285 Spiral Box

With Peppers' mana turned to chi, courtesy of Milk, Jin concentrated and placed all he had into the The Great White Ice Wall of China. The Titan Knight noticed that from the crevices of the icy wall, things started to emerge. After a while, tentacle looking ice tendrils slowly grew from the ice bricks and immediately flew towards the eyes of the Titan Knight. Their purpose was not to just to penetrate but also to mislead and confuse the knight as the tendrils moved in various angles and directions to damage the eyes. The Titan Knight did retaliate by trying to burn them down with its laser eye beams, but by doing so, it also allowed Jin's Great White Ice Wall of China to be reconstructed again with Peppers' mana. While the Titan Knight was distracted, Jin created a thin faint line of ice, similar to a small silk thread crawling towards the Titan Knight. Of course, Jin could not see through the great ice wall he had created. It had been with the aid of Grey's magic, who conjured a single demonic eye that overlooked the Great Ice Wall. "How did you even do that?" Jin asked as he was trying to get used to controlling the single demonic eye floating quietly above the Great Ice Wall."I've used this particular magic for scouting and to overlook our fields back in the farming world. I had to use it on a daily basis, so that eye spell became a part of me... which also allowed me to continue guarding the area even when asleep. That is how I oversee my other werejackals in this current battle as well." Grey said proudly as he showed the demonic eye above him to Jin."I was thinking… Do you think it is possible it can combine with my magic?" Jin asked. Grey's reply was that they could only try to find out.Only through the demonic eye did Jin realise that the Titan Knight in front of them did not have a lower body. It only had a chest armour with various wires and metal parts protruding out at the bottom of its torso.Perhaps the sudden emergence of it caused everyone to focus on the fierce attacks it made more than its figure. That was also why Jin was trying to get that thin thread of ice into it.The ever growing thin ice thread made its way to the bottom of the torso and quietly climbed up the rugged set of armour. The demonic eye that was floating above the Great Ice Wall disappeared as Grey chanted it's magic, with a slight variation in the chanting hoping that it would allow it to combine with Jin's current ice magic. To the surprise of both of them, it worked and the thread that was moving around inside the rugged set of armour sprouted a small demonic eye near the tip of the thread. The eye allowed Jin to navigate the complex set of chipsets and metal while leaving deposits of ice cubes with a small twist while multitasking the tendrils.Jin's new knowledge and understanding of Panda Black Fire and Panda White Ice increased after reading the cultivation manual when waiting for Lynn to be released from the police station. He learnt how to combine the Panda White Ice with Black Fire and having the appropriate proportions of each magic, the Black Fire could be ignited within the White Ice cube, causing an explosion. To achieve that, Jin needed to channel and compress a hell lot of chi energy of the Black Fire within the confines of the White Ice. Given time, the Black Fire would manifest within the White Ice cube, and subsequently absorb the chi of White Ice. The moment the Black Fire completely absorbed the White Ice cube, it would explode. The Nineteen Lazy Astral Panda cultivation manual called this particular technique the "Ying Yang Compression Spiral Box". With 'unlimited' chi energy Jin dared to create this technique on the fly even though it was his first time doing so. The ice threads continued to move forward and upward depositing these spiral boxes in the Titan Knight as it was busy fighting against the tentacle ice tendrils.In the meantime, there was another fight going on behind the great Wall since Peppers' gravity well brought the remaining crawlers towards her before the Titan Knight shot out its laser beam of supposed death.What Team Mino and Team Jacks did not realise was that crashing those robot crawlers was not accomplishing anything even though the System was continually capturing them after defeating them. Jin's previous upgrade of his capturing method allowed all of the humanoid robots and robot crawlers to be obtained the moment they were defeated. Yet, there was still no end in sight as the numbers of robot crawlers were not diminishing even though it was apparent the Titan Knight was not producing any extra.Werejackal Brown subsequently noticed it was too strange and decided to revert into full werejackal form instead of constantly switching forms as they had been doing for the past 10 minutes to see if there was anything that they had been missing. In full werejackal form, his senses were heightened and coincidentally, he became aware of a silhouette that seemed invisible to the naked eye. It blended quite well within the abyssal darkness around them, but Brown quickly took that chance to take a hatchet axe he was equipped with and threw it at that direction. *Clunk*The sound reverberation from the hatchet axe was slow, but it was apparent that the axe disappeared too even when Brown focused in that direction. "There must be something there, I am sure of it!" Since Brown managed to confirm its existence and was not hallucinating, he now switched his form back to half-human, ready to cast fireball as trained by Grey. However, that 'something' felt the axe hit and responded accordingly as Brown casts his fireball."...into a mass of fiery hope! Fireball!" Brown shouted but before the sphere of burning mass could leave his hand, it was cut into two by some invisible force which, in turn, sliced Brown's arm away too.Brown was momentarily in a shock, but sufficient battle experience made him return to werejackal form immediately as he leapt backwards before he saw a robot looking arachnid come out from the abyssal depths removing its invisibility cloak function."Aha ha ha…Guess I made it really angry." Brown noticed that its axe hatchet was stuck onto one of its robotic eyes as it screamed loudly with mechanical sounds. Right below the body of the robotic arachnid, even more robot crawlers were falling out of it as if the robotic arachnid was giving birth to many newborn spiderlings. The scream from the robotic mother arachnid made the little robot crawlers even more aggressive which upset the current war of attrition between minotaurs and werejackals. "Shit!" Jin noticed the change but he was too occupied with the Titan Knight. The bellators could not move a single inch too as they were currently acting as the mana to chi conduit for Jin. "Team Mino and Team Jacks! WORK TOGETHER! Fall back! Form a defensive parameter with minotaurs in front!" "System! Summon Moloch out here now!" Jin ordered and within a second, Moloch appeared right in front of Jin holding on to the Tact Tweak. "You read my mind Moloch." Jin gave a faint smile as he continued to concentrate with the Great Ice Wall and depositing miniature spiral boxes in the Titan Knight. Moloch pulled out a chair with magic and sat down holding the Tact Tweak. "Team Mino and Team Jacks. I will be your interim commander. FIRM UP!"
