"What a hassle..."

Gu Mo frowned visibly.

His inherent perception of the enemy before him was still stuck in the past impressions, subconsciously not taking it too seriously. But now he realized... there's a big difference between perception and reality. Shouldn't fully trust the game's impressions after all?

In the game, this thing was just a simple punching bag...

Of course, now it still seems like a punching bag, but the huge size, the terrifying HP, and the exaggerated recovery ability are somewhat absurd...

Is it really worthy of being a DLC boss? Such a lineup can't even be dealt with quickly; while it's certain to be defeated, it will probably take a lot of effort... It might also be because we arrived too early; we should have been at level 60 before coming.

After all, with a full sixty years of power, Ah Xiu must have become the indisputable greatest demon of the Warring States, and her sister wouldn't be lacking much either, unlike the naivety now.

And as for myself...

No matter how powerless, with a good sixty years of grinding experience, even my shadow should at least have the current level of my true ability values, right?

In that case, facing an enemy like this wouldn't be such a challenge, and this awkward situation wouldn't arise. With thoughts swirling in his mind, Gu Mo couldn't help but lightly sigh, bending the bow and nocking an arrow again, pulling back to the perfect moment before releasing.

For now, I can only slowly chip away at its health...

Come to think of it, there aren't any good special attacks either.

Although Minamoto no Yoshiie is quite powerful, he currently seems stronger than the Ah Xiu sisters. However, the special attack level of the Chuye Shiwan in his hand is still somewhat low, as it's specifically forged to defeat Ootakemaru, and can likely only fully exert its restraining effect against the Primordial Ghost.

Against other demon ghosts, achieving even a ten or twenty percent effectiveness would be admirable... After all, the special attack force against other demon ghosts is at most a bonus generic effect.

Boom!!

Amidst the deafening roar, successive large bow fire arrows exploded like fireworks on the body of the Sea Monk.

The powerful flow of the Qi body, reverberating like the rumbling of thunder, and the raging flames spread across the sea surface, turning a mile's radius into a purgatorial sea of fire. The intense heat capable of melting metal scorched everything and relentlessly damaged the Sea Monk's body.

In pain and anger, it swung its massive "arm" furiously, forcing back the two elusive figures it couldn't hit, and then the monstrous giant face gazed downwards!

The Spirit Stone Core transformed "eyeball" in an instant began to shine brilliantly, jumping to the release of a pure energy beam in one swift move! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The brilliant column of light, composed of the spirit stone essence like sunlight, surged out overwhelmingly, sweeping across the sea like a massive laser, spanning the entire ocean to the horizon, then arched into the sky, shattering the atmosphere and sound completely.

It seemed as if the sea and sky had been cleaved apart, divided into two halves.

At this critical moment, Gu Mo and Hidechika's silhouettes had vanished from the evaporated line of the sea, leaving only a shattered plank enduring an unbearable burden before being annihilated completely, turning to ash without even catching fire.

The wind blew fiercely, with black hair intertwining and tangling.

Almost like the previous evasion, but this time in a different position, having anticipated this scene, Gu Mo took the initiative, after releasing the continuous arrows, without looking at the result, he turned to wrap his arm around Hidechika's slender waist and leapt forcefully upwards.

In the very next moment, their former position was pierced and evaporated by the Sea Monk's spirit stone ray.

However, it was precisely this sort of maneuver that allowed him to move faster than the girl, firmly grasping the initiative this time... After all, it's better this way, holding Hidechika himself is preferable to being held by her; once was enough of that.

The girl appeared somewhat astonished in his arms, seemingly unable to react...

Gu Mo glanced down, taking in her delicate features, revealing a rather triumphant smile to her, feeling a surge of satisfaction within... His earlier slight frustration vanished away!

Indeed, this is how it should be, unlike that earlier awkwardness!

The sea raged turbulently, and the enraged Sea Monk swung its mimicked gigantic arm in pursuit violently, like a heavenly pillar pressing across the sky, intending to crush the tiny figures in the air with unbeatable might!

Gu Mo, mid-air, flipped his body, ready to act calmly against the impending giant shadow...

It was at this instant.

A meteor wrapped in immense holy light cut across the sky before him, piercing accurately through the giant shadow!

In an instant, the meteor disappeared at the edge of sight without meeting any resistance, it seemed.

And the gigantic mimicked arm of the Sea Monk crashed heavily into the sea, igniting terrifying waves spreading continuously, surging hundreds of meters high with water columns dispersing into a mist of infinite droplets at a gust of wind...

Like a mountain rolling into the sea with massive commotion, the Sea Monk emitted a strange screech, its outstretched arm shot directly off, which was a significant injury to it!
