On the other side, Mona transformed into a current of water, continuously phasing through the air.
Before she had even reached her target, she heard a loud explosion.
BOOM!
A wooden house was directly smashed to pieces, and a figure was sent flying into the distance by the blast.
Mona frowned. "It seems the battle has already started. I absolutely cannot let anyone here get hurt!"
A membrane of water appeared, and she actually passed through the wall, arriving inside the room.
The demon inside was in the middle of attacking Tanjiro Kamado, but a water bubble had unexpectedly blocked its path.
"What is this?" the anger-clone, Sekido, asked, looking at the water bubble that was obstructing him with a puzzled expression.
Tanjiro was also startled by the newcomer, but when he saw the Hydro Vision on her body, he instantly understood: this person was an expert from Liyue.
"Alright, now that I've arrived, the battle is over," Mona said, stretching out her finger. Three lances of water condensed at her fingertips.
BOOM!
With just a light tap, this clone of Hantengu was directly blown to pieces. The terrifying power had even obliterated half of its body.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat, many of the members were startled by Mona's combat power.
Jean:Her combat power is that strong? She destroyed the enemy so easily.
Ganyu:This is the application of Haki. Mona, aside from her necessary astrology, spends all her time training. And the enemy just now wasn't that strong. It's just that Diluc's Haki proficiency isn't high enough yet. If he had just used an internal-destruction strike, he could have easily one-shot that disgusting fish-man. But he was careless and got poisoned, and the enemy's scales were very high-defense. It's normal that he had a hard time.
Mona, on the other hand, was different. She was enhanced by both types of Haki, and she trained hard every day. Her true strength was, in fact, already far greater than Diluc's!
Before the enemy could even react, Mona had already teleported into the air. The Hydro element quickly condensed in her hands to form a longbow, which she aimed at the pleasure-clone, Karaku, who was flying in the distance.
"You're not getting away."
The clone was soaring through the air when a splash of water suddenly hit his body.
BOOM!
The blow, imbued with Haki and the Hydro element, directly caused the blood in the enemy's body to explode.
A firework of blood bloomed in the sky.
"What's happening?!" The people in the village were startled by the bloody firework in the sky.
Mona, having completed this blow, couldn't help but frown, because the enemy had not died.
"Don't tell me he's still hiding?"
She expanded her spiritual perception once more. Under the power of Observation Haki, Mona captured it: in a drainpipe beneath the wooden house, an existence the size of a rat was escaping to another location.
And the place he was going was actually a residential house, where six people were hiding inside, trembling.
"Not good! The enemy is going to attack the humans!" Mona's figure quickly flashed.
If Hantengu was allowed to eat a human, the mission's difficulty would probably be lowered! She absolutely could not let him eat anyone!
In the dark sky, her figure continuously flew towards the distant house.
At this moment, Hantengu, in the pipe, had a face full of resentment.
Why has another accident occurred? Is this the person Lord Muzan was talking about, the one who defeated Upper Rank Three? Damn it all! I'm clearly a good person. Why are they chasing me?
Recalling the terror of his opponent instantly killing his clones, Hantengu couldn't help but tremble. It was too terrifying. He had to quickly eat some humans, recover his strength, and escape. He didn't care about anything else. As long as he could get away alive, that was all that mattered.
Just as Hantengu crawled out of the pipe, preparing to taste the human flesh in the room, he found that a blue water bubble had appeared in front of him.
Have I been discovered? Hantengu's heart jumped.
He turned his head, wanting to flee, but he found that his body had been enveloped by countless streams of water.
"You're a good little mouse, aren't you? Hehe. But still, it's time to die, you disgusting thing."
A water arrow burst forth, and Hantengu's main body was directly disintegrated.
With this, both demons had been eliminated.
"Phew, that was a close one." Mona looked at the mission marker in the group chat and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Before accepting the mission, she had thought it would be very simple. But it was only after arriving in this world that she understood. The mission was a complete trap.
The number of humans killed by the two demons had to be less than ten! But when she and Diluc had arrived, nine people had already died. This meant that the humans killed during the initial invasion were also counted!
The difficulty wasn't high; it was just a pure trap.
Especially with a guy like Hantengu, who used clones to fight. If one was careless and let him escape and eat a single person, the mission reward would be directly lowered.
After Mona completed the mission, the group's notification chimed.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the 4-star Multiverse Mission. You have received a mission reward of 40,000 points.]
[Hint: You may choose to return immediately or remain for a short while.]
[Note: The maximum time you can remain is half an hour.]
