Dragon of the Root - Chapter 991: Assassin

Chapter 991: Assassin

Gudako and the others had most likely returned to Eridu City, but didn’t know how the casualties were.

However, Wu Ming couldn’t go straight to Eridu yet.

“Wait me here.”

Wu Ming advised, jumped over the forest and headed for the battlefield.

And Humbaba who nodded “understood”, boredly found a rock that wasn’t too bad, climbed up, and rested.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Ming came to this battlefield.

Wu Ming frowned when he sensed the Demon Beast commander through spiritual power earlier, all because he found traces of abnormality in the Demon Beast commander’s wounds.

It was this anomaly that made Wu Ming not choose to go straight to Eridu.

Wu Ming didn’t care about other Demon Beasts, but went straight to the corpse of the Demon Beast commander.

After examining the Demon Beast corpse again, Wu Ming discovered that there was a death mark in the wound on the corpse’s head.

This aura was very similar to the aura of the underworld, and Wu Ming, who had just left the underworld, would not admit he was wrong.

At this time Wu Ming made an assessment.

“This Demon Beast Commander was cut with a sword.”

And since he could cut off his head with a single sword, and there was a death mark on his wound, only that person could do it.

“Old Man of the Mountain – Hassan-i-Sabbah.”

Although there are many Hasan, none other than First Hassan has the qualifications to hold the title of Grand Assassin.

Wu Ming was stabbed by that person. It was normal to see that the sword was from First Hassan so easily.

No matter who First Hassan slashes, it must be remembered…

“Now that he’s here, I can breathe a sigh of relief.”

Although First Hassan was a bit exaggerated, he was indeed not an ordinary person, he only appeared from the killing, and Wu Ming did not dare to look at each other.

In addition, Merlin, Gilgamesh, Zhuge Kongming and Roman in Chaldea are four think tanks, Wu Ming need not worry too much.

“Go straight to Eridu.” Gudako and the others weren’t here, and Wu Ming didn’t need to continue using Humbaba.

After Wu Ming finished, he opened the Gate and entered.

At the same time, a huge Gate suddenly appeared under Humbaba who was resting on a rock, and Humbaba, who had not checked for a while, fell straight into it.

“Woooo!!”

The Gate closed suddenly, and Humbaba’s shocked scream echoed through the dense forest.

…

Near the city of Eridu, Feathered Serpent God.

One or two Gates opened, Wu Ming came out of the Gate, and Humbaba fell from the large horizontal Gate.

“Boom——” Humbaba hit the ground causing a loud noise, and the residents of Eridu City thought there was an earthquake.

“Woooooo~~~~” Humbaba lay on the ground, howling in a weeping voice, rubbing his head against Wu Ming, as if he fell and injured him.

Yet others didn’t know about Humbaba, so how could Wu Ming not understand? Humbaba didn’t take any damage, it was just thrown at Wu Ming in shock.

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Humbaba.” Wu Ming stroked Humbaba’s head while apologizing in a cute tone.

But not actually using it, Humbaba immediately stood up, giving the impression that he had fully answered.

“Hah!? Isn’t this Lord Dragon Sage!?” At this moment, the Jaguar Man who suddenly appeared from the haystack looked at Wu Ming and Humbaba with a sand-like expression.

Wu Ming was not surprised when Jaguar Man came to greet him, the movement caused by Humbaba falling from the Gate to the ground was not bad.

Jaguar Man with intuition that surpasses Demon Beast, it is impossible to find boredom. Besides, Jaguar Man is “alive and active”, she must have come to meet Wu Ming and Humbaba.

“Jaguar Man, is Fujimaru Ritsu still here?” Wu Ming asked briefly without speaking nonsense to Jaguar Man.

“Ahh~ that~ she’s gone, heading east.”

Jaguar Man pointed east, and there was a hint of solemnity under his eyes that looked like a sand sculpture.

It seems that Jaguar Man intuitively senses danger.

“What about Quetzalcoatl?”

The movement caused by the Goddess Tiamat, Wu Ming couldn’t believe that Quetzalcoatl couldn’t feel it.

“Quetzalcoatl just left, she went to meet Fujimaru Ritsu.”

A familiar light voice came from the other side of Wu Ming.

Wu Ming turned his head to look, it was Anna as expected.

But the difference is, this time Anna seemed to be wearing something similar to a bandage wrapped around her hand, not only that, Anna’s head scarf was no longer worn.

“Kuku was worried about Fujiwara Ritsu, so she rushed to help, oooo~~”

Ignoring Jaguar Man, Wu Ming walked towards Anna.

“Anna, are you okay?”

Faced with Wu Ming’s worries, Anna shook her head.

“When dealing with Mušḫuššu, I accidentally did not sustain a minor injury, and I have almost recovered.”

Mušḫuššu? It was probably the name of the Demon Beast commander who was beheaded by the sword.

And the reason why Anna stayed here was probably to recover from her injuries.

Immediately after, Anna continued to speak.

“Merlin asked me to wait for you here. He’s in a hurry, I hope you can make a judgment based on this. Anna took out a clay tablet from under the robe.

It turned out not only to recover from injuries, but also to deliver letters.

Wu Ming took it and found that the clay tablet was empty, not only that, but also covered with a strong illusion, and if someone forced it, that person would fall into the illusion.

“Merlin….” Wu Ming was a little speechless, this was just an exaggeration, Merlin always liked to work hard on unnecessary things.

Several runes were inserted into this clay tablet by Wu Ming like a password, the illusion on it disappeared suddenly, and the clay tablet was still empty.

But then, a few words appeared directly in Wu Ming’s mind, and he also closed his eyes involuntarily.

In the next second, the clay tablet in Wu Ming’s hand turned into loess and sprinkled.

Anna was silent and waited quietly for Wu Ming’s “digestion”, but Jaguar Man and Humbaba stupidly mixed into one.

In an instant, Wu Ming opened his eyes.

“Let’s go back to Uruk.” This is Wu Ming’s judgment.

Anna nodded silently. However Merlin asked her to listen to Wu Ming’s words. Although Anna didn’t want to listen to Merlin’s words, after all Wu Ming was a reliable person, so she could only do it halfway.

Hearing Wu Ming’s words, Humbaba also kicked Jaguar Man and ran to Wu Ming’s side, fully realizing that he was always on standby.

“Then I will go to Uruk together!” Jaguar Man put his hands on his hips, showing a pair of inexplicable pride.

Wu Ming looked at Jaguar Man with disdain, but he decided to take Jaguar Man with him.

She’s a goddess after all, even if she’s not as good as Quetzalcoatl, Ishtar, and the others, she’ll still play the part, right?

However at this moment, Wu Ming suddenly realized that a large amount of magic power that made him feel nauseous was moving towards the city of Eridu.

Wu Ming has bad luck
