Chapter 1264 – Farasha -Part 8

“TRANSFORM!” Jin shouted as he already took out his System Belt and transformed into the System Rider despite the field being littered with his customers suffering from the attacks.

This time, he merged with Priest Savant, a decently high level adventurer from the Dungeon World who had been turned into a sentient robot. Almost a replica of the Priest Savant in terms of looks, the only difference was Jin’s headgear with a wider visor that was a signature to the System Rider. Other than that, its cloth like armour had been duplicated fully with the power of the living metal, making it a few times stronger than the one the Priest Savant had been using. At the same time, the System had popped up a screen right in front of Jin and it was only with the fusion of the Priest Savant did he realise the plethora of skills at his disposal.

“I should be experimenting more with these Savants into the System Rider!” Jin said as he pulled out Priest Savant’s unique staff, one that had been decorated with gems of unknown origins, making it already powerful the moment he held on to it. 

“Area Cleanse!” Jin shouted as poured his Maqi through the staff and cast the magic spell without any further hesitation. Most of the Pandarens were able to feel their lungs and body to be somewhat lighter as if a heavy curse had been lifted off their body. It was then, Jin shouted at them to purchase a portable oxygen tank in order to continue the fight.

Seeing how the dungeon supplier was able to lift the terrible affliction from the Pandarens, Farasha did not hesitate to use the same skill once more to inflict the same side effects against them. But this time with a slight twist in his attack pattern.

Unfortunately, the Void Butterfly did not know that Jin’s System Rider capabilities to support the entire batch of Pandarens were off the charts. The moment Farasha tried to shoot the scatter beams from his butterfly wings, Jin had to cast a large protective dome barrier around himself. The Pandarens instinctively retreated into the dome to hide from the deadly effects of the scatter beams.

However, with Farasha adding a new element of a void explosion within his scatter beam attack pattern, the barrier was easily broken upon absorbing a few hits. Yet that was enough for the Pandarens to make a coordinated effort to conjure a counter attack within the barrier. Those that were well versed in the element of the wind, had already teamed up to build up a gust of wind similar to how a cyclone was generated. The moment, the barrier Jin was offering had dissipated from the void explosions, the cyclone was used to deflect the dust particles generated from the scatter beams as well as slowing and divert the scatter beams trajectory. 

This enabled Jin to create another barrier albeit a little smaller but more concentrated with Maqi to deal with the remaining scatter beams. It then allowed the rest of the Pandarens to charge their chi for the next attack.

“Any chance I get to pilot the Mecha-taur again?” Bu Dong questioned Jin as he was charging his chi. He was shameless to ask such a question when Jin was busy trying to keep them alive. “Also, this suit is goddamn slick, how the hell did you even have the resources to create such an exclusive armour.”

“Just focus on charging your chi!” Deng Long knew this was not the right time to ask such questions.

“I get to be the superhero in my own instance, isn’t that wonderful? Also, Supa Robot Wars did release a notification that they will be having a major patch soon, right? Look forward to it.” Jin did not say much afterwards as he too needed to concentrate on moving to phase two the moment he saw the Pandarens charging for the attack.

Even without any extra communication among him and his clients, Jin knew that Farasha still had a few tricks under his proverbial sleeve and he was required to protect his Pandarens if they wished to do a proper counter attack. The only problem was whether the counterattack would be useful against it.

If he had played enough games in the past, butterflies and dust particles were not entirely new concepts. The past few attacks might have something to do with inhalation of those dust particles but what if Farasha had an attack pattern where all the dust particles needed were to be in contact with the enemy’s skin? Paralysation or even acidic particles that melt the cultivators were possible.

Alternatively, he could change into another Savant that specialised in major firepower like how Peppers do stuff and capture Farasha but that would not be exciting for the Pandarens as a WARE event. To keep the excitement up while not spoon feeding them and limiting the resources wasted was a pain in the ass for Jin. He should have just teleported the Void Butterfly in an isolated instance and deal with it.

“Just an update, the reception for this WARE has been overwhelmingly positive. More Pandarens are trying to gain access to the current instance but the System has placed a cap to reduce further casualties. Your opinion on the current situation?” It was as if the System knew what Jin was thinking once again and leaving him in a bigger dilemma. 

“Ignore them for now. If this counter attack fails, kick those who died and bring in fresh blood.” Jin did not have much in his mind other than focusing on getting this counter attack right. 

“Very well, the System will place them in a queue as of this moment.” The System replied and via the Pandamonium App, it immediately placed a notification to wait for their turn with an extra warning sign that the WARE event might be ending soon. Some of the excited Pandarens had the mood went down a notch but they continued to hope that they would be able to take part in the event. 

What they can do now was to watch how the counterattack unfold happening right in their phone screens.
