The Thorn Demon's movements became even swifter, and in just a blink, it rushed into Kane's Origin Skills range.
Those transparent objects controlled by Kane to rush towards the Thorn Demon were cleverly avoided by it, and then it extended its sharp claws towards Kane.
This strike indeed hit, but it only struck the transparent armor on Kane's body, producing a piercing sound like a sharp weapon cutting into steel plates.
The transparent armor protecting Kane revealed its true form, a pitch-black mechanical steel armor, which began to extend its arms and legs, transforming into a mechanical armor three meters high.
A transparent rhombus crystal stone appeared in the mechanical arm, transforming into a transparent crystal long spear over four meters long.
The mechanical armor possessed agility unparalleled for its size, deflecting the incoming sharp claws with the shield on its left arm, then withdrawing the spear to fiercely stab at the Thorn Demon.
However, this strike was caught by the Thorn Demon's claws, and the demon's tremendous strength prevented Kane's spear from advancing.
Both of their arms were locked in a stalemate this way, but a steel fist appeared below the Thorn Demon's head.
The steel fist's tail spewed out blue flames, landing a punch under its jaw.
It lifted its head high with the impact, weakening the grip on its hands, allowing Kane's spear to quickly break free, then slash towards the Thorn Demon's shoulder with a reverse grip, turning the spear tip into a giant axe in the process.
This strike cleaved firmly into its shoulder, the axe blade cutting halfway into its arm.
The other claw of the Thorn Demon appeared as a faint red phantom, striking down fiercely.
The mechanical armor's left arm and side were entirely destroyed by the red phantom, turning into fragments that then vanished in a burst of magic power.
Kane immediately retracted his weapon, leaping back a few steps, then surged magic power to rapidly reconstruct the destroyed part.
In just a few seconds, the damaged area was completely repaired.
At this moment, from not far away, the Saintess maintaining the Holy Light Rain sent a blessing in Kane's direction.
With the blessing received, Kane noticeably felt his strength and magic power intensity enhanced.
Magic power surged out again, and Kane, already in Divine Form, allowed the Holy Light to spread over the mechanical armor.
The originally black steel armor appeared plated with a layer of golden film, extraordinarily majestic.
The Thorn Demon once again charged at Kane, striking the chest of Kane's armor with a claw, tearing a huge gash.
This strike's speed had increased by yet another notch compared to earlier attacks, simply too fast.
Even though Kane had his Martial Intuition fully activated, he still couldn't defend against it.
Then the Thorn Demon once again disappeared in front of Kane, its extreme speed allowing it to suddenly reappear on Kane's left side.
With a claw dragging a red phantom, it swiped again at the mechanical left arm.
However, this time Kane sensed it, and though he couldn't make a move in time, he thickened the steel plate on the spot the Thorn Demon was targeting.
Though it hit, it achieved no significant effect.
Countless sharp blades were manufactured by Kane, starting to revolve around him.
This method prevented the Thorn Demon from making intense strikes at Kane with its newly accelerated speed.
However, it remained somewhat unconvinced; striking it a few more times calmed it down.
Thus, the two started to slowly become locked in a stalemate.
Now, it was time for Kane to switch from defense to offense.
He swapped some of his skills.
Under his control, the mechanical armor sprouted several gun barrels and ammunition launch pods, and bullets imbued with Holy Light turned into white barrages, covering the Thorn Demon.
A red shield suddenly appeared in front of the Thorn Demon, blocking the attacks.
But Kane did not stop, maintaining the barrage.
The bullets from the barrage scattered the dust around the Thorn Demon, filling the surrounding with dust and making it somewhat hard to see.
The transparent long spear in the mech's hand disappeared.
Kane suddenly stepped out of the mech's cockpit, but even outside, he could still control the mech's barrage output.
At that moment, in a flash of light, Kane suddenly appeared behind the Thorn Demon.
The transparent long spear in his hand turned into a golden light, with two floating cannons on his shoulders each firing a shell.
The shells landed on the Thorn Demon's back first.
Amidst the explosion, the golden light-transparent long spear pierced fiercely into the back of its head.
The Thorn Demon, focused on using magic power to defend against the barrage attack, hadn't any time or energy to sense Kane suddenly appear behind.
This strike landed solidly.
The long spear piercing into its head caused a critical strike of Holy Light Energy to explode in its brain, along with a burst of black smoke within the transparent crystal.
This stealth attack caught it unprepared, defenseless.
The blood-red spiky head was blown apart by more than half, leaving only the edge with an eyeball still barely attached.
The energy shield in its hand dissipated, and the last wave of barrage followed, striking its body.
Countless energy groups exploded on it.
Like a ragged body, it collapsed to the ground, then turned into a pile of flying ash.
Tossing the spoils from the ashes into the space equipment, Kane opened his Eagle Eye to observe the situation in the village.
By now, a vast majority of the villagers were kneeling, pleading for mercy, bound by soldiers and taken outside the village.
Meanwhile, some stubborn resisting villagers were killed on the spot.
The only ongoing battle involved the elite squad and Kreya's group.
Two elite squads were each holding off two demons with silver magic power reactions.
Kreya's group was eliminating the remaining demons.
These demons were more rational and slightly more powerful than other demons Kane's groups had previously encountered.
But they remained at a disadvantage against Kreya's group.
The over-five-meter-tall Longbei smashed a Night Demon trying to flee by flapping its wings down with a hammer.
The plummeting Night Demon was then split in two by Kreya waiting below, and at this moment, Kreya held not the previous Holy Light One-Handed Sword, the Pilgrim.
But rather a serrated pitch-black Two-Handed Greatsword, now turning into a ghastly white phantom by Kreya's ghostly transformation enchantment.
Meanwhile, Lilulu transformed into what a mage should look like.
A 'Glass Cannon.'
Numerous twinkling colored stars, along with several suddenly appearing rainbow beams, smashed towards the remaining cultists.
However, at this moment, within Kane and Meizike's Eagle Eye Vision, the magic power in the entire village was concentrating.
Like a vortex, it incessantly sucked in a large surrounding area of magic power.
Witnessing this, Kane immediately communicated with his teammates using the ruby lapel pin on his collar.
