Chapter 110: Breaking Evil, Domain of Bone Magic

Vilyric understood her abilities better than anyone else. If the opponent truly replicated everything about her perfectly, and both sides prepared for an all-out battle, it was not just a question of who would win or lose in the end; the entire Chaotic Secret Realm could very well be obliterated.

Back in the Mountains of Ten Thousand Demons, the words Min Chen spoke left a deep impression on her that still lingered.

At that time, the being who was still the Gatekeeper denied Vilyric’s claim of coming from the Illusory World, as he did not believe there was any power in this world to materialize out of thin air.

This world was immensely real, with its own complete rules and laws, not just some absurd data that could be flipped upside down by simply changing a few numbers and adding a zero or two behind the panel.

Vilyric agreed wholeheartedly and had been trying to seek the truth behind it ever since.

So at this moment, she did not feel it was as simple as merely connecting a thread; this so-called Reflection Stream or Half Shadow could not instantaneously replicate everything about her.

She was not afraid to fight against herself; however, what was in front of her was far from that level, and such replication definitely had its flaws.

Once again, she raised her hand and unleashed multiple light spears, which the opponent predictably deflected.

Indeed, such combat style was also her habit. In battles against equally matched foes, she preferred to engage in long-range exchanges and defenses, exhausting her opponent’s resources until victory was achieved.

This was the proper combat method of a Priestess.

“Leave this to us old folks! Misty Veil Pharmacist, you all go handle the main affair; she must be down there!”

“Got it!”

“Ha, don’t die now.”

After several exchanges, the frail old man seemed satisfied to have successfully stalled the situation and promptly directed two Demon Lords who were having difficulty joining this great battle to break free. Without hesitation, they turned and dashed towards the ancient battleground’s towering pillar that pierced the clouds, not knowing what they intended to do.

“Vilyric! Don’t let them run wild!”

“Mm.”

Hearing Xiao Kong’s loud warning amidst the heated battle, the Priestess nodded.

After this moment of probing, she had generally grasped the situation; delay could lead to changes, so it was best to resolve things quickly.

Stealing a glance at Tao Fei, who was laughing wildly while fighting with Xiao Kong, seemingly enveloped in that surging power and feeling invincible in the mundane world, Vilyric then looked at the ghastly green mist and white figure that had sped away, confirming her priority target.

With a helpless shake of her head, the black-haired girl stopped mending the barrier that had been riddled with holes from the mirrored attacks and simply closed her eyes, softly speaking,

“Let there be light.”

“Buzz~”

Countless rays of light gathered around her, illuminating the ancient battleground.

The golden figure formed from the light behind the girl spread its wings and grasped the Holy Gun, and in an instant, an overwhelming aura that belonged solely to the God surged forth!

“This is… no good, Silver Hunt, come back!!!”

Seeing this scene, the frail old man, Bone Immortal, instantly turned pale and almost without hesitation plunged his bone staff into the ground. The colorful banners swirling at its top seemed to react to an invisible wind, instantly stirring up thousands of gray currents that roared and echoed behind the barrier created by the Reflection Stream!

His loud warning simultaneously reached Tao Fei’s ears, also sensing the terrifying divine aura, making her dare not be careless. She quickly feigned an attack, separating from Xiao Kong, intending to retreat to the back.

However, it was already too late.

“Whoosh!!!”

In a flash, the dazzling golden Holy Gun burst through the air, barreling straight towards the pink-haired girl’s face!

“Yiii!!!!”

In that life-and-death moment, Silver Hunt displayed the resilient survival ability of a Seven Day Demon Lord and a nearly complete Heart-Snatching Evil Demon.

With a furious roar, it swiftly retreated, and countless indistinct figures emerged from its backward motion, forming layers upon layers of light barriers as densely packed as a deck of cards, stacking in front of Tao Fei within moments, totaling at least a thousand layers!

And then, it was pierced cleanly by the Light Holy Gun.

“Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft！！！！！！”

The sound of penetration erupted like explosions across the ancient battleground.

Like thin, fragile sheets of paper, that thousand-layer defensive barrier constructed with all of Heart-Snatching Evil Demon’s might was almost equivalent to zero against the forbidden spell and the true divine-level power. Although it bought a little time, it did nothing to dull the pure light swirling above.

In the next instant, the gold-tipped spear, having pierced through a thousand layers of figures, had already reached the pale-faced Tao Fei.

Without hesitation, it slightly shifted to the side with all its strength in an instant!

“Uaaaahhh!!!!!!”

The Holy Gun skewered through, almost tearing apart a major portion of her shoulder and arm into shreds, with not a drop of blood gushing out; instead, a large amount of pitch-black liquid akin to tar evaporated and dissipated, eliciting a horrifying shriek from the evil demon.

With one hit, Silver Hunt was severely wounded.

Yet, that was the best outcome it could achieve under the most perfect and decisive response. Had it hesitated for just half a moment before that divine spear, it would have pierced right through its body and taken away its twisted life.

Vilyric frowned and once again coalesced a new Holy Gun in the hands of her avatar of light.

To be honest, she really did not expect this Heart-Snatching Evil Demon to escape from under her nose. Even with the support of the mirrored Priestess, her assistance could not infinitely boost her target’s strength. From any perspective, that previous strike was enough to utterly annihilate her.

So this is… what they call combat experience and memory.

It was precisely because it had achieved a near-infallible level of self-awareness and situational assessment that it could snatch survival from the jaws of death. To evade such a killing blow was indeed quite challenging…

She planned to deal another blow to completely end the evil demon’s life, but the next moment, dark clouds rolled in, replacing the energy storm in the high sky of the ancient battleground, enveloping both Vilyric and the previously gathered Xiao Kong within.

“Hmm? What is this now?”

The black-haired girl looked up, her gaze capturing the floating black bone staff in the sky, surrounded by a whirlpool of countless spirits.

“This feeling… Vilyric, I fear it is a pseudo-divine kingdom.”

“Eh? Seriously? This is outrageous! That old man can pull off such tricks?”

While also gazing upward at the darkened sky and surroundings, the Cat Daughter’s beautiful eyes finally displayed hints of anxiety and even more anger.

“Bastard, they actually refined the souls of demons to forcibly support this pseudo-divine kingdom with burning—how many lives did they slaughter?”

“Vilyric, we need to hurry and get out of here; these guys’ goal must be to liberate Taotie and create even greater chaos. We absolutely cannot let them succeed! If it comes to that, I’ll take care of it here…”

The black-haired girl tilted her head and glanced at Xiao Kong.

“You want to use true divine-level power? That will bring disaster, won’t it?”

“Better than letting Taotie awaken! Just a little bit of usage…”

Compared to Xiao Kong’s concerns, the Priestess seemed still calm, even patted her shoulder as if they had leisure to spare.

“Alright, no need to be so anxious. Although I’m not too clear on how mighty this Taotie is to make you so worried, but I’m not unfamiliar with methods like pseudo-divine kingdoms; leave it to me.”

At this point, the black-haired girl smiled slightly.

“And besides… even though you’re powerful, but the beings of this world aren’t so fragile that they need divinities to back them up everywhere, right? Don’t forget, the enemies of those guys aren’t just us two~”
