Beelzebub focused his mana sense to detect where this portal attack came from. His gaze went somewhere rather far. He saw a female outworlder there.

The portal attack was Fierce Flame's Soul Portal Arrow, Dead Eye Ace's level 60 skill. It was a shot carried out directly next to the target when triggered. If the arrow hit, it dealt 2000% soul damage. The successful hit would also inflict multiple random status effects. Beelzebub was currently afflicted with cursed, weakness, and poison.

Beelzebub narrowed his eyes at Fierce Flame. He was displeased for getting hit. More bugs came out of him. Demon flies bigger than the previous, and some demon wasps with fast flying speed. These bugs headed to Fierce Flame.

Fierce Flame shot another arrow at these incoming bugs. Her arrow split into a hundred smaller arrows midway. When these arrows hit the demon flies, they exploded, causing AOE chaos damage. This was Dead Eye Ace's level 70 skill, Chaos Firework Arrow.

Some demon flies tried to swerve to dodge the small arrows, but the arrows veered in their direction. This was Dead Eye Ace's passive ability. All of Fierce Flame's arrows had a short-tracking ability. If the dodge area was not too large, the arrow would most likely hit the target.

Aside from this short-tracking ability, Dead Eye Ace's other passive abilities included an improved perception when Fierce Flame was making a shot. The time in her perception slowed when she pulled her bow, allowing her to take a better aim. She also no longer needed an arrow. When she pulled her bow, an energy arrow materialized.

The demon wasps with fast flying ability had no problem dodging Fierce Flame's arrows. The arrow's short-tracking ability couldn't keep up with their speed.

Fierce Flame used another skill to deal with them. She used Dead Eye Ace's beginning skill, Dead Eye Arrow. This arrow dealt 500% physical damage on their target, which wasn't much considering it was a pinnacle skill. Its strength lay in its ability to chase its target. The arrow could make sharp-angle turns multiple times. Within one minute, the arrow chased after the target relentlessly. At max level, Dead Eye Arrow shot out five arrows. It also had a short cooldown of two minutes.

Fierce Flame increased her damage output by activating Dead Eye Ace's level 80 skill, a buff skill called Celestial Ace. This skill enhanced her every shot to deal soul damage. It also increased her firing rate and range.

None of the demon flies and demon wasps could get near Fierce Flame.

Beelzebub grunted at the scene. He called out more bugs and sent them to Fierce Flame.

The Hieracosphynx charged back at Beelzebub. Beelzebub stopped the monster's charge using Infernal Stone Gaze. It took some time to be free of the gaze's effect. When The Hieracosphynx's awareness returned, it found itself beset and under attack by three giant grasshoppers. These grasshoppers had demonic features and had red skin. If not for its high HP, it might have died from getting abused while being unconscious. It furiously fought back these demon hoppers.

Beelzebub left these enemies to his bugs. He had no intention of dealing with them. He moved away again. He hadn't gone far when he heard a thundering roar.

He used the Ultimate Beast. The Brave Lion transformed. Its muscles bulked, making it look larger. Its golden fur lengthened and became spiky. The armor on its body had many cavities, so the armor didn't inhibit this transformation. Golden flames burned from its body. Its wings turned into flaming wings, and its two eyes shone brightly as if a pair of flashlights.

The Brave Lion roared. Its roar created a shockwave that knocked the roaches and caused them to stop moving. It ran forward. Its four paws alighted with Flame-infused Fist. It jumped toward the pack of roaches. It stomped into one and used the stomped roach as a stepping stone to jump to another one. Its flaming paws caused an eruption on every stomp, killing the roaches while getting closer to Beelzebub.

Beelzebub, who was moving away, saw the Brave Lion approaching. 'Again?' He thought with displeasure.

At the same time, a raging turbulence cut through his sea of roaches from a different side. The turbulence was Jet using the panda's charging skill. He jumped out from turbulence with a flying kick. An earth shield stopped his kick. He jumped away after failing to land the kick just as the rock cloud came swooping.

On the other side, the Brave Lion slammed into another earth shield. It grabbed the earth shield with its flaming paw and bit. It activated its armor's power, Supremacy. Its attributes increased further. The earth shield cracked from the pressure and then shattered.

The third earth shield came to block before the Brave Lion landed a hit on Beelzebub. The rock cloud then slammed into it and caused it to tumble back. The roaches jumped onto it while it was down on the ground. But before they touched its body, a fiery explosion knocked them all away.

The Brave Lion then turned into a flaming ball and rolled forward. It again crashed into Beelzebub's earth shield. It bounced from the impact but rolled back for another assault. Jet also joined in on the attack.

Beelzebub growled with irritation. He cast the Infernal Earth Wall that blocked the two. He then moved in the opposite direction from the two. All the while, he birthed more roaches to deal with the two.

As he moved, he found another outworlder. He remembered this one. This outworlder was the one who stopped his Extinguishing Chaos Flash.

Giant Steve stood tall with his Fallen Apostle's Tower Shield, ready to receive Beelzebub's attacks.

Beelzebub understood this one had a strong defense. He had no intention of wasting time. He moved again in a different direction while summoning more bugs to deal with the outworlder.

Suddenly, he stopped. His mana sense warned him that something was on the ground in front of him. He had been focusing on these outworlders. He did not pay much attention to his surroundings. Only after he was this close that he sensed the danger.

"What...?"

It was something invisible. It was most likely a rune diagram. A thought occurred to him. The enemies had come at him one by one from different angles. Could they have been steering him toward this spot?
