Dragon of the Root

Chapter 931: Missed Opportunity

After Wu Ming finished Enkidu's investigation, he came to the land of the underworld along the land that Ishtar had previously blown up.

Forget the fake Enkidu, Gudako, Mashu and the others are still on the ground. Even though Merlin was there, they wouldn't let Gudako and Mashu go to the underworld to find him, but they definitely wouldn't go, maybe still waiting for him nearby.

In any case have to go up and say hello first, and make the journey back to Uruk.

Moreover Wu Ming had not returned to Uruk after returning to Mesopotamia, so it would be best to report to Gilgamesh about Enkidu.

Standing on the edge of the crumbling earth, Wu Ming looked back at the giant hole that had collapsed behind him and nodded.

"This will prevent the Demon Beasts from coming here." It was a pleasant surprise too.

After all the surrounding area has collapsed, so that the Demon Beasts cannot choose to enter the underworld and then climb up, it is the same as provoking Ereshkigal, and they will definitely be killed.

While Wu Ming was speaking, a girl's excited voice came from a distance behind him.

"Asaassin!?"

Wu Ming turned his head and saw Gudako running and waving to himself, followed by a panicked Mashu.

"Senpai, please slow down!?" For a while, Mashu who was a Servant, couldn't catch up to Gudako, who was an ordinary human.

Coming to where Wu Ming was approaching, Gudako flew towards Wu Ming in one leap.

Wu Ming quickly opened his arms and took a few steps forward to firmly catch Gudako.

"Assassins!? Are you okay!?" Gudako looked worried.

But Wu Ming patted Gudako's little head.

"If you're so impatient, I'll be fine."

"Senpaiha~ha~ha~"

Mashu who came to the two of them, was panting and looking a bit uncomfortable.

Because she wanted to chase after Gudako too much, Mashu didn't take a breath at all.

"Look at the anxious Mashu, don't do this next time."

At this time Wu Ming let go of Gudako, came to Mashu's back and rubbed his back, poured his own magic into Mashu's body, and dispelled fatigue.

"Sorry Mashu, I was in a hurry" Gudako also came and apologized to Mashu.

After she found out that Wu Ming's spirit base reaction appeared nearby, she immediately dashed towards him.

"Noit's alrightSenpaiI understandI understand that you're worriedVero senpai" Despite being relieved, Mashu was still gasping for air, and it seemed that she needed a little rest.

"Ritsu, you should calm down in the future. The Demon Beast Commander has fled. If you were so careless and let him ambush halfway, it would be troublesome."

Gudako really doesn't care about anything now. After getting the news that Wu Ming had appeared here, she immediately ran over. Mashu was also worried about Gudako's safety, so she was very out of breath.

"Don't worry about it, the Demon Beast commander is gone."

The voice came from behind Wu Ming, he turned his head and saw that it was Ishtar.

"Are you okay? That's good." Wu Ming nodded in a somewhat dull tone.

Ishtar knew very well what Wu Ming meant by "nothing happened", and Wu Ming meant that Ishtar was not ambushed by the Demon Beast commander.

Yet to know was to know, but Wu Ming's perfunctory appearance made Ishtar extremely displeased.

"You bastards! I'm still worried that Ereshkigal will imprison you in the underworld, and you expect something to happen to me!?"

Right now Ishtar was glaring at Wu Ming viciously like a cat with fur being blown by the wind.

"Ishtar was indeed ambushed by Basmu nearby, but since we were all stationed not far away, nothing happened to Ishtar." Mashu who was recovering his strength also started to explain.

"Huh! Who would have thought that man would hide in the ground, that something so big could actually be hidden."

Thinking of this, Ishtar became easily offended. It could be said that if there was no reminder from Wu Ming earlier, she might have been eaten by Basmu by now.

Devouring gods was a pretty big upgrade for a Demon Beast. It was also true that Ulidim wanted to devour Wu Ming, and no wonder Basmu would hide and wait.

"Sure enough, not all Demon Beast commanders are brainless." After all, those with no brains were probably near death, and the rest were probably wise men.

Wu Ming couldn't help but get serious.

"Sorry Ishtar, it was my fault, I should have let you go with me." Wu Ming really didn't expect that Basmu would actually lie down to ambush here, the reason why he said, "Demon Beasts might ambush" he just wanted to scare Ishtar and Gudako. After all, the Demon Beasts that fled in this situation would definitely choose to leave. As a result, Basmu chose to ambush.

It can only be said that Basmu is brave enough, assuming that Wu Ming and Ishtar are out together, and if Wu Ming finds out, Basmu will definitely follow Ugallu's footsteps today, he can't let the tiger return to the mountain.

Wu Ming really regretted why he didn't let Ishtar stay for a while...

Wu Ming's regretful expression turned to regret of being in danger in Ishtar's eyes, which left her at a loss for words for a while.

It was rare for Wu Ming to apologize to Ishtar in such a serious manner, one could say that such a situation was basically impossible.

Their relationship wasn't really that bad, but basically every time they saw each other, they had to sneer at each other, which would become routine.

Ishtar was also affected by this girl's body as a Pseudo-Servant this time, so she didn't fight much with Wu Ming. However Wu Ming was not a Pseudo-Servant and was unaffected, so it would be so easy to apologize?

This made Ishtar feel quite awkward, and now, she too began to speak awkwardly.

"Um uh um this it's not your fault, after everything you've told me"

"If I can go out with you, I definitely won't let your Bsamu escape. I really missed a great opportunity to kill another Demon Beast commander!"

Wu Ming clenched his fist with his left hand and slammed his right, interrupting Ishtar's words immediately, and his expression became even more regretful.

The so-called "hold on for a while, the more you think, the angrier you get, and the more you take a step back, the more you lose" was almost like Wu Ming's current state.

However Wu Ming's words made Ishtar even Gudako and Mashu freeze on the spot.

The meaning of Wu Ming's words was clear, what he was worried about was not Ishtar, but the regret of missing the opportunity to kill the Demon Beast commander...

Gudako and Mashu couldn't help but gulp, and silently stared at Ishtar, who had lowered her head and was emitting a terrifying aura.

"You ..."

Ishtar did not disappoint and shouted what Gudako and Mashu thought was right at this time.

"You bastard!!"
