Radiant Enemy

Chapter 8 The Babylonian Front

Hilgner sat in the palace, looking at the porcelain bottle in his hand.

He played with the porcelain bottle, which was obviously filled with magic power, and drank it all without any doubt.

The strong magic power immediately filled Hilgna's body, which made his exhausted spirit recover a lot.

Hilgna sighed, he looked out the window at the setting sun that painted the earth orange, leaned back on the throne, and closed his eyes.

He is stuck in the past.

The body is like turning into a light cloud, gradually drifting to the depths.

I don't know whether to call it a dream or a memory here, and all the boundaries are blurred.

When the blank gradually receded, what Hilgna showed before him was the scene when he was just brought to Uruk.

When the prostitute of the temple wanted to take her away from her adoptive father, Hilgna originally refused.

Apart from feeling that it was too sudden, there was a voice in Hilgner's heart telling him that if he really went to Uruk with this prostitute, his life would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Hilgner also hesitated, but after serious thinking, he followed the prostitute and left the forest.

Not for himself, but for his adoptive parents.

As the adoptive parents of common people, they cannot compete with the gods and the people of the king's capital.

The goddess Ningsun who wanted to adopt him as an adopted son was beautiful and majestic, in line with the world's imagination of gods.

If she hadn't given Hilgna the hint order to 'protect Gilgamesh no matter what' or 'protect Uruk no matter what' when she first saw Hilgna, Hilgna might have treated her more. Have a good impression.

Originally speaking according to reason, he could not resist or break the hint of the goddess.

But it was very strange, in Hilgna's eyes, when the words with divine power came into contact with him, they turned into golden fragments, all of which were isolated from his body.

It was as if something was protecting him.

The Goddess didn't seem to think that the little human boy would have the ability to deflect her own hints, so she didn't realize that the human beings who looked away and looked away didn't actually follow the hints she gave.

After the arrogant and free-wheeling goddess gave the hint order, she stopped looking at Hilgna again. After her phantom disappeared from the temple, everything returned to calm.

Hilgner didn't resist, he lowered his head silently, as if he didn't notice it.

Although he didn't accept the order implied by Goddess Ningsun, he understood that the power of the gods was as arrogant and unreasonable as their characters.

Perhaps thanks to Goddess Ningsun, when Hilgna's body was subjected to a hint command, something buried deep in his soul was awakened—or it should be said to be activated.

Hilgna is not a resident of this world, he comes from another world, another world without emperors, gods, slaves, and status differences.

After remembering what kind of world he once lived in, the prosperity and prosperity of Uruk couldn't surprise Hilgna.

Food, entertainment, housing, class, all these differences are like a huge gully, deeply separating Hilgna from the world.

The reason why he still stays in Uruk is firstly to absorb more knowledge about this world, and secondly because he wants to use his status as an adopted son acquired by the goddess to make Uruk be as he remembered. Promising national development.

But even Gilgamesh, who has become a wise man again from a tyrant, still has a very different approach and viewpoint from Hilgna.

They once quarreled over the content of political law and fought until Enkidu had to make a move before separating them.

So when Hilgna knew that he was the blood of Kish, he followed the envoy and left Uruk without hesitation.

Staying in Uruk again, either Hilgna overthrew Gilgamesh, or Gilgamesh exhausted his patience with him and fell to the point where he could not die.

Of course Hilgna cares about Gilgamesh, among the few people in this world that Hilgna cares about, Gilgamesh is one of them.

But sometimes separation is the best option.

The dream began to change as Hilgna's body floated upwards.

This time, it was not Uruk that was presented before Hilgna's eyes, but another country.

Another, the hometown that Hilgna will never return to.

"Ah, good evening, Mr. Hilgna." The flower magician who leisurely appeared in Hilgna's dream faded away from the frivolity when facing others. Only at this time, Hilgna peeped from his face In the legend of later generations, he assisted King Arthur to lead the wizard style of Britain.

Calm, sensible, and detached indifference.

Hilgner didn't speak. Merlin once visited his dreamland. Although he was a bit unhappy when he saw his own memories, Hilgner didn't have any objections to Merlin himself.

Because at that time, Merlin said that sentence: "What a dazzlingly beautiful country, I really want to see it with my own eyes."

Just this sentence was enough for Hilgna to tolerate Merlin's rash appearance.

Although Merlin is a nightmare, the shallow dream is controlled by the owner of the dream, that is to say, this world is ruled by Hilgna.

Merlin took the wine glass that suddenly appeared beside him, lowered his head and sniffed it lightly for a while, and then sipped the clear and bright red wine.

"Well, it's really good wine." Merlin smiled at Hilgna.

"Hey, Hill-chan, do you think humans will win?" Merlin asked a natural but unexpected words.

"Of course you will win. You are here for a happy ending, right?" Silgner said calmly.

