When Su Xiao reached the area near the narrow alley at top speed, he immediately sensed the aura of the Dark Demons inside. He drew the long blade at his waist and entered the foul-smelling alley.
Tower Balder was not slow either. The moment Su Xiao entered the alley, Balder arrived with the Spiral Sword on his back.
Inside the narrow alley, three Dark Demons stared at Su Xiao. None of them dared to act rashly. It felt as though a blade hung before their necks—if they moved even slightly, their heads would be severed at once.
With a bang, Tower Balder came to a sudden stop, sinking the ground beneath his feet. After only a brief look around, he nodded at Su Xiao, then slammed his shoulder into the wall beside him.
Boom.
Rocks flew everywhere as Tower Balder charged into the basement. Several translucent ghosts pounced at him. Tower Balder drew the Spiral Sword from his back, and energy poured into the blade, forming a vortex of power.
Tower Balder gripped the hilt of the Spiral Sword with both hands and charged like a knight wielding a lance. He broke through a layer of airwaves, and when he appeared again, he was already behind the ghosts. One ghost's body shattered, and its white-smoke-like essence wailed as it dissipated into the air.
Just as the remaining ghosts charged at Tower Balder with the resolve to die, ice spread outward.
"Moo."
"Thanks!"
Tower Balder shouted, then leaped into the innermost passage of the basement and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Clang, clang, clang!
Pale-blue blade glows sliced through the walls, cutting apart the ghosts in the basement as they wailed and dissipated. Taking advantage of this, A'Mu and Baja also charged into the passage at the back of the basement.
