My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 736: Tima: I will save Uruk again
The situation took a turn for the worse from the moment the man in black robe appeared.

As soon as he appeared on the scene, he crushed Ibaraki Douji's spine and stepped on Ushiwakamaru. Countless Uruk soldiers died in the aftermath of the fall.

More importantly, the black-robed men dealt a blow to morale.

It's like a taut string that has just relaxed and then been pulled again. Such sudden pressure will greatly reduce the soldiers' fighting spirit.

And this nightmarish black robe... will not show mercy to the enemy because of their weakness.

So, he will go out of the city himself.

The wind blew the dust from the ground across his cloak, the coldness of the shield and spear stimulated his spirit, and as the iron door slowly opened, the king recalled stories from long ago.

When he ruled Sparta, the iron hoof of Persia had conquered wherever it went, and the envoys who came to negotiate peace with them dared to show off to themselves the strings of skulls wearing crowns.

—Those are the dry bones of conquered kings.

Leonidas asked the messenger what the Persian king wanted, and the messenger raised his head proudly and said, water and soil.

Xerxes, the King of Persia, demanded that Sparta submit to him. As a symbol of submission, Sparta had to offer a ladle of water and a handful of soil. Otherwise, Sparta would be destroyed.

Leonidas agreed to his request with a smile, and then kicked the arrogant messenger into the well.

"There is water and soil down there, go get them yourself!"

Then, he followed the 300 warriors to Thermopylae and fought to the death until the last moment, until his bravery was imprinted on the Throne of Heroes - and then he returned to thousands of years ago and raised his spear and shield to protect again.

Perhaps, this is fate.

And if this is the path I will eventually take in countless reincarnations——

Then, I will enjoy it.

"Wanderer, if you go to Sparta, please tell the citizens there that we are buried here forever, and we still abide by the will of Sparta until our death..."

The ancient, no, it should be said that the eulogy from thousands of years ago, echoed again on the walls of Uruk, blew from Thermopylae to Plataea, bringing the confession of distant places.

Calling upon the loyal soul.

"..." The fierce light in the black-robed man's hand dimmed slightly. He gave up on the fleeing people and looked up.

Then, the spiritual flame born from the valley began to burn violently unconsciously.

He saw three hundred dark blue shadows.

Standing at the front is a burly hero wearing a fluttering red robe, a helmet and holding a gun.

"MOΛΩNΛABE (Come and get it if you can)!"

The sound of the spear handles hitting the ground was deafening. Immediately afterwards, the three hundred imaginary warriors struck their shields with their spears, raised their shoulders, and struck a uniform spear-throwing posture.

The voice of the soul resounds through the sky.

"MOΛΩNΛABE (Come and get it if you can)!"

"Leonidas...!" Ushiwakamaru raised her head with difficulty. At this point, how could she not understand what Leonidas wanted to do?
The great general guarding the northern front clearly intended to use himself as bait so that the soldiers and even she would have a chance to escape back to Uruk!
No, this is too dangerous!

Ushiwakamaru cried out in her heart. The moment the man in black robe landed, she realized that this was no opponent that one or a few servants could defeat.

Only the spirits of gods, or even heroes from the Age of Gods themselves, are qualified to become his enemies.

And in terms of spiritual strength alone, Leonidas is even weaker than her and Ibaraki!
If you use only this kind of strength to stand in front of this man in black robe, you will die without a doubt!
Suddenly, Ushiwakamaru felt her back loosen, and a figure as black as the night stepped over her and floated towards Leonidas at the city gate like a murderous god of death.

Without any conversation, he just raised his hand, and the spiritual fire that had been restless for a long time poured out like a torrent!

"Go ahead, friends." The swords and spears rang out, and Leonidas struck the shield against the blue fire of death, responding with a surging and blazing fire, "Gather our souls here—"

With the release of the treasure, the outlines of three hundred round shields stood in front of the Spartans. The unyielding will penetrated the spiritual barrier, turned into real matter, and burned fiercely, condensing into brilliant flames.

"Thermopylae Enomotia!"

The flame of death and the shield of fire came into contact and instantly tore into each other, roaring and screaming like two giant beasts. What sprayed out was not blood, but almost liquefied magma, splashing in all directions and igniting the curtain of night.

Kuacha! Kuacha! Kuacha!

Crisp shattering sounds rang out one after another. Just as Ushiwakamaru had judged, the spiritual foundation bestowed on Leonidas by the Throne of Heroes restricted his output. With the cold burning of the Flame of the Valley, even with the most resolute will, it was difficult to resist the rule that distinguished between life and death.

The flame born from the valley has the power to guide people to their destiny.

And aren't the three hundred warriors summoned by Leonidas the embodiment of 'resurrection of the dead'?
So - the soul returns to the underworld!
The majestic beast roared and squeezed its body into the shield formation little by little. Every time a bit of spiritual fire penetrated the defense line, the shield wall would shatter one after another and become shaky.

But at least I can still hold on.

But the man in black robe seemed to have lost his patience - as he raised his hand and swung his fist, countless shield shadows wailed and shattered!

There was not a long stalemate with the Gorgon as in the original book, because the opponent he faced was a warrior who could easily kill the Avengers, a monster among monsters today.

"Ugh..." Leonidas had been bleeding from all five orifices and looked horrific without anyone noticing. However, through the bloodstained vision, he could see that there were still soldiers who had not been able to evacuate safely.

