I'm really not an old sword

Kama was indeed the slowest to react among the three people attacked.

Lin Qingsu's sword was about to hit her when she seemed to realize that Lin Qingsu wanted to kill her, so she took countermeasures and even took a blow from Lin Qingsu in a hurry.

But here's the thing.

Kama was also the one who was least injured.

in contrast.

Lin Qingsu had been entangled with Vritra who rushed over for a while before Artoria came out from the ruins. The armor on her body was also damaged in the battle, and it was obvious that she was seriously injured.

But he was already entangled by Vritra and Kama, and had no way to kill Artoria by force.

"We can't stay on the surface anymore."

Ereshkigal cannot leave the underworld.

The matter of Ishtar remains unresolved.

Not to mention Meli, Maeve and Nitocris cannot be considered as direct combat forces in the current situation where goddesses appear in large numbers, and have no impression of the battle situation.

Even though Gorgon understood the principle of "lips and teeth are cold", Jingu was a traitor who was eager to see Gorgon killed.

Stay on the surface.

The only people who can be considered as fighting forces on his side at the moment are himself and the Gorgon.

"withdraw."

Lin Qingsu poured magic power into the sword.

A brilliant new light streaked across his body in the shape of an "I", forcing back Artoria and Vritra who were approaching him.

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Qingsu turned around and rushed into the city.

"Want to leave?!"

Jiamo was about to hate Lin Qingsu to death.

Her original plan was to just laze around and muddle through the day. Even if Fu Lin Qingsu showed up, she would just stand by the edge of the battlefield to show her the truth.

Who knew that this guy would come up and hit her directly with his treasure.

Although she reacted in time and didn't get hurt too badly, Kama was hit hard in her haste, and the pain made her almost cry.

This is not over yet.

This guy was even more aggressive. He chose to hit her instead of the other two women.

He stabbed her in the chest.

If she hadn't reacted in time, the knife would have split her chest in half, and now it left a deep bloody mark on her chest.

very painful!

These two times.

This completely destroyed Kama's plan to just sit on the edge of the battlefield.

He regards Lin Qingsu as his enemy second only to Parvati and Shiva.

He is a thousand times more annoying than that sparkling guy Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Lin Qingsu must die!

Seeing Lin Qingsu turning around and trying to run, Jiamo could no longer bear it. He raised his hand angrily, drew his bow and drew his arrow.

"Hold him for me!"

"Because of love, I am anxious."

Magic power flowed from all directions with her as the center as if it were free.

If in heaven.

You can see that a huge magic vortex that almost occupies the entire field of vision and is tens of kilometers in radius is slowly forming.

The monsters and evil dragons belonging to Gorgon and Vritra respectively.

Regardless of whether they were fighting with each other and had their limbs broken, or were staring at the enemy with eager eyes, at this moment, they all crawled on the ground facing Kama almost at the same time as if they had rehearsed countless times, their pupils filled with madness and bestiality, fear brimming in their eyes, their bodies trembling like sieves, and wagging their tails to beg for mercy.

Lin Qingsu, who had already run to the edge of the battlefield, could not see these.

But he was shouting at Kama.

A black hair suddenly popped up on the fluffy black hair.

Lin Qingsu couldn't complain for a moment that the template fusion actually fused the ahoge first.

A strong sense of crisis arose in my heart.

This was a sense of crisis that Lin Qingsu had never felt since she was with Tamamonomae, not even when she was assassinated by Wang Hassan.

He won't die, but something serious will definitely happen after taking that blow.

escape!

Must escape quickly!

Lin Qingsu almost subconsciously swung the holy sword to create a big hole in the ground.

Directly into the underworld.

Although Ereshkigal's underworld is not included in the entire underground of Mesopotamia due to the peculiarities of this singularity, due to his relationship with Ereshkigal, Ereshkigal can extradite him to the underworld by simply digging a hole in the ground.

As long as you enter the underworld.

Even if the goddess, who had the potential to be a "Beast," attacked with all her might in anger, he was confident that he could dodge the blow.

But the next second Lin Qingsu erased this thought.

He saw Maeve in front of him, in the center of the city.

