When Wanyūdō perished, a fiery-colored orb appeared in its place, and a Spirit Orb was acquired.
With the Spirit Orb Mo Shuying obtained from killing Orochi earlier, he now possessed seven of the twelve Spirit Orbs.
Wanyūdō Spirit Orb
Equipping grants Speed Boost (C)
Effect Gained: Wanyūdō's Fire
Activate Wanyūdō's Fire: Attacks have a chance to petrify the target. Damage to petrified targets is increased by 30%.
Orochi Spirit Orb
Equipping grants Regeneration Boost (B)
Gains Magic Resistance Boost (B+)
Effect Gained: Orochi Soul Blade
Condenses Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi using Orochi's soul power, continuously consuming Mana.
Effect Gained: Orochi Soul Lock
Summons Orochi's spirit form to attack the target. Maintaining requires significant Mana consumption.
Of the two Spirit Orbs, Orochi's was clearly top-tier, making Wanyūdō's seem quite inferior by comparison.
While comparing goods often leads to discarding the lesser, Mo Shuying didn't throw away the Wanyūdō Spirit Orb. He kept it, thinking it might be useful someday.
Just as Mo Shuying collected the Wanyūdō Spirit Orb, a bolt of lightning struck the sky with a roar! Mo Shuying looked up, only to see a shadowy lightning figure hurtling towards him at extreme speed, filled with a frantic killing intent!
"Die!!"
A female voice accompanied the approaching thunder, instantly landing. A long blade struck the ground, and lightning surged, tearing apart the surrounding earth!
Mo Shuying had already retreated to the side, just outside the lightning's attack range.
"By my master's command! Eliminate the intruder!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou straightened up. Her tall frame was only half a head shorter than Mo Shuying's. Such height was exceptionally rare among Japanese women, not to mention Minamoto-no-Raikou's astonishing assets!
Seeing it was Minamoto-no-Raikou, Mo Shuying couldn't help but swallow. He felt a primal, almost infantile urge stirring within him. Is this not too heavy? Won't it cause an imbalance?
Minamoto-no-Raikou noticed Mo Shuying's gaze. Her eyes hardened, and a surge of lightning emanated from the famous blade Doji-giri Yasutsuna in her hand! She lunged at Mo Shuying with a thrust!
"*Boom!*"
A bolt of lightning shot towards Mo Shuying, incredibly fast, attempting to pierce through him. But Mo Shuying truly wasn't afraid of elemental attacks!
"*Rumble!!*"
The lightning struck Mo Shuying, expected to pierce his body, but it exploded upon touching his palm.
Smoke spread, concealing Mo Shuying within. Minamoto-no-Raikou frowned, as she instantly lost all sense of Mo Shuying's Presence Concealment.
Presence Concealment!
It was Mo Shuying's specialty.
After his realm improved, it gained enhanced effects. He was actually standing still, not moving at all, yet he made Minamoto-no-Raikou lose her target.
"Presence Concealment, then? As expected, are you also a Servant? Then, could you tell this one, which faction's Servant are you? Do you dare to reveal your name?"
Minamoto-no-Raikou gripped her long blade, vigilantly surveying her surroundings. Though she was a Berserker, she hadn't lost her sanity. Even EX-ranked Mad Enhancement only manifested her demonic nature in her blood and her twisted maternal affection.
A Berserker who hadn't lost their reason was the most troublesome, just like Mo Shuying now.
Possessing Heracles's power yet not going mad—that was practically cheating!
"No answer? How cowardly! Thunder, come forth!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou raised her blade to the sky. Dark clouds gathered in the red sky, lightning flashed, followed by a deluge of thunderbolts!
"*Rumble rumble rumble!*"
The entire area transformed into a lightning hell.
Fortunately, this wasn't within a city, or it would have caused immense damage.
Minamoto-no-Raikou's confident attack, she thought that even if it didn't kill Mo Shuying, it would force him out. Who knew...
"..."
