For the first time in history, the Fairy Walker's arrow missed its target. The arrow, which was made of light, did not hit anything. It flew into the forest a little further away and disappeared in a flash of light.
Nydore was startled by the Fairy Walker's sudden attack, and she jumped up like a little bunny. "Grandma! What are you doing?! "
The Fairy Walker did not answer her question. Instead, she reached out and pressed her hand on Nydore's head. "Bend down!" Then, the two of them lowered their bodies at the same time, narrowly avoiding a sharp claw that suddenly emerged from behind them. However, before they could raise their heads, they felt a scorching aura brushing past their scalps.
"Huh?!" No matter how slow Nydore was, she could tell that an enemy was coming, but why had she not noticed it before? As the Wind Walker, Nydore was confident in her ability to sense danger, but why was she behaving like a child in front of her own grandmother?
More importantly, how did her grandmother, who had disappeared for so many years, sense a threat coming from behind her?
"Enemy attack! Be careful! " Baiyi's attention was drawn away from the altar as he shouted at the crowd. There was still a trace of fire-elemental mana lingering in his body. The fireball that had flown past Nydore's head had been his doing.
Baiyi had already retracted his attention when the Fairy Walker had unleashed the Caudillo Butterfly. However, his reaction was similar to Nydore's, and he did not notice the danger lurking behind her. As an excellent assassin, Baiyi was confident that no other assassin would be able to do what he did.
More importantly, the opponent's counterattack was very sudden. From Baiyi's vantage point, he could clearly see a gigantic claw that did not belong to a human, which meant that the opponent was not a human.
As he shouted, he moved his Saint Quartz staff to his back and spun it around, deflecting a few green fireballs that had suddenly appeared behind him.
'What's with this enemy?' 'Not just one person? 'And each of them is able to conceal their presence so well that I can't even sense them?'
"That's a Leaper!" The Devil Walker suddenly warned from the Void.
"Hmm?" Baiyi froze for a moment. These demons were known as Leaper, and they were a very rare species. They had a special spatial ability that allowed them to create a small dimension that overlapped with the real world, allowing them to enter and leave the real world freely. They could also appear and disappear at will, making them a very dangerous species of demons.
This kind of ability made them the most perfect assassins. It was a realm that humans could not reach no matter how hard they tried. Fortunately, this kind of demon was relatively rare. At the same time, the small space that they could expand was not too big. Generally, when they were weak, they could only expand a space the size of a cabinet, which was barely enough for them to hide. There was basically no threat. Otherwise, they would probably be able to kill humans.
However, the Leaper that Baiyi was facing right now had a very large space, and its combat prowess was very high. It was far more difficult to deal with than the enemies that Baiyi had faced before. More importantly, although the Leaper was unable to gain any advantage over Baiyi's superior reaction speed, Baiyi did not know how to deal with it.
"This is a Leaper that has lived for a very long time. I wonder how far it can expand its space," The Devil Walker said from the Void.
"Can't you tell me something useful?" Baiyi said, a little annoyed. As he spoke, he created a thick layer of ice shield on the ground, forcing the claws that had just popped out of the ground to retreat.
"There's no good way to deal with them. When I encountered them before, I always tried to exhaust their energy so that they would not be able to maintain their own space. Other than this strange spatial ability, they are quite weak in terms of combat power. As long as I can exhaust them until they come out, I'll win for sure. So, don't worry, it won't be able to do anything to you, right?" The Devil Walker explained its experience in the Void.
"I'm sure I'll win for sure, but I don't have that much time to waste on it. Now that the Devil Walker has appeared, there's no telling what's going on with Mia. I can't let this drag on! " As Baiyi spoke, he used a variety of spells to fend off the Leaper's attacks. He also tried to counterattack, but none of them worked. The Leaper was too cunning, and Baiyi knew that he could not afford to waste any more time. What if the Leaper realized that it was about to run out of energy? The Leaper was no fool. If he let the Leaper return to its mountain, there would be no end to its troubles.
