Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1006 - 108: Your Operations Are Worthless
A purple beam shot out from Bai Jin's hand, landing directly on Aslit.
[Weapon Corrosion] can reduce the target's attack power by 10% and decrease the weapon's additional attack by 50%.
Weakening Aslit's attack can buy more time.
Noticing the decrease in strength, Aslit realized Bai Jin's intention, and a strange shadow danced behind her, merging into her body.
[Magic Shield] can indeed withstand attacks for a long time, but each blocked attack consumes a large amount of the user's magic power, turning the user into a fixed target.
Using [Ghost Dance], Aslit's attack power and speed suddenly increased, with each attack adding armor penetration, drastically increasing her output.
Don't you want the shield to last longer?
I'm going to shatter this illusion right now!
Exhaust your last bit of magic power, rendering you unable to cast magic, like a fish on my knife.
Unadorned slashes continuously bombarded the blue shield, and Aslit's sharp blade brought forth streaks of magic light.
Bai Jin held her breath, unaffected by the "bam bam" sound, placing the Magic Wand Sigh Seed in front of her.
A trick magic array spread out from beneath Bai Jin's feet, slowing Aslit's newly increased speed under the influence of [Ghost Shadow Formation].
Countless tiny black dots, like bamboo shoots after rain, appeared within the magic array, transforming into black fishes, swimming around.
Without any warning, these black fishes leaped from the magic array, transforming into clawed little demons, pouncing on Aslit from all directions.
These little demons were very fast, with red claws like scissors, capable of easily cutting through an ordinary person's skin.
But Aslit was faster.
Taking a deep breath, Aslit sheathed her long knife, her eyes scanning around to capture the position of every little demon.
"[Wind-breaking Style. Secret Technique. Formless]"
Draw the blade, sheath the blade.
Everything was too fast to see clearly.
The pouncing little demons turned to fragments under Aslit's invisible slashes.
[Ghost Shadow Formation] can continuously create little demons as long as there is magic power.
But Bai Jin did not choose to continue creating little demons for a meaningless attack; she only used the wave of little demons that came with the Ghost Shadow Formation.
If defense is needed, converting magic power into a shield with [Magic Shield] is more cost-effective.
While Aslit dealt with the little demons, a blue-white light danced in Bai Jin's palm.
With a forward point, the blue-white magic power shot out from Bai Jin's hand.
Lightly moving her steps, Aslit intended to avoid this blue-white light.
However, the blue-white light curved mid-air into a banana-shaped arc, heading in the direction Aslit tried to evade.
"[Avoidance Acceleration]"
Seeing no way to avoid, Aslit used a skill to dodge.
[Avoidance Acceleration] allows the user to slide in a given direction for quick avoidance and provides a short acceleration effect after dodging.
Yet, what Aslit didn't expect was that the blue-white beam was just a decoy.
Bai Jin also exploited Aslit's habit when using [Avoidance Acceleration]!
The direction Aslit moved was precisely the spot where Bai Jin used [High-speed Circuit] to leave.
And that spot had a magic power mark left by Bai Jin.
Tico knew how to make traps with magic power, and Bai Jin learned some things from her.
Mages can manipulate magic power that detaches from themselves within a certain range; the purer the remaining magic, the easier it is to manipulate.
Bai Jin was not far from the magic mark she left and could manipulate magic to construct spells, releasing the skills she wanted.
Though the remaining magic was not abundant enough for a powerful attack spell, it was more than sufficient to cast a control spell.
A pure white beam shot up from the ground, and Aslit, trying to dodge, was already too late as the white light swept over her elbow, about to consume her entirely.
At the critical moment, Aslit managed to draw back her feet with all her strength, shifting her body away from the white beam, using a single hand on the knife as a pivot point to leap aside, avoiding the white beam.
The white light only touched Aslit's right elbow, instantly forming an ice crystal that restricted her movement.
The magic used by Bai Jin was [Ice Freeze Technique], capable of putting enemies into a frozen status, making the target's body stiff and movements flawed.
With the plan smoothly executed, Bai Jin showed no sign of joy. Her actions required no hesitation; even a moment's indecision could waste the hard-won attack opportunity.
Raising the magic wand, the pure white magic array blew one snowstorm after another mixed with multiple Frost Ice Arrows.
Aslit, having just used [Avoidance Acceleration] and hit by the Ice Freeze Technique, could not completely dodge Bai Jin's [Ice Cone Skill] and [Frost Ice Arrow] in time.
The tiny snowflakes froze half of Aslit's body, and the Frost Ice Arrows struck her body, cutting off half her blood volume.
"Quite impressive. I'm going to get serious now. Let me show you the power I obtained from that master."
Black currents, like runaway sparkles, surged at Aslit's frozen elbow, turning the ice crystals there into white smoke with the black current.
Black current burst from Aslit's feet as well. She wasn't bound by the Ghost Shadow Formation and Ice Cone Skill but broke free from the shackles of these two skills.
A golden wind swept over her sword blade, imbuing it with an aura of destruction.
The golden blade struck Bai Jin's shield at an incredible speed, and with a "clang," the collision resounded throughout the entire arena.
Everyone held their breath for Bai Jin, fearing her magic shield had shattered under Aslit's attack.
However, Bai Jin's [Magic Shield] remained as steady as a mountain, without a trace of breaking.
Yang Yu furrowed his brows. Although Bai Jin's shield was not broken, she lost a third of her magic power because of Aslit's strike, leaving Bai Jin with less than 45% of her magic power.
After this attack, Aslit quickly withdrew her blade from the collision and launched another fierce assault on Bai Jin's shield, her mana rapidly depleting at a visible rate.
If no countermeasures were devised, in another minute or so, Bai Jin would lose the protection of her shield.
By then, Bai Jin would be unable to withstand Aslit's continuous attacks and would be knocked out of the arena.
Is this the hidden strength of Aslit?
If Qiuye and Aslit had a good fight, Yang Yu might have been able to see Aslit's hidden strength in advance and devise countermeasures.
But in reality, there are no "ifs."
