Humbaba's huge body is being rapidly decomposed into the purest magic power, dissipating, disappearing, and returning to nature.
A small garden appeared around their bodies.
The garden is full of flowers.
This is......
Ananu and Enki both stared blankly at the flowers blooming around their bodies.
"After you passed out, the magic power in your body involuntarily changed the surrounding terrain."
Gilgamesh sighed.
The clay men looked over.
The king turned his back to them and stood in the sea of flowers, looking at Humbaba's remains that were quickly dissipating.
Ananu and Enkidu stood up and wanted to walk towards Humbaba.
But they discovered something different.
There seemed to be a garland on their heads that was different from before.
No, this is...a Corolla.
A crown of flowers composed of Humbaba flowers.
The white garland has disappeared into their hearts, and on their heads is Humbaba's last gift to them.
They used magic power to plant flowers representing Humbaba, and Humbaba wove flowers representing himself into flower crowns and put them on their heads.
It was placed on the heads of the beautiful Ananu and Enkidu, their only friends.
Ananu and Enkidu stood beside Gilgamesh, looking at this sad thing with him that caused the natural disaster. It was also their...first and most precious friend.
Gilgamesh looked at them and then at Humbaba.
This monster, the terrifying being Humbaba, is undoubtedly a strange and powerful being.
It has claws sharper than the Key of the Sky, and a body stronger than the Lock of the Sky. After twisting and twisting, it releases this disaster, destroying the world according to its instincts.
but......
...What a simple gift.
but.
"Perhaps it is precisely because it is a simple decoration that a pure and flawless heart like yours can feel sincere joy."
After saying this, Gilgamesh turned around.
The crisis in the cedar forest has been resolved, there is no need to stay here anymore.
Ah, right.
"Before returning to Uruk, I have one more question to ask."
He held his chest and could see the blood vessels bulging.
Ananu and Enkidu turned around and looked at Gilgamesh in confusion.
"You two...who the hell hung the unconscious king on a tree!?"
The clay men were startled, then looked at each other.
Immediately afterwards, suppressed laughter burst out at the same time: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
However, soon, a strange thing interrupted their laughter.
Humbaba's body has dissipated to an extent, and some things that were previously covered by Humbaba's magic have also revealed their figures.
The three of them became serious together.
"Jill?"
"I, the king, will go and take a look."
Gilgamesh frowned and walked towards Humbaba's remains.
He felt that he always felt that this huge magic power suddenly appeared after Humbaba's death... no, it was the feeling of divine power, something familiar...
The three of them approached together, and when they got closer, they realized that it was...
A pair of legs?
"...What is this?" Ananu said with a speechless face.
"It should be a certain god... or something like that?" Enkidu analyzed it matter-of-factly.
"Speaking of which, Humbaba actually swallowed the gods..." Ananu sighed and shook his head slightly.
"If it were just an ordinary god, the two of us would be enough to handle it." Enkidu didn't take gods seriously at all.
In their minds, they are weapons!
Well, every time I think about this, many problems are solved.
"This is no ordinary god." Gilgamesh's voice was filled with disgust.
He was very familiar with the divine power contained in these legs.
"Huh? Are you still alive?"
"So you know each other?"
Ananu and Enkidu said one after the other.
Gilgamesh didn't answer, just nodded, and then grabbed the ankle of one of the legs facing the sky.
"I was wondering why this goddess didn't return to Uruk for so long. It turned out that...she was swallowed by this monster."
Grabbing the ankle and tugging hard——
Then, he threw it fiercely into the distance——!
call out--
bia.
The god shouted to the ground, and Ananu and Enkidu looked at Gilgamesh who was clapped his hands in pleasure with speechless expressions.
"Phew, I feel so good." Gilgamesh looked in high spirits.
When I fought Humbaba before, the feeling of fear and suffocation that was born out of instinct seemed to be cured instantly.
Ananu reacted and showed a look of realization: "Oh! That's Ishtar!"
Enkidu shook his head helplessly.
Is it really okay to throw the protector of one's city-state out with this kind of posture and strength?
Gilgamesh also felt something was wrong.
After all, Ishtar is the patron saint of Uruk. Venting your anger can only be done once in a while. At this critical period, it is better to wake her up quickly and ask her how she was swallowed by Humbaba.
.
...
ah......
So quiet...
There seems to be no moonlight from my father, nor sunlight from my brother, only the comfortable light when the stars twinkle...
"Hey... wake up..."
Huh? What's that sound?
Ishtar seemed to hear some strange noise.
"Hey-...point..."
Is there anyone calling me...
"Let me...this is good..." Another voice came into Ishtar's mind.
Then, Ishtar felt a...
Pain like a needle prick.
"ah!"
She screamed and opened her eyes suddenly.
The first thing that caught her eye was...
The son of the goddess, Gilgamesh, the king of men in his city...
Did he save me...?
Although she woke up, Ishtar still seemed a little unconscious.
Ananu put his hands on his hips and smiled: "I just say that this thing must be easy to use. The divine restraint is fully exerted. Even the father god Abzu and the mother god Tiamat have to feel pain!"
Gilgamesh shook his head helplessly.
"Gilgamesh...you saved me...?" Ishtar's attention was on this aspect now, and he didn't care that Ananu pricked himself with a needle.
"Stop talking nonsense and return to Uruk quickly." Gilgamesh sighed and stood up, "I don't care how you were eaten by Humbaba, but I still care about your life.
of."
"I also hope that you can have some awareness of being the patron saint of Uruk."
