As the battle continued to escalate, the curse's potency grew, sapping the strength and resolve of the combatants.
Hong Meilin, who had valiantly dispelled the curse for countless experts, found herself fatigued and weary.
Nevertheless, the humans and beasts fighting alongside her displayed unwavering determination, matching the demons blow for blow.
Wang Ying, however, remained entwined in a fierce duel with Zyrithia, her strength slowly waning as she fought against the powerful devil princess.
Only her ancient artifacts and talisman symbols managed to force a momentary seriousness upon Zyrithia, their attacks possessing the potency to harm her.
Elder Hua, recognizing the gravity of the situation, rallied the remaining experts under her command and rushed to aid Wang Ying in her battle against Zyrithia. With their combined strength, they hoped to turn the tide and reclaim the upper hand.
