"This… this magic power! How many demon beasts are there!"
Sensing a large amount of magic power rapidly emerging in the Persian Gulf, Ishtar's voice couldn't help but tremble.
The magic power emitted by each Demon Beast's magic power was not extraordinary, what surprised Ishtar was the number of Demon Beasts emitting magic power.
Ants are not terrible, but if the number of ants is large, they can kill an elephant.
But let alone killing an elephant, if the number of ants is sufficient, the number of ants can drown an elephant.
The astonishing magic power that emerged from the Persian Gulf was formed by the accumulation of a large number of Demon Beasts.
Due to the large number of Demon Beasts emitting magic, the sea level of the Persian Gulf even became slightly turbulent, like a coast about to be hit by a storm.
The people at the Persian Gulf Observatory also found chaos in the Persian Gulf, and they all went to the shore to check the situation.
But they saw a figure emerge from the Persian Gulf.
"Are there humans in the sea?!" Judging from her figure, she seemed to be a woman.
The people who saw this scene were shocked, thought someone had fallen into the water, and immediately prepared to save the person who had fallen into the water.
But before anyone could act, one figure after another emerged from the water one after another, and oddly enough, all of these figures looked the same.
This strange scene left the people standing on the beach speechless, as if one could not react.
"No, no!! That Demon Beast Kururu!?"
Dunno who suddenly said something, and everyone went from unresponsive silence to panic.
Everyone looked at it again, and the figures in the water were those who fell into the water. They were clearly ugly Demon Beasts whose lower body was that of a fish and the upper part of that of a human.
After all, even if there is only one Demon Beast, it is extremely lethal to non-combatants like them, not to mention that there are more than one here.
"Don't panic, I remember King Gilgamesh saying that this Demon Beast named Kururu can only move in water, and there is no instance for going on land."
Not many mass-produced Demon Beasts, Kururu, entered the Persian Gulf via the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. After a few days of being purged by Gilgamesh, these Demon Beasts basically disappeared in the Persian Gulf.
Although there might be some survivors by luck, the people here never saw them again.
They had never found it before, but once they found it, there were too many Demon Beasts, which was not a good thing.
However the Demon Beasts encountered were fortunately Kururu, and they could not go ashore, otherwise they would be in danger.
Thinking of this, the surrounding people gradually calmed down, and they dared to observe the large number of Kururu in the water.
Some of them have little contact with Demon Beasts, and some have no contact at all, and humans are curious about the unknown, so this leads to the next scene.
"Even though this Demon Beast looks like a human, it is still a bit ugly."
"And it still looks like a woman, but it's really unattractive."
"That means other Demon Beasts are animal-like creatures, why does this Kururu look so strange."
"Maybe because they can only live in water."
It didn't matter whether that person was brave or fearless, In short because these people weren't threatened by "life-threatening", they all started judging Kururu.
These human behaviors were seen by Ishtar who was flying in the sky, and they were evaluated by her as such.
"These idiots."
It was normal for humans not to know about Demon Beasts, but as a member of the gods, Ishtar had a good understanding of Demon Beasts.
Although Ishtar had never seen such a Demon Beast, she could tell from past rumors that this Demon Beast that seemed to only live in water was not only capable of living in water.
After all, their alias was – the winged mermaid.
As the name suggests, they have wings.
"Pfft——"
As if something had pierced through the body, a pair of fleshy wings sprouted from Kururu's back.
Immediately after, the flesh fin on Kururu's back slowly flapped, carrying Kururu into the air, and the fish tail of her lower body was still flapping involuntarily, as if a little uncomfortable.
Immediately after that, a "puchi" sound came from behind one after another Kururu, and a pair of fleshy wings emerged from the backs of a large number of Kururu, piloted countless Kururu, and flew into the sky together.
Demon Beast Kururu also known as the winged mermaid, flew into the sky with a dull expression from the humans nearby.
"It's over... it's over..."
Dunno who said something else, and an atmosphere of despair spread through the crowd.
Facing the Demon Beast Kururu that could leave the water and fly into the air, there was only one fate for these non-combatants, and that was death.
Some people even sat on the ground, as if giving up completely, quietly waiting for death to come.
At this moment, a word like the cry of the Goddess of Victory entered everyone's ears.
"An Gal Tā Kigal Shē!!"
The ray of light comparable to Venus directly hit the Kururu group that was launched into the sky, and the explosion occurred suddenly.
*boom----!!*
The light covered everyone's eyes, and in the next second, everyone screamed in panic.
"Wuaaahhh—"
People were thrown off the ground by the explosion from the explosion and looked in disarray.
Fortunately no lives were in danger.
The wind and waves soon subsided, and when people looked up to check the situation, they found the goddess Venus.
"Goddess Ishtar!"
"This is the goddess Ishtar!"
"It turns out to be Goddess Ishtar, the goddess who often scavenges for my family's jewels!"
"Goddess Ishtar saved us!"
Ignoring a few misspelled sentences, Ishtar's ears filled with human cheers for her.
After seeing the gods, people did not panic in their hearts, not only because Ishtar saved them, but also the dependence of humans on the gods had an important impact.
"Let everyone around it retreat, and report all the situations here to Uruk, and let me stop the Demon Beasts here for a while!" Ishtar was like a hero in girls' junior high, giving orders to people in a heroic manner.
"Yes, goddess Ishtar, I follow your will." After bowing to Ishtar and thanking her, the people quickly left the surroundings, called the humans nearby, and moved towards Uruk.
