The Lahmu proclaimed themselves a new species.
Unlike the Demonic Beasts that came before them, though they obeyed their mother's commands, they also possessed their own thoughts.
When facing weak enemies, they would mock and abuse them, but when encountering powerful foes, they would also feel fear and trepidation.
It's an instinct for living beings to bully the weak and fear the strong. Besides, they were just children, only a dozen minutes old; what did they know? They were just kids!
"Waaah!!"
One of the Lahmu wailed towards the sky, and soon all the Lahmu began to cry, filling the entire beach with their weeping.
Mo Shuying frowned. He hadn't expected to single-handedly stop so many Lahmu. He had only eliminated a few dozen, yet it had surprisingly achieved the effect of tying up twenty thousand Lahmu.
However, the scene before him felt familiar. Isn't this...
...like kindergarteners losing a fight and calling their parents?
*"Whoosh!"*
Just as expected! Suddenly, a large number of Chains of Heaven descended, and our familiar friend, Kingu, reappeared.
Kingu flew over, and as he looked at Mo Shuying, he felt a bit nervous. Although he had grown stronger, some people simply couldn't be defeated, no matter how much stronger you became.
"Stop crying, all of you! Go! Ignore him! Go do what you're supposed to do!"
As the older brother of the Lahmu, Kingu could naturally command them.
Hearing their elder brother, the Lahmu gradually stopped crying, then cautiously bypassed Mo Shuying and began rushing towards Uruk!
"You always ruin my plans, again and again. You truly live up to King Solomon's nomination, you are indeed different."
Kingu spoke, looking at Mo Shuying, giving him ample praise.
But Mo Shuying said nothing. It was the same old trick! He vanished instantly!
"You!"
Kingu's heart jolted! You're coming back again?! Is there no end to this?!
Kingu instinctively spun around, trying to guard his back, but then his vision blurred, and someone appeared right in front of him.
"Pfft!"
The familiar sensation of being gutted. Black blood spilled from Kingu's mouth, and the look he gave Mo Shuying was one of profound resentment.
"I... cough... cough... I'm immortal... heh heh... Mother has awakened... this world is beyond saving... even you can't..."
As he spoke, Kingu's body disintegrated into ash. Mo Shuying withdrew his hand, glanced at the Lahmu running into the distance, then looked towards the depths of the ocean. Even from this far away, the terrifying aura was still very distinct.
"Still couldn't stop them... First, let's head back to Uruk. Romani, have you notified Mash and the others?"
Mo Shuying turned and flew towards Uruk, simultaneously calling Dr. Roman.
"I've already notified them! They're on their way to Uruk now!"
"Good."
With Quetzalcoatl's wyverns, traveling was still very fast. And Uruk was no longer the same; that king was no longer the one from the original story who only knew how to use an axe!
The swarm of Lahmu passed like a plague of locusts, leaving nothing behind.
Mo Shuying followed, continuously attacking, but he noticed that these creatures were getting faster and faster, already adapting well to their bodies.
They were growing rapidly, from newly born infants to mature beings.
"My speed is still too slow! No choice! I need your power again, Astolfo!"
The speed of the windbreaker was too slow, and he was gradually being left behind. There was no other option. Mo Shuying transformed his card. Please, Astolfo!
"Hippogriff!"
*"Screech!!"*
Hearing Mo Shuying's call, a magnificent phantom beast flew from the sky! It seemed to cross time and space to appear at that very moment.
Mo Shuying mounted it, and the Hippogriff let out a cry, beginning to display its extreme speed!
*"Whoosh!"*
The Hippogriff's speed was top-tier even among phantom beasts. The distance that had opened up between them instantly began to close, and within a few breaths, they had caught up to the tail end of the main group.
"Here we go! Let's do something big!"
A horn appeared in Mo Shuying's hand, but then it enlarged, transforming into a massive bugle!
He pointed the bell of the horn downwards, put his mouth to it, and took a deep breath!
*"Wooooooosh! Whaaaaaah!!"*
A terrifying, ear-splitting sonic wave radiated outwards! Instantly enveloping a large number of Lahmu!
"Ah! Ah!"
"Waaah! Waaah!"
This horn was called the Demon Flute of Panic, specifically used to drive away monsters. It could induce panic in opponents and also cause a certain amount of sonic damage.
Under the influence of Mo Shuying's demonic sound, the Lahmu, who had been charging straight ahead, began to scatter. The Hippogriff carried Mo Shuying over the Lahmu army, flying past and causing a large number of Lahmu to panic and flee in all directions. In an instant, half of the Lahmu fell into disarray and chaos.
Still, the Demon Flute of Panic wasn't effective against all Lahmu; a large number continued to charge towards Uruk.
These Lahmu were, after all, Children of God and possessed strong Magecraft resistance. The fact that the flute worked at all was already quite good, mainly because they had been born so recently. If even a little more time passed, perhaps just one day, they would grow to a terrifying degree, rendering the flute ineffective. Listening to it too often would also diminish its power.
Mo Shuying had been playing the flute the whole way, managing to buy a significant amount of time. His lips were stiff from playing, and eventually, it had no real effect, so he put it away.
Tsk! Why does this horn taste sweet after playing it for so long? It's such a familiar taste!
Mo Shuying wondered, but didn't dwell on it. Uruk was just ahead!
"Caw caw caw! Run! Run!"
"Waaah waah waah! Help! Help!"
After running for half a day, the Lahmu had attacked several small villages along the way. Mo Shuying had managed to save some people, but a portion of the humans were killed by them. After coming into contact with humans, they learned human language at an astonishing speed! Though they were still only babbling!
Ahead lay the walls of Uruk. While not as grand as the Northern Wall, they were still very tall.
Having received intelligence, Uruk was already on high alert. At the same time, with the threat of Demonic Beasts and Gorgon gone from the Northern Wall, the troops there were already retreating to reinforce Uruk!
Although reinforcements hadn't arrived yet, they were confident they could hold out, because their King was here!
On the city wall, Gilgamesh stood with his arms crossed, Siduri by his side.
"Siduri, you are not to leave my side for a single step. This is my command, do you understand?" Gilgamesh said.
Siduri quickly affirmed. Although she didn't understand why the King was acting this way today, she was very happy to be cared for by him like this.
"They're here! The monsters are here!"
Following the message from the forward outpost, Gilgamesh could already see the black monsters charging rapidly!
There were over 20,000 of them, a solid black mass! To be honest, these monsters were not something ordinary people could contend with.
Demonic Beasts could be killed, but these Lahmu—just one could wipe out all of Uruk's regular soldiers!
Therefore, these creatures could not be allowed to get close!
Gilgamesh waved his hand, and the 360 Divine Authority Seals distributed throughout Uruk activated! Noble Phantasms loading!
The next second!
"Fire!!!"
