Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset B5 | Chapter 45

Alexia

Huh…

I guess my worries were unnecessary.

But… what am I looking at?

I can’t help but frown after entering a massive cavern inside the monster’s body. One that is practically the size of an entire planet.

It took what I’m guessing is probably several months just to get here, but this is absolutely not what I was expecting.

On top of the fact that it’s a planet-sized cavern full of monsters, it also has so sort of moon floating at the center of the cavern. With an imnse amount of energy flooding outwards from the moon to fill the cavern.

And the energy in the cavern itself seems to be forming more monsters every second.

I narrow my eyes at the incredibly powerful monsters flooding the cavern. Then at the moon that most likely houses the true body of the boss.

Fortunately for , there are plenty of places to hide in this cavern. Considering its size and all.

So before doing anything else, I teleport straight to a good hiding spot in the cavern. Using it to recover my energy as much as I can.

After I finish recovering, I teleport right next to the moon and try to pierce it with my polearm. Only for said polearm to bounce off without leaving a scratch.

Yeah, part of kind of expected that would happen. The thing is Ascendant Tier, after all.

In that case, I have one of two options.

First would be to find a weakness in the moon and break through it.

And the second option is the more likely one. Using all of the powerful monsters in this cavern to charge up my strong attacks. Which will take a bit of work, but is very possible.

The monsters are fighting each other in here for so reason. Probably to grow stronger or sothing.

And Observation Effect Absorption doesn’t require attacks to be directed at for to absorb energy from them. I just have to observe attacks in general.

So I do just that. I sit in a corner hidden away from the monsters and watch the monsters fight and eat each other. All while more monsters replace the dead ones.

Once in a while, so monsters spot and begin to turn their attacks onto . But I avoid them easily enough by teleporting to the other side of the cavern.

Fortunately for , my teleportation isn’t stunted in here since I can see the entire cavern. Unlike the tunnels.

And just like that, ti slowly passes as I build up an enormous amount of power.

All the way until I feel like I have more than enough power for another Ascendant level attack.

Then I teleport next to the moon again, pull out my polearm, then use up all of the energy stored away by both Observation Effect Absorption and Quantum Vampirism at once while swinging the polearm. Making an enormous blast of energy coat and shoot out from the blade of my polearm right at the moon.

The resulting explosion sends flying straight through multiple monsters to slam into the wall of the cavern, killing the monsters I blast through and cracking the cavern walls in the process. But when I revert the damage to myself and focus on the moon, I find myself grinning a little.

Because, while the moon wasn’t split open or anything, it does at least have massive cracks running across its surface from which more energy is being spilled out into the cavern. Forming even more monsters in the process.

Okay, not bad. I can probably break it open with one more strike.

My eyes suddenly widen when I feel as if the energy in the moon itself is turning its attention to . And the monsters all begin to turn towards as well.

Shit.

I teleport away when a round of hundreds of different attacks all fire off straight at where I was. Then I begin teleporting over and over again to avoid the attacks of the monsters in the area.

The only bright side is that the monsters are all hitting each other as well. And the ones that get hit are temporarily turning their attention to each other to hit back.

So whatever the boss is doing to control them isn’t absolute at the very least.

Still. This is getting dangerous.

So of the monsters’ attacks manage to hit , forcing to waste energy to reverse the damage. My Reaper’s Blade is also repeatedly being destroyed before repairing it as I use the thing to block attacks.

Honestly, I think the only reason I’m even surviving at this point is thanks to my Cloak of Souls. Which is absorbing the souls of the monsters dying here and turning them into soul energy for to recover with.

And the only reason that’s possible is because the monsters are still killing each other even while targeting .

I continue teleporting around the area while occasionally having to use the energy I’ve built up from Quantum Vampirism and Observation Effect Absorption to heal, making sure to use less than I’m gaining as I do so. All the way until the wave of energy coming from the moon begins to decrease in density. And a lot of the monsters turn their attention away from .

Finally giving ti to relax a little bit.

I take a deep breath the mont I teleport into another crevasse within the cavern. Then I return to gathering energy.

More ti passes before I gather enough energy again and teleport straight to the moon. Slashing my Reaper’s Blade once more into the center of the cracks while releasing all of the energy at once.

And just like the last ti, a massive explosion shakes the entire cavern to its core. Sending flying through monsters into the cavern wall again.

But unlike the last ti, the sound of sothing massive cracking and breaking apart also fills the cavern along with the explosion.

And when my vision cos back to with the fading light of the explosion?

I find the moon now wide open, revealing the true body of the boss whose form honestly kind of gets on my nerves.

Because it’s a fucking piranha.
