Chapter 99: Desperate Offensive

"You want me to clear the sewers?! And move bricks too?!"

In the Shark Stream Room, PD felt like he was about to fall apart as he looked at the mission prompts popping up from the system.

He, the dignified top-ranked whale of the entire server, holding countless maxed-out Five-Star Heroic Spirits, was actually being ordered around to do chores like a construction crew by a corporate slave uncle with dark circles under his eyes?

"This is too much! This Gilgamesh is simply going too far!"

PD slapped his thighs in anger while sitting in his gaming chair. "I'm the Master who came to save the world! Do you understand what saving the world means! Why on earth are you making me clear the sewers!"

In the bullet chat, the viewers were practically dying of laughter from this comical contrast:

"Hahaha! Calm down, Boss P. When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head!"

"I'm dying laughing. The Oldest King asking you to unclog the toilet is him thinking highly of you! Hurry up and go!"

"Stop complaining. Didn't you hear Gil say? Uruk doesn't support idlers. Even if you're the savior, you have to clock in for work here!"

Feeling full of resentment, PD indignantly clicked on the main story stage: [Uruk Urban Area - Sewer Clearance].

In his view, this kind of newcomer mission at the start of a main story chapter would at most involve fighting low-level mobs like Slimes or small rats; it was purely a story transition.

However, the moment he deployed his Servants and truly entered the underground sewers...

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by an extremely low and terrifying growl, several Demonic Beasts, Uridimmu—each larger than a van with the body of a lion and the tail of a snake—pounced directly from the depths of the filthy waterway. One bloody maw even crushed the metal grate of the sewer!

"Holy crap?!" PD jumped in fright.

"Are these the'small rats' of the sewer?! These are clearly dinosaurs from Jurassic Park!"

Not just Demonic Beasts, the sewers were even lurking with many mutated monsters emitting an ominous black aura, modified by some kind of magecraft. The defensive pressure of the stage was even greater than the Wyverns in the mid-to-late stages of the France Singularity!

PD finished these so-called "daily chore" missions drenched in sweat, feeling completely exhausted.

But he and the viewers in the stream room completely dropped their joking attitude after experiencing these few battles.

"Brothers... have you noticed?"

PD looked at the safe clearance screen and swallowed hard, his voice becoming somewhat heavy. "This is just the lowest level sewer within Uruk City."

"Even the sewers inside the city are lurking with terrifying Demonic Beasts of this level. Then what kind of high-pressure environment do the civilians of this city live in every day?"

"And that Gilgamesh, who sits at the top of the Ziggurat, correcting documents while coordinating the entire city's defense—exactly what kind of desperate fortress is he carrying on his shoulders?!"

The more one thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

The players finally understood that the Wise King, who had worked himself to the point of having dark circles, wasn't intentionally making things difficult for them.

In this desperate era where the Age of Gods was about to end, the living space of humanity had been compressed to the extreme.

Uruk was truly dancing on the edge of a cliff!

Just as PD finished his mission and was preparing to return to the Ziggurat to report...

"Wooooo————!!!"

A piercing, shrill horn blast that made hearts race wildly tore through the quiet sky above Uruk without warning!

Immediately after, the tactical terminal interface flashed frantically with a top-level blood-red warning!

[Emergency: Absolute Demonic Beast Front - Northern Wall is under attack by an ultra-large scale wave of Demonic Beasts!]

[The defensive line has been breached! All personnel, proceed to the Northern Wall immediately for support!]
