Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Expose that guy's incompetence in broad daylight and make it clear what the gap is between us... Can I believe this is the plan?!"

Once again, the goddess Ishtar deceived herself.

Jingle Bell!

As the stone gate emitted strange sounds, a series of Garula spirits emerged from the gate and suddenly launched an attack on Li Ye and others!

Without waiting for Ishtar or Mashu to attack, the sword light that swept across the sky instantly cut off the existence of the Nagarula spirit.

With just a few sword strikes, he slew the seven Garula spirits that emerged from the gate, without even leaving the range of the stone gate!

"You've grown up again..."

Seeing that she didn't need to take action, Ishtar immediately summoned Ma Anna to fly at a low altitude, floated to Li Ye's side, and looked Li Ye up and down.

It seemed as if Li Ye in front of her was a stranger to her.

"Mr. Li Ye is still as amazing as ever!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't think it was wrong and said with a smile: "In this way, we will be able to pass the test of the seven gates very quickly!"

"necessary."

Hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's praise, Li Ye's nose turned up and he crossed the second stone gate very casually.

Ishtar beside him had a determined look in her eyes and gritted her teeth as she rushed through the door.

The familiar lightning flashed.

When the lightning dissipated, Ishtar, who had become smaller, looked ashamed and said, "I've been cursed again... Even if I use all my magic power to defend myself, it's useless...

If we continue like this, not only will we not be able to participate in the battle, we will actually be crushed to death by that guy Ereshkigal..."

"It's okay, Ishtar. Small ones are cute too."

Li Ye turned his back to Ishtar and did not let her see his smile, but the smile in his words could not be concealed no matter what.

"You are so rude, you must be laughing at me, right?"

Ishtar, who was sitting on Ma Anna, looked ashamed and angry, and she wanted to give Li Ye a flying kick, but her body had shrunk too much, making it difficult for Ishtar to adapt.

"Ms. Ishtar is still very impressive. After all, it is only a change in size. In my opinion, your bow is still as powerful as ever."

Mashu smiled, trying to comfort Ishtar at this moment.

"Fortunately, we have Li Ye, otherwise the next five-door battle would be a bit difficult."

Roman breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of emotion: "It needs to be faster."

After a while, Li Ye and his companions arrived at the third gate to the underworld.

"If you choose to side with Ereshkigal, the difficulty of the battle will be reduced."

Mashu, who had already noticed the pattern, smiled and said, "The strength of the Garula spirits that appeared before was not very high. If we choose the goddess Ishtar, the goddess Ereshkigal should send out more powerful Garula spirits to fight!"

"That won't do... No matter how hard it is, women have their bottom line, Mashu."

Ishtar shook her head and said, "When facing other goddesses, it's enough for me to look relatively superior, but I can't lose to this guy.

Especially not when fighting such a hopelessly unpleasant opponent!"

"After all, he is a strong enemy just like the self in the mirror—"

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the shrunken Ishtar curiously and smiled faintly.

Li Ye subconsciously turned his head to look at the darkness not far away. The golden king gradually walked out and returned to everyone's sight with a familiar laughter.

“Hahahahahahahaha, this king had no intention of coming out at this time, but after seeing something incredible, even this king could not hold back!

Hahahahahaha, what is this magical size?"

The Hero King Gilgamesh walked out of the darkness and laughed loudly: "I thought you could be so dignified and say something decent at first, but even I can't block your breath when I see you at this size.

Hahaha, little girl? No, actually it turned into a very small girl! Little girl, hahaha, what is this? So funny! "

"You golden glittering——"

With tears in her eyes, Ishtar threw a flying kick at Gilgamesh, but Gilgamesh easily dodged it by turning his body.

Seeing this, Gilgamesh laughed and said, "The underworld must be very uneasy now!"

"King Gilgamesh, it seems that you are okay. Did you escape the captivity of the goddess Ereshkigal?"

Li Ye smiled.

"Hahahahaha, thank you for coming to greet me, Li Ye and Fujimaru Ritsuka!"

Gilgamesh laughed and said, "It seems that you are frightened by the excessive cold of the underworld. You are a stranger. Do you need me, who is familiar with the underworld, to lead the way?"

"You are King Gilgamesh?! But weren't you imprisoned by Ereshkigal?"

Mashu said in shock.

"Humph, the underworld is just my backyard. I am naturally very familiar with it. After all, I have been here many times!"

Gilgamesh said as a matter of course: "Although I died accidentally, before the arrival of the Garula spirit, I hid in the dark, held my breath and entered into meditation to block the breath. After perfectly escaping from their eyes, I have been thinking about what to do until you showed up. That's all!"

"You look very energetic, King Gilgamesh."

Fujimaru Ritsuka clapped quietly, as if celebrating the arrival of Gilgamesh.

"Although being energetic is a good thing, this guy is more energetic than I thought, which is annoying."

Ishtar curled her lips and said, "If you were cursed by the underworld like me, I could still accept it—"

"Fool, the curse of the underworld is imposed on the living. I am already dead, and all the punishments of the underworld will not befall me. But this also means that I am subject to Ereshkigal. Without her consent, I cannot leave the underworld."

"After all, if we want to reclaim the soul of the dead, we must get the consent of the master."

Looking at the gate to the underworld, Li Ye said calmly: "This does not conflict with our purpose, or rather, this is our purpose."

"By the way, how did you become like this? Have you finally realized your own stupidity and become timid?"

Gilgamesh, who had joined the team, once again looked at the shrunken Ishtar.

"Didn't I tell you that? It's Ereshkigal's curse!"

As if a sore spot had been touched, Ishtar's golden eyes sparkled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Ahhh, I really shouldn't have come to save someone like you!"

