"What the fuck is that?!" was the first question that popped into my head when I saw that sixty-meter-tall creature blasting through the door as if it was made of paper foil.
This thing's size wasn't the only thing scary about it, it was the fact that it had multiple characteristics of all the rakshasa we have seen before. The arms of a Brute and the cleavers of a White. The mixed skull structure of both a Black and a Silver rakshasa.
Why is it out? Wasn't this thing trapped inside the cube made by the former King? How did it manage to leave its prison?
All of these questions needn't be answered now, for the moment we have to get the hell out.
"RUN! HURRY!" I shouted. Everyone legged it as if hell itself was on their heels while my puppets immediately began jumping at the incoming fiend.
They climbed up its frame stabbing at it with sword and claw, and shot at it with everything in their arsenal.
The creature shrugged off the bullets as if they were made of beans while the swords bent or shattered against its hard skin.
Void stage-level puppets were getting crushed and smashed around as the creature moved up the stairs.
The creature wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon, it made it halfway through the stairs when we barely made it to the door. But the door was on a timer and we needed thirty seconds before it could close.
If this thing gets out, shit will get ugly. It's strong enough to break out of the Thunder Domain and begin hosting and assimilating even more of its kind into the beyond. An outbreak of these things would recreate what happened to Solaris the home of Tong Yao the current Queen.
"It mustn't leave! " I heard through my divine sense, it was Tong Yao's worried voice. Though these things had already destroyed her home, she wouldn't want the same to happen to other worlds.
"How the hell did it even get out in the first place?!" I questioned.
"I don't know! My father had sealed it first, it should have several binding chains all over its body preventing it from moving even inside the cube."
I didn't have time to deduce what happened. So I snapped my neck toward Dao Shen and the rest.
"Go out first!" I called out, "And don't use your Qi when you're outside! The thunder is still unstable!"
My head turned back to the incoming Rakshasa. Rage was displayed in my expression as I slapped both hands together in a powerful prayer motion. The band holding my hair snapped as it fluttered along my clothes all over me in a shockwave.
"True and False! Domain of Delusions!" was spoken as if it was the decree of a deity upon the land.
Immediately, a wave of darkness flew out all around me, creating a giant dome where only I rule. The laws of physics were reversed and all that I command within my domain can only be true.

The incoming creature was trapped inside the domain and began walking back, but it didn't even take it a fraction of a second before it started moving forward again.
My nose began bleeding as I realized that this fucker understood the base of my Domain in less than a second and is now reversing all of its actions.
An idea suddenly popped up in my mind.
I pulled my revolver and shot a bullet deeper into the bastion floor right at the foot of the staircase.
I held my hand up then twisted it, enabling the Heaven Swapping Ring by changing position between myself and the bullet that bounced.
I then slapped my holding bag pulling out tons of explosive canisters that I threw above me.
In my vision the Noble Rakshasa was at the exit, it stood there and began screeching loud, enough that his voice increased to the extent that it could no longer be heard but now it was visible.
Its loud screech rippled and ripped the very fabric of space itself. It didn't leave the bastion yet but merely screech out loud at the doorway. Perhaps it was presenting itself to the outside world. That it had returned.
Though creepy and terrifying I was thankful for that, after all, it was arrogant enough to waste a few seconds at the exit of the Bastion.
Did it want to leave in style? Like hell if I'm going to allow that.
I raised my hand up and twisted it once more.
Before one would use their Qi, you can almost sense how much you'll be using. For example, my poison breath would make me feel as if I breathed out until nothing was left in my lungs, a small tug of exhaustion that can easily be recovered.
The stronger the Qi usage the more powerful the initial perception would be. And here I was trying to force an entity that is far higher level than me in cultivation to change position between myself and it. Forcing it out of the grasps and clutches of spatial law and bending them to my own will.
Let me just say, that the cost made me feel as if every blood cell in my body was wrenched out of my body at the same time.
But it had to be done. My hand fully twisted and the creature's entire body was transported into where I was when I appeared on the door. The last thing I saw was the confusion of the Noble Rakshasa as its body had been forced back into the bastion.
But that was it. Confusion only, no range or madness or even anger or a will to fight back. It was only a small bit of confusion, then a wide grin appeared on its freaky jaw.
As if saying... that it no longer mattered.
The seal on the Noble Rakshasa began manifesting in bright gold color before the cannisters that I had thrown a second earlier started exploding.
I was bucking over, almost falling back into the staircase when unexpectedly it was the Fire King who grabbed my by the robes and dragged me out in one swing.
In that moment the massive door in front of me suddenly shut down.
The door is shut... finally.
My mind couldn't keep up with the exhaustion and it soon began fading.
It's been a long time since I lost consciousness... damn.
