Because this demon’s ability was to turn into a real ghost.
So, what is a real ghost?
They could fly around weightlessly.
They could pass through walls as if they had no physical form.
Physical means of the real world couldn’t touch them in the slightest.
Moreover, they could become invisible, torment others in their dreams, curse others, cast resentments, and even possess others’ bodies—all of it was doable.
Therefore, Milu was known as Ghost Demon and was considered one of the most dangerous among the Six Great Demons, alongside Lide.
Whenever she wished, she could turn an entire huge city into a Ghost Realm, suck out all the people’s life force, and even capture their souls, turning them into her Ghost Army and slaughtering all living beings.
This was the Unique Skill of Ghost Demon Milupesh—[Ghost Species].
Shane found this innocent-looking little girl terrifying, and Magie also thought this person was the most frightening among the demons, because Milu was a true ghost, not only possessing the same abilities as a ghost but also holding different values from ordinary people—the bloodier the scene, the crueler the act, the more she encountered them, the more excited she became.
Without someone watching over her, she might do something truly dreadful at any moment.
In the past, Milu had done several extremely horrifying things just for fun.
For instance, she sucked dry the blood of an entire army, turning them into dried-up corpses, just because she found it amusing.
Or, once, in search of someone to play with, this Ghost Demon entered the Human Realm, accidentally wandered into the Divine World, and turned several Goddesses into Corpse Ghosts, nearly sparking a colossal conflict between the Divine Race and the Demon Clan.
Therefore, Lide was often by Milu’s side to prevent such incidents.
Lide was restrained from using her powers at will because the noise and destruction they caused were too terrible.
Milu was not allowed to roam freely because she lacked a proper sense of right and wrong.
They were considered the two most dangerous among the Six Great Demons because they could unintentionally bring unimaginable disasters to others.
Unlike the brutality of the Dragon Demon and the Poison Demon, these two were the type to unconsciously destroy everything even without acting violently.
Thus, they became a pair, one monitoring her younger sister’s actions, the other protecting the older sister who couldn’t freely use her powers.
In front of such a Milu, Magie’s hopes of escaping by hiding in darkness and shadows were utterly impossible.
As a ghost, Milu could immerse herself in darkness at any time and drag her back out.
Understanding this, Magie, covered in blood, still had not given up her will to survive.
She didn’t want to die.
Not out of fear but out of unwillingness.
She still had so much unfinished business.
She had many things she wanted to do.
She also wanted to find an opportunity to get back at that Earl and show him just how terrible a Demon Spirit could be.
How could she die in such a situation?
"[Celestial Collapse]!"
Magie let out a somewhat shrill cry.
Around her blood-soaked, dismembered body, terrifying gravity fields suddenly emerged.
Gravity, like a black hole, kept swirling and stirring, beginning to fracture the space around Magie.
Lide recognized the true form of the magic that Magie had unleashed.
It was indeed Gravity Magic, a type of magic that Laischa also knew how to use, capable of manipulating gravity.
At this moment, what Magie was using was one of the most dangerous Forbidden Techniques of Gravity Magic, which could cause gravity to spiral out of control and create collapsing black holes.
"Crack, crack, crack...!"
Under the stir of that uncontrollable gravitational vortex, the black hole seemed to truly descend upon this world, causing the space to fracture inch by inch, and everything around it seemed to be drawn in, continuously sucked away and crushed.
Although Milu, with her Ghost Body, was unharmed, the uncontrollable gravity made her float erratically like an uncontrolled kite, causing her to emit sounds that were either panic or joy.
Ai Yi and Lide swept into midair, avoiding the continuously collapsing space.
"To think she would even use a Forbidden Technique meant for mutual destruction?"
Lide was quite surprised.
"Mutual destruction?" Ai Yi did not think so and snorted coldly, "That Demon Spirit is not the type to go down together with someone else."
Indeed, the destructive power of this move was astonishing, and it did not distinguish between friend or foe, engulfing Magie as well.
But Magie, besides her Gravity Magic, also had mastery of Dark Magic. As long as she used the "Shadow Walker" she just learned, she would likely be able to escape into the surrounding shadows and flee the collapsing gravity field.
That artificial black hole wasn’t a true black hole after all; it wasn’t to the point of absorbing even light.
Ai Yi then breathed out scorching Dragon Breath towards the collapsing black hole below, causing the Dragon Breath to grow once again in the wind, turning into a massive Dragon Flame, and blasting towards the void below.
The Dragon Breath entered the black hole and gradually melted it like magma.
Before long, accompanied by a dazzling light and a thunderous roar, the black hole was destroyed by the Dragon Breath, vanishing without a trace.
It was at this moment that Lide finally made her move.
Following a soul-shaking roar, Lide’s furry body suddenly swelled in size.
She was growing larger.
And more terrifyingly ferocious energy surged from her as she grew bigger and bigger.
However, once Lide became as big as a dragon, she stopped changing.
"This size should be enough, right?"
Lide’s voice boomed like thunder and aimed towards the ground below, she opened her massive jaws.
An astonishing sucking force suddenly emerged from Lide’s mouth, more horrifying than the black hole, and began to pull everything on the ground into it.
The ground shattered into rocky slabs, flying up one after another.
Even pieces of the collapsed space seemed to be pulled, drifting out and heading in the direction of Lide.
Lide devoured all of this, swallowing everything here.
If this phenomenon were to continue unabated, would even Taiger Forest be consumed entirely?
Fortunately, the person Lide intended to suck out appeared quickly.
From a shadow, a Demon Spirit, reduced to a mere husk, was involuntarily drawn out, struggling while being sucked up along with countless trees and rocks into mid-air.
Lide’s gaping maw was like a bottomless pit, swallowing everything.
Including the battered Demon Spirit.
Magie let out a panicked scream.
But nothing could forestall her impending tragic end.
After a while, Magie, who kept struggling and even unleashed various magics towards Lide, which were simply swallowed by Lide without creating even a slight disturbance, was brought into mid-air.
In the end, Lide opened her mouth and swallowed Magie whole.
The Demon Spirit’s screaming finally stopped abruptly.
Lide closed her mouth, her body rapidly shrinking, returning to her original form.
The trees and rocks drawn into mid-air paused altogether, then they all fell to the ground, producing a series of thuds, kicking up dust.
The battle, thus, came to an end.
Ai Yi and Milu returned to Lide’s side.
As if their task was still incomplete, Ai Yi said.
Milu nodded vigorously.
Lide also knew that the real show was just beginning.
Thus, the trio transformed into three streaks of light, flying towards the direction of Elf Country.
Leaving behind only the battlefield, which looked as if it had endured unimaginable destruction, crumbling and in utter disarray.
Gradually, the evil energy began to dissipate as well.
In the forest, countless Demons slowly regained their sense, wandering uncertainly.
