Chapter 813: Chapter 393: Beast-Eared Archer
The previous confrontation filled the sky above the Hot Sea with steam, now finally allowing a clearer view of the Giant Bull appearance of the Molten Mountain Star Soul.
It was like a giant god cast in bronze, its entire body covered in heavy armor engraved with beast patterns, with only a small part of its body and head uncovered, revealing dark red fur.
In its prime, it should have been an incredibly majestic Divine Bull, but pain twisted its visage, and its cracked skin spilled blood as hot as lava, matting the fur together.
The contours of the Star Soul’s eyes blurred, chaotic power surged from within, the indistinct edges actually showing that both eyes were nearly melted by the boiling blood erupting from its body.
Li Ang could not confirm if these eyes were still functional, but its magical power had already locked onto Zoe.
"Retreat."
Telling the young girl to hide in the rear, Li Ang immediately entered Divine Wisdom Transcendence, summoning the Leviathan’s Dragon God Statue.
In the distance, Livi’s eyes lit up, transforming into a stream of water, merging with the statue.
"Li Ang, I’m going!"
As agreed, when facing an enemy with overwhelming Flame Power, the choice was to counter it with the vanguard of Water.
Although Livi disliked it, the scorching water still remained under her control, the beautiful sea serpent swam forward, surrounded by mist transforming into ribbons, sea waves reversed upward, forming a Water Tornado over the Inner Sea.
Behind, silver light appeared, and Meimei clad in Water Fairy Decorations stepped on water waves, arriving from the side, being a darling of water, she relied on generated waves to fight in mid-air.
She channeled magical power, the power granted by the set enveloped her petite body, forming a Water Illusion Body entirely made of flowing water, embodying the legendary image of the Water Fairy, surrounded by ribbons not just decorative, but freely changing, switching between defense and weaponry as streams of water.
Despite Purgatory Island being surrounded by chaotic Fire Elements, the presence of the Inner Sea ensured the summoning of Water Elements.
Sea Dragon and Water Fairy dispelled the steam, engaging in combat with the Star Soul.
The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, revealing the situation in the Molten Mountain Star Soul’s chest.
A massive wound stretched across the entire front of the chest, the bronze-colored armor fractured at the incision, the wound capable of rapid healing under the Light of the Star Soul support, but internally was a deadly thorn, continually obstructing, causing the area around the wound to fester like malignant inflammation.
Li Ang enhanced his Spirituality vision, seeing in that pus-filled wound, a sharp Crimson Thorn.
Is it a demon?
Had a Crimson Demon attacked the Molten Mountain Star Soul, leading it into incurable suffering?
The thorn was hidden too deeply, quickly concealed beneath the wound with the Star Soul’s movements, hard to see clearly.
Managed to see a little here, but there’s still the matter of the Purgatory Spirit and the timid young girl to address.
Leviathan and Meimei had no problem holding the Molten Mountain Star Soul at bay, Li Ang flew to the battlefield’s edge, looking towards the shore.
From just a little while ago, the Purgatory Spirit was restless, losing their calm demeanor as they strolled through cities, their bodies dissolving, revealing flames enwrapped around charred bones.
Amidst the ruins, groups of charred bones surrounded by flames dashed and sprinted, now truly resembling a wave of the undead.
Li Ang switched to Spiritual Horizon, indeed seeing the Spiritual Line connecting to them.
It seems that even with the transformation to their current form through the Power of the Star Soul, they still couldn’t break free from the connection to the Star Soul, as the lead entity, the Molten Mountain Star Soul could still command their power.
Before long, some Purgatory Spirits couldn’t resist the Star Soul’s pull, floating over the Hot Sea, flying towards the rampaging Star Soul.
Li Ang raised a wind wall to block them, wrapping them with wind to return them to shore.
But just after doing so, more fiery entities were pulled into the air, their faces expressing terror, incredibly similar to living beings.
"No!"
A figure rushed out from the small house on Temple Hill, she stood against the Star Soul, assisting the Star Flower Travel Corps, but did not wish to meet anyone, being Mort’s relative.
At this moment, Li Ang saw her clearly.
The young girl indeed had dark blue hair similar to Mort, with a tail swaying as she ran.
She was unmistakably a Beast-Earkin, but there were details differing from Mort.
Mort’s Beast ears were akin to most Beast-Earkin, leaf-like and standing tall, wider than rabbit ears, longer than dog ears.
Andasu of the Star Flower Travel Corps, a Yunxiang Race member, had Beast ears nearly indistinguishable from wolves.
But this dark blue-haired young girl’s ears were somewhat short and round, looking more like a little bear, no, rather than a bear, perhaps more like a rodent.
A mouse?
In contrast, her tail indeed leaned towards being slender, although not as starkly bare as a mouse’s, less than Andasu not to mention Mort appeared much finer.
It’s not surprising for differences to appear among Beast-Earkin in the same family, in fact, Beast-Earkin with similar bloodlines typically resemble each other, mainly because they would marry within a larger population, like the Yunxiang Race.
When combined with external Beast-Earkin, it might lead to changes in ear and tail forms, some uniquely talented Beast-Earkin might originate this way.
The blue-haired maiden raised her arm, lifting a branch.
This branch was slender and bent, perfection in shape, its tip branching, resembling both the antlers of a mighty stag and a Magic Staff held by a tree worshiper.
But in the maiden’s hands, it was a bow.
Fire sparks emanated from the palm holding the branch, quickly spreading outward, until enveloping the entire long branch.
