Monster of the Chrysalis

As the vehicle moved in the light of the moon the ai had to use its other sensors to detect its background.

Everyone was soundly sleeping like nothing had happened.

Just the two were keeping watch. For every three hours two would stay guard while the others sleep. Most of the crew doesn't have problems with motion sickness.

Well Phoenix did when he would use the inbuilt Ai to do run some tasks he would get motion sickness but after he stops it would be gone.

It has been two weeks since we've covered everything and now we are heading back. Jay was awake and counting the things he has left.

He instructed the kids and the chef to move towards the capital. Even if not inside their walls. Atleast outside the walls Jay might be able to do something.

Jay concerns were less because the God's were protecting the territory and it would be dangerous if while moving they were caught in between by abyssal creatures. They might be consumed by them.

So the best option for now is to let them be.

The abyss is slowly crawling forward. The lands are slowly being consumed. The Frontera Estate where they once fought the demons is now consumed by the abyss.

On the east where the capital lies there doesn't seem to be any abyss. From the west slowly the waters of the oceans are being drained leading to the Tempest eventually losing its home. It will still take weeks before the oceans are fully drained from the water.

Co incidentally according to research. The abyss does not interact with mana. It would either mean that they are opposing forces which don't interact. And by definition

Mana is the Right of creation something totally opposite to the abyss.

Meaning everything is going according to the setting. The abyss consuming everything. The God's keen on destroying the world alongside the abyss. Some resistance can be seen.

And finally there are the human forces. Keen on living.

And leading them is one who can't die. But immortals are someone who are always unchanging in their ways. Besides not dying. So how are they even immortals.

The only true immortal they have met is the Guide. A truly immortal unchanging person.

Such thoughts wandered In Jay's mind.

The a. I vehicle rsn out of charge and thus the group had to camp the night.

But without the detection of AI it was difficult to survey the area and they had to settle with what they had.

And of all the area it was very odd area. It was a plains area where after 50 meters there was many chrysalis.

Many butterfly eggs waiting to be hatched. Wanting to break out of the cocoon. White cocoons being fully सीन्स with the moonlight.

For more visibility Jay casted light magic on them.

The whole area was filled with coocons end to end. And in the middle there was a huge tree with a huge cocoon.

Attached to the tree.

Jay immediately sensed the pattern. As he tried to warn the others.

Jay :

We can't camp here it isn't a safe place. Right now.

Phoenix :

The vehicle has accumulated lot of heat from overbearing people and keeping the levitation running at the same time for days on end.

It needs to Cooldown.

Jay :

See there is a field of cocoons over there. It would be bad if they were to hatch right now.

Phoenix looked over to the thousands of chrysalis on the field.

Phoenix :

Don't worry they won't hatch and if you are that worried why not just burn them. Im off to sleep don't wake me up.

And he dozed off to sleep.

Jay was keeping watch over the field of chrysalis. As light magic shine above him.

After a while nothing happened.

Jay : talking to himself

The more i see this the more anxious I am getting.

Ray :

If you're that anxious. There's only one thing to do.

Ray had just woke up. To void his bladder and saw Jay's anxious face as he only monitored the field of cocoons nothing else.

So Ray voided his bladder on the cocoons.

Ray :

See nothing happened.

And when they say nothing happens is the time something happens.

Due to Ray voiding his bladder. The flies inside the cocoon had a biological response that they were under attack. Thus the developed butterflies which were going to be hatch in the light of the dawn hatched earlier and the noise of them hatching bought more anxiety to the two.

The cracking of cocoons filled the air with noise. And thag cause everyone to wake up.

Due to lack of proper sleep everyone became grumpy and filled with resent.

Phoenix :

What did you do this time. What's with all this noise.

Ray :

Sir I'm sorry this time it might be me.

One by one the butterflies started hatching. They. Hatched and a beautiful multi colored wings butterflies were born.

They took their first flight and as they flew above the group.

Under Jay's light magic it was a dazzling sight to see.

But suddenly everyone started to feel light headed.

Rena :

I'm suddenly feeling dizzy everything is spinning.

Ray :

The fact that you're dizzy means you're we-

Ray collapsed.

Phoenix :

It's the butterflies they might have dropped spores. It's bad

We have to treat the immediately.

Jay burn them down.

Jay :

Finally I can get rid of this anxiety.

Jay unleashed his flames over the cocoons.

The cocoons were organic thus started Bruning down fiercely. With the grass alongside it.

