Chapter 814: Chapter 393: Beast-Eared Archer (Part 2)
The flames didn’t burn away the branches; instead, they wrapped around the staff, making it seem indistinct in the glow, much like the charred bones of Purgatory Spirits in the fire.
The young girl raised the staff with her left hand, reaching into the burning flames with her right to pull out a Flame Arrow.
The flames gathered into lines at both the top and bottom of the staff, pulled along to sit against the Flaming Arrow.
This material control proves the girl’s tier is genuinely above Tier Six, showing the Seventh Tier Magic she casted before wasn’t a mistake in perception.
With bow drawn and arrows launched, sparks quickly shot up into the sky, in Li Ang’s Spiritual Horizon, they cut the Light of the Star Soul pulling the Star Soul of the Molten Mountain and the Purgatory Spirits apart.
The girl, with her youthful elegance, bore a hint of shyness which made her appear somewhat innocent.
Though consistent in appearance, standing afar to draw her bow and fire without entering the battlefield seemed to serve her well, as it allowed her hand to remain swift and to shoot each arrow efficiently.
As an archer, the young girl naturally spotted Li Ang and his companions battling against the Molten Mountain Star Soul.
Her lips moved as if she had something to say.
Li Ang flew toward her, and the Beast eared Maiden immediately became terrified, her hair standing on end, suddenly vanishing in the firelight.
Huh? That speed?
Though the arrows she shot were Pure Demon Flame Arrows, the power of each was quite small; being a witch looked down upon, Li Ang holds no bias here, only considering it as her being young and her energy having limited traction on Magic Power.
Yet, her vanishing speed was impressive; he couldn’t even track her Spirit and Magic Power trajectory before she was gone.
In her place, a Purgatory Spirit appeared where the girl had disappeared, flying toward Li Ang.
She handed Li Ang a notebook, hastily scribbled upon with—Please don’t fight the Divine Bull, she will want to devour these girls. Moreover, she has been active for too long, and it will trigger a disaster, I’ll help you drive her back.
This was clearly written by the Blue haired Maiden, the meaning being quite clear.
"Disaster?"
As Li Ang pondered, this long-haired girl-like Purgatory Spirit reached out to point in the distance, and Li Ang followed her gaze to see one of Lupus’s volcano craters.
These volcanoes were already on the brink of eruption, and now, the lava within was boiling and exploding, sparks flying, visible even from afar. If one were close, anything beneath the strength of a Pure Magic Shield would be instantly melted.
Due to his current understanding of Star Souls, Li Ang immediately comprehended an aspect of Lupus Island and Molten Mountain Star Soul’s condition.
The Star Souls that communicated with Zoe were facing depletion of the Light of the Star Soul, most severely Eden, while Baal, with his formidable power and unique abilities, could replenish through astronomical phenomena, his state still good, yet he no longer held ancient powers.
Why, after Molten Mountain Star Soul caused disasters on the island, had it remained rampant these sixty years?
Because it had already become one with the entire Lupus Island, with highly concentrated Fire and Earth Elements flowing within its core, the ejected lava merely a facade.
It likely did this to preserve power and sustain its existence, thus enabling it to trigger island-wide disasters when its power went beyond control, explaining why its might seemed weak; its power had diffused throughout the island.
No wonder Mort claimed some scholars suggest Lupus Island will be completely submerged in lava, sinking into the Bloody Red Land.
Then, neither the Purgatory Spirits nor the Blue haired Maiden would survive.
And the reason the timid girl was standing against Molten Mountain Star Soul also became clear: she was protecting the Purgatory Spirits and the island.
"Please tell her, we will cooperate, but must meet afterwards, it’s important. We have a profound understanding of this Island God’s matters, and have come to solve its problem."
After speaking with the Purgatory Spirit, Li Ang again flew toward the Hot Sea.
This time, he began gathering power while still in the air.
The Demon’s Hand rose high, its twisted power congealing into drilling spirals, interwoven, compressed into a black orb, manifesting the Demon Secret Technique "Chaos Destruction."
At this distance, projecting the Oathbreaker’s Vengeance Thornlance to convey Chaos Destruction was a bit far, Li Ang tossed out a River Heart Stone, activating its spirituality, quickly drawing in Water Element.
The surrounding steam and water surface below swiftly surged upward; from the waves, he drew out the Pure Magic Bow, aggregating Water Elements, and nocked the Water Bow and Arrow.
