boom!
The ground beneath their feet exploded the moment Kotori pushed off.
Gravel and dirt flew in all directions, leaving a large crater tens of meters in diameter behind her.
Kotori, wielding the Camael, transformed into a crimson meteor and hurtled straight toward Gorgon.
Gorgon watched the small red figure hurtling towards him.
She did not back down.
In her view, the other party was far inferior to her in size and strength, and even if she charged over, she would only be courting death.
Gorgon's humanoid upper body leaned slightly forward, preparing to take the impact head-on with her massive frame, and then crush the tiny insect while it was still dizzy.
However.
Bang----!!
Kotori's body collided with Gorgon's upper body.
Gorgon's expression changed.
She felt as if she had been hit head-on by a meteorite.
A brute force far exceeding her expectations emanated from Kotori.
That tiny red dot, which looked no bigger than the palm of a hand, carried a greater impact force than itself.
Gorgon's enormous body, hundreds of meters long, was forcefully pushed forward.
Her snake tail dragged two deep furrows, several meters deep, across the barren ground.
He was forcefully knocked back over a hundred meters.
"What?!"
For the first time, there was a hint of wavering in Gorgon's voice.
All the Servant on the city wall witnessed this scene.
That enormous, Goddess of Demonic Beasts.
He was knocked back over a hundred meters by a girl who was less than 1.5 meters tall.
"... Am I seeing things?"
Amakusa Shirou's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"She knocked that monster away."
Tomoe Gozen stood on the city wall, her hands unconsciously gripping the edge of the wall.
Kotori recovered from the impact.
A completely different expression appeared on her face.
It was a smile brimming with fighting spirit, almost maniacal.
His lips curled up, revealing his small, white teeth.
The calm lake surface had completely disappeared in the crimson pupils.
Instead, it was replaced by raging flames.
This monster's body is incredibly tough.
How interesting!
Kotori swung her giant axe without hesitation.
She is now very close to Gorgon.
The Camael's massive axe blade, wreathed in crimson flames, slammed down on the Gorgon's humanoid torso from top to bottom.
"Well--!!"
Gorgon let out a muffled groan.
The axe blade cut into her skin, leaving a huge wound on Gorgon's upper body.
Blood gushed from the wound; it was a dark red, corrosive liquid.
This wound would be fatal to an ordinary human.
But for Gorgon of such a massive size, the wound was like a gash on an elephant.
They are far too insignificant.
It wasn't even enough to affect her actions.
However.
Gorgon, however, truly felt the pain.
The wound began to regenerate and heal the instant it was made, and the dark red flesh closed up again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But healing is healing.
The burning pain remained lingering in the original location of the wound.
It's like a wound that has healed, but the pain hasn't disappeared.
"You—!!"
Gorgon roared.
The sound echoed across the entire wasteland.
Her snake-like hair suddenly stood on end.
Dozens of enormous snake hairs attacked Kotori simultaneously.
Some tried to entangle.
Some tried to bite.
Some of them opened their mouths and spat out purple energy beams into the Kotori.
Kotori to these overwhelming attacks.
She neither dodged nor avoided it.
The Camael drew red arcs in her hand.
Each arc carries flames powerful enough to incinerate mountains.
Swing it out.
One of the snake's hairs was severed.
Swing again.
It shattered a purple beam of light.
The severed snake hairs and shattered beams of light were completely engulfed by the crimson flames upon contact with the Camael flames, leaving not even a trace.
Kotori was like a swirling vortex of fire in the eye of a storm.
All attacks that approached her were shattered and burned.
Even if a few stragglers managed to attack her.
A snake's tail lashed out and struck her left shoulder.
A beam of purple light grazed her side.
However, these attacks were blocked by the Astral Dress's defense and Magic Resistance A resistance the moment they touched the Astral Dress, Fifth Form.
Not a single mark was left on the clothes.
This level of attack was not enough to injure Kotori.
From an outsider's perspective
This is a battle between a girl and a monster.
At first, the girl's side had an overwhelming advantage.
"Mother!"
Kingu's voice came from behind Gorgon.
"I'll help you!"
The figure with long green hair emerged from behind Gorgon's snake tail.
Kingu extended a hand.
Green lightning crackled around him.
Immediately afterwards.
Numerous silver chains appeared out of thin air.
Dozens, even hundreds, of silver chains appeared from the void and attacked Kotori's location.
The Chains of Heaven.
If Kotori is truly a deity, then these chains are precisely what serve to restrain her.
This is Enkidu's ability, and also one of the most effective weapons against Divinity beings.
Kotori saw the silver chains flying towards her.
She didn't dodge.
The Camael spun in her hand.
"Clang clang clang clang--"
The sounds of the axe blade clashing against the chain were so dense they formed a continuous chorus.
The silver chains were cleaved apart piece by piece by the flames of the giant axe.
But those chains could appear out of thin air from all sides of her, in too many numbers and in too many unpredictable directions.
Several chains came around her from an angle outside her visual blind spot.
It wrapped around her left wrist.
Another bandage wrapped around her right ankle.
"... That's it?"
Kotori glanced down at the chains binding her.
She has no Divinity.
The special attack effect of the Chains of Heaven is completely ineffective against her.
These chains were just sturdy metal bars to her.
She jolted violently.
Click--!
The chain wrapped around her wrist shattered.
There was another jolt.
The chain on her ankle was broken.
Shattered silver fragments were scattered on the ground.
Kingu looked shocked.
"How so?"
The Chains of Heaven have the strongest binding effect on gods; this is an ability he inherited from Enkidu's body, and it has never failed.
Could it be that Mother guessed wrong?
The other party is not a god?
If it weren't a god, how could it possess such immense power?
Kotori didn't give Kingu time to think.
She charged at Gorgon again.
On her charge, she casually cleaved through three chains that were trying to stop her.
The Camael was raised above his head.
Flames gathered on the axe blade.
Then he slashed down hard on Gorgon's back.
Gorgon turned to parry, wrapping a snake's hair around the axe handle.
But Kotori's power was too great.
The snake's hair was burned off by the flames from the giant axe.
The axe blade continued its downward strike.
"Ugh--!"
The axe struck the golden wings on Gorgon's back.
Golden feathers scattered in the flames.
The Camael axe blade pierced the base of the wings.
Then Kotori dragged it horizontally.
Half of its wing was cut off.
Golden feathers and dark red blood rained down from the sky.
Gorgon let out a painful roar.
Half of a golden wing broke off from her back and crashed to the ground.
The Servant watching from the city walls saw everything clearly.
"She cut off the wings of the Female Demonic Beast God..."
"..."
Ushiwakamaru's hand holding the knife was trembling.
"That's amazing..."
"Is this Berserker...?"
"There's definitely a reason why this red-haired girl's class is Berserker."
Leonidas's voice was filled with awe.
"Turns out she's the type who gets more frantic the more she fights."
