Warrior King of Land of Shadows

Chapter 5

Two days have passed, when group from Chaldea got over their shock to hear that Naruto is Grand Servant, everyone were thinking of how to slow Tiamat down who travelled by turning sea into black corrupted mud. Ereshkigal told them that she could connect underworld with Uruk, but she needed three days of which two days has passed and now today was last day. But their misfortune, Tiamat was close. 

Now we can find them in ziggurat thinking of how to slow her down. Today was last day for their plan to work, but even if Tiamat was slow, she would arrive before they put their plan in action.

''Those legs may be too thin to support that giant body, we should assume that Tiamat could only walk on the black mud.'' Said Gilgamesh looking at 3D projection of Tiamat. 

''In other words, that black mud is path for Tiamat to travel.'' Said Romani.

When Romani said that soldier came running in and said ''My King, I have a report. The south observation post estimate eight more hours until Tiamat reaches Uruk!''

Gilgamesh hummed little and then said to man next to him ''General, take fifty elites from wall! We must destroy those legs even if by brute for--'', there she was interrupted by Quetzalcoatl who said ''There's no need for that!''

Gilgamesh looked at Quetzalcoatl who had smile on her face and Quetzalcoatl then continued ''My Noble Phantasm is strong enough to clear a perimeter of the black mud around Tiamat.''

''Oh, you had that!'' Said Jaguar Warrior.

When she said that Gudao, Gudako and servants from Chaldea were confused.

''That?'' Asked Gudao.

And in that moment both Gudao and Gudako realised what they were talking about.

''You mean--'' Gudako was saying but was interupted by Quetzalcoatl who said ''Yes! The Sun Stone that was at the altar in Eridu!'' and then continued ''It's really good thing that you refused to destroy it.''

''Can we trust you with this?'' Asked Naruto looking at Quetzalcoatl with Gilgamesh.

''Si, but-'' Quetzalcoatl was saying, but was interupted by Ishtar who said ''There's the risk of staying close to Mother to continually provide Magical Energy while holding Lahmu back.''

''Right. It's terribly dangerous.'' Said Quetzalcoatl closing her eyes.

But then everyone heard Gudao who said ''All right! Let's do it!'' making everyone smile.

And then Naruto tapped floor down with his spear and said ''If that's been decided, all what we need to now is to act! Everyone hurry and begin with preparations! Let's show these beasts what can we do!'' on which everyone together said ''Roger!'' and left ziggurat leaving Gilgamesh and Naruto alone.

Timeskip

We can see Gudao, Gudako, Mash, Quetzalcoatl and Ishtar flying towards location of Tiamat while servants from Chaldea, Naruto and Gilgamesh decided to stay back in case Lahmus appear in Uruk.

Then in that moment Ishtar said ''First wave incoming.'' and with that Lahmus attacked them.
Ishtar fired several blue beams of energy from her hand and said ''I've gotten tired of waiting! I'm heading out!'' and rushed towards Lahmus together with Quetzalcoatl who used her weapon and legs to give them strong kicks.

After two minutes they have passed first wave of Lahmus and continued towards Tiamat prepared for next wave.

In Chaldea

Woman in control room was confused when she saw what was happening on her screen and then she said ''New Spirit Origins signals seen on radar! Additionally, One... Two... Increasing further!''.

When that was said Romani let sweat drop from his face.

Back with group

''It's not good. You'll be surronded!'' Warned Romani through Gudao and Gudako's watch.

And in that moment something knocked off Gudao from reptile on which they were flying, but Mash and Gudako managed to catch his leg in time.

''They're coming again!'' Again warned Romani and with that Gudao dodged attack from Lahmu who went to kill him. And then they heard familiar voice.

''Oh how unfortunate!'' Said Ushiwakamaru who appeared behind them and went to attack them with her sword but her attack was blocked by Mash's shield and with that Gudao kicked reptile with his leg making it make fast spin to try and throw Ushiwakamaru from reptile. 

''What a sassy move!'' and then Quetzalcoatl throwed her weapon at Ushiwakamaru which she blocked and then said ''We don't have time to deal with you!'' and surrounded her fist in fire and swung it towards Lahmus in front of her and with that destroyed them, but one escaped and rushed towards Gudao, Gudako and Mash.

