Special Attacks Trump Everything 4k

Boom!

Sharp, explosive sounds emanated from both sides, followed by terrifying, piercing noises, while colorful light patterns intertwined and spread outwards.

Amidst the turbulent ethereal currents, Enkidu had regained his form, and Gilgamesh in mid-air, were rapidly pushed backward.

Just now, the Bull of Heaven was targeted by concentrated fire, one of its horns was cut off, and a deep, narrow, charred red wound appeared on its chest, revealing the bone.

But as this top-tier monster retreated slightly, tilted its head back, and roared, a black tide spread beneath its hooves, flowing like a living stream, covering the Gugalanna's metallic-looking body.

The previous wounds were healed in the blink of an eye, and the ferocious aura of the beast was even stronger than before.

At the same time, on the North Wall, the Spear Cage created by Ereshkigal shattered, but a figure in mid-air swooped down to meet the lightning, stepped on the tangled vines, and slashed.

"Laugh!"

The Fir Beast Humbaba, bound together by plants and rotting flesh, constantly twisted and changed shape, like Rules dough ball.

The face of the official was no longer visible. It let out a shrill cry, and patchy cracks spread from the mouth of the Hepal beast, instantly covering the entire body of the Fir Beast Humbaba.

"Bang!"

Moments later, the monster, which had been swelling and shrinking at the same time, suddenly exploded, turning into wood chips and bits of flesh that scattered everywhere.

The Kuroshio Current, surging from the Fir Forest, was so close yet so small that it could only watch as the drifting remains of the swarming creatures plunged into the water with a splash.

"Bastard! You've lived long enough!"

With a cold snort, dozens of ancient-looking, sharp swords suddenly shot out from the surrounding Golden Vortex.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a mass of reddish-black flesh, covered in cracks, was about to fall into the black tide when it was instantly pierced and turned into dust that scattered.

Gilgamesh then helped up Enkidu, whose face had turned pale, and looked at the Bull of Heaven, whose aura was rising steadily amidst the black tide, his gaze dark and gloomy.

Trying to solve two problems at the same time is indeed not so easy.

It seems that kid guessed right...

"Our opponents are thoughtful and rational!"

Inside the Royal Palace Divine Tower, Samael gazed at the battle situation appearing in the Sorcery Array, his brow furrowed, and deep fear was revealed in his eyes. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

After a top-tier monster appeared on both the north and south sides of the early morning, the Ancient Serpent learned relevant information through the actions of the four Interceptors: Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Ishtar, and Ereshkigal.

Furthermore, everyone had already devised a targeted strategy based on the weaknesses of Humbaba and Gugalanna.

As the saying goes, special attacks are paramount, and different enemies have corresponding counters. Defeating two top-tier monsters reduces the difficulty from Hell level to Beginner level.

Anna and Ereshkigal faced off against the immortal cedar Fir Beast Humbaba, while Gilgamesh and Enkidu dealt with the high-ranking divine Bull of Heaven Gurra.

This is undoubtedly the most perfect matching strategy.

Initially, just as a targeted solution was proposed, the group intentionally switched opponents, preparing to eliminate these two top-tier monsters ahead of time.

However, Samael overruled the objections, arguing that taking action too early might alert the enemy and awaken Apsu from the abyss.

After all, their goal is to stall for time and run away, not to fight Apsu to the death.

Moreover, splitting the troops into two groups would give the enemy the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Therefore, the ancient serpent suggested that this day be spent in a prolonged battle to lure the enemy into a trap, after which Uruk would join forces with Setsuna, exchange opponents, and annihilate Apsu's minions to control his power.

Even with a surprise attack, and the combined efforts of Anna, Ereshkigal, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, they could only defeat Humbaba, whose weaknesses were more obvious.

The even more powerful Bull of Heaven Gurra, was still alive in the direction of Mount Epiph.

Compared to its destructive power over the world and its dominance over floods, this bull is more troublesome than Humbaba.

"Moo!"

At the same time, the Bull of Heaven, which had merged with the power of the Black Tide, suddenly emerged from the thunderclouds with its towering figure, its body radiating a dark golden light.

Its hard muscles and bones deflected the dense barrage of swords and arrows, as well as the beams of light from the heavenly bow, allowing the monster to advance unscathed to the edge of Uruk.

With its four hooves pounding the ground, Gugalanna blood-red eyes glaring, charged forward, its body traversing the floodwaters, accompanied by booming, layered waves.

At the same time, the pair of azure bull horns bowed forward, terrifying thunderclouds spread out, and blinding arcs of electricity drew chaotic and slanted fire in the darkness.

In the blink of an eye, a temple composed entirely of thunderbolts of various colors was crushing towards the solar calendar stone power circle that enveloped the fortress city.

Noble Phantasm — Heavenly Roaring Temple!

"Boom!"

