Demons are resilient in their bodies and recovery ability.
Human martial artists are resilient in their blood qi and various flexible, powerful spirit techniques.
The two sides clash.
It's a collision between the most primitive bodies and various dazzling spirit techniques.
The great battle unfolds in this Stone Forest.
The powerful ripples of the battle spread around, toppling one towering stone tree after another, crashing to the ground.
A group of human martial artists exhaust all their skills, but in the end, they could barely hold evenly against the demons, even at a disadvantage.
After the heated battle.
Both sides are in a state of exhaustion, unable to overcome each other.
However, at this moment.
A few figures emerge from the shadows.
There are four creatures in total.
Two are human, and two are demons.
The two humans wear brocade garments, although they are men, they have long hair, and their expressions are full of arrogance.
They step forward, carrying an immense pressure.
On the other side.
The two demons don't look as hideous as other demons, and they even have a touch of appeal. If not for the color of their skin and the horns on their heads, wings on their backs, they would look no different from normal people.
"The researchers from the Flesh and Blood Research Association are all here. It seems you're determined to obtain this fruit this time."
Among these two.
An older man says with a sneer.
As soon as he finishes speaking.
Among the two handsome demons, the one with six wings on his back says, "We're just acting under orders.
We've been in the East Prosperity Imperial for years, and this time, we're using almost all hidden forces in the Imperial.
To crystallize this Holy Fruit.
Once the Holy Fruit matures.
Our association can produce a Saint.
Your resistance, in human terms, is just like an ant trying to push a tree."
With the arrival of these two demons, the other demons retreat, not daring to look directly, and assume a subordinate posture.
On the other side.
No one knows who these two humans in brocade garments are.
As for the golden fruit in the middle.
More or less, everyone here has some knowledge, coming from different human faction organizations to obtain this fruit.
"Step back."
At this moment.
Among the two brocade men, the young man speaks sternly.
His voice carries an irresistible authority, with sound waves spreading, instantly crushing the resistance will of those around.
Even Tao Hong and Li Lv, who are not weak, are powerless to resist.
Soon after.
The robes on these two split open.
One grows thick black fur, his body extends to three meters tall, and his hands and feet transform into giant black beast claws, with sharp nails gleaming coldly.
The other sprouts two white wings, his feet sharpen, and his nose curves up, his face morphing into a bird-beast form.
Witnessing their transformation.
Baiyu is shocked.
It's clearly a phenomenon of mutation, yet they control it freely.
Simultaneously.
Their mutation isn't random like others.
These two are not lightly mutated, yet they're both transforming in a singular direction.
For example, growing fur all over and transforming limbs into beast claws, clearly mutating towards a bear-like Exotic Beast.
Another's mutation goes in the avian direction.
Their mutation resembles planned, controlled changes.
This realization.
Leaves Baiyu astonished.
Knowing that mutation is one of the greatest threats to humanity, yet mastering mutation and harnessing it as a strength, how powerful could this be?
"Haha, more members from Salvation Society. Why won't you just die?"
A demon speaks with deep impatience.
However.
The two humans wielding mutational powers, without pausing, launch an attack on the demon group.
Ordinary demons stand no chance against them.
Whether bear claw or bird talon, they possess unmatched sharpness, instantly gutting any obstructing demons.
Soon.
The two demons from the Flesh and Blood Research Association confront these two directly.
The battle between these humans and demons is far more terrifying.
They're nearly using pure flesh power to contend, blood qi blends with flesh, striking with the most primitive attacks.
Yet such attacks are incredibly powerful.
Momentarily.
The surrounding is affected by battle ripples, be it human or demon.
Baiyu quietly assesses their strength from afar, judging that both the demons and humans should be at a Grandmaster level.
If Erza were to unleash without restraint.
She could truly take them down.
But now isn't the time to act, they've already deemed no creatures around as threats, eliminating each other is their priority.
So they must fight to the death.
The unfolding events match Baiyu's prediction, after a great battle, demons inevitably win.
The two demons from Flesh and Blood Research Association burst with power at the crucial moment, defeating the two from Salvation Society.
Baiyu has heard of Salvation Society from Tao Hong and Li Lv.
But obviously.
They're not organization members, merely aware of them, using their name to intimidate.
The actual members.
Should be like those two transforming men.
After defeating Salvation Society members, the two demons charge straight for the stone-vine formed disc platform in the middle.
Those surrounding demons and humans lose their ability to act.
Seeing this, Baiyu feels it's an opportunity, instantly contacts Erza via Heart of the Dance.
"Track attack based on my coordinates."
"Understood."
Erza's voice comes through the Heart of the Dance.
Then.
Two purple-blue beams shoot from the horizon, piercing the clouds, aiming at the two demons.
Bang!
The first purple-blue beam instantly hits a demon, green blood gushing from him.
The demon screams in pain.
His eyes blood-red, gazing around, angrily shouting, "Who?"
Empty surroundings, no response.
Seeing his comrade's plight, the other demon raises his guard, narrowly avoiding the strike.
However.
That's only the beginning.
Avoiding Erza's initial attack, following comes a series of purple-blue lasers, aiming at the two demons, forming an overwhelming laser net.
The two demons have no idea where the attack originates, only able to dodge constantly, unable to counterattack.
