Looking at the remaining ashes in his hand, Baiyi shook his hand helplessly and changed the Void Energy in his body back to normal Mana. Sighing, I didn't even get a single word out of them but there's not even a single material left behind … If I knew this would happen, I would've held back a little earlier.
The devil's heart, the devil's horn and some other special parts of their body were all good magical materials but now, all of them had turned into a pile of ashes and those Intermediate Level devils were vaporized by him as well.
Still, it was not a loss at all. There were not many opportunities for him to use the Void Energy to have a good time so the loss was totally acceptable.
So, he walked up to the dimensional fissure and prepared to close it. This thing was too unstable, and he had to use a set of scientific and meticulous procedures to close it. A slight mistake in triggering dimensional turbulence would be a small matter, but expanding the fissure into a permanent one would be a huge problem. The few permanent fissures in Isythre were caused by the mages back in the day. They simply bombarded the fissures with powerful magic spells.
At that moment, even though the crack was still emitting waves of spatial fluctuations, indicating that it was still functioning normally, there were no more devils coming out from it. It could be seen that the invading force was only a medium-sized team. The combination of the strong and the weak was also a standard vanguard team. Other than the Tiamat who had a mark on her chest, such a large-scale invasion was quite common in Isythre. Even if it was not during the war, it would still happen occasionally but it was rare to see such an invasion in the human hinterland.
Spatial cracks were not something that could be opened at will. Other than those large-scale permanent cracks, if one wanted to open a new crack in a peaceful area, it would usually require a traitor from the human side to guide them. These traitors were usually those who were bewitched by the devils, those who had signed a contract with them or those who were cultists.
Obviously, the Godsfall cult was one of them. However, they did not seem to be an ordinary cult. Unfortunately, after such a long time, Baiyi knew that he would not be able to catch up with them. They must be very experienced in escaping. For now, the only thing he could do was to close the crack and leave the rest to the Church.
However, just as he extended his Psychic Energy out, a series of footsteps could be heard coming from behind him. Turning around, he saw Mia running towards him with the hammerhead shark plushie in her arms and diving into his arms.
"Woo … Mr. Hope, it's great that you're alright." Mia said as she rubbed herself against his abdomen. Then, she turned her head to look at the quiet surroundings. She did not seem to be surprised. Instead, she exclaimed, "So many demons were killed by Mr. Hope! My Mr. Hope is really the best!" Mia exclaimed.
"I told you, this is just a small scene." Feeling relieved, Baiyi rubbed Mia's head affectionately and helped her clean off the grass that was stuck on her robe. Concerned, he asked, "How do you feel? Are you hurt? Is your head still dizzy? "
Mia quickly shook her head and lifted her cute little face to smile at Baiyi. He could see that her face was much more relaxed than before. It seemed like the Psychic Energy Recovery Potion had taken effect.
"Sharkie protected me again. Sharkie is really amazing!" As the little girl spoke, she lowered her head and rubbed the belly of the hammerhead shark. Then, with a slightly regretful look on her face, she said, "Too bad I didn't get to see how Mr. Hope dealt with those demons."
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll tell you about it," Baiyi replied as he gently pinched Mia's cheeks.
Just like what the banshee had said, since she knew that Mia was hiding in the woods, there was no reason for her to let her go. While she was fighting with Baiyi, a small group of demons had already circled around from the side and pounced on Mia who was hiding in the woods.
Baiyi had noticed that as well. However, since the number of demons was still within the range of the hammerhead shark plushie, he did not pay much attention to it. Even though the guardian that he had chosen for Mia was not very professional, it was still very strong!
When the enemy was approaching, Mia had also noticed it. She was very nervous as she hugged the hammerhead shark plushie tightly. However, she was afraid that she would disturb Baiyi's battle so she forced herself to stand up and escape. However, the headache and dizziness caused by the exhaustion of her Psychic Energy was not something that the soft and adorable Mia could withstand. Even though she was strong and tried her best, she just could not stand up.
Unable to bear it any longer, the hammerhead shark plushie leaped out from Mia's embrace and patted her head comfortingly. Then, it quickly swam two rounds in the air and disappeared from where it was. It seemed like it was planning to hide and deal with the enemy in the dark.