"Hahaha, you guy, hahaha, you come to save me?"

Gilgamesh seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world: "Could it be that I died of overwork in the underworld and saw hallucinations?"

"Yes, this way I can watch you die with a clear conscience. How about you just fall into the abyss of the underworld? After all, you are the best at swimming, right? You are so good at it that you are addicted to bathing, and even the spiritual herbs were stolen by snakes."

Ishtar retorted decisively.

"Well, that stinky mouth that can accurately hit my pain point, you are not an illusion, Ishtar."

Gilgamesh nodded and said, "But this doesn't make sense. If this isn't my dream, then what is this slightly cute Ishtar?

Could it be that the probability has changed? Are you planning to pretend to be a super good girl in front of Li Ye and Fujimaru Ritsuka? "

“Wow, that’s disgusting, but also cute, it gives me goosebumps just by hearing it.

And I’m not pretending at all.”

Ishtar looked at Gilgamesh with disgust.

"Okay, that's about it for the two Uruk jokes, it's time for us to answer the questions."

Li Ye interrupted the crosstalk between Gilgamesh and Ishtar, and then looked towards the gate to the underworld, which sounded as soon as they arrived.

"…Answer it…

Please answer my question quickly...

My pitiful questions became dim, as if they had lost confidence.

"Wow, so pitiful. I've been yelling since just now, but I've been completely ignored. I don't even have any confidence anymore!"

Roman commented accurately.

"Oh, yes, the king has granted your permission. Now, ask your question. What is your verdict on the third door?"

Gilgamesh quite naturally took the initiative and asked the question to the Gate of the Underworld as it should be.

"The one who fought side by side with me, the one I trusted, the one I respected, the one who deserved victory - who was it, Ishtar or Gilgamesh?"

"It must be this king!"

Gilgamesh gave the answer without even thinking.

Jingle Bell--

As the gate to the underworld made a sound effect, the spirit of Garula also appeared.

The battle ended quickly. With the joint efforts of Li Ye and Gilgamesh, the Garula spirits couldn't even last a minute.

"Hahahaha, this is ridiculous. At this point, the ruler of the mountain country Attala is no match for Uruk!"

Gilgamesh laughed loudly and said, "Liye, you did a great job. You are worthy of being the knight of the king."

This was also the first time that Gilgamesh fought side by side with Li Ye, which allowed Gilgamesh to truly see Li Ye's qualities as a warrior.

very nice!

Passing through the third door again, the familiar light came again.

Ishtar, who was one size smaller, appeared in front of everyone. Gilgamesh couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Doctor Roman, don't you have anything to record? Something that makes a click, something that can make a click!"

"I already told you, feel sad for me!"

The angry Ishtar directly crashed into Gilgamesh. Her force was so strong that it knocked Gilgamesh off the narrow cliff and fell into the abyss below!

Snapped!

Liye and Mashu, who were quick-eyed and quick-handed, acted at the same time and pulled Gilgamesh back.

Gilgamesh, still in shock, shouted, "What are you doing, idiot! The impact was incredible! If it weren't for Liye and Mashu, I would have fallen into the abyss!"

"If a large cat hits you with the momentum of a large truck, you will definitely fall off."

Li Ye estimated the force of Ishtar's collision, which was enough to knock a person into the mud.

But this is just a small matter. Li Ye is more curious about the abyss that Gilgamesh mentioned.

"King Gilgamesh, there is something called the Abyss beneath the underworld?"

"Yes, the Mesopotamian world is made up of heaven and earth, this underworld below, and the abyss even deeper."

Gilgamesh said calmly: "The so-called abyss is the sea of ​​nothingness. The gods Abzu and Tiamat walked out of that dark sea and created the world of Mesopotamia.

To put it simply, it is the sea of ​​dawn before the birth of life, and now that the god Enki who manages the abyss has disappeared, once you fall into the abyss, you really can’t get out.”

Hearing this, Li Ye subconsciously looked at the endless darkness.

The place where the goddess Tiamat walked out, the Sea of ​​Dawn.

"Is this the place where King Gilgamesh was looking for the herb of immortality?"

Mashu, who had a wealth of knowledge, smiled and said, "Speaking of the underworld, I heard that the hero Enkidu also has a close relationship with the underworld. I remember that Enkidu was ordered by King Gilgamesh to go to the underworld and report the situation there, right?"

"------"

Gilgamesh continued to smile, but he didn't seem to be planning to answer Mash's question.

Seeing this, Ishtar, who was eager to watch the fun, said with a smile: "Mashu, you are quite clear about this, but the truth is even more hopeless~

Actually, it was about the golden king who was obsessed with new inventions and held banquets for three consecutive days and nights.

Ereshkigal, who was furious at the noise, slightly opened the gate to the underworld, but the king was already drunk and accidentally dropped his instrument into the hole. He was so panicked that I had never seen him before!"

"As a result, Enkidu, who couldn't bear it any longer, offered to go to the underworld himself. After seeing what was happening in the underworld, he performed courtesy to Ereshkigal and returned to the earth."

“Damn it, it’s all because of you saying [There’s a snake in the Hapru tree~~save me]!

If I hadn't cut down that tree, there wouldn't be any musical instruments!"

Gilgamesh retorted.

"In that case, did Mr. Enkidu have any contact with Ereshkigal?"

Mashu was surprised.

"That's right. Although that guy hated Ishtar, he treated Ereshkigal with courtesy. It was Ereshkigal who accepted Enkidu's body. After all, the remains of the divine weapon cannot be left on the ground. He thought that if he placed it in the underworld, it would not be touched by anyone and would rest in peace. But -"

"The power of the goddess Tiamat, which even the underworld could not stop, caused Enkidu's body to restart and become Kingu."
