In front of Jaune and the group, the person looks like a girl with a tiger suit…No, it's a jaguar suit.
"Who are you?" Ritsuka asked.
"I am…" Jaguar said. "Um…what am I? A mysterious purretty girl, I guess!".
"Alright, I got it!" Merlin said. "She's an idiot!".
The person in front seems to have mistaken Merlin's words from idiot to bunny. Though, from the looks of it, Merlin wasn't wrong calling the person in front of them an idiot.
"If you want to call me by something, call me," Jaguar said before she did a triple backflip. "Jaguar Warrior! If you don't fear these fangs, you can come right at me!".
Ana found the Jaguar Warrior suspicious and went to attack her. But the moment Ana struck, she was gone from her position.
"Okay, I think I've got it!" Jaguar said. "I'll see you guys again! And I am not a tiger, but a jaguar! That'll be in your nest test, so you've better remember!".
Jaune was laughing at Jaguar Warrior's idiocy. No one even called her a tiger.
"That was one of the funniest things I've seen," Jaune said while laughing. "What the hell was that anyway".
"I don't know," Merlin said. "But she was one funny character".
"We should get moving," Jaune said. "Lest we meet more character like Jaguar warrior".
Jaune and the group made their move once more, and it didn't take them long before they arrived at Ur. The trees are encroaching inside the city as well. The structures around Ur seems to be covered in trees.
"Everyone, look!" Mash shouted. "The people are alright".
"I'm so glad!" Ritsuka said. "The people of Ur are safe!".
Ritsuka then approached one of the people he saw and spoke with her.
"Excuse me," Ritsuka said. "We came from Uruk to investigate by the king's request".
"Oh, my," the woman said. "It must have been a hard journey to pass through that jungle from Uruk".
"But if everyone is alright," Ritsuka said. "We'll go back and have the king send a rescue party!".
"No," the woman said. "You don't have to".
"Why?" Ritsuka asked. "Why is that you don't want a rescue party?".
"We don't need to be rescued," the woman said. "Ur is a very safe city".
Jaune was suspicious of the happening in Ur. For some reason, the people have little to no males in the city. And if you look closely, the male is either weak or a child. Merlin seemed to have realised something as well, and he wanted to confirm it.
"Ritsuka," Merlin said. "I want you to gather the city folk tomorrow. I have something to talk about".
"You found it weird too?" Jaune asked Merlin. The man nodded at Jaune. "So, that the case".
"I can't blame them for choosing this course of action," Merlin said. "They didn't have much choice. No matter how wrong the choice they made, they did so for survival".
"In exchange for another's life," Jaune scowled. But that soon changed since he knew the people were desperate. "I guess that's what desperation can make you do".
The following morning, it was very cloudy and a light rain. In front of the biggest building in Ur, Ritsuka gathered all the people.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting," a woman said. "Envoy for King Gilgamesh. I heard that you had something to speak about".
"Yes," Merlin said. "I heard you didn't need to be rescued. However, we must ask you the reason why that is so?".
"Ur is safe," another woman said. "As long as the jungle surrounds us, the Demonic Beasts can't come in! As long as we obey the rules of the forest goddess!".
"That's true," Mash said. We didn't encounter any Demonic Beasts within the jungle".
The talk continued until Merlin told the mystery of how the people of Ur were safe. He told them that the people of Ur are sacrificing their men for the continued protection of the goddess. It was then that Jaguar arrived. As it turns out, Jaguar was a Divine Spirit.
"That amusing thing is the forest Goddess?" Ana said.
"That's right!" Jaguar said. "The beautiful forest goddess, Jaguar Warrior!".
Jaune was now laughing his ass off. The idiot that they met was a goddess. He didn't think idiots could be a goddess. But then he heard Alice.
[She may be stupid, but she is strong. Then again, she isn't your problem since Gilgamesh asked you to watch and protect Ritsuka and her group only when necessary.
By the way, if there is a time you head to a world of cultivation, you would be glad that this goddess is an idiot because the people there are absolute morons who are only capable of relying on their father's name and their family's status.
Do you remember the time you told me about people saying, 'Do you know who my father is?!' or 'Do you know who I am?!' or even 'This grudge between us is irreparable!']
"I do remember that," Jaune said. "You answered me with, 'You have no idea', that spooked me a bit".
[It should because, in the future, you would probably go to such a world. Believe me, those world has a lot of those people in them. There is a high chance you would be exhausted to death with their moronic actions. By the way, my favourite phrase those morons use is 'Junior! You're Courting Death!']
Jaune laughed out loud. Everyone was staring at Jaune since he was laughing so hard.
"What's so funny?" Jaguar asked. "I didn't say anything funny".
"Sorry, Sorry, Sorry," Jaune said. "Please continue your speech".
"Ahem! As I was saying," Jaguar said. "I'm a gourmet, so I only chow on the hearts of heroes!".
Jaguar warrior then proceeds to leap from the top of the building down to the ground. While the people in the area where Jaguar Warrior was about to land ran, Jaune watched her theatrics with amusement in his eyes.
"I love birds! I love fish! I eat people and stuff!" Jaguar said. "Witness the astonishing teleportation of Jaguar warrior!".
"But you didn't teleport, Jaune said. "You leapt from the building. I'm pretty sure you don't know the meaning of teleportation".
Jaguar completely ignored Jaune's words and continued talking.
"If you guys are planning on taking the sacrifices outside," Jaguar said. "I won't let you! If you were to take them, not only would all my efforts go to waste, but then Kuku's going to make me cry!".
"Hey, Merlin?" Jaune called. "Who is this Kuku she's talking about?".
"I haven't a clue," Merlin replied. "But then it might be something absurd with her being, you know, stupid".
"This is our world," Jaguar said. She then took out her weapon and started spinning it. "The world of spiralling snake! Begone! You humans who are devoid of the god's grace!".
Ritsuka, Mash and Ana prepared to fight Jaguar Warrior. However, Jaune watched in the back, prepared to intervene when necessary.
"So, you won't leave?" Jaguar said. "As long as there is the protection of the jungle, our sun is invincible! What I'm getting at here is…At least bring us a gift or something, jerks!".
Jaguar then dashed for Mash and used her paw spear to thrust at her. Mash was able to block the attack and push Jaguar Warrior far away. Though Jaune saw that Jaguar didn't get tossed away, instead, she used the pushing momentum to leap back.
When Jaguar Warrior landed from her leap, Ana got behind her and tried to slash her. However, she saw it coming and dodged it. Jaguar then proceeds to climb a building and leap once more and give Ana a kick. It was blocked, but Ana was sent flying. Jaguar then got behind Ana and kicked her into the air.
Jaguar put her attention to Mash, who she continuously attacked. Mash didn't have any room to attack since Jaguar's movement was fast and heavy, making lifting her shield in time to block difficult as is, and attacking was not a viable option.
Using her chains, Ana was able to gain the attention of Jaguar Warrior away from Mash. Unfortunately, she was kicked so hard that she went flying. Mash saw this and tried to help. However, Jaguar was too fast for her, and she got kicked away.
Jaguar was too strong for Mash and Ana alone. Jaune was going to give them a hand. However, Merlin gestured to him not to make a move. Instead, Merlin asked Ritsuka if they should retreat or continue fighting, to which, Ritsuka chose to retreat.
