Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

Merlin smiled and waved at her, then his eyes fell on Antares in the distance.

"Is this the best you can do, Antares?"

"Is this the ancient monster?"

Merlin's eyes flashed with doubt.

Yes, this ancient monster is indeed strong, but not as strong as he imagined.

Judging from the situation, we might not even be able to use that trump card.

And until now, he has not witnessed the so-called power to kill gods.

"Um……"

"Could it be that the so-called God-killing monster is actually just... bragging?"

Merlin couldn't help but think so.

And at this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded in his ears.

"Merlin, your weapon is so powerful. Could it be the same weapon that defeated that bastard Apollo's men in the war game before?"

Hestia ran over quickly, her eyes filled with excitement.

After hearing this, Merlin smiled slightly, "Tiya, it's not over yet, you still..."

Just as he was halfway through his words, a magical perception suddenly appeared on the lenses of Merlin's magic glasses.

And the location of magic perception is at the feet of Artemis in front.

That is, underground.

Merlin didn't hesitate at all. He pulled out the lightning gun from his waist with his left hand and fired directly at the position under Artemis' feet.

"Pfft."

When the crackling sound of thunder and lightning rang out, the lightning beam had already hit the ground under Artemis' feet.

Lightning flashed, and at this time Artemis also reacted. She took two steps back and raised the sword in her hand to point at the place where she was originally standing.

At that place, the ground cracked, and a scorpion's tail with a hole in it twitched constantly.

What made her heart palpitate was that the tip of the tail was slightly open, like a mouth.

Artemis could imagine that if Merlin had not taken action just now, she might have been attacked by the scorpion's tail.

No, it was swallowed.

At the same time, Merlin, who had just resolved Artemis's crisis, had not yet breathed a sigh of relief when another magical perception appeared on his lens.

What surprised him was that this time the magical perception actually appeared on Hestia who was sitting opposite him.

"Tiya, don't move!"

Merlin shouted hurriedly and raised the lightning spear in his hand towards Hestia.

And the moment Hestia heard Merlin's cry, she stood still without any hesitation.

The next moment, a beam of lightning pierced through the ground in front of Hestia.

Similarly, under the ground, a scorpion's tail, which looked like a mouth, was twitching.

At this moment, Merlin realized it completely.

Antares's two attacks were directed at the gods.

Furthermore, the tip of the tail, which resembles a mouth, is most likely used to devour gods.

However, since he cannot devour the gods, then Antares' power may not be able to be exerted.

After all, the only, oh no, only two goddesses at the scene were rescued by him.

Huh? Wait, goddess?

Now it seems that there is... a god, but, not a goddess, but... a male god!

Merlin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked towards Hermes on the steps behind him.

As if noticing Merlin's gaze, Hermes grinned and waved at him from a distance.

"Ah, Merlin-kun, you are really powerful..."

However, before Hermes could finish his words, the ground beneath his feet bulged, and a bloody mouth appeared under his feet.

"Eh?"

Hermes' face turned pale, and his eyes showed intense fear and panic.

"No……"!

"Merlin-kun—help... me!"

Chapter 177 Devouring Gods, the Situation Changes

"Gulu."

Along with it, there was a sound like food being swallowed.

Hermes was swallowed by the scorpion's tail that looked like a mouth, and then disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

The next moment, everyone realized something and turned to look at Antares behind them.

In everyone's sight, Antares was now shrouded in an ominous red light.

"Roar!"

A huge roar echoed in the air.

The roar even turned into tangible sound waves, spreading in all directions.

The girls from the Artemis group, who were not far away, were directly blown away by the sound waves.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts."

Letsa bumped into the wall and ignored the pain in her back. She quickly looked up ahead.

What on earth happened? Why did that Antares suddenly burst out with such terrifying power?

The next moment, she saw an ominous red magic power entwined around Antares. The terrifying magic power almost became substantial and permeated the air.

Moreover, a layer of blood-red armor was attached to Antares' body, and the sense of oppression suddenly increased significantly.

Naturally, other people also saw this situation.

"This...Antares...devoured...Hermes?"

Artemis's expression changed drastically, her pretty face filled with panic.

"Merlin, what the hell happened? Hermes was eaten?"

Hestia immediately jumped to Merlin's side, hugged Merlin's arm tightly, and looked at Antares not far away with a panicked look on her face.

Merlin didn't say anything, but looked up and looked straight at Antares where something strange was happening in the distance.

In his sight, Antares's magic power was soaring at an alarming rate.

In just a moment, that terrifying magic value surpassed that of Livilia, who had the highest magic value he had seen before.

You know, Livilia is the strongest magician in Orario, a LV6 strongman.

However, the magic power in Antares' body has already far exceeded that of Livilia.

This is the power of God.

“Roar~”

Another roar sounded, and Antares' body grew a lot larger, with his mouth cracking open, revealing what was inside.

There, a crystal clear crystal was revealed, and inside the crystal, a familiar figure was trapped.

That was Hermes who was swallowed not long ago.

At this time, everyone could even clearly see the shock and panic on Hermes' face.

"Yeah, it really is... Hermes!"

Hestia couldn't help but shudder, her little face full of panic.

"Merlin, what should we do? Hermes, Hermes was eaten."

At this time, Artemis and her team members also retreated.

"Orion, what should we do now?"

"That Antares seems to have gotten even stronger!"

Artemis bit her lip, a serious look in her eyes.

What Letesha could feel, she could also feel.

She even felt things that Letesha couldn't feel.

"And... come on, be careful, this guy seems to be able to use the power of Hermes!"

Artemis's reminder was not without reason.

Antares, who had never used a single bit of fire magic until just now, now had a fire cloud formed by magic power floating above his head.

"Artemis, I'm leaving Tiaya in your care."

Merlin pushed Hestia in his arms to Artemis and said in a deep voice.

"Eh? Orion?"

"What...are you going to do?"

Artemis was shocked and looked at Merlin in panic.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to look after you in the upcoming battle."

"So, you guys get out of this place first."

Merlin waved his hand and answered truthfully.

Judging from the magical fluctuations emitted by Antares, he realized that the situation was a little tricky.

"But..." Artemis bit her lip lightly, looking unwilling. When she was about to say something, Letesa came over from behind.

"Lady Artemis, we should retreat. Staying here will only cause trouble for Merlin."

Letesha stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Her dusty face showed a hint of reluctance and helplessness.

Because she knew very well that what Merlin said was true.

Just as Letesa finished her words, Antares in the back gathered magic power in his huge eyes.

The next moment, a large number of fireballs were fired from the fire clouds floating above Antares' head.

"Bang bang bang."

Countless fireballs the size of human heads fell directly over the square like raindrops.

The entire ruins of Essos were shaking.

The powerful force of the explosion naturally affected the place where Merlin and others were.

Smoke and dust billowed, and after the smoke cleared.

Artemis and the others looked up and found a figure standing in front of them, absorbing the explosive force of all the fireballs for them.

That person was Merlin.

At this time, Merlin had an extra shield in his hand.

".Artemis, go!"

Merlin turned around, glanced at Artemis anxiously, and reminded her.

"I see!"

Artemis pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.

"Orion, please don't force it."
