The Death of Enkidu
As they spoke, they had already rushed to the center of the battlefield. Ahi waved his hand, and his personal guards separated into two groups of cavalry to meet them. The chariots also went around the battlefield and surrounded them from both sides. This was a duel between elites, and the battle was very intense as soon as it began. Swords and spears collided, men and horses roared, collided, and began a strangulation. The light of swords and spears was accompanied by various magic attacks and defenses.
Although Ahi did not train a team of priests like Gilgamesh, he was also prepared. Not only did he have a few supreme warriors and supreme mages in his personal guards, but he also transferred dozens of noble warriors who had undergone the second awakening of power from the army to the front line. For a while, they were evenly matched.
Gilgamesh sat in the chariot and did not move. He held his staff and cast various magic to help. Ahi stood in the distance and did not move. He held his iron staff and stood guard. The two supreme mages behind him sang loudly and worked together to cast magic to help their own personal guards. For a while, they could not help the five supreme warriors.
The more elite the direct collision, the heavier the casualties. In a cavalry battle, it was difficult to notice which warrior fell under whose sword and spear. After a charge battle accompanied by the roar of magic, both sides lost a lot of people after breaking through the formation. Abel had fallen in a pool of blood. Abel was already lying in a pool of blood. In such a battlefield, no one noticed how he died.
Gilgamesh finally stood up, holding his staff and shining with divine light. He pulled out the sword from his waist and slowly walked out of the chariot. Ah looked back at the two supreme mages behind him, then gripped his iron staff tightly and slowly walked forward. Between them, it was the battlefield where Enkidu and the five supreme warriors fought. The commanders of both sides were finally going to directly participate in the battle.
The battle in the wilderness had entered a state of strangulation. The two armies crossed each other, and the formation was somewhat unstable. The commanders could only strictly order the infantry phalanx at the back to stabilize. At this time, it was a battle of morale. Who could last until the end? And the turning point that determined the direction of the battle was the battle between the masters in the center. Once the two commanders took action, they could not afford to lose.
Ah walked forward step by step, as if turning a blind eye to the battle between the supreme warriors in front of him. There seemed to be tension in the air. At this moment, Enkidu suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. He spun around and swept out with his sword. That broken sword emitted a dazzling golden light. With a series of muffled groans, the five supreme warriors who were besieging him were all sent flying.
Gabriel, who had the strongest will to fight, was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. His battle axe had several cracks on it, and the armor on his body had shattered into pieces. Medanzo was panting heavily, the dagger in his hand humming in pain. Looking at the Wolf Fang in Long Teng's hand, the sharp spikes had been flattened by the impact, turning into a huge hammer.
Enkidu knew that Gilgamesh was coming, so he used all his strength to push back the five supreme warriors who were besieging him, and the two were about to regroup. Rickard and Vörde seized this rare opportunity to give up the battlefield on the side of the bodyguards and cast high-level offensive magic towards Enkidu. Both of them cast spatial fissure magic at the same time, and the space where Enkidu was standing was instantly shattered into countless fragments. Even the light and shadow became incomplete.
Enkidu pointed his sword to the sky, and the golden light of the sword erupted. Not only did the broken sword become complete, but the light enveloped his whole body, and even the spatial fissure could not shake it. Gilgamesh pointed his staff from afar, and the space between heaven and earth became blurred. This was information annihilation magic. At the highest level, it could even erase the boundaries between space and time.
The two supreme mages were not only attacking Enkidu, but also preventing Gilgamesh from joining the battle. The magic they used should be the most suitable. Gilgamesh, on the other hand, dealt with the obstacles and was about to rush over. Ah Yi gritted his teeth and was about to fly up with the iron staff in his hand when he suddenly felt his body go limp. It was as if a powerful and irresistible force had invaded the depths of his heart. He stood there without moving!
Even when facing Enkidu, Enkidu had never felt this way. Who was it? This force seemed to be irresistible and irresistible, but it was not directed at Enkidu. Enkidu could clearly feel the invisible pressure directly invading the depths of his soul. For a moment, he was even in a trance, inexplicably recalling all the weak moments in his life, as well as the trials and tribulations he had experienced.
Enkidu felt this way, and everyone around him was frozen at this moment. Almost at the same time, they looked up at the sky. The sky had turned dark, and the scorching sun in the sky had disappeared without a trace. A spiral gap was torn in the sky, as if leading to the endless unknown. Thud, thud, thud. The sounds of weapons and armour clashing could be heard, as the surrounding warhorses fell to the ground, and the soldiers fell to the ground in shock. The intense battle had actually come to an end without a sound.
Tens of thousands of people looked up at the sky. In the middle of the battle, a black vortex was constantly surging and circling, as if it was an endless abyss extending from an unknown space. The soldiers were inexplicably terrified, and the two supreme mages floating in the air were unable to calm their minds and run their prayers to boost their morale. Even they themselves did not dare to stay in the sky any longer and had already drifted down.
