Interdimensional Farming in Another World
128 Charred
Alex had devised a simple yet effective three-stage attack plan to dismantle Kain's protective rune shield. This task might have seemed impossible if he were alone, but with the aid of many strong warriors, Alex was confident in the success of his strategy.
In the first stage, Karthi and his protector took the lead, strategically distancing themselves from the group to avoid drawing Kain's attention.
They coordinated their efforts to launch a powerful energy attack at Kain's shield simultaneously. Although the energy attack could be reflected by the rune shield, they intended to force the shield to expend a significant amount of energy, thereby weakening it.
Without wasting a moment, Karthi and his protector swiftly executed the attack, aiming to drain as much energy from the shield as possible.
As anticipated, the shield glimmered with a silvery light as it deflected the energy assaults. The cumulative effect of these attacks reduced the shield's overall energy, leaving Kain vulnerable for a brief moment.
Seizing this opportune moment, Chitra capitalized on the weakened shield and unleashed a potent physical attack. The diminished energy in the runic shield made it unable to withstand the assault, resulting in the outer shell shattering, leaving Kain exposed to physical damage.
To Kain's surprise, the group of warriors before him exhibited remarkable analytical skills in discerning and exploiting his shield's weaknesses.
This outcome was beyond his expectations, evident from the widened eyes as he stared at the determined individuals confronting him.
Despite this setback, Kain remained undeterred. He knew he possessed another powerful ability - the capability to teleport away from danger. Within the confines of the hall, his mastery over the runic symbols granted him precise control, enabling him to effortlessly evade any impending threats.
Thus, he remained confident and unfazed by the broken shield, fully aware that he could reconstruct it with the mana he had amassed in a matter of seconds.
If given enough time, Kain could once again take refuge behind his protective shield, reassuming a secure position.
However, little did he know that the group of warriors had more tricks up their sleeves, and their determination to defeat him was unwavering. The battle was far from over.
Seeing Kain standing without any form of protection. The warriors present attacked to quickly end his life.
Alex was waiting patiently for this moment. The attack from the other three blazed towards Kain.
However, Kain disappeared before the attack could reach him.
"NOW," Alex screamed while activating his mana vision. He peered into the space around him to see the change in the density of the mana. He was trying to figure out the place where Kain would materialise.
Even if it was a space-related skill which was impossible to be seen. He could find the disturbance in mana to predict the location of Kain.
Due to the information Alex relayed, the group knew that Kain could teleport to avoid danger. So, the attack they launched was a feint to distract Kain. Hearing Alex call out, they quickly directed their focus towards the position Alex was pointing towards.
Promptly, they threw away any caution to attack the place with everything they have. In a battle of life and death, they had to be decisive. They had no time to think or regroup. If they could perform the task given to them, they knew that everything they had done would turn futile.
The energy attack that materialised like a giant drill was created by Chitra. Karthi launched an energy beam that quaked the space itself. And his protector created a giant fireball towards the location Kain was going to appear.
Three attacks merged, making it almost seem like a meteor entering Earth in a blazing fury.
Even before the spatial ripple materialised to let Kain out, the powerful surge of energy had already covered the location. The timing was just right that even Kain could not have predicted it.
Just as Kain materialised at the exact location Alex pointed at, he was greeted by the giant blazing meteor that was about to disintegrate his body. There was no time for him to respond or escape.
One could see the fear in his eyes when he saw the giant fireball just inches away from his face. Just the energy radiating from it was enough to blind him.
However, not even giving him any time to close his eyes, the giant fireball slammed into his body. The combined attack of the three warriors rained on him.
"BOOOOM." Like a nuclear explosion, the space quaked and a giant dust cloud rose from the point of impact. Just the shock wave was enough to throw the body of everyone to the side.
The exhausted body of the three warriors was forced to step away due to the strength of the shockwave.
Alex let out a relieved sigh while looking at the dust could.
"No one would emerge unscathed from that," he thought while peering into the dust cloud with mana vision. He had yet to notice any peculiarity, but he was almost certain that Kain was dead.
After all, it was a combined attack by two tier 4 warriors and a tier 5 warrior. Even tier 5 warriors would not escape unscathed from such an assault.
"Did we succeed?" Karthi asked, mustering the last bit of strength he had. Exhaustion overwhelmed him, leaving his body devoid of any energy, barely holding on.
He was the one who had destroyed the walls to make his way towards Alex, making him the most exhausted among the group. He hadn't even had any time to recover his energy yet. He wanted to quickly assess the enemy's condition before relaxing.
Chitra and the protector also peered into the dusty smoke, trying to find Kain's corpse. However, as they looked, they saw something rise from the blazing fire on the ground.
Half of its body was completely charred black, and tiny worm-like flesh squiggled on the outside. It had no hair, with tattered clothes covering the lower body. A giant gash could be seen right across its face, between its eyes. This being, resembling a monster from a horror movie, was none other than Kain.
The squiggly flesh was a regeneration spell trying to heal his body.
Although Kain was unable to dodge the attacks of Chitra and the protector, he had managed to barely avoid Karthi's attack, only sustaining an injury to his face. Otherwise, he would have lost his head due to the energy beam that contained the element of space.
Nevertheless, the damage sustained by his body was critical. He was at death's door. Even a gentle breeze could probably knock him down in his current situation.
"CRaa…" The corpse-like Kain suddenly turned his head towards the warriors surrounding him. His body creaked, and a painful cry escaped from his mouth. Even though he was blind, and steam was coming from his eyeballs, he accurately identified where his enemies were.
He slowly opened his mouth to say something.
However, he was unable to articulate any words from his destroyed vocal cord. Only the eerie visual of broken muscles and charred skin rippling was visible to the audience. Nonetheless, bearing through his pain, he mouthed something.
A chill went down everyone's spine as they saw it. Even now, after becoming a half-corpse, the man was threatening them.
"You will die," were the words Kain mouthed with his cracked lips. After that, his lips curled into a smile.
It was as if Kain couldn't feel pain, both mentally and physically, displaying the monstrous nature of his character. No one else in his place would have been able to maintain their sanity after enduring such an ordeal. Yet, he seemed unaffected, revealing his true dark and dangerous nature.
Alex quickly recognized the danger posed by this man. If Kain survived this day, he would become an unstoppable monster. Alex knew he had to act now to prevent such a catastrophic outcome.
With determination, Alex retrieved a silver spear from his inventory and aimed it directly at Kain, launching it like a lightning bolt towards the weakened body of his adversary. The spear streaked through the air, aimed straight at Kain's heart, with Alex certain that it would be fatal.
However, to his surprise, Kain didn't even flinch or attempt to dodge the incoming spear. Instead, an evil smirk spread across his face, showing he was completely unfazed by the threat.
'A moment of miscalculation has made me like this. It is time to pay them back,' Kain thought in his heart.
Just as the spear was about to pierce Kain's body, a being suddenly dashed forward and stood in front of him. With a swift motion, the being caught the spear between its thumb and middle finger, effortlessly stopping the projectile in its tracks.
Alex had thrown the spear with all his strength, but in the hand of this being, it looked like nothing more than a small needle. The being nonchalantly tossed the spear aside after intercepting it.
This being was none other than the single-horned mutant that had been devouring other mutants inside the underground maze. Now, it was protecting Kain, acting as a shield against Alex's attack.
"Hah…My perfect creation is here." With a cracking voice, the newly regenerated vocal cord, Kain said with a smile. He was slowly regaining his strength with each second.
