chapter-858
One might wonder why Jin had not used the forest itself to power the Banishment Ritual. Cultivators from the ancient times did not have any shame in using the chi around them to power their techniques up after all.
Even Grandma Yuan who had executed her Gleaming Thunder of the Golden Griffin utilised the ambient chi particles around her to do so. Of course, she also abused the System's ring for the majority of the actual execution but taking from the surroundings was equally important. The amount of chi she and her Golden Griffin exuded was excessive, and it did not hurt to take some back as part of a 'recycle' process.
However, in Jin's case, that was different. His Maqi was particularly unique because it contained both chi and magic essence within it. Before he could take back the Maqi he emitted from the air to 'recycle', it had already assimilated perfectly into the surroundings. The trees and ground around him already took in his aura as part of their cultivation process and gave out their chi in return.
Jin could not take in any of those chi energies since the Banishment Ritual was created with both chi and mana. Too much of one property would definitely cause an imbalance in the Banishment Ritual's power. Sure, there were mana emissions from certain trees, but it was insufficient to turn over since the land was predominantly chi energy-related, not to mention Jin had never received any training in manipulating those mana channels.
Without the suit, Jin would have long since bled out to the death. Not even offering up his Dantian core would have been enough for this Banishment Circle because of the control he needed from spamming the Dark Sludge Crystals. Being barely alive was quite an accomplishment for a Grade 8 Peak, and as Jin fell to the ground after completing the Banishment Circle, Kraft took over."While it is slightly shameful for me to use something you so painstakingly created, I have no choice. Peppers, I'll need your help too." Kraft said as Peppers smacked yet another Bone Spirit Infused Demon into the portal.
"Can't you see I am busy?! Unless you are telling me that I finally get to Boom Boom now?!" Peppers shouted excitedly.
"Something like that. Insert your boom magic, but delay it until it gets banished back to its own realm. That way, we can be sure that it will not come back to bite us in the future." Kraft explained that he wanted to use Peppers' magic as insurance.
With a title such as the Unceasing Hunger, there was no saying what the manifestation would do after it met up with its original body. Best case scenario? It would either meet its demise within Hell's Plane. Worst case scenario? It would manage to strengthen itself, crossing over the borders once more and disrupt the peace in Jin's world with an even stronger army while it was out for revenge.
"Awww yes. One Super Duper Mega Booomz coming right up!" Peppers immediately set her defences by taking control of three Bone Spirits Infused Demons and dominated their minds to defend her at all cost. "I actually have something prepared since I had to dial down the previous two attempts in explosions. But since it's for insurance, I would like some time to juice it up. Should be up before it gets banished!"
"Hurry up. The rest of the Horde does not seem in the mood to be waiting patiently." Kraft hurried her along as he hadn't missed that Mr Know-It-All had secretly protected them with his Dragon Wave Barrier. Unfortunately, there were way too many monsters rushing through so it was unavoidable that a number of them slipped through the 'cracks' of the barrier rather easily.
Kraft aimed his Just Business and No Mercy to the ground and immediately fired a round each from his respective guns, causing the Banishment Ritual circle to light up even further.At that moment, the monster producing factory got dragged towards the circle despite its resistance. Even with its colossal size, there seemed to be an invisible force that continued to pull it towards the centre of the Banishment Circle, running over multiple monsters that it had just produced.
The irony was that it did not stop creating those monsters out of its orifices because of the last command that the late Banned Emperor Summoner had given it. Without a mastermind controlling its action, the manifestation could only act on instinct. It was grabbing random monsters to eat and replenish its strength, causing it to slowly evolve because of the resistance the monsters put up.
Yet, it was still helpless against the unstoppable pull from the Banishment Circle. As the name suggested, the circle was meant to banish the colossal manifestation Loopa Ooofpa out of this world. It was a technique Dark Templar Leader Zieg had perfected after a failure he previously suffered in pursuit for more power.
At the time, the young Zieg had nearly killed the entire squad under him because of the insufficient control he had over the demon he attempted to summon. Similar to Grandma Yuan, he regreted the incident very much but unlike her, he did not have the luxury of being able to suffer in shock. His organisation's hierarchy did not give him any time to mourn not recover.
All he could do was to focus his energy into righting the wrong he had done. Since then, Zieg vowed not to have it happen ever again and he had achieved it by studying up on how to banish those demons back to the nether realms in case such a situation would occur again. He never expected it to be used as a combat skill since it took a long period of time to prepare the ritual.
For System Rider Dark Templar Form to complete it in under 15 minutes was a significant accomplishment in Zieg's eyes since he usually took hours to make it. And even with its completion, he later had to lure the demon to it without making it suspect anything else.
But make no mistake, the Banishment Ritual had to be specific to that particular demon alone. Else they would be pulling every single Bone Spirit Demon into it as well, and that would take a hell lot of prepared resources especially the Maqi Jin placed,rendering the ritual to be useless against the Loopa Ooofpa.
Thus, they were fortunate enough to have learned the true name of the demon. The Bone Spirit Infused Demons that were captured earlier also had some of Loopa Ooofpa's cells and residue on it, making it even easier for the System to enhance the Banishment Circle's power level.
Once the Banishment Circle had been activated, there was no way of dispelling it unless the caster stopped it… or perished. But with luck on their side, their Banned Emperor Summoner had self-sacrificed himself for one final push. It's too bad that he did not know there was a person with a System that would stand in their way even after his death.
Soon, the Loopa Ooofpa had been pulled to the centre of the Banishment Circle, desperately trying to get even more power by consuming the Monster Horde around it and could only hope that it would break free from it.
Sadly it would not be that simple with Kraft at the helm of the situation.