This arrow was the archer’s [Elemental Arrow], but the focus was on the forefront.
Li Ang compressed Chaos Destruction upon the arrow’s tip.
Though the archer’s tier was not elevated with Professional Points, using this method for remote precision arrow projection was achievable.
Releasing his fingers, the water arrow sliced through the sky, directly aiming for the Star Soul’s chest.
Last time, he had also thrown a puncture black ball, but it was not clear then the posture of the Star Soul. It’s likely it struck an area with high defense, merely halting the chaos, allowing Zoe to communicate with it.
This time, the arrow shot accurately into the wound, and the eruption of chaos destruction instantly cleared the pus and rotten flesh around the giant beast’s injury. The spinning razor blade flew outwards, scraping against the giant beast’s breastbone.
Roar—!!!
The roar of the Bronze Giant Bull shook the entire island, with numerous lava eruptions from beneath the coastal ground and distant volcanoes rumbling, black smoke billowing.
A flash of firelight erupted in the sky, as the blue-haired beast-eared maiden appeared surrounded by infernal spirits nearby. Only then did Li Ang realize the vast numbers, forming a fire cloud seemingly staining the sky red.
Even if individual strength is weak, such numbers are tantamount to a purgatory army.
It appears some power of the Molten Mountain Star Soul was allocated here too.
Turbulence arose on the Eversummer ship, as the group clearly saw her appearance for the first time.
The timid young girl bit her lip and spoke to the surrounding infernal spirits, who then dispersed and raised their hands like her.
The young girl held a longbow, while the fire spirits grasped charred bones, whether from dismantling their bodies or from other perished creatures was unclear.
The infernal spirits moved in unison, using the charred bones as bow bodies, drawing bows and readying arrows.
Their eyes were vacant, starry light faintly visible, seemingly connected by a unique Star Soul power.
The beast-eared maiden’s lips moved, shooting a fire arrow. In the next moment, the purgatory archers similarly released flame arrows, creating instant fire sparks. But this time, their launching was more synchronized with a united target, the fire arrows following the leading arrow to the same spot.
"Whoa!"
On the deck of the Eversummer ship, these fire arrows converged into a flaming meteor descending from high, the arrow shot by the brightest blue-haired maiden was the meteor body, the trailing fire arrows its tail.
Unlike a meteor’s scattered remnants, the fire arrow tail transferred focused and consolidated power.
Despite identical elemental attributes, this barrage delivered consecutive strikes to the Molten Mountain Star Soul’s chest, forcing the massive Divine Bull to retreat repeatedly in the hot sea, moaning incessantly.
"Strange."
Zoe suddenly flew beside Li Ang, saying, "The Molten Mountain Star Soul seems to want us to attack her chest."
From the ship’s deck, she had obeyed the Star Soul’s will while Li Ang squinted at the wound: "Trying to have us pull out the thorn?"
Chaos black balls shattered much of its decayed flesh, making the internal elements clearer.
It wasn’t a demon but closely resembled one, squirming incessantly like an external crimson thorn tumor.
The Crimson Demon always held mysteries, and such a thing was even more perplexing.
Yet it was certainly bad.
Li Ang raised his magic staff, beginning to guide the decomposition beam.
At that moment, the tumor violently pulsed, infusing numerous crimson veins into the giant bull’s body.
The Star Soul’s recently cleared eyes immediately fell back into chaos, its entire body exploding into a fiery shockwave. Amid the group’s defense, it quickly dove and fled.
"Why did it run?!"
Zoe angrily waved her hand, while Li Ang ignored her, grabbing her and returning to the Eversummer ship, landing directly at the helm.
"Accelerate, blockade her!"
Li Ang pointed out the blue-haired beast-eared maiden’s position to Andasu.
The Star Soul problem wasn’t simple, and this maiden, able to command a group of infernal spirits while residing long on the island, certainly knew something. Initially, Mort’s commission was to face critical Star Soul events, but now it involved both, neither can slip away.
Andasu maximized power, the sizeable Eversummer vessel rapidly accelerated, surpassing the airborne archer maiden and infernal spirits before positioning across the ship’s body to obstruct them.
"Whoops!"
The timid young girl, already panicked and fleeing, was startled and fell backward, caught by two fire spirit maidens, preventing her from plunging directly into the hot sea below.
