"Warning, the Guardian Berserker has been destroyed by humans. Berserker will be punished. Geomantic Power will converge, strengthening and attracting more powerful monsters. Monster attack frequency will increase.
Warning, the last Guardian must protect themselves. In three days, the Holy Relic will be fully formed."
"."
Mo Shuying's mouth hung open. He was astonished by how efficient Illya and the others were.
It hadn't been long since Caster Mom's warning, yet Berserker had already followed the fate of the other five.
"Only I'm left. Why do I suddenly feel like I'm about to win a chicken dinner? The Holy Relic will be formed in three days. I wonder if those girls can find me within that time."
Mo Shuying immediately activated Presence Concealment. He had decided to spend the next few days entirely under Presence Concealment. As long as he maintained this state, it would be difficult for the outside world to detect his presence.
He just needed to last three days, Mo Shuying told himself silently.
But no sooner had he thought it than:
*"Buzz~"*
A pillar of light appeared not far away. Following it, a pitch-black male lion emerged, majestic and full of presence.
The day's task of eliminating monsters had been completed, but after Berserker's destruction, new monsters reappeared.
Mo Shuying glanced at his experience points. He was almost level 20. This lion looked strong; it should be worth a good amount of experience.
Mo Shuying licked his lips as he looked at the lion not far away, then moved quickly to approach it.
*"Roar!!"*
The black lion roared, its body over three meters tall walking through the street. Its tail was very long, at least seven or eight meters. On closer inspection, the tip of its tail had a hook like a scorpion's tail.
It was a Manticore!
This creature thrashed its tail as it walked, and the nearby utility poles couldn't withstand a single hit, snapping like a continuous lightning whip.
Because Mo Shuying had concealed his presence, this large creature couldn't find a target and could only wander aimlessly in the wide world. Soon, it spotted a large pit.
*"Roar?"*
The Manticore leaned over and sniffed. It smelled like an underground lava field. Manticores generally lived in the underground world, close to the earth's core, where omnipresent lava made the entire underground world extremely hot.
The gases emitted by the lava were foul-smelling and toxic. The Manticore caught a familiar burnt scent near this large pit.
Just as it was about to turn and leave, at that moment:
*"Awoo~"*
The Manticore turned its head and saw two "big dogs" appear beside it without warning. These dogs, with several strange canisters strapped to their backs, were looking at it excitedly, while a large amount of gas spewed from the canisters.
*"Roar!!"*
The Manticore roared, and its tail lashed out like lightning! It instantly pierced through a Speed Wolf's body, drawing a large amount of blood.
This blood turned black and purple due to toxins. In just an instant, the highly potent toxins spread throughout the Speed Wolf's body.
However, in the Manticore's memory, prey attacked by its toxins usually writhed in extreme pain on the ground. But this prey was different; a joyful expression appeared on its wolf face!
Yes! Joy!
While it was still wondering, a flaming bottle suddenly flew at it! The Manticore, alert, flicked its tail mid-air, shattering the bottle. But the flames spread, and countless fiery raindrops poured down. In an instant!
*"Boom!!"*
A mushroom cloud rose high. It was another peaceful day.
At this moment, Mo Shuying had already flashed far away, looking at the rising mushroom cloud and muttering to himself.
"It seems I don't have many Gas Canisters left. I should go find more later."
Mo Shuying only had six Gas Canisters left in his storage space, and the lack of firepower made him uneasy.
*"Roar!!"*
Just then, a roar from a giant beast caught Mo Shuying's attention.
"It's quite resistant to explosions. Does it have some kind of fire resistance?"
Mo Shuying didn't act rashly. He could sense that the Manticore was still very powerful; the previous explosion seemed to have done little damage, which left Mo Shuying feeling a bit dejected.
As expected, his firepower was weak, making Mo Shuying feel somewhat unconfident.
The Manticore was strong, the strongest monster he had encountered so far.
Mo Shuying had felt it the moment it appeared. This was a different feeling from the previous monsters.
Heavy. The Manticore standing there gave Mo Shuying an unshakeable aura.
To be honest, if he had to choose an opponent, Mo Shuying would prefer Caster Mom, who wasn't at Ryuudou Temple, rather than the Manticore.
"What should I do…"
Suicide attacks were ineffective, and Mo Shuying didn't believe he could win in close combat. For a moment, he was at a loss.
"I wonder if there are other methods… Hmm?"
Mo Shuying suddenly thought of something. He reached out and took out several cards—they were Class Cards.
"If I could Install, wouldn't that work?"
Install, as it's called, involves drawing on the power of a Heroic Spirit to possess oneself, effectively transforming into a Heroic Spirit and gaining access to their incredible strength.
But there was a problem: Mo Shuying was already a Heroic Spirit.
I have swords, guns, bows, mounts, and magic. I heard Manticores have magic-resistant skin, they even withstood fire explosions, so magic probably won't work. That leaves...
Excluding Caster, Mo Shuying looked at the other four cards. Finally, he picked up Archer.
I wonder if this will work.
Mo Shuying held the Archer card, a serious expression on his face, and let out a low roar!
"*Install!*"
...
Nothing happened.
He tried injecting Mana.
"*Om~*"
A longbow appeared, but there were no arrows!
With just a bow and no arrows, Mo Shuying's mouth twitched twice.
Seriously, even if you just gave me a pair of Ganzhiang and Moye, that would be fine...
He waved his hand, turning the bow back into a card. Mo Shuying hesitated for a moment, then pressed the card to his chest.
He remembered that after Illya's transformation, the card flew out of her body. This suggested that during Install, the card merged with the summoner.
Mo Shuying already had an Assassin card inside him; he wondered if he could have another.
The card touched his chest, and suddenly a suction force generated! Mo Shuying's Mana was rapidly absorbed, quickly forming a glowing Mana aura around him.
"*Roar!*"
As soon as this aura appeared, the Manticore below spotted Mo Shuying, turned its head, and charged towards him, eyes blazing with fury!
On the other side!
Mo Shuying clearly felt the Archer card enter his body. After it brushed against the Assassin card, the Assassin card shifted slightly to make a small space for the Archer card, and then!
"*Om!*"
Mo Shuying's body began to change. His original sportswear transformed into a red-and-black trench coat, and his powerful muscles stretched the fabric, making him appear exceptionally robust.
It worked?
Mo Shuying watched his transformation with a hint of excitement. His current state was like a phone with dual SIM cards, allowing him to switch freely.
But there was a problem: after switching to Archer, his original skills became unusable. Aside from HP and ATK, everything else, including Gathering Storm, ceased to function.
