Quickly, the range of the Shadow Barrier shrank once again, and Nai Wenmoâerâs figure reassembled. In this barrier, as long as darkness exists, he is undying.
"Damn it! Youâre seeking your own doom! Iâm going to make you..."
Nai Wenmoâer cursed, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Naphayaâs self-detonation.
"Boom!!"
Then, reassembly once more.
"Insect! How dare you..."
"Boom!!"
"Damn it! Donât..."
"Boom!!"
"Damn it..."
"Boom!!"
"..."
A series of explosions rang out, and this time Naphaya learned from experience, always guarding against the opponentâs charged attacks. Every appearance was immediately followed by a self-detonation at the fastest speed, giving Nai Wenmoâer no time to prepare.
Moreover, Nai Wenmoâer was already heavily spent, and it was difficult for him to use the Power Sequence to suppress Naphayaâs self-detonation, making escape nearly impossible.
Thus, after more than ten self-detonations and resurrections, the barrier emitted by Nai Wenmoâer had shrunk to only cover the size of America. If things continue to develop this way, the demise of this Extraordinary Level Shadow Demon is only a matter of time.
"Damn Holy Angels! Damn Spiritual Wisdom Clan! Just wait! I will be back!"
Finally, Nai Wenmoâer panicked. He was no longer as arrogant and domineering as at the beginning, now focused only on escape.
Naphaya had just completed the rebirth and frowned secretly upon seeing this.
Though he was suppressing the opponent with self-detonations, holding the upper hand, he also understood that this was only temporary, as he might not be able to prevent the opponent from escaping.
After all, the Shadow Demon, though not first-rate in combat ability within the Demon Clan, was unmatched in fleeing ability, able to hide wherever shadows existed in the world. Even with Holy Light, it was difficult to effectively prevent an Extraordinary Level Shadow Demon from escaping.
However, time waits for no one. He had no room to think further, needing to immediately self-detonate to suppress. If he stopped attacking, the Shadow Demon would immediately vanish.
Just then, as Naphaya charged towards Nai Wenmoâer once again, a powerful repulsive force suddenly enveloped him, preventing any further movement or actions.
"No..."
Naphaya was shocked, and then suddenly twisted and disappeared in Nai Wenmoâerâs wary and puzzled gaze.
Nair Moore was stunned upon seeing this, unsure what game this Holy Angel was playing. After probing around for a while, he discovered that the opponent had already left.
"The vortex just now, it felt similar to the spatial fluctuations during projection... Could he have been forcibly moved and left this world...?"
Nai Wenmoâer, experienced in projection, felt oddly familiar seeing this scene.
At this moment, not only him, but also the people of the Star Alliance and Anti-Demon Alliance were confused, bewildered by Naphayaâs sudden disappearance.
Su Changqingâs face changed, for while others were clueless, he understood that Naphayaâs time in this universe was up and he had been forcibly sent back to the Original Realm!
"Not good! Ziwei! Quickly prepare teleportation! Naphaya has been sent back to the Original Realm! He wonât be able to return for a while!"
His words left Ziwei dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how the situation, fine a moment ago, had suddenly turned.
"Kekekeke, kekekeke..."
Nai Wenmoâer, having grasped the current situation, lost the thought of escaping and stood there, unable to help but laugh sinisterly.
"A Star Spirit, a stray dog, and a Holy Angel, all limited by time, ha ha ha! Is your group trying to amuse me!? Hahaha! And what of this remaining snail? Does it, too, have a time limit?! Haha! If so, Iâm happy to inform you that your methods of amusing me succeeded. As a reward, I will let you die painfully in the most agonizing Shadow Prison! Be grateful, foolish insects!!"
Nai Wenmoâer burst into rampant laughter, his gaze once more filled with greed as he looked at the humans.
To him, everything that had happened felt like emerging from a dark forest into bright lights; as an Extraordinary Level entity watched by those inferior ants make such a joke of himself, his best recourse now was to let them suffer in the depths of hell before killing them to reclaim his losses.
"Your insignificant lives shall now be taken by me. Darkness and torment will be your final farewells. Everyone in this world will suffer from your prior foolish blasphemy. Donât dream of escaping; that will only make your death more painful!"
Nai Wenmoâer vented his declaration, gathering Dark Energy in his hand, seemingly intending to forcibly break Da Niuâs defense and deal with the Dark Spirits before him.
Seeing the agglomerating black aura and sensing the terrifying energy within, hopelessness seeped into everyoneâs hearts.
Even Ziwei, eager for battle initially, had lost the will to fight, knowing all too well that the gap between herself and this fellow was far too great. A fight would be a meaningless sacrifice, better to ensure Lin Sisiâs and othersâ escape, preserving hope for those she treasured.
"Oh? Is that so?"
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed from above the sky, interrupting Nai Wenmoâerâs spell-casting.
The voice was cold and indifferent, descending from the heavens with a hint of anger, chilling listeners, causing weaker Dark Spiritsâ Dark Spiritual Power to stagnate, rendering them immobile.
"That, that is..."
Su Changqing was the first to joyously raise his head, gazing towards the dome enveloped by the Shadow Barrier.
"Who!!?"
Nai Wenmoâer shuddered and instinctively looked up.
His barrier was now limited to a very small extent, making it impossible to sense nearby activity.
Though he couldnât sense through the barrier, he felt an ominous intuition.
The newcomerâs power was formidable, at least Upper Control Level Peak. This was evident from their voice penetrating his barrier effortlessly.
"How can it be, how can there be more powerful beings here? What kind of place is this, why do such people keep appearing!?"
Nai Wenmoâer was both angry and bewildered, cursing his own luck.
In fact, he had been lurking on Water Blue Star for a while, just as Ye Yunxiu speculated, having sensed the Holy Angelâs presence and being at a breakthroughâs critical juncture, he remained hidden, pretending to be trapped underground here.
Through years of lurking, he had some understanding of this world; despite the presence of Dark Spirits, most were not strong, and the guards were weaklings, not even Dark Spirits.
However, what he thought to be an easily manipulated world turned out to bite back after his breakthrough, and just as he was about to explode with relief, yet another formidable unknown emerged, igniting his fear.
If the newcomer was merely Control Level, he wouldnât fear much, despite his drained state, an Extraordinary remains an Extraordinary, even a peak opponent wouldnât terrify him.
But if another Extraordinary...
Nai Wenmoâer panicked, pondering whether to hide first, believing no one could find him based on his concealing skills.
