Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

The terrifying scene of the Thunder Prison did not last too long. The continuous lightning like a storm gradually subsided, and the rain stopped immediately, returning to calm completely.

Although the whole process lasted only a dozen seconds, for the soldiers standing on the city wall and taking in everything in front of them, the time was as long as a century.

"..."

Although the attack was over, the shocking scene still echoed in their minds and could not be calmed for a long time. The entire battle line fell into a moment of silence.

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka waved his hand again, and the dense dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing a clear night sky with stars and a beautiful moon hanging high in the sky.

In the distance, a faint white light gradually appeared on the unreachable skyline, indicating that dawn was coming.

"King Leonidas,"

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, looking at Leonidas I and said:

"What should we do next?"

"Hmm..."

After hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, the few people came back to their senses and looked at the battlefield again.

In the previous attack, the attacking monsters had been completely annihilated, and the charred monster bodies that were burned by fire were lying across the wilderness, which made people feel shocked.

However, based on past experience, this was only the first wave of the enemy's attack. There will be a second wave, a third wave... There will be a continuous and countless number of monsters, which will completely turn the battlefield into a purgatory on earth.

Leonidas I looked further away, at the enemy's rear beyond Fujimaru Ritsuka's attack range, and the scene that came into his eyes made him startled again.

"What is this...?"

In the past, driven by the goddess of monsters, the monsters were like killing machines that had forgotten death and fear, regardless of the death of countless companions in front of them, and only knew to charge and slaughter blindly.

This crazy situation made them more difficult than usual, and they had to pay a heavy price to win the victory.

But now, the crazy monsters stopped at the edge of Fujimaru Ritsuka's attack, pacing back and forth uneasily, restless and hesitant, as if they dared not step into it.

Seeing this, Ushiwakamaru was surprised:

"Are those monsters afraid?"

Musashibo Benkei had some emotion in his eyes, and he smiled and agreed:

"Survival is the instinct rooted in the soul of all creatures. I think even the goddess of monsters can't completely wipe out the nature of so many monsters in one breath."

"Maybe the scene just now was too shocking, and it re-stimulated their suppressed nature?"

"If you put it that way, it is indeed the case."

Ushiwakamaru nodded in agreement, and then cast his eyes on Fujimaru Ritsuka, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Not only the monsters, but the purgatory-like scene just now even shocked me, and the hair on my body couldn't help but stand up."

"I didn't expect Miss Gudako to have such a powerful ability!"

"Well..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

In fact, after this real full-strength display of her ability, she quickly realized the limitations.

Although the thunder and lightning scene looks magnificent and terrifying, in fact, the power does not seem that strong. It is difficult to cause substantial damage to the first-class strongmen. It is more like a range ability to clear monsters.

Of course, the power she mentioned is placed in the environment of the current God Age, and the conclusion drawn by horizontal comparison with other strongmen of this era, that is, compared with Gilgamesh, Kingu, and Ishtar.

...It seems that her requirements are too high.

After all, if it is placed in the Conan world, it can only be said to be invincible.

Let's get back to the topic.

Looking at the somewhat timid group of monsters and the light gradually rising in the sky, Leonidas I couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth under his helmet and said loudly:

"A monster with a fearful heart is no different from an ordinary beast, not to mention that the sky is about to dawn, and the enemy's plan has completely failed!"

"But no matter what, we must remain vigilant and not take it lightly!"

"Victory will definitely belong to us!"

"Yes--!!!" ×n

The surrounding soldiers raised their weapons and responded loudly, with confidence and fighting spirit on their faces.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's attack just now not only severely damaged the momentum of the monster group, but also greatly encouraged the soldiers of Uruk.

Seeing this, Leonidas I showed a look of satisfaction.

He had a hunch that this might be the easiest defensive battle they had ever experienced.

But this time, Leonidas I's hunch was wrong.

As the first rays of sunlight bloomed from the horizon in the morning, the surging monsters slowly retreated in front of everyone's stunned eyes until they completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

"The monsters... retreated?"

Ushiwakamaru looked at this scene in disbelief, wondering if there was something wrong with her eyes.

So, she quickly jumped to the top of the divine seal, locked onto the distant scene, and after repeatedly confirming that the monsters really retreated and disbanded, she still said in disbelief:

"Did we win just like that?"

"..."

Hearing this, Leonidas I and Musashibo Benkei looked at each other.

They had never seen such a situation before, and they didn't know how to react for a while.

But soon, they thought of something, and finally turned their eyes to Fujimaru Ritsuka, with different expressions, but the emotions contained in them were very complicated.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "?"

——

"It was obviously a perfect plan, but it ended up in such an embarrassing situation..."

"Tsk, it's really embarrassing."

Jin Gu stopped in the air, looking down at the scattered monsters under his feet, with undisguised contempt and disgust on his face.

"After all, they are just beasts without wisdom, not even as good as the old humans."

He gave the order to retreat, because the situation in front of him was clear to everyone with eyes. Even if the monsters launched a charge again, it would only be a waste of resources.

Of course, more importantly-

He no longer paid attention to the monsters under his feet, raised his head and looked across the wilderness dozens of kilometers away, and finally fell on Fujimaru Ritsuka on the top platform of the monster battle line wall.

He saw every move of the other party just now, and he also knew that the other party was the key figure that caused his entire plan to fail.

"That guy..."

He still clearly remembered that the other party helped Chaldea and his group to expose his lies, and seemed to know Enkidu very well, and was suspected to be a servant living in this era.

However, from the ability released by the other party just now, he finally got a glimpse of a clue.

The ability displayed by the other party was more like the power of some kind of god than a powerful magic!

"... Goddess?"

Jin Gu's cold tone was full of doubts. According to the information he found in Enkidu's memory, there was indeed a god who controlled thunder and rain among the gods, named Adad.

However, the other party was Ishtar's brother, and should be a male god.

But he remembered that the guy was clearly a girl...

"... Forget it."

Jin Gu no longer entangled with this issue, he just needed to understand one thing.

"This guy is also a big obstacle."
