Each and every cultivator that was present in the shop instance were all charged up and with Jin’s signal, all of the Pandarens stormed out of the cyclone that was blocking the view of the Void Butterfly and went straight towards him. And Jin’s signal was no ordinary one as he shot out a blast of shining light with the literal words “charge” in Chinese, enabling each Pandaren to rush out with hope and a dash of optimism that they could finally kill the Void Being.
All of them were unleashing their very own unique cultivation techniques against the enormous crocodile standing on its hind legs. Farasha did not stay still as he attempted to move out of the way of the attacks. But as the analogy goes, many red ants could also bring down a mighty elephant. The cultivator attacks were emboldened by the fact that each and every one of them was once more being protected with a ‘chi’ barrier created by Jin. Not many of the cultivators knew that the barrier was made with a mixture of chi and magic powers as they all assumed Jin was a cultivator and not a mage.
Thus, Farasha’s retaliation was not less of an issue than Jin had expected it to be. The Cultivators took the WARE event very seriously and fiercely countered the Void Butterfly to the best of their abilities by avoiding all possible scatter beams and timing their attacks so that their cultivation techniques could be enhanced through the fusion of their teammates’ efforts.
It was like how Bu Dong and Deng Long had done a combination technique which they had been practising during their downtimes for Supa Robot Wars and it paid off when Deng Long’s wombat air strikes deflected Farasha’s scatter beams and Bu Dong followed up with his fire sword techniques imbued with the power of the Angry Ape.
These small but consecutive attacks were somewhat effective in putting the Void Butterfly in his place and even a desperate wave of void explosion from Farasha had been mitigated by Jin’s Priest Savant form. He was honestly not expecting the Priest Savant form to be so effective that it almost put his priest bellator to shame. (Although to be fair, she did not like being a priest as much as she was being a battle monk.)
“Master, you do know that I feel offended by your comments.” Milk appeared almost instantaneously the moment Jin had protected everyone from another wave of the void explosion.
“What? But I did not say anything!” Jin suddenly felt that the System had been leaking his thoughts out to Milk.
“What do you mean you did not say anything. When you blatantly present your skills like that, it already offends me. I can feel it in my bones that you are implying what a terrible priest Bellator I had been, that you could not trust to call me to do this job for you!!” Milk pouted.
At that point in time, Farasha who never took his eyes away from Jin immediately saw how he dropped his guard trying to argue with the lady next to him. And so, he instantly shot out a black ray of intensive energy beam towards Jin which eventually became smaller and thinner, as if to avoid detection.
Unfortunately, its sneak attack had been blocked by a wide sheet of energy barrier which Milk had already set up the moment she sensed something was off. It was then she boasted how she was still useful. However, what they did not expect was that the void beam did not stop. It started to tunnel through the energy barrier which now brought some attention to the arguing parties.
“Stupid butterfly crocodile or whatever. Can’t you see I am trying to have a conversation with my master?” Milk said as she then turned the sheet of energy into a U shape horseshoe and the beam suddenly attenuated and was reflected back to Farasha himself, causing a large void explosion on his wings.
To their surprise, the attack was extremely effective and this was the first recorded major damage the System had witnessed. All of them came to the conclusion that the Void Monsters’ weakness was their own powers. Without any hesitation, the cultivators took the opportunity to hit the injured pair of wings seeing that there was some sort of black blood oozing out of the area.
“System, can you create Void Energy?” Jin asked but the System was unable to comply as it needed the Void Being to be captured for it to analyse how the Void Energy works. “If that’s the case, I will try to pretend to learn it,” Jin said as he was hoping the training in Suzaku’s Endless Battlefield could allow him to imitate it in some way against the Void Being.
To everyone’s surprise, including the person who attempted it was shocking to learn that Jin was indeed capable of producing some form of Void Energy, especially when the Panda Silhouette was cultivating some sort of black hole with his bare hands. (while wearing a pair of translucent butterfly wings and a fake crocodile tail which was hanging loosely at his waist)
However, it was somehow taking a toll on his Maqi accumulation which should never happen given that he was currently in the System Rider form as the System was also helping Jin to assimilate his chi energies through his entire body. “Wow, it’s not as pitch black as the one the Void Being had used, but I could feel the similarities oozing from it.” Milk said as she stood one step away to ensure not to get caught in the crossfire.
Farasha saw what was happening and could not believe his eyes. “A mere insect is able to create void energy?! Even though it’s impure, the evidence of void energy is indisputable!” Farasha said and knew that if the caster was able to create void energy, there might be a chance that Farasha would die permanently especially now when he has no access to his own personal void source.
Hence, the panic.
Thinking that he has to conserve some energy for a prolonged fight, Farasha now abandons all possible recourse and decides to focus his entire reserve of energy to stop the caster from completing his void energy spell. However, if he does that, Farasha needs to ignore all the other cultivators and spend his concentration on just Jin alone.
For the threat of a Human Void Mage could potentially be dangerous to the existence of all Void Beings.
