The ash’s armor-like shell was now completely corroded, with many areas missing flesh and blood, leaving only pitted bones.
It seemed like it could lose its life at any moment.
But just as the mages who came to support were about to pursue victory and take a second kill in this battle, the supporting demon also arrived, shielding the ash and thwarting the Cold Mage’s intentions, casting a wary glance at Bai Yi.
Initially, they were mocking humans for putting their newly risen ninth-rank fighter on display instead of setting up an ambush like last time.
Then, seeing Bai Yi using a support-type ability, they were even more convinced of their assumption, confidently sending someone to swiftly eliminate them and open a breach.
Then, even if they suffered initial losses, they would still surely win!
But who knew this frail-looking support could strike so fiercely, almost instantly taking down the ash with one move...
Shocked, they could only accept the fact that the enemy’s support could actually take instant kills and re-engage with their respective opponents.
The demon guarding the heavily injured ash was quickly engaged by the human ninth-rank they originally faced, teamed up temporarily with the arriving Cold Mage for a 2v2.
But with the demon now burdened with the ash, it didn’t have its original combat power, and was slowly falling into a passive state against the two human ninth-ranks.
Satisfied with such results from a single strike, Bai Yi nodded to herself.
"Not bad, though it’s a pity it couldn’t finish them off.
Truly worthy of being a pseudo-ninth rank, though not a qualitative change, their Life Value and other attributes are top-notch..."
On her status panel, she saw clearly that her one devastating attack nearly drained a third of her Magic Power Value, only barely reducing the health by more than half.
Although it looked quite tragic, with blood and flesh vanishing and bones exposed, it was largely due to her ability’s special effect on Life.
Additionally, this allowed her to have a clearer understanding of the true power levels of this world’s ninth ranks, giving her confidence for her future plans. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fiɾe·net
"But the skeletal structure of that demon just now seemed so familiar...
Forget it, research can wait, I’ve already obtained the necessary information, so let’s end this quickly!"
Scanning the battlefield, because of her earlier action, the human ninth-rank now had the upper hand; if she joined the fight, they might be able to keep all twelve ninth-rank demons in this fight!
With this in mind, Bai Yi immediately flew towards the battle involving the ash, heading towards the demon opposing the Cold Mage, simultaneously hurling a gray Magic Ball.
The gray Magic Ball expanded with the wind, quickly forming a two-meter-tall magical humanoid, reaching out and shooting a dim magic stream towards another demon.
The path of the gray magic stream caused the magic to stagnate, easily breaking the demon’s protective abilities and hitting its body.
The demon felt its magic suddenly disturbed, interrupting the ability it was preparing to use, with its magic becoming silent and hard to mobilize.
This sensation immediately made it recognize the ability as one from their companion. How could a human use it? Disaster!
The battle didn’t give it time to think; although the human ninth-rank opponent was also puzzled, they seized the opportunity firmly, casting spells for a follow-up attack.
The magical humanoid was the energy creature extracted when Bai Yi treated Ryan before, and after her cultivation, it now possessed seventh-rank strength!
With its inherently high essence and energy creature mastery, it successfully dealt a heavy blow to a demon with one strike!
On the other side, Bai Yi was more direct, casting Wither again.
This time, Bai Yi didn’t need to test damage; to conserve magic, she only used the Aura to afflict the enemy. Nonetheless, the vines growing under Wither hindered the assault, allowing the Cold Mage to strike.
With just one move, the two demons were felled, losing combat power!
Having vanquished their opponents, the two ninth-ranks freed their combat power, immediately heading to support teammates in other Battle Zones without any further communication.
They would not miss this rare chance to severely wound the demons!
Coincidentally, Bai Yi thought the same, scanning the area before locking onto Ryan, who was entangled in a fight.
Ryan was facing the demon who had previously wounded him with the mastery of dim power; Bai Yi’s choice was not based on any grudge.
Rather, she was interested in the Abnormal Object it contained!
During this time, her research into magic entities inspired many ideas, and she needed that Abnormal Object!
If she could obtain it, she might create a corresponding non-witch Hero Unit...
Flying close to their battlefield, the demon spotted Bai Yi’s approach, immediately wielding a dim magic stream towards her, intending to block this human expert who had just achieved an instant kill.
Although Bai Yi wanted to test the effect of taking the hit, she prioritized safety during battle, with the gray humanoid intercepting the attack ahead of her.
