astonishment in his eyes was beyond description.

The magical flames of red, blue, and green burned fiercely behind him, like a backdrop of an abyss, making him stand out.

"Hey... this intensity is way too unfair!"

Not only Kingu, who was being beaten, but also Merlin, Anna, and Merry were startled when they saw it.

After being enhanced in multiple ways, Rovey underwent a complete transformation!

The wildly burning, terrifying magical flames were as horrifying as an abyss, giving one a feeling of fear just by looking at them.

Just like...

It's like facing a genuine, real, and supreme deity.

In Kingu's eyes, Rovey's aura in this state was the same as when he faced his mother, both at a level where he could lift her up with one hand and spin her around.

"—I, I, the Emperor of War!!"

At this moment, Rovey really wanted to shout that, but the scene was a bit too embarrassing. He wasn't some super invincible scoundrel.

But his estimate was indeed correct. With Merlin, Merry, and himself (who is similar to Skadi), the three-color support characters are all there. With the three of them, even a dog can carry the team today.

So--

"Now it's time for that disobedient child to learn a lesson."

Rovey reached out and grabbed Kingu by the collar, lifting her up from the ground.

At this moment, his tone was gentle and kind, and his eyes were like those of a loving old father.

But Kingu felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being pricked by thorns.

It must be admitted that she was previously no match for Rovey in terms of strength. However, thanks to the advantage of the Chains of Chains of Heaven and her maximum output with the Holy Grail, she could still put up a fight, and even if she was defeated, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

But now...

After Merlin's three-layer enhancement, Rovey's stats expanded. With Merry's enhancement, his skills and magic also underwent a transformation. Finally, with the special skills he applied to himself, Rovey's stats and abilities were enhanced by at least three levels in all aspects.

The sheer magical aura emanating from him, capable of distorting space, was enough to make Kingu lose all will to resist.

The Chains of Heaven, originally designed to target divinity, were probably no match for him, easily snapped with a single bend. It could be said that Rovey's beating of Kingu was like a father beating his son.

"Then let's all die together!"

Therefore, her eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, she activated her magic, intending to detonate the Holy Grail within her body and take Rovey down with her.

A glint of light flashed in Rovey's eyes as he easily noticed the opponent's subtle movements. He then raised his fist and, like a thunderbolt, slammed it into Kingu's abdomen. The punch was extremely powerful; the airflow reversed upon impact, creating a whooshing sound, before it struck Kingu's abdomen heavily.

With a loud "BOOM!!" sound, Kingu felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and the ground behind him shattered like a spider web.

Kingu's pale face turned ashen, and he collapsed, clutching his abdomen. He was covered in cold sweat, his face contorted in pain, and even the activation of the hidden energy in his back was abruptly interrupted.

Alas!

It hurts!!