Then, take away everything contained in this spiritual foundation, this life, and this body!
As long as Sparta's Thermopylae can stand here forever!

“Oh oh oh oh oh oh!” Sparta roared, and the sword light flashed like a white dragon out of a stream, slashing at the silent black robe. “The Second Scene of the Wandering Poem of King Zana——Thin Green·Sky Blade Retracting Step!”

Feeling the sound of a blow on his back, the man in black robe looked back indifferently. Amid the flying black debris, a wounded girl was slashing forward with a knife. She crashed into his arms like a meteor, and the sharp blade light swept away like a whirlwind.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The iron-hard touch caused Ushiwakamaru's pupils to shrink, and then he saw the man in black robe raising his hand.

The wind from the fist spread, and a tremendous pressure descended like a mountain. Clearly, what was magnified in her eyes was just a fist, but the intuition of a warrior made her scream hysterically.

It was as if an entire mountain was falling towards him!
"The third scene of the story of King Chana’s wanderings—Benkei: Standing still!"

The legend of the Battle of Ikawa-kan reappeared in the world, but how could the posture of Nioh alone withstand a devastating blow? When the protruding joints of the iron fist broke the famous sword Bolu, and collided with the soft chest of the girl, Ushiwakamaru spurted blood from his mouth and flew backwards upside down.

Threat eliminated.

The man in black robe turned his head again and looked at the majestic city and the shield formation in front of the city that was about to go out like a candle flame. Then, he was stunned for a moment as if he could not believe it.

puff!

As Leonidas squeezed out the last bit of his strength, he roared and swung his arms. His beloved spear crossed the battlefield and, as if to block all the enemy's attacks, pierced the black-robed man's chest.

No blood flowed out. The man in black robe lowered his eyes and looked at the spear that pierced him. He raised his hand as if he wanted to break it, but he paused when he grasped the handle of the spear.

After the injuries from the battle with Fujimaru and others, the venting of the Baallahmu and others, and the slashing of Ushiwakamaru, the spear from Leonidas finally penetrated his defense.

Even if the wound is shallow.

But proud enough.

So the man in black robe put down his arms and looked through his boney face at Leonidas, who was half-kneeling on the ground and dying.

Just like that, maintaining the state of being pierced, he took a step, and appeared in front of him in an instant. He casually waved away the few remaining shield shadows and grabbed it.

"You..." Leonidas was unwilling and wanted to struggle, but when the man in black punched him on the back, this hero who held on to the end could not escape the broken spine and lost his ability to fight.

"This guy..." Gilgamesh had been sitting on the wall the whole time, watching his generals die or get injured. Seeing this, he just frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"King, please allow Ba to go down and fight him to the death." Ba knelt on one knee in front of the emperor, his pretty face full of anger and frost.

"No, I will not allow meaningless waste." The wise king rejected her request outright. At this moment, the man in black robe raised his head, and his cold face met the gazes of several people on the city wall, his murderous intent not concealed at all.

Baal-Rahmu's mission is to "kill as many people as you can", which means that the black-robed men will not stop until Uruk is destroyed or Baal-Rahmu says so.

Just as flames were brewing in his hands, a figure in a white dress opened her arms and stood in front of the Wise King and Tomoe Gozen like a hen protecting her chicks.

She is the person in charge of the healing center, and the girl who resolved the beast tide crisis with her singing, Miss Tia.

Even though she was so petite and should have been protected instead of being on a battlefield filled with smoke, she still looked at the man in black robes bravely and fearlessly, her starry eyes full of determination.

"Ah, danger, Miss Tia!" Tomoe Gozen stood up anxiously and wanted to protect the girl, but was stopped by the wise king again.

"Watch carefully, you idiot."

"Why! Tia will be...wait, could it be?!" Tomoe Gozen instantly realized something and held his breath, "No, no way?"

She asked Miss Tia to come because she had seen her drive away the monsters with her singing, but she didn't expect anything else.

But since they are enemies in the same camp as Warcraft... could they be able to do something like that?

That's impossible. After all, this guy in black robe is different from those simple-minded monsters...

Under Tomoe Gozen's half-believing and half-doubting gaze, a miracle happened. Facing the murderous man in black robe, the girl in white dress didn't even sing a song, but just looked at him calmly for a long time.

Then, the man in black robe retracted his gaze, turned around decisively, picked up the three dying servants, and disappeared at the end of the plain.

Just like a satisfied hunter after a successful hunt, he no longer had any attachment to Uruk which was within his reach.

He looked murderous just now... Tomoe Gozen thought in disbelief, but when she saw several figures appearing in the distance, her spirit tensed up again.

"These... idiots!" Not only her, but even Gilgamesh was stunned and cursed angrily with a gloomy face.

The ones who ran into the black-robed men head-on were actually the Fujimaru team who had rushed back from Eridu!

"Uruk is ahead..." Fujimaru was introducing it to the leopard man. When he looked up, a familiar and terrifying figure came into view.

"This guy? How could it be possible!?"

With a loud bang, Fujimaru pulled Merlin and retreated together with Anna and the New Moon Leopard. It was obvious that they were extremely afraid of this invulnerable guy.

But the man in black robe didn't even look at them, and left with the spoils.

"Ushiwakamaru, General Leonidas and... Ibaraki?!" It was not until the man in black robe left that Fujimaru realized who he was holding in his hands. He opened his mouth in surprise and muttered to himself.

"What exactly happened?"
