Chapter 288 Titan Knigh

With the Robotic Arachnid destroyed, each and every robot crawler stopped working. At the same time, the Titan Knight also ran out of juice and stopped shooting his laser beams. Jin made use of this opportunity he had been struggling for by forcing all ice tendrils to pierce the mechanical eyes and into the mainframe of the Titan Knight’s head. The Titan Knight bellowed as it tried to break the ice tendrils apart.

Jin finally let go of the Great Ice Wall he had maintained for quite some time. Exhausted, he fell to the ground along with Milk and Peppers. “Why does it feel like this scene is so familiar?” Jin experienced a déjà vu going through him, but he couldn’t care less with his fatigue hitting him hard on his head.

Separately, Moloch looked at the Titan Knight, who was furious at the loss of his creation and tried to ‘float’ towards the group of monsters that caused all this mess. Though it could no longer see them, he had other sensors making him able to perceive their location.

Moloch demanded everyone to sit down and to enjoy the show. Both Team Mino and Team Jacks were unaware what exactly was going on, but they listened to Moloch without question. In the meantime, Moloch commanded Sebastia and Yem to look after Jin and his bellators.

Sebastia, being the overall head of battle maids, had learned basic healing skills, though she could see that Jin, Peppers and especially Milk were all drained mentally rather than having physical wounds. She tried to cast a few healing spells but it was to no avail. It did however make sure that those 3 were still conscious and wouldn’t faint in the middle of the battle.

The Titan Knight could not compute why the group of monsters was not running away from him at all. Shouldn’t they run in the face of such perilous danger? Perhaps they finally comprehended that it was futile defying it. The logic cycle in the Titan’s brain did not care and continued to press forward in an attempt to annihilate the entire group.

However, as it tried to raise its arm, there was a loud explosive noise coming from within the Titan Knight. In an instant, the exploding noise was of a successive nature, of which some were visible for the group of monsters to see. The explosion of black fire was burning brightly especially through the crevices of the titan’s broken armour, causing it to be exposed for the monsters to exploit. Yet Moloch did not give any order, so the monsters just kept quiet and rested as they watched the titan fall to pieces.

The arm joints of the Titan Knight were thoroughly broken from the hidden explosives, and its coolant system could not keep up with so many fire incidents. The inability to cope with the fire enabled it to spread wildly throughout the entire body. The sword arm that it attempted to raise fell endlessly into the dark abyss as the pieces were brought down by the spread of fire.

The black Titan Knight roared but it could not do anything else since the robot crawlers were killed and its eyes have been pierced. There were other offensive tricks up its sleeve, but Jin had deposited a sufficient amount of spiral boxes inside of the Titan Knight to cripple it to the point of no return.

“If I might say, this is a 4 out of 10.” Peppers blurted out, as she was lying down on Sebastia’s leg. Jin who was unfortunately on Yem’s manly (and flurry not fluffy, mind you) lap pillow felt disappointed.

“But it’s the destruction that counts, isn’t it? I placed a lot of effort into it!” Jin tried to win back some more points from Peppers’ critical review of his explosions.

“Forget it Master. Peppers’ deduction is based on superficial results. I could feel the amount of concentration and effort when I channelled the chi energy into you.” Milk sneered while her eyes were still closed, lying on the ground. No male minotaur dared to touch her because…of them being reasonably sensitive to her…erm…body.

“Why you stupid two mountain full of fats, my results are definitely not superficial!” Peppers pouted as she tried to get up from Sebastia’s lap to kick Milk who was still lying on the ground. Yet Milk did not care, since she was too tired, as well as the fact that the force behind Peppers’ attack was more for show.

As the Titan Knight subsequently disappeared (also captured by the System), it brought the abyssal darkness to a stop, causing the two groups to clap and cheer at their victory. Some of the werejackals were thanking the minotaurs for protecting them as they cast the fireball. The minotaurs were a bit too prideful though they knew when a compliment should be given. If not for the werejackals impactful firestorm, they might still be swatting spiders. Some of the werejackals also went to console Niu Lang since Mechataur shut down after unleashing a full attack against the spider matriarch. Mechataur went into standby mode, and Niu Lang knew it would stay a scrap of metal until he fixed his friend. Others continued to congratulate for a job well done. Even Grey was one of them, as he walked towards Sebastia with his hand extended out.

“It was a decent fight.” Grey said with a bit of blush as he looked away into the distance, but Sebastia, who had forcefully returned Peppers to her lap, returned the handshake. “It was a so-so fight. Could’ve been better if you cast faster.” Sebastia taunted Grey and surprisingly he swallowed it well, took that as advice to improve better. Eventually, the walkway which initially crumbled down into the abyss returned back to normal, and the whole place was empty with the group’s laughter until they heard footsteps from afar.

Even though both the minotaurs and werejackals were tired from the previous fight, they would do anything to protect their current master. Claws up, horns to the front and yet… surprisingly it was actually Sandy and the rest of Team Enlightened, alongside the zombies.

Jin realised they all were laughing happily as if they had had a good time fighting together, making the minotaurs and werejackals slightly curious about what had happened. Surely nothing could trump the defeat of something like the titanic knight? Upon closer inspection, Jin discovered that Zeru was holding on to a relatively large colourful snail shell…?

“What are you holding there, Zeru?” Jin asked, a bit confused and Zeru laughed as he placed the shell down from his shoulders.

“It is a long story but…I think this could potentially be the defunct dungeon core and its master.” Zeru replied as he inserted his hand into the shell, pulling out a slug which seemingly was entangled with wires. Some of those may even have fused with it.

“Okay! Okay! Don’t pull me any more or I will die!!” The slug begged for forgiveness, but Zeru did not play along with him and tore off one of his wires, which caused him to wail in pain.

“I am sorry! I am sorry for creating trouble for you and your friends!” The slug continued to cry and tears of diamonds dropped from his tear ducts. The voice sounded a bit familiar, though Moloch was unable to recall where he heard it exactly.

“What kind of monster is this?” Jin asked and Moloch who took a closer look and realised it was something he saw before.

“Wait…aren’t you Duke Wolte? The once rumoured “Destroyer of Worlds”? …Well, towns actually, the demons loved to spread terribly bad rumours. I thought King Baal ordered your complete and utter annihilation? How did you even managed to be in here?” Moloch looked at the greenish looking slug with mutilated teeth around his rounded lips. The neon green slug demon who heard the word Wolte immediately looked up at the puppet.

“Viscount Moloch? Why…wait what are YOU doing here?! How dare you insult me when you yourself have been reduced to an ugly looking plushie! No that’s beside the point! Are you planning to take me down under the orders of King Baal! I will not stand down in this cas-ow ow ow ow!” Zeru threatened to pull more of its wires out of Wolte.

“It looks like this one has a story to tell too.” Moloch laughed as Jin felt another wave of Déjà vu coming through him once more.
