Xia Die (Absolute Demonic Front: Battlefront): 10: You know my identity, but instead of running away, you're walking towards me?

Even without the protection of the Butterfly, these survivors were not entirely without the ability to resist.

Although the surrounding monsters still surged like a torrent, there were very few high-level monsters, and the vast majority of them were not here, so people were not without hope of breaking through.

The first to be affected were the lowest-level magical beasts, lionhounds, which were everywhere. Of course, although they were the lowest-level magical beasts, they were still magical beasts, not wild animals. They could easily bite an unarmed adult man to death.

Fortunately, although the survivors are well protected by Xia Die, they have not lost their weapons.

At first, they didn't trust Xia Die, nor did they believe that Xia Die was capable of protecting them.

After Xia Die demonstrated her formidable strength, they were convinced, but they still carefully preserved the weapons, just in case.

Even that boy chose to take a long spear with him when he left the city ruins.

Even though we are safe now with Xia Die's protection, there will always be a day when we have to go out and fight.

They protected the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled in the center, while the surrounding circle consisted entirely of adult males or strong females capable of fighting.

For a time, the surrounding magical beasts really didn't have a particularly good way to get close and suppress them.

However, people were not happy, because people have physical strength, and when their strength was exhausted, that's when these monsters would swarm them.

Of course, given how much time has passed since this incident, it's impossible for Uruk to remain completely silent.

The main gate—General Ushiwakamaru had noticed the situation here as soon as Merlin appeared.

However, due to the distance and her trust in Merlin, she did not take action at the time.

Now, a group of survivors are very close to the location they are guarding. All they need to do is send troops to suppress the monsters, and they will be able to provide good support to these survivors.

With that thought in mind, Ushiwakamaru rushed out.

As a general, he naturally had to take the lead. Without the slightest hesitation, Ushiwakamaru charged into the wave of monsters with his sword.

Compared to ordinary people, Servants are much stronger in combat.

Ushiwakamaru, wielding a katana, moved through the beast horde as if it were his own backyard.

With each swing of his sword, a monster would perish under his blade.

However, her outstanding performance also attracted the attention of the monsters. Soon, several giant lions, Ugal and Mushuhushu, moved toward her position, blocking her way.

"Get out of the way!"

The sharp blade in his hand cut through the air, leaving streaks of light, but compared to ordinary magical beasts, these elite monsters were much more troublesome. Even Ushiwakamaru could not break through for a while.

On the other side of the battlefield, after using all her strength, Xia Die's aura became noticeably deeper.

In the death-ridden environment of the battlefield, Xia Die's body was surrounded by an invisible purple mist.

That was the breath of death, the greatest enemy of life.

After losing the suppression of the Styx River water, many magical beasts were eager to tear their prey apart, but they fell silent after being touched by its aura.

With light, graceful steps, Xia Die moved forward slowly amidst the surrounding magical beasts, gently stroking the heads of the beasts that were encircling her as she passed by.

The next moment, the life force of these magical beasts vanished instantly, and they returned to the embrace of the underworld.

"Oh? Interesting. You were blessed by death to have this ability? But... it's useless. These little tricks are useless against gods."

As Xia Die slowly approached, a mocking smile appeared on Jingu's face.

"However, you should know who I am, right? Knowing who I am, why don't you run away, but instead walk towards me?"

"These magical beasts... I sensed the aura of human souls within a part of them."

Xia Die looked at the fallen monsters around her, a sad expression on her face.

"I was surprised before. Although the defenses of those human cities were not as strong as Uruk's, they were by no means easy for ordinary magical beasts to breach. Now it seems that you were the one who breached the city walls?"

"Yes, so what? They're just old humans, beings that will be replaced sooner or later."

Jin Gu snorted coldly and said indifferently, without the slightest pity in his voice.

“I will stop you, and avenge those who have died. Life should not be desecrated like this.”

"No, you have no chance!"

Jin Gu snorted coldly, and the next moment, his figure rushed towards Xia Die like lightning.

Xia Die, not to be outdone, wielded a scythe that gleamed with a chilling light, slicing through the air as it clashed violently with the lightsaber in her opponent's hand.

Ding!

A loud and piercing sound rang out, and a hint of surprise appeared on Jin Gu's face.

Xia Die is stronger than he imagined.

The next moment, he saw that in the instant the weapons clashed, Xia Die reached out her other hand and touched his chest.

How could you possibly defeat me with your bare hands?

Jin Gu disdainfully reached out his palm to respond.

However, the instant their hands touched, an extreme sense of danger exploded in Jin Gu's mind. He hurriedly tried to pull his hand back, but it was already too late.

In an instant, Xia Die's left hand grabbed the opponent's wrist.

Death began to spread, and a pitch-black stillness manifested itself on Jingu's body.

