The sharp pain made Ichilra grunt, and he quickly retreated backward. Before Bai Ye could get closer, Ichilra crossed his hands and slammed them onto the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Ichilra reached out, took out a scroll, unrolled it, and said, "Silver Fox!"
With a bang, a large cloud of white mist exploded from the scroll.
In the next instant, a giant silver fox appeared before Bai Ye's eyes.
Ichilra spoke, "Kill him!"
The white fox immediately bared its fangs and claws towards Bai Ye, lunging to bite him, but...
*Puff!*
The moment the white fox lowered its head!
Bai Ye swept out with the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand. Golden sword energy soared, striking the white fox's shoulder, drawing blood that splattered.
Bai Ye stepped forward and suddenly swung his sword.
As the Xuanyuan Sword swept to the side, the white fox's front leg was instantly severed.
A pained howl erupted. The white fox fell to its side, hitting the ground heavily, and then with a "bang," it dissolved into white smoke and vanished.
Seeing this, Ichilra was greatly alarmed. His hands moved alternately, quickly forming hand seals.
"Fire Style, Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Ichilra took a deep breath, placed his hands by his mouth, and then blew out a massive fireball that advanced towards Bai Ye.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Ye's body was completely engulfed by the fireball.
Ichilra lowered his hand and looked at the direction of the fireball.
Was his attack effective?
Bai Ye didn't seem to be able to emerge from the fiery inferno immediately.
But at this moment...
Suddenly, an arm shot out from the flames, grasping Ichilra by the throat.
The surrounding flames dispersed, and Bai Ye revealed himself, smiling at Ichilra, "Sorry, fire doesn't work on me!"
*Boom!*
In the next instant, the flames in Bai Ye's hand exploded.
Amidst the roar of the explosion, Ichilra was blown away.
In that moment, Ichilra not only felt the searing pain but also felt as if several of his bones had broken from the impact of the explosion. His entire body was in agony.
"Berserker..." Ichilra shouted loudly as Bai Ye approached, "Save me!"
Heracles was also locked in a difficult battle, his body covered in countless wounds.
However, upon hearing Ichilra's plea, he immediately abandoned Gilgamesh, smashed through a wall, and rushed towards Ichilra.
And at that very moment...
Bai Ye's Xuanyuan Sword struck down again. Golden sword energy tore through the air, and as it was about to hit Ichilra, Heracles suddenly burst out from the side.
*Puff!*
The golden sword energy struck Heracles's chest, and a large amount of blood instantly erupted.
The gaping wound was horrific, extending from Heracles's shoulder to his waist, deep enough to see bone, incredibly gruesome.
*Thump!*
Heracles knelt on the ground, his hands drooping, and lost all signs of life.
"Get up, get up..." Ichilra yelled, "You won't die, kill them all!"
Following Ichilra's shout.
Heracles, whose eyes had been closed, suddenly snapped them open, glowing with a crimson light.
"Ah!"
Heracles roared, raising his axe blade, about to strike towards Bai Ye.
"Chains of Heaven!"
Gilgamesh's voice rang out, followed by the sound of dragging chains.
Countless chains surged from all directions towards Heracles, quickly wrapping around his figure and binding him firmly.
Then...
*Puff, puff, puff...*
The King's Treasure was activated again. Numerous weapons flew from behind, piercing Heracles's body repeatedly, instantly pinning him down.
*Roar!*
Heracles raised his head high, letting out a roar.
Simultaneously, blood gushed from Heracles's mouth, dyeing his body red.
Heracles fell silent, but...
The Noble Phantasm "Twelve Labors" activated, and soon, Heracles's body revived. The light that had dimmed in his eyes reignited.
However...
A chain, like a venomous snake, wrapped around Heracles's neck. The instant he tried to struggle...
*Crack!*
The chain tightened, until Heracles's head was snapped, emitting a bone-cracking sound.
Gilgamesh walked over with a cold smile and reached into the golden curtain of light blooming behind him, taking out a silver holy spear and pointing it at Heracles's heart.
"Ants will always be ants," Gilgamesh declared. "What if you have twelve lives? I'll just kill you twelve times!"
The moment Gilgamesh finished speaking, Heracles revived again, his eyes once more emitting red light.
But this time, Gilgamesh didn't even give Heracles a chance to struggle.
*Puff!*
Gilgamesh thrust the holy spear in his hand forward, piercing Heracles's heart and sending him away once more.
Gilgamesh smiled contemptuously, "I've already killed you five times."
As Gilgamesh spoke, the surrounding Chains of Heaven trembled. Heracles revived again and struggled once more, but...
*Puff, puff, puff...*
Golden ripples spread behind Gilgamesh, and countless weapons shot out, continuously embedding themselves into Heracles's body.
The immense force even sent Heracles flying backward, crashing into the wall and being impaled there by a pile of weapons.
Gilgamesh declared, "That's six times!"
Revival, death, revival, death...
Gilgamesh, consumed by rage, was terrifying.
Arrogant, capricious, moody...
Gilgamesh's temper was evidently quite foul. He might spare someone if he was in a good mood, or he might go all out to execute someone if he was in a bad mood.
Yes, execute!
The current situation had long surpassed the realm of battle; it was a one-sided execution by Gilgamesh!
The seventh time, the eighth time, the ninth time, the tenth time, the eleventh time...
Heracles had no power to resist, his chances of revival constantly being taken away.
His body was already covered in wounds and blood.
Gilgamesh sneered, "You have one life left!"
Ichilra finally felt the terror and shouted loudly at Heracles, "Hold them off, Berserker, you must hold them off and stall for me to escape!"
Gilgamesh looked at Heracles, who had once again opened his eyes, with a mocking gaze. "Is that your Master?"
