When Qin Ruo’s attention was drawn away by Black Widow, Bandit Leader the Aeromancer had used Flight to swiftly close the distance between himself and Qin Ruo (the maximum height for Flight was thirty meters). It was incidentally a range outside of Qin Ruo’s Elemental Perception, and Bandit Leader’s Tier 5 AoE offensive spell Windstorm Annihilation was at once effective.
The powerful stream of vortex shot down the defenseless Qin Ruo from the skies above!
“Good job!”
The men within the Monster Mountains below them were at once thrilled, each of them quickly animating their Combat Auras or Berserk state. Myriad light clusters blocked the powerful effect from the Tier 5 AoE spell as they anxiously looked above at Qin Ruo, who was falling rapidly from the skies while they charged their powerful skills!
Dozens of men were encircling the spot directly beneath Qin Ruo where he would fall, rubbing their palms as they prepared. It was as if they were witnessing Death Jesus’s tragedy once again, although this time the actor was the Winter Demon of the Angel Faction……
However, as the Winter Demon who had his Angelic Wings plucked fell from the skies above Monster Mountains, he suddenly and mysteriously vanished right before everyone’s eyes.
No!
Only the trio Bandit Leader, Heartless, and Mobile Cop saw with their eyes as Qin Ruo changed in the air. As he descended, Qin Ruo’s panic only lasted a second after his Angelic Wings had been severed. His body had rapidly turned transparent in the air and beneath the pale moonlight, it expanded. Two objects akin to thin membranes shot out from both sides of his body and extended just like wings, quickly stopping his rapid descent!
In that moment, his body had barely reached the treetops of the Monster Mountains. His Aquamorph completely activated, two wings were conjured, gliding the wind force as he slipped into the shadows of the woods, vanishing at once from the sights of dozens of Demon Faction players below him!
A beast-like ability to adapt was displayed with such absoluteness that three Tier 5 champions who saw the entire process were left trembling inwardly…… especially Bandit Leader who was in Flight!
When the Aeromancer distinctly felt the descending figure extended the unusual thin membranes, it was gliding swift down towards himself……
“Careful!”
Both Heartless and Mobile Cop sensed at once that something was not right, and yelled from below in warning!
However, it was not in time—cold and dismal golden rays streak across the skies of Monster Mountains just like short range sparks, crashing into Bandit Leader’s barrier……
Shadow Razor!
In the very next second, a powerful magic similar to Windstorm Annihilation arose once more!
As if a powerful stream of frost surging from the South Pole, every Demon Faction player within a hundred meters were promptly engulfed while every plant in that range were frozen into beautiful ice sculptures! Everything was buried in complete disorder after the Annihilation Windstorm in a sheet of snow whitness!
When Frost Realm exploded, dozens of Demon Faction bandits, archers, and warriors at the center of the AoE spell had their HP drained within the aesthetic sight.
Some of the warriors with higher HP values were no better. Though several survived from the terrible magic by luck, each were rendered immobile as Frozen Realm’s effect activated.
Even so, the Elementalists fared a little better. Although their defensive shields were thoroughly shattered and their barriers barely standing, they still managed to stay alive and were not at the mercy of others.
Naturally, those who had no barrier protection were worse off!
After Poochie had magically penetrated the double defensive magic outside the body of Bandit Leader the Aeromancer, he was frozen at once to death by the burst of Tier 5 spell in the air, falling down as an ice statue from high above and shattering upon landing.
“Damn it!”
Although Heartless and Mobile Cop’s defensive shields were not shattered by Qin Ruo’s counterattack when he was cornered, not much was left of their Endurance either, just as a good portion of their Barrier Endurance was lost. Moreover, even as they cursed, any sign of Qin Ruo was lost from their perception range—when Qin Ruo had glided onto a huge tree branch (Poochie magically penetrating Bandit Leader’s barrier), the AoE spell was unleashed, the chaotic cascade of water elements instantly ruining their perception.
It was precisely in that instant of blunder that both Qin Ruo and Poochie vanished from their sights……

High above, Black Widow’s face paled.
She never expected that Qin Ruo would be so tenacious. Even if he fell from hundreds of meters above per her machinations, he had actually come up with an idea to adapt, turn around and deal a severe counter attack!
One stroke, and Satan’s Salvation forces were decimated by twenty elite forces…… including one Tier 5 Aeromancer in her own party!
A terrible panic rose in her heart when the system notification rang. She felt as if she, the hunter had become the hunted!
***
Liquid Form!
