Even Han Ning couldn’t suppress his astonishment as he watched the Demon Fei Lin so easily defeat the War General Level Flame Fire Vermilion Centipede.
’I truly hadn’t expected that Fei Lin, with her Demonization and Biological Armor at full power, could unleash such immense strength.’
As the Demon Fei Lin finished absorbing all the Energy from the Flame Fire Vermilion Centipede, the beast’s energized form faded. Its massive body crashed down onto the pitch-black earth enveloped in endless night. Meanwhile, the dark purple halo circulating around Fei Lin grew even richer.
The Dark Energy’s glow was so dense it was almost demonic, and even Fei Lin’s originally jet-black hair began to shift into an eerie purple.
After finishing off the Flame Fire Vermilion Centipede, the Demon phantom behind Fei Lin abruptly turned its massive, vortex-like pupils toward the Flaming Sun Flying Armor in the distant night sky, and to Fei Lie on its back.
"Damn it!"
Fei Lie felt himself enveloped by an endless malice, as if tens of thousands of vicious curses were exploding in his ears.
Relying on his Tier Two Spiritual Power, he barely managed to calm his mind and commanded the Flaming Sun Flying Armor to try and break out of the encompassing polar night.
Fei Lie, who had been so imposing just moments ago, was now fleeing in panic after only a few of Demon Fei Lin’s attacks.
Watching this scene unfold, Han Ning’s face showed no trace of joy. Instead, his heart grew even more worried.
He had just tried to communicate with Fei Lin through their Spiritual Contract, but all he received in return was a sense of utter indifference.
’Fei Lin heard my message but had absolutely no reaction.’
’This was completely unexpected.’
However, at this moment, only the Demon Fei Lin could defeat Fei Lie. Han Ning could only suppress his astonishment and let her pursue him.
One fled while the other gave chase. From time to time, the Flaming Sun Flying Armor would turn back to spew a great torrent of Flame, burning away the black tentacles that obstructed its path.
The Flaming Sun Flying Armor’s counterattacks posed no threat to Fei Lin whatsoever.
Even the terrifying flames, potent enough to melt Biological Armor, were easily neutralized by Fei Lin in her current Demon state.
But Han Ning noticed that the current Fei Lin couldn’t make her body intangible to enter the Mirror Space, so she couldn’t use her Mirror Movement ability, which was like Instant Teleportation. Controlling the massive Demon phantom also seemed to be a great strain on her; her movement speed was actually slightly slower than the Flaming Sun Flying Armor’s flight speed.
Just as Han Ning thought the cat-and-mouse game would continue for a while, Fei Lin, who was chasing the Flaming Sun Flying Armor, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The Demon claws in her hand, which had absorbed dozens of Flame torrents, emitted a dense purple light, looking as if they were about to burst.
’Could it be that she’s going to...?’ Han Ning vaguely guessed what was about to happen.
Dense, dark-purple patterns, like a rampantly growing virus, suddenly spread across Fei Lin and the entire body of the Demon phantom.
Sparks flew from the terrifying curved horns on the Demon’s forehead.
The massive Demon phantom slowly levitated up from behind her body, gazing into the distance at the frantically flying Flaming Sun Flying Armor.
Below, Fei Lin was seen tossing the twin swords formed by her Biological Armor toward the Demon’s mouth.
The twin swords flew above the Demon’s massive mouth and transformed into a slowly pulsating black polymer. frёeωebɳovel.com
The Demon opened its mouth.
SLOSH~
A large amount of a thick, viscous black substance poured out, looking utterly disgusting.
In addition to the viscous black substance, the torrents of Flame she had absorbed into her Demon claws were also poured into its mouth all at once.
BUUURP~
After swallowing the entire concoction, the Demon let out a satisfied belch.
A green light flared up along the edges of its illusory figure.
Then, the Demon opened its cavernous mouth wide, aimed in the direction of the Flaming Sun Flying Armor, and a rapidly spinning purple flame appeared in its throat.
BOOM!!!
A second later, a beam of deep purple Flame, dozens of meters thick, poured out of the Demon’s mouth. It struck the Flaming Sun Flying Armor’s back with unerring accuracy and the speed of lightning.
The Power was so immense that it instantly shattered more than half of the Flaming Sun Flying Armor’s body!
The Flaming Sun Flying Armor was a colossal creature, a good twenty to thirty meters tall.
In an instant, its body was obliterated by the beam.
In the sky above, a rain of blood poured down, a foul-smelling mixture of gore and mangled entrails.
"Monster, monster! That’s definitely the most evil monster to ever escape the Abyss!" Fei Lie screamed, his eyes looking ready to burst, and immediately plummeted toward the ground.
Fei Lie had a premonition just before the Flaming Sun Flying Armor was attacked. He had his Soul Beast use its Giant Power to fling him away ahead of time.
However, before his plan could succeed, the powerful shockwave from the purple beam’s explosion slammed into him, instantly knocking him unconscious. He smashed into the ground like a cannonball, his fate unknown.
Han Ning looked at the unmoving Fei Lie, at the Flaming Sun Flying Armor plummeting to the earth, and then back at Fei Lin and the eerie expression on the giant Demon behind her. The dread in his heart intensified.
’I thought this would be a life-and-death struggle, but the outcome completely exceeded my expectations.’
Seeing the Flaming Sun Flying Armor successfully hit, Fei Lin once again let out a bloodcurdling giggle.
She manipulated her demon claws, reaching out to grab most of the Flaming Sun Flying Armor’s dismembered limbs with Dark Energy. She then brought them before the Demon phantom.
The Demon stuffed the mangled limbs, covered in bright red bloodstains, into its mouth and began to chew with loud, hair-raising crunches.
"Fei Lin, stop," Han Ning tried to send a message to Fei Lin via his Spiritual Power, seeing that the two War General Level Soul Beasts had been defeated.
But... the only response he received was dead silence.
