Chapter 978 - Meteor that pierces Demon Beast

The Gorgons in the distance ordered again, and she told the Demon Beasts to ignore Humbaba and attack the northern wall.

After all Humbaba came and just destroying the north wall was real business.

"Roar——!!" At that moment, the Demon Beasts chose to turn a blind eye to Humbaba, and after roaring a few times, they all rushed towards the vine barrier created by Humbaba.

Even though Humbaba continued to kill, he still couldn't stop the Demon Beasts from attacking the vine barrier, and the vine barrier was dying at a speed that could be seen.

This made Leonidas, Ushiwakamaru, and Benkei, who were constantly killing Demon Beasts from gaps in the vine barrier quite nervous.

"Damn, this can't be killed at all!" Ushiwakamaru's irritated words couldn't be helped.

After all, there are too many Demon Beasts, even if Humbaba can make vines, it won't kill them all in a while.

Humbaba had prepared himself for a period of time to form a vine barrier again, if it wanted to create the vines that killed so many Demon Beasts, it would have to prepare it for a while.

And right now, whether it was Ushiwakamaru, Leonidas or Benkei, there was no good way to deal with the current situation.

"Since the vine barrier cannot stop the Demon Beasts, we can only change the methods." Leonidas suddenly said, then he looked at Ushiwakamaru.

"General Ushiwakamaru, I have something to ask you."

What Leonidas did to Ushiwakamaru, after Ushiwakamaru was stunned for a moment, even Benkei was equally stunned.

"It seems that the battlefield caused the poor monk to take pictures, and he even forgot about it." Benkei shook his head mockingly.

But now the situation was urgent, and this was not an opportunity to make small talk.

"Then I will go."

After Ushiwakamaru finished, she immediately dashed towards the north wall, leaving Benkei and Leonidas alone to continue slaughtering Demon Beasts.

At Humbaba's side, when Humbaba was hesitating, the sound of chains came, and a large number of silver-white chains bound Humbaba's body, preventing him from slaughtering Demon Beasts.

Humbaba looks up, it's Enkidu, no, it's fake Enkidu.

Humbaba had seen this person before, so he was no stranger, Humbaba just didn't know who the other party's real identity was.

"Only Divine Beasts, be obedient." Kingu looked indifferent, Chains of Heaven tightened its attachment to Humbaba.

But Humbaba was not a god, and the Chains of Heaven were just extremely strong chains, which could be easily broken with force or skill, as they were now.

New vines appeared on the ground around Humbaba. These vines did not attack the passing Demon Beasts, but reached between the Chains of Heaven and Humbaba, slowly expanding the Chains of Heaven that bound Humbaba and Humbaba leaping out with great ease.

"Crash—" After Humbaba got out of trouble, Kingu also unknowingly released the Chains of Heaven, letting the Chains of Heaven dissipate into a small golden light with the sound of chains.

"Sure enough, the Chains of Heaven don't have much effect on Divine Beasts like you."

Kingu was not at all surprised by such an outcome. He knew himself and Humbaba, if they really fought, he might not be able to subdue a Divine Beast that was stronger than the Bull of Heaven.

It was precisely because of his knowledge that Kingu's job was not to kill or frame Humbaba, his job was to distract Humbaba and cover up others.

*Explosion-*

The ground under Humbaba's feet suddenly shattered, a large amount of land fell into the dark abyss, and the area was so vast that nearly one-sixth of the Demon Beasts suffered from this catastrophe.

The vines tried to escape here as a stepping stone, but a huge snake tail the size of Humbaba suddenly stretched out, pulling Humbaba into the rain.

If anyone paid attention to the Gorgon, they would find that he had been missing for quite some time now. It was clear that the ground collapse was caused by it.

Ignoring the large-scale collapse of the underground, Kingu knew that Humbaba had been dragged to the ground by the Gorgons, and Kingu's protection was for the Gorgons.

Humbaba who was equal to or even surpassed the Bull of Heaven, could only be defeated by the Gorgons themselves. But what Kingu didn't expect was for the Gorgons to choose to drag Humbaba into the ground which wasn't a good thing.

After all, besides the Gorgons, there was another big enemy to come.

"Exsilver—!!"

Along with the impressive release of Noble Phantasm's original name, a beam of bright white light with a golden hue moved from one end of the vine barrier in front of the north wall to the other end of the vine barrier in front of the north wall.

All the Demon Beasts inside were enveloped by this beam of light. Obviously this Demon Beast is dead and can't die anymore. After all, this is the so-called "light cannon".

How could a mass-produced Demon Beast be able to resist? It was concluded that more than half of the Demon Beasts must have been killed or injured by this light cannon.

Besides the Demon Beasts that had been indiscriminately attacked by the Gorgons before and fell into the abyss, the Demon Beasts leaving now were the only ones left.

Who made the Demon Beasts obey the orders of the Gorgons and attack the vine barrier one after another? It was beneficial for the other party to unleash a Noble Phantasm in such an episode.

Among the affected Demon Beasts, only Mušḫuššu, one of the Demon Beast commanders survived, but even so, he still had five broken heads, and one of the two remaining heads was half drooping. The other and last breath and head are also purple-blooded.

It looks like Mušḫuššu doesn't have the Gorgon ability to grow his snake head.

"I didn't expect that man to have such a powerful Noble Phantasm Anty-Fortress." Kingu naturally guessed who it was, but he was wrong.

Generally, light cannons belong to Anti-Fortress level Noble Phantasms, unless they have special effects, and Exsilver's Silver Light Noble Phantasms are "Anty-Evil Noble Phantasms" obtained by chance from Counter Force. It wasn't the Noble Phantasm Anty-Fortress, silver light had just been released in the form of a light cannon.

And Demon Beasts can be described as "evil" to humans, and also "evil" to Wu Ming, an existence that protects humanity, but even if the opponent is not "evil", with the special characteristics of Noble Phantasm, it can forcibly add "evil" to the opponent, but the Demon Beasts did not need to let Wu Ming do it.

However Wu Ming still felt that this was too coincidental.
