Adela, completely immersed in the situation ahead, was utterly unaware.
Before Lis could call out a warning, the lurking blood shadow suddenly erupted, expanding like a crimson curtain stretched to its limit.
With a ferocious aura intent on devouring everything, it engulfed the unprepared Adela, aiming to swallow her into the Abyss.
In the nick of time, Lis transformed into a stream of near-instantaneous light, blocking Adela's side in a flash.
In his hand, radiance surged, and countless slashing strikes enveloped in Divine Power slashed through the air, densely bombarding the expanding blood shadow.
Piercing tearing sounds echoed continuously, and the ferociously approaching blood shadow was forcibly cut into countless pieces.
After being severely wounded, it retreated in disarray, finally re-forming into a hideous, small-bodied blood demon near a few Abyss Demigods.
Its scarlet eyes were filled with venomous hatred, fixed intently on Lis and Adela.
