Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to develop to this point."

On another battlefield, Kingu came to Ushiwakamaru and Meilin lightly and said with a smile:

"It seems that your mother's appearance frightened you quite a bit."

His tone was very natural and relaxed. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to chase after Gudafu and the others. He looked like he was completely confident of victory.

"That's it!"

Merlin followed his words, nodded in agreement, then smiled and spread his hands:

"In that case, why don't you just let us go?"

"I don't mind it on my part."

Jin Gu chuckled and said:

"After all, your demise is only a matter of time. Before the real destruction comes, it seems not bad to just watch you struggle ugly."

"but……"

"—!"

Before he finished speaking, Ushiwakamaru seized the opportunity and suddenly attacked without warning. He instantly appeared in front of Jingu and slashed down with his sword!

"Qiang——!"

However, at the moment the attack came, an indestructible chain rose from the ground at Kinko's feet and narrowly blocked Ushiwakamaru's attack!

"what?"

Seeing the opponent's quick reaction, Ushiwakamaru widened his eyes slightly in surprise, then immediately used the force to jump back and avoid the opponent's counterattack chain.

Due to Ushiwakamaru's attack, Kingu's tone paused for a moment, then continued as if nothing had happened:

"…But if I let you go like this, I won't be able to explain to my mother."

"So, please just go and die."

"Come to think of it, with so many important forces lost all at once, I think Gilgamesh's expression would be quite interesting after hearing this news, right?"

Hearing this, Merlin couldn't help but tease:

"It sounds like you care about King Gilgamesh's feelings?"

"……care?"

These words seemed to have touched upon the other party's taboo. The smile on Jin Gu's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a gloomy face and obvious murderous intent.

"boring."

As soon as the words fell, countless chains rose from the ground, all pointed their spears at Merlin and flew towards him. In the blink of an eye, Merlin's heart was pierced by thousands of arrows, turning him into a hedgehog.

But the next moment, Merlin, who had turned into a hedgehog, disappeared as petals.

The real Merlin appeared on the other side, looking at Jin Gu with a cold gaze, scratching his head in shame and smiling:

"Oh my, this is really, it seems that I accidentally touched someone's sore spot."

"Sorry sorry."

“——Die!!”

……

...

Regardless, they did achieve their goal and successfully delayed the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon and Kingu.

However, the situation is not optimistic.

On Kingu's side, Merlin did not have much ability in frontal combat, and could only rely on magic to assist Ushiwakamaru while avoiding Kingu's pursuit of him.

However, even with the help of Merlin's magic, Ushiwakamaru still found it difficult to cause damage to Kingo.

This is not a gap in technology and ability, but a more fundamental one——

The functions of the two are very different.

The situation on the side of the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon was equally bad.

"Why is my attack completely ineffective?!"

Ishtar kept dodging and moving in the air, avoiding the opponent's attacks, while letting out a miserable cry.

To be precise, her attacks were not completely ineffective, but even if she succeeded in creating a wound on the opponent's body, it would heal instantly, making it seem as if she was doing nothing.

"Is it the power of the Holy Grail? How despicable...!"

Ishtar finally reacted, and gritted her teeth with some regret:

"If I had known this earlier, I would have asked Gilgamesh to give me the Holy Grail in his hand!"

"You actually guessed that the Holy Grail was in my hand? Your observation skills are good, but——"

Gorgon's tone gradually changed from teasing to impatience, and he said coldly:

"I've had enough of you annoying fly!"

"ha--!?"

Ishtar raised her eyebrows angrily and responded rudely:

"Rather than me being a fly, you, the fake one, look more like a giant moth, right?!"

“…You’ve been calling me a fake since a while ago. Don’t you know the basic etiquette to treat the goddess of creation, Tiamat—?!”

"Just you——!"

Before Ishtar could refute, she suddenly saw Gorgon's eyes locked on her, his eyes emitting a devilish purple light, and the next moment, her body almost instantly froze in place.

Oops!

The moment she was hit, Ishtar understood that it was the opponent's signature skill.

Petrifying Demon Eye!

For her, a servant of God, the power of the Petrifying Mystic Eyes was not enough to actually turn her into stone, but the stiffness effect was unavoidable.

And this was enough for the Gorgon.

The next moment, the Gorgon's snake-like hair suddenly attacked, bit her tightly with its bloody mouth, and then slammed her to the ground!

"Bam—!"

The enormous force directly smashed a deep pit in the ground. Ishtar mobilized her magic power as much as possible to protect this fragile human body, but under this horrible impact, she still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!

The situation is not good.

Paying attention to the situations on both sides at the same time, Merlin's brows became increasingly furrowed.

As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as he is not hit by the petrifying eyes of the Gorgon, it will be easy for him to escape, but as Kingu said, Ishtar and Ushiwakamaru will probably die here.

Is there any way to take both of them away, or at least take one of them away...

"...Wait, that's...?"

At this moment, Merlin suddenly noticed the movement in the sky. He looked up and saw a familiar girl falling from the sky and landing in front of Gorgon.

He was suddenly surprised and said:

“Hey, Gudako!?”

"But why...?"

She didn't say she wouldn't--

Merlin was halfway through his thought when he suddenly realized what was going on, revealing a helpless expression that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He originally thought that when the other party said "I won't help", they meant that they would just be a bystander in the entire operation.

Now he finally understood that when the other party said "I won't help", it seemed that he only meant that he would not help the Chaldean group.

Now that Gudafu and the others have successfully escaped, her actions certainly cannot be considered as helping Gudafu and the others.

"This is really..."

On the other side, Jin Gu also noticed Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure and frowned slightly.

"It's that guy."

He still vividly remembered the scene when the enemy brought down a thunderstorm disaster that day, forcing him to order the monsters to cancel their attack. In his mind, the enemy was a somewhat troublesome enemy.

——In that case, let’s just kill her right here!

He just thought of this, but before he could take any action, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with Gorgon's situation -

Fujimaru Ritsuka descended silently. Due to the breath-masking effect of her cloak, although Merlin and Kingo had seen her in the distance, they did not notice her presence until she got close to the back of the Gorgon.

However, before Gorgon could make any move, she smiled and pressed down the thing she had prepared in her hand.

Then, a clear questioning voice of a girl was heard.

"——Medusa, what are you doing?"

"?!!!!!!"

Gorgon's body froze in an instant, and he stammered involuntarily as he explained:

"No, I I I didn't..."
