After that, with Rozen's deliberate avoidance, the group managed to arrive at the fir forest safely, save for a few times where they had to fight.
At this moment, the sun was already nearing the bottom of the mountain range on the other side of the horizon, ushering in the dusk.
Rozen and the group hid behind a hill and looked in the direction of the fir forest.
"Roar …"
"Roar …"
The roars of magical beasts rang out from time to time in the fir forest, telling everyone how dangerous it was inside.
Rozen looked ahead, his eyes flashing as he peeked at the spiritual energy in the fir forest.
In Rozen's vision, the spiritual energy of the magical beasts seemed to be gathering into a mist, constantly spreading and lingering in the fir forest.
One could imagine just how many magical beasts had gathered together to form such a spectacular spiritual energy.
At the side, Matthew and Anna anxiously waited for Rozen's reconnaissance.
"How is it? Senior? "
Matthew asked cautiously.
Rozen smiled helplessly.
"There are indeed a lot of them." Rozen deliberated for a moment and said, "Other than Ulidim, Muxiu Huxiu, Muxiu Mav, and Ushumugar, which are not very threatening, the remaining magical beasts aren't that many, but there are probably hundreds or even thousands of them. Those should be Ugar and Bashmughar."
When he said that, Mashu and Anna were speechless.
"Hundreds or even thousands of Ugar and Bashmughar?" Merlin said straightforwardly, "That won't do. With just the few of us, we won't be able to deal with them."
If there were only magical beasts like Ulidim, Muxiu Huxiu, Muxiu Mav, and Ushumugar, it wouldn't be a big problem.
In the legends, these magical beasts were extremely terrifying existences. For example, Uhuru Mujal was said to be able to travel thousands of miles in a day. However, due to being mass-produced here, their strength was greatly reduced.
Take Ushumgar for example. He was indeed fast, but he could only display his maximum speed for a minute at most. If he used it for too long, his explosive power would decrease. Thus, he could only fight against ten soldiers at most.
There was also Mu Xiu and Hu Xiu. Their suppressive power was relatively low, but their endurance was very high. If they left them alone, no matter how many soldiers there were, they would be slaughtered by them. Only by attacking them from the start would they not be as much of a threat.
It was the same for Ulidim and Musimav. Each of them had their own weaknesses. They were a great threat to humans, but for servants, even if there were hundreds of them, it would not be a problem to deal with them. The only problem was that their numbers were not limited.
But Ugal and Ba Xiumu were different.
Even in the legends, they were among the top of the eleven magical beasts of Tiamat. One was called the Lion of the Sun, and the other could even corrode the gods. From this, it could be seen how threatening they were.
Even if they were mass-produced, it could be seen from the fact that their numbers were far fewer than the other magical beasts. Compared to the other magical beasts, they were also special.
To put it bluntly, if an ordinary servant were to face them alone, it would be difficult to win.
For example, a third-rate servant would not be able to win against Ugal at all. Only a first-rate servant would be able to do so.
Rozen estimated that Ugal's strength had probably reached the level of the highest tamed monster. Even if it was only at the tactical level, it was still much stronger than some of the servants.
As for Ba Xiumu, he was afraid that he would be even more difficult to deal with than Ugal. Even if his strength was not as strong as Ugal, the threat that his poison could bring was far above that of Ugal.
There were hundreds of such magical beasts?
Then, even if it was Attila, she would have to go all out and bring out all her destructive abilities and noble artifacts to fight against such a large number of Ugal and Ba Xiumu alone.
And even Attila, who had the spiritual base of a crown, had to go this far. Even if a group of ordinary servants fought against them, they would not have a good ending.
Coupled with the large number of other magical beasts, if Rozen and his team just went in like this, the consequences could be imagined.
Of course, if Rozen showed his true strength, then it would not be a big deal.
After all, Rozen had never been afraid of a competition of numbers.
As long as the Night of One Hundred Ghosts reappeared in this era, then taking down this fir forest would be a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, now was not the time for Rozen to be so reckless.
Therefore …
"According to the plan, I will sneak in."
Rozen turned his head and looked at everyone.
"Merlin and Anna will stay here. Matthew will follow me in her spirit form. Ishtar will lure Jin Gu away. Then, I will hide my presence and fly in alone to go straight to the temple."
This was the most appropriate strategy at the moment.
Merlin and Anna were not Rozen's servants, so they could not fly with Rozen in their spirit forms. In addition, it was necessary for them to stay behind in order to look after each other.
Ishtar had been fishing for the whole way, so it was time for her to do her part.
Mashu, as Rozen's Absolute Contract's familiar, could keep up with him.
At that time, Rozen only needed to fly into the fir forest after Jin Gu was lured away and sneak into the temple. Then, he would be able to investigate.
"I don't have to fight at the front line. This is also a great help to me."
Merlin did not have any objections and let out a sigh of relief.
“.....”
Anna wanted to say something but Merlin held her shoulder and shook his head at her. He whispered in her ear, "Now is not the time for you to show up." After biting her lip, she fell silent.
Needless to say, Matthew could follow Rozen and protect him, which was exactly what she wanted.
As for Ishtar …
"Don't worry. Since we've agreed, I'll help you."
Ishtar finally stood up from Ma Anna's back. Riding on this sky ship, he looked in the direction of the fir forest. His ruby-like eyes suddenly turned golden.
His aura rose from Ishtar's body.
"That damn puppet, how dare he be so rude to me. I, Ishtar, will definitely take revenge!"
Leaving these words, Ishtar turned into a stream of light and flew into the fir forest.
Rozen and the others watched this scene and held their breath.
The next moment, in the center of the fir forest, a loud roar resounded.
The sound of explosions rang out continuously, causing the aura and magic power to surge wildly. Countless magical beasts were alarmed, causing them to roar in shock and anger. They seemed to be gathering in the direction of the sound.
Then, not long after, a golden light burst out of the fir forest, followed by another stream of light. Both of them fled one after another, leaving the fir forest in an instant.
"Now!" Rozen immediately said, "Matthew!"
"Yes!" Matthew's pretty face immediately tightened, and her spirit form disappeared.
The pitch-black feather weave on Rozen's body stirred instantly, causing it to roll up dazzling fire powder and fly in the direction of the fir forest.
Merlin and Anna watched as Rozen left.
Tonight was destined to not be peaceful.
