A sinister voice unleashes a violent storm in the Dark Hall, as a massive black fog column descends and connects to the demon, restoring and amplifying its energy barrier to an even stronger state. Frank identifies the demon's power source as the inexhaustible black fog miasma enveloping the Land of the Undead, plunging Leo Ray and his allies into grim despair amid the restored threat. The demon launches a relentless barrage of corrosive orbs manipulated through space, shattering the defenses of Frank, Old Gary, and Yoyo, only for Leo Ray to shield them with a golden Absolute Defense Barrier powered by Little Jie, though the unyielding assault strains it to the brink.

"Young human, what should we do now?"

The newly arrived pink-hooded figure displayed an anxious look on her pale features. While channeling power into the Absolute Defense Barrier, she wrinkled her forehead in query, obviously confused and completely panicked.

The pink-hooded figure wasn't alone; Frank and the recently freed companions shared the identical anxious looks, all staring straight at Leo Ray.

"We have to break the link between the foe and the Black Fog right away, or victory will slip from our grasp."

Leo Ray gave a nod to his companions, his gaze fixed on the massive shadow emerging from the shadows in front.

"Yet, how on earth are we supposed to achieve that? I attempted space distortion moments ago, but the fog refuses to be severed!"

The pink-hooded figure's face grew even more pressing as she posed the question once more.

Looking upon the worried expression of the pink-hooded figure, Leo Ray found himself momentarily speechless.

Her point was valid; earlier, he had directed Sheila and Little Jie to strike the junction linking the demon to the Black Fog, yet it proved useless.

"We can't just linger here awaiting doom; let's give it another shot."

Leo Ray softly tapped Little Jie's shoulder, indicating for her to sustain the Absolute Defense Barrier, before signaling agreement to the others.

With Little Jie's petite elf shape resting on his shoulder, every shift he made carried the whole Absolute Defense Barrier along.

At Leo Ray's declaration, the team readied themselves for the next move.

"Let's advance!"

Following Leo Ray's order, the team soared forward collectively, shielded by the Absolute Defense Barrier, beginning their approach toward the demon.

Their objective remained straightforward: target the spot joining the adversary to the Black Fog.

"Mere pointless efforts!"

Observing their advance, the demon's contorted spider visage turned wilder than before, while additional acidic black orbs materialized from thin air, plummeting from every angle.

"Strike!"

As they neared the colossal beast, Leo Ray and his allies unleashed their abilities: bolts of Thunder Light, twists in space, blasts of elemental magic bullets, spears of bone, and arrows of bone launched in succession, charging at the enemy.

"Haha, that barely registers as a graze."

In response, the demon made no effort to evade, allowing their strikes to fizzle harmlessly against its enormous frame.

Next, it lifted its talons, swiping viciously in their direction.

A deafening explosion echoed, causing the vast hall to tremble. When the group glanced upward, they saw the Absolute Defense Barrier already displaying clear fissures, with the barrier's surface fading in brightness.

"Apologies, Lord, the enemy's blow is overwhelmingly powerful."

Little Jie's complexion had turned ashen, her slender shoulders quivering.

"This isn't on you; my rashness got us here."

Grinding his teeth, Leo Ray directed the team to pull back. Still, the foe offered no respite, unleashing further swipes and acidic black orbs in quick pursuit, leaving the weakened Absolute Defense Barrier covered in fractures, teetering on total collapse.

In that instant, the entire group sensed entrapment in an endless swamp, where each resistance only hastened their downfall.

Right when despair gripped them, a surprise emerged: following their final assault, the linkage between the foe and the Black Fog had abruptly weakened, its presence even dipping slightly. Although it swiftly recovered, the impact of the strike was undeniable!

"It's Yoyo's Holy Light Bullet!"

The pink-hooded figure's star-filled eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, and Leo Ray, noticing the identical detail, felt his own gaze sharpen with interest.

From the unfolding incidents with Yoyo, her identity as a Stone Spirit proficient in Holy Magic stood evident.

With Holy Magic serving as the natural counter to taboo incantations, particularly those of necromancy, the reasoning fit perfectly!

"However, that was my most potent strike from before!"

Yoyo, panting heavily, addressed the team: "And it failed to halt the enemy even briefly!"

After Yoyo's statement, the pink-hooded figure, Frank, and old Gary, whose hopes had briefly flared, deflated again.

True enough, despite her boosts, Yoyo's strength fell short of influencing the adversary; it was simply impossible.

Still, the gleam in Leo Ray's eyes persisted brightly; after all, Sheila hadn't maximized her support for Yoyo yet, and as another Stone Spirit, Yoyo herself hadn't experienced Power Activation!

Via the advanced Divine Revelation from Sheila, unlocking Yoyo's full potential became possible, regardless of old Gary being her owner!

"Sheila, explain Power Activation to Yoyo."

Without delay, Leo Ray commanded the Stone Spirit cradled in his hold.

Leo Ray knew well that soon after old Gary found Yoyo, the Broken Valley Alliance fell to the witch demons, leaving such profound Divine Revelations undiscovered.

"As you command, master!"

Sheila replied promptly, forging an instant mental connection with Yoyo.

"Power of the Sun, Silver Moon Power, and Power of the Stars... so these represent the core of all strength?"

Yoyo first appeared dazed, then gave a firm nod to Leo Ray: "Human Majesty, kindly lend your aid!"

"The task is yours."

Leo Ray swiftly forged an energy bond with her, and within moments, Yoyo's aura swelled dramatically, her starlit eyes gleaming intensely.

This surge stemmed not only from completing Power Activation; Leo Ray had also ordered Sheila to amplify Yoyo to her peak. Even with the Absolute Defense Barrier nearly crumbling, this pivotal clash decided their fate, leaving no room for restraint.

"Holy Light Bullet - Meteor Shower Fall!"

Yoyo's resounding cry echoed as countless radiant golden orbs materialized around them in an instant, mimicking a genuine meteor cascade, surging toward the foe.

While the golden orbs blazed across, the once shadowy grand hall illuminated brilliantly, mirroring the team's thrilled faces and the demon's astonished arachnid features.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Holy Light Bullets detonated exactly at the juncture of the demon's huge form and the Black Fog, unleashing surges of golden power.

"Ugh!"

Struck by this unforeseen barrage, the unprepared demon emitted a stifled groan, as the formerly solid Black Fog bond snapped apart, its energy plummeting sharply, its Energy Barrier wavering, and its colossal frame appearing unsteady.

"Perfect opening!"

The pink-hooded figure grasped the opportunity, conjuring Space Strangulation right on the enemy's enormous skull, aimed at those rows of crimson eyes.

The remaining allies' long-range assaults trailed behind, tracing brilliant paths at the target.

However, precisely when they thought a ray of hope dawned, an abrupt twist unfolded.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Haughty guffaws burst from the demon's maw; the severed Black Fog reattached in a flash, bolstered by the Black Fog, the demon's presence exploded anew, casually repelling every incoming strike.

"Insignificant pests, no need for sorrow, perish beneath my grasp now!"

As the demon's boastful and malevolent declaration dropped, its eight enormous limbs thrust forward abruptly, assailing the unprepared group.

Boom!

Crash.

Amid the thunderous impact, the shatter of glass resounded; their precarious shield shattered outright, leaving Leo Ray's team utterly vulnerable beneath the enemy's colossal claws.

Immediately after, the demon's twin mandibles carved two deadly arcs, savagely cleaving toward them.

Yet in that very moment, a slender silhouette darted forth, drawing perilously close to the demon's towering shape.
