Chereads / Mushoku Tensei: Defying Divinity / Chapter 177 - You Are Not My Enemy

Chapter 177 - You Are Not My Enemy

Cunsfiel didn't know what was about to happen, but Eris and Roxy did, so both of them stepped back and dragged the curious follower of Gilgamesh, who wanted to see his lord decimate his enemies with a powerful attack. However, he was soon pulled into the Vimana.

"Well then, let's begin, young Alexander, little bastard Apostle. I'll kill you and the bunch of clowns following you," Gilgamesh laughed heartily. At that moment, he took out a transparent crystal box from the door of Babylon.

While wizards prepared powerful spells, other adventurers near the area felt that this situation defied all common sense. "Is that man insane? Does he want to kill everyone?"

Alexander's mysterious blue eyes, capable of seeing through everything, unleashed a deep killing intent. Then, a sword made of battle aura was condemned to skin Gilgamesh.

Alexander, with a cruel gleam in his eyes, also snorted and pointed towards Gilgamesh with total resentment. "Kill him!"

At that moment, all kinds of attacks rushed forward. Not only with the intent to kill Gilgamesh but also to seize the treasure.

Boom! However, at this very moment, the crystal box in Gilgamesh's hand suddenly shook, and a vicious black liquid rushed out of the box in an instant.

Bearing immense power, black spear-like entities emerged from the treasure in Gilgamesh's hands, and in an instant, an impact headed towards everyone who attacked him. Gilgamesh, who at that moment held an entirely black spear that resembled a living being, just swung his weapon slightly, sending everyone flying. Those who took action, whether they were Sword Emperors or Gods, all of them were repelled, and some were even cut like sheets of paper.

At this moment, as if something awakened, the same platform where Gilgamesh stood showed changes, and a bloody creature began to take shape from the blood oozing from the orifices.

That fresh blood was extremely beautiful, something that would catch everyone's attention. But Gilgamesh, manipulating his spear, immediately threw it, and it soared into the sky. Subsequently, it descended and turned into thousands of black arrows that headed straight for the group below.

Gilgamesh's attacks were simple and successfully defended by the enemy. However, that wasn't Gilgamesh's purpose, as from beneath his enemies, numerous shadows silently moved and attacked anyone still alive.

Plooofff… Plooooff… Suddenly, that blood creature dispersed and fell onto the shadows, turning into creatures moving at an extreme speed.

"Kill them...!"

Seeing blood strands flying forward, adventurers who were previously knocked down cast magic spells, unsheathed their swords, and attacked.

Crack! Crack! But even using their treasures, they couldn't cut these blood strands. In an instant, blood spurted like a fountain, and shortly after, many were drenched in blood.

"Ah...!"

Screams echoed. While the non-fatal wounds pierced by the black shadows that merged with the blood were slowly drained of all blood on their bodies.

Ah! In an instant, miserable cries resonated in the air. Several adventurers were deprived of their blood and fell to the ground lifeless.

Run away! That was the only word formed in the minds of many; everyone wanted to flee because they were terrified. An adventurer shouted and ran towards the exit.

Crack! However, at this moment, many large shadows rushed out of the ground like tentacles of a fearsome creature, but they were much more terrifying than ordinary tentacles.

"My leg!"

This person fleeing was pierced by the shadow, and in a matter of seconds, his body withered like a mummy.

Amidst this chaos, countless large malevolent shadows lunged at all the adventurers with extreme speed. Other shadows mercilessly attacked Alexander's group.

Alexander's group roared ferociously and unleashed powerful defensive techniques, repelling the shadows time and time again.

And as if no one expected it, behind all those blood shadows, there was a malevolent being enjoying this feast. With a humanoid body not too tall, around three meters in height, it looked like a terrifying demon lord, where all the malevolent shadows emanated from its body. What was most frightening was that it had a pair of completely black eyes on its face.

When this being appeared in front of everyone, its aura of terror didn't stop there. It suddenly emitted an endless malevolent presence that rose through the surroundings.

Boom!

At that moment, the figure that had appeared changed shape and turned into even more shadows that scattered everywhere. They merged with the shadows around and suddenly became blood swords piercing through the hearts of any living being.

"Ancient monster, shadow of malevolent adversity... You've finally shown yourself, you're much stronger than my expectations. You even managed to form your humanoid body," Gilgamesh said as he looked at the perpetrator of the troublesome shadows.

"Is that the demon that was released in this place?" Roxy was frightened after occasionally seeing the humanoid form of the shadow demon. At that moment, she remembered why Gilgamesh wanted to find it to eliminate it.

"Its thirst is unstoppable, that's its curse."

As Gilgamesh looked at this demon, he knew it wasn't a simple one that could be treated carelessly.

"What, what are these things? Why are these things sucking blood from everyone?"

A sealed demon, the kind that has died in this world if you ask Roxy.

Why is it here?

Maybe it comes from another world, but who sealed it is a mystery that Gilgamesh doesn't care to solve.

As the shadows of the shadow demon absorbed more energy, it became even stronger. A few times stronger than before, Alexander's group had almost eliminated it, but at the last moment, they were forced to retreat.

As their numbers dwindled, Alexander's expression became grim. According to what he had heard from Hitogami, this demon would kill Gilgamesh, but now it seems that he will be killed first.

"Don't retreat!" Alexander waved his sword while activating a magical item.

Boom!

In the midst of fire and thunder, when this magical item emerged, a divine aura swept away all the shadows around, erasing numerous shadows and protecting Alexander's group as they ran away.

"A magical shield?" Although its power was limited in use, it could protect them while they made their way out of the trap without issues.

"Want to escape? It won't be that easy." Gilgamesh smiled as he condemned several golden ripples.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the two swords exploded as Gilgamesh snapped his fingers. The swords released unimaginable power.

Gilgamesh had used simple swords that were destroyed by his powerful energy, but the real attack wasn't derived from that.

The magical item in Alexander's hands was affected, and he immediately unleashed his divine power to defend.

Boom!

A loud explosion reverberated throughout the underground. Everyone in the demon continent felt two formidable presences.
