Chapter 108: Angewomon: Reborn from the Muck
Just as Virt couldn't recall his Troll after it went berserk.
For a magus to recall a familiar or magic spirit to its card, they needed a response from the familiar or magic spirit.
Once the familiar or magic spirit was in a state where it couldn't respond.
Then, only a forced recall was possible.
And the prerequisite for a forced recall was that the magus's magic power had to be higher than the magic spirit's!
Dark Demon desperately poured magic power into the House Card, but the signal simply couldn't reach LadyDevimon.
This gave him a very bad feeling.
The scene before him was far too familiar.
Usually, when this kind of situation occurred, it was the beginning of corruption, parasitism, or even possession!
Especially as the moonlight grew stronger and stronger, gradually converging to a single point.
It felt as if the ritual was finally reaching its end.
Everything seemed to be settling into place!
"□□□□§!"
There wasn't much time for Dark Demon to think.
The melody formed by the Seafood Cult's prayers suddenly swelled.
That black mass also rolled violently, like boiling water.
Then, the last wisp of converging moonlight was absorbed.
The black mass suddenly stopped rolling.
The world seemed to freeze in that instant, only the melody growing ever louder.
Outside the castle.
The night sky returned to clarity.
The moonlight was no longer being gathered.
It was as if nothing had happened.
But the black mass in that temple began to flow downwards.
The pitch-black, turbid substance flowed to the ground, spreading out like a puddle of sewage.
A sliver of white light streamed out from the initial crack, and then bloomed!
That extremely gentle light, like a spring breeze.
Being illuminated by this light, an extremely comforting feeling rose from the bottom of one's heart, a sincere joy.
A sacred archangel with eight pairs of snow-white wings was reborn from the pitch-black muck.
"DemiDevimon?"
Dark Demon called out tentatively.
But Angewomon merely tilted her head slightly, a subtle curve gracing her lips as she spoke: "I am the Moon God, and also the Earth Mother God."
Dark Demon fell silent for a moment, then uttered a few words: "No, you're just an Angewomon."
Angewomon, oh no, the Moon Goddess showed no hint of anger, instead chuckling lightly, "The flesh is but an illusion; my divine origin has awakened."
As she spoke, she beckoned with her hand, and a ray of moonlight projected down, which she pinched in her fingers, forming an Arrow of the Moon.
That was a display of the Moon's authority.
She reached out again, and a sacred bow appeared in her left hand.
"Blasphemer, you shall be judged!"
The Moon Goddess nocked the Arrow of the Moon from her right hand onto the sacred bow, drew it back with extreme elegance, and slowly aimed at Dark Demon by the temple entrance.
The light emitted by the Arrow of the Moon suddenly intensified, then the bow was drawn full, and the arrow shot out abruptly!
"Swish!"
The arrow arrived.
A shield arose.
Dark Demon promptly summoned [Shuckle] to protect his chest.
But Shuckle, having endured a casual arrow from the Moon Goddess, showed countless cracks on its hard shell.
Mana: 900→1
[Sturdy: Passive skill. Magic spirits with this skill cannot be killed in one hit.]
Shuckle, having survived by relying on its passive skill, immediately became listless.
Dark Demon quickly scooped it up, then slid and dodged outside the temple door.
No matter how tough Shuckle was, it was just a three-star card that could be normally summoned.
The Moon Goddess, with just a little seriousness, easily pierced its defense.
"Magic Summon!"
In this moment of crisis, Dark Demon once again broke his limits, his summoning time condensing to 4 seconds.
Shuckle, having consumed an [Energy Potion], finally regained some spirit.
Without needing Dark Demon's command, it immediately used its psychic powers, casting [Power Split], attempting to weaken the Moon Goddess's power.
But the psychic power released by Shuckle was easily dispelled by the Moon Goddess!
The first failure of [Power Split] made Dark Demon realize he was in a desperate situation.
He touched his card case, his face slightly pale.
Shuckle could be said to be his greatest reliance, followed by Umbreon in its [Lust III] state, and [Silencing Potion].
But a disruptive potion like [Silencing Potion] couldn't play a decisive role at this moment.
And while Umbreon was powerful, it couldn't possibly contend with the Moon Goddess who had devoured LadyDevimon.
However, the Moon Goddess's next arrow was already nocked.
Dark Demon didn't have time to think, simply waved his hand, summoned [Silencing Potion], and threw it forcefully at the Moon Goddess!
The Arrow of the Moon left the string, piercing the potion bottle.
[Silencing Potion] suddenly burst open, forming a thin mist.
Dark Demon immediately hugged Shuckle and rushed forward. The moment the cooldown ended, he successively summoned [Mystic Beast: Eevee] and [Lust III].
Seeing the evolved Umbreon's eyes gleam, recklessly pouncing forward regardless of the situation.
Dark Demon had a flash of inspiration at the critical moment and immediately added a [Pride I]!
As the dark golden ball of light entered its brow, a trace of arrogance instantly appeared in Umbreon's frivolous eyes.
This made it slightly more reserved, its direct pounce halting abruptly, but its eyes still provocative.
It had a feeling of feigned resistance.
"It actually worked."
Dark Demon's thoughts raced.
When he used [Lust III] just now, it hadn't formed a connection with the Moon Goddess.
This meant that the Moon Goddess, no longer a statue, could already control her own energy; the previous tactic was completely ineffective.
And the Moon Goddess followed closely, nocking another Arrow of the Moon and taking further aim.
"Swish!"
The arrow of light flew.
Sensing the danger, Umbreon turned and fired a Shadow Ball!
However, before the Shadow Ball could even touch the Arrow of the Moon, it was purified by the sacred radiance.
"Bang!"
Umbreon let out a miserable cry, directly sent flying by the shockwave from the Arrow of the Moon's explosion.
Dark Demon, taking the opportunity to hide around a corner, gasped for breath.
"The level difference is too great!"
"At a time like this, shouldn't a Hero be appearing?"
"Where is the Hero?"
Dark Demon's thoughts were already somewhat chaotic.
But he was still trying hard to think.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Wait, the Hero..."
"Isn't he in my bag?"
...
The Moon Goddess flapped her wings, tracking him bit by bit, as if enjoying her first pleasure after rebirth.
She was very satisfied with "LadyDevimon's" vessel.
Although "LadyDevimon's" original fur was also to her liking, a goddess should indeed be sacred.
Moreover, this vessel seemed to hide immense potential.
If she could unearth that potential, she had a feeling she could definitely reclaim her former glory.
Well, at least one or two tenths of it.
"Found you."
Seeing a figure move ahead, joy sparked in the Moon Goddess's heart, and she once again condensed an Arrow of the Moon.
...
But what appeared before her was a glowing Stag Beetle.
