Chapter 833 - 404: The Final Gift (Part 2)
It’s really a little of the original power, and I can’t withstand it now, the little girl thought.
Othella raised the divine God Sacrificial Branch, the blazing flames entwined the branch, dispersing the moisture on it, transforming it back into a Flaming Bow.
She placed a Flame Arrow on the bow, the arrow tail connecting to a bright thin line, each wrapped by the Light of the Star Soul composing Fire Elements, with every line pulling a Purgatory Spirit.
Gathering momentum, the arrow was released, the Flame Arrow swiftly shot out, trailing behind a sparkle of starlike firelight.
The first arrow struck Lady Hestia’s chest, immediately followed by the impact of a dense Arrow Rain.
Just as water drops gather to form a river, the power of these young girls alone could not possibly shake the mountain-like Giant Beast even if they all unleashed the flame, but there were dozens of them, and the continuous fire rain was a force not to be underestimated.
Under the arrow rain, Lady Hestia took two steps back, her previous ferocious momentum also ceased, silently watching everyone in the rain curtain.
"Does this really work?"
Meimei’s eyes widened; she could sense the ordinary power of the arrow rain. Outside, even a regular Excellence Realm would have to avoid this strike, but she didn’t think it was enough to stop the Star Soul’s assault.
Othella was panting, not from physical weakness but from the exhaustion of power, the Purgatory Spirit beside her also dimmed in firelight, turning back into a cloak draped over her.
Leaving Lupus, this power indeed could hold a place among Nebis’ Sky Knights, but here, able to produce an effect, could it be because of their shared source with the Star Soul Power?
While Meimei was wondering, she saw Zoe fly towards the halted Molten Mountain Behemoth. Othella also arrived beside the Young Girl from high in the sky.
The Young Girl’s body lit up with Divine Light covered in tiny runes, standing on Star Soul’s head, her feet making a hissing sound upon contact with the scorching skin, her hands reaching through the giant bull’s forehead, extending inside.
At this moment, Zoe seemed to have become an Illusion Body, her hand grasping something inside, then pulling it up with all her strength.
The crazed firelight in the giant bull’s eyes faded for a moment, then quickly covered again, such a deadlock repeating many times, until the girl with powerful waist strength gave a mighty effort, her body straightening, hands seemingly pulling something out from inside, held high.
Her arm leaving the Star Soul was being burned by a high-temperature Magic Power, the tender skin covered with blisters and coagulated blood, as if she had just lifted a heavy object from a foul-smelling and boiling sludge pool.
"Your hand..." Othella’s soft voice trembled.
"Not yet! Help!" Zoe shouted at her.
"Ah? Okay!"
Othella initially intended to grab Zoe’s arm but dared not press those scars, she nervously checked and saw a thread of Light of the Star Soul faintly appearing, connecting between the Young Girl and Lady Hestia.
Othella also tightly grasped that starlight.
As soon as her hands touched it, a force as if it was burning her spirit to ashes transmitted from inside, Othella’s palm released, the pull between Zoe and the Star Soul immediately retracted a bit.
The Young Girl immediately felt as if her heart was struck by lightning, with boundless pain threatening to engulf her senses.
Again... because of my cowardice, failure?
You always cause everyone’s efforts to be in vain because you’re scared! — childhood friends used to say.
You acting like this, we can’t conduct our schooling normally — the school principal implying something.
You shouldn’t do it, what can you do? The guests just want to say a few more words to you, why run — the shop owner scolded.
But Lady Hestia always gently watched over me and everyone.
Only her, only her, I don’t want her to leave!
Othella again gripped the Energy Beam, helping Zoe pull.
Within this light seemed to really contain the spirit of the Star Soul’s thoughts, and carried the energy holding memories, Meimei realized, Zoe relying on the Star Soul Greenhouse’s power, irrationally solidified the ’consciousness’ concept into a tangible entity.
Their efforts combined, and behind Othella, each Purgatory Spirit also emerged, joining this contest of strength.
Meimei mobilized Magic Power, the Water Fairy Armor forming a vague human-shaped Water Illusion Body reaching their side, lending assistance.
Amidst the Molten Mountain Behemoth’s long moo, its eyes finally shed the madness, quietly gazing at the Young Girls before it.
Its pupils, akin to deep, moist lakes, perfectly reflected Zoe and Othella.
"I didn’t expect I could regain clarity at this moment..."
The Star Soul’s voice was low and slightly hoarse, yet filled with maternal warmth.
"Lady Hestia, that’s wonderful..." Othella cried.
After gazing at the Beast-eared Maiden for a while, Hestia looked at Zoe: "Unexpectedly, our waiting wasn’t in vain, this world truly welcomes another Divine Child."
Zoe opened her mouth, seeing Hestia’s memories, understanding that her words implied something deeper, rather than simply treating her Star Soul Greenhouse physique as what the Star Souls needed most like before.
"Resonate with me, restore your strength, and go destroy the demon outside." Zoe said.
The giant bull’s face showed a human-like smile, it seemed to nostalgically sigh something, shaking its head, bringing up hot Wind Stream.
"It’s too late, the demonized one is deeply connected with me, there is no salvation for me."
The Star Soul’s body suddenly sunk, Othella and the Purgatory Spirits nearby cautiously approached, but it struggled to stand on its own again.
