After Victor swiftly dealt with the spider demon hunter, he stood still for a while until a distant demonic creature roared and charged toward him.
Following his instincts, as if swatting a fly, Victor lightly waved his paw. Under the power bestowed by the rules of the Netherworld, five massive claw marks tore through space, quickly sweeping around him, instantly clearing out the surrounding low-level demonic creatures.
Only then did Victor come back to his senses and transmit a mental wave to Wen Yu in the distance.
"Wen Yu, it’s done."
A few seconds passed before Wen Yu sent back a new command.
"Get ready, I’m about to activate the fifth soul realm and pull you over. Once you're here, sneak up on those three fire demons and take them out directly, then we’ll retreat."
"We should kill them all!"
Victor had a different opinion.
"Trust me, this won’t just end here!"
Hearing Wen Yu's response, Victor fell silent for a moment, "Understood."
He then slowly picked up the bow and arrow dropped by the spider demon hunter, waiting for the upcoming power of the soul realm space transmission.
...
Having communicated the tactical plan with Victor, Wen Yu restarted the dark world that had been dispelled by black flames, while simultaneously firing his dual pistols, taking down a mid-level fifth-tier ancient demon nearby.
Not far away, Faceless struck fiercely with both fists, smashing a peak fifth-tier ancient demon into meat paste, only to be hit by another ancient demon, sending him flying far away.
In mid-air, numerous skills slammed into Faceless's body, adding one scar after another of varying sizes to his form.
At this point, Faceless was struggling to hold on...
These ancient demons showed no restraint or fear of death at all; one after another, they charged at Wen Yu and Faceless like they were on drugs, even sacrificing themselves just to inflict a minuscule wound on the main duo.
Under the relentless interception of these ancient demon legions, Wen Yu and Faceless found themselves at a slight disadvantage.
Looking at the current battlefield, the strategy of the demonic clan’s vicious dogs gnawing at the tiger had taken effect—if Victor got entangled by the spider demon hunter, Wen Yu would very likely be trapped and killed by the ancient demon legion.
...
Roaring waves of dark energy swept across the surroundings, pushing back dozens of ancient demons near Wen Yu.
The next second, Wen Yu decisively opened the fifth soul realm.
As purple light flashed, Victor silently appeared beside Wen Yu, then slowly faded away, drifting toward the position of the three fire demons hiding in the distance.
While managing the continuous attacks from the ancient demons, Wen Yu focused part of his attention on Victor’s position.
The skills of the three fire demons possessed the power to dispel effects, and Wen Yu was worried that such abilities could disperse the power of Victor's Netherworld.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not unfold.
Currently, the darkness was at sss rank, while the Netherworld was at foundation level. The black flames could dispel the dark world but could not disperse the power of the Netherworld—thus, the black fireballs from the three fire demons should be sss rank skills.
In Wen Yu's line of sight, several fireballs crossed through the unseen Netherworld, but there was no sign of the Netherworld collapsing. Under these circumstances, Victor made his way smoothly to the side of the three fire demons.
...
"Boom!!!"
Several explosive sounds reverberated across the battlefield, followed by towering waves of fire and heat.
The next second, a slightly weakened voice from Victor emerged: "It's done, these guys can self-destruct, almost blew me up!"
From Victor's mental fluctuations, Wen Yu could sense his weakness—he must have sustained some injuries.
However, with the healing effects of the soul realm space, these injuries were insignificant.
Wen Yu directly pulled Victor back into the soul realm space from afar, along with Faceless.
Looking at the ancient demon legion and low-level demonic creatures advancing around him, Wen Yu's lips curled into a sinister smile.
