The Pandamonium Forums were once again buzzing with activity with the sighting of the new monster that had emerged in the store instance. Many who had just entered Jin’s store via the entrance had also been given the option to enter the instance else they would be teleported to a safer one.
Jin also believed that the teleportation of Farasha into his system’s territory would severely improve the chances of the policemen and their fellow support team to clear the convention building out.
As much as he wished to see this whole fiasco through and through, his objective of aiding the police had been completed. What’s more, he had arrived in time to save his employees…well most of them. Farasha can wait as his cultivators play with him for now and it also allows the System to analyse this particular specimen which it does not have much information on. Even Peppers who was well known to have surveyed a multiverse full of monsters had arguably little to no information on the void monsters. Their appearances were too rare for official records and thus they would have time on their side to dissect the information.
“The System had successfully blocked the connection between Void Butterfly Farasha and its source of energy. User may continue to proceed with the situations he is in or come into the store instance and finish Farasha as soon as possible.”
“Let me tie some loose knots before returning. After all, I got to show who’s the boss in my very own store instance, right?” Jin said as he saw the battered few Demon Exorcists being demoralised by the loss of their companion.
“Guys, cheer up. At the very least, you had seen him going into the fray with swords blazing right? Well, I mean he did hold a hammer not a sword…” Jin tried to joke a little but it was pretty evident that their loss for their friend was deeper than he thought. That was when he told them to huddle closer so there were no ears listening in.
“Keep this quiet because there is nothing to worry about. He is still alive.” Jin said as he opened a System Channel among themselves and they could hear Rong complaining through the channel as he was being treated by Jin’s Panda Nurses. With shouts demanding the Panda Nurses to let him return to the battlefield, his concern for his teammates was the loudest. Upon hearing Rong’s usual complaints, Lian felt that the loss she felt had been mended and she eyed Jin with a bucket full of questions.
“I did not tell you guys everything so I will explain more about it when we return. For now, let’s head back and allow the police to deal with everything else.” Jin said as he drop the dimensional instance that was surrounding the hall they were in and a team of elite policemen started to enter the premises. They were under the orders to standby by Kong Rong and only to charge in when Jin’s wards were down.
“Master Jin, are you okay?” One of the SWAT leaders asked as the rest attempted to secure the perimeters. “We detected extreme chi signatures and decided to buff up the team before entering.”
“Ah no wonder the heavy police presence compared to just now. The dungeon supplier who created this mess helped me to deal with this. Please tell Kong Rong to have some mercy on him because I want him.” Jin said as he went closer and whispered the location of the dungeon supplier. Because of his dimensional instance surrounding the entire convention hall, Jin knew the location of almost every single individual within the room.
The only problem was that he had no idea who was who with the exception of the Demon Exorcists, the dungeon supplier since his chi was painted on his dimensional instance and a new old acquaintance, Ryuli. The information he provided to Kong Rong was vital as he personally entered the battlefield to meet up with his fellow tutee.
“I will pass the message to him but no guarantees on the condition of the product once we found him.” The SWAT leader acknowledged Jin’s request considering not just his title as the new Panda Lord but the person who had inadvertently flipped this entire situation to their favour. (However, it was more of the former including his relations to Kong Rong. Prestige and titles do help in situations like this.)
“Milk, Peppers. Let’s go. Stop lying there as if you take a major blow for the team.” Jin said as he could see the two non blood related sisters slacking at the side and pretending to be the injured personnel so that the SWAT team could assist them out. “Wake up and let’s get going. Those Cultivators could only do so much against the Void Monster.”
“Bleh, Master is such a slave driver.” Peppers said as she stood up with Milk assisting her.
“I know I am getting rusty but can you assign me to an easier battle next time?” Milk complained as she pulled Pepper’s huge ass up (not figuratively speaking) while healing her with her powers.
“No complaints, let’s go,” Jin said as they were taking the long way home now that the police had arrived. Even though no suspicions would be roused if they were to teleport right in front of them, Jin would like to have some rest too. The creation of the portal magic was usually assisted by the System but this time around, the dungeon supplier had done it by himself because the System was busy reinforcing the store instance in order to make sure that it was ready for the upcoming mini event. Now that Farasha had been trapped in Jin’s store instance and cultivators of all grades were trying to have a piece of it, the System did not mind Jin taking the long road back home.
“We would like to help with the fight too.” Su Zhen said while the rest nodded in silence.. All Jin could do in response was to smile ever so slightly as approval to their request.