He answered Merlin's question with a rhetorical question.

"Haha, that's true." Merlin smiled when he was blocked, "I just want to see the picture scroll of human beings coming to a happy ending. If it really stops here, this story will be too boring."

"I think so too." Hilgna showed a smile very similar to Merlin's.

He doesn't think that human beings will disappear in this era, because there are still so many people who are struggling desperately for the future.

——And even if Hilgna gambled on this life, he would never let it be destroyed.

When Hilgner opened his eyes from his slightly dizzy sleep, Merlin had disappeared, and as usual, a steady stream of documents were delivered to his desk.

Hilgner moved his wrist and neck, and quickly returned to work.

Even if he didn't use the ability called 'clairvoyance' to see, Hilgna knew that the day of the decisive battle was coming soon.

Like a chick that has broken its shell, everything has come to a head.

But the truth is far more shocking than expected.

It turned out to be Tiamat, the mother of the land, who descended with the help of the body of the goddess Gorgon.

The slender body of the goddess Tiamat is stepping towards the continent covered with black mud, her long silver-green hair has huge horns growing around her, and she is surrounded by a mixture created based on the human body' Raheem', all human beings who are swallowed by the black mud will eventually become like this.

When Hilgna's silver boat landed in Uruk, Fujimaru Tachika and others had already stopped it once, but they still couldn't make this human evil of the "Returning Principle" - Goddess Tiamat stop devouring footsteps.

In the end, the eight soldiers who remained in Uruk were completely swallowed up, and Gilgamesh was the only one who was still standing on the wall of Uruk.

Once the Three Goddess Alliance turned against the human side, Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld in Uruk, Quetzal, the feathered snake god in South America, and Gorgon Medusa in Greece - also once followed 'Anna' next to Merlin.

However, even if the power of so many gods is gathered, it still cannot stop the pace of the destruction of the gods of Tiamat, because she has no concept of death, so no matter how powerful the attack is, it will not be able to harm her.

"Oops! Goddess Tiamat is about to attack again!!" Mash, who had put on the Heroic Spirit Dress, was already scarred, and even his arms were too tired to lift them up.

She wanted to call back for help, but she could only watch the dazzling light cannon, heading straight towards the wall of Uruk and fully controlling Gilgamesh who was attacking the fort.

But just when the light was about to hit Gilgamesh, Hilgna gritted his teeth. He had been injured in the previous aid, but at the same time, he also took the thorny beasts guarding him around Tiamat. Raheem took care of it.

Not only do these Laheems regenerate themselves very quickly, once they are bitten or dragged in by the black mud, that person will also become one of these treacherous and terrifying Laheems.

Ticking blood slid down Hilgna's wrist. Because of the excessive overdraft of magic power, Hilgna's face was as pale as snow on the top of a mountain, but his lips, stained red by the spilled blood, were as dazzling as flames. .

He swallowed the sweet blood back to his throat, and sneered: "Don't bully my brother in front of me!!"

Hilgna stood in front of Gilgamesh, manipulating the silver boat with full firepower, and confronted the light cannon attacking in this direction, the dazzling light instantly flooded everyone's sight, making them feel helpless. Do not close your eyes so as not to burn your eyeballs.

Huge roaring sounds can be heard endlessly, and in such a loud noise, everyone's vision and hearing are tyrannically taken away.

Gilgamesh's heart tightened, as if a hand had passed through his chest, pulling at his heart and making his breathing difficult.

The hand he subconsciously reached out to hold Hilgna was in vain, even though his roaring voice was completely submerged in the intense white light, all he got was nothingness.

On the opposite side was the human evil who had no concept of death. Of course, even such a fierce attack that involved everything in the dazzling white light only delayed Tiamat for a while.

But this short period of time is enough for human beings to start their last self-saving plan.

It can be said that Hilgna's attack has gained a glimmer of life for the survival of human civilization.

Ereshkigal and others dug a hole under Uruk that connected to Hades. From the moment Tiamat set foot on the land of Uruk, she and all the survivors Fall into this boundless abyss together.

Even though Tiamat was brought into Hades according to the original plan, Eleshenkigal didn't look easy.After all, it was Mother Earth who was dragged into Hades by her. Even with the power to bestow death, Tiamat would not be easily defeated.

But the process of defeating Tiamat went so smoothly that people wondered if it was a dream. When Tiamat's body gradually turned into dust and dissipated, everyone dared to know whether they really won.

"Did we really defeat that Tiamat..."

Fujimaru Tachika even pinched her own cheek to confirm if she was in a dream.

"Is this result... within his expectations?" Merlin seemed to have thought of something, and while sighing lightly, he also showed a helpless smile.

Gilgamesh's face turned cold, as if he realized something: "Where is Hilgna?!"

