"What the fuck is that?!" was the first question that popped into my head when I saw that sixty-ter-tall creature blasting through the door as if it was made of paper foil.
This thing's size wasn't the only thing scary about it, it was the fact that it had multiple characteristics of all the rakshasa we have seen before. The arms of a Brute and the cleavers of a White. The mixed skull structure of both a Black and a Silver rakshasa.
Why is it out? Wasn't this thing trapped inside the cube made by the forr King? How did it manage to leave its prison?
All of these questions needn't be answered now, for the mont we have to get the hell out.
"RUN! HURRY!" I shouted. Everyone legged it as if hell itself was on their heels while my puppets imdiately began jumping at the incoming fiend.
They climbed up its fra stabbing at it with sword and claw, and shot at it with everything in their arsenal.
The creature shrugged off the bullets as if they were made of beans while the swords bent or shattered against its hard skin.
Void stage-level puppets were getting crushed and smashed around as the creature moved up the stairs.
The creature wasn't planning on stopping anyti soon, it made it halfway through the stairs when we barely made it to the door. But the door was on a tir and we needed thirty seconds before it could close.
If this thing gets out, shit will get ugly. It's strong enough to break out of the Thunder Domain and begin hosting and assimilating even more of its kind into the beyond. An outbreak of these things would recreate what happened to Solaris the ho of Tong Yao the current Queen.
"It mustn't leave! " I heard through my divine sense, it was Tong Yao's worried voice. Though these things had already destroyed her ho, she wouldn't want the sa to happen to other worlds.
"How the hell did it even get out in the first place?!" I questioned.
"I don't know! My father had sealed it first, it should have several binding chains all over its body preventing it from moving even inside the cube."
I didn't have ti to deduce what happened. So I snapped my neck toward Dao Shen and the rest.
"Go out first!" I called out, "And don't use your Qi when you're outside! The thunder is still unstable!"
My head turned back to the incoming Rakshasa. Rage was displayed in my expression as I slapped both hands together in a powerful prayer motion. The band holding my hair snapped as it fluttered along my clothes all over in a shockwave.
"True and False! Domain of Delusions!" was spoken as if it was the decree of a deity upon the land.
Imdiately, a wave of darkness flew out all around , creating a giant do where only I rule. The laws of physics were reversed and all that I command within my domain can only be true.
The incoming creature was trapped inside the domain and began walking back, but it didn't even take it a fraction of a second before it started moving forward again.
My nose began bleeding as I realized that this fucker understood the base of my Domain in less than a second and is now reversing all of its actions.
It ca at with an open claw aiming to rip my existence itself out of the world.
"Illusion within Illusion!"
Imdiately my body morphed into a mirage and the already reversed world beca out of control. Gravity, pressure, and even air and friction were ssed up.
The creature's body was now in a strange state, gravity was ssed up around its feet, so had a higher gravitational pull, while others had no gravity applied to them whatsoever.
The notion of friction was removed, making it slip imdiately as it tried to take a step, and due to the low pressure and void of where we were right now, even its sound attack was rendered useless.
As I could see from how the beast opened its mouth wide, and its gullet was rippling, it must have wanted to blast out with a powerful sound wave but no sound could co out in a vacuum.
Seeing the weird domain that trapped it was not allowing it to move or act as it should was the last straw for the Noble Rakshasa.
Its exoskeletal body began shaking and two massive wings ripped out of its back. The wings had bones for fra and the thin fabric between them was a blue fluorescent color that shimred powerfully in the dark.
What looked like cracks but were simply the small spaces between its exoskeleton parts shined bright in the darkness and a powerful wave of… soul energy? Ruptured out.
Wait? Soul energy? How? How is that even possible?
More questions began filling my mind but I didn't have the ti to process them. Because the absurd amount of Soul Energy soon beca a divine sense and started shattering my domain. It felt as if it was made of eggshells as it broke and crumbled right in front of my eyes.
Blood shot out of my nose and mouth like a torrent as a mortifying wave of nausea assaulted .
Usually cultivators would bite on their tongues to wake themselves up from this situation, but I'm not a fan of body mutilation.
For this case I always carry a small pack of slling salts, that shit is so strong it can make even a Sun Stage cultivator wince.
My mind was shocked into waking up imdiately after as the fiend flew up forward, not sparing a single glace as it went past and toward the door.
"Look Its arms! It is still sealed but only partially!" the queen said.
"Why does that even matter?" I asked.
"The seal is only temporarily halted, it sohow managed to stop it for a mont. Once it is enabled it should manifest chains that will wrap and pull it back to the depth of the bastion. We need more ti."
Thunder bood outside as the skies turned darker and darker and thick lightning bolts began spiraling and coiling under the belly of the storm.
All I bought were a few precious seconds but I couldn't stop the Noble Rakshasa, it was going to leave the area soon and all hell would break out outside. And now I need even more ti. How am I going to do that, I couldn't even halt it for more than a few seconds nor was I able to tamper with its ti perception inside the Domain of Delusions.
Ti… ti… how to buy ti?!
The gears in my head began spinning at incredible speed as I saw the rakshasa almost at the exit.
An idea suddenly popped up in my mind.
I pulled my revolver and shot a bullet deeper into the bastion floor right at the foot of the staircase.
I held my hand up then twisted it, enabling the Heaven Swapping Ring by changing position between myself and the bullet that bounced.
I then slapped my holding bag pulling out tons of explosive canisters that I threw above .
In my vision the Noble Rakshasa was at the exit, it stood there and began screeching loud, enough that his voice increased to the extent that it could no longer be heard but now it was visible.
Its loud screech rippled and ripped the very fabric of space itself. It didn't leave the bastion yet but rely screech out loud at the doorway. Perhaps it was presenting itself to the outside world. That it had returned.
Though creepy and terrifying I was thankful for that, after all, it was arrogant enough to waste a few seconds at the exit of the Bastion.
Did it want to leave in style? Like hell if I'm going to allow that.
I raised my hand up and twisted it once more.
Before one would use their Qi, you can almost sense how much you'll be using. For example, my poison breath would make feel as if I breathed out until nothing was left in my lungs, a small tug of exhaustion that can easily be recovered.
The stronger the Qi usage the more powerful the initial perception would be. And here I was trying to force an entity that is far higher level than in cultivation to change position between myself and it. Forcing it out of the grasps and clutches of spatial law and bending them to my own will.
Let just say, that the cost made feel as if every blood cell in my body was wrenched out of my body at the sa ti.
But it had to be done. My hand fully twisted and the creature's entire body was transported into where I was when I appeared on the door. The last thing I saw was the confusion of the Noble Rakshasa as its body had been forced back into the bastion.
But that was it. Confusion only, no range or madness or even anger or a will to fight back. It was only a small bit of confusion, then a wide grin appeared on its freaky jaw.
As if saying… that it no longer mattered.
The seal on the Noble Rakshasa began manifesting in bright gold color before the cannisters that I had thrown a second earlier started exploding.
I was bucking over, almost falling back into the staircase when unexpectedly it was the Fire King who grabbed my by the robes and dragged out in one swing.
In that mont the massive door in front of suddenly shut down.
The door is shut… finally.
My mind couldn't keep up with the exhaustion and it soon began fading.
It's been a long ti since I lost consciousness… damn.