Baiyi could not allow such a dangerous enemy to leave alive. The cunning Leaper knew this, too. Its mission was not to defeat Hope; it was only to test its strength, so it could quit while it was ahead. However, when it realized that Hope had no way to deal with Baiyi, it began to have other ideas.
Since Hope's so-called Oracle, the so-called archenemy of Hope, was helpless against it, why was it unable to do anything to Baiyi? Why not try to deal with him again? Even though Baiyi's attacks could not do anything to the Leaper, he could still go back and show off and prove his strength, right?
Suddenly, the Fairy Walker found an opportunity to approach Baiyi. She whispered, "My dear, I can sense where it is, but I'm not fast enough. Do you have any ideas on your end?"
"What can I do? If only you could share your consciousness and senses with me in this situation! Speaking of which, you can sense its location? "Baiyi was surprised. 'Is my cheap wife really that capable?' 'Yes, she's capable in the literal sense, but not in the literal sense.
"Every time it attacks, it exudes a murderous aura, and the wind can tell me the danger, so I can sense it in advance. But then again, we're husband and wife, so why can't we have this level of telepathy? "The Fairy Walker grumbled after giving a brief explanation.
'Murderous aura? 'What a metaphysical thing …' Baiyi thought to himself. Then, he remembered the stimulation he felt when he was in Special Sensory Mode. Wasn't that the murderous aura?
At the thought of this, he quickly expanded his mental strength on a large scale. As expected, his vision once again presented a completely different color. More information surged towards him frantically, and the familiar thrill also came from behind him.
"Over here?" Baiyi spun around abruptly and hurled a scorching fireball in that direction. Just as the fireball was about to pass, a pair of claws stretched out from that direction and hurled a bolt of demonic lightning at Baiyi.
The fireball and lightning collided fiercely in the air and canceled each other out. The pair of claws immediately retracted in shock.
"Whoa! My dear, you've sensed my feelings, haven't you? "The Fairy Walker said happily.
'What does it have to do with feelings? I sensed it myself! And do you really have to flirt in this kind of situation? ' Baiyi was speechless. But soon, he realized that he could not go on like this. He was still in a passive position.
That cunning enemy only stretched out one of its claws every time it attacked. Its body was still hiding in the Dimension. Even if he could find its position and hit it with a faster and more powerful attack, he would only be able to cut off one of its claws. It would not be a fatal wound. After all, the self-healing and regenerative abilities of demons were always very strong.
He had to find a more effective way … Just as he was thinking about it, the Archmage suddenly poked him with his consciousness and said, "Use this spell! I've just modified it. It's a small-scale space compression spell. It should be very suitable for a situation like this. I've named it Dimensional Space!"
After saying that, he quickly shared the spell he had used on the spot with Baiyi.
'Tsk tsk, this time it's a plagiarized name?' Still, to be able to modify an original forbidden spell in such a short amount of time, Baiyi knew that his teacher's knowledge in magic was extraordinary. Previously, Baiyi had not been able to use a powerful forbidden spell like Dimensional Space Compression, which could directly compress an entire area of space, because he and his group were in the middle of it. If he used it carelessly, he would be dragged into it as well.
Forbidden spells were not suitable for every situation, but with a teacher like the Sage-Emperor of the Magi around, everything was different.
Baiyi began to chant a new spell. When the Leaper sensed the magical fluctuations coming from Baiyi's body, it hesitated for a moment. It did not react in time, nor did it retreat. Hope's earlier counterattack had caused it to hesitate. It was afraid that Baiyi had discovered its weakness.
In truth, there were many limitations to the demon's abilities. For example, it was vulnerable to spatial defenses, and it could not be affected by magic and theurgy. Otherwise, it would have long since slaughtered all the powerful humans and conquered the world.
However, since it was in its own territory, there was no way that it would be unable to unleash its full potential. That was why it was so unfathomable.
Because of its hesitation and its overconfidence in its abilities, it had missed the best time to react, and Baiyi had finished chanting the spell.
