Farasha - Part 7
Just as Farasha was beaten to a pulp, Jin came in time as if to steal the spotlight from Kraft and the other Pandawans. "Your timing is as impeccable as ever. It feels as if you are merely coming here to deal the finishing blow and run away to do with your business." Kraft said and Jin suddenly had a chill running down his spine.
"Are you… going to oppose me right now?" The Dungeons and Panda store owner asked his employee who was working at the moment, in plain sight of their customers to view.
"Hmm? Oh no. If you think that was a threat, it was not. Just a passing remark, a casual comment." Kraft laughed as he patted Jin's shoulders. "After all, I am still an employee of this store. Fighting amongst each other would not do any good in terms of publicity, right?" Kraft spoke softly but still audible enough for Jin to hear despite the background noise of Pandarens fighting against Farasha. Kraft felt that his job was more or less done now that Jin was around to take over his portion and he was about to leave.
"But let me warn you. That Void Being? It felt like he was being conservative with his attacks as if he was waiting for someone." Kraft said as he took a deep breath before he shouted.
"GUYS! YOUR BOSS IS HERE TO PLAY WITH YOU ALL!" Kraft said as he then waved his hand and disappeared in thin air after he announced to everyone that Jin was around. It was then Farasha perked up. The person who he had been waiting for all this time finally arrived.
Even though Kraft's chi sharing had stopped, his chi enhancements to the Pandarens were still active but the next attack which Farasha unleashed was something that even the current chi barriers that Kraft bestowed them with were useless. The Void Being instantly unleashed another void wave explosion sending anyone that was unprepared to defend it be decimated almost instantaneously.
Jin was able to defend in time and realised what Kraft had been hinting at. Even though Kraft had volunteered himself, he was merely
But the drastic increase in power from Farasha was uncalled for as the System had been recording lower values than what had been portrayed the moment Jin had arrived.
"You are finally here to show your face, caster!" Farasha shouted as he stood on his short alligator legs and the wings on his back glowed tremendously bright. It was pretty apparent he was holding it out for Jin to appear as his butterfly wings started to shoot out scatter beams all over where Jin was standing.
It did not take a genius to avoid all those beams considering that Jin was a high level cultivator but it was the aftermath that caused him to be wary as the beams suddenly dispersed into a fog of dust.
Immediately after the attack, Farasha swung his wings and a gust of wind blew the thick clouds of dust throughout the entire battlefield. Jin did not know what it was but instantly created a bubble of air around him. He believed he had read too much into attack although eventually, the Dungeon Supplier was correct. Everyone who did not hold their breath in time started to cough violently while others started to spasm.
The System recognised the dust particles were poisonous in nature and noticed that Farasha already knew how to stop the other Pandarens in their tracks. A swift death only meant that they would return with renewed vigour but a slow death would hinder them.
Even if they were to kill themselves, the air had now been polluted with its poisonous dust particles, making suffering the first thing they encountered. "If this is how you wish to fight, then so be it," Jin said as he already had a handy tool within his storage watch. A portable oxygen tank meant for diving purposes.
He had already modified it to be combat ready so that it did not weigh as much as it would, but that also meant that the tanks have a limited capacity. Still, that was not an issue as he had a few in his storage watch. (Not to mention, he is currently in his own store instance.)
"System, put that oxygen tank to the front of the shop app. Make the first purchase as a complimentary gift for sticking with us in this WARE event. Discounted price for the subsequent purchases only for those people who are in this event." Jin said while he braced a second wave of scatter beams coming his way. He believed that even if he blocked the attacks to reduce the places where the scatter beams would land, the after burst dust clouds could potentially kill him and that is one thing he could not do even though he is the dungeon supplier of this Dungeons and Panda store. The Void Butterfly unknowingly found one of the ways to kill Jin in his own domain.
But that is assuming that Jin was still around in his store instance. The only problem is that his customers might spread rumours about how Jin could have potentially increased the difficulty of the WARE after artificially decreasing it with Kraft's appearance. Still, it's not worth the risk of staying around, especially when death is looming around the corner.
"Eh, you know, you could always transform. That should save you more than enough trouble dealing with him." Lynn spoke through the System channel while she was staring at her darling in dilemma, giggling at how confused Jin was in his particular predicament.
"Oh right, but I never transformed in front of them before. Won't that be a problem?"
"Have you forgotten that this instance is yours and yours only?"
That was when Jin decided to not care too much and did as Lynn had suggested. After all, having a System Rider on was like a layer of comfort and protection.. (As well as more power.)
