Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

He Meng released strong wind magic to the right side, altering Bai Jin’s flight path and avoiding the black-purple crescent-shaped slash.

Black electricity sparked around her, seemingly trying to suck her in.

By deploying a small magic shield, Bai Jin successfully negated the attraction of the black electricity.

After flying for a long time, Bai Jin still hadn’t reached the barrier’s edge. Ahead, the night seemed endless, as if the entire world had truly fallen into darkness.

But Bai Jin believed that the barrier used by Count Blood surely had a flaw, and there was a reachable boundary.

Aslit’s slash unintentionally provided Bai Jin with the answer.

The crescent-shaped slash didn’t stop just because it missed Bai Jin; it continued forward, turning into a point in front of Bai Jin, then ruthlessly slashing open the darkness with a loud noise.

A beam of light, incompatible with the darkness, pierced through the night and illuminated the tremulous sea, creating a dazzling light spot.

Indeed, Yang Yu was right; the barrier set by Count Blood has its boundaries.

Beyond the boundary, the sun shines brightly.

Even if it’s not sunny, I must make it sunny.

Sunlight is a favorable weapon against Count Blood. As long as Count Blood is bathed in sunlight, the scales of victory will tip towards them, giving them a chance to strategize against Count Blood.

However, to spread sunlight over the entire sea and let Count Blood be illuminated is no easy task.

The light spot projected onto the sea shrank smaller and smaller until it completely vanished.

The light that was incompatible with the darkness entirely disappeared from this sea.

Dark magic possesses a powerful destructive ability, as seen with Aslit’s strong attack that can only open a small break in the Eternal Night Barrier, showing how difficult it would be to break the barrier entirely.

Yang Yu is holding off Count Blood, who grows stronger in the dark.

Yang Yu and his allies must be tense while fighting Count Blood; the longer they take, the greater the danger they face.

We absolutely cannot waste too much time.

Saying is one thing, but Aslit is unrelentingly pursuing Bai Jin.

Even though Aslit’s attack allowed Bai Jin to learn about the barrier’s location early, amidst Aslit and the Enchanting Demon’s attacks, Bai Jin could not focus on breaking the barrier and could only flee desperately.

Is there a way to escape from Aslit’s attacks?

Bai Jin turned to observe Aslit’s movements, ready to defend at any moment. At this time, she noticed He Meng, transformed into a swift bird flying toward Aslit, as well as the damaged warship sailing on the sea, and Kula Doreen stepping onto the ocean surface.

If Yang Yu thought of using sunlight, then the others should not be aware of it.

Perhaps He Meng was coming to help her hold off Aslit.

Recognizing this, the navigation magic happened to detect the barrier’s location, Bai Jin grasped her magic wand, changed her flight direction, and flew close to the direction He Meng approached, circling the detected edge of the barrier.

Bai Jin lacked Iyas’s excellent vision; she couldn’t know He Meng’s plan but trusted their tacit understanding.

Bai Jin’s movement direction also aligned with some of the Enchanting Demon’s encirclement directions, causing them to accelerate instantly.

Aslit had just seen the beam projected onto the sea, but she didn’t think much of it. She only thought Bai Jin detected the barrier’s edge and changed her route to avoid crashing into it.

Bai Jin changed her route, which was good, as Aslit was having trouble catching up to Bai Jin.

Bai Jin’s flight speed was slightly faster than Aslit’s; only when using acceleration skills could Aslit barely catch up to Bai Jin to attack.

Now that Bai Jin was forced to turn, there was no better opportunity to catch her easily than now.

When catching her, this time, she must kill her thoroughly, ending this farce.

Even focused on Bai Jin, Aslit’s instincts drove her to allocate some attention to observing her surroundings.

A peculiar, incredibly fast swift appeared within Aslit’s senses.

This swift’s actions were so unusual that Aslit immediately realized it was an enemy attacking her.

”Spiritual body? Or...”

Aslit recalled the slime that transformed into a giant eagle in the sky; if it weren’t for that slime, the enchanting demon flying toward Bai Jin should have stopped her from casting that magic... without that old man stopping her, she surely could have taken her down!

Aslit ground her teeth, secretly vowed never to repeat her mistakes, not only to kill this little girl in front of her but also to kill everyone associated with her and who caused her failure.

He Meng, transformed into the swift, approached, and Aslit took a deep breath, sheathed the long knife, rotated it ninety degrees,

”[Broken Wind Style. Secret Technique. Formless]”

An invisible sword Qi swiftly flew out from Aslit’s blade, blasting toward He Meng.

This was not over yet; Aslit squinted, causing He Meng, transformed into the swift, to slow down slightly. Then, black electricity surged on Aslit, releasing three rings from the sword hilt.

As long as these three rings hit, they could firmly lock He Meng, making her immobile in mid-air, vulnerable to being slaughtered.

These three rings could be broken by magic and sword blades, but Aslit did not believe He Meng had the means to shatter the binding skills she released.

In fact, He Meng truly had no way to shatter these three rings, but she didn’t need to break the rings.

He Meng flapped her wings, like a real swift... no, He Meng was even swifter than a swift.

He Meng had already memorized all the knowledge needed for flying, and a real swift might not know more about flying than she did.

Feeling the strong wind facing her, He Meng flipped her body unbelievably and passed between two invisible wind blades.

Facing closing rings, He Meng folded her wings with lightning speed, darting out of the rings before they shrank.

A series of moves by He Meng left Aslit dumbfounded; she was infuriated:

”Just a mere slime! How can you achieve such a level! Are you a genius among slimes too? Were you destined to be a special slime from birth?”

Aslit roared, swinging her blade at He Meng again, but two [Frost Ice Arrows] accurately wedged in front of her long knife, slightly slowing her blade swing.

In truth, if it were Aslit under typical circumstances, she could dodge those two Frost Ice Arrows, but her body turned sluggish because of the constant use of dark magic, and her mind was unsettled.

After achieving her goal of defeating Qiuye, did she truly find a new direction? By defeating Qiuye in such a manner, borrowing others’ power to defeat Qiuye, does she truly accept this in her heart?

At least Aslit herself believed she did.

But did she truly accept it?
