842 Demon Trapper

"You think you can win against me when it comes to monster summoning? How about I show you that you aren't as special as you might think." Jin monologued to himself while he grinned and raised both of his arms. (Maybe he thinks that the Banned Emperor Assassins could be eavesdropping him from a distance, hehe!)

A dozen portals instantly appeared next to him, in the shape of a circle. Like a sundial gnomon, the 12 portals surrounded Jin as if he was the centre of a clock. Out of those portals came the Valgs. Those horrendous outer world monsters that had once been controlled by Maeve, the daughter of Winter Court Queen.

Similar to Milk and Zeru, the Valgs that appeared also featured a bluish-black aura around them. That aura was actually a part anonymity inscription charm infused with by the powers of the Black Sludge Crystals. The high concentration of that aura should hopefully result in the Demons coming towards them instead of fighting the Royal Soldiers.

The System theorised that there was no way the Banned Emperor assassins could actually control this many Demons in the same way it did for the monsters. Instead it believed that they had opened a netherworld gate or maybe a direct connection to the Hell Plane which Moloch and Baal had come from, allowing these Bone Spirit Demons to appear in masses in Jin's world.

That would certainly explain why the System had been unable to capture any of those Bone Spirit Demons. After all, if they left their realm without permission and their actual essence continued to reside in the astral planes they were not really there for it to capture them. Jin did not really get the System's explanation for this complex situation until the System used the analogy of someone killing Jin Number Two.

"How would I know what happens if he dies? I have never been through that before." Jin answered as he started to power the gates with Black Sludge Crystals, the latest kind which was transparent clear instead of the old muddy ones after he had reached Grade 8 Peak.

"Nothing would happen to the User, since Jin Number Two is merely a form of energy created from your astral energies. The System might be able to catch ethereal beings such as ghosts and such but not beings whose essence core lies outside the present realm of existence."

"But surely Newton's law of every action having a reaction still applies?"

"The animal which got infused will no doubt end up stronger afterwards and perhaps even turn more intelligent. That is the System's analysis report according to the few that have been captured. More studies need to be conducted to confirm whether that is always the case or the captured individuals are outliers. System asks User to provide a larger sample size."

As for the infused monsters or animals, the System knew how rich and lush the forests could be but the number of monsters rushing to destroy the border walls definitely outnumbered their current population which led the System believe that a separate dimensional gate similar to a long term portal got used.

And beyond that portal lay thousands of clone animals which were probably genetically modified with enhanced cultivation in them. Because those were the type of animals the System had been catching.

What's more, there were also species that were not native to the Dongguan Huizhou natural environment such as the Bone Spirit Elephant Demon that Jin had to fight as it jumped over the portal and dived towards him.

"On the plus side, these animals could potentially be used for the Cultivation Zoo that User plans to create alongside with the incoming delivery. Intern Claire has promised that the animals that Grandma Yuan imported should be arriving after the Chinese New Year holidays."

"Heh, that is assuming we can survive until New Year!" Jin said as he slammed the Elephant Demon down after performing a Panda Tumbling technique and following that up with Lazy Swipe into the portal.

Meanwhile, the Valgs were dragging the various Bone Spirit Demons into the portals. The System did assist a little by enabling some sort of vacuum which sort of pulled the Demons into the portal as soon as they entered into close vicinity.

But most of the time, the Valgs were working hand in hand to bring down larger creatures before they had the chance to retaliate. Some of the Demons were way too dangerous and needed to be taken down as soon as possible.

Nevertheless, the tactic which Lynn had thought up was quite useful despite it not going as planned. By putting Jin in the middle to attract the Demons, some were mindless enough to get sucked into the portals while the rest tried to jump or circumvent them to get to Jin.

Yet, even those Demons with limited intelligence were in for a surprise as the portals worked on both sides, allowing Jin to throw and kick those Demons into the portals.

Thus, it was basically a large catching net with Jin akin to being the Demon trapper by throwing all the Demons he could find into the portals.

The System also theorised that was the most efficient way to stop the Demons since the Bone Spirits would dissipate once they went through the portal mainly because they could not live or maintain their form and shape when they entered the System's domain. But the System could not confirm all these until Jin started the 'operation'.

"Heh! So this is actually easier than I thou-" Before Jin could complete his sentence, he felt an abrupt knock on his head.

"Baka! Look at that!" Peppers appeared right beside him after hitting him with her staff and told her master to look up.

"You must be kidding me!" Jin uttered as he did not notice what Peppers was pointed at, with how focused he had been capturing the Bone Spirits.

"And why are you here?!"

"Because Ayse already installed the necessary shield generators, so she told me my work was done. Besides, I was not happy that I had to dial down my explosion on the crashed castle tower. Now, since I held back earlier, it's time to finally unleash-"

"Jin, are you seeing what I am seeing?" Hou Fei interrupted Peppers's speech as he contacted his master via the System Channel.

"If you are referring to that giant thing, then yeah, but it seems like there are some people attacking it right now," Jin answered as he adjusted his zoom function and saw two cultivators doing their best to damage the Colossal Bone Spirit Demon Aberration.

He did not know whether they were brave or pure foolish as the Bone Spirit Aberration attempted to sweep them away with the use of its gigantic tentacle looking hands. If he were to make a comparison, the Aberration was as large as the Giant Chickens he had fought in the Giant World.

But to see something of that size in his own world was simply jaw-dropping because this could possibly be the first colossal monster the world had seen in decades.

"This cannot be…" Moloch, who happened to watch at the sidelines, recognised the monster. "That is a manifestation of Loopa Ooofpa! The Unceasing Hunger!" Moloch claimed as he called Baal to verify.

"That is, without a doubt... Loopa Ooofpa. How did it get summoned in Jin's world?" Baal wondered since the Unceasing Hunger was a menace not to be trifled with.

"Who cares how it got here? It will cease to exist to satiate my own hunger for explosions!!" Peppers announced as she prepared her magic chant.
