Chapter 80: Matthew
Seeing that Matthew was unscathed, Ishtar was immediately hit hard.
Although this situation was expected, it was quite frustrating when it actually happened right in front of my eyes.
Confirming that the enemy attack was over, Matthew leaned forward and charged towards Cúchulainn.
Seeing his opponent coming towards him, Cú Chulainn lowered his body with his spear and then rushed forward like a predatory beast.
The ultra-high speed of the two sides made the already short distance even more fleeting.
Matthew swung his shield and slammed it into Cú Chulainn's head with a ferocious wind, who was deliberately waiting for the other to strike first.
As soon as Matthew swung his shield, Cú Chulainn jumped up, dodged the attack in a dangerous position, and then stepped heavily on Matthew's shield.
In Cú Chulainn's prediction, Matthew's shield would be controlled by him stepping directly on the ground.
But something unexpected happened, Matthew's shield was not caught by Cú Chulainn's foot.
Her slender arms actually directly supported the strength of Cú Chulainn's kick!
"What!"
Seeing that the shield was not stepped on, Cú Chulainn couldn't help but exclaim, in his expectation, this should not be.
Just as Cú Chulainn had not stepped on that kick, the wielding of the shield was not hindered in any way.
The shield was not stepped on, which directly caused Cúthalyn to lose his stable focus and also caused his center of gravity to be unbalanced.
"Oops!"
The center of gravity is out of balance, which is undoubtedly one of the worst situations in a fight.
Ishtar, who was flying in the sky, naturally noticed Cúchulainn's situation, and she decisively raised her hand at Mathieu and fired a restraining magic cannon to cover Cúchulainn.
The arrival of the magic cannon discouraged Matthew's intention to pursue, and Cú Chulainn also took the opportunity to retreat and adjust his state.
After the adjustments, Cúthalyn rejoined the fray, and Ishtar stopped firing the magic cannon and saw the opportunity to come to the rescue.
Just when the three of them were fighting fiercely, a sky above the temple group, a flying fortress suddenly appeared there, followed by the Great Composite Temple of Radiance.
The temple slammed down, and the violent tremors immediately interrupted their battle, and also woke up Fujimaru Rika, who had fallen into a semi-coma.
After waking up, Rika Fujimaru also immediately rushed to the place where the three of them were fighting.
"Mr. Cúchulainn, Miss Ishtar."
When the two of them heard the sound, they turned their heads and saw Fujimaru Rika rushing towards them, and Cúchulainn immediately retreated to her side, and Ishtar kept an eye on Matthew from above to prevent her from sneaking up.
And the latter showed no signs of continuing the battle at this time, turning around and walking towards the central temple.
Watching Matthew walk away, Ishtar also relaxed slightly, but Rika Fujimaru was in a hurry.
She tried to catch up, but was stopped by Cúchulainn.
"Don't go, danger."
"But ......"
The anxious Fujimaru Rika saw Cúchulainn's serious and calm face, and quickly calmed down and began to think about the current situation, and after some thought, she dispelled the idea of catching up.
Seeing that she had dispelled her thoughts, Cú Chulainn stopped stopping her.
Ishtar fell down to Fujimaru Rika and asked with concern, "Hey, Ritsuka, how are you feeling now?" Does it still hurt? ”
"I'm all right, Miss Ishtar."
Rika Fujimaru smiled at Ishtar and said, "I feel good now, the auto-adjustment function of the exoskeleton is working properly, and I can continue to fight." ”
"In addition......"
The girl lowered her head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't help in the battle just now, and I was forced to quit the field at the beginning." ”
"It's all right, little girl."
Cú Chulainn comforted her: "In the face of an opponent of that level, it is normal that you can't beat her, and even I can't do anything about her." ”
"You see, even I'm wearing a lot of colors."
Hearing what Ku Chulainn said, Fujimaru Rika noticed that there were a lot of blood stains on his body, and he seemed to be seriously injured.
She was about to say something, when Cu Chulainn said, "But don't worry, taking advantage of the time that this goddess has bought for me, I have already healed my wounds with the rune of Rune." ”
Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart finally let go.
Then she turned to Ishtar and thanked her, "Thank you, Miss Ishtar, for your willingness to assist me and heal my wounds. ”
"These are the little things." Ishtar waved his hand indifferently and said, "You have helped me anyway, and this goddess will not forget." ”
"What's more, if it's just me, I shouldn't be able to defeat that Avenger, and if we don't get rid of that servant, we won't be able to move forward."
"That's right."
"But then again, Ritsuka."
"Hmm."
"That friend of yours, his strength is really strong, I and Cú Chulainn will be suppressed by her together, what kind of monster-level strength is this."
Ishtar bit his thumb.
"Such a terrifying power, but I didn't feel the divinity from her, can I get this far by relying on the power of non-gods?"
"It does ......"
Fujimaru Rika thought for a moment and said, "Compared with the previous Matthew, the current Matthew is indeed incredible. ”
"So, do you know anything about why she's become so strong? Little girl. ”
The girl obviously hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know very well about this, I only know what she is polluted by, and as for what the source of the pollution is, I don't know." ”
"Contaminated by unknown causes."
Cú Chulainn began to wonder what could make people so strong through pollution.
"On this topic, I thought, there should be a way for someone to give us an answer."
"Who?"
The two turned their heads to look at Ishtar.
"Asclepius, the great hero of Greece, the crew of the Argo, the god of medicine who developed the resurrection potion."
"As long as we take that friend of yours...... It seems to be called Matthew, tie Matthew to that guy's operating table, there should be a way. ”
"Asclepius, the god of medicine......"
Cú Chulainn thought for a moment and said, "I decided that it would work, and that man should be able to do it." ”
"Since it is Miss Ishtar's recommended candidate, then I believe Miss Ishtar."
"Huh?"
Ishtar was a little surprised and said, "Do you believe me like that?" ”
"Of course, not only because of the name of Asclepius, the god of medicine, but also because I believe in Miss Ishtar's character."
"So, no problem."
"Uh...... This. ”
The goddess's face turned red instantly, and then quickly returned to normal and said, "Since you believe me, then it's decided." ”
"So," Cu Chulainn asked, "where is the god of medicine now?" ”
"Well." Ishtar thought for a moment and said, "He should be in the central temple now, after all, he is a member of our infiltration group." ”
Ishtar then explained to the two of them their battle plan.
After listening to Ishtar's description, Fujimaru Rikaju's battle plan seems to be summed up, that is: you drag, I steal the tower.
But she complained a little in her heart, but she didn't say it.
After that, the three of them waited for the shaking to end, and although they would not be afraid of such a shock under their conditions, it was better to wait, and there was nothing urgent.
