Chapter 191: Over Twenty Days Later, Double Gold in a Ten-Pull!
Boom!
A pillar of white light rose into the sky in the distance, and everyone in Orario saw it.
Ethan and the others were no exception. Ethan smiled the moment he saw it, because he knew Ishtar had been sent back to heaven.
He had long since grown sick of that goddess, who kept trying to trip him up and cause trouble for him.
As the saying went, it was not the thief stealing that was frightening, but the thief always thinking about it.
After all, Haruhime alone was enough to make Ishtar keep scheming. Now that Ishtar had been sent back to heaven, everything was finally over.
...
Over the next few days, Orario experienced a few small waves, but peace soon returned.
The biggest change was undoubtedly in the Entertainment District. With Ishtar gone, all the battle prostitutes of the Ishtar Familia lost the power of Falna and became "unclaimed."
Although "battle prostitutes" were not welcomed by many Familias, the one thing Orario did not lack was gods.
Some weaker Familias were very willing to take in these Amazoness women with decent strength. So what if they were battle prostitutes? They were still powerful adventurers.
The large Ishtar Familia broke apart and scattered among Familias of all sizes across Orario.
As for the Entertainment District, even without Ishtar as its prostitute queen, it did not disappear. Instead, it remained extremely lively.
After all, for Amazoness battle prostitutes, they could find men and earn money at the same time. Why would they refuse?
And now that the Ishtar Familia had become history, they no longer needed to hand over part of their income to the Familia, so their earnings increased quite a bit.
Ethan had also grasped the "limit" well. After Ishtar left the stage, he did not make things difficult for the members of the Ishtar Familia.
Everything seemed to be moving in a better direction, and the days passed one by one.
More than twenty days later, after completing today's [Daily Quest], Ethan finally gathered enough diamonds for a gacha pull after saving for over half a month.
[Name]: Ethan Starfall
[Current Gacha Pool]: Fate
[Diamonds]: 1010
Since his last gacha pull, more than half a month had passed, and Ethan had been working hard to save up.
Because he had reached Lv.5, the diamonds from [Daily Quests] now ranged between 10 and 50. If he was lucky, he could get a 50-diamond quest. If not, it was still 10 diamonds.
Today, he had finally saved enough diamonds for another Advanced Ten-Pull.
Although "single pulls create miracles," they were ultimately not as stable as a ten-pull. That was what Ethan thought, so he had endured until now.
"Come on. Now is my gacha moment!"
Swish.
[-1000 Diamonds]
The familiar gacha screen appeared, and a card pack emerged. After it was torn open, cards flew out one after another.
Then, the ten cards began flipping over one by one.
[D+ Rank Noble Phantasms *10]
[D+ Rank Noble Phantasms *10]
[D+ Rank Noble Phantasms *10]
...
That familiar taste again. It was another wholesale batch of D+ Rank Noble Phantasms, and Ethan's Noble Phantasm stock began increasing.
[Noble Phantasm: Rejuvenating Elixir]
[Noble Phantasm: Immortal-Slaying Blade]
Double gold in a ten-pull. This time, the ten-pull gave him two Noble Phantasms.
[Rejuvenating Elixir: A legendary medicine said to instantly return a person's body to youth. Originally, it was only a spirit herb picked from the abyss, a "longevity medicine" pretending to grant immortality.]
[Immortal-Slaying Blade: A divine sword from Greek mythology, shaped strangely like a sickle with an inner blade. Though not outstanding by itself, wounds caused by it can never recover, and it can nullify immortality.]
Both Noble Phantasms were good, though they leaned more toward utility.
There was no need to explain the Rejuvenating Elixir. Just the effect of restoring youth was enough to make countless people chase after it.
As for the Immortal-Slaying Blade, its attack power was a little lacking, but its special function was strong.
Wounds caused by it could not heal, and it had the effect of nullifying "immortality."
The first effect overlapped with [Gáe Buidhe — Yellow Rose of Mortality], but the second effect was powerful.
This Noble Phantasm was enough to strip certain troublesome enemies of their "immortal bodies."
He might not use it for a long time, but once he met an enemy who needed it, it would be a perfect counter.
With this gacha pull over, Ethan had gained another 80 D+ Rank Noble Phantasms and two decent Noble Phantasms. It was not a loss.
It was just that, for now, the improvement to Ethan's strength was limited.
Swish.
Just as Ethan felt a little disappointed, a monster seized that opening and launched a sudden attack at him from the side.
Pshk.
However, before it could get close, it was killed directly. A thin sword pierced through its body.
The owner of that sword was none other than Ais.
After the Monster Feria, everyone in Orario knew that another monster had appeared in the Freya Familia. In just a few months, he had reached a level countless people could never touch in their entire lives.
The members of the Loki Familia had also personally witnessed Ethan's strength, which was absolutely unfathomable.
With Ais's persistence and everyone's persuasion, Loki finally agreed. After some discussion, Ais became Ethan's little follower, staying by his side every day to learn from him.
Ethan was speechless about this.
Was he supposed to teach a student? He did not even know how to teach.
That said, since things had already reached this point, he could only force himself to do it. Just like that, Ais appeared by Ethan's side.
"Ais, thanks."
"Mm."
Facing Ethan's praise, Ais only nodded.
That monster just now could not possibly have hurt Ethan. After all, no one knew what level his strength had already reached.
Looking at Ais, with her fine golden hair and delicate face like a porcelain doll, she was almost the perfect woman aside from one slightly regretful part.
However, Ais was only sixteen now. She still had plenty of room to grow in the future.
To be honest, having such a girl by his side was naturally something that would make any man happy.
But if that girl was stubborn, expressionless, and naturally airheaded, then after enough time, it became somewhat dull.
Especially since Ethan was already a man who had tasted meat. Facing such a young girl made his whole body feel uncomfortable.
"Ais…"
