"Hairy creatures are weak to fire, hairless ones are weak to lightning, and large ones are weak to doors."
Of course, among the Old Hunter's attack attributes, "door attribute" was not included.
Fire and lightning are common attributes for hunter weapons; blood attacks are only related to firearms for a few weapons, and Arcane is basically only associated with certain tools, while the chance of using venom damage is even less.
Beasts afflicted with the Beast Scourge fear fire, while the Kin of the Great Ones fear lightning; this is a rough calculation.
However, in the dream, Laurence, the Bishop of the Healing Church, burned with an eternal flame, the only mad beast not weak to fire.
To be precise, he wasn't weak to anything and was especially resistant to burning.
When playing the game, Goki listened to his silly friends in the group and used fire paper to fight this monster. He was completely ineffective due to its high fire resistance and only realized the problem after dying countless times.
So, upon truly arriving in Yharnam, Goki decisively corrected this mistake. He didn't use fire paper to change his attack to the fire attribute; he just charged in with physical attacks.
Then he still died countless times—being weak is being weak; you can't just look for reasons in the mechanics.
Therefore, initially, when Goki learned that his opponent in the Akahula Rainforest would have fire attributes, he was actually a little worried about whether his carefully prepared fire paper would be effective.
There was no way around it; Originium Arts had water attributes like Current and Ceylon, but a Hunter couldn't tie a Squirtle to a Saw Cleaver. There was no good way to deal with burning enemies.
However, just now, when fighting the burning charred corpse Kin on the ground, Goki tried using fire paper.
The result was completely different from what he expected: the flames ignited by this fire paper, which used the God of Burning Wind's own power and His blood, were incredibly effective against these burning monsters!
Bang!
Compared to the massive, ten-meter-tall God of Burning Wind, Goki's figure seemed even smaller. But when he swung the Church Stone Hammer, which he himself found heavy and which burned with flames, he made the giant God's Clone stagger, stopping its foot from stepping on the Aegir warriors.
"Damn it, what kind of power is this? This is my flame! You want to defeat me with my own flame! Wishful thinking!"
With twisted horns, the hideous head cried out in pain. The force with which Skadi threw Goki, combined with the weapon's power, twisted the God of Burning Wind's neck to one side.
It wasn't just the brute force; the moment the heavy hammer touched Its outer shell, It felt a familiar yet strange power.
The intensely hot, yet somewhat pale, flame caused the God of Burning Wind profound Soul-deep pain. A small hammer-shaped indentation even appeared on Its cheek.
"It's my flame? What are you thinking—anything that drops from a prey is mine!"
Goki directly injected three blood vials into his thigh. He gripped the stone hammer with both hands, and his fractured arm and thigh bones slowly healed from the impact.
He had just been thrown with Skadi's full strength; the fact that he only sustained comminuted fractures in his four limbs already showed that his 15 points in Vitality and 16 points in Strength were not for nothing.
Standing on the giant's shoulder, Goki instantly felt as if he had entered the hottest oven.
In every direction, as far as the eye could see, these giant bodies made of red soil were constantly spewing high-temperature flames.
Even though his endurance already surpassed that of ordinary people, in this intensely hot environment, like Hell, Goki's skin was instantly scorched and ulcerated, his lungs were completely burned, and the blisters on his feet burst the moment they appeared.
But... it wasn't a big problem! Even without breathing, Goki's combat power was completely unaffected!
The recovery speed of the blood vials made the scorched and ulcerated wounds on Goki's body heal at an even faster rate. Although it was painful, the Old Hunter was already used to pain.
The only thing to be grateful for was that his charred hunter's attire still had good fire resistance and hadn't been roasted dry yet.
At least for a short time, he wasn't at risk of being burned naked—that would be too embarrassing.
"Enough! Stop your arrogant remarks! You are facing a God!"
Just moments ago, still immersed in the joy of escaping, the God of Burning Wind was smashed in the face by Goki's hammer. The pain was minor, but the humiliation was great.
Without hesitation, he stopped his attack on others and stood still, swatting at Goki like a fly with a hand even larger than Goki, directly slamming down on him.
Unlike the slow movements in giant boss battles in movies and games, His attack was swift and agile, as fast as an ordinary person swatting a mosquito, and the fierce winds it generated even stirred up a massive fire tornado.
"Seriously, you always make me fight these out-of-my-league battles—Yarnam isn't this big!"
Carrying the heavy, burning stone hammer, Goki unleashed the maximum strength he could muster with both hands, smashing it into the giant's face once more.
This action almost exhausted half of Goki's stamina; rather than "swinging a great hammer," he was more like "lifting a hammer and smashing it down."
Thud—
Without Skadi's immense strength, the giant's head did not deflect to the side from this amount of force.
But the Church Stone Hammer, burning with pale flames, still injected its pale radiance into the God of Burning Wind's body the moment it smashed into the giant's lava-composed body.
That was Goki's flame alone, a flame mixed with Goki's blood.
Perhaps it wasn't obvious normally, but against the backdrop of the crimson flames, this pale glow was particularly striking.
In an instant, where the stone hammer landed, a pale white moonlight erupted, and faintly, the sound of surging waves could be heard.
Crack—
The flowing lava body cooled down, even emitting a crisp sound.
The God of Burning Wind suddenly realized that this flame was so cold, so pale.
"Ah! What—is this?"
The scorching flames on half of Its cheek extinguished for a moment, and the God of Burning Wind felt pain and threat.
But in the next second, the white flame in the wound was swallowed by the crimson flames, followed by even greater fury.
"I've decided, your immortality is strong. I will make you eternally repeat the process of being burned until your Soul dissipates completely!"
Saying this, His hand, suspended in mid-air, slammed down even faster, like a meteor made of raging flames.
"If I were to say I don't know what this is either, would you believe me—Skadi!"
Flipping up his cloak to block the spurting magma, Goki exerted force with both hands, pulling out the heavy hammer, completely unconcerned about the giant arm behind him that could crush him.
"I'm here!"
The next second, accompanied by a soft shout, a black figure shot up from the ground, the giant sword in her hand immediately glowing with three red bars.
Crack—
