Arie touches down on top of a massive demonic lizardman's corpse, and the clouds of dark energy all around him begin swirling like a whirlpool toward him.
The concentrated essence still stagnant in the lizard creature's body flows up into his, and the two dozen subordinates filled with puncture holes from his arrows leak out refined Qi that swirls in this whirlpool, flowing into his palms.
The purple aura around Arie grows even brighter, tinting closer to white, and his senses grow sharper.
The fluctuation in the air behind him triggers his senses even before the next black portal forms.
He turns his head to spot a group of fallen 1st and 2nd-class berserker giants, grins, and jumps off the air, leaving purple fluctuations in his wake.
An even brighter purple streak appears in the air as the human is already halfway toward his next target by the time the Lich's yellow arrow emerges from its portal.
A series of zigzags across a massive, desolate region of land makes the area glow bright with purple light, and every turn is followed by massive yellow explosions, destroying the remains of drained corpses.
The Demonic Lich attempts to follow his movements, but without its noble vibrations slowing him down, Arie is able to outpace the monster with ease. Without activating any of his buffs and channeling all of this new power into his movement, Arie only becomes faster and harder to track.
His aura becomes brighter and brighter, glowing primarily white with a faint purple mist around it by the time every one of the beasts he killed earlier in this region is either drained into his core or obliterated by the Lich's arrows.
Instead of turning to face the Demonic Archer, Arie sets his sights on another region even closer to the throne, with just as many demonic beasts still roaming the lands.
His senses pick up a very dangerous cold aura off in the distance, somehow even more intense than the Lich.
This is the tower itself...
While many beasts still roam around it, none dare to walk near it. There is a dead zone of land all around the black tower.
So, between this tower and the moat that the generals and kings made upon their first interactions circling the globe, there is a doughnut-shaped area of land remaining with demonic beasts left on it. Arie's raining arrows only took out 5% of this land at most, and with the bright red explosions emerging at the sides of his vision from Raven and the Berserker's battle, Arie wants to take advantage of as much of this fresh ether as he can.
The human archer zips off toward a new region and summons a suppressed form of his 3rd Ranked-up buff to summon about 400 arrows in the milliseconds he has free before he has to dodge again.
His demonic spirit arms that form are still as dark as the night, but streaming from his back, within the energy forms, it looks like there are bright white veins running through them.
The arrows he releases into the air are much brighter white as well, with the concentrated essence fueling them now overpowering the divine threads at their core.
Purple mist still surrounds them, leaving trails through the dark demonic clouds as he lets them fly, arching upward and spreading out, killing hundreds of the strongest demonic beasts across an entire 2,000-kilometer-wide region.
—
Raven sees bright arrows flying through the air like guided missiles but must concentrate on her own problems.
Her blood-bonded blades have fractured from blocking the Berserker's last attack...
While this is a problem, showing that her weapons are not as strong as the Soul Swords this beast wields, the real problem is that she was hit through her divine stealth veil.
