Chapter 1253 – Farasha – Part 2
“Hahahahaha! NOW we are talking!” Farasha came out of the explosions all burnt and riled up from all the damage. Yet, he was satisfied by the outcome of the battle as if this was what he wanted for a very long time.
“These chains…though they are weak, it’s annoying enough to keep me still for just that series of explosions. And gosh, lady! It’s been some time since someone struck me with a force that I can finally feel something!” Farasha said as his teeth were popping out from the sides of his mouth.
“Gosh, is he some sadistic monster?” Milk asked as she returned back to Jin and Peppers.
“I did not really use that much mana in the last few blasts but I thought something of that magnitude should have blown that stupid crocodile to pieces.” Peppers said as she tried to analyse the current monster that they were facing. It was hard to give an estimate compared to the monsters she had fought before, mainly because they all exude a certain amount of magical presence no matter how weak it was.
But for this void monster, it was exuding emptiness rather than a magical presence and thus Peppers had problems trying to deduce the amount of Mana needed to break it. Not to mention, its high magical and physical resistance was a problem which the two bellators encountered and it seemed like their usual strength was not enough to break Farasha down to its knees.
“Still, throwing more firepower at it is not the solution.” Peppers said despite the fact that she raised her staff and shot another blast of fireball right towards the Void Butterfly. “Because it is a creature of the void and has a name, it might indeed be a high level being that is connected to the void. Right now, its connection is still weak because the summoning was abrupt. But once it had established a proper connection with the void, it could resist even my strongest of spells.”
“So we gotta break that connection and make sure to punch it up a lot more?” Jin still did not understand the concept of a void monster. After all, he was sure that other worlds had their own set of unbeatable monsters and that was not including Hell and Heaven’s plane. Especially when he heard more about Mr Derpy’s master, he was very sure that he did not wish to return back to that world of his unless it was necessary, So, Jin could only assume that this was a monster exclusive to this world which the System briefly explained that it was because of Guan Yu rewriting the rules and laws of nature.”
“His actions had caused these monsters to emerge as part of his plan to help people. The only problem was that he did not expect this brand new existence to plague the world but its appearances were minimal because of the added precautions Guan Yu had done to keep the world stable. With limited information on the System’s database and internet sources, the System can only assume the Banned Emperor had uncovered the ways to summon them which is currently unknown to us.” The System stated.
“Anyways, based on Peppers’ analysis, the only way to kill it is to weaken the monster’s connection to the void, right?” Jin said as he cracked his knuckles. The System instantly knew what it was thinking and if it could laugh and concur at the same time, it would have done the same too.
“Then I guess, it’s because of both of our dimension instances which allowed the void monster to not regain its strength so quickly.” Jin understood what needed to be done to reduce its chances to gain immortality. While it was not normal for him to show his tricks wide open for everyone to see, it was necessary to stop this in its tracks as soon as possible. Also, he too did not want anyone to see that he was capable of catching the Void Monster since the System said it was available for Jin to do so.
MIlk and Peppers also realised what Jin implied and quickly went forth towards Farasha. Despite the wounds it had been inflicted, the scales and wings of the Void Butterfly could be seen regenerating once more and it meant that Farasha was bidding for time until the opportunity was right for it to attack them mercilessly. All it had to do was to withstand the next series of attacks by the monk and mage combination. However, it was not stupid to take the next wave of offensives head on but rather stop them in their tracks if it was capable to.
Beams of transparent lasers, almost unidentifiable to the naked eye, were ironically seen by Milk as they were shot out of his wings. She was able to evade it with ease by thinking they were beams of steel pipes shooting towards her. Only Peppers did not actively avoid the attack as she had erected a mana barrier of her own that was capable of absorbing and even deflecting some of it. Unfortunately because of that incapability to evade, Farasha targeted her and the poor mage had to bear the brunt of it.
Yet, it was a good enough distraction for Milk to move towards the wings and use her strength to tear it off. Because of that, Farasha assumed that Peppers was the distraction, and yet he did not know that Milk was doing the same, all for Jin to do its trick.
A large magic circle once again emerged right under Farasha’s feet and he assumed that the mage was going to do its explosion magic once again. Thus, he used one of his butterfly wings to summon even more of the butterflies to act as a barrier by blocking each and every part of the magical circle to prevent it from taking direct damage.
However, that was not what the magical circle was intended for. Only mages sensitive to mana could see that the magic circle was not Peppers and instead, someone else’s. Jin was the one who created the circle while Peppers was preparing another spell to make sure he succeeds.
So just as how he created the spatial chains to hold Farasha in place for a mere few seconds, Peppers did the very same thing, just that it was with an orb. A massive orb of gravity when Jin finally activates the magic circle as a gateway to the System’s main territory.
