“What is this sorcery?!” Farasha thought to himself angrily as he crushed the building right in front of him and unleashed a beam of energy through the streets. The aftermath of the scorched area could be seen releasing a series of butterflies once the energy had dispersed into the air.
Those black looking butterflies as dark as the absence of light were subsequently seen droning towards the cultivators. But to the cultivators who had seen this trick one too many times managed to not just evade them but counter their existence.
For Death was their teacher and Experience their partner in crime.
Many who had encountered Farasha in the past did not have such a luxury as many were quickly consumed by the void. And that was why it finally clicked to Farasha that he might possibly meet his doom when the opponents he had defeated suddenly came back to life, stronger and wiser. Stronger with better gear to counter his void butterflies, wiser when the cultivators banded together to attack him.
The Void Being now anxious, tried to reach out to his source of power, one which he thought losing it momentarily would not prove a hindrance. However, no matter how he tried to summon it, he could feel that something was blocking it. Farasha could only assume that the cultivator who created the portal was the same person who made this particular barrier.
“But to have a force ready to fight against me, and to boot, they kept sprouting back up as fit as a fiddle instead dying…that I cannot comprehend!” Farasha saw its black void butterflies destroyed so easily that he raged by using whatever void energy he had stored within him and concentrated them into his series of butterfly wings. The portal to which he had access to the void was not the only way he gained his void energy. Because he knew that another way of generating void energy was through his opponents and that was allowed to make them feel despair, dejection and ultimately desolution of their emotions.
The only problem was these ordinary looking cultivators were not feeling that way despite their multiple horrible deaths. Instead, they were renewed with vigour, their spirits rejuvenated and perhaps sadistic to the point that Farasha had difficulty killing with his limited repertoire of skills.e
“Ahh ahh. And here I thought everyone would be struggling.” Jin said as he entered his dungeon maker instance along with the others who had finally reached Jin’s abode.
“To be fair, you trained them to be this crazy. Especially when this is a free event and there are already talks of limited event goodies to be earned from this..” Lynn welcomed them back as she already prepared a few cups of tea for the group to partake as a way to calm down before going into battle if they needed to.
“That I have to agree with Big Sis Lynn.” Su Zhen and the rest of the Demon Exorcists nodded their heads in unison.
“The System had also assumed that User had to enter the fray to even out the odds but it looked like the average grade cultivators and their determination to earn rewards had incidentally incentivised them to be the bane of the Void Being.” The System stated how it monitored Farasha to be hesitant in its attacks and even decided to be more careful in its approach against the head strong warriors he was against. “However, even if the Pandarens and Pandawans were to join forces, they still would not have enough power to put it down in time.”
“In time? What do you mean?” Jin thought that as long as Farasha was stuck in the System’s premises, there was no way he was able to escape, much less the continuous onslaught on his dependable band of customers.
“Farasha had been testing out a variety of methods to break the dimensional instance despite its actions against the Pandarens. It goes to show that the Void Being is worthy of its rumours.” The System stated that the dimensional instance was actually eroding away due to the Void Butterfly’s attack. While the System was able to repair it in time in such a way that it was not noticeable for Farasha, it figured that once he had dealt enough damage, the Void Butterfly might be able to understand his circumstance and push all out for a desperate attack.
“A moment of such a particular act of desperation is as shown on the screen right now.” The System said as it showed how Farasha exploded all its energy causing everything within its blast radius to disappear into nothingness.
It somehow gave the Void Butterfly a measure of peace until the System began furiously reconstructing everything from scratch as per Jin’s original blueprint and the cultivators were all teleporting in from their previous safe points. Also, the scene of rebuilding and rebirth eventually forced Farasha to turn mad, something which he never felt for a long time.
How could something so vastly simple, worthless keep popping up to annoy him? Everything should be under his control and he knows that there is no such thing as an unbreakable barrier. If the sky is limitless, then perhaps what he had to do is to break the earth until he found the leak, the crack of this particular barrier he was in.
“Yeah, I see what you mean. No time to sit idly, the cultivators have their fill of fun. We will reward them according to our usual WARE standards.” Jin said as he started to ping all his monsters that were available.
“However, I feel that my minions should have some get go from this monster since he is going to join their ranks soon enough,” Jin said and Lynn agreed as well that an exercise out of the norm would be great to break their monotonous schedule in preparation for the Great Demon Rat War.
“In that case, we shall enter first, I have some payback to do for this monster,” Lien said as he finally felt unafraid now that he knew he would be resurrected within the dungeon instance. “Not to mention, we got to get Rong out of the hospital bed as soon as possible or he will be slacking.”
Thus, the rest of the Demon Exorcists bid their goodbye to Lynn as they entered the fray before Jin could assemble his army of minions to attack Farasha.
