Chapter 717: Chapter 295: Crimson Descent (6k)_4
Even the strongest and most resilient giant among them was instantly killed, losing the Abnormal Object that served as a source of power.
This overwhelming combat power left them with no will to fight, but the remaining four Great Demons soon discovered to their dismay that the area was already sealed off by some kind of force.
The black veil that turned day into night was shockingly some kind of energy barrier! And this power came from the Tree-man below!
But driven by the desire to survive, they couldn’t care less, and the attacks meant for that human were all launched at this barrier instead.
Even though this barrier originated from Bai Yi, set up by You as the Nest, it was after all not a true 8th Rank ability, and the barrier shattered upon contact.
But at this point, how could Bai Yi let them escape?
With his left hand raised towards the four Great Demons, fingers spread like fracturing branches, the gray mist enveloping the demons turned into a lush green under the enhancement of the Crimson Nest—
"Creation!"
The four Great Demons froze, their eyes (perhaps not just one pair, or maybe none at all) widened, filled with disbelief.
They felt that the Abnormal Object that had conformed to their form suddenly became unfamiliar, as if a new soul was born within, starting to consciously resist their control.
Especially as their bodies began to suffuse with a green akin to fresh grass, a verdant emotion spread in their hearts.
Clearly, it was me who came first!
I was the first to fuse, the first to control! And it’s still within me now...
But they obviously had no time to indulge in their inner turmoil; the downside of breaking through with the Abnormal Object became immediately apparent. Once the Abnormal Object malfunctioned, they had no way to resist!
A soul was born from within them, the source of their power began to rebel, responding to Bai Yi’s call, desperately trying to extract itself from the Great Demons’ bodies, attempting to leave their hosts!
If it were the original Bai Yi, Creation would, of course, not have achieved this effect.
But when Bai Yi harnessed the power of the Nest, received the enhancement of the Third-tier Nest, Bai Yi with Seventh Rank superpower was infinitely close to the 8th Rank, able to apply Creation to the Abnormal Object inside them!
And without the source of power, for these Great Demons who advanced to 9th Rank because of it, it was like a high building losing its foundation, their strength suddenly collapsed, plummeting like wingless birds.
Chased down and killed one by one with ease by Bai Yi.
"What a pity, I was planning to assimilate a few Great Demons.
But now with these Abnormal Objects, and with Little Hui verifying the breakthrough method’s effect, we can fully nurture our own people with them, so it’s all fine."
After collecting the final Demon’s life, Bai Yi lamented.
Dismissing the Tree-man, the black sky curtain disappeared along with the Space Gate in the sky.
Bai Yi reached out a hand to grasp virtually, and several Abnormal Objects, now conscious, willingly returned to Bai Yi’s hand. Beside him, Ju, who had been standing on the shoulder of the Tree-man, also flashed to Bai Yi’s side, holding three Abnormal Objects, looking slightly exhausted.
This was the first time she used this ability in a real battle, and the consumption was high for Ju; enduring this long had nearly exhausted her.
Most importantly, Ju didn’t have the means to directly use the magic power within the crystals. Even with a supply of Magic Power Crystals, regenerating magic power would take time.
Ju’s three, plus the four gained from Creation, and finally the one extracted from the heart of the giant, made for a neat set of Great Demon relics.
"Not bad, eight relics, worthy of this endeavor...
Hmm? Wait, eight?
But weren’t there nine Great Demons when we first encountered them? Why did I forget one of them?"
Bai Yi suddenly realized this problem, and her expression turned grim.
She seemed to understand what that hidden ability was...
.........
Great Demon Stica: The "Unknown" Demon, all information unknown, unless engaged, impressions fade and are forgotten rapidly, capability suspected of rendering itself unobservable, subjectively ignoring its presence, achieving invisibility on a psychological level...
[Note: Hiss... wait, I remember your name! I must remember, don’t remind me! S-what... something something Ka... Scatty!]
