[Comprehensive] Enkidu

【kill me! 】

In the silent night, Enkidu suddenly opened his eyes.

What came from the ear was the steady and quiet breathing of the big tengu, as if everything in the dream was just a virtual illusion, and the world was stable.

But the hoarse voice of the sad serpent still echoed in Enkidu's mind, so that his thoughts were confused, and he couldn't distinguish between reality and fiction.

Enkidu's eyes are no longer innocent and immature like a child's, but full of rational wisdom. The rules of this world are constantly reducing their effect on him, and the restrictions have begun to stop.

Gently lifting the quilt, the young boy walked to the half-open window. Under the moonlight, his young body was much taller than before, and his eyes were sharper.

"Are you guys calling me?"

He murmured tenderly and sadly, and took a last look at the big tengu in the room, and in an instant, there was no trace of Enkidu in the room.

Even at night, Genji's guards were unrelenting. The heavily guarded onmyoji patrolled back and forth, but they didn't see an agile shadow in the night sky constantly flying towards the forbidden area.

By the time he touched the traces of the barrier, Enkidu's appearance had completely deviated from that of a cub, only slightly younger than that of a boy.

His power has also returned to its heyday. Even without the support of the master's magic power, the magic power flowing in the veins still continuously provides power for Enkidu, which is a proof of the world's recognition.

No need to use any power, the enchantment that contains the Genji family's painstaking efforts for hundreds of years, under the powerful mysterious effect, Enkidu just pointed with his finger, and the huge enchantment dissipated into fragments one after another.

The originally peaceful scene immediately showed the appearance of the forbidden area, and the miasma contained in it leaked uncontrollably one after another. If it spread out, the entire human beings in Kyoto might die from the miasma.

But for Enkidu, it was just a little trouble, but in order to solve the miasma poison, he lowered his eyes and chanted in Uruk.

"Goddess of the underworld, please borrow some of my strength."

Followed by the flames from the River Styx, all the miasma was burning, and the flames lingered around Enkidu like a butterfly, as if cheering for a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, Enkidu's cold face finally smiled , said to the little flame that jumped onto his fingertips.

"Say hello to your goddess for me."

Perhaps because he was afraid of the flame from the underworld, the imaginary evil god did not appear, and Enkidu's current goal had nothing to do with him. He followed the dream and quickly found the direction of the altar, but there was no trace of the witch snake.

On the altar, a phantom of a young girl is standing.

The reason why it is called a phantom is because her existence is too weak, the color of the clothes can hardly be seen through the transparent body, and even the bright eyebrows and eyes are so dim.

Enkidu subconsciously jumped up, even if he couldn't tell her face, he could guess that her face should be exactly the same as that of the witch who died tragically in the dream.

"You came?"

Although she used a questioning tone, the girl's voice was always full of joy, she really felt extremely happy, even if it was only a short period of freedom, every piece of her body felt tears filled her eyes, even if she died immediately, she would have no complaints no regrets.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"You don't have to be so sad. We have fallen to this point because we have trusted others."

Therefore, the shrine maidens after death kept resenting, resenting Yamata no Orochi who played with their lives, resenting Genji who deceived them into thinking that they could guard the peace of Kyoto, and even resenting the country they were willing to sacrifice their lives for.The grievances are hard to settle, and in the end, he can't maintain the appearance of a human being, and turns into the form of a monster, killing his soul in a daze.

"Because of you, we became calm, so we don't have to feel sad for us. We are all very happy to be out of the control of the Witch Snake."

"us?"

Enkidu finally realized something, he didn't see any other witches appearing again, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, he looked straight at the smiling witch, even though the fragility of the soul made her appearance blurred, he knew she must be With a strong smile.

"Although I have regained my human form, I am just a combination of the consciousness of the witches. Their scattered souls are too broken to gather together again."

Only the soul fragments of all witches can form this soul body that can be blown away. She has their eyebrows, their lips and teeth, and their emotions.

This is enough, even if it just dissipates between heaven and earth, it is not used by evil gods to be contaminated with sins, even if the dead zone is still clean, and it does not bear the responsibility of the witch.

Seeing Enkidu's sad expression, the witch stretched out her hand, her soul body touched the young Shuli's face, and penetrated it again, but she was already satisfied.

"Don't cry, your tears are too heavy, you should be happy, we are about to ascend to heaven, I just want to see you again and thank you."

