Chapter 1138: Ending the Tender
The BoneTender was raging.
He was infuriated and it was all but clear that he had gone insane. Despite Benzard punishing him with strikes livid with red lightning, he kept whirling in the sky, bellowing the same
thing over and over again.
"TELL ME WHERE IT IS!"
His form, like a long cloak, barely seemed to change at all from the damage he took. As a matter of fact, the only damage the BoneTender seemed to have taken, was mental.
Yuyui, decked in Replicus' Hollow Dusk Prison, was also zooming through the skies, aiding Benzard in his attempts to both harm the Null Lifeform and keep him away from Sause.
'It's not working,' Yuyui thought frustratedly.
Her Eye of Dispersal wasn't working on the BoneTender.
It didn't work on anything Null Life related, it seemed.
Quite like the basic effect of a Territory, it wasn't equipped to deal with an energy beyond the natural bounds.
Null Life, as Serenity had explained, along with Voided Death Essence were in a higher tier than Undeath, which was somewhat... ordinary and could in fact be dispersed by the Eye of Dispersal.
Sause remained on the mountaintop where the shrine the BoneTender had thought was the key to reaching what made Aigas rich, was located.
He kept studying the movements of the Null Terror, a contemplative look on his face. "He's gone mad," he heard Aurolio say from across the giant, gaping hole Replicus had made with an arow from the Fallen Reincarnator's Shadow. Stylla still lay unconscious near him.
"A few minutes ago, I thought the same of you, ahaha. That's the same sort of face you wore when you thought you had what you were looking for in your grasp," Sause mocked. Aurolio scoffed.
He didn't really have the energy to argue.
Edagon shook vehemently, like a ship on the turbulent ocean.
Sause could have sworn he heard the groan of the ebony sea around the entire continent. The massive landmass had actually shifted tremendously or perhaps rose only to clap on the surface of the sea.
There were deafening crackles from the sky far away, and everything turned a little darker for a moment before returning to normal. Then another great boom ensued that would have left people on Feinheath thinking the coming of the Deities was nigh.
Thick bolts of red lightning exploded from the swordsman, warding off the BoneTender's advance.
Yuyui used the chance. She immediately moved herself over to the Null Terror's head.
"You lost. You failed. My Master beat you and you were tricked by the person you trusted. There's no room for you here! So just get lost already!" she screamed as she used her Eye of Moving in a manner she hadn't managed to before.
Because her eye was like Brunt Divide, manifesting any meaning of the name it embodied no matter how far-fetched, Yuyui tried to conjure a extreme repulsive force that would force the BoneTender away, like a vicious blast of wind.
Well, that was what she intended to do.
What actually happened was that her Eye of Moving caused the particles - molecules and atoms - surrounding the BoneTender to start moving, bouncing against each other rapidly. Unconsciously, Yuyui made these particles bond to the Null Terror... and then they zipped away at tremendous speed with the BoneTender in tow!
The BoneTender crashed aggressively somewhere far, where the land had been eaten away by Replicus' Ju'wtte.
As he lay sprawled on the ground, he felt that his body had actually taken a fair bit of damage
now.
Whatever that green head had done... it actually harmed him.
Yuyui, bleeding from nose and looking rather exhausted, appeared in front of the Null Terror, Benzard in tow.
The latter propped up his hands and made a gesture, his mana turning to Nitros in the next
instant.
The BoneTender knew what he was about to do and because Yuyui was here, he didn't have
the option to escape.
However...
Far away, the Null Terror sensed a certain redhead he had acquired a month ago stir awake
finally.
Finally...