Black was not a color. When all colors and shadows disappeared, it was absolute darkness. But the black vortex in the sky was so bright and dazzling, as if it had torn open a gap that could devour everything. Gilgamesh also stood still and looked up at the sky in shock. The black vortex tore open the sky ferociously, its center pointing straight at Enkidu.
The continent's number one warrior suddenly woke up from his shock, as if he had realized or understood something. He roared and laughed, "Is this the test I have to face? Or is it the curse of the gods? Just in time, I have been waiting for a long time! "
In the midst of his laughter, he leaped high and slashed at the black vortex with his sword. The power of this sword was even stronger than the cloud eagle he had slashed at Horus a few days ago. It was a stunning scene. The golden sword condensed into a giant blade hundreds of feet long in the air, and with an incomparably violent force, it slashed at the black vortex.
Then, Enkidu's laughter stopped. The black light only trembled slightly, and the golden sword disappeared without a trace as if it was annihilated. It seemed that it was not an attack that could be resisted with strength. Following that, the huge whirlpool began to spin, and a black bolt of lightning shot towards Enkidu without a sound or presence.
Enkidu raised his sword to block the attack. The golden light on his snake-scale armour vibrated, making him look like an inviolable god descending from the sky with a loud thud. The black lightning was like maggots, twisting and slashing down. Who was fighting the continent's number one warrior?
Gilgamesh was the first to react. He roared and raised his staff high. A huge figure appeared in the air. It was Gilgamesh's "divine form". This figure condensed from magic power appeared in the air, and with all of Gilgamesh's strength, it held a sharp fang in its hand. With a roar, it struck at the black vortex.
He and Enkidu had cooperated many times, and already knew what to do. Enkidu landed on the ground to defend, and Gilgamesh took the opportunity to use his most powerful magic to attack the "enemy" from behind. But in the next moment, the light dissipated, and Gilgamesh's "divine form" collapsed in front of the black light. The sharp fang also fell down.
Gilgamesh took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He could only stand on the ground with his staff. He couldn't help Enkidu, and he couldn't even join in the battle against the black vortex. He could only watch helplessly.
Ah Ye watched it all happen. He didn't know what was going on, and naturally, he used detection magic to sense it. If this was really the curse of the so-called god, he wanted to know which god did it, and where the god was hiding. But he didn't find any traces, and only felt an inexplicable and terrifying aura in the black vortex and the thunderbolt.
Screams, roars, sounds of fighting, and wailing seemed to come from the distant sky, but also sounded like it was ringing in the ears. Along with these sounds, countless people's pain, resentment, fear, hesitation, despair, and other feelings irresistibly invaded the depths of their souls, forming a powerful and incredible spiritual force, as if to completely destroy their consciousness.
Ah Ye was just a bystander, and he sensed all this with detection magic. No one knew how Enkidu felt, but it was easy to imagine. The black thunderbolt not only contained a powerful spiritual force, but also a continuous burst of energy, directly slashing at Enkidu. The supreme warrior waved the broken sword wildly, and the golden sword light rolled up like a hurricane around his body, but he couldn't disperse or repel this indescribable attack. He didn't even know who his opponent was.
This seemed to be a duel with no hope in sight. Enkidu broke out the most powerful force in his life, and the snake scales on his body exploded like golden smoke.
As soon as Ah Ye was immersed in the battle, his body and mind were attacked by an indescribable tremor. He retracted his detection magic and looked down at the other mages on the battlefield. They all had a painful and hesitant expression on their faces. It was no wonder that any mage who saw such a scene would use detection magic to sense it. If they were not careful, they would be hurt by the impact.
Most of the soldiers naturally didn't know detection magic, but when they looked up at the sky, an irresistible tremor arose in their hearts, and they couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands steadily. Those who could still think wondered if this was the punishment and curse of the gods. Even the Eygut soldiers couldn't muster up a trace of fighting spirit at this time. In the face of the unknown terror that tore the sky apart, it was as if they were under great pressure.
This battle couldn't go on anymore, and only Enkidu was left to fight alone.
Ah Ye came back to his senses, quietly summoned the generals around him, and quickly ordered the whole army to retreat. The Eygut Army quietly retreated, and many soldiers gradually breathed a sigh of relief. Inexplicably, everyone wanted to get as far away from the battlefield as possible. When retreating, Ah Ye sat in the carriage. Although he didn't look back, he could still feel the pain and despair contained in the black thunderbolt.
He had "brought" a strange ability from the Underworld, which was the ability to feel the inner emotions of others. Since it was an ability, of course, he could control and use it freely, and he didn't have to feel it when he didn't want to. But at this time, this ability was out of control. When he retracted his detection magic, he could still feel the "thoughts" in the black thunderbolt.
The "thoughts" contained in the black thunderbolt seemed to be "alive", but not like a person. Instead, it was like the hearts of many people, directly drilling into their souls and appearing, unable to be dispelled. In the face of such an impact, how strong would one need to be to stay awake and not lose oneself? Ah Ye couldn't help but remember that he had a similar feeling in the Underworld of the Queen of Kella.