There was no reaction whatsoever. Minamoto-no-Raikou even wondered if Mo Shuying had already escaped!
And just as Minamoto-no-Raikou hesitated, a hand glowing with spectral fire reached for the back of her neck. Siphoning Strike was pressed down without mercy! Minamoto-no-Raikou felt her hairs stand on end at the back of her neck! Her slender waist twisted quickly! Doji-giri Yasutsuna horizontally blocked Mo Shuying's grab!
"*Bang!*"
"Ugh!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou grunted, dropping to one knee. Mo Shuying's strength was terrifyingly immense, far exceeding Minamoto-no-Raikou's expectations. She had nearly failed to withstand it.
But her current posture wasn't very flattering. Minamoto-no-Raikou knelt there, pressing Doji-giri Yasutsuna with both hands, only to find that under Mo Shuying's pressure, she couldn't move!
"You!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou gritted her teeth, her body trembling slightly, and a fine sheen of sweat appeared on her face. She was beginning to understand that sometimes, differences couldn't be overcome by sheer will.
Mo Shuying gazed at Minamoto-no-Raikou with an appreciative eye. He couldn't help it; she was simply too captivating. Any man would find it hard not to stare, especially at such a beautiful woman trembling in that manner. Even if Minamoto-no-Raikou's gaze could kill, Mo Shuying felt it would be a sweet end.
"So, you're Minamoto-no-Raikou, a legendary demon slayer. Why are you now in league with demons and monsters?"
Mo Shuying spoke. He knew a bit about Minamoto-no-Raikou's exploits; the Doji-giri Yasutsuna in her hand was named after she slew Shuten Doji.
That's right, Minamoto-no-Raikou killed Shuten Doji. By all accounts, she and Shuten Doji were enemies!
"None of your business!"
*Boom!*
Minamoto-no-Raikou erupted with powerful lightning, but as the lightning enveloped Mo Shuying, she realized it had no effect on him whatsoever. He just kept staring at her body, his eyes unmoving!
"You!"
Minamoto-no-Raikou had no idea how astonishing Mo Shuying's defense was, coupled with his HP, which was thicker than a city wall. Such a small attack wasn't even enough to trigger his passive regeneration.
Deeply enraged, Minamoto-no-Raikou's eyes began to turn purple! Her fangs subtly extended! And a pair of lightning-infused ox horns appeared on her forehead!
"Agh!!"
*Boom!*
This time, Minamoto-no-Raikou unleashed her full power, finally causing Mo Shuying's arm to lift. She retreated a distance, her chest heaving violently, her fury surging! The ferocity of the Ushi-Oni was unleashed! Minamoto-no-Raikou's rationality began to be suppressed!
"Ox-King's Thunder Call! Heaven's Net!"
In her rage, Minamoto-no-Raikou activated her Noble Phantasm! A massive amount of purple lightning surged around her! The lightning coalesced into a magnificent, bull-headed beast! As Minamoto-no-Raikou thrust the Doji-giri Yasutsuna forward, the beast opened its mouth and spewed out a brilliant pillar of lightning!
*Boom!!*
The lightning struck, incredibly fast, but Mo Shuying could easily evade it. However, Mo Shuying didn't dodge. Instead, he switched cards, and a layer of leather armor quickly appeared on his body, while a massive Mjolnir materialized in his hand.
"Smash it! For me!!"
*Boom!!*
Mo Shuying swung Mjolnir! The already enormous Mjolnir doubled in size! It struck the incoming lightning with a heavy blow!
*Boom sizzle sizzle!!*
The collision of lightning sounded like a thousand birds chirping. Mjolnir became like a bottomless pit, absorbing all the incoming lightning.
Mo Shuying could feel Mjolnir accumulating and increasing in power. When Minamoto-no-Raikou's attack ended, she looked weakly at Mo Shuying, who was holding the divine hammer, and then he swung it at her!
*Boom!*
The lightning! All of it returned!!