The other side, Diluc, had also received the same. Seeing the notification, he directly chose to return. The Demon Slayer world was a low-level one, and there wasn't much value to be squeezed out of it. So, after the mission was done, they could just go back.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat.
Mona:Wooohooo! I'm finally a Level 2 member! This feels great! Although this mission was a trap and the reward was a bit low, leveling up feels so good.
Diluc:I was a bit of a disgrace. But if there's another mission next time, I will resolve the enemy more quickly.
Kaedehara Kazuha:Don't be discouraged. You've already done very well. The enemy's techniques were indeed a bit disgusting.
As long as he became proficient in Haki and used the chakra refinement method to cultivate his elemental power, Diluc's strength would enter a stage of rapid growth. Dealing with these enemies in the future would just be a small problem.
Lisa:A four-star mission really can't be underestimated. Even if the world is simple, the conditions are very strict. It's a good thing it was a two-person team this time. If it had been a solo mission, it would have definitely been downgraded to a three-star.
Ningguang:Indeed. Although we've had this situation before, it wasn't like this time, where a slight oversight would lower the reward. We've gained some valuable experience today. By the way, Mona, now that you've leveled up, you should go and do your independent mission soon. That way, your next independent mission will refresh faster.
Yae Miko:There's such a thing?
Beidou:Uh, you didn't know?
Kamisato Ayaka:Lady Yae Guuji, don't tell me you haven't done your independent mission yet?
Looking at the questions in the group, Yae Miko was dumbfounded. Because she really hadn't. She had originally planned to save both missions and do them together. As a result, now they were telling her that if she didn't do the mission, the next one wouldn't refresh? What a ripoff!
Yae Miko:…No one told me! What a huge loss! I'm going to do my mission first, talk to you all in a bit!
Mona:Hehe, I'm going to do my independent mission too! See you all in a bit!
Su Han:Good luck, you two.
After blessing the two of them, he began to accept his rewards for this mission. Because it was a team mission, the reward would be automatically lowered a bit, but that was fine. It was still a twenty percent additional reward.
[Ding! Congratulations to members Mona/Diluc for completing the 4-star Multiverse Mission. As the Group Leader, this mission has generated an additional strategic reward: 16,000 Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to members Mona/Diluc for completing the 4-star mission. As the Group Leader, this mission has generated the primary strategic asset: Art of Wood Manipulation.]
[Art of Wood Manipulation]: Can manipulate trees to transform into a Wood Dragon and change forms for attack or defense. If there are no trees, additional power will be consumed to create them.
[Note]: Trees created by this art are illusory bodies. When the power fades, the trees will quickly wither.
"Isn't this Zohakuten's power?" Su Han looked at the mission reward, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
The power to manipulate trees was very rare. And in the world of Demon Slayer, creating a wood dragon to attack was already no different from the Wood Style. In that case, did this mean that he could also master the power of the Wood Style?
Su Han quickly began to try it out. As he activated the power, a small tree broke through the ground and quickly grew into a tree three meters in diameter. Soon, the bark of the tree shattered, and a dragon's head grew out from the top of the trunk.
"First, let's test its power."
With a thought, Su Han sent the wood dragon crashing into a distant cliff. With a boom, a large crater was smashed into it.
Su Han's eyes lit up. The power was not bad, especially since it was made of wood. At the same time, this technique would be very convenient if he was fighting in a forest.
However, the weakness was also very obvious. A wood dragon was, after all, made of wood and was afraid of flames.
Su Han then used his Pure Yang True Fire to fight the wood dragon. As a result, the wood dragon only lasted for thirty seconds before it was disintegrated by the flames.
And if he was more than a hundred meters away, the wood dragon would lose his control.
"Then what about a wood dragon versus the Hydro element?"
Su Han took out some bottles of Hydro element and tried it out. As it turned out, when the wood dragon encountered the Hydro element, its destructive power, attack speed, and even its reproduction speed all significantly increased. The Hydro element could greatly enhance the wood dragon's power, while the Pyro element could counter it.
"It's a pity it's not the true Wood Style, but it's still very useful."
Su Han composed himself, preparing to return to Mondstadt.
At this moment, news came from the group. Mona had completed a two-star independent mission and, with great luck, had obtained a "Summon Water Elemental" spell! That's right, the chubby water elemental of the mages from World of Warcraft. It looked like a simpleton and was very cute.
And Yae Miko had also completed her mission, but it was a pity that hers was only a one-star. The reward was a pot of singing sunflowers, which were said to be able to produce one "Sun Fruit" every day, which could restore magical power when eaten. Very magical.
