It did not take long for Lian to reach the supposed site and she already saw one of the Wang Liangs attempting to murder a couple who had been out at night. With a quick leap from the roofs, she managed to kill it almost immediately.
"Demon Exorcist Association! Are you two alright?" Lian asked in English not sure whether they would understand.
"Si… Si, Signora!" The couple said as they never expected Lian to swoop down from nowhere to kill the Wang Liang in front of them.
"Then, are you able to stand? If you are able to escape from the South, these creatures are coming from the North." Lian said as she drew her claws out from her gloves with a sharp swing of her arms.
"Here. Boost in capabilities!" The male said as he cast Agility Up and Strength Up. Surprisingly, the female did the same as well with Stamina Up. Lian was surprised but had forgotten that she was in a Western country where mages were a common place in this part of the world.
"Thank you. Now go!" Lian shouted as she made full use of the buffs that she had kindly received from the couple, killing as many Wang Liangs as she can before the duration ends. It was at a certain point where those Wang Liangs finally turned into Y'm-Bhi and it got tougher from there.
Suddenly during the fight with the Mutated Undead Warrior, she heard a police siren sounding once but it kept flashing. The two Italian Policemen came out from their vehicle armed, and that was when she realised she did not have the time to cast any isolation barriers.
"Demon Exorcists Association! Associazione Esorcisti Demoniaci!" Lian tried to remember her broken Italian hoping that the police could understand.
"Do you need help?!" The police called and Lian was not sure if she should accept their help but she was damn glad that the police were able to understand her English instead of her Italian.
"Cordon off the area! Do not let people cross this area! Inform the Association to come!" Lian said as she tried to avoid the attack and attempted to slash the Mutated Undead Warrior back.
"Roger! We will provide some support!" The police officer said as they too cast a spell that caused chains to emerge and bind the Mutated Undead Warrior temporarily.
"Thanks!" Lian was delighted that the officers were also mages and they specialised in making sure that their suspects did not run away. This also meant that their binds were of a certain Magic level and she could be sure that they were at least useful to hold the Undead Warriors temporarily longer.
Hence, she tried her best to eliminate as many as she could to the best of her abilities, slashing and stabbing the undead warrior's heads and forcing them to die a horrible death. This was to ensure that these Y'm-Bhi do not have the ability to come back alive again and attack her.
However, as much as she did not use her chi abilities, that also meant that she had a major handicap in her skills too. This made her a little more vulnerable especially when she was reckless in her attacks, hoping to strike and kill with every slash. She had remembered that they had to be killed almost instantly and damaging them would only make things harder for her.
As for that reason, she became a bit too narrow in focus that she was unable to see a strike coming her way from the back. "My little fox. You should be more aware of your surroundings." The man said as his overcoat arched his presence but that gun that he used was undeniably unique.
"K-" Before Lian could say any word, the person placed his finger on her lips.
"Ah ah ah. My presence here should be a mystery. Also, do not worry. I am not emitting any chi either. The police's binding spells are more than enough magic for this particular scene." The 'man' hiding his face with a fedora hat replied.
"Thank you," Lian exclaimed as she once again felt the power of this particular man's chi within her body the moment his finger touched her lips. It was an extremely dark but at the same time comfortable kind of chi. It was not evil or whatsoever and rather it's the sort where you wish to have this cool feeling of solitude when you wish to temporarily cut yourself off from the world to destress.
And as what she learned from Jin's chi dissemination lesson in the afternoon, she carefully digested this man's chilly chi and dashed through Undead Warriors, slicing their heads and cutting them away to make sure they never come back.
All the man in the overcoat did was just one shot and was delighted that the little demon fox cultivator was able to make full use of the tiny gift he had given her. He clapped once before disappearing into the shadows where the police officers were not able to notice his presence at all after seeing how Lian was able to massacre the rest with minimal chi.
However, she could not rest as the tear was still open though she was sure that any Wang Liang imposters had already been killed and those who were coming off the tear were genuinely minions of the big bad final boss.
"Fear not, my child." A confident loud voice came from afar as Lian saw that it was Diego floating right above her.
"I guess, he never needed that Uber ride," Lian said as she saw him descend down to the ground level, and with his magic, the tear was closing. At the same time, she also find that he had been using less magic than he ever did in comparison to the closing of the tear at the Colosseum.
"I had met your senior. He told me that he have the power to seal the tear at that area and asked me to aid you instead." Diego said and Lian was finally able to sit on the ground, panting for her breath as she looked at the police officers who were overseeing the entire situation.
They too thanked her with a tip of their hats and reported the situation to their central command.
