Chapter 51. Koi
Without the godly help of Ninja Blade, Char would have to soak in the water for at least two days to find the key, and he might even have to trouble Luke. This time, the broken key did not appear in the water.
Finally, it would take at least three days to search back and forth in the secret passage with the incense that chased away the seafood people.
In short, their luck was really good, for both of them.
"Try to use [Purification] on it."
Char raised the key in front of Mia, and the Priestess immediately clenched her hands and prayed quietly.
A few seconds later, a golden light that illuminated the surroundings enveloped Char and the key in his hand, and slowly shrank.
The ball of light seemed to have been pierced by a needle, and the speed at which it shrank suddenly accelerated, its shape also becoming irregular. In the end, the golden light disappeared in an awkward manner, turning into a ball of chewed gum that wrapped around the key.
"Hey, hey! What is this?"
Mia was so surprised that her eyes widened. Regardless of whether the [Purification] purified something or not, it would flash and disappear, leaving nothing behind. What was this? There was actually something that could eat up the spell, and even eat the leftovers!
"As expected, it's useless. Thinking about it, it makes sense. It's impossible to leave such an obvious back door."
Char scraped off the sticky substance on the key and washed it in water. It was no different from before.
This was the remnant of the gods' great battle. As expected, it could not be purified so easily. After all, it was the power of the gods. The Eighth Holy Spirit, Siege, who was besieged by the Seven Holy Spirits, was also known as the Mortal Heavenly God. He was a mortal who walked the path of Gods step by step, and finally abandoned his poor mortal body to embrace machinery.
The remaining power on the key was his own, and it had a strong rejection of divine power. [Purification] was also a type of divine power, so it would naturally be opposed to it. This dirty thing was the result-the divine power as the main body of the divine power was eliminated, and the other impurities suddenly shrank into a sticky mist.
To completely unseal the key, he still had to go through the proper process.
However, before that, he could block anyone who used divine spells on him with the key.
However, if that really happened, the believers of the Seven Holy Spirits alone would be enough to drown him. This thing was just a broken key, and the special characteristics were just a bonus. The door that could be opened by itself was the most important.
"Tell me, Char! What the hell is this!"
Char had never been able to withstand Mia's coquettishness. After all, she was pressing her chest against him.
Char explained everything in detail, as such a small number of things were not enough to affect her faith.
"Oh, so there are also mixed elements in divine spells. Do you know what that is?"
"How would I know?"
Char rolled his eyes.
"So, there's something that Char doesn't know," Mia mumbled. Her delicate side profile made him irresistible.
After being delayed by Ninja Blade for five to six minutes, the two of them continued their journey.
In the underground river beside him, there were fluorescent lights, like shining stars in the dark night sky. With the help of these faint lights, the surface of the rugged rock walls on both sides of the river could be seen, as well as the glowing gravel left on it after being wet by the water.
This was the scale on the surface of the body of the Fluorescent Giant-mouthed Fish, the Koi of the underground river.
Char understood that the Koi were coming.
The Fluorescent Giant-mouthed Fish was probably designed to arouse the enthusiasm of the players. This thing had extremely high defense against both physical and magical attacks. It came with a movement restriction effect reduced by 99% and a luck buff that was almost permanently immune to control. If killed, it would drop glowing gravel and scales on the ground, and it would cause an explosion
These things only had one use.
It could be sold for a lot of money.
That was why it was called a Koi, a fish that could make people rich overnight. This was much more useful than any repost.
Usually, when Char wanted to kill this fish, he would chase it in and out of the undercurrent, putting on a special performance of swimming in the waves and slowly grinding it to death as if cutting meat with a blunt knife. However, he had brought a level 50 Priestess with him today, so it was really convenient to deal with this thing! Divine spells dealt true damage!
Defense against both physical and demonic attacks, huh?
"Wait for my signal and throw a [Holy Explosion] into the water."
"Okay!"
Mia's eyes were wide open as she stared at the river, and she let Char lead her forward.
The two of them moved forward slowly, and Char listened carefully to the sound of the river.
Suddenly, there was a sound, as if the sound of bubbles being spat out came from the water. The sound was almost inaudible, and even if one heard it, they would not pay much attention to it. However, Char was extremely sensitive to it.
After all, the Koi he had caught in all those years added up could fill up the fish tank that Mayenne was in!
"Now!"
As soon as Char's voice fell, a blazing golden light flew out from Mia's hand.
It was only the size of a basketball when it left her hand, but it was bright and hot. When the ball plunged into the underground river in a strange parabola, it suddenly expanded to a diameter of one or two meters. The high temperature in the water caused a sharp sizzling sound. For a moment, white fog filled the air and shrouded the entire underground river.
When the river water evaporated, nothing could be seen. However, Char heard a sound that symbolized the fish coming ashore.
It was the sound of a fish beating the ground before it died.
Then, a ball of light exploded in the air. The scales that glowed spontaneously and the sand that refracted the light were mixed and scattered on the ground.
Char shot forward like an arrow and arrived at the fish's corpse one after the other with Mia's [Purification]. She then spread her hands on the ground, and the ground was instantly licked clean!
[Fluorescent Gravel (Fish Scales)]. The item description was unusually simple, with only two words...
"Sell it!"
At the same time, the body of the giant fish was evaporating at a speed visible to the naked eye. The girl who had finished purifying the souls of the giant fish was unusually quiet, as quiet as the God of Death.
'I'm really f*cking racing with the God of Death.'
"Alright, let's continue!"
"Oh, oh!"
Half an hour later, the two of them finally arrived at the place where Simon and the other three were tied up.
From the moment they arrived at the fight club and when Maica evacuated the fighters and gamblers, Luke had guessed that Char was here, so he had the sea monster clear out a group of seafood people in advance, and the rest of the road was smooth.
Simon and his three friends were knocked out, and the Sea Monster also dived into the fish tank.
Luke just stood there quietly, his thin body was like a lonely weed, rooted in the desolate desert. Tippi was in front of him.
He instinctively did not want anyone to see Mayenne, and he did not want anyone to know about his relationship with that ugly monster.
"Luke! You are indeed here!"
Mia bit her lips. She wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Char.
"If he yearns for your embrace, he wouldn't have left you..." Char tried to be as vague as he could, but he also tried not to hurt Mia.
Luke rejected Mia not only because she was Fredrick's apprentice, but also because she was like a ball of fire that did not know how to control her temperature. Not all love could be accepted. Mia was a child who did not know how to love someone. Mentally, she was younger than Luke, but she did her best to express the love of an older sister.
However, with her ability, she could not do this at all. After all, her mental age was younger than Luke.
Some people were born to be loved, like Mia. The person who loved her would receive far more than this love. There was nothing wrong with her concern for Luke, but the way she did it was wrong. Just like most parents who would never get tired of pampering their children. It was too narrow-minded and inappropriate.
As for Luke, he matured early due to his loneliness.
Due to this, he was lonely and used to it already.
"Nice catch, Luke."
Char smiled at him and pointed at the wooden poles where Simon and the others were tied up.
Luke could not help but smile as well. Char's words gave him a sense of comfort that he had never felt before. They had reached an invisible tacit cooperation, and then received the other party's praise.
It felt good...
However, when his eyes fell on Mia's face, his expression could not help but freeze. He then waved his hands in a panic, picked up Tippi, and jumped into the water.
"Eh?"
