Did you lead the devils here?

You damn old man, Merlin!

No wonder it's such a coincidence. As soon as I got into trouble, someone came to save the day!

You were the one who led the devils here. It's bad enough I got caught in the crossfire, but you have the nerve to thank me!

Do you have any humanity at all, you bastard!

In the vast, dark night, Samael, who was forced to abandon his warm campfire and choose to flee as a group, pushed his beast-like physique to its limit.

The Ancient Snake ran and weaved frantically across the wasteland, almost fading into a black shadow.

His Serpent Eyes narrowed, staring menacingly at the back of the Succubus's head ahead, his teeth itching with rage.

The Great Sage leading the way instinctively flinched, turning his head back with a hint of embarrassment.

"Friend, don't look at me like that. It was unexpected."

Hah, I'd believe that if a ghost told me!

Samael responded with a cold snort, while also sensing the violent auras gathering around him from all directions. He held his breath, following the Nightmare's footsteps, and put his head down to run for his life.

"It's all Merlin's fault for disturbing her at the Temple of Blood!"

The purple-haired girl Anna, who was quite conscientious, snorted and slowed her pace slightly to cover the rear, leaving the safest middle position for some innocent victim.

I knew it!

Samael's expression twisted slightly, his teeth grinding.

You bastard must have courted death by messing around in the Temple of Blood, alerting that unidentified Beast Goddess, and doing some unspeakable things in secret.

As a result, the beast pack surrounding the Beast Goddess chased everyone all the way to Uruk.

And it's true that snakes hold grudges, but if it were just a minor scuffle, they wouldn't chase this far, would they?

According to the map, that Beast Goddess dispatched troops from the Fir Forest, crossed the Two Rivers, circumvented the northwest border of the Mount Epiph mountain range, and inserted themselves into the flank of the Babylonia frontline, raiding for thousands of miles!

Damn Succubus, what kind of massive mess did you get yourself into! To the point where the Beast Goddess couldn't even be bothered to besieve Uruk.

More importantly, I'm innocent! I'm a meritorious official who reported the situation to Uruk! Why should I be running!

"How about we try to lure away the guys behind us, and you take a different path?"

The Mage in front, seemingly sensing the increasingly heavy malice behind them, blinked innocently and offered a friendly suggestion.

"Stop the nonsense and lead the way!"

Samael glanced at the scarlet "lights" illuminating both sides of the wasteland, and squeezed out the difficult words from between his teeth, his expression as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Split up and run now? Do you think I'm an idiot!

There are monsters everywhere. They can't catch you guys, but they can catch me?!

Besides, we're already mixed together. If I say I'm innocent and not with you, will these monsters believe me?

"Roar! Roar!"

Just as Samael's thoughts were in turmoil, two purple-furred Soul Eater Beasts, skilled in stealth, lowered their bodies and approached. Then, they unexpectedly burst out from the wild grass, pouncing and biting at the weakest link among the three.

Damn it! I didn't use any taunts, why are they chasing and biting me?

As the Ancient Snake gritted his teeth and cursed internally, his pupils contracted sharply. He stepped to buffer the impact and stabilized his stance. His muscles bulged as his semi-circular arms narrowly slipped around the neck of the Soul Eater Beast on the right.

Immediately, Samael's legs were rooted to the spot. He initiated a strangulation, and with extraordinary arm strength, smashed the monster, whose cervical vertebrae were broken, towards the Soul Eater Beast on the other side.

However, that Soul Eater Beast displayed unexpected agility, forcibly stopping itself and avoiding the thrown weapon aimed at it.

At the same time, the monster, seeing that its humanoid prey's old strength was nearly exhausted and new strength had not yet arisen, immediately leaped and flicked its claws, opening its mouth to bite Samael's neck from the side.

"Swoosh!"

In a moment of danger, Anna, the purple-haired girl, swung her scythe chain, slicing the Soul Eater Beast in two.

"Hurry and go!"

Samael nodded from afar, secretly dispelling the madly gathering death qi within his body. At the same time, not daring to hesitate even slightly, he continued to run with his head down.

If he had fought desperately just now, he might not have been unable to defeat the other Soul Eater Beast, but if he fell behind, it wouldn't just be one monster anymore, but a whole pack!

So, I was saved again...

We're both snakes, but why am I living such a miserable life?

The Ancient Snake whispered mournfully in his heart, casting a lingering glance at the enhancement materials scattered on the ground behind him. To save his life, he had to suppress his craving for the Beast Spirit Core.

"I've caught you, Uruk's rats!"

Just as the three were fleeing for their lives, a clear and cold, androgynous voice echoed across the wasteland, followed by the sharp sound of air breaking.

"Bang!"

The chain with the silver rune spearhead lunged forward and pierced. Anna, covering the rear, turned around and swung her scythe blade with all her might.

As the two clashed, a piercing sound of metal ringing exploded, splashing sparks that ignited the dark night.

Under the dazzling halo, the green-haired, white-robed androgynous beauty pressed her lips into a cold, sharp smile. A strange rhythm rippled from her chest, transmitting to her arms.

Creak... creak...

Anna heard the strange sound and looked down at the scythe chain, which was deformed and broken from being mangled, her expression filled with astonishment.

"Boom!"

With immense force, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami raging, Anna's spear chain was chiseled open. The attack charged forward ferociously, smashing the petite figure mercilessly.

Seeing the girl with nowhere to brace herself about to fall into the monster pack on the right, the Ancient Snake bent its knees and leaped from the side, catching Anna and releasing the remaining force as she rolled.

As Samael looked at Anna's slightly pale little face and the trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, he stood up and craned his neck, roaring at the White Haired Swindler in front of him.

"Merlin! You have the guts to do it, but not to admit it?"

As he shouted in release, the sense of danger behind him, like thorns on his back, slightly dissipated.

Merlin? The Caster under Heroic King Gilgamesh, who responded to the summon?

So it was this guy who had angered Mother in the Temple of Blood?

Damn it, how much of my secrets did he see?!

The Androgynous Green Haired Beauty's gaze was sharp, her pupils locked onto the Magus of Flowers, who was fleeing at the forefront. Behind her, a golden vortex surged open, and the spearhead chains that shot out turned sharply towards the new target.

At this moment, the White Haired Big Brother, whose mastermind identity had been revealed, had a stiff body, his hairs standing on end, and he turned his head with a wry smile.

Tsk, what do you expect from an amateur mage who bites his tongue even when chanting at high speed?

Facing him is the top Divine Construct Weapon of the Mesopotamia world – Enkidu!

According to the information he gathered from his employer, King Gilgamesh, Enkidu's base stats are within a specific range.

However, due to the nature of a Divine Creation, attributes are allocated based on the 'Metamorphosis' ability.

Simply put, it means points can be reallocated freely.

It was precisely for this reason that just now, Enkidu suddenly piled his body stats into strength, catching Anna off guard and smashing her away with a single move.

Even the young form of that Goddess couldn't withstand Enkidu's explosive output. Do I have to attract the firepower?

Never mind, never mind. Charging into melee combat is impossible, I must maintain the demeanor of a mage.

So, I'll just run!

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author; perhaps they just changed their name!
