Meanwhile...

One Uglyface was still wary of Val. Its body language said that it was unwilling to approach him. The other not so much. It was initially wary of Val like its counterpart. But after seeing Val doing nothing and just standing still, it took it as a sign of weakness. Against devils like this, exposing even the slightest hint of weakness can put one's life in jeopardy! 

Guwahk!

It roared and rushed towards Val. Its movements were swift as it was using all eight of its hands to move.

"Distract it," Val pointed at one of the Uglyfaces and quickly commanded his undead.

Heeding their master's command, the thirty level 2 undead rushed towards their designated target. And as the distance between them shortened and the Uglyface entered their attack range, they utilized the Corrosive Claw skill to aggro it.

Corrosive liquid burst forth from their claws, spraying onto the grotesque creature.

KUEK!

Immediately, it bellowed in agony as the corrosive substance dissolved its skin, revealing the raw, bright red flesh beneath.

"Don't give it a chance to breathe. Keep attacking!" Val commanded.

Following his command, the undead then pounced on the Uglyface, sinking their claws dripping with corrosive liquid into its tender flesh. They grabbed a handful of its flesh in their claws before pulling backwards with all their strength, tearing chunks of meat from its flesh.

KUEK! KUEK! KUEK!

It cried out every time a chunk of meat was ripped from its flesh. The chunks of meat were tossed to the ground by the undead. 

These chunks of meat didn't grow into Uglyfaces. Seeing this, Val breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the regeneration ability of Uglyface devils is impressive, it's not without limitation. It's not to the point where it can be considered invincible."

As he spoke, the undead were ripping the Uglyface apart. Its cries of agony echoed throughout the underground area. It was a creature in pain, cornered, and enraged.

However, just as a rabbit would fight back when cornered, the Uglyface, albeit as dumb as a rock, instinctively knew what to do in the face of such torment. It rammed into the wall like a bullet train. Many undead were crushed by this act, but impacting against the wall with such force caused a wide and purple bruise to form on its pale white body, increasing its suffering. Not to mention, more than 2 dozen undead still clung to it like bees to honey, ripping its flesh apart and sucking its blood! 

Immediately, it changed its tactics, starting to put its thirty-six pairs of hands to good use. It grabbed the undead sticking to it like leeches one by one, tearing them from its body and flinging them away with all its might!

Swoosh! 

The undead flew across the underground area and crashed into the wall on the opposite side, several of their bones breaking as their bodies impacted against it.

However, the loss of bones seemed to have not affected them even a tiny bit as they instantly rose back to their feet and resumed their relentless assault on the hideous creature.

"Your undead... they are really capable. They reduced our troubles by half," the Voidsalyer said. After a moment, it added, "We're fortunate that they're managing to keep it busy. We wouldn't be able to handle two Uglyfaces ourselves," Voidslayer remarked.

Val curled his lips into a small smile, "Well, they've always been quite reliable in situations like this."

"It's coming," Voidslayer suddenly said.

The other Uglyface had coiled its limbs beneath it, preparing to spring itself at Val.

Val, however, was already aware of it, as his sixth sense has alerted him of its insidious plan by sending a throbbing sensation down his spine.

While the undead kept one Uglyface busy, the other launched itself off the ground with all its thirty-six pairs of hands. Like a grotesque frog, it leaped towards Val, its enormous mouth gaping wide. The maw was so cavernous that it looked as if it could swallow Val whole in one fell swoop.

Val looked unfazed as he stared at the incoming threat. It was a massive threat to his life, but it failed to get a response out of him.

Seeing how calm he looked in the face of death, Voidslayer couldn't help but be taken aback. Had Val already accepted his fate? However, he didn't seem like one to give in so easily. There must be some other reason why he was not responding to the threat!

After a blink of an eye, the Uglyface was an instant away from devouring Val, but in that very moment, the armor he wore lit up with a resplendent light that forced the darkness of the underground area to retreat to the corners. A milky white shield of unparalleled radiance expanded from the armor, enclosing Val within its protective boundary with a promise to protect him from all forms of Evil. The shield had appeared too suddenly, and the Uglyface didn't have high intelligence or reflexes. Its strength and speed were impressive, but its other stats sucked. The slow-witted Uglyface failed to adjust its trajectory, crashing headlong into the luminous barrier!

Bam!

A resounding reverberation rang out and echoed throughout the underground area as the Uglyface impacted against the shield generated by the Armor of Aegis to protect Val. 

This shield was made of Holy Power. It was like poison to all devils. Val didn't understand the science behind it, but he'd witnessed priests easily slay devils using Holy Power in his youth. So he knew it would work.

As expected, the brief contact with the Holy Barrier melted the skin and fat of the Uglyface's face. As the melted flesh dripped on the ground, the swirling darkness and grey bones that were once hidden beneath its ghastly white skin were revealed.

Kuek! 

The pain caused by coming in contact with Holy Power was so intense that black tears welled up in the creature's eyeless sockets as it writhed in agony.
