"That feels incredibly ferocious!" Pietro remarked upon hearing the four-armed demon's roar, asking Peter Parker in a low voice, "How about it, Peter? To what extent is your danger sense tingling?"
Everyone knew about Peter Parker's spider-sense, so when facing an enemy, they would occasionally ask him about the situation with the enemy. This also served as a way for them to gauge the strength of their opponent.
"Definitely nowhere near Robert and Kara's level, but this guy feels much stronger than any demon we've faced before. We need to be careful!" Peter Parker said with a grave expression, launching an attack at the four-armed demon who was already charging at them.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Spider webs shot out from Peter Parker's hands, attempting to bind the four-armed demon. However, a gust of wind emerged from the demon, scattering the spider webs off their intended path.
The spider webs, not being energy lasers and despite being controlled by Peter Parker, struggled to hit the four-armed demon accurately amid the fierce wind. Especially since the demon's wind had blown Peter Parker and the others back.
"Be careful!" As Peter Parker and the others were blown back, Barry Allen suddenly shouted, his figure flashing towards Johnny Storm, pulling him away.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Right where Johnny Storm had just stood, three wind blades cut through the ground, creating a fissure, and continued slashing towards Robert's telekinetic barrier before shattering.
"He has wind blade attacks in his wind, be careful!" Peter Parker also quickly shouted, trying to approach the four-armed demon from the side. However, the surrounding wind became more turbulent, the powerful wind pressure preventing Peter Parker from getting close. He also had to be wary of the wind blades that could attack at any moment, leaving him overwhelmed and without an opportunity to counterattack.
Against the wind-powered four-armed demon, Peter Parker's long-range attacks were ineffective, and he couldn't get close, essentially losing his ability to fight.
Among the remaining members, after being saved by Barry Allen, Johnny Storm nodded at him, not wasting any words. Instead, he launched a burst of explosive flame towards the four-armed demon.
"Boom!" Under normal circumstances, flames would not be able to approach the four-armed demon due to the wind pressure. However, the explosive flames contained Johnny Storm's will, allowing him to control their direction. They continued to approach the demon despite the wind pressure, eventually exploding!
However, a wind barrier protected the four-armed demon, blocking the explosion's force and causing no harm to him.
"Let's try!" Barry Allen and Pietro disappeared from their spot. The wind affected their speed but not significantly, especially when they entered their high-speed domain. The surrounding wind no longer impacted them, allowing them to quickly get close to the four-armed demon and punch towards his head.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
Barry Allen and Pietro's fists almost simultaneously hit the four-armed demon. Barry Allen's attack was blocked, while Pietro's punch only caused the demon's body to tremble slightly, without a significant reaction.
The four-armed demon reacted quickly, swinging his bone club at Barry Allen, who had his attack blocked, ignoring Pietro who had hit him.
"Thud!" The demon was quick, but Barry Allen was quicker, dodging the attack. The bone club smashed into the ground, cracking it open.
Taking advantage of the demon's focus on Barry Allen and Pietro, and the reduced wind pressure, Johnny Storm seized the opportunity. His explosive flames roared towards the demon, while Pietro and Barry Allen, having already coordinated, dashed away from the area.
"Roar!" The four-armed demon howled, his bone club shining with a blue light, striking towards the explosive flames.
"Boom!" An explosion sounded, engulfing everything in flames and smoke, obscuring the situation.
"Be careful! His threat hasn't diminished!" Peter Parker warned his teammates, then quickly shot a web at Johnny Storm, pulling him away.
"Swish!" Another wind blade sliced through the air, opening a crack in the ground.
As the team's heavy firepower, Johnny Storm's reaction and defense were not strong, far inferior to the other three. During battles, Peter Parker often took on the role of controller and front-liner, with Pietro and Barry Allen responsible for distractions and sneak attacks, leaving Johnny Storm to deliver firepower. Therefore, Peter Parker and the others always tried to protect their "glass cannon."
"Swish!" As the four-armed demon's attack was dodged, Pietro and Barry Allen charged back into the fading smoke, but soon, their figures were thrown out. A terrifying wind pressure burst from the smoke again, clearing all the surrounding dust.
"This isn't working! We need to change our approach!" Peter Parker shouted, turning to Johnny Storm, "Johnny, follow Barry Allen. We'll try to draw the demon's attention. Have him carry you and look for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack!"
"Okay!" Facing an enemy, especially a demon, Johnny Storm wouldn't hold back. Sneak attacks? How could that matter? He looked at Barry Allen, and the two instantly turned into a blur and disappeared.
"Hmm?" The four-armed demon noticed their disappearance, his eyes revealing a trace of seriousness. He had blocked Johnny Storm's explosive flames but still felt threatened by them. He knew Johnny was the only one among the four who could cause him effective damage, so he wouldn't be careless.
After devouring many of his kind, the four-armed demon's intelligence had also increased. Not only did he need to find a way to deal with Peter Parker and the others, but he also needed to find a way to escape this place because there was a Robert outside whom he couldn't handle at all.
Fortunately, the four-armed demon glanced at a large pit on the ground, already formulating a plan. However, he didn't realize his action of glancing with just one eye was too obvious, at least to Robert, who noticed immediately...