In the various houses of the Underworld, he had "heard" the prayers, pleas, curses, and resentment of countless people woven together. At that time, he could only pass through safely by calming his mind. Those thoughts were only sensed by Ah Ye, and did not converge together to actively attack his soul. But at this moment, Enkidu was clearly suffering from such an impact. Ah's ability came from this experience, and now that he experienced Enkidu's situation, he couldn't help but be shocked.
After retreating back to Khenmet, Ah did not hide far away. Instead, he climbed up the city wall and continued to observe. The Eygut Army silently retreated, but the Uruk Legion remained where they were because Gilgamesh hadn't given the order.
Gilgamesh didn't give up. He gathered the mages in the army to set up a magic formation and personally cast all kinds of magic. But the black thunderbolt seemed to be unaffected. Gilgamesh changed his mind again and tried to "save" Enkidu, but his efforts were in vain.
The black thunderbolt fell from the sky and had already entangled Enkidu. If the mages didn't pay attention to the detection magic, they would be injured by the terrifying impact. Gilgamesh's face was devoid of blood. His hand holding his staff was trembling, but he was still unwilling to give up.
Ah looked at the battlefield that was engulfed by the black vortex. Due to the uncontrollable ability, he was also suffering from extreme pain. His whole body was soaked in cold sweat, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, not missing a single detail. He had no choice but to look. The huge vortex in the sky seemed to have a strange attractive force that contained the unknown secrets of the gods.
Ah seemed to have understood something, but he was even more confused. He could only feel it, but he didn't have the time to think or comprehend it.
What Enkidu was enduring was not only the impact on his soul. The black thunderbolt was accompanied by a huge explosion of energy. It was as if countless invisible enemies were charging at him without stopping. At this moment, Ah couldn't help but admire Enkidu. He was actually able to endure such an attack until now. Although it wasn't a long time, it was enough to shock the world.
The serpent scale armour of this number one warrior of the continent had been completely shattered, and his clothes had been reduced to ash. His robust and burly body was naked, emitting a bronze radiance that was faintly discernible amidst the black lightning. He madly waved the broken sword in his hand. The golden sword ray had already turned into a mist that enveloped his body, but it was getting dimmer and dimmer in the midst of the black thunderbolt.
Seeing that Enkidu's sword ray was about to be annihilated in the black light, the warrior let out the last roar of his life. The sword ray once again shone dazzlingly. He leaped high into the air and rushed towards the center of the black vortex. His voice reverberated across the battlefield. Gil, I finally understand! This isn't the curse of the gods, but the judgment of fate! "
What did Enkidu understand? No one could ask, because this was the last thing he said in this world. While Ah was still in a daze, he suddenly heard another roar, as if thousands of wild bulls were roaring in his soul. It was Humbaba's roar! Humbaba had long been killed by Enkidu. How could his soul-shaking roar appear in the black vortex?
Sensing the sudden impact of the roar, Ah's body went limp and he almost fell. At this moment, he heard the several supreme mages behind him exclaim at the same time, "Watch out!"
A golden ray of light shot straight towards the city tower of Khenmet from the black vortex. It was the sword in Enkidu's hand. The last thing this supreme warrior did in his life was not to continue fighting against the black thunderbolt. Instead, he used all his strength to throw this sword. He still wanted to kill Ah.
This sword was too swift and too sudden. No one had expected it! If it weren't for the several supreme mages standing behind him, who felt something was wrong and immediately cast magic to block it, Ah, who was distracted, might have really been killed by Enkidu. The golden ray of light seemed to contain the most brilliant and powerful energy magic in the world. It broke through the obstacles one after another without changing its direction.
By the time it reached Ah, it had already lost control, because the person who launched this attack was no longer in this world. The black vortex in the sky was slowly shrinking. Enkidu had been killed, leaving only a few pieces of his scales on the battlefield.
Ah groaned and raised his iron staff forward. The golden ray disappeared. It had been absorbed into the magical space carried by Ah's Ventussalam. Then, his vision darkened and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He fainted and was caught by Metatro.
Ah's ability had been out of control. From beginning to end, he was lost in thought, trying to figure out what was contained in the black vortex and the thunderbolt. Unknowingly, he had been channeling his magic to protect his mind. He did not realize that his magic power had been consumed to its limit. When he suddenly heard Humbaba's roar, he was already injured. When he channeled magic to absorb the golden ray of light, he actually fainted.
… …
When Ah, the commander-in-chief of Eygut, woke up, it was already noon the next day. When he opened his eyes from the chaos, he saw a white light slowly scattering down. Turning his head, he saw the ninth-level supreme mage Wadj-hotep casting healing magic on himself, while the other generals of the army were sitting in the room.
Ah moved slightly and was surprised to find that his injuries were very strange. His blood vessels were intact, but he could not channel any magic power.
When he opened his eyes and moved, the people around him immediately noticed. Someone said in a surprised and anxious tone, "Thank the gods, the commander-in-chief has finally woken up! The Uruk legion has retreated. I heard that Gilgamesh is also seriously injured. Without the commander-in-chief's orders, we did not pursue them. Now that you are awake, do you want to order the army to pursue the enemy? "
