The emerald figure traversed through a sea of flames. Yalis, after pulling away to gain distance, shot her arrow with a drawn bow. Her sharp eyes locked onto the Divine Monarch like a hawk, and the vibrant green arrow descended from the sky.

"Whoosh!!"

The emerald arrow pierced through the sky, breaking through a dense web of flames as it swiftly targeted Ye Mingqiu’s chest.

However, the [Innate Perception] had already anticipated the arrow’s trajectory.

"Clang!"

The Blood Spear knocked down the arrow, and in an instant, the vibrant green light exploded, transforming into countless phantom vines that enveloped Ye Mingqiu. Numerous tiny seeds attempted to quietly integrate into his body, seeking to parasitize.

Though it seemed like a mere explosion of the arrow, it was actually a magical attack, an extremely sophisticated spell, difficult for an ordinary Spiritualist to counter.

This is... Elf Magic.

Elf Magic’s upper limit is slightly lower than standard magic, but the advantage is that when it’s taught to a specific target, it is much easier to learn than regular magic and requires much less from the Mental Attribute, making it more suitable for non-Magic System professionals to learn.

[Magic Energy Devouring]

Ye Mingqiu cast the spell calmly, layers of pitch-black [Abyssal Power] enveloped him, engulfing those vibrant green lights and making him stronger.

The Divine Monarch, shrouded in the pitch-black [Abyssal Power], revealed only half of his face. The crimson glow in his eyes appeared increasingly ferocious amidst the gloom. He raised an arm, and the [Abyssal Power] behind him churned like boiling water.

[Darkness Descends]

Countless liquid tentacles formed from [Abyssal Power] climbed from the ground to the sky. Centered around the Divine Monarch, the area for casting spells was transformed into a dark Abyss, as if Hell’s gates had opened, unleashing a terrifying black tide that consumed the sky.

"Darkness Descends? How is that possible?"

In the sky, Yalis couldn’t hold back any longer, shouting in pain and with a twisted expression.

As a top-level Spiritualist, she naturally had some knowledge of Evil Magic. She also understood how much consumption and loss it required for an ordinary Spiritualist to convert Spiritual Energy into Magic Energy.

Even for the most powerful warriors, it would require at least ten thousand Spiritual Energy to cast this!

Which would mean this BYD Divine Monarch would have at least ten thousand of total Spiritual Energy? And that’s even considering he had just used the Demon Flame Arrow earlier? This guy at Level 4 already has such an amount of Spiritual Power? Even with the ability to use Magic Energy without cost, it shouldn’t be like this?

She simply couldn’t think that Ye Mingqiu was using not transformed Magic Energy but rather the Sequence’s Abyssal Power, making the consumption for casting Evil Magic much smaller while maintaining greater power.

Moreover...

Ye Mingqiu has two blue bars!

And their equivalent to nearly ten thousand in total Spiritual Energy!

"We can’t sit and wait for death!!"

Yalis deeply understood that Darkness Descends was a Domain type of Evil Magic. Once covered by this dark field, she wouldn’t have any chance of victory.

She must escape from this Domain as quickly as possible!

"Snap!"

She immediately clapped her hands, and light green Spiritual Energy ignited from her body like flames. Large amounts of Spiritual Energy were converted into Magic to construct Elf Magic. A huge green magic circle formed in midair, and enormous golden-glowing tree roots continuously emerged from the circle, as if to cover half the sky.

...

"Is this the Divine Tree Summon?"

Ye Mingqiu murmured softly.

The essence of this Elf Magic is to summon a projection carrying the power of the Divine Tree to counter with the Domain of Darkness Descends. But in essence, it is still a creation of Spiritual Energy and can still be devoured by Abyssal Power.

The feature of Divine Tree Summon is that it can rely on the power of the summoner, saving a part of the Spiritual Energy consumption, and subsequently, it can summon a sufficiently strong projection even if the Spiritual Energy consumption isn’t that much.

However...

"As its user, you’re still too weak."

Ye Mingqiu finally declared.

The black tide surged toward the sky, clashing with the myriad roots of the Divine Tree. Several golden-glowing divine roots pulverized the black tide, but even more darkness consumed it, countless black hands reached for the Divine Tree, seemingly intent on devouring the sky’s roots.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the battle, Yalis, who had been releasing Elf Magic, quietly disappeared. She concealed herself within the energy waves of the Divine Tree, completely hiding her presence, and with tightly knit brows, she watched the Divine Monarch on the ground.

’I never expected this guy to be so strong. Who knew he could still cast spells!’

’Not good, the strategy of long-range tugging is hard to implement. I’ll have to temporarily hide my tracks, lurking within the mountain, waiting to strike a fatal blow.’

"Damn it!"

Yalis felt the depletion of her Spiritual Energy within her, her brows furrowing tighter.

The Legendary Profession, Wind Spirit Night Shadow, was undoubtedly strong, possessing the potential to cast Elf Magic, with extraordinary mobility and long-range offensive capabilities.

But her total Spiritual Energy was not high, unable to release too many Skills. The recent Divine Tree Summon had nearly drained her. To launch another Skill that could determine the battle’s outcome, she had to hide for a while longer.

Extend the battle line!

Find another chance later!

Yalis quietly withdrew, entering a small mountain cave amidst the sounds of the black tide and Divine Tree’s roots clashing, her tense heart slightly relaxing.

But the next moment... 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A scarlet, bloodthirsty spear suddenly erupted from the shadows, instantly piercing through her body. In Yalis’s bewildered and shocked eyes, the man with blood-colored eyes whispered:

"It’s already full here."

"W-why?"

Yalis’s voice trembled.

"Poof!"

Without a response, Ye Mingqiu punched through her chest, precisely shattering the heart, watching as Yalis turned into white light, disappearing in despair and confusion.