However, Jingu is a deity after all. Curses that would kill ordinary people upon contact with it can only erode the opponent at a relatively slow pace when they encounter Jingu. Only when the curse has eroded the opponent's entire body will the opponent fall into death.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Gu unleashed his power, directly repelling Xia Die.

"This power..."

Jin Gu and Xia Die took a few steps back abruptly, creating distance between them. Looking at his withered right hand, which had completely lost its vitality, a trace of fear flashed in Jin Gu's eyes.

He originally thought this ability only worked on magical beasts, but now it seems it works on him, a god, as well.

However, Xia Die did not relax her expression just because the other party retreated.

The opponent was, after all, a powerful god. Even with such minor injuries, it was Wu Yue—the healer—who defeated him, let alone...

With a cold smile, Jin Gu raised his right hand, and golden light appeared on his arm. The next moment, his right hand was restored to its original state.

Kingu possesses the Holy Grail within him; if he were only at this level, he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent.

Having learned his lesson, Jin Gu naturally wouldn't underestimate his opponent as he had before.

Moreover, after becoming more wary, Xia Die was no longer as easily able to touch the other party as before.

In other words, all we can do now is fight it out!

There should be another chapter later. My friend is getting married tomorrow, and I have to get up at five o'clock to go help. Ugh, I'll be very busy these next two days, so updates will probably be late at night. You can read it the next morning.

Far Butterfly (Absolute Demonic Front: Battlefront!): 11: Scapegoat Ereshkigal

Xia Die looked at Jin Gu in front of her with a solemn expression.

If it were just an ordinary god-level being, Xia Die wouldn't be afraid. However, the opponent is no ordinary being. As Tiamat's child, the opponent's strength is far beyond that of an ordinary god-level being.

Moreover, the opponent possesses the Holy Grail within their body, which is equivalent to having near-infinite regenerative power. If they cannot be killed in one blow, they will eventually be worn down by the opponent's exhaustion.

Fortunately, I don't need to fight to the death with the other side here.

However, Xia Die was still not in a good mood.

The monsters are rampant now, and the land is full of monster calamities. Xia Die had already led her people around the north of Uruk, where the disaster was most severe, and entered from the relatively weak side, but unexpectedly they were still discovered.

This kind of luck is unbelievable.

The key issue is that Xia Die's current strength is in a very awkward position. Without the spark of Titan, Xia Die is not yet in her complete form. Facing powerful god-level enemies like Jingu, she is in a situation where she can protect herself, but it would be very difficult to defeat them.

This is why Xia Die was hesitant to fight Jingu while protecting the survivors.

Now that he doesn't have to be distracted, his opponent is a god who possesses the Holy Grail, and his strength should not be underestimated. In addition, the body he is using is that of Enkidu, a creation of the god. In the end, his opponent will only become more troublesome.

However, it wasn't just Xia Die who was in a bad mood; Jingu was in the same boat.

He knew of Chaldea's existence and had come out today to intercept and kill those Chaldea Masters. However, after waiting all day, he still hadn't seen them arrive, so he came here to check on the battle lines. But he unexpectedly discovered the surprise of Xia Chao.

Good news: the Chaldea Master hasn't arrived, so one less threat has been dealt with. Bad news: an even more troublesome opponent has arrived.

The opponent is clearly not a Servant, yet he possesses such formidable strength. Kingu is somewhat puzzled; where did this guy come from?

However, Xia Die's intense aura of death led Jin to make a guess.

Could it be that the other party was sent by Ereshkigal?

The goal was to prevent them from capturing Uruk so quickly.

After all, although the Three Goddesses Alliance is now nominally allied, there is no shortage of open and covert struggles. After resolving the issues on the human side, the real battle will unfold among the three goddesses.

As for Xia Die, it seems she is an envoy sent by Ereshkigal? Otherwise, Jingu cannot explain where the dense death power emanating from her comes from.

The power of death that can even affect a god like him—besides the goddess of the underworld, no one else in this world can do it.

Jingu probably couldn't understand it even if he racked his brains. Xia Die was a person from outer space. Her ability to descend into this world was a miracle among miracles, something far more magical than magic.

After all, even a gem-bearer cannot travel freely between different worlds like a butterfly.

It seems we'll have to find a way to deal with Ereshkigal next...

Jin Gu said silently to himself.

At this moment, Ai Lei had no idea that she was just staying at home in the Underworld, but inexplicably she had been hated by Jingu.

Fortunately, she is completely invincible in the underworld, and if the issues on the ground are not resolved, Kingu will not have the energy to deal with Ereshkigal.

With a wave of his hand, the waters of the Styx bloomed in the air, and several light bullets swayed in the sky, eventually canceling each other out.

For a time, neither Xia Die nor Jingu could gain the upper hand over the other.

Xia Die was wary of Jingu's almost limitless magical power and could not recklessly exchange blows with him. Jingu, on the other hand, was also wary of Xia Die's death power, which was completely poisonous to him. Even if the Holy Grail could restore him, Jingu did not want to be too tainted by this power.
