Chapter 1266 – Farasha – Final
“I am not going to waste any more time with you!” Jin said as he too felt that Farasha was now afraid of him for some reason. More afraid than angry.
And with that declaration, Jin was finally about to step forward until he realised he was still in the Priest Savant form. It was a little anti climatic but the Dungeon Supplier wanted to be as safe as possible so he turned to Milk.
“Milk, do me a favour. Do you mind getting the first card from the deck right beside my waist? I told the System to magically reshuffle it so that you should be able to get the card that I wanted.” Jin said while still holding on to the orb of unstable void energy which he had been conjuring.
“Why? Not enough firepower or something?” Milk said as she went closer to Jin and did what she was told. The first card she picked up was also a Savant and it’s a warlock variant. The Priest Bellator then understood that Jin might have better control of the void energy if he was aligned with the warlock variant as compared to the priest variant of a Savant. “How do I activate this damn thing?”
“You just take the card out from the belt and insert the new one. It’s really pretty simple and foolproof. The System purposely does this so that other people can use it too.” Jin said while holding on to the void orb above his head. It was so uncool that some of the Pandarens were secretly taking photos of Jin trying to change his System Rider form especially during the climax of a fight. (Not to mention, Farasha was bewildered by Jin’s actions and it did throw off his focus a little because it really wasn’t the norm.)
Meanwhile, some of the Pandarens who were watching the stream believed it was a new gimmick that they could use in the future and thus, this random change form as not just a distraction but a new sort of indirect advertisement.
“If you say it that way, you are tempting me to just unplug it from you and use it for myself. I really wonder how the living metal feels like on my skin.” Milk said as she managed to take the card out, causing the System Rider to return to its base form and by putting a new one, the System Rider Belt started to make an announcement that he was going to change into Warlock form.
“Such blatant copy of the real stuff.” One of the Pandarens commented to his friend when they were watching the stream from the ‘safer’ shop instance.
“Hey, it’s unique enough to call it its own, especially when the suit design is pretty cool. Not to mention, he incorporated his monsters. Technically I feel that there shouldn’t be much of a copyright issue. But hey, what do I know about copyright laws?” His friend shrugged it off as they were immediately wowed by the new Warlock form.
Spikes appeared on Jin’s big ass pauldrons and a few miniature skulls were being pierced by said spikes. A long tattered and yet intricately designed black robe with an extra cape was seen flowing out from the centre of the rider’s transformation. Not to mention, his aura turned slightly greenish and black to the point where the Panda Silhouette above him started to have his eyes glow from bright white to devilish green while maintaining the fake butterfly wings and that improvised crocodile tail.
Thankfully, the transformation was not for nought, as Jin could feel that the assistance of the Warlock Savant had indeed kept the orb of Void Energy stable allowing him to send it out as a blast of attack as compared to when he was in the Priest Savant form. The Dungeon Supplier was partially afraid that the void energy could potentially backfire against him due to how unwieldy it was when he first conjured it. That was why he wanted to change into the Warlock Savant variant, hoping it works.
And now that it does, Jin did not hesitate to waste any more time. Farasha’s void beam had been accumulating during the entire fiasco as well but this was definitely his last ditch effort as the cultivators in the sidelines had been attacking him nonstop despite the Void Butterfly’s poor attempt at defending by producing a few void butterfly spawns to detract their attention.
It was the one and only shot where either Farasha lives to break this accursed barrier and regain access to his personal void source in the open world or he die to this odd caster which kept surprising him with all this unorthodox way of fighting,
The void blasts eventually were set off from both sides and to say the explosions were quiet was an understatement when the two void energies clashed against each other. It was so silent that it drowned the battle cries and all the surrounding background noise for a moment that everyone thought they all went deaf.
And it was not the end as a streak of blackness suddenly covered the entire field, causing everyone to see nothing, feel nothing and hear nothing. Everyone could not feel their senses at all and when light returned, they all struggled to get their bearings correctly.
However, one thing has changed on the battlefield after that sudden blackout for everyone. The Void Menace was not in the store instance at all, hence everyone started to look backwards to see if the other party was still around.
“YUP, HE’S OKAY. STILL BREATHING.” Milk was holding onto unconscious Jin in his System Rider form and raising a thumbs up for everyone to see. The Pandarens immediately went into celebration mode as the System had also announced the end of the WARE event and started to deposit the rewards based on the contributions done by each and every cultivator.
It seemed like everyone could finally take a breather, especially for Jin when he was indirectly being roped into this particular mess which he could have avoided.
