Perspective: Bai Yueguang

"Ultimate·Iaido!"

With a flash of the blade, the enemy charging in front of me was instantly separated into two, even as he fell, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

"Ridiculous, does this brute still think he can challenge me?"

I gave those werewolves a glare, causing them to involuntarily stop in their tracks and look at each other.

But just then, several feathered arrows shot out from behind me, accurately piercing the eyes of the opponents. After a few werewolves howled in pain and foamed at the mouth, they collapsed. I turned around to see Hei Luoli holding several arrows in her hand, shooting them out one after another with precision, each arrow hitting the eyes of a werewolf. Before long, all the surrounding werewolves had fallen.

"Hey hey hey, what will you do if you waste all the feathered arrows later?"

Hei Luoli glanced at me, then swiftly pulled out another batch of arrows.

"What do you think my storage ring is filled with? Of course, it's tons of arrows~ Poisoned, non-poisoned, paralyzing, you name it, I have them all."

Hei Luoli happily shook the storage ring I bought for her in front of me.

"Oh, really..."

This guy... No wonder she dumped her stuff into my spatial grid. So, her ring is filled with weapons, huh. Honestly, she didn't even consider my feelings...

!

But just then, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, directly hitting the Thousand-Mile Ice summoned by Feliya not far away.

Instantly, shattered chunks of ice rained down, burying the werewolves around it.

But that wasn't the most frightening part. The most frightening part was the familiar aura I sensed from where the lightning struck just now.

"Oni...?"

That familiar aura, the instant release of evil energy, there was no mistake—it was definitely the power of an Oni.

"Fir... is he in such a hurry? Did he just turn into an Oni so soon?"

At the same time, another burst of rage erupted in the same place, distorting even the surrounding space!

I couldn't tell what it was, but a black substance, resembling liquid, was emerging, and the black aura and red madness were materializing into observable substances spreading out from that spot!

"What's going on? Even if the berserk and Oni transformation occurred simultaneously, it shouldn't be like this, right? What's Fir doing..."

Just then, a figure with red twin-tails and wolf ears jumped to our side, clutching someone in her arms, and shouted loudly once she landed.

"Bai Yueguang! Do you have any healing potions? Bring them all!"

Seeing Aliyah's anxious expression and the person still spitting blood in her arms, Oyado, I didn't hesitate and took out several bottles of healing potions.

But when I handed the potion over, Aliyah tried several times but couldn't open Oyado's mouth.

"What are you doing? How can she drink it like this... Whatever, just pour it in!"

Aliyah shrugged and poured the healing potion directly onto Oyado's wound.

However, the bone spikes imbued with black energy seemed to repel the healing potion, preventing it from fully entering.

"Damn, I'll just have to pull them out."

"But it's too dangerous to do so; if the potion is ineffective, Oyado could bleed out and die from the wound!"

"This..."

Aliyah's hand paused in the air.

"Damn it, the only person who knows healing magic has gone insane. Why doesn't this world give us a decent recovery spell to learn!"

"Speaking of Fir, what's wrong with that guy? I get that he's angry about Oyado getting hurt by the enemy, but the way he is now is even more dangerous."

"If you were up against an opponent who is over level 100, you would react the same way. And if he didn't do what he did, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all."

Aliyah's face was filled with helplessness.

"Maybe we were just too overconfident..."

"No, this is all part of the learning process."

With a bang, out of nowhere, Taishi Xi jumped over, carrying his twin halberds, landing beside us.

"Since this is a skill we have already mastered, it means it is a type of power, although it may be considered dark magic, for us, it's just a skill."

"You make it sound so easy."

I said with a bitter smile.

"Even though it's just a skill to us, it's not easy to control. Fir and I have tried it many times, and using that skill only results in hurting each other."

"That's your problem... Well, let's focus on the problem at hand first, Mystical Art · Eight Corners Healing Star!"

As soon as Taishi Xi finished speaking, eight talismans flew out from his arms and surrounded Oyado.

"Now, remove those bone spurs!"

Aliyah reacted quickly as soon as Taishi Xi spoke, she immediately pulled out three bone spurs.

However, under the protection of the eight talismans, there was no blood flowing from the wounds.

"Alright, the potions!"

Aliyah poured five or six bottles of recovery potions onto Oyado, although these potions were definitely not cheap, the effect was worth it.

These potions usually only recover a bit of health, but when we use them on others, the effects get quantified and become more pronounced. In just a moment, Oyado's HP was completely restored, and the wounds healed.

"Mystical Art? Although I've learned some basics, I didn't expect it to be this powerful."

Hei Luoli beside us exclaimed.

"Each sect has its own characteristics, and you can't achieve much with just a little practice."

"Alright, alright, Taishi Xi, stop with the lecture. Since Fir is working so hard, we can't just sit idly by, right?"

"Well~ I don't really mind."

Taishi Xi waved his halberds.

"I'm quite free~ Ultimate Dragon Descent!"

A golden dragon shadow emerged from Taishi Xi's body. This guy really loves dragons, all the skills he learns are dragon-related.

"Ah, I'll have to rely on others here."

Saying that, I drew my sword.

"Oni Art · Possession of the Demonic Spirit!"

A fierce aura surged out, but I grit my teeth, suppressing the urge to attack, then turned to Taishi Xi.

"Let's go. Hei Luoli, you and Aliyah look after Oyado, we're going."

With that, we accelerated suddenly, quickly scaling the ice wall and charging over the top.

When we arrived at the top of the wall, we did not see Felia's figure.

No, it should be said, there was no longer the familiar figure of Felia.

Instead, there stood a new demon lord, or perhaps something even more terrifying.

Behind her, countless eyes peered curiously out of the torn space, transparent hands reached out from within, grabbing Fir's original body from all directions.

Dressed in a red evening gown that seemed to appear out of nowhere, Felia held a black leather book with eyes on it, pointing it at Fir's body.

The open mouth of the book firmly clamped down on a transparent figure emerging from Fir's body, as if trying to pull it inside.

"This..."

I swallowed hard and looked at Taishi Xi.

"Um... what exactly is that thing?"

"It's probably someone who fused countless 'evils' onto themselves to gain power, but the power ended up forming its own consciousness, which then took control in return, right?"

"This person... really knows how to cause trouble."

"Really? Your gaze was clearly on her chest."

"Hey, hey, you can eat without restraint, but you can't speak without restraint! I wasn't...!"

"Hmph~ Who knows~"

Taishi Xi smiled slightly, pointed her twin guns, and swooped down.

"Hey! You...!"

I scratched my head, looked at the sword in my hand.

"Well, I can always respawn!"

With that, I charged down as well.
