Having been observing the battle, Sylvie finally breathed a sigh of relief. The demons' initial javelin barrage didn't cause the same fatal damage as last time. With the help of the Sleeping Island witches, the bone spears were either blocked or mysteriously lost their accuracy, with only one hitting a heavy machine gun, the flying debris silencing that team temporarily. However, such injuries could be fully restored by Nana once the battle was over.

The Mad Demons would have to wait for their arms to recover before launching the next attack, but the First Army wouldn't stop firing. The longer the demons stayed within this range, the higher their chances of being shot down. The victory was basically sealed!

The enemy seemed to realize this as well. With a signal, the un-shot down Terror Beasts turned around and began to flee west at full speed.

Unlike the dazzling offensive formation, the trajectory of the fleeing opponents was much clearer. During this process, another Terror Beast had its wing broken and crashed crookedly into the Misty Forest.

At this point, the enemy had only five flying demons left—only three of which carried Mad Demons!

Sylvie transmitted this information to the last ambushers via the Listening Sigil.

And they would be the period at the end of the entire operation.

"Lightning receiving," a familiar voice came from the other end of the sigil, "Leave it to me, please enjoy the performance of the great explorer!"

"Be careful..." Before she could finish speaking, she already heard the whistling of the wind.

It was a signal of a dive from the sky, and also a harbinger of the descent of death!

The demons controlling the Terror Beasts could never have imagined that someone would launch an attack from above their heads—attacking opponents from the air was their innate advantage, but this time, facing the witches from the clouds, their advantage no longer existed.

Lightning quickly increased her speed to the limit that her goggles could withstand.

One hundred and twenty kilometers per hour!

Almost twice as fast as Maggie in her Terror Beast form.

If she went any faster, the violent airflow would likely flip her goggles right off.

And what she had to do was no different from when she bombed the King's City.

Adjust direction and throw the "zhàdàn" at the flying demons.

But this time, the "zhàdàn" she carried was Ashes.

The addition of the Transcendent was a temporary decision—since Ashes could only move when controlling the flying magic stone below, she couldn't fight alone, and it would be a pity to leave her on the ground, so they simply had the little girl take her along. This operation turned out to be surprisingly smooth. Ashes, who could float independently in the air, didn't burden Lightning in any way, and the Transcendent's excellent physical fitness also allowed her to remain unaffected by the high-speed flight.

Penetrating the thick clouds, the scene before them suddenly opened up.

And the five demons Sylvie indicated also came into view.

Until this moment, they still hadn't noticed the abnormality above their heads.

Lightning threw Ashes at one of the demons with all her might!

The latter drew her long sword and rushed towards the target's mask.

Hearing the whistling sound of the blade cutting through the air, the demon finally reacted, but it was too late—it swelled its arm, raised its bone spear horizontally, and tried to resist the witch's attack, but under Ashes' unstoppable slash, the long sword not only broke through the spear shaft, but also went all the way down along that direction, splitting the helmet, head, and torso in two. The last impression remaining in its vision was the Transcendent's golden pupils.

The remaining demons screamed. They pulled away to the left and right, and raised their bone spears at the same time, their posture showing no regard for the ownerless Terror Beast. However, at this time, a spine-chilling roar attracted their attention.

"Awoo——————Awoo——————!"

Maggie, transformed into a giant Terror Beast, finally rushed out of the clouds and swooped down towards the demons.

Compared to the incredibly powerful Ashes, the enemy ultimately focused on the larger Maggie—this couldn't be a real Terror Beast, because there was clearly a witch riding on her back!

Two spears were released, two shadowy figures shot towards Maggie.

But the next second, the Terror Beast disappeared without a trace, and the two javelins completely missed, not even touching the target's fur. In the original location of the Terror Beast, only a triumphant white dove remained.

"Coo!"

In this split second, Nightingale had landed in front of the enemy.

The bizarre characteristics of the Misty World limited her movements in the air, so she couldn't be as elusive as she was on the ground, but when she was only a "blink" away from the enemy, the outcome was already sealed.

After that, Nightingale became the master of the battlefield.

Without God's Punishment Stones, the demons couldn't even see where the enemy was, but the narrow back of the Terror Beast was as open as a square for Nightingale.

While shooting the demons with her revolver, she didn't forget to pull the reins and control her mount to fly towards another Terror Beast that had already fallen into a daze. The only remaining Mad Demon made a final struggle. Ignoring the consequences of his paralyzed arm, he continuously threw two bone spears at Nightingale—the magic stone shining with blue light not only drained his magic power, but also made half of his body look like a withered tree.

However, Nightingale didn't even make a dodging motion. She directly turned the black and white world upside down, making the sky the ground, and then stood on the belly of the Terror Beast, letting the latter take all the attacks.

Not only that, but the surging mist also made the man and beast disappear. In this unexpected situation, the two Terror Beasts suddenly collided.

The mist instantly enveloped them.

This was a world that the demons had never set foot in. The distorted things and light and shadow made it forget to fight back for a moment. By the time it came back to its senses, the thin, silver-like contour lines had already rolled up like waves, pressing down on it overwhelmingly.

When the enemy appeared again, both the flying Terror Beast and the Mad Demon had turned into scattered pieces of meat.

Maggie transformed back into a giant beast and easily caught the falling Nightingale, while on the other side, Ashes, who had solved her mount, was also pushed over by Lightning.

"Two-one, I won," Nightingale made a two-finger gesture to the Transcendent witch.

Ashes shrugged, noncommittal.

After the four landed safely, Lightning took out the Listening Sigil from her satchel, "Sylvie, can you still find the other two escaping Terror Beasts?"

There was a short silence on the other end, "Um, I see them, to your northeast, about five li away."

"Great, please help me guide the direction later."

"Are you going alone?"

"And Maggie. Don't worry," Lightning patted her chest, "They are just two wild beasts without owners."

"They won't be able to escape, coo!" Maggie turned back into a pigeon, flew to the top of the little girl's head, and raised her head.

"Watch out for those gas tanks filled with red mist, don't get stuck," Nightingale instructed.

"If you encounter new enemies, remember to retreat immediately," Ashes also added.

"Understood, leave everything to the explorer!" Lightning shook her thumb, then took off with Maggie, chasing in the direction the enemies were fleeing.
