With the help of the anti-shadow gun, Ye Zi might be able to fight with the cautious Orva, but she was very exhausted under the siege of the other two swordsmen and crossbowmen. She knew in her heart that the opponent's killing move had not yet been launched, and there were two other demon assassins hiding in the darkness, so she had to be extremely alert to their sudden appearance.
She understood that these people did not want to take her life, and if she fought to the death, she would probably be defeated.
Suddenly she noticed that the high-level assassin in front of her became a little slow, as if he was shocked by what was happening. The two people around him also became absent-minded.
"That woman is a birdman! Damn it, Lord Orva, we can't dawdle here any longer, we must subdue this woman quickly. Look there!" the assassin holding the crossbow shouted.
"Birdman?" Orva looked up. "War Angel? Damn, how could these annoying guys be involved? Does anyone know her? Who is she?"
"The one holding two swords should be Metatron. She is holding the swords of Judgment and Protection." said the assassin before.
"What realm is she in?"
"Maybe they are high-level, maybe they are masters... But all the battle angels practice both magic and martial arts, and they also inherit divine weapons. Their strength cannot be judged by their realm..."
While the assassin with the crossbow was talking, Ye Zi took Orva's fierce attack, flew a few meters away, turned around and stabbed the man's throat.
However, she forced her way through, revealing a flaw, and was stabbed by a demon assassin who emerged from invisibility, leaving a two-inch long wound on her arm. If it weren't for the shield provided by the Anti-Shadow Gun that reduced the damage, the knife would have been enough to injure her muscles, leaving her right hand unable to fight again.
Ye Zi turned over and stood firm, blocking Orva's attack with a trickle, and then counterattacked to force him back a few steps, and then looked at Mei and Javier with the corner of his eye. Javier was wrapped in a barrier, jumping up and down to cheer her up. Maybe in his opinion, he was quite powerful against five people alone
But Mei's appearance at this time surprised her a little. She was already floating in the air, with dozens of wings made of floating light bands extending from her back. Her figure was elegant and noble, just like an angel in movies and games. She used the two swords in her hands as pens, drawing complex arcs in the air, casting magic.
This kind of support from the air was difficult to dodge or counterattack, no wonder the enemy was confused by her appearance.
"Don't hold back, kill this woman." Orva said decisively.
However, it was a little too late to say this. Metatron in the sky had already released his magic. Orva and the others felt their bodies sink, and their speed suddenly slowed down, followed by a feeling of weakness that surged into their limbs.
Ye Zi knew that it was Mei who was controlling the rhythm of the battle. When she reached her limit, she would slightly reduce the enemy's strength.
Suddenly, she heard two footsteps on the left side where no one was, as if someone was hit by a spell while running and jumping, and staggered. She immediately fired her gun horizontally, and the gun body infused with fighting spirit hit an invisible assassin, knocking him to the ground without any defense. Ye Zi determined the location of the person based on the sound of the landing.
The pure white gun tip stabbed violently, and blood immediately overflowed into the air. A moment later, a twitching human body appeared on the ground.
"Damn it!" Orva led the remaining two people to resist Metatron's negative magic siege on Ye Zi, but at this time Ye Zi seemed to be getting better and better. Not only was the attack power getting stronger and stronger, but the connection of the moves was also getting smoother and smoother. She felt that the fighting spirit in her body was getting more and more condensed. The power began to overflow from the body and entangled with the protective energy of the Shadow Gun. A flowing air mass formed around her.
Ye Zi felt that her mind was connected to this air mass. Faintly, the nature of her fighting spirit had changed.
When the demon assassin used acceleration magic on himself and broke through to Ye Zi, hoping to use close combat to disrupt her rhythm, Ye Zi's mind moved, and the air ball suddenly exploded at this moment, forming sharp air arrows, all of which hit the demon assassin.
The demon assassin was hit with bloody holes all over his body and fell down with a scream. Ye Zi completed a breakthrough in the battle and became a genuine mid-level warrior.
While the other two were also confused by the air arrows, she used the new strength in her body and twisted her spear to knock away the weapon of the last mid-level assassin. In his desperate eyes, she stabbed the opponent's forehead with a Green Dragon Claw.
Orva waited until Ye Zi's moves were old enough and slashed at her body with a knife. Ye Zi dodged to the side but failed to avoid it and was severely cut in the waist and abdomen.
But she was already fighting like crazy, totally ignoring her own wounds, throwing away the long spear in her hand that was difficult to turn back, pouring fighting spirit into her arms, and punching the opponent's chest with both fists. Orva had never expected that the opponent would abandon his artifact spear and fight with fists. Orva, an assassin who was good at attacking secretly, was stunned by this close-range fighting style. After four or five moves, his short knife was taken away, and then Ye Zi used the knife as a gun and stabbed the knife into his chest.
Ye Zi stood in the arena, surrounded by five assassins lying dead. She had more than a dozen wounds of varying sizes, the worst of which were two severe wounds on her abdomen and back, with blood gushing out, which would have been fatal to an ordinary person.
A pool of blood soon formed at her feet.
"Ah..." Only then did Ye Zi feel the pain coming all over her body at the same time, making her scream out in pain.
"Sister Ye Zi." The barrier around Javier had dissipated, and he rushed over and prepared to release the healing spell in his ring on her.
"Wait a minute!" Metatron folded his wings and landed in front of Ye Zi. She stopped Javier and said, "Wait until we leave this space first. Little Ye Zi, as the winner, you only need a thought to let us go back."
Ye Zi was about to faint, but she still forced herself to give orders, and the next moment, the three of them returned to the carriage. The moment she returned, Ye Zi suddenly found that her pain was not so severe, and her spirit seemed to have recovered a lot.
"Look at your wound again," Mei said.
Ye Zi looked down at his abdomen and found that although the wound was still there, it had miraculously healed and formed a scab.
"This is another function of the Arena of God of War, to collect the life energy of the dead and heal the body and mind of the victor. Although these assassins didn't have much life energy left when they died, there were five of them after all. I see that your injuries have mostly healed. Little Javier, you can start now." Mei pointed to Javier's healing ring.
The latter quickly cast a spell on Ye Zi's remaining wounds.
"Thank you, Mei. I wouldn't have made it if you hadn't helped me."
"You proved yourself." Mei helped her lean back on the seat in the carriage. "For a newcomer, you did pretty well."
Ye Zi quickly fell into a deep sleep under the aura of healing magic.
Mei looked at her profile and said to herself: Come on, my Valkyrie, you don't have much time left before others know your identity.
