Flames burned, but when Mo Shuying raised his hand, the fire didn't feel particularly hot.
Mo Shuying had already encountered this type of flame when he'd slammed the blue demon earlier. It was a powerful flame, but not one that burned the body. Instead, it targeted the soul. Just a momentary touch had burned away some of Mo Shuying's spiritual power and Mana. Now, completely enveloped, he could feel his spiritual power and Mana rapidly depleting.
"Flames targeting the soul, not bad," Mo Shuying said calmly. At the same time, a bell appeared in his hand. With a gentle shake, the flames on his body vanished.
The demon pig, which had thought victory was assured, suddenly widened its eyes. Its three legs twitched rapidly, and it twisted its body, trying to throw Mo Shuying off.
But Mo Shuying simply raised his fist high, then—
*"BOOM!!"*
*Intentional Blast Punch!*
Thanks to the demonic flame's attack, Mo Shuying's Heroic Spirit Value was already full. Now, he unleashed his punch! A surge of fist energy instantly pierced through the demon pig's neck!
"Aow!!"
But the demon pig was simply too large. The attack that pierced its neck didn't immediately kill it. Mo Shuying shifted his target to the demon pig's head, then—
*"Rumble!"*
A bolt of lightning struck directly from the sky, then was absorbed by the divine hammer in Mo Shuying's hand.
Mjolnir. Mo Shuying had used Manni's power.
*"Rumble, rumble!"*
Dark clouds surged over Mount Ebif, plunging the world into darkness, then quickly illuminated by flashes of lightning!
"Shatter everything! Mjolnir!"
*"BOOM!!"*
The divine hammer descended, accompanied by heavenly thunder!
In an instant, endless lightning bolts rained down furiously! Following the divine hammer, they struck the demon pig's head, instantly shattering it!
"Aow!!"
This time, the demon pig was truly hit hard. Its head was pierced, the inside charred black. It opened its mouth wide, then finally collapsed heavily to the ground.
"Phew!"
Mo Shuying jumped off the demon pig. At this point, the demon pig was already beginning to disintegrate.
Just then.
Ding~ Detected special flame attribute. Absorb? Activate special skill, Ignite.
"Huh?"
Mo Shuying paused, then excitedly clicked confirm!
"Absorb!"
Absorption successful. Ignite activated.
Ignite! Another Summoner skill from a game had appeared.
Mo Shuying eagerly checked it.
Ignite
Cooldown: 180 seconds. Can use demonic flames to ignite a target within sight for 60 seconds.
Deals continuous flame True Damage (soul). Reduces target's health regeneration by 50%. Increases damage taken by the target by 10%.
What a skill!
Mo Shuying's eyes lit up as he looked at the attributes!
Never mind the other attributes; just the 10% increased damage alone made this a very powerful skill.
Mo Shuying was very satisfied, and he couldn't help but thank the dissipating demon pig.
"I never thought even a pig would have Mystic Eyes. Thank you for your gift."
Mystic Eyes. Yes, that huge demon pig earlier had Mystic Eyes. The demonic flame was a power of its Mystic Eyes.
The previous Flash was also an extension of its Mystic Eyes' ability. So, then...
I wonder if Clairvoyance counts as a type of Mystic Eyes...
Mo Shuying thought of Merlin. If Clairvoyance also counted, could he possibly...
"Achoo!"
Merlin, who was being thought about by Mo Shuying and was currently searching for clay tablets, couldn't help but sneeze. He rubbed his nose, looking a little confused, but soon after, he walked towards the forest. He didn't notice, however, that in the lush tropical rainforest undergrowth, a patterned creature was revealing its claws!
With the demon pig dealt with, the path was clear.
Mo Shuying led the donkey cart further up the mountain. Behind him, the three girls had gained a completely new understanding of Mo Shuying's strength after the battle. Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but think:
You're already this strong? Do you really need to find those goddesses for help?
As she pondered this question, the four of them unknowingly arrived at their destination: Ishtar's Temple.
"Is this… Ishtar's temple? I think I can already guess what kind of person she is."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the ornate temple before them, somewhat speechless.
The temple was tall, grander and more magnificent than Gilgamesh's tower, but… its taste was questionable.
The entire temple exuded a nouveau riche vibe. On either side of the stairs, there were even two giant lucky cat statues. How much did she love money?
"Heh heh heh, this might be the tackiest temple I've ever seen…"
Mo Shuying's voice held a hint of helplessness. Anna, behind him, nodded. She used to have a temple herself and had seen many others. Indeed, as Mo Shuying said, this temple was truly tacky!
"Let's go. Regardless, we need to go up and see Ishtar."
Mo Shuying shook his head, then led the group forward, when suddenly!
*Bang bang!*
Two golden lights shot out from the temple at the very top!
"Look out!"
Mash raised her shield, blocking the attack in front of everyone, immediately followed by!
"Aren't you people too thick-skinned? I clearly warned you last night, so why did you come up the mountain again today?! And you even said my temple was tacky!"
Ishtar's voice rang out. Everyone looked up to see Ishtar floating out from the temple, looking down at them from above, her gaze unfriendly.
"A warning? Do you mean those few Magic Bullets you shot yesterday that killed the undead?"
Mash peeked her head out from behind her shield and asked. Ishtar put her hands on her hips and said proudly,
"Yes! That was the goddess's benevolence and warning. I helped you eliminate some undead, so you should have known when to retreat. I didn't expect…"
Ishtar looked at Mo Shuying. She knew Mo Shuying had eliminated the undead from Kutha, and she had also seen today's battle on the mountain. Ishtar was a bit uncertain about Mo Shuying's strength.
"We came up because we have something to ask of you, Lady Ishtar!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped forward and called out, but no sooner had the words left their mouth than a golden light shot out!
"Master, look out!"
Mash blocked the golden light again. Just then, Ishtar spoke.
"I told you, you're too thick-skinned. I already spared you once when I was at the Uruk tower. I can't believe you still dared to come find me here. Do you really think I have a good temper?!"
Ishtar extended her right hand, making a shooting gesture. Golden light gathered at her fingertips. Mash and Anna all drew their weapons, ready for battle.
Seeing the negotiation reach a stalemate, Mo Shuying stepped out from the side, then suddenly waved his hand!
*Clatter!*
In an instant, hundreds of sparkling, beautiful gems were thrown out, reflecting various lights in the sun!
"Huh?!"
Ishtar, who was about to attack, suddenly froze, letting the gems fly past her. A few even hit her.
"What is this?"
Ishtar retracted her hand and grabbed. An egg-sized yellow gem was clutched in her hand. After clearly seeing what she held,
"Gems!!"
Ishtar let out a shrill shriek!