''Ishtar!'' Shouted Quetzalcoatl.

Ishtar blocked attack from one Lahmu and said ''I know already!'' and aimed with her fingers at that Lahmu who was close to Gudao, Gudako and Mash. Lahmu raised his pike just like Mash prepared her shield to block it, but in that moment Lahmu was destroyed by Ishtar.

''Ishtar-san!'' Said Mash with smile on her face which was lost when she saw Ushiwakamaru coming towards her with her blade ready to cut her. Mash put her hand in front of her, but then Ushiwakamaru went down with shocked look on her face and blood coming out of her mouth.

Then another reptile started to fly next to them and Gudao with smile said ''Benkei!'' seeing him.

''I apologize for my lateness! Allow me to take some responsibility for the crimes of my lord!'' Shouted Benkei.

And then everyone heard laughter coming from Ushiwakamaru who was on Lahmu's back and then she said ''Why are you here after so much has happened? Such foolhardy courage is unlike you, Hitachibou!'' 

Benkei on that just pulled sword from his back and said ''You were as free as storm. To be consumed with such anger...'' and with that Ushiwakamaru jumped towards Benkei and then they clashed with their swords making Ushiwakamaru jumping behind him.

''I cannot possibly bear it!'' Shouted Benkei

And with that they started to fight while Gudao, Gudako and Mash rushed towards Tiamat and then Mash put her shield in front of her and summoned big blue shield to protect them from Lahmus and then Ishtar flied towards them and slowed down little when she came next to them.

''What are you thinking? What are you doing?'' Shouted Ishtar.

''We're going to cut across! We don't have time to skirt around the pack while dealing with Ushiwaka!'' Said Gudako.

''Three kilometers to target!'' Said Romani and then continued ''Brace yourselves for Quetzalcoatl's unleashing of her Noble Phantasm!''

''Got i-'' Gudao was saying but was interrupted by shout of Ushiwakamaru who was coming towards them and swung down her sword, but was blocked by Mash's shield. She opened her mouth to say something, but was sent away by Quetzalcoatl who covered her fist in flames. 

Ushiwakamaru stopped herself in middle of flying and swung down with her sword at Quetzalcoatl which she dodged and once again sent her flying with this time making a hole in the swarm.

''Gudao, Gudako, this is goodbye now! Please supply me properly with Magical Energy!'' and with that she landed on back of her reptile who continued to fly forward while Gudao, Gudako and Mash's reptile stopped together with Ishtar.

But then they saw Benkei also continued forward and on that Gudao shouted ''Benkei! Don't, you'll also get caught in the blast! 

''BENKEIII!'' Gudako was shouting, but Benkei ignored them with his head down and then he heard Quetzalcoatl saying ''I appreciate you guarding me, but I'll incinerate you along with everything else.'' 

Benkei looked at her and said ''I couldn't ask for better!'' making Quetzalcoatl smile little, but then lost it when she saw Ushiwakamaru not far away from them.

Benkei then shouted ''Leave this to me!'' and went towards Ushiwakamaru with his reptile. They jumped towards each other and clashed with their swords and in that moment Quetzalcoatl started to activate her Noble Phantasm.

Then they saw that Tiamat has fallen down.

''Tiamat has stopped!'' Said Gudao with smile on his face, but then everyone saw that Tiamat started to change. Giant wings appeared on her back and started to get up.

''Is she trying to get up?'' Asked Ishtar and then continued ''I thought she was unable to support her own weight!''

When she completely stood up Gudako asked shocked ''Sh-She can fly?''

''No way! That's impossible! Mother is a goddess of Earth! She shouldn't be able to approach the heavens!'' Shouted Ishtar.

''The fact that she can fly also means that she won't fall in underworld either!'' Said Mash but then everyone heard Quetzalcoatl saying something.

And when they were able to see again, they were shocked with what they saw.

Tiamat was still standing.

''This can't be, even with attack of that caliber, we still can't reach her.'' Said Mash.

Gudao closed his eyes and shouted ''RETREAT!'' and they all prepared to leave, but then Tiamat started to roar making earth rise. Tiamat continued forward but then someone appeared for which they thought that she died.

''Gorgon!'' Shouted Gudako.
