At this moment, even Stica, slow as he was, could sense what was happening.
As his greatest reliance, the instant his ability suddenly mutated, Stica immediately knew something was wrong.
Without time to assess the situation, he flipped over and prepared to jump into the ocean, hoping to use the sea to evade potential pursuit. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N()velFire.net
But it was obviously too late, as soon as he moved, decay followed close upon creation.
Although he hadn’t directly faced such an ability’s attack last time, he had seen it in action, quickly identifying the attacker’s identity, which weighed down his heart.
For he had already seen the surrounding darkness, knowing he couldn’t escape anytime soon.
Moreover, the source of his ability, that abnormal object, had also malfunctioned, seemingly birthing its own consciousness, resisting his control.
Let alone using that level of concealment again, even utilizing his ability had become a far-off hope.
"No, I can’t give up, I managed to escape, yet haven’t enjoyed life! I refuse to die!"
Having learned from past experience, Stica immediately assumed Bai Yi was there to kill him, and under the pressure of impending death, he finally ceased holding back.
If his ability couldn’t be used, he wouldn’t rely on it!
Since his ability wasn’t purely energy control, he had no specific inclination, meaning he had no barrier to learning other spells or abilities!
Wielding an unknown spell, Stica immediately leapt into the air, attempting a breakthrough.
But he quickly encountered the darkness enclosing that area.
Though this shadow was accompanied by the arrival of the scarlet, even Ju couldn’t hold out for long, yet Bai Yi was confident in resolving the battle within these dozen seconds.
At the moment of creation’s effect, Stica’s information had already appeared on the panel, finally revealing the essence of that ability!

As expected, it was purely a power targeting the mind, not true invisibility, giving Bai Yi complete peace of mind.
Moreover, as a pure glass cannon, even having reached level 9, Stica’s health barely topped a hundred thousand.
Under decay, twenty seconds was all it took to take him down!
Not to mention, with the soul created afterward, Stica could no longer conceal himself, his greatest and only advantage gone.
Stepping back a thousand paces, considering the worst case, even if the shadow vanished now, Stica couldn’t pull off another vanishing act.
Even further back, even if Stica succeeded in using his ability, with that soul present, it still amounted to information interaction, rendering invisibility ineffective to Bai Yi!
If Bai Yi weren’t reluctant to tempt fate, she could declare here that Stica had no escape!
And Stica quickly realized this too, finding the shadow an insurmountable barrier without abnormal object-level attack capability.
Feeling a force gnawing at him, even those burgeoning blood flesh were purged by demonic spells upon birth, but continued consumption meant he couldn’t last long!
He needed a breakthrough point!
But this darkness had covered all areas, leaving no exit... or was there?
Stica suddenly thought of something, glanced upwards, sensing there might indeed not be...
As a demon, one of their cultural habits was frequently looking up at the Life Planet, their axiom "demons never look up" didn’t hold among them.
Fixing eyes on the "Red Moon" in the sky pouring power, Stica entered a brainstorm.
A closed space always had weak points somehow, though that Red Moon seemed a power source, couldn’t a power source also be a weakness of this space?
Perhaps it was merely a disguise fabricated by that human for this weakness!

The flicker of hope in Stica’s eyes was immediately seized by Bai Yi, causing her heart to tighten.
It wasn’t a lack of confidence in her plan and ability, but Stica’s impressive record.
Even though this Stica had some bad luck, and the panel data showed he was at the end of his rope, seemingly about to collapse.
Yet, "having twice escaped from humans’ strongest" meant Bai Yi couldn’t help but regard it with the highest caution.
Sure enough, magic surged around Stica, an unknown ability brewing at once.
"So there was more up his sleeve!"
Bai Yi quietly shouted, and everything before her turned gray, a manifestation of the power of decay!
But Stica’s next moves caused Bai Yi to exclaim "What the—", momentarily halting her preventative actions.
Watching Stica wield his magic into a fierce flame, using the fire as cover, he instantly dashed toward the sky’s "Red Moon".
As long as... as he could just reach that place!
At that moment, all Stica’s hope pinned on the Red Moon, with magic power insufficient to sustain him any longer, one more misstep and he was truly finished!