"Then, leave that evil god to me."

When mentioning Yamata no Orochi, Miko's soul trembled slightly. The fear before death dominated her heart, and at the same time mixed with imperceptible joy. She believed in the boy's strength, believed that he could end the next tragedy, and let Miko's sacrifice Let's stop here, and let the sinful family of Genji taste the pain of backlash.

"It's a pity that we can't see it anymore, we are about to dissipate. If there is a next reincarnation, it doesn't matter if we become flowers or birds, let us wander around freely, and we don't have to be suppressed by responsibilities anymore, even if it is just a touch. For the fleeting aurora, we have no regrets."

But she knew that there would be no afterlife, broken souls could not withstand the power of reincarnation, they would turn into stars, fall into the soil, and then disappear completely.

I'm really envious of that shrine maiden named Kagura who escaped.At least she can still run in the sun to her heart's content, subduing demons like they used to, and they are just the last ashes under the candlelight.

The witch smiled brightly, and her body was emitting undulating light, which was a symbol of the fragments of the soul who couldn't help but want to escape. They could turn into a sea of ​​stars in the end, and the fear of complete death was not so obvious.

"and many more!"

Enkidu took her hand.

It was real skin-to-skin contact, and the witch who should have disappeared safely was also surprised and speechless. She felt the power of the underworld, which was heavier and older than the breath of the underworld.

It comes from the promise made by the goddess in charge of the underworld to the clay figurines. Even if the age of gods disappears, even if the myth of Ereshkigal has long lost its color, and no one knows her name anymore, she will provide her power to Enkidu. He is free from the pain of death.

"Ereshkigal."

Through time and space, the blond goddess in the underworld heard such a call.

ah ah ah...

How long has it been since he heard his voice, 100 years, 1000 years, or 1 years?The passage of time made Ereshkigal lose her way, and the flowers in her hands had long lost their fragrance, but she still held them tightly, as if she was still looking forward to someone's coming again.

"Open the gate of the underworld here for me."

[Really, do you only think of me when you need it? 】

The complaint from the bottom of my heart was not uttered, and the goddess' actions were still very honest. The continuous power of the underworld gathered at Enkidu's feet, and a gate leading to the underworld gradually revealed its form.

"Thank you, Ereshkigal."

【Stupid, do I need your thanks? 】

The Goddess' voice was quite frustrating, and she recalled that the teenagers in the Underworld most often spoke to her words that annoyed her, but she was undoubtedly happy to know that Enkidu was still living in a certain corner of the world, The goddess couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was sincerely happy for the boy.

It's a pity that the distance between time and space is long and cold, and even the gods can't do anything about it. Seeing that the connection between the two is about to break, the goddess was silent for a moment, and sighed in a low voice.

[If you find that idiot, beat him up for me, who made him always offend me and speak ill of me.And... take care of yourself, Enkidu. 】

Then all the voices fell silent, and there was no Ereshkigal's voice in Enkidu's ears, and the dull sadness appeared in his eyes for a short time. He knew that time was running out, and Ereshkigal had been disconnected. The supply of power from the underworld, this door will not last long.

"Hurry up and go in, you will find a new starting point, and a happy future is waiting for you."

He was so determined and gentle, as if he was so sure that she would not disappear and find a new future, the witch should have laughed happily, but she smiled, tears filled her face.

Although she looked in the direction of Enkidu, her blurred vision could no longer see his face clearly, the witch could only keep opening her eyes, staring at the boy's dazzling and gentle figure seriously, even if she entered reincarnation, she couldn't forget his face. look.

"It would be great if I could meet you sooner, if I could be saved by you sooner, I am very happy, I am really very happy, I don't know if I will meet you in the next life? You must remind me when the time comes Me, I will definitely remember everything about you."

All the soul fragments are thrown into the embrace of Huangquan like meteors one after another. They will turn into flowers of Huangquan, absorb the nutrients of the underworld to thrive, and then become new souls to start a new journey.

Accompanied by the creaking sound, after the last rays of light were cast into the gate of the underworld, the gate closed and disappeared in the dark soil.

Communicating with Ereshkigal caused Enki to consume a lot of magic power. At this moment, his face was pale. Fortunately, the earth's leylines provided a steady stream of supply, and Enki didn't feel much discomfort.

The most important thing now is not to fix yourself, but to find out the culprit.