Qin Ruo had quickly activated the additional special effect of his Chaos Frost Boots right after unleashing Frozen Realm, lowering himself to the ground. Before the remaining two Tier 5 Elementalists could reactivate their Elemental Perception, he hastily moved away from the range of their senses. Though the dozen of Elementalists and Warriors were in danger and would be finished if he simply threw out an AoE Magic Scroll, Qin Ruo was reluctant to risk his life. After all, there were tow more Tier 5 champions beneath him while he had not activated any defensive spell, having only negative spells at his disposal.
But there was hope as long as he was alive!
After he escaped, Qin Ruo only needed four seconds to reactivate Frostbarrier and Darkfrost Shield, and seizing the chance as those men had not canceled Combat Status, he extended his Angelic wings once more……
Whoosh!
With the soft flap of wings, his legs left the ground.
Learning from his previous experience, Qin Ruo did not fly too high and simply weaved across the forest while strictly controlling his altitude. He was virtually kissing the ground as he flew, and he rapidly approached the battlefield where frost lingered in the air!
“Quick! Retreat!”
Heartless and Mobile Cop’s expression changed drastically when they saw Qin Ruo’s return. In a brief few seconds, they were left puzzled over where the Aquamancer had actually gone and did not dispel their broken barriers and defensive shields. If they were to engage Qin Ruo directly now, both of them would not be a worthy foe for the Winter Demon even if they did their best, not to mention those people behind them……
The Warriors had just been freed from their Chilled state, their HP yet to have recovered. As for Elementalists, while they had restarted their dual defenses, Tier 4 Elementalist offensive were no threat against Qin Ruo’s full set of Legendary equipment!
***
It was precisely because Qin Ruo knew, which led to him hurrying back and pursued the Demon Faction players. There was no meaning to killing just one Tier 5 Champion—his level would not drop, his equipment would simply be retrieved by the others.
Indeed, it was no loss for them at all. It was only by getting rid of the remaining two man, seizing their equipment could he get Black Widow to realize the price of her relentless pursuit…… so that she would retreat!
As Heartless and Mobile Cop screamed to warn away, all of the Tier 4 Demon Faction Elites were at once startled and turned to run. Then, with a solemn expression, Heartless drew out a Tier 5 AoE Attack Magic Scroll, leveling it at Qin Ruo as he charged towards them!
“Fighting fire with fire?”
Qin Ruo quickly sensed the duo’s plan and laughed coldly inside. “As you wish!”
Three Compressed Frost Bullets shot out as if a bolt right before they collided, two blasting towards Heartless and one at Mobile Cop.
***
“The man wants to die!”
Qin Ruo’s recklessly pitting himself alone against both Heartless and Mobile Cop had left them cursing inside. All of them were novice Tier 5 Champions, and yet he was still acting so arrogantly when they were using a Tier 5 AoE Attack Magic Scroll……
One multi-spell, attacking them at once!
‘Really, who does he think he is?!’
Two Tier 5 AoE offensive spells were sufficient to pulverize his defensive shield and barrier, dealing tremendous damage…… Was a multi-lock spell able to change the tide?
What a pity! Those two, after all, were from the Demon Faction. They did not understand the Winter Demon—the man on the rise in the Angel Faction—enough.
If they knew the special offensive attribute of the Compressed Frost Bullet, they would definitely have not used two AoE magic to attack Qin Ruo……
If Black Widow were here, or was watching their clash, she definitely would not have allowed them to commit such inferior error.
Even if Tier 5 AoE attack magic had severed Qin Ruo’s Angelic Wings, destroyed his perception, just as the Infernal Sea could cause a blinding effect and seal the victory, the prerequisite was that they did not die, and that their barriers were still standing.
In no time at all, the two AoE offensive Magic Scrolls was opened virtually the same time that the Compressed Frost Bullets struck them……
The tides changed instantly!
The Rubik’s Cube of Death had been opened!
***
In the skies above Monster Mountains, Black Widow stared fretfully at the pair of Angelic Wings that rapidly collided at Heartless and Mobile Cop!
Thud!
A dull crash, striking right into Black Widow’s heart through the air.
It was as if a great calamity had struck the Monster Mountains, something that was rarely seen in a hundred years!
Two profound magical power overlapped……
A fiery light exploded into the skies from the ground!
Absolute gravity compressed!
A magical fluctuation that was universally astonishing was birthed! All trees within thirty meters were burnt instantly into powder, compressed into shards and incinerated thoroughly……
The majestic shockwave extended to trees over a hundred meters away as well, each reduced into ash and an entire ring missing from the tree trunk. The Demon Faction players that had not run too far away also felt difficulty in breathing, unable to move forward while feeling the terrible sensation of being baked in the searing heat.
It was hard to imagine that anyone would survive such destructive AoE magic!
And yet, the combat status feedback left Black Widow’s face ash-white, her posture unstable even with the protection of Demonic Wings……
