“It's simple. Since we can't kill it, we just don't kill it. We just make it weak.”
“Weak? That is a good way to deal with the Undying attribute, but how do we actually implement it?”
“I can't speak for other things, but for that giant eyeball over there, making it weak isn't actually that hard.”
“Specifically?”
“It's an eyeball. Putting aside the differences between Hell and Blue Star, the water content should be around 70% to 80%. Even if it's different from Blue Star, it should at least be 30% to 40%, right? I think just draining that water would deal a heavy blow to it. We can worry about attacking then.”
Under the expectant gazes of the group, Magician used his biological knowledge to show off.
The others broke into applause.
“Brilliant!”
“Why didn't I think of that?”
“In that case, the problem now is how to get within its two-hundred-meter range to drain that water.”
“I can get in.”
“Are you talking about that gray mist you had earlier?”
“Yes. It can block vision, so getting in shouldn't be a problem. The key is how to drain the water.”
Lan Qingyou nodded.
“If you want to drain it, you can try these.”
With that, Wheel of Fortune pulled out ten objects that were as thick as buckets and as long as utility poles—syringes!!?
“This... I didn't expect you to play so rough, Fortune.”
“Heh.”
Not knowing what to say for a moment, Lan Qingyou could only offer a joking jab. However, after seeing Wheel of Fortune’s thin, forced smile, she immediately wiped the grin off her face.
“This is information I gathered from my divination before coming here. Although I didn't know what they would be used for, I still ordered them from The Moon and Chariot.”
Good grief, is that how divination is used?
Wait, it actually seemed to be exactly how it should be used.
After all, in ancient times on Blue Star, people would perform divinations before going on an expedition. So, there was nothing wrong with Wheel of Fortune using divination like this.
But this diviner is a bit too versatile, isn't she?
Lan Qingyou complained inwardly as she took the giant syringes.
Still, with these giant syringes, draining the water would indeed be much more convenient.
What! You say just stab it with a knife?
Lan Qingyou didn't dare do that with a monster of this level.
After all, she was someone who had read the Monster Encyclopedia. She knew very well that while the structure of monsters in this world was often similar to Blue Star's organisms, their composition was vastly different.
Otherwise, the eye of a stray Three-eyed Crow wouldn't have allowed Lan Qingyou to unlock an SSR-grade skill like Magic Eye.
No one knew what the water inside this giant eyeball was made of, and no one knew what the consequences of popping it would be.
“Alright then, I'm going now, before it gets closer and starts spamming those ray skills.”
Having received the giant syringes, Lan Qingyou gave a quick shout and flew toward Ksuya's Eye, which was slowly 'swimming' toward the World Tree Boat.
“I'm starting to feel like the Witch of the Tower could solo this dungeon by herself,” the High Priestess murmured as she watched Lan Qingyou’s departing figure.
“Don't say that. It makes us look like we're just standing around like idiots,” The Sun rubbed the bridge of her nose.
Originally, she had come here with a playful mindset, wanting to level up and experience this 'dungeon' mentioned by the world consciousness.
But who could have guessed that after fighting all the way to the end on the first day, there would basically be nothing for her to do?
Whether it was the analysis of the magic circles or the logistics, she didn't seem to be able to help at all.
This time was even more excessive. An SS-grade boss appeared, and not only could she not attack, she couldn't even leave the safety zone.
Her spirit attribute was similar to the Hierophant's, and it was obvious what state the Hierophant was in right now.
It wasn't that she couldn't charge forward by relying on her talent.
She might be able to tank two or three of those ray attacks, but that was it. It was easy to imagine what would happen once her mana points ran out.
Especially since the giant eyeball had begun firing rays at them incessantly after breaking free from the ice; the frequency was simply not something she could counter.
However, she couldn't stand just watching others take action.
She took out a small, golden, horn-shaped item engraved with Runes.
This was a World Item she had created herself, which had been recognized by the world consciousness—the Golden Horn of Giallihu.
“Othala, Laguz, Sowilo, Raido... Let all the water before my eyes start its own journey.”
After a string of incantations that no one could understand, Ingrid, also known as The Sun, spoke her 'wish' and raised the horn to blow.
Wuuu—
A dull horn blast echoed from the ship. A ring of golden light expanded from the horn, then spread out like a ripple.
In almost an instant, the sound of the horn spread through the tiny bay where the ships were anchored and across the sea ahead.
Lan Qingyou, who had activated her Black Witch Smoke, thought she was moving quite fast.
But when the sound of the horn arrived, accompanied by the golden light, she had only flown halfway.
Then, she saw the seawater below boiling as if it were being heated, with bubbles constantly rising. The water level dropped lower and lower, rapidly vanishing.
By the time Lan Qingyou was about to reach Ksuya's Eye, the seawater below had completely disappeared, revealing a seabed covered in sludge, seaweed, coral, flopping fish, and many tattered shipwrecks.
Ksuya's Eye fell from the surface to the 'ground' like a child tripping. She watched, dumbfounded.
The others on the ship were equally stunned.
Because the seawater had vanished, the World Tree Boat, which had been swaying on the surface, also dropped toward the ground like Ksuya's Eye.
Fortunately, the bay was very narrow, and the ship got wedged between the rocks on both sides, preventing it from capsizing.
“How did you do that?”
The High Priestess's mouth hung open slightly as she looked at The Sun in shock, not forgetting to ask.
Good grief, that was a huge area of sea. With just a chant and a blow of a horn, it was gone.
This was practically a miracle.
At the very least, current humans were incapable of such a feat.
“It is but a trivial trick, not worth mentioning.”
Ingrid’s face was now deathly pale, and her purple lips trembled involuntarily. A thin trail of crimson leaked from the corner of her mouth as she gave a pained smile.
“You should replenish your mana points first. Judging by the skill you just used, it must have drained you completely.”
Wheel of Fortune, seeing that the other woman had paid a high price for that strike, handed over an Intermediate Mana Potion with the stopper already removed.
The Sun didn't waste any words, taking it and downing it in one go.
Drained?
How could this skill be as simple as just draining mana?
To put it simply, the Golden Horn was like a magnifying glass, relying on the Runes on the horn to amplify her 'wish'.
And the price was an 'overdraft'.
