The Crimes of the Chest-Gropers 4/5
"Cover me!"
Seeing that not only was the battle dragging on without a clear victor, but that Gorgon, based on the entire Temple of Blood, was growing stronger with each battle, Samael, who had been strengthened by "Heroic Sculpting," had no choice but to take a risk.
"Alright, let's go!"
After smashing a snake's head with his gigantic claws, the Jaguar Man pressed down with both hands and held the gun barrel horizontally.
As Samael was sprinting forward, he immediately understood and leaped onto the gun barrel.
Immediately, the Jaguar Man pushed with all his might, and the ancient serpent, like a cannonball, crashed down on the Beast Goddess.
"Final Strike... Sword of Flame... Multiply... Fire in Unison!"
A mixture of cuneiform runes and a strange, German-sounding accent came from within, as Ishtar, under fire cover, frantically smashed rocks.
Several beams of light, guided and amplified by various colored gems, bombarded the monstrous snake hair.
Samael, if you don't help me make back my money in the future, I'll bite you to death!
Looking at the rapidly shrinking reserves inside the Sky Ark Ma'anna, Ishtar felt a pang of heartache. Gritting her teeth, she could only keep telling herself that this was a necessary upfront investment.
"You filthy worm! Get out of here!"
"Gorgon! Don't even think about it!"
When the Beast Goddess sensed the enemy approaching at high speed, she instinctively gathered her magic power and erected several Sorcery Array.
Anna's eyes widened in fury as she desperately tried to counteract the Gorgon's magic through a clash. A brilliant burst of crimson light erupted, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from the little girl's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, this Beast Goddess, relying on her near-bug-like immortality, frantically multiplied the snake hair behind her, and giant purplish-red snakes snaked down, launching a strangulation attack on Samael.
"Creak..."
The round shield, which had been battered and bruised along the way, barely managed to withstand the bite of a venomous snake. When it did, it quickly twisted and deformed, constantly emitting a metallic, teeth-grinding sound.
Want to eat me? I'm afraid you don't have the appetite!
Samael's Serpent Eyes widened in fury, and his right hand plunged down with his spear, piercing the hideous serpent's head from its jaw to its skull.
However, these are, after all, inanimate objects born from hair, devoid of pain, yet endlessly regenerating.
Therefore, the enraged, purplish-red giant snake shook its head and swung it sideways toward its target.
Samael decisively released his hands, discarding the round shield and spear, and drew the short sword from his waist, thrusting it upwards into the neck of the giant serpent.
Immediately, the man turned his wrist and shaved off the extremely stubborn snake head.
Afterwards, using the remaining force of the impact, Samael leaned back, his body stretched into a taut bowstring, and at the moment the tension reached its peak, he swung his arm forward and fired the last javelin.
Like a heavy crossbow bolt whistling past, flashing with the blue-gold power of Zeus, it caused Gorgon, who subconsciously sensed danger, to change his expression slightly.
Enveloped in faint arcs of lightning, the spear pierced through the two giant snakes blocking the path with unstoppable force, carving a gruesome blood hole nearly twenty centimeters in diameter between the chest of the Beast Goddess.
"Ugh! How awful!"
The wailing and howling Goergon, its Gorgon filled with hatred, looked down at the wriggling insect, its gaze brimming with murderous intent.
At that moment, Samael's delay not only left him exhausted, but also allowed the nearby giant purplish-red snakes to surround him.
"Damn it! Don't underestimate a leopard!"
"Deadly strike! There is no escape from the death claws!"
At the critical moment, the Jaguar Man leaped forward, his claws, now blazing with light and stretching for tens of meters, slammed down, pulverizing the giant snakes within a twenty-meter radius into minced meat, which rained down like raindrops.
"All illusions are but bubbles, and the flowers we see are both real and unreal!"
At this moment, Merlin solemnly pondered, gripped his staff tightly with both hands, and pressed down with all his might.
In an instant, amidst the falling starlight, Samael, who was running and charging, multiplied from one to two, then to four, and in a flash, he became several figures.
"Die! Die! Die! All of you, die!"
Gorgon roared and screamed, its head adorned with the blood vessel-like structures that clung to the inner wall of the temple, frantically sucking away.
In an instant, a viscous, blood-red, black magic ball coalesced and condensed, then exploded outwards.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Several figures lunged forward, only to be swept away by the surging magical power.
"Samael!"
Seeing the precise hits, none of the targets escaped, Anna's eyes widened in fury. After letting out an angry scream, she charged out of the camp, stepping on the snakes' hair, hacking and slashing her way forward.
"Anna, come back quickly!"
Everyone's expression changed. They wanted to stop it, but the creature's claws, covered in pale yellow scales, slammed heavily onto the ground.
After hurriedly dodging, the temple trembled eerily once more.
Immediately, one by one, purplish-red monster eggs, stuck to the outside of blood vessels, fell around the group.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Amidst the continuous popping of cysts, dozens of magical beasts of various sizes emerged from the eggs, roaring as they charged towards the invaders who dared to harm their mother.
Not only can it replenish mana, but it can also quickly cultivate miscellaneous troops? Sooner or later, I'll smash this ghost temple!
Merlin's pupils contracted as he watched the monsters gathering and approaching. His eyes twitched, and he decisively drew his magic wand and holy sword for self-defense.
For a time, Ishtar and the Jaguar Man were also blocked by the newly born horde of magical beasts, preventing them from helping Anna.
"No one can stop me from taking my revenge! No one!"
"Die, monster!"
Having almost completely drained the potential of the Temple of Blood, Gorgon and slammed his fist at the Young Goddess Form, who could be considered his own nemesis.
The little girl, already at her last gasp, was powerless to dodge after slaying several ferocious snake heads. She could only watch helplessly as the menacing shadow pressed down upon her.
"Puff!"
In the blink of an eye, Gorgon, covered in pale yellow scales, suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he coughed up a mouthful of purplish-red blood.
The Beast Goddess looked down in shock and was horrified to see something that looked like a worm crawling and drilling through flesh and blood.
What's inside my body?!
Moreover, it's poisonous!
When Gorgon fell upon the pink fleshy buds on his chest, the blood hole that was about to completely heal, his expression changed.
Oh no... it was just now!
Damn it! I've been tricked!
The Magecraft just now was merely a cover; the real attack was aimed at that kid, not at any of those illusions!
"Gorgon! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"
In the instant the Beast Goddess was stunned, Anna broke free from the snake hair's restraints, leaped up, and slashed at the Immortal Goddess's fair chest, leaving a hideous bloodstain.
"That scythe... Hepal!"
"Traitor!"
Like a mirror shattering, light patterns spread from the wound to his entire body. Gorgon, shocked, let out an angry roar.
In an instant, he swung his serpent-scale arm horizontally, smashing Anna, who was trying to advance further towards the Divine Core, away.
The purple-haired loli shot out like a cannonball, crashing into the inner wall of the Temple of Blood.
However, before the Beast Goddess could press her advantage, the power within her body vanished rapidly, like a receding tide.
"I possess divine power!"
"This is impossible! Impossible!"
The Gorgon struggled frantically, letting out unbelievable screams.
She clearly sensed that amidst the dull pain in her chest, her internal nerve core was rapidly shrinking.
"Get out here!"
Suddenly, a mad glint flashed in the eyes of the Beast Goddess, and her claws slid along the wound left by Hepal, reaching into the chest cavity.
Almost instantly, a red and black ancient snake emerged from between the gradually closing fingers and slid into the depths of those proud, massive breasts.