The king of Uruk turned his head and shouted at Ereshkigal, the master of the underworld, panic and anger flashed across that handsome face that one dare not look directly at.

"Ah? His soul must be in my gun cage too! Don't underestimate my ability as the goddess of the underworld!" Ereshkigal had just breathed out, and was suddenly a little uncomfortable when Gilgamesh ordered him like this. Happily pouted.

But she still began to search for Hilgna's soul in her Netherland: "But let me tell you first, I won't give it to you! All dead souls belong to others!"

"This king knows that there is an insurmountable barrier between the living and the dead. Even this king will eventually die."

Gilgamesh said calmly, his jewel-like eyes flashed coldly at this moment: "But this king now has another question to answer—have you found his soul?"

"Strange...Obviously I should have kept everything, but..." Ereshkigal hesitantly raised the gun cage in his hand.

——The gun cage that was supposed to store the soul was empty.

"Ha - that's true!" Gilgamesh was so angry that the roots of his docile blond hair stood on end, and the enraged look made Ishtar shrink back behind his sister.

"Who allowed you to do that kind of thing!! Hilgna!!" Gilgamesh's roaring voice ended with some inaudible sobs, and Ereshkigal also realized that Hetia God Maat was easier to deal with than expected, presumably Hilgna weakened Tiamat at the cost of his soul.

"Hey...Mr. Hilgna, could it be..." Fujimaru Tateka also guessed something from everyone's reaction, and he fell into silent sadness.

Although he didn't get along with Hilgna for long, when he knew that he might never see the king again, the sadness in his heart made Fujimaru Tateka's nose sore.

"Wait a minute, there is still a trace of the soul fire in my gun cage, so his soul should still exist! It's just that it may have fallen somewhere else—"

Halfway through Ereshkigal's words, he himself fell silent.

Tiamat comes from the world's sea of ​​cup noodles, where there is neither life nor death, no past and no future, so where can Hilgna, who stopped Tiamat with his soul, go?

+ + +

Fujimaru Tachika, who had returned to Chaldea from Uruk, reluctantly showed a reassuring smile to Da Vinci and Dr. Romani, and then found an excuse to go back to the room to rest.

Everything that happened in Uruk seems to be still vivid in my mind, Gilgamesh, Merlin, Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and the one who gave him the gem pendant so that he escaped from danger Facing God Tiamat's pressing step by step, Hilgna's sacrifice made this ordinary human boy's burden almost beyond his ability to bear.

"Woo..." A slight whimper escaped from the raised quilt, but the whimper quickly dissipated. The black-haired boy rubbed his red and swollen eyes, and went to the bathroom to wash his cheeks.

At this moment, Da Vinci sent a call message from the radio, asking Fujimaru Tatsuka to go to her workshop immediately.

"This is the new call sign?" Fujimaru Tatsuka looked at what Da Vinci took out, and his eyes widened slightly.

The sadness and sadness on his face finally receded a little.

"That's right~ so it's not too late, let's summon it~" Pushed to the front of the summoning room by Da Vinci, he winked at the black-haired boy.

"Maybe I can summon an acquaintance~"

Fujimaru Tachika was stunned, and then nodded gratefully to Da Vinci. He calmed down and recited the summoning spell word by word, and the magic power poured into the summoning array through his body.

Fujimaru Tachika could feel the response from the outer Heroic Seat from the summoning formation, he suppressed his beating heart, and shouted loudly: "Cross the wheel of inhibition and appear, guardian of the balance!"

The light filled the summoning room, Fujimaru Tateka raised his hand to cover the light, and tried his best to look towards the center of the summoning array.

"Caster Gilgamesh, in response to the crisis in Uruk, manifested in this posture."

"Saber Yaga, Kish's younger brother, is my brother here?"

It was the two acquaintances who had karma in Uruk who were called out.

Fujimaru Tatsuka's original smile froze on his face, because the number of call symbols he used was obviously three.

In other words, another king who was supposed to appear in the world did not appear.

Could it be that Hilgna really doesn't even have a soul anymore?Did it really disappear with Tiamat?

Thinking of this, Fujimaru Tatsuka's heart ached.

"Don't make such a sad face, miscellaneous cultivator!" Gilgamesh shouted.

"Hilgner will never be a man who just died like this. When I was summoned just now, I noticed his aura, but it was too far away and weak. Since you can summon me and that useless and clingy guy , When you become stronger, you will definitely be able to summon him! As the master of this king, you can't be so useless!"

Fujimaru Tateka cheered up at Gilgamesh's words, and nodded vigorously: "King who understands! I will definitely become stronger and summon Hilgna from the sea of ​​nothingness!"

In another distant era, Ulster, Ireland, was separated from Great Britain by the sea.

Amid the howling wind and snow, a baby with white fetal hair opened its blue eyes in the arms of its mother.
