In the next moment, Steve and Klein vanished from their positions at the same time.
Steve appeared directly in front of Ravena, his spear already moving toward her. At the same time, Klein appeared in front of Dominique, his sword raised and ready to attack.
Ravena quickly gathered blood around her body and formed a defensive weapon to block Steve’s attack. Dominique also summoned several phantoms around herself to attack Klein.
The fight between Klein and Dominique quickly became close combat.
Klein swung his sword at Dominique, but she moved away while her phantoms attacked him from different directions.
Klein cut through one phantom, but another appeared behind him and tried to attack.
Dominique also used her mental ability to interfere with Klein’s thoughts and slow his reactions.
However, Klein’s mental resistance was strong, so her ability couldn’t affect him too much. It only made his reactions slightly slower.
Klein continued attacking her without giving her much time to use her abilities.
Whenever a phantom came near him, he destroyed it with his sword before moving toward Dominique again.
Dominique slowly began retreating.
The humans still had an advantage in mana and stamina, especially Klein.
Steve had already used a large amount of mana during his previous battle, but Klein had arrived later and had much more energy remaining.
Dominique realized that she couldn’t let the fight continue for too long.
If the battle continued like this, she would eventually run out of strength before Klein did.
She suddenly summoned several more phantoms and sent them toward Klein from different directions.
At the same time, she used her mental ability again, trying to slow his movements.
For a moment, Klein’s movements became slightly slower.
Dominique immediately rushed toward him, trying to use the opening.
But Klein quickly regained his focus.
He swung his sword and destroyed the approaching phantoms before forcing Dominique to retreat again.
"You’re going to need more than that," Klein said calmly.
Dominique’s expression became slightly darker.
Nearby, Steve and Ravena were still fighting.
Their battle was much more destructive, with blood and Light Element mana constantly colliding and damaging the already-destroyed facility.
Both battles continued at the same time, but the advantage was slowly shifting toward the humans.
After five minutes of constant fighting, Ravena finally made a mistake. Steve immediately noticed the opening and didn’t waste any time. He thrust his spear forward and released a concentrated Light Element beam from its tip.
BOOM!
The attack struck Ravena directly in the stomach, creating a large wound and forcing her backward.
Dominique immediately noticed what had happened. She quickly used a powerful illusion to interfere with Klein’s mind while several phantoms appeared around him and attacked at the same time.
Taking advantage of the brief opening, Dominique immediately moved toward Ravena. She reached her before Steve could launch another attack and positioned herself between them, ready to protect her.
Ravena looked down at the wound in her stomach before looking back at Steve. Her expression remained calm, but her breathing had become heavier.
Blood quickly gathered around the damaged area and began regenerating the wound. Steve tightened his grip around his spear, knowing he had finally found an opportunity to seriously weaken Ravena.
But before Steve could attack again, Dominique was already there. She quickly grabbed Ravena and retreated backward while using her mental abilities against Steve. At the same time, several phantoms appeared around him and moved toward him, forcing Steve to slow down and defend himself.
Steve clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"If only she hadn’t absorbed those souls, she would have been much easier to kill."
Steve then looked toward Klein, who had arrived beside him. He said in an annoyed tone, "You couldn’t even keep her occupied for some time? I was about to finish her."
Klein glanced toward Dominique before replying, "She’s annoying to deal with, and those illusions are even more annoying."
Before Steve could say anything else, the space around them suddenly began to ripple. Everyone immediately turned toward the strange fluctuation, which was coming from the Domain that Alan had activated earlier.
The Domain was slowly disappearing.
The distorted space gradually faded, revealing two figures inside it.
It was Alan and Alex.
Both looked exhausted, and their clothes had been torn apart in several places from the battle. However, neither of them had any serious injuries.
More importantly, there was no sign of the Null Demon anywhere.
Steve immediately understood what had happened.
They had succeeded in killing the Null Demon inside the Domain and probably Stored the body inside their storage ring so Ravena couldn’t absorb it and regain her strength.
Ravena was still healing her injuries when she noticed the same thing. Her expression immediately became darker, while Dominique also frowned as she looked toward Alan and Alex.
Fighting two Grandmaster-rank humans had already been extremely difficult for them.
Now there were four.
The situation had completely changed.
Ravena’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Steve, Klein, Alan, and Alex."Fighting four of them now..."
She paused for a moment before continuing in a serious tone."That would be no different from seeking our own deaths."
Dominique whispered quietly, "Should we try to escape? I can trap two of them in a strong illusion for a few moments if I use all my remaining strength."
Ravena stood up slowly and shook her head.
"No use. There is a strong barrier all around this place. It would take at least five minutes to break it, so escaping is pointless. Instead, let’s try to kill at least one of them before we are completely surrounded."
Dominique nodded, accepting Ravena’s decision without arguing further.
Steve and Klein looked toward Alan and Alex.
The two Grandmasters nodded in response, and all four of them prepared to move at the same time.
However, before they could make their move, a voice suddenly echoed through the battlefield, making everyone present stop for a brief moment.
"All four of them are still alive?"
