I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 487 - 7: Thousand-Mile Eye and Concealing the Celestial Secret – Celestial Maiden Body and Taking Advantage of Others?
Elixir of Immortality.
In essence, it is an advanced bloodline enhancement material. Once consumed, the user’s form of life will undergo extreme sublimation, finally locking into the "Celestial Maiden" template.
Since it’s specifically for a Celestial Maiden, Gu Mo, who has no dissatisfaction with his gender, naturally would not consider using it on himself. Moreover, as there is only one portion of this elixir, no matter what, it is naturally best for Kikyo to use it. Her improvement in strength also benefits him.
After all, the witch is currently the only fixed teammate...
Hiri, of course, is not considered a teammate. Firstly, because she still can’t stabilize, it’s only her first time opening the gate and following along. Secondly, because the Demon Hunter Girl’s combat strength is not impressive enough... 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Gu Mo’s consideration is to position her as a navigator in the future, like the navigator of the Wild Hunt, specifically responsible for directional navigation, accurately opening teleportation gates to other worlds. This can be said to be a strategic role, and as for combat, it really isn’t necessary.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Hiri can stay, establish a long-term cooperative relationship with him, and successfully excavate the full potential of the ancient blood she inherited.
Returning to reality—
Under his urging, the witch finally consumed the elixir.
The effect was immediate, naturally.
In the next moment, her body slowly defied gravity and floated up, stopping several meters above the ground, as if an invisible force was lifting her. Behind Kikyo, her hair, as if black silk, spread out like flowing water, rippling with an exquisite texture, as if swaying in water waves.
It was as if there was an invisible swing in mid-air, allowing her to gently sit upon it.
Then, a light began to emanate from her body.
From her fingertips, her skin, even her long hair that resembled black satin, a soft light overflowed little by little. It was a glow as cold as moonlight, neither dazzling nor blindingly bright. Ultimately, this moonlit water filled the entire wooden cabin.
During this process, the witch seemed to be earnestly experiencing something, neither panicking nor in pain. In the end, she merely took a deep look at Gu Mo, slowly closing her eyes at the very moment the moonlight completely filled the confined space of the room.
How did she become a glowing person...
Gu Mo murmured to himself like this, yet he could keenly sense that the witch seemed to be undergoing some form of sublimation on the level of existence...
Is this a transformation on the existing form, or is it retaining only the most fundamental "spirit" and then recreating a new form from scratch? He couldn’t determine at the moment, for his vision was completely submerged in moonlight, and even his spiritual power was directly bounced away by some mysterious force, maybe a rule of the dog system?
Next...
was a long wait that even made him a bit speechless.
This process lasted for more than half a day. In the meantime, Hiri also prepared food and came to ask about it once. However, Gu Mo made up an excuse to send the Demon Hunter Girl away, staying in the cabin, neither going out nor letting anyone in.
Hiri could only eat her lunch somewhat sullenly by herself, while also growing more curious about what the two of them were doing inside the room... But it was merely curiosity. She was quite tactful in these matters and didn’t really intend to get to the bottom of things.
After all, it’s normal for people to have secrets. She herself also has things she doesn’t want others to know. In such cases, it’s naturally unwelcome to butt in insensitively... The Demon Hunter Girl could also see things clearly and didn’t feel isolated or excluded at all, nor did she think along those lines.
The time they’ve known each other isn’t long; if not for their interaction during this period, they would still be some distance away from becoming friends.
Since they are just general friends, naturally, there can’t be any grievance towards the other party for not confiding in her completely, as Hiri herself actually holds back too.
So after she had lunch and moved her body a bit, she simply picked up her Silver Sword and started practicing her swordsmanship in the small valley... Her childhood experiences at Kael Morhan enabled her to undergo partial training of the Demon Hunters, and the magic in her bloodline allows her to reach the physical aptitude of a Demon Hunter without genetic mutation.
Despite now attempting to touch upon higher levels of power, Hiri hasn’t easily abandoned these daily exercises and has retained a good habit.
If unable to grasp a new power, at least she couldn’t lose her current means of living.
......
...
Not long before, in Uruk.
After what seemed like a fierce battle — which was actually without casualties — ended with the invader retreating in a wretched state, the ceiling and dome of the palace where the King of Uruk resided had a large hole opened up, allowing a direct view of the sky.
The ground was littered with the debris of buildings, broken beams crisscrossed the floor, and the Uruk soldiers outside calmed down from their initial shock while the priests wore helpless expressions.
Only the young man on the throne appeared somewhat fatigued and a bit annoyed, gazing at the large hole above his head, he snorted coldly: "Tsk, as expected, no matter how incompetent, she is ultimately a goddess! Ordinary magic couldn’t touch her at all! She escaped way too decisively..."
