In Uruk, several winged dragons soared into the sky!
They carried everyone to meet the approaching flying Lahmu.
These Lahmu had wings and flew incredibly fast. They also looked much stronger than regular Lahmu, clearly elite—the elite forces among the Lahmu!
"Quetzalcoatl, Ishtar, try to conserve your mana for the battles to come. We'll handle these Lahmu first!"
Mo Shuying charged forward on his Hippogriff, speaking as he went. The Hippogriff had been having a blast lately; flying and fighting like this was much more enjoyable than resting on the back of the world.
"Caw!"
Dimensional Leap led the charge! Mo Shuying pulled out a large horn, took a deep breath, and blew it forcefully!
"Wooooooo!"
The sound waves spread incredibly wide! But the Lahmu flying towards them only paused slightly before continuing their approach!
"It didn't work? They really are creatures that evolve quickly!"
Mo Shuying put away his horn and his eyes widened! The Lahmu at the very front immediately burst into flames! Then, the Hippogriff carried Mo Shuying directly into the swarm of Lahmu! Mo Shuying's mana erupted, maintaining an unbreakable defense while he began punching them down one by one!
"Wither! Siphoning Strike! Overwhelming Might! Come on! Intentional Blast Punch!!"
*"Boom!"*
A massive sound echoed through the Lahmu swarm, and an empty space was blasted open! The Hippogriff seized the chance to fly out of the clear area!
"Caw, caw, caw, caw!"
These Lahmu clearly possessed considerable intelligence. Knowing that Mo Shuying was a tough opponent, they ignored him and continued to rush towards Uruk. To avoid being concentrated and destroyed by Mo Shuying, they even chose to scatter.
But in front of them were Quetzalcoatl and her allies, who were close behind!
Ishtar, Anna, Mash, and even Fujimaru Ritsuka began to act, all with good results. But the most spectacular was the big sister.
"Mmm-hmm~ Let's have a little aerial wrestling!"
Quetzalcoatl leaped directly from her Quetzalcoatl winged dragon, flashing through the air like a shooting star. She clamped her legs tightly around a Lahmu's neck, twisted it, and broke it! Then she did a backflip, holding the Lahmu, and slammed it into another Lahmu!
"Roar!"
The Quetzalcoatl winged dragon wasn't idle either. Although it looked like a winged dragon, it was a true high-level phantom beast, a dragon-kind! It was Quetzalcoatl's Noble Phantasm! If Quetzalcoatl wished, she could even make the Quetzalcoatl winged dragon summon large thunderclouds! But that would consume too much mana.
However, even without unleashing its strongest weather-manipulating ability, the Quetzalcoatl winged dragon's power far surpassed that of these Lahmu.
Its enormous mouth could bite a Lahmu in half, and its sharp claws could directly crush a Lahmu's body! It flew to catch the falling Quetzalcoatl. These two, relying only on their physical strength, were slaughtering the Lahmu swarm.
"Caw, caw, caw, caw!!!"
Discovering tough opponents again, the Lahmu continued to evade. Their target was Uruk. To be precise, they wanted to find the Holy Grail. Only by finding the Holy Grail for their mother, Tiamat, would they truly become fearless!
"You won't get close to Uruk!"
However, it wasn't just Mo Shuying and Quetzalcoatl blocking them. In the air, Ushiwakamaru stood on a green winged dragon and activated her Noble Phantasm! Dan-no-ura! Eight-Boat Leap!
Eight figures leaped continuously through the air. Even the smallest foothold allowed Ushiwakamaru to unleash powerful impacts! She was taking them down one by one. Ushiwakamaru alone could form an impenetrable defensive wall!
"Ah, gah, gah, gah!"
The Lahmu were split up again. This time, there were about 3000 Lahmu in the swarm. After being continuously blocked, only about a thousand remained close to Uruk. But they had only just approached Uruk! When a loud shout was heard!
"Udon Noodles!"
From the front! 300 Heroic Spirits threw their spears! Precisely hitting the Lahmu in the air! Then, continuously rising fiery round shields blocked the Lahmu's charge!
Leonidas stood proudly before Uruk's city gates. He was the strongest shield! Indestructible!
And behind him, Benkei leaped onto the city wall, standing like a benevolent king! Behind him! A Buddhist light suddenly appeared!
"To Paradise! Five Hundred Arhats, Potalaka Crossing the Sea!!"
In an instant, Benkei seemed to transform into a Buddha. A path of Buddhist light extended from his feet, and numerous Buddhist figures walked along this light path, smiling as they approached the Lahmu in front!
There was no escaping. These Buddhist figures appeared almost instantaneously in front of many Lahmu, as if teleporting. They reached out and touched the Lahmu's bodies, and then there was nothing.
The Buddhist figures and the Lahmu vanished together.
Five hundred Buddhist figures enlightened 500 Lahmu. The results were impressive!
After these waves of interception, only a handful of Lahmu managed to reach the skies above Uruk.
Gilgamesh's expression in the divine tower was not good. His Servants had unleashed three Noble Phantasms in a row, and he, as the Master providing mana, was a bit overwhelmed.
Especially Benkei's Noble Phantasm—if he hadn't recovered all his strength, he might not have been able to unleash it.
Looking at the last hundred or so Lahmu that had broken through, the King said only one thing.
"Fire!"
*"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"*
A volley from the Divine Authority Seal! Dazzling fireworks bloomed above Uruk. This wave of Lahmu attacks was completely repelled.
At the front lines, after snapping the neck of the last Lahmu, Mo Shuying glanced behind him. It seemed there were no more problems.
Just then.
"Mo Shuying! Tiamat has surfaced! We must stop her quickly!"
"Understood, Quetzalcoatl! Ishtar! Let's go!" Mo Shuying shouted, and the women nodded, immediately following him as they rushed towards Tiamat.
Dr. Roman said anxiously, "Tiamat seems to have sped up even more after reaching land! Time is running out!"
Night had fallen, but the land was covered in black mud, which burned everything in its path, so burning trees and ground could be seen everywhere.
Mesopotamia was truly gone, but Uruk was still holding on!
After flying for a while, they could see Tiamat in the distance, like a colossal deity.
The Mother of Gods stood tall upon the earth.
Beneath her feet was a black tide of chaos, which was crucial for Tiamat's movement and also the objective of Mo Shuying and the others on this trip.
Just as Quetzalcoatl had said before, the Tiamat that had already manifested could no longer be destroyed by the power of Mesopotamia. This was a suppression from the Akasha's Divinity. Even if Ishtar unleashed ten or so Noble Phantasms, there wouldn't be any damage, at least not on the ground.
But Quetzalcoatl was different; she was not a Deity of Mesopotamia, so her attacks would still be effective.
However, the current Tiamat possessed immortality, making any attack futile. It was better to conserve their strength and wait until Tiamat fell into the Underworld before making a move!
They quickly approached and could hear Tiamat's divine roar from afar.
"Ahhhhhh~"
The roar carried terrifying magical power, and even more terrifying were the overwhelming flying Lahmu that surged out from around Tiamat, rushing toward Mo Shuying and the others!
