Being pinned to the ground and beaten is quite unfortunate, just like this green-skinned demon right now.
Its combat power was among the best among its companions, but under the relentless strikes of phantom shadows, it completely lost its ability to resist.
At this moment, the only characteristic of its robust physique was magnified infinitely.
In the apocalypse, whether evolvers or mutated beings, the vast majority evolved in a balanced manner, or what could be called comprehensive evolution. The body becomes stronger, and alongside it, there are magical-like abilities one can use.
Only a few exist that evolve in a singular direction, either in physical prowess or skill.
However, the green-skinned demons are different; they possess strengths in physical aspects that other lifeforms find hard to match, allowing them to often suppress lifeforms of the same rank.
But this situation isn’t without its flaws. Once they encounter beings with similar physical strength, their advantages vanish, and their lack of skills becomes another weakness.
Yani, being a Gold Corpse, has a strong and powerful body, having consumed a power fruit, and with the equipment and abilities from her wild companion set, defeating a green-skinned demon whose agility was limited by golden spots is not surprising at all.
In fact, if it weren’t for its level being one tier higher than Yani's, the entire battle might have been resolved in just a few moves, rather than lasting so long without death.
It wasn’t until Yani smashed the green-skinned demon’s head that the kill was truly completed. One of the most powerful green-skinned demons died in such a humiliating way.
On the other side, Yaten had also entered battle mode. Facing two opponents, she showed no signs of falling behind.
At this moment, her Silken Puppet had transformed into an archer, adorned in magnificent, flowing leather armor, single-handedly entangling a green-skinned demon.
The Silken Puppet transformed into an archer was no ordinary archer; it possessed a full status. What is full status? It means having various buffs. Currently, she held an exquisite longbow, and almost imperceptibly, as she drew and released her bow, countless afterimages flew through the air, striking the green-skinned demon.
The green-skinned demon didn’t want to dodge; it simply couldn’t, not only because of the golden spots on its body but also because the archer's shooting speed was extraordinary, so fast that it couldn’t catch her movements. The arrows seemed to never cease raining down.
It’s hard to imagine that a single person could create the sensation of a rain of arrows.
While the metallic tip of the arrows indeed had difficulty piercing the green-skinned demon's skin, the demon could easily swat away some arrows with a wave of its hand, yet several arrows still found their way in, striking its body.
This forced the green-skinned demon to cover its head and eyes with one hand to prevent being hit repeatedly.
However, this left it in a completely passive position, as arrows began to rain down one after another, each hitting with almost surgical precision. If one arrow couldn't penetrate its skin, more would land on the same spot until it broke through.
Whenever its skin was struck, the green-skinned demon naturally felt pain, forcing it to shift its body and protect the injured area. But this meant that another area would then suffer the same fate.
The green-skinned demon had considered counterattacking; it charged at the archer multiple times, but each movement caused arrows to shoot toward its eyes and ears, targeting any openings on its head.
This made it incredibly irritated.
It even attempted to charge with its head down, but the archer was as agile as a monkey, moving faster than it could when the golden spots weren’t hindering it, and continued firing while on the move, which seemed utterly unfair.
In a mere moment, the green-skinned demon was covered in wounds.
It realized this was not a solution; over time, it would be worn down and eventually killed by this archer, whose raw power was far below its own.
