Chapter 231: The Sun's World Item
"It is simple. If we cannot kill it, then we just don't kill it. We simply need to force it into a weakened state."
"Weakened? That is indeed a good way to deal with the Indestructible attribute, but how exactly do we implement that?"
"I cannot say for certain about other things, but making this giant eyeball in front of us weak shouldn't be too difficult."
"Specifically?"
"Well, it is an eyeball. Even if it is different from the ones on Blue Star because of the local hellish environment, the water content inside should still reach seventy to eighty percent. Even with the differences from Blue Star, it must have at least thirty to forty percent, right? I think just draining all that moisture would be enough to inflict massive damage on it. Then, our attacks will surely be effective."
Under the expectant gazes of the group, the Magician fiercely showed off their biological knowledge.
The others listened and broke into a crisp round of applause.
"Brilliant!"
"Why didn't I think of that?"
"I can break through."
"Are you talking about that gray mist around your body from earlier?"
"Yes, it can block lines of sight, so breaking through shouldn't be an issue. The real question is how to drain it."
Lan Qingyou nodded.
"If you want to drain it, you can try this."
As she spoke, the Wheel of Fortune pulled out a full ten syringes—each as thick as a bucket and as long as a utility pole!
"This... I didn't expect you to play so wildly, Fortune."
"Heh."
At a loss for words, Lan Qingyou could only crack a slight joke, but she immediately dropped her smile upon seeing the Wheel of Fortune's forced, plastic grin.
"This is the information I gathered through Divination before coming here. Even though I didn't know what it would be used for, I still ordered a set from the Moon and the Chariot."
'Good heavens, is this how Divination is supposed to be used?'
'Wait, it seems that really is how it is used.'
After all, in ancient times on Blue Star, people would always perform Divination before going off to war, so there really wasn't anything wrong with the Wheel of Fortune using it this way.
'Still, this Diviner is a bit too versatile, isn't she?'
Lan Qingyou grumbled inwardly as she accepted the massive syringes.
However, having these giant syringes would indeed make draining the water much more convenient.
'What? Just stab it directly with a blade?'
Against a monster of this level, Lan Qingyou truly didn't dare do such a thing.
After all, she was someone who had read the Karim Monster Compendium. She knew very well that while the physical structures of this world's monsters shared many similarities with the creatures of Blue Star, their internal compositions were vastly different.
Otherwise, the eyes of that intruding three-eyed crow wouldn't have allowed Lan Qingyou to unlock an SSR-tier skill like the Magic Eye.
No one knew exactly what the fluid inside this giant eyeball was made of, and no one knew what consequences would follow if it were directly popped.
"Alright then, I will go right now. We don't want it getting too close and casually firing off those beam skills."
With the massive syringes in hand, Lan Qingyou gave a quick nod and flew toward Cthuya's Eye, which was slowly swimming toward the Ark of the World Tree.
"I suddenly feel like she could solo this entire dungeon instance."
The High Priestess muttered, watching Lan Qingyou's retreating back.
"Don't say that. It just makes us look completely useless."
The Sun rubbed the bridge of her nose.
Originally, she had only tagged along for fun, hoping to level up along the way and experience what the world's will called a dungeon.
Yet who could have imagined that after arriving here, aside from pushing all the way to the end on the very first day, there was practically nothing else to do the rest of the time.
Whether it was analyzing magic formations or providing logistical support, it seemed she hadn't been able to help at all.
This time was even worse. Right off the bat, an SS-rank boss appeared. Forget about launching an attack, she couldn't even step out of the safe zone.
Her Spirit stat was roughly on par with the Pope's, and it was self-evident what state the Pope was in right now.
It wasn't entirely impossible for her to rely on her innate talent and charge forward.
But she could perhaps only forcefully endure two or three of those beam attacks from before, and that would be the end of it. It was easy to imagine what the outcome would be once she ran out of Mana Points.
Especially with the giant eyeball constantly firing off beams at them ever since breaking free from the ice; the sheer frequency of those attacks was simply not something she could withstand.
However, simply standing by and watching others do all the fighting wasn't something she could accept either.
She brought out her golden, slender, ox-horn-shaped item, which was entirely covered in inscribed Runes.
This was her own creation, a world-class item recognized by the world's will—the Gjallarhorn.
"Othala, Laguz, Sowilo, Raido... Let all the water before my eyes embark on its own journey."
After a string of incantations that no one could comprehend, Ingrid, the Sun, voiced her wish and raised the horn to blow it.
Bwoooom—
The deep, resonant blast of the horn sounded from the ship. A ring of golden light expanded from the instrument, instantly rippling outward like a wave.
Having activated her Black Witch Smoke, Lan Qingyou believed her speed was already incredibly fast.
Yet, by the time the horn's blast and its accompanying golden light caught up to her, she had only flown halfway.
Then, she watched as the seawater below bubbled and churned like boiling water, continuously evaporating until there was less and less of it.
Finally, just as Lan Qingyou was about to reach Cthuya's Eye, the seawater below vanished completely. It revealed the muddy seabed covered in kelp, coral, thrashing fish, and dilapidated shipwrecks.
Like a tripping child, Cthuya's Eye plummeted straight from the ocean's surface down to the solid ground, leaving her absolutely dumbfounded.
Equally dumbfounded were the few people remaining on the ship.
Due to the vanishing seawater, the Ark of the World Tree, which had been swaying on the ocean's surface, also plummeted to the seabed alongside Cthuya's Eye.
Fortunately, the bay itself was quite narrow. The falling ship ended up wedged directly between the rocks on both sides, preventing it from capsizing completely.
"How did you do that?"
The High Priestess asked, her small mouth hanging slightly open in astonishment as she stared at the Sun.
'Good heavens, that was an entire stretch of the sea! With just a chanted spell and a blown horn, it completely vanished into thin air.'
Could this already be considered a divine miracle?
Because at the very least, humanity right now could not achieve such a feat.
"It is nothing worth mentioning. Just a parlor trick."
At this moment, Ingrid, the Sun, gave a pale, miserable smile. Her face was ashen, her purplish lips trembling uncontrollably as thin traces of crimson blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"You should replenish your Mana Points first. It looks like casting that skill just now drained you completely."
Seeing the heavy toll the attack had taken on her, the Wheel of Fortune handed over an uncorked Magic Power Potion.
The Sun didn't waste any words. She took it, tilted her head back, and downed it in one gulp.
Drained completely?
How could this skill be as simple as just draining her magic?
To put it bluntly, the golden horn acted somewhat like a magnifying glass. It relied on its inscribed Runes to amplify her wish.
And the price for that was an absolute overdraft.
