Chapter 418: Vol 9: The Fiend Is Coming

Ibro then started to implement his plan, as his system began to move him around the two groups. He was like a shadow appearing from nothingness and disappeared into it again. 

Every time he landed a couple of strikes over the twin system holders, then he vanished to lay another attack over the other group. The system was smart, as it didn't move him in a fixed pattern, sometimes he moved him from place to another, and other times he moved him around the same group. 

The two groups were trying to defend these unpredictable attacks, and sometimes tried to attack him, but all was in vain. Ibro's movements were really sharp, his attacks were precise, and his energy was superb, so no defense could stand a chance against him.

'Two are down, and there are another three who look to be at their last breaths, so do you want to kill them or keep harassing the others?' the system asked.

Ibro kept hitting and running as he thought about it, if he managed to kill these five, then he would have cleared most of these system holders. He didn't think much, as he intended to kill all of them here if he could, so he said:

'Move me around those weak system holders.'

Just as he teleported from his place and appeared above one of those weak system holders,he felt a sudden threat, so he didn't hesitate to jump back instead of front. His reaction was really timely, as the system holder he was targeting got his body swollen in a strange way.

'It's about to explode, intensify your first spell shield now,' the system said with a haste. Ibro didn't think much as he started to mutter his strongest defensive spell,

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

He kept repeating this spell over and over again until a huge explosion occurred. 

Although the place was completely silent under his runes effect, and everything around was flashing with blinding light, this explosion caused a ripple like effect, which made some noises and produced some flashes of multiple colors. 

The blast effect didn't affect Ibro much, but it managed to push him tens of meters to the back. Ibro was about to straighten himself to find another system holder got swollen and was about to explode. That was strange, why would this fiend do this to his strongest weapon here?

'Investigate these system holders and tell me if you sense something wrong in them,' he commanded his system while repeating his defensive spell over and over again without pause. 

Each time an explosion occurred, his defensive shield got weakened a bit, so he needed to recharge it all the time.

'There are some strange fluctuations appearing in place of the exploding system holders,' the system replied after a few minutes and a couple more explosions. 

Ibro observed the two groups with his divine sense, as he noticed the two groups were trying to come near each other using the blasting effect of this explosion as a cover in doing so.

'Do these fluctuations resemble any teleportation process?' Ibro asked, trying to confirm his guess.

'They aren't trying to teleport you away if you were worried about it,' the system replied.

'No, I'm not worried to teleport me, I'm more worried for them to teleport something from outside to here.'

'Do you mean?' the system asked.

'Yes, I mean that fiend.'

Ibro noticed from the start of this battle the fiend didn't show its ugly face yet, and so he expected its inability to enter here unless his armies control the whole passageway world. But now these empty shell system holders were trying to summon it by creating major disturbances here, and so he needed to stop it.

'What do you plan to do?' the system asked.

'The two groups are trying to form a small circle, I believe their explosions are aiming to form a spatial disturbance here, so that fiend could use this instability and move its body or part of it here,' Ibro explained his theory while he was withstanding a third explosion.

'Hmmm, this theory could be right, so do you want to prevent them from exploding? You have no ability to do so,' the system said.

'Oh, you don't get it, do you? Ok I will tell you what to do, just move me through the places I marked,' Ibro said with a big smile over his face.

The system didn't delay after it heard Ibro's plan, as it moved Ibro from his place to appear suddenly just next to one of the twin system holders. 

Ibro selected a moment when the fourth system holder was about to explode, so there was no way any other system holders would take this suicidal step. As he appeared, that system holder said with strange voice, a voice that didn't belong to him but to that fiend:

"You are trying to stop the inevitable, just give up, you can't kill my servants now, they are invincible."

Ibro was surprised to hear this voice, but he didn't care or reply, and he didn't even attack. All he did was to put his hand over the head of this system holder, to vanish in thin air like it wasn't here from the beginning.

'To the next one, hurry,' Ibro said with anxiousness, as he didn't expect that fiend to possess these system holders already. 

The system didn't delay as he moved him to the next target, as Ibro did the same and took him into one of his abandoned worlds. the plan of Ibro was simple, as this fiend was trying to get here, then anything he would do to these system holders wouldn't affect that plan, even if he killed them all. 

He believed that his friend's technique to be summoned here despite all the rules of this place wasn't simple, and so he decided to play it safe. He would abduct as many system holders as he could and separate them into some of his empty worlds. 

He didn't choose to send them into any world that had a demon teleportation gate, as he wasn't sure of his enemy's abilities or tricks, so complete isolation was the safest solution. 

The only variable he didn't count for was the presence of this fiend already in control of these system holders.

"You are smart, but tell me are you faster than me?" the fiend said this simply with a chuckle as if he wasn't worried about what Ibro was doing. 

Ibro managed to snatch another system holder, so he had now two in his pocket space world, while the other four exploded already leaving the place empty behind them except for a strange drop of blood that absorbed their flesh and began to expand wildly.

'What the hell is this blood?'

Ibro felt a really intimidating fear coming from this drop of blood, he felt as if his soul would be absorbed by it if he got near that drop of blood, which turned into a small fist in size, and continued to grow.