His mind raced, and after sensing the charged attack from the Goddess of Love that would not be fatal, Lin Qingsu gritted her teeth and rushed towards Maeve.

Although he treated Maeve as a complete tool.

Don't talk about his woman.

Not to mention the loyal Sun Knight Gawain and the cheap kid Mordred.

Because of their incompatibility in personality, Galahad and Percival did not get along well with him on a daily basis.

but!

After all, she is his subordinate.

these days.

She has always been dedicated and although she has some small thoughts, she has never done anything to betray him.

The performance can be said to be completely loyal.

No matter whether the other party's loyalty is "romantic" or "admiration for the strong", and no matter whether she will turn around and betray him if a man who is stronger than him and more to her liking appears.

But now, when she hasn't betrayed him, Lin Qingsu will never abandon her!

You must never abandon your subordinates.

Not to mention that this would discourage other people, even Lin Qingsu himself would never do such a thing. He was cruel to his enemies just to better protect his own people.

Why are they selling out their own people now that they are in danger?

In short.

In an instant, he thought that although Kama's attack gave him a strong bad premonition and a sense of crisis, it would not be fatal.

And he has the goddess of the underworld on his side. As long as the goddess of the underworld is not dead, even if he dies, he can be resurrected at any time with Ereshkigal's means and Meli's cooperation.

There are also some showy intentions to win people's hearts.

After hesitating for a few tenths of a second, Lin Qingsu gave up the idea of escaping alone and rushed towards Maeve.

As for Maeve herself.

The moment Kama attacked Lin Qingsu with all his strength in anger, she felt the enormous magic power that was far beyond her imagination.

Looking at the center of the battlefield.

The goddess of love was like a god descending to earth, fully displaying the demeanor of a god.

There was a hint of horror in Maeve's beautiful eyes.

It's more of a deep jealousy.

Yes, jealousy.

The moment Kama attacked with all his strength, she knew she was going to die.

Lin Qingsu will not come to save her.

Maeve understood this instantly.

Not to mention that she is not Lin Qingsu's woman at all, even Maeve can feel that Lin Qingsu is actually avoiding her.

Maeve also understood why he had so many people but was unwilling to add her.

To put it nicely.

I just don't like her lifestyle.

To put it harshly.

I just look down on women like her.

Not only that.

Although the women she had come into contact with Lin Qingsu did not seem unusual on the surface, she could also sense that they were not very interested in her past lifestyle, and even...

Somewhat disgusted.

Maeve is aware of these points and knows that she will never succeed as long as she remains on her own.

It's just that Maeve just wanted to try.

Ever since she killed her father who pushed her into the fire pit and her husband who was in his fifties and tortured her three sisters to death, her life has been smooth sailing except for a few setbacks at the hands of Cu Chulainn.

Occasionally, I want to challenge myself.

This man is dozens of times stronger than the unruly Cu Chulainn and is even less likely to be difficult to tame.

all in all.

Would a man who has always looked down on her risk his life to save her when he is targeted by the goddess's angry full-strength attack?

Maeve is no longer an innocent little girl.

Accepting his own death

Maeve is not afraid of death.

Even though her intuition told her that if she was hit by Kama's attack, even if it was not a direct hit, even if she was in the center of the explosion, the Heroic Spirit Base in Valhalla might be damaged or even destroyed.

But Maeve felt no fear.

At most, there is just a little regret and a hint of relief.

"Why?"

Maeve looked at the one who was worshipped and revered as a god by thousands of monsters.

Looking at the peerless goddess who was shrouded in magic, radiant and beautiful, she even felt ashamed of herself and wanted to hurt herself.

Maeve was jealous.

If only she were as beautiful as she is, if only she were as strong as she is, if only she were as trance-like as she is, if only...

If she were her, how could she be disliked by him?

I'm afraid that if she reveals the slightest hint of interest, he will take the initiative to pounce on her feet and lick them obsessively, just like a wolf that has been hungry for several days seeing delicious meat.

pity.

Maeve smiled self-deprecatingly.

She is not her.

She was just a dissolute and vicious queen of a weak human kingdom who was only briefly in power.
