I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

boom--! ! !

The bone club slammed into Magneton, instantly denting its body and emptying its health bar, even though the attack only had a power of fifty!

However, it is a Ground type, while Magneton's type is Electric and Steel, and it is four times weak to Bone Boomerang!

However, the Magneton on the other side is quite sturdy, with the Hard ability, but the boomerang is called a boomerang because it can hit twice!

—The Magneton on the other side was instantly defeated!

Yang Xiying and Ye Zi also pounced at this moment. The former knocked down the bespectacled man, and Ye Zi put a talisman on his head!

—The bespectacled man can no longer get up!

"The enemy is surprisingly weak," Yang Xiying couldn't help but say after sensing that there was no other life around.

"..." Some of the superpowered individuals who hadn't yet reacted were speechless. It wasn't that the enemy was too weak, but rather that the superpowered individuals were too strong.

They had realized this beforehand; if there were too few enemies, they might not even be able to get a single kill...

"Don't... don't get cocky. I'm just the weakest one in our group. The really strong ones are yet to come..."

The bespectacled man with the talisman stuck on his finger couldn't help but speak up, leaving everyone speechless, with Ye Zi even complaining.

"What a classic villain's line..."

“Let’s leave one person on this floor,” Ah Yu suggested at this moment, so that they could even split up and act separately.

Moreover, someone does need to stay on the first floor so that if the person going up encounters any problems, the people below can provide assistance or inform them.

"And Mr. Yang, I also suggest you conserve your energy, because we are not sure how many enemies are left."

—Letting our main force be worn down like this is not a good idea.

"I understand."

Yang Xiying nodded. Although she didn't mind taking on all the work herself, the others did need to show their abilities.

After everyone finished their discussion, they left behind a bespectacled man with talismans to accompany them and continued to venture deeper into the second level of the Anling Tower.

PS: Update!

NO.189+190, how about we do something big together?

"...Hmph! The guys downstairs are indeed unreliable, but that's enough for you. Let us have a go at you!"

Yang Xiying and his group continued to advance towards the top of the Anling Tower, and this time he gave the opportunity to fight the enemy to the others.

Those superpowered individuals truly possessed real skills; they were able to handle every obstacle in their path.

Yang Xiying was also very grateful that they could help her deal with the enemies, because there were quite a few female enemies among them!

Superpowered individuals are not limited by gender, while prayer masters are mostly women, although exorcism and spirit suppression are best suited for people with more yang energy.

However, this doesn't mean you will. Women are more sensitive than men and are more perceptive of ghosts.

However, encountering evil spirits can be quite troublesome, and right now they've run into a large group of female prayer masters!

If Yang Xiying were to fight them, then, just as the superpowered individuals said, she would expend some useless energy.

Moreover, given these guys' tendency to beg for forgiveness after losing, he was somewhat worried that the talisman wouldn't be able to suppress them.

—It was really good that I concealed my presence beforehand…

In order to avoid becoming a target for others and to catch the enemy off guard, Yang Xiying asked a superpowered person to cast a spell on her.

Its presence has been greatly reduced, as if it had been sprayed with insecticide...

A group of people climbed upwards, but the higher they climbed, the fewer people remained in their group because they had to split off a portion of their people to stay on a certain floor.

Just as the bespectacled man said at the beginning, the strength of the enemies will increase as the floor increases!

The enemies encountered on the first floor are around level 30, while those on the 10th floor are over level 40.

This is already a very strenuous level for most superpowered individuals, so they got injured and had to stop.

Moreover, once someone is defeated by an evil spirit, they cannot simply be left unattended; various rituals are required to protect them.

—Or perhaps they want to drive out evil spirits and restore them to normal so they can help them.

So when they were almost at the top floor, Yang Xiying and her group had only three humans and a few Pokémon left, which made them extremely alert.

"...Is this the last floor...?"

Yang Xiying, Ye Zi, and A Yu arrived at the staircase leading to the next floor. Ye Zi couldn't help but speak, and A Yu nodded in response.

"Yes, the Anling Tower has 18 floors in total, and this is the seventeenth floor. We are almost at the end." The top floor of the Anling Tower is where the spirit world is connected.

—And that might be the enemy's headquarters.

“But our senses have become much duller here,” Ayu said, looking around with a frown.

"The powerful force is clearly on the next level, but I feel like I can't sense anything at all right now."

"Because we have come to the very center of power, the energy floating in the air has numbed our senses of our surroundings."

Yang Xiying responded that they did indeed feel like they couldn't sense anything here, and the reason was that this place was filled with powerful forces.

—so much so that their range of perception is greatly reduced!

“Shall we take a step back and wait for the people below to come up and join us?” Ayu couldn’t help but ask, as he did feel a tightness in his chest.

The enemies he might encounter here are of a level he would find difficult to handle, and not only that, even Miss Ye Zi is about the same level.

Right now, the only one who seems unaffected is Yang Xiying, who is considered a key player in the team, but there's only one person who still worries him a bit...

“It is indeed a good method…” Yang Xiying nodded subconsciously. It is better to be cautious when facing such a major event.

"ah--!!!!!!!"

However, at that moment, a scream suddenly came from below, which made Yang Xiying and her group look shocked.

"...What's wrong with this place?!" Ayu couldn't help but ask, and a sneer suddenly came from the air.

"—Heh, you dare to challenge the tower with only a dozen or so people? You're really audacious."

"That voice...is it Miss Naz?" Ye Zi quickly recognized the owner of the voice, but there was something else in the tone and content...!

“Reckless? Ha,” unlike Ye Zi who hesitated, Yang Xiying retorted directly, letting out a light snort and revealing a mocking expression.

