Battlefront of Beasts

Rovi stood on a high point overlooking Uruk, the King's Treasure unfolding behind him in an instant.

But he didn't act immediately.

Before the Demonic Beasts got close, before any casualties occurred... he wanted to see how Gilgamesh had organized humanity's strength.

It was at this very moment that a colossal roar echoed between Heaven and Earth. The vibration from the charging Demonic Beasts felt like it could overturn the entire world.

Clouds swirled in the sky, and dust and smoke billowed from the Earth.

The soldiers on the Great Wall of Uruk reacted swiftly. Spears were gripped tightly and raised, while the rotating black muzzles of cannons instantly aimed at the approaching black tide.

BOOM—

Spears rained down like a dense shower, accompanied by the thunderous roar of cannon fire. Black smoke and firelight erupted in layers, like flowers blooming and withering in an instant.

Gunpowder hadn't been invented in this era, so these cannonballs clearly didn't operate on the same principles as those of later ages.

They were filled with Magic Power instead of gunpowder, and their explosive force was even greater than pure gunpowder.

It wasn't just the cannons; the spears were largely the same. Weapons like these would be considered rare enchanted artifacts in later times.

The first wave fell, and the tide of Demonic Beasts was instantly halted.

After a tremendous explosion, countless monstrous corpses littered the ground.

But quickly, even denser Demonic Beasts filled the void left by the first wave of defensive attacks.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

The rumbling continued.

The roars filled the air.

Attack and defense, at this moment, both seemed incredibly difficult.

Yet, visibly, the nearly endless Monster Tide, relying on its sheer numbers and fearless advance, pushed through the incoming cannon fire and spears, inching forward... like a tide overwhelming the land, approaching the massive wall.

Human strength was considerable.

However, facing such a large-scale invasion, it seemed insufficient.

But this was already beyond Rovi's expectations. After all, this was still far from the Heroic Age where individual strength reigned supreme.

He waved his hand, and the golden ripples behind him became even more pronounced.

It was time to act—

"Hahahaha, a bunch of mongrels, daring to trample upon this King's courtyard without my permission?"

The sudden, booming laughter made Rovi pause instinctively. He listened to the familiar narcissistic words and looked up.

Indeed, he saw a celestial ship, burning with the blue-black fire of stars, materialize in the distance.

On that starship, a figure stood at the prow, arms spread wide.

Reckless and arrogant.

Scarlet serpent eyes gleamed with extreme, chilling cold. With his appearance, the entire world seemed to freeze for a moment.

The immense, intangible pressure of Magic Power from a Demigod Hero enveloped every Demonic Beast, causing their forward momentum to halt abruptly.

Their aggressive surge was suppressed.

In its place, morale surged on the walls of Uruk!

"The King... King Gilgamesh has arrived!"

"Those damned Demonic Beasts are finished!"

"King—"

The raised spears and the fiery muzzles of the cannons burned even hotter.

This was the role of Royal Authority.

To stabilize hearts and boost morale.

Like pillars supporting Heaven and Earth, giving everyone the courage to face any difficulty!

Gilgamesh at this moment, had long since abandoned his previous absurd and brutal behavior.

And perhaps all of this was related to him?

Rovi watched the scene unfold.

He felt a sense of accomplishment, more or less...

Gilgamesh's laughter spread across the battlefield: "This King is the King of all creation! Heaven and Earth are all this King's domain! To trample upon it without my permission is a crime punishable by death!"

Never mind, he didn't need this sense of accomplishment.

Might as well kill him—Rovi slanted his eyes.

Behind the King, golden ripples shimmered in the sky, connecting one after another, forming a golden ocean.

In an instant, over a thousand gates opened, like countless cannon mouths, all aimed downwards.

The King's Treasure can ultimately only be used by its true owner, Gilgamesh.

Compared to before.

He had made tremendous progress.

Roar... The Demonic Beasts, suppressed by the pressure transformed by Magic Power, were breaking free simultaneously. Though they were weak compared to Gilgamesh, their numbers were vast, and driven by the will of both the Bull of Heaven and Humbaba, they clearly wouldn't retreat so easily.

And it seemed due to the pressure Gilgamesh brought upon them, the Monster Tide not only didn't weaken, but became even denser.

In the distance, more Demonic Beasts were sweeping in.

Towards the other side of the high wall, surging into the direction not covered by Gilgamesh's firepower...

This horde of Demonic Beasts possessed an instinct to naturally seek advantage and avoid harm.

Finding a gap was only natural.

But it was precisely at this moment that a sound echoed from that side as well. However, unlike Gilgamesh's arrogant laughter, this sound was a light, girlish chuckle, clear and warm: "Ah, sorry—you can't pass here. Otherwise, Rovi and Gil would be in a lot of trouble!"

Following this, from the earth, emerged clay swords and blades, like countless wooden stakes, piercing the Demonic Beasts surging across the ground from bottom to top, impaling them in place.

Upon the high wall, a figure in a pure white robe fluttered closer. The green-haired 'girl' gazed at the roaring beast horde, revealing a serene smile.

"It's the King's friend, the Divine Weapon, Lord Enkidu!"

"One who can share the throne with the King..."

"There won't be any problems now!"

Morale surged even higher at this moment.

This moment belonged to Uruk.

However, amidst this, other voices were intermingled.

"King Gilgamesh and Enkidu have arrived, will that Lord also come?"

"You mean that Sage who suppressed the Monster Forest, annihilated a nation single-handedly, shook the north, and was resurrected after defeating the Bull of Heaven?"

"Lord Rovi will definitely be here too!"

Someone mentioned Rovi.

Sage?

So, that's how people refer to me now?

Rovi blinked, momentarily taken aback.

Although he knew he had done many things and his name had indeed spread far and wide, this was the first time he had heard someone recite his name and title... He felt a little embarrassed, but also a little proud.

He waved his hand.

The King and his friend had arrived on the battlefield.

But between them, there was still one person missing—

"Since that's the case, I shall be the one to fill... the remaining vacancy!"

Rovi smiled.

He waved his hand, closing the gate of the King's Treasure, causing the golden ripples to vanish into the air.

But at the same time, he closed his eyes and opened them.

A key shimmering with flowing light appeared in his pupils.

The power of the 'Key of Heaven', surged forth.

Rovi looked at Gilgamesh and Enkidu. He could tell at a glance that although their attacks were fierce, there was no coordination between them.

Therefore, while they could suppress the Monster Tide, without exerting their full strength, it was difficult to completely defeat it.

They also hadn't intended to go all out.

Because they were waiting.

Using the keys made from Rovi's 'Key of Heaven' ability, which everyone possessed, they had already sensed Rovi's arrival, which was why they appeared here simultaneously.

Waiting for his appearance.

His cooperation—

The Key of Heaven had always been the core that connected the Keystone of Heaven and the Lock of Heaven, breaking their limitations and enabling perfect cooperation.

And that was precisely what Rovi was about to do!

The Vast Sky Sun, firelight flowed—

The 'lock' of restriction, with the appearance of the key, was instantly opened!