Dark lightning filled the Heavenly Roaring Temple, its illusory form pressing down like a hundred-meter-long giant snake, arcing lightning and darting wildly across the light screen, causing Uruk to shake violently.

Immediately, two azure bull horns pierced inch by inch within the layers of the Solar Calendar Stone Barrier, spreading wildly across the entire area like cracks in a mirror.

Thunder pierced eardrums, howled winds poured down, and constantly tore at the dark rifts, filling the inhabitants of Uruk with a sense of impending doom and despair.

"Buzz!"

At the critical moment, a slender, white finger pressed down on the Solar Calendar Stone, but the star map on the dome shook for a moment and shattered one after another, and the solar patterns then contracted rapidly.

"Pfft!"

A sacrificial knife carved from obsidian sliced Quetzalcoatl's right wrist, and in an instant, golden-red blood gushed out into the grooves inscribed with stellar calendar and Mayan divine script.

In an instant, the flickering star map brightened, and a sun, shining like the midday sun, radiated dazzling brilliance.

"Bang!"

A metallic tremor echoed for miles around, and the Bull of Heaven, which had been advancing forward, was sent flying like a cannonball, smashing the churning black tide to its knees.

Immediately, as if a monster had been hurled out by a giant, it plowed up a hundred-meter-high wave on the surface of the water, causing the mountains along its path to shatter and collapse one after another, and the earth to wail continuously.

"That scared the leopard to death! That scared the leopard to death!"

Jaguar Man, still shaken, patted his chest as he guarded the path, the hairs on his back standing on end. He then looked up at the Feathered Serpent God standing beside the Solar Calendar Stone, his heart pounding with excitement.

That's beautiful! As expected of Q'uq'umatz! With less than half of his divinity remaining, he can still pin that bull to the ground and pound it!

Just as the Jaguar Man was feeling proud and wanted to roar a few times to vent his pent-up fear, the figure on the spire of the Astrology Platform tilted his head back and fell to the ground.

A feline's heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, it dropped its grappling hook, leaped onto the roof, and hurriedly caught Quetzalcoatl in mid-air.

"Hey! Q'uq'umatz! Don't scare me!"

The Jaguar Man dragged his old nemesis into a hidden corner, raised his claws, and slapped the Feathered Serpent God twice across the face, calling out urgently.

"You haven't even brought my family with you yet, so don't be in such a hurry to die!"

Still not awake? Let's try again!

The impatient feline instinctively raised its paw again, but when its eyes met a pair of half-open, emerald-green Serpent Eyes, the Jaguar Man was instantly startled, his fingers and palms freezing in mid-air.

That look in her eyes made her feel uneasy.

Q'uq'umatz had this expression on his face the few times he seemed to have been beaten up badly.

Or should we run?

"Snap!"

Just as the Jaguar Man kicked back with both legs and retreated, making a hasty escape motion, sounds like shattering glass came from the spire and dome of the Astrology Platform.

The sounds of wind, thunder, and darkness poured into Uruk through the gradually widening fissure.

The Jaguar Man looked up at the Solar Calendar Stone, which had exploded with a rift in the center, and the etheric turbulence that was constantly tearing apart the protective barrier; his pupils contracted sharply.

Immediately afterwards, a sound like the crashing of a tsunami came again from both sides of Mount Epiph and the Fir Forest.

A feeling of darkness, oppression, stickiness, and coldness quickly spread and permeated the air.

The fifth and sixth waves of the Kuroshio Current are here!

At this moment, exposed to the wind, rain, and thunder, the soldiers on both sides of the high wall looked at the surging, black, world-destroying torrent and felt a chill run down their spines.

Because within this black tide, there were countless enormous mouths filled with sharp teeth, which were actually an army of countless Lahmu.

"Hedgehog Formation!"

Leonidas, as resilient as a sculpture, pounded his shield and roared.

Soldiers with strong willpower bit their lower lips, raised their shields, and rallied together with their comrades, forming a human defense line on the city walls.

The young man, who had been paralyzed with fear, quickly regained consciousness and joined the ranks under the strict discipline of this Spartan King, who used a combination of pulling and kicking.

Like a hard battering ram slamming into a gate, several meters of the eastern part of the northern defense line were sheared off with a deafening roar.

Several hundred more soldiers from the East Gate military camp were replenished above. They were like flies swatted away, and before they could even groan, their twisted limbs and broken organs scattered all over the ground.

One by one, bricks and stones, like cannonballs, crashed into the building behind, creating large holes in the interior walls.

One by one, the ibex climbed the city walls, rustling as Lahmu the top, and charged towards Uruk with snarling laughter.

"Pull your spear! Thrust!"

"Don't panic! Hold the line, others will handle the ones below!"

Leonidas raised his hand and nailed a Lahmu to the wall, shouting to bolster morale.

