815 A Slippery Beast!
“What the heck is going on here?!” Just as I arrived at the location of the first beast, I saw a scene that I never expected to see.
The place was inside the big basin in between mountains. It was a very vast place inside, enough to suit millions of forces, even tens of millions even.
The basin was already filled with my forces, but it seemed they were facing a little problem.
[What happened here exactly?] I sent asking everyone, literally everyone, about the explanation about that.
[This is what I wanted to ask you about… How the hell did you manage to kill that beast you met before?] The jumper was sent in such a way that made me not know if I should laugh or cry.
[I didn’t kill it, I just turned it on our side] I sent, [But… How the hell did that happen?]
[When we started to attack, it went all the way to the sky. We tried to use the weapons you provided for us to kill aerial monsters and enemies, but it kept flashing until it turned out this way]
The jumper words described the situation best.
What was I seeing right now? That beast moved into midair, and it didn’t stop since going there. It turned into a series of afterimages, flashing from one point to a faraway one, while all the attacks coming at it couldn’t even scratch its body at all.
The beast that was sitting like an idle duck was now moving like it was a ray of light! If this keeps on, it should be impossible to kill it.
[Let me go up there and try something] I sent to all, [stop attacking now]
“Stop attacking!”
“Stop now!”
“Hand down soldiers!”
Shouts started to spread from different places, while the massive armies here stopped trying to hit that bastard up there.
One point worthy of note is that the number of my forces was so damn huge, but the ones that could attack that beast in the air were much smaller than that.
I looked at that beast which reminded me of how damn fast I moved with my sacrifice speed boost from before.
There were two options right now in front of me. Either I’d wait and let that beast exhaust its energy and stop its ability, or find a way to force it to stop.
The first option seemed like the better one, but it wasn’t practical. After all my forces were fighting it for hours now without any progress.
It gave me the impression that this beast wasn’t like the one I fought before. I didn’t know why, but this one had a better grasp over this teleportation ability.
It wasn’t teleportation like that talkative guardian baby did, it was just moving too damn fast. It might be considered a lower grade ability, but it was much more effective thanks to the mastery of this beast over it.
So I had to think about a way to stop it.
Should I go back and try to boost my speed again? I looked at that speed of the beast and knew even having such speed wouldn’t help.
I wanted to ground, not to kill it! My forces here didn’t have a piece of that bastard yet. If I went up there and killed it, things wouldn’t bode well to my forces.
So the only option I had was to go up there and smash directly against that beast. Facing my chariot’s shield wouldn’t be a problem.
I checked and the storage of stat points there was enough to sustain such a battle. Yet I took lots of crystals out and placed them in the heart of my chariot.
And then I went high in the air, towards that beast.
“Son of b*tch!” but just when I went towards it, the beast suddenly changed its pattern.
It was keeping its area of movement in a fixed zone. But when I came, it started to fly away, directly away from me and from this basin.
Damn bastard! It was just toying with us and not actually showing its real abilities.
“Trying to run? Humph! Thundering Might!”
The first thing I used was my pillar to seal its escape route. The pillar expanded and a shield instantly covered an area beyond what this beast could move to.
*Bang!*
And just like a rock hitting a wall, that beast slammed heavily against my shield and couldn’t even make it budge an inch. It hit it and the next thing happened was for my second technique to arrive.
“Go down there,” I controlled my thick arms and instead of penetrating its body, I held it tightly before throwing it all the way back from where it started.
*Fwoosh!*
Yet just before it could arrive to the ground, that beast regained its composure and returned to move towards the sky again.
“This is fun!” I laughed, knowing that such a beast would retain some intelligence, enough to push it over the edge of wrath.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
Our little fight continued for hours! I kept chasing it, slamming its heavy body back to the centre of the basin each time it slammed against my shield.
It tried to go through different directions, even went all the way towards the maximum point in my shield, trying to get through that little dome up there.
But when he went there, he was met at last with my chariot and its shield.
And this wasn’t all.
“Intimidating Roar!”
“Crushing Wave!”
I held my pillar first, puffed out my chest and roared. A cone shaped sound wave attack landed over the incoming beast.
This roar was a skill I never used from my pillar. I never needed to stun someone or something before. But right now that beast finally fell over my trap.
I knew that my shield was sturdy enough to contain it here, but it got a single opening in the middle up there.
