Watch Me Bite Like a Mad Dog 1/4
A thick, purplish-red Magic Beam swept across the sky, cleaving through the waves and carving two deep trenches, each tens of meters deep, into the floodwaters.
The three Noah's Ark immediately dispersed, their outer Magecraft barriers solidifying to their limit as they frantically fled the chasm torn open by the Magic Beam.
Ships No. 2 and No. 3, located on the flanks, reacted the fastest and escaped disaster.
Meanwhile, the No. 1 ship, the main fighting force of the Shengna, was the primary target of the Magic Beam.
The priestesses and priests of the Temple of Ea exerted all their strength to barely manage to steer Noah's Ark out of the range of fire at the very moment the deadly beam swept towards them.
But even a slight brush against it caused the outer magical barrier of Noah's Ark to dim instantly.
Several gems that were used to support the operation of the spell shattered and turned into dust.
The ship rocked violently, and everyone was tossed about in the wind and waves, vomiting up their entrails.
Based on the timing of the Magic Beam attack, Apsu should be able to catch up in 5-7 minutes at most.
Moreover, the Aether Storm stirred up by its wings and the Magic Beam it spewed from its mouth were enough to capsize the entire Noah's Ark within three minutes.
We must find a way to delay the completion of the ritual!
Samael's mind raced, his anxious eyes sweeping across the cabin.
However, one after another, familiar, pale, bloodless faces extinguished the flames in his heart.
They were all seriously injured...
Even Merlin, who is most adept at surviving, has synchronized his magic with his future self to repeatedly purify large areas of the Black Tide, and is now also at his limit.
Releasing any of these troops at this point would be suicide.
What other options are there? What other options are there?
Think about it again! Think about it again!
The ancient serpent clutched its head, deep in thought, its mind a jumble of calculations constantly colliding and annihilating.
Every road seemed to be permeated with the stench of blood.
Perhaps, by gathering these seriously wounded together, one after another, their last rays of light could shine forth...
Samael raised his hand and slapped his forehead, crushing the thought that had just popped into his head. He gritted his teeth, his face cold and stern.
Now that we're here, we must make changes!
If I were to accept fate and watch these critically injured and dying friends walk their predetermined path to their doom, what would be the point of all my previous efforts?
"Roar! When everyone else falls, the real protagonist will appear and save the world!"
Just as Samael was caught in an extreme dilemma, a claw emerged from the darkness and patted his shoulder, its voice full of smugness.
"That's right! It's a leopard!"
Miss Leopard Person brought her head close to Samael's, her orange-yellow pupils sparkling, her lips moving slightly in a tactless murmur.
"If you go up there, you might die..."
Samael's lips were pressed tightly together, and his voice was low.
"Goodness, don't underestimate leopards! When felines get angry, they can be quite ferocious!"
The once playful and comical goddess now slightly raised her chin, gently patted Samael's shoulder, and responded with a soft hum, her eyes filled with feline pride, like a ferocious beast defending its territory and baring its claws.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several beams of split light rained down from mid-air, grazing the three Noah's Ark to varying degrees, and causing the outer magical protective barrier to weaken rapidly.
Nearly half of the thousands of Magecraft, priestesses, and priests responsible for maintaining the operation of the spell collapsed from exhaustion, groaning as they fainted.
If this continues, before Apsu arrives, the surrounding thunder and storms will tear Noah's Ark to shreds.
"Ten minutes should be enough, right?"
As the cheerful inquiry reached his ears, Samael nodded subconsciously.
"Well, it's decided then!"
By the time he came to his senses and tried to stop her, Miss Leopard Person had already moved her wrists and come to the broken Solar Calendar Stone, placing her hand on it.
The Jaguar Man seemed to have thought of something the moment he extended his claws, and turned his head with a tragic expression, muttering a request.
"Samael, Q'uq'umatz likes you. If she beats me up because of this in the future, you have to help stop her!"
"Boom!"
The instant Samael nodded, a claw slid into the cracked Solar Calendar Stone as easily as cutting through tofu, and pulled out the central circular core.
At the same time, the feline opened its jaws in an exaggerated arc and swallowed the fist-sized core of the Solar Calendar Stone into its stomach.
"Puff!"
Quetzalcoatl, lying on the bed, had a face as pale as paper, a distorted expression, and was spitting out bright red blood.
What are you doing!
Samael's expression changed drastically. He was about to raise his hand to stop her when his right arm was grabbed tightly by a soft hand.
"Hold on for ten minutes, and I promise I won't beat you up again!"
Feathered Serpent God gazed intently at the figure enveloped in golden sunlight, his lips parted in thought, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Teskater Poka, I'll give you one last push!"
In an instant, the Maya Goddess casually slashed open her left wrist, spewing hot, golden blood at the leopard -Jaguar Man.
The sunlight that had been floating and swirling on the Jaguar Man suddenly boiled and transformed into a raging red and black flame.
The goddess's entire body spread out rapidly, like eerie smoke, filling the entire cabin in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, layers of blood appeared before everyone's eyes. In the mesmerizing scene, they vaguely saw a monster that moved like smoke, leaning against a throne of withered bones.
Below the Mayan altar, warriors who had been granted the right to sacrifice knelt on the stone slabs with fervent expressions.
They picked up obsidian daggers, frantically plunged the blades into their chests, pulled out the still-beating, vibrant hearts, and placed them on the intricately carved stone discs before finally dying with smiles on their faces, satisfied.
That disorienting illusion of a temporal and spatial rupture came quickly and vanished just as fast, disappearing in an instant with the noise of the hatch opening and the light, carefree humming.
"Hmph, let me show you what happens when you anger a leopard!"
Immediately, the ship swayed slightly, and a ferocious god, shimmering with red and black flames and blood streaks, leaped into the air and landed on the back of the ethereal dragon, unleashing a frenzied rampage.
"Leopard Kick!"
"Leopard Fist!"
"Leopard's Eye!"
"A mad dog bites!"
"(⊙o⊙)... Uh, wrong, wrong, it's Leopard Bite!"
On the dragon's back, covered with dense purplish-red scales, a small but exceptionally agile and ferocious feline shattered large sections of the ethereal body's flesh and skeleton, killing its way from head to tail.
An uncontrollable roar continuously emanated from Apsu's mouth, and his outstretched dorsal fins then emitted dense, rain-like Magic Beam.
I seem to remember that the ruler of the First Solar Age of the Maya, "Smoking Mirror" Tezkat Kapok, was a renowned Grand- rank berserker, even when possessed by a human, as long as he revealed his full form!
As the ancient serpent gazed at the two figures engaged in fierce battle amidst the Aether Storm raging in the sky, memories from the past surfaced in its mind, giving it a sudden sense of hope and clarity.
"What's your plan? Hurry up!"
"Even if she obtains the power of the Solar Era from me, her Mad Enhancement won't last long!"
Quetzalcoatl grabbed Samael's arm, rousing the Shepherd King from his shock, and then coughed up blood again, unable to fall.
Samael hurriedly picked up the Good God who had helped humanity so much, and to let her rest in peace, he turned around and shouted at the central cabin, which had been bustling with activity ever since.
"King Gilgamesh, the Great Sacrifice!"
"Lord Samael, all preparations are complete!"
Amidst the turbulence brought by the wind, waves, and thunder, Siduri gripped the railing and responded solemnly.
At the same time, the sacred and ethereal ancient epic resonates in the Akkadian chants.
