Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 500 - 262: Ancient Fate (Part 3)
The Immortal Spirit Maiden nodded, her usually watery eyes now surprisingly resolute. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
However, she reminded everyone that it would be dangerous, and they should be prepared.
Thus, they went back underwater once more.
But this time, potential danger lurked, so Li Ang didn’t let the girls come along, only accompanying Diana and Farina down.
Once again at the bottom, Diana approached the ancient creation and gently placed her hand on it.
A light of the Star Soul emerged on the surface of her body. These lights did not turn into runes but were immediately absorbed by them, and then the hard objects buried in aquatic plants, lake mud, and the gaps of the Heaven-Supporting Giant Tree’s branches began to emit golden light.
This glow was identical to the Rune Stones and the ruins of Satus Island, with countless runes shimmering in the brilliant light. Then, the lake’s bottom waves surged, and the muddy waters vibrated, as if something was about to reemerge.
Li Ang and Farina exchanged a glance and surfaced with protection, as if this thing was about to break through the water, meaning underwater combat might not be needed.
As the two left the lake, Li Ang immediately told the approaching team members, "Stay back, take your positions!"
They quickly donned their equipment and readied their weapons, forming ranks on the lake’s shore.
The clear lake water was suddenly filled with silt, and as the golden light exploded, several metal objects engraved with runes burst out of the water.
It didn’t have a complete form because what it depended on had long been destroyed in ancient times. These fragments circled around a magic power-filled bright star, likely the "soul" refined by ancient people.
Li Ang switched to the Spiritual Horizon, noting that the complexity of this Star of Soul was no less than an intelligent lifeform. It emitted lines of spirituality, immediately noticing Diana.
And in the next moment, its hostility was instantly established.
In its perspective, there shouldn’t be anyone like Li Ang around Diana; he, Farina, and the girls were all to be eliminated.
The fragments of runes spun rapidly. They couldn’t construct a full body but began to draw in natural materials.
Some nearby grass and woods full of Power of Nature and spirituality were uprooted and drawn over, intended to construct the guardian’s body.
Li Ang opened his panel, finding that the recently displayed contents had already changed.
[Divine wood sentinel]
[Ancient Chains bind the sleepless soul, devoted to shielding its Master]
[Species: Creation·Undead·Elemental Creatures [Temporary]]
[Combat Wisdom: Tier 9 (-1)]
[Servant: None]
[Energy Source: Light of the Star Soul, Tier 9]
[Physical Strength: Eternal Iron, Tier 9. Natural Temporary Body, Tier 7]
[Special Attack: Divine Guard’s Sacrifice]
[Skills: Divine Martial Arts, Divine Power Crush]
[Combat Power Amplification: 15%]
This information instantly reminded Li Ang of the first official enemy on Satus Island—the Divine Rock Guard.
However, that Divine Rock Guard was an Elemental Creature summoned by the Earth Serpent, while the one in front of him was an ancient creation.
Yet it was similar to the Divine Rock Guard in that it used external materials to compensate for its body. Because the Earth Serpent was weak, its guard relied on Earth Rock, while this one sought to supplement itself with natural objects.
Their powers were similar to the Master of Star Soul, and I’m afraid the ability to control them was naturally embedded within the Star Soul’s memory, and so the Earth Serpent was born to manipulate such things.
If there had been a complete set of ancient Tier 9 guards in that ruin at the time... never mind, Li Ang didn’t want to think about that.
Once this guardian had attracted some plants and trees, a human form could be immediately seen.
It was apparently more troublesome than a Divine Rock Guard that couldn’t use any techniques.
Farina had already made the first move, instantly gathering a Dragon Flame Fireball over two meters in diameter and throwing it at the Divine wood sentinel. The blazing fire accompanied by the destructive Power of Dragon exploded, burning most of the temporary body of the sentinel.
The temporary body borrowed from plants, but strengthened by the Light of the Star Soul, had reached Tier 7, not easily destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Divine wood sentinel had rotated those engraved with runes, called the Eternal Iron ancient fragments, forming a primary defense that extinguished the subsequent fireball.
Li Ang grasped the Demon Arm; now was the moment to test its power.
With a thought, he reached out towards the Divine wood sentinel and squeezed.
Spiritual Piercing.
A fundamental-level destruction immediately caused the Star of Soul of the Divine wood sentinel to tremble violently, as if the condensed Magic Power Star was punched full of holes, spraying star flames in all directions.
Farina cast once again, this time with Dragon Flame Fireball, Flaming Flower Crown, and Fire Flying Feather at once, and in the distance, the Blazing Winged Dragon she summoned breathed fire, coordinating the attack.
This time, the sentinel’s previous defenses seemed completely ineffective, as it suffered heavy blows from the flames and fell collapsed on the lake shore.