At the same time, this commander actually began to organize the shrinking of the phalanx and launched a fearless counter-charge, which actually managed to stop the advance of the Lahmu in the western and central sections.

On the North Wall side of the defensive line, two mountain passes rose abruptly from the ground, where hundreds of soldiers with dark red divine patterns painted on their bodies and wearing heavy armor, their faces contorted with madness, roared and advanced side by side.

"May the goddess Ereshkigal keep me away from pain and grant me invincibility!"

The charging Lahmu extended its sharp claws and stabbed at the soldiers.

However, those heavy armors, made of rare metals, were incredibly hard and came with Magecraft defense arrays, making them virtually impossible to eat.

Even with his rapidly growing learning ability, Lahmu inserted sharp objects into the bodies of these human soldiers through the gaps in their armor.

Without any hindrance, they wielded the exquisitely enchanted weapons with ancient patterns from the Treasury of Babylon, brutally stabbing and killing the charging Lahmu.

As more and more Lahmu climbed over the high wall, hundreds of heavily armored soldiers blocked the eastern section of the city wall, each carrying three or four Lahmu on their backs.

The originally heavy armor was not only shattered by the Sorcery Array on the outside, but the hard metal was also riddled with holes of various sizes.

Dried blood, pink bits of flesh, and what appeared to be fragments of internal organs clung to the surface of the armor, creating a red and black hue filled with a ferocious and sinister aura.

"Die... die!"

"Undying? The enemy... is undying?"

The intermittent murmurs of the Lahmu group were mixed with confusion and irritability.

These monsters could clearly see that the moment their claws retracted from the limbs of these human soldiers, the bloody holes were immediately covered with granulation tissue, and the wounds healed rapidly.

The heavily armored soldiers before him then brandished their punctured weapons and attacked with even more frenzied frenzy.

The formation of several hundred people actually withstood the repeated attacks of thousands of Lahmu swarms at the eastern gap.

After breaking through the North Wall's defenses, these Child of Mystery found themselves unable to advance any further, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate during their battle.

"These are... Kusa people?"

Inside the Royal Palace Divine Tower, Merlin stared in astonishment at the Sorcery Array this formidable and powerful elite force, and discerned their origins and composition from their slogans.

"Could it be that the Underworld Goddess granted immortality to so many people at the same time?"

"Ereshkigal controls death, but she doesn't grant immortality any power."

Samael shook his head slightly, took a small empty bottle from somewhere in his pocket, threw it onto the sand table, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"It's the Immortal Herb!"

"King Gilgamesh went to sea before and brought back all the remaining Immortal Herb."

"I had the sacrificial site concoct Magic Potion, and then selected a group of people from the Kusa people to take it."

"Although they do not possess complete immortality, their self-healing properties, combined with Treasury of Babylon weapons and armor, make them an invaluable asset in dealing with this level of warfare."

Moreover, since the Kusa people worshipped Ereshkigal, they naturally regarded this Elixir of Immortality as a miracle and a blessing.

Therefore, having witnessed the conditions of the underworld during their state of suspended animation during the plague, they became even more fearless and undaunted by death.

To live is to fight for God; to die is to return to God's embrace!

The ancient serpent was kept in hand as an emergency measure. This surprise force was even more elite and terrifying than Leonidas's Sparta phalanx.

Heh, perhaps the gods sent the Primordial Serpent to devour Gilgamesh Immortal Herb because they feared that once humans gained immortality, their potential would be unleashed and challenge their authority.

Since that's the case, whatever you fear can become a weapon for humanity!

The Shepherd King surveyed the battlefield with a deep gaze, advancing the colored war pieces within the North Wall defensive line on the sand table.

Leonidas, who was in charge of training these men, gave them a new name—the Undying Army!

This was Sparta's former mortal enemy, and a nightmare that made the entire Greek World tremble.

The future establishment of the "Undying Army" Persian Empire also originated from the land of Mesopotamia.

Is this just a coincidence?

Or is it...?

Just as Samael was deep in thought, the ground trembled, the south gate collapsed with a roar, and a torrent of mud, carrying the Lahmu, swept into Uruk.

Houses on both sides collapsed one after another, and the swarming black monsters laughed lewdly, searching for the scent of living people, and flocked towards the vicinity of the Royal Palace Divine Tower.

It's here!

The ancient serpent slightly raised its eyelids and pushed several monstrous beast-head chess pieces toward the main roads in front of the Royal Palace Divine Tower.

At the same time, the roof tiles rustled as Jaguar Man swooped down from above, engaging in fierce battles with hordes of leopard- Lahmu and keeping these monsters outside the central square.

Samael narrowed his eyes, gazing at the sand table where black chess pieces were intertwined, his expression meaningful.

If the other side has intelligence and can recognize each other like they did when rescuing the Bull of Heaven, hopefully this protracted and stalemate can buy us more time.

I've opened the gates wide and even put up the city walls!