"Where did you go, Sharkie?" Mia asked worriedly. Then, she turned her head and looked around. Suddenly, her little hand reached into the bushes in front of her and grabbed the hammerhead shark's tail. Puzzled, she asked, "Sharkie, why are you hiding here? Don't be afraid, I'll bring you along... "
The fins of the hammerhead shark plushie drooped down on the spot. It was as if the hammerhead shark was doubting its own existence. However, at that moment, the hammerhead shark plushie was a powerful Voidwalker. Even if its professionalism was not very good, it would not stoop to the point where Mia had to protect it. Once again, the plushie struggled out of Mia's grasp and swam to a place further away to hide again.
After a while, a pig-headed demon could be heard warning the other demons to pay attention to the strange things on the tree branches. Needless to say, just the name itself was enough to tell that the pig-headed demon was not very intelligent.
Then, the hammerhead shark plushie was enraged. It gave up on hiding and hiding and pounced on the group of demons angrily, killing them all in a blink of an eye. Although the hammerhead shark plushie did not have a lot of Combat Chi that it could use, it was still more than enough to deal with these demons in the hands of a top-tier elite.
After all, the combat aura shield would only be activated when the enemy's attack was about to reach him, and the combat aura shield would only be activated when the enemy's attack was about to reach him. Or, the combat aura shield would only be activated when the blade was about to pierce through the enemy's throat. The consumption of combat aura would be different, and the fluctuation of combat aura would be different as well.
Like an angry lion, it leaped into the group of demons and flew up and down agilely. It only used a simple and fast Salted Fish Charge to attack. The moment it came into contact with the demons, it opened a small Combat Chi Blade on its head and easily pierced through the vital parts of the demons, killing them on the spot.
It was just that his combat skills were so exquisite but when it came to his concealment skills... Not only was he discovered by Mia, but he was also discovered by the low IQ Pig-Headed Fiend. His professionalism was really not flattering at all...
That was probably what happened to Mia. Her attention was completely focused on the hammerhead shark plushie that was like a berserker, so she did not notice the scene where Baiyi was wiping out the demons. In fact, it was also because Baiyi was sure that she was not looking at him that he used his Void Energy in such a high-profile manner.
After all, the little girl would not question why he was so powerful anyway.
The crisis of the town was temporarily resolved. Although there were still a lot of doubts, now that Mia's soft body was obediently in his arms and there was a Space Crack in front of him that he could not ignore, Baiyi did not think too much about it. Holding Mia's little hand, he began to teach her how to close a Space Crack step by step. Although she would not be able to use this skill in the future, it was still a good practice for her.
As Baiyi was teaching, he demonstrated all kinds of things. From time to time, he would let Mia use the little bit of Psychic Energy that she had just recovered to try to operate it. If she did it right, he would play with her hair to encourage her. If she did it wrong, he would pinch her cheeks as a form of punishment.
However, this time, Mia did not object to his teaching method at all. Snuggling in Baiyi's arms, she listened attentively to his teaching, not feeling tired or bored at all.
It was obvious that Mia was even more attached to Baiyi now. After fighting side by side with him that night, all the tiredness that she should have felt had been swept away along with the excitement of the battle. In fact, she even looked very excited.
Unfortunately, sealing a Space Crack was a very tedious task. It was impossible to finish the lesson in just one night. In fact, the heart-warming lesson did not last for too long before Mia's father arrived with a few young militiamen. They were holding a few pitchforks in their hands and wearing the familiar militia full body armor.
Fortunately, Baiyi was quick enough to get rid of the devils in advance. Otherwise, if those people really came in during the battle, it would be really troublesome for him.
Mia's father also saw the scene of Baiyi holding Mia in his arms as he taught. Uncharacteristically, he did not show a look of disgust. Instead, he coughed a few times to attract Mia's attention.
"Daddy!" Mia screamed happily as she left Baiyi's side and threw herself into her father's arms. "I saved the town with Mr. Hope!" The girl boasted proudly. "Well, I didn't do much, but I did try my best!"
Baiyi's heart was filled with worry. After sealing the Space Crack, he walked back to the two of them and nodded his head at Mia's father, "She did well. She should be safe now. How are the villagers? "
"As you said, they retreated to Mount Wyllspring," Mia's father replied. There was a slight change in his gaze as he looked at Baiyi. In a serious tone, he said, "Thank you for everything that you've done for this place."
"It's what I should do," Baiyi replied humbly.
When Mia saw the two men who were very important to her talking to each other so peacefully, a gratified smile appeared on her face. She took the initiative to hold their hands and said loudly, "From now on, we're a family!"
