With this thought, Angel stopped pondering and instead focused on his breathing, closing his eyes in meditation amid the chaos, seeking to restore the magic power he had earlier expended.
Time quietly passed by.
Angel was awoken by a sudden outcry. Opening his eyes, he saw a vague sense of spatial distortion appearing in the direction of the top of the Void Tower.
On closer inspection, he noticed the Phantom Shadow on Aoluxiya’s body slowly disintegrating into particles of light.
The one who cried out, however, was Greerwu on the other side, who had been ignored by others. Its eyes conveyed urgency and confusion, occasionally glancing at Aoluxiya and then towards the distant Flame Demon Tandin.
Tandin also noticed the situation here. It was anxious as well, but it was entangled with Sinafa and unable to return to defend.
Aoluxiya’s True Spirit had broken through? Angel, looking at the gradually disappearing Phantom Shadow, finally affirmed his inner guess.
As the Phantom Shadow disappeared, Monty and Komodo simultaneously rushed toward Aoluxiya!
Now clearly visible, without the protection of True Spirit and True Name, Aoluxiya, still in an unguarded state, represented the perfect moment to be reaped!
However, just as they were about to reach the top of the tower, two figures suddenly blocked their path.
Nitotipu and Yadasai!
“Pitter-patter…” Nitotipu, with her umbrella, had transparent tentacles swirling beneath her dress, her eyes sparkling with a faint light.
Yadasai stood in front of Nitotipu, his bone armor fully unleashed.
“Nitotipu, Yadasai! Are you trying to stop me?” Komodo bellowed as it charged forward, but Komodo, greatly weakened, was consistently blocked by Yadasai.
Monty watched the two great Demons with a dark gaze.
“You can’t stop me,” Monty said. At that moment, Samantha, Issac, Nereus, and other True Knowledge Wizards took to the air, surrounding them.
“Whether we can stop you or not is one thing, but whether we should is another. After all, I’m not a fool like Komodo…” Nitotipu gently tossed her umbrella, and a dark cloud slowly gathered in the sky. Everyone’s gaze sharpened in anticipation of intercepting them, but Yadasai protected Nitotipu’s side, and for a moment, no one could break through Yadasai’s defense.
This time, Nitotipu’s raincloud was very small, covering only the area near the top of the Void Tower, even deliberately avoiding where the Night Innkeeper was.
Once the raincloud spread, Nitotipu said with a smile, “I must do what needs to be done. Otherwise, when Lord Galal arrives and questions me for my crimes, it would be rather unpleasant.”
Lord Galal?! Everyone caught a keyword from Nitotipu’s mouth—only a Demon that has ascended the throne could be addressed as a lord.
Did Nitotipu mean that a Demon Lord was about to arrive?
Everyone was stunned.
Just moments before, they had relaxed because it seemed the Night Innkeeper was not moving to act, but now they were being told that although the Night Innkeeper wasn’t acting, another Demon Lord was en route?!
The Night Innkeeper was a newly ascended lord; if a fight broke out, perhaps they still had a chance to flee. But Lord Galal, mentioned by Nitotipu, was definitely a seasoned lord, one whose strength had reached its peak, possessed wondrous powers, and who could also employ a complete Law Domain!
If they were to face such a Demon Lord, they would have no chance of escape!
“Galal is coming?” Komodo also froze for a moment. As a Demon, it knew far better than the humans the might of Lord Galal.
Previously, a mere decree from Galal had mobilized all seven Demon Lords of the Void Tower for Aoluxiya’s escort, even resolving to use the method of Void vibration.
But now, Galal himself was coming?!
“Komodo, you better think carefully about what you are doing.” Nitotipu’s voice once again reached Komodo’s ears.
Komodo shivered, pondering whether to stop. But at that moment, his mind buzzed as if countless whispers were in his ears. His previously somewhat clear thoughts once again plunged into chaos.
Externally, this manifested as Urdixinos and Minotaur’s Phantom Shadows becoming more distinct behind Komodo.
Clearly, the after-effects of Komodo consuming two Blood Cocoons were erupting again.
“Mine, mine, no one can stop me! The Primeval Flame will be mine!” Komodo suddenly raised its head, its eyes completely bloodshot, a violent red.
Nitotipu sighed softly at this scene.
Once Komodo became frenzied, it charged at Yadasai heedlessly.
Simultaneously with Komodo’s action, the humans also launched an assault on Nitotipu.
The battle reignited in an instant.
However, unknown to anyone, at that very moment, at the top of the Void Tower, only a wall away, a terrifying being resembling an alien, watched with greedy eyes toward the ceiling. It seemed to be able to see everything outside through that wall.
Behind it, numerous sinister, blood-red patterns shimmered.
