The skeleton immediately started rotting and turned back to dirt that fell to the ground. Lalatina wasn’t fazed by Juju’s attempt to sabotage her spell.

Lalatina closed her eyes and the skeletons ran at each other. They broke apart into pieces and joined together.

The pieces of their bones formed a bigger skeleton monster with red bones that was just like blood. It held a staff made of human femur and a red cloak appeared out of nowhere which draped over its body.

It was at the level of an Earth Mage.

“Jujuju. That’s a new one.”

Juju was surprised to see the new skeleton in front of her. It seemed to be capable of using magic.

The red mage skeleton didn’t react to Juju’s words. Rather, it raised its staff and cast its own magic.

Juju opened her hand towards it and tried to suck out its soul. The skeleton mage or rather, the undead mage, pointed its staff at her.

Unlike before, the undead mage resisted Juju’s darkness magic, and it kept its soul.

“Amazing, but not enough,” Juju said.

She was impressed by Lalatina, but the strength of this undead mage was not enough to defeat her.

Lalatina ignored her and waved her flag once more. The other pristine white skeletons merged together and formed more undead mages.

In total, she made 24 undead mages. They formed a circular formation and raised their staffs in the air together.

Juju let her do her thing and waited for the 24 undead mages to launch their attack. She was still confident because the difference between Earth and Heaven was immense.

24 Earth Mage-level undead mages weren’t enough to defeat a Heaven Demon like her.

Juju cast her own spell. She perfectly timed it to meet head on with the undead mages’ attack.

‘Soul Freeze,’ Juju thought to herself.

As a demon, she was capable of insta-casting spells.

She waved her hand and all of the undead mages froze in place. Their souls were locked from thinking or moving.

The spell they were just about to cast dissipated into nothing. They were left standing there like idiots.

“How much did you improve!?” Lalatina exclaimed in disbelief.

She frowned and waved her flag horizontally.

“More than you,” Juju replied simply.

Lalatina’s darkness magic was still able to control the undead mages in another way. They were still stuck there and couldn’t move with her commands.

The undead mages’ bodies broke apart and the darkness mana carried their pieces towards the center of their circular formation.

These pieces shattered even more and similar to a jigsaw puzzle, they formed a large skeleton.

It was several meters in height and a dark halo hovered over its head. Boney wings extended out from its shoulder blades, and it held a two-meter-long black staff in its hand.

The aura and power it carried was significantly different than before.

Juju widened her eyes in disbelief. This new skeleton was as strong as a Heaven Mage!

Its appearance also reminded her of something– The legendary Fallen Angel!

It was an Undead Fallen Angel Mage.

Cold sweat poured down Juju’s back. She waved her staff and insta-cast a Heaven Mage-level spell.

It was unthinkable that a Heaven Demon could summon an undead with a power level that was similar to hers. She severely underestimated Lalatina’s improvement.

Lalatina wasn’t faring any better. She looked pale and anemic. The Undead Fallen Angel Mage took a huge toll on the darkness magic within her.

The drawbacks were acceptable for Lalatina. She controlled the Undead Fallen Angel, and it waved its staff.

Pure and mesmerizing darkness mana oozed out from its body and swirled around its body. Everything within Juju’s point of view disappeared.

The Undead Fallen Angel was the only thing left in her view. Its glowing red eyes glared at her, and she had the illusion that she was inside of a blackhole.

Juju was still a darkness mage, so she immediately understood what the Undead Fallen Angel was trying to do.

She counteracted it by wrestling control of the darkness mana surrounding her body. The illusion that she was in a blackhole vanished.

Instead, she was inside of a pure darkness mana fog. She could faintly see Lalatina’s figure in the distance just behind the Undead Fallen Angel.

“Blindness…” a hoarse voice said.

It came from the Undead Fallen Angel’s skeleton mouth. It was unknown how it was able to produce sound while lacking a voice box.

The feeling of being inside a blackhole returned. It was more intense and Juju started to lose track of time.

Her mind was like a little leaf floating along a river. She was slowly being dragged by the currents to a turbulent part.

Juju enclosed her soul with her own darkness mana and protected it from the influence of the Undead Fallen Angel’s magic. This eased up the feeling of loss that she felt.

It was still not enough as she started feeling things crawling under her skin and her brain started aching.

The feeling was very overwhelming. The only thing Juju could do was defend her soul.

She had a high understanding of soul magic. The Undead Fallen Angel seemed to know that and used its strongest magic against the soul on the get go.

Juju stared at its eyes, and it looked back at her emotionlessly.

Juju wracked her brains for a solution for her current depricament. She couldn’t just defend forever. She also needed to counterattack.

“Juju!” Juju exclaimed in excitement as she remembered something.

Lawrend’s soul was outside his body back then. He even tried to possess her.

With her understanding of soul magic, she could force her soul out of her body and attempt her idea!

Juju closed her eyes and sensed her whole body. She stopped defending her soul from the Undead Fallen Angel’s attack.

She gathered all of her mana and accumulated them to her soul. She compressed it in one go and then it bounced back.

She utilized this bounce back as momentum to kick her soul out of her body.
