Chapter 348: A Hopeless Battle For... (3)

—

Neji took care of Mordred in under a few minutes. In that short time, the war at the gate of Uruk had progressed quite a bit.

The big battles against Sir Tristan and Sir Lancelot were still going strong, but the soldiers' side was nearly ending. The Hollow Armor soldiers were stronger than the Babylon soldiers on average, however, the Babylon soldiers had three strong leaders leading them.

So not only did that balance things out, the Babylonians actually had an upper hand.

The 500 number of the hollow soldiers had come down to nearly 100. While the Babylon side only lost half a dozen.

– Klink!

"Impressive."

On the other hand, Mash was going strong against Sir Lancelot. In the canon timeline, she had defeated Lancelot on her own—though it was worth noting that Lancelot wasn't going all out against her due to recognizing her shield that once belonged to his son.

In this timeline, though Lancelot still recognized that Mash, in a way, had half of his son's soul—he didn't hold back. Because he knew he couldn't be defeated if he wanted the world to live. So the chance of Mash losing was high.

Thankfully, Mash also had a benefit unlike the cannon timeline. In the form of Leonardo da Vinci who was aiding her in this battle. Though the universal genius wasn't much of a fighter, she could use her invented gadgets and magic to at least help Mash from the side.

Still, it didn't look like the battle would end anytime soon.

"Watch out for your openings...!"

On another part of the battlefield, Jaguarman yelled as she leaped to dodge an incoming magic projectile. That side of the battlefield was filled with musical tones as Sir Tristan played music in his lyre-like bow. Each time he stroked a string of the bow, it shot out mana bolts of great speed.

Jaguarman wasn't physically that strong—but her Tier 10 was focused on her speed. A jaguar, while not as fast as a cheetah, was still one of the faster cat types. So she could dodge the bolts that easily broke the sound barrier.

"Akk-!"

"Are you all right?"

"I-I am... Keep going!"

Someone who did have trouble against those beams, though, was Jaguarman's current partner. Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The red-haired Godako was Tier-3 when she first came to this world, but thanks to Neji's [Sage Seal] her base stat increased to Tier-6. In her hybrid dragon form, she was Tier-10.

A dragon was an all-rounder creature, and in hybrid form, it was fast too. But still, Fujimaru couldn't dodge all the incoming projectiles. Some of the elongated mana bullets hit her, piercing her in and out, causing her expression to twist in pain. At the same time, she could heal right away and continue fighting.

"I am good now. Let's push him."

In truth, the wielder of [Sage Seals] could be considered half-a-Neji's Avatar. It was similar to the three girls from back then, in the Nawab battle, when Neji used his temporary God Authority to grant the girls his abilities—using the authority to choose three [Avatars].

With the Sage Seal, however, he could 'bless' multiple people a part of his Dragon power—without losing any power himself.

What this allowed was that the pseudo-Avatars like Fujimaru could collect faith points for him.
