Just then, the person floating in mid-air let out a cackling laugh.
"Your Highness, leave these two to me!"
The speaker was named Bode, and he had a nickname: the Stormbringer. His ability was to control wind. In essence, his ability was similar to that of Zerienkov, but he hadn't mastered Zerienkov's ability to compress air and then unleash it.
However, his utilization of wind was more ingenious. He could use the air to form wings, allowing him to fly into the sky, and then from the air, attack his opponents with the crossbow bolts in his hand.
Bode also imbued his crossbow bolts with his wind ability, greatly increasing their power and range. He could even subtly alter the trajectory of the bolts, enabling them to track opponents.
"Bode, you bird-brained coward, always hiding in the sky and shooting from afar! To deal with this pair of dogs, it's I who must act!"
As she spoke, a Black woman emerged from the crowd. Upon seeing her, Ling Tian almost burst out laughing. This Black woman was less than 1.6 meters tall, but her weight exceeded 400 jin. She was like a sentient water vat.
Looking at her face, it was extremely ugly, adorned with heavy makeup. Layers of powder were flaking off, and her hair was dyed a mucky yellow.
What made it even more absurd to Ling Tian was that she was wearing a Spider-Man-like bodysuit, just without the mask.
Ling Tian truly didn't know what words to use to describe this woman. He felt his literary knowledge was incredibly deficient at this moment.
If Ali were here, she would surely loudly question what kind of demon this was.
"Kardashian, then let's have a competition. You big, fat woman who only talks big!"
"Bitch, you wait! Bode, you bird-brain, once I'm done with this pair of dogs, I'll deal with you properly! I'll 'cherish' you dearly!"
Seeing the lewd expression on Kardashian's face, Bode, flying in the sky, almost tumbled down.
This obese woman named Kardashian was also an ability user. Her ability was spider webs.
Her ability was similar to Spider-Man in the movies. She could shoot out spider webs, but instead of from her hands, this woman shot them from her mouth.
Moreover, like a spider, her body possessed several times the strength of an ordinary person. Once a target was ensnared by her spider webs, escaping would be harder than climbing to heaven.
Even more preposterous was that this woman was a rare metal-constitution ability user. This special physique made her spider silk incredibly tough, like steel wire. Ordinary swords and blades could hardly cut through the webs, and even fire would take considerable effort to burn them.
Originally, this woman named Kardashian was an escort in a pleasure house. Later, she awakened her abilities and was recruited into the Dark Temple by Bice. This woman wasn't this obese originally. It was because shooting spider webs consumed a large amount of protein and nutrients from her body that she ate so much to have the strength to spit silk and weave webs.
Kardashian and Bode naturally didn't get along. They couldn't stand each other and would even bicker loudly in front of Bice and their formidable enemies.
"What are you arguing about? These two are very dangerous. I demand you give your full attention and take them seriously!"
Bice was somewhat annoyed. Her subordinates were too undisciplined, arguing in front of a monster like Ling Tian was a sure way to court death.
Bice's words immediately silenced the two on the ground and in the air.
"You two go argue elsewhere. Leave these two to me. Heh heh..." A strange laugh echoed. Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound. There stood a man, an Indian.
He wore traditional Indian attire, a turban on his head, and sandals with exposed toes.
Behind this man stood two tigers, two lions, and two jaguars.
These six fierce beasts stood beside the man, appearing very docile, like six obedient pets!
This man was named Sharokhan, from India. His ability was to control beasts.
Ling Tian had previously dealt with an Indian woman with beast-taming skills on Hell Paradise Island, but that woman's control over beasts was far inferior to the current Sharokhan.
Sharokhan could control multiple beasts simultaneously, and he could use his mental power to control these beasts, making them possess higher intelligence and be more cunning in battle.
Seeing the group eager to fight, Ling Tian subtly signaled Aurora to retreat. Then, he placed his hands behind his back. A magic core bomb the size of a cantaloupe appeared in his hand.
Ling Tian directly twisted off the safety, pressed the button on the bomb, and threw a magic core bomb.
In a flash, a sphere flew towards the crowd, heading in Bice's direction. However, at that moment, a woman beside Bice muttered something, and a ripple the size of a washbasin suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Ling Tian's magic core bomb flew directly into the ripple and then vanished.
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment. He was all too familiar with this move. The ripple, invisible to ordinary people, was something Ling Tian clearly understood. It was the entrance to a spatial portal.
He looked at the woman beside Bice. This woman was also Black, but she was clearly of pure African descent.
Her attire was peculiar. Several golden rings were worn around her neck, making her neck appear very long.
Her face was painted with various strange patterns using different pigments.
It was this woman who had just cast a space-type spell, opening a spatial portal and swallowing Ling Tian's magic core bomb.
This woman was named Kuchiyama. Bice discovered her in Africa while searching for materials to create life essence.
She had annihilated a native tribe there. In a corner of that tribe, Bice found Kuchiyama. Kuchiyama was a captive of that tribe at the time and was about to be killed.
Bice initially intended to use this woman as material for life essence but discovered that she possessed characteristics of an ability user. Thus, Bice brought the woman to the United States.
Under Bice's meticulous training, Kuchiyama displayed her special spatial-attribute abilities.
