Without the restraint of the Silver Corpse, Yani once again returned to her agile form. Ignoring the two level five corpses lying on the ground, she reached into the exquisite pocket in the center of her apron and pulled out a beautifully packaged candy. Without bothering to tear open the packaging, she swallowed it whole.
As the candy went down, the light blue aura surrounding Yani whirled around her, instantly making her body feel lighter. Coupled with the extra twenty percent power she received from her petrified sister Yaten, Yani immediately transformed into a harvesting machine for human life. She struck left and right, quickly forming a vacuum zone around her; any corpse that entered this area was smashed to pieces.
Princess Sisi, the sorceress, was not idle either. After using two fireballs to rescue Yani, she wandered leisurely around the room. A ring of fire ignited beneath her feet, setting ablaze any corpse that got too close. Her wand occasionally unleashed fireballs or flames, turning her targets into ashes.
Corpses, perhaps due to their lack of moisture, were particularly fearful of flames. Because of this, they hesitated to attack Princess Sisi, concentrating their assaults mainly on the twin sisters.
Having just devoured a speed candy that randomly appeared, Yani was in a high-speed combat state. There were not many corpses that could reach her, and since the products of the human puppet technique were inherently strong in physical defense, even a solid punch from a level five corpse merely caused her to stagger without inflicting significant damage.
In this situation, many corpses turned their attention toward the petrified Yaten.
However, in her petrified state, Yaten's defense had significantly increased. Many corpses surrounded her for a long time without being able to harm the girl turned into a statue. Eventually, this drew the attention of Princess Sisi, who unleashed a large ball of flame from above, incinerating them all.
After this, no corpses dared to repeat such foolishness.
Previously, the number of corpses on the entire floor exceeded two thousand. After the fighting began and after several twists and turns, their numbers had sharply decreased by at least half. Princess Sisi's fire magic was the natural enemy of these corpses; those below level three were guaranteed to perish upon contact. Her kill count quickly surpassed Yani's and was still rising rapidly!
Although Yani did not kill as many as Princess Sisi in total, her single-target attacks were stronger. Even those two level five corpses, after trying once, did not dare to confront her head-on.
Thus, the situation became somewhat strange, with the numerous corpses becoming the passive defenders, while only the two attacking points of Yani and Princess Sisi wreaked havoc.
This was naturally related to the terrain they were in; the number advantage of the corpses was greatly limited within the room. However, it also indicated the overwhelming offensive capability of the twin sisters when they put forth their effort.
The battle concluded in a peculiar manner.
Before Princess Sisi repeatedly used fireballs, flames, and a passive ability-like fire circle around her, she suddenly employed a brand-new spell: Fire Rain.
The area was not large, only covering a few square meters, and the fire rain could hardly be called dense, even appearing somewhat sparse. However, for the corpses, this was quite troublesome. A single drop of fire rain could easily ignite a low-level corpse. Even if the 'rain' was sparse, there were still hundreds of drops, covering a vast area both inside and outside the building near the entrance. The ignited corpses easily set their fellow corpses ablaze, plunging the majority of the remaining corpses into flames.
At this moment, a scream echoed throughout the building. Upon hearing this sound, the corpses began to retreat rapidly, huddling in a corner of the corridor to watch Yani and Princess Sisi.
At the same time, Yani received a command from Ye Zhongming and halted her attacks.
