The Great Sword slashed down.
Although Assam's attack didn't cause damage, it successfully cracked the statue.
Seeing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.
"Assam, Blom, keep it busy, then attack the statue."
Upon hearing this, the two held down one of the statue's feet each, drawing the demon's attention.
Meanwhile, without anyone noticing, Sarah had gotten behind the statue once more,
displaying her nimble form. With two leaps, she reached the demon's head.
Just as Sarah was about to strike again,
the demon seemed to anticipate her move.
"Dark Elf~ Oh, poor Dark Elf, I've been waiting for you~"
As soon as it spoke, its pitch-black head rotated 180 degrees, spewing a soul attack toward Sarah.
However, Sarah didn't dodge or evade and struck directly through the attack.
The holy shield on Sarah shattered.
Yet, a damage number appeared on the demon's head.
The smile vanished from the Soul-Devouring Demon's face, replaced by astonishment, "You have a Holy Shield too?"
Before it could react, Sarah struck again.
As a top assassin, she engaged without exchanging words with her enemy.
The Soul-Devouring Demon shouted in fury, erupting in flames from its body, forcing Sarah to retreat.
While its attention was on Sarah, Cao Xing and the others rained down attacks on its head like a storm.
Ten seconds into the fight,
the demon's Blood Volume had already decreased by 7000!
However, the Soul-Devouring Demon seemed to have fixed its eyes on Sarah.
It quickly raised the statue's arm, gathering balls of black flame, and hurled them at Sarah hiding in the shadows.
As a result, another Holy Shield on Sarah shattered.
She had yet another Holy Shield remaining!
Sarah kept the demon occupied, constantly changing positions within the church.
In this short time, Cao Xing and the others dealt another round of damage, reducing the demon's Blood Volume by over 2000.
Assam and Blom continuously attacked the statue's heel, creating more cracks.
"You little pests have angered me!"
As soon as it spoke, the black aura around the demon compressed, as if something was about to explode!
Cao Xing knew this was likely one of the Soul-Devouring Demon's skills: [Evil Burst].
He quickly ordered, "Retreat! Everyone out of the demon's 50-meter range!"
"Melee units, brace yourselves if you can't retreat in time!"
After his command, Hilda, Renice, and other ranged units ceased their attack and started a swift retreat.
a terrifying black flame erupted from the Soul-Devouring Demon!
The black flame covered an extensive 50-meter area,
yet the ranged units had already pulled back under Cao Xing's order.
Left behind were Assam, Blom, and Sarah, who braced themselves against the impact.
The Holy Shield on everyone shattered once more.
Seeing this, Cao Xing felt slightly reassured and commanded, "Continue, full attack."
At this moment, the demon was furious.
Nearly twenty seconds into the fight, it had launched several attacks.
Yet, it only managed to shatter a few layers of Holy Shields on Cao Xing's team without causing any damage.
"Damn it! Why do you all have the Church Court's methods?"
Cao Xing laughed, "Don't you claim to know everything? How come you don't know this?"
Listening to his mockery, the Soul-Devouring Demon became more enraged at Cao Xing.
In the next moment, it dared to abandon the statue as a shell.
Continuous cracking sounds filled the air.
The enormous statue became covered with countless fractures.
With a thunderous crash, the massive statue collapsed.
In its place stood a terrifying three-meter tall monster, emitting black aura continuously.
Cao Xing frowned, "Is this the true form of the Soul-Devouring Demon?"
Once the demon emerged from the statue, it seemed to have broken free from some constraint.
Its movements turned exceptionally swift.
Seeing Sarah rush at it, the demon quickly turned, launching a cloud of black aura at her.
This time, Sarah didn't evade, a damage number appeared above her head.
Before the demon could express its smugness.
In the next moment, Liu Muxue cast a [Holy Healing Skill] onto Sarah.
Instantly, Sarah's Blood Volume restored significantly.
Furthermore, in the next second, +110, +110 numbers appeared above Sarah's head once more.
With their levels improved along the way, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue's healing abilities had greatly enhanced.
Seeing this, the smile on the Soul-Devouring Demon's face froze, then it sneered coldly,
"Hmph, just a Second Order Aurora Knight, if you were Fourth Rank, I wouldn't be your match today!"
"This Dark Elf is doomed!"
However, Sarah quickly entered the [Phantom Invisible] state, and in a blink of an eye, the Soul-Devouring Demon lost track of her.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing and the others ramped up their assault.
Andrew's hands moved so fast they left afterimages.
Moonfire Skill and Starfire Technique struck continuously.
With the support of Eternal Power, he remained permanently in [Star Realm Communication] state.
His offensive capability transformed drastically!
