329: Annihilation and Revelation

Chapter 329: Annihilation and Revelation

—

Far from Ur, in Uruk, Neji was getting busy in the early morning. It was a demonic beast attack.

He didn't need sleep, but he took a nap anyway since Salia fell asleep with him. He was woken up by a blushing Siduri; she screamed that it was an emergency and action needed to be taken.

Gilgamesh didn't take part in this sort of fights, his Mana was required to be preserved for any greater threat. He just ordered the actions needed to be taken, and his soldiers followed those orders. Each demonic beast was weak enough to be taken down by a group of soldiers, and that's usually what happened in these attacks, as it happened nearly every day.

"Not today," Neji said as he flew to the battlefield himself, floating over the border of Uruk, and multiplying with Omnipresence. "Everyone back off, I will take over for today."

At this side of the border that was being attacked, countless Nejis appeared hovering over it. A second later, Sisty flew to his side and began to multiply himself.

"I can take care of this myself," Neji said.

"I know, I just wanna know what it feels like to shoot lasers from my eyes." Sisty argued.

"Fair," Neji shrugged. "You take the left, the right is all mine."

Sisty nodded, and her eyes focused on the thousands of demonic beasts running at them. As the beasts approached the borders, as they passed an imaginary line, both of them activated [Dark Vision]. As it was a part of his Void-Mancer Class, it wasn't affected by the debuff, and therefore shot out in full power. Two thin beams of void laser left the eyes of both Neji and Sisty and their Omnipresent copies.

– Shiinggg!

Even the ground was cut, the monsters shriveled into pieces, as the beams moved in lines to slice everything into a mess. The monsters didn't stop their surge, they were mindless artificial beasts, so they continued running towards the borders, to their deaths where the beams cut them into a million parts.

– Shiinggg! – Shiinggg! – Shiinggg!

The sound of sharp energy cutting through wet flesh along with the smell of burnt meat—both filled the area as Neji and Sisty brought hell to the face of earth.

While the Goddesses were busy in Ur, Salia just woke up in the bed of the King back in Uruk.

Rubbing her eyes as sunlight washed over her face, Salia yawned and then froze. The reality that this was Neji's bedroom, and the scent of sex, blinded her senses for a split second.

"...Greatest night ever." Salia admitted with a small blush. "Ahm, where is Neji now?"

– Shiinggg!

Salia abruptly turned to a distant noise. As the windows of this room were huge, she could see the borders that circled this city. Her eyes shone and widened at the scene that was happening there.

Dark lines of energy shot outwards from the eyes of hundreds of Nejis who were floating above the border. Hotter than a laser, all the beams cut through whatever that was on the other side of the border, as screams of pain and grief filled the sky.

It all lasted just a minute; the screams and all else died out and the Nejis stopped their beams. Smoke came out of their eyes, visible from even this far, and slowly all the clones merged together, like a mirage, which left only two of them.

"...."

Salia took a deep breath and released it. She really scored out her luck with this, didn't she? Such a godly man…

"Ah wait," Salia suddenly blinked. "Rushd! I was supposed to return to him!"

With a facepalm, Salia got up and ran. Then she realized the stench around her body and rushed to the bathroom instead. Only after that did she return to see her son.

"This is surprising," Neji said after finishing all the demonic beasts. "Did you not know about this, Sisty?"

"Nope," Sisty shook her head and moved closer to him to look into the golden system screen he was looking into. "But it's a good thing. This should at least fix a bit of your current problems."

Below them, as they stood on top of Uruk's borders, countless demonic beasts laid dead with smoke coming out of their remnants. It was beyond their bodily capabilities to hold against the [Dark Vision] of Neji and his female clone.

There were a total of 2564 demonic beasts that attacked today. Neji and Sisty killed them all, and due to Sisty's special connection to the system, all her kills were considered to be Neji's.

"You gained 21 levels from this," Sisty said. "These Demonic Beasts are just overgrown Lions, normal human soldiers can beat them, so it's not a surprise that their Tier is so low, and therefore the EXP they give is also low."

"But that's now the point here, is it?"

"It's not," Sisty shook her head and looked at the text floating in front of Neji. "As you were at Level 2000 before this fight, every 20 Levels is equivalent to 1% of my original Level. However, since you are sealed a whole 90% by the Grail, so you were equivalent to Level 200 before this battle. With 21 more levels, you're 10% stronger than before. That alone is a good thing, but on top of that, you now have this–"

[Ding! Due to leveling up, the 90% Debuff has been lowered to 89%!]

"That means, in total, you are 2% stronger than before. Which is pretty large for you who's at the two thousand level." Sisty said. "More than that, since monsters of this amount will attack every day for the next two months, until Tiamat comes, you'll be able to get off 60% of the debuff even before it's naturally lifted. That, when added up by the additional 60% that just leveling up will bring, I think will make up for the 30% debuff that'll remain at the end."

"Yeah, and I can always kill some Servants in Camelot," Neji said. "So even that 30% shouldn't exist by the end of Camelot." He pulled her closer by her waist and smiled at the morning horizon. "Things should be manageable at this rate. Truthfully, I was a little worried about this whole ordeal, but this is a pretty nice revelation."

"Yeah," Sisty put a hand around him too. "Nicer than last night?"

"Oh come on, she's just a human, I had to keep up together by actively pumping mana and divinity into her to keep her from dying. It wasn't that fun," He twisted her body around and pulled her face closer. "You, though, I imagine will give me a feeling better than any other one."

"Except I don't want to do it in the body of a shadow clone," Sisty smiled and said. "Give me a proper body, will you?"

"After I find all my girls," Neji released her. "I will probably make something similar to a Spirit Body, while you're both solid yet a soul. So that you can keep living in my head until whenever you come out. Until then, you stay like this."

"Bummer," Sisty shrugged and looked at the horizon with him. "They're fighting. Can you see them?"

"I can?" with his Jogan activated, Neji said. "The results are as expected. Jaguar is… stronger than I expected. Tier 10. But Ishtar is Tier 12, and at this moment she is stronger since the people of Ur are praying for her to win. Their faith is strengthening her, and she is naturally winning."

"That's that," Sisty turned off her own Jogan and looked at Neji. "What's after Jaguar? What do we do?"

Neji turned off his Jogan too and said. "Quetzalcoatl will come to take back Jaguar. She is stronger than I am at the moment, but it shouldn't be a problem. I will take her down with my Divinity – [Dragon Domain]."

One of the two divinities Neji got after the 4th Great Ninja War, this was it. It should give him a relatively easier win when activated against Quetzalcoatl, who's a Dragon. Though the truth of that thought process remains untested, since she was no mere God nor a mere dragon, but Gods of Dragon.

"Anyway, it's finished here." Neji turned around to look at the countless soldiers on top of and below the borders, all giving him awed looks. "Get out of here, go take a rest, and prepare for tomorrow."

After another second of awed silence, everyone yelled in cheer-! This was their King, the man who even Gods feared.