"You talk as if your rabble is something to be taken seriously. A dozen of us are more than enough to deal with you."

——! ! !

Upon hearing this, Ye Zi and A Yu looked at Yang Xiying in surprise, because the enemy they were facing now was indeed different from the ones they had encountered before!

Isn't this kind of mockery a bit inappropriate?!

"Enough? What kind of joke is this team of three humans who have already lost three of their dozen or so members before they even reach me?"

"—You guys don't actually think you got here on your own merits, do you?"

"So you deliberately lured us all into the tower, and then, once we climbed to the top, your accomplices, who were hiding outside, blocked the bottom?"

Yang Xiying spoke again, this time with a somewhat tentative tone, because they had both considered this possibility.

There may be more evil spirits than just this, and they may not just sit idly by and wait for the enemy to climb and break through the tower.

Even if they wait, it's very likely a deliberate scheme to lure them in, and then unleash other evil spirits once they've climbed to a certain height.

By blocking the bottom layer, we can trap the turtle in a jar.

"Hmph, you're not entirely stupid," the voice rang out again, though its tone was somewhat sarcastic.

"After all, we only have so few people here. Do you hear me? Ye Zi, A Yu, you two go down and support your comrades now."

Yang Xiying shrugged, then turned her gaze to Ye Zi and A Yu, while Ye Zi looked at her master with a surprised expression.

"...And what about you, Master?"

"I knew that the guy up there wouldn't let the three of us leave, so I'm here to hold off the guy on the top floor for you."

Yang Xiying responded directly.

"Heh, since you're here, none of you three are leaving!" Another mocking voice echoed through the air.

Fog began to rise around us, and white mist filled the entire room, making not only our senses but also our field of vision narrow!

"Gah——!!!"

A large number of Ghost-type Pokémon began to appear, and the three of them and the Pokémon that followed them were all ready for battle!

“If you hesitate here any longer, I’ll have to activate Plan B,” Yang Xiying couldn’t help but say, noticing that the other two hadn’t moved yet.

"Plan B?" "Don't ask, it won't work if you tell me," the other person subconsciously wanted to ask, but Yang Xiying quickly stopped them.

He planted a bomb inside the Anling Tower, a reward from a previous mission; that thing could blow up the entire tower.

That way, you wouldn't have to worry about being trapped by the enemy, but doing this in a cemetery is somewhat immoral and could easily incur divine retribution.

Therefore, Yang Xiying still hopes to end the battle with minimal losses.

"Anyway, if you're really worried about me, go down and help your companions. After you've dealt with the situation together, come back and help me. I can still hold on until your rescue."

Yang Xiying spoke again, and Ye Zi, who had been hesitant, finally made up her mind, as did A Yu.

"—We understand."

“Gengar, Marowak,” Yang Xiying said, turning her gaze to the two Pokémon that had been following her.

"—I'll trouble you to escort me."

"Gengar—" "Marah—" Gengar and Marah had no such thoughts, and Yang Xiying's idea was indeed reasonable.

"Then—" Yang Xiying slowly spoke, directing the Azure Flame Blade Demon and the Abandoned Monkey in the shadows to launch an attack on the surroundings!

Because others had fought for her before, Yang Xiying took the opportunity to have her two Pokémon use moves to strengthen themselves!

Now, Azure Flame Blade Demon's physical attack and defense both increase by six levels due to Bulk Up, and its speed is also increased by six levels due to Shattered Armor. Abandoned Monkey can also use Bulk Up!

In addition, it has an extremely overpowered move called Fist of Fury, which, although only fifty in power, becomes stronger the more times it is attacked.

The power of the move will increase, up to a maximum of 350! This is even more terrifying than the Big Bang, but it has a Normal-type weakness.

—After all, Ghost-type moves are ineffective against Normal-type moves.

But the enemies here don't have those kinds of Pokémon; they're mostly Gastly, Haunter, Misdreavus, Cursed Doll, Dusknoir, and Driftball...

On average, they are only level 40, which is nothing compared to the level 66 Azure Flame Blade Demon and the level 53 Abandoned Monkey!

Even though they all have reflective walls and light walls protecting them, and even mental fields and magic spaces...

It seems the guy on the top floor was indeed prepared to receive them, but they're not without ways to deal with the magic space...

—After all, he has more than just a few Pokémon active on the field.

"Master! You must wait for us!"

Ye Zi and A Yu successfully broke through the encirclement and went down to provide support. They will come back to help Yang Xiying fight the BOSS after the mission is accomplished!

However, seeing Yang Xiying and the two Pokémon acting like ghosts and gods, Ye Zi had a feeling that he was coming to support her side later...

"Hmph! You creatures of the mortal realm are indeed quite capable!" The voice rang out again as the ghost Pokémon were utterly defeated.

—This time they seem a bit anxious!

"But don't get too cocky!" As the voice rang out, the mist in the air turned black in an instant!

The sound directly covered Yang Xiying and the Pokémon that were with him, and then the voices of Azure Blade and Forsaken also rang in Yang Xiying's mind at the same time.

[My lord, our abilities have returned to normal!] [Boss, it seems I need to prepare for the enhancements all over again!]

“Black mist…” Noticing the riddles around her, Yang Xiying instantly understood what was going on.

"—That's definitely a skill they have."

Black Mist restores the stat changes of all Pokémon currently in battle to their original state, and is unaffected by the bugged move Protect.

Therefore, the enhancements to Azure Flame Blade Demon and Abandoned Monkey have disappeared. To be as powerful as before, they need to be enhanced again!

But before that, they need to find the enemy who released the black mist, which requires climbing to the next level. Thinking about this, Yang Xiying narrowed her eyes.
