In an instant, the Resentful Demon burst out of the tunnel, hovering in midair above the waiting area.
His Damaged Cape fluttered wildly.
The green worm, Gulu Lugu, huddled in his embrace, emitted a firm and steady green glow that illuminated the expressionless Ash below, Chu Yin who was on high alert, and Wu Mu lying on the ground, his forehead beaded with sweat.
Without any further words, the Resentful Demon dove straight down. His jagged White Bone Palm ignited with a ghostly blue flame as he reached for Ash's crown.
The attack was incredibly fast. Ash dared not use the heavy sniper rifle, as its power was matched by its immense energy drain.
Instead, he rolled clumsily to the side.
The Resentful Demon's claw strike, which had seemed certain to connect, merely grazed Ash's scalp. Upon contact, the demon suddenly felt his hand slip, allowing Ash to wriggle free from his grasp.
