I Think I Can Still Be Saved
"Ah! What's with this cold air?! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
"Don't come any closer!"
The Gorgon the Beast Goddess sensed the rapidly approaching, blurry crimson mass on Ugallu's body, and countless voices exploded in her mind, causing her to suffer a splitting headache.
The purplish-yellow snake tail lashed wildly in all directions, turning nearby rocks into dust. The barren land was covered with furrows, and the rocks that were kicked up exploded through the air.
"Get out of my way!"
"You ugly monster, get out of my sight!"
The goddess Gorgon covered her Mystic Eyes with both hands, opened her mouth and let out a sharp roar, while hundreds of giant purple-red snakes behind her rushed wildly to attack the man and beast.
"Monster? Can't you see who the real monster is?"
Anna looked up at the Gorgon who had fallen into madness, Godly Artifact that Cuts the Undead Hepal tightly, a hint of pity in her eyes.
"It is a sad future to be reduced to beasts that know only hatred and revenge."
"For the sake of everyone in Uruk, I will absolutely not go down that path!"
"So, let me end all of this!"
As the resolute whisper rang in his ear, Samael instinctively sensed something was wrong.
But before he could react, the petite figure on his back leaped up, stepping over the venomous snakes that had spread there, and ran wildly towards the Serpent Goddess surrounded by a purple-red light band.
End your head my foot!
Restraint! Restraint, don't you understand?!
Samael leaped up on all fours, dodging two venomous snakes that lunged at him with their claws crossed, cursing under his breath.
Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to come into contact with the Beast Goddess before her divinity was weakened.
Of the three pillars, the other two can at least be reasonable, but this one is a killing machine specially created by Kingu and the Demon God King Goetia.
The chances of surviving a death sentence in her hands are less than 50%.
Therefore, even though I followed Anna on this adventure, it was only to interfere and prevent this Beast Goddess from launching another sweeping attack.
With his current abilities and Anna's, trying to defeat this boss, who is still at his peak, would be like feeding them to an enemy!
And, to be honest, the reason I acted so noblely was mostly to prevent this girl from having a sudden brain fart and doing something foolish.
In the end, he underestimated Anna's determination to sacrifice herself for others, and underestimated her innocence and kindness.
But it was too late to complain, so Samael had no choice but to grit his teeth, jump onto the back of a venomous snake, and run wildly along the body of the Beast Goddess in order to support Anna.
Can't you all listen to human language?!
I'm here to be a hero, not to package myself up and portray myself as a martyr!
Samael swallowed his tears of regret, shrunk into the more agile Uridimmu, and leaped and bounded to dodge the giant mouths of a swarm of purplish-red venomous snakes that snaked towards him.
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!
Luckily, I killed thousands of monsters, maxed out my survivability, and the "Lion Dog" was agile enough; otherwise, I would have died eight times over!
While the ancient snake was muttering to itself, it was highly tense, sometimes adopting a hurdle-jumping posture to avoid obstacles and leaping into the air;
Sometimes it twists and turns its head in mid-air, brushing past the purple-red beam of light;
At times, it would unleash magical power, slapping down its claws to unfold Sorcery Array, summoning a purplish-red spearhead imbued with Death Qi, which would pierce through the biting snake head...
In short, in order to reunite with Anna as soon as possible, Samael did everything he could, jumping left and right with goosebumps on the edge of death.
If he weren't not the target of these snake-haired creatures, and if he weren't surrounded by only seven or eight giant snake heads that seemed to be having a fit of madness, he would have suspected that he would have long since become a snack for the other side.
Even so, the speed of that Young Goddess Form was still beyond his reach.
As the distance gradually increased, the petite figure that had cut the nearby Gorgon into several pieces leaped high into the air without hesitation.
The girl's undead weapon, Hepal, swiftly and decisively slashed at the Beast Goddess mind was in a state of chaos.
"Its fingers are iron, its hair is a prison, and its whispers are sweet poison!"
"This resentment, this revenge, must end. Let us both return to nothingness—the embrace of the goddess!!"
Anna swung her arms down, the eerie purplish-red sharpness pointing directly at the vital point between her breasts.
At the same moment, just as the blade was about to pierce Gorgon's chest, the previously confused Beast Goddess instinctively awoke, and her crimson Mystic Eyes suddenly burst forth with a terrifying eerie light.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! Stop!"
In a hysterical roar, Hepal was close to her body, and the surrounding purplish-red magic surged wildly.
"Bang!"
"Puff!"
Crimson blood gushed out instantly, the dazzling crimson splashing and spraying freely.
A petite figure was sent flying backward at lightning speed. The warm, sticky liquid on her face made her instinctively raise her hand, and cruel crimson blood stained her palm.
"I told you... I didn't want you to come... Can't you just listen to me?"
A weak and labored rebuke came from her bosom.
Anna hurriedly lowered her head and looked at Uridimmu, who was spitting blood in her arms. She instinctively wanted to press the wound with her hands, but the moment he looked up, her expression froze.
Because where he had been standing, a purplish-red venomous snake was biting at his mangled lower body.
Just now, Samael, who had transformed into a demonic beast, rammed into her from the side, pushing her aside, while he himself was bitten by a venomous snake summoned by the goddess Gorgon.
"Samael... I... I'll be good..."
Anna burst into tears, stamped her feet, and hugged her friend, who was now half-lighter, tightly, her eyes filled with pleading.
"You'll be alright! You'll be alright! Hang in there!"
At that moment, Gorgon stared in astonishment at the long, narrow wound on her left arm, the excruciating pain, and the continuous bleeding, which stirred up her deepest fear.
"That weapon... Hepal! It's Hepal!"
The Purple Haired Girl muttered to herself like a madwoman, gently placing the increasingly weak Samael on the ground, her raised eyes fixed on the Beast Goddess.
"I'll get your lower body back for you right now, Merlin!"
"Merlin will definitely have a way!"
The Beast Goddess widened her eyes, an uncontrollable tremor rising from the depths of her soul. She immediately raised her claws, covered her cheeks, and screamed.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
"Kingu! Kingu! Kingu, where are you?!"
Gorgon, writhing frantically and hastily trying to distance himself from the Gorgon, was surrounded by mournful cries.
At the same time, before the nemesis-like threat could get close, the Beast Goddess turned around and hurriedly wandered into the night.
"Don't run! Unforgivable!"
"Give Samael back to me!"
Anna bit her lower lip until it bled, letting out a sorrowful and desperate scream.
However, just as she was about to take a step to give chase, her cloak was grabbed tightly by a pale hand.
As the purple-haired loli turned around in astonishment, she saw incredulously that the man who had just been on the verge of death had bright red flesh buds wriggling from the broken ends of his lower body.
Moreover, his raised right hand was gripping the hem of her clothes, and a strained smile appeared on his bloodless face.
"Stop chasing me, I think I... can still be saved..."
At the same time, brilliant and colorful lights burst forth above the Babylonia defense line as hundreds of beams of light struck the ground, blasting the dense horde of monsters into pieces.
Immediately following, a smug and arrogant sneer echoed across the night sky.
"How dare they touch my Uruk! Ma'anna, teach these bastards a lesson!"
Phew! I finally made it through.
Upon hearing that signature phrase, Samael let out a long sigh, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier until they gradually stuck together and closed, his consciousness sinking into boundless darkness.