Jay also unleashed his flames towards the sky and burned tmdiwn the already hatched butterflies.

Jay :

Can I use your bow I'm itching to try it.

Phoenix :

No get your own.

Jay except flames used every fire spell in his mind except sea of flames and burned down the entirety of the cocoons.

Except the big one which still hadn't hatched.

The land was lit in flames as it started going out of control.

Jay had his eyes on the big cocoon. That's why he himself walked through the fires he himself set. Even as he did his clothes showed no signs of burning. And he stood before the cocoon.

Jay in a dramatic way took fire in his own hands. And gently lit the cocoon on fire.

The cocoon started shaking wildly and from the chrysalis emerged a radiant beautiful butterfly. With the one flap of its wing all the fire was extinguished. And the area covered in darkness.

Jay used light magic to light up his area. And what he was a beautiful monster born from the Chrysalis.

Jay used flame magic to burn it down. But once again flapped it's wings and Jay's flame extinguished.

The flap was so strong in fact that the vehicle was turned over its head. And back. Thankfully there was Noone inside the vehicle.

The butterfly was different than the rest. Instead of a stench it had a sweet smell. A butterfly not afraid of predators.

A butterfly which lives longer than your averga butterfly.

A mutant variant which is said to be so rare that it is seen every half a millenia. But it is said that when it hatches that's when it brings omen with it. It releases powders which could kill those without poison resistance.

With the flap of its wings it creates winds so strong that an entire village is blown away.

It also releases powders that either make someone extremely dizzy even unable to hold a weapon or put them to sleep.

Or use a sleeping powder that someone sleep for a long time. For which then the butterfly who usually sucks nectar.

Gets the nutrients out of any living mammal with glucose or any kind of sugar running in their veins.

Yes a freak of nature different from its smaller variants.

So in short it's a raid boss.

Phoenix :

Kill it before it fully gets out.

Jay unleashed the hottest flames he could manage.

But it flapped one of its exposed wings and everything flew away. Jay tried to stab the butterfly but his weapon fell from his hands and he started feeling dizzy. So dizzy in fact he rolled off the ground into the burned grass and cocoons.

Phoenix got his bow if Matra and shot it down with arrows.

But even an arrow depends on the wind for its trajectory and when the winds is not in its side. It falls offside.

Phoenix :

Ai analyze the beast.

A. I:

Analyzing... Analysis incomplete need more image data.

Jay :

You think I'll let you fly.

Jay passed mana into the ground whilst being dizzy the trajectory of the mana was going in random directions but it still went to the top of the hill. And from there many chains made of iron pierced the wing of the butterfly. But they were not able to penetrated. So Jay used them to bind the butterfly down.

Evan tried to support him by using mana blade.

Evan :

Sword extension Mana

Jay :

Enough with the flashy names.

Evan assumed a stab in which he would be able to stab.

And just as he used mana blade before. This time he used it to Stab the wing of the butterfly. He concentrated the sword Jay gave him and concentrated it with mana that the blade could handle and let it loose by aiming and extending the mana blade when stabbed. And it landed making the butterfly writhe in pain and go beserk. It tore off the cocoon from another end revealing its other wing and dusted off its powder towards them.

Jay who was somewhat alleviated with the effects before the powder could reach them he burned down the powder all together. By launching flames into the sky.

Jay :

The sky is moving with me. Damn can't even think straight.

Thank god I'm not puking at this point.

Rena :

9271737, 2723,2726361.

MANA Slash.

Rena let out a mana slash meant to cut of it's other wing.

But itoved it's wing before it could land.

In order to avoid the status moves everyone except Jay stood close to Phoenix as a fire mage could burn it down.

Meanwhile Jay was trying to cope and alleviate from the dizziness. He could stand but the would still sound around him and even then he kept the chains tightly wound. And as the second wing. Came out of the chrysalis. And just futeered once. It was enough to blow away everyone.

Except Jay because he wasnt in the flutter range.

A. I :

Leave the vicinity area. And hope to not encounter it in its path.

Phoenix :

That's not plausible it has aggroed on is.

A. I :

Understood taking aggressive behaviors into consideration.

Computing... Completed.

Prevent the butterfly from taking flight.

The butterfly has compound eyes Fast attack will be seen and dodged.

Please disable the compound eyes.

If taken flight use lightning based attacks. High voltage required.

The butterfly is recorded to use three types of powders it sheds from its wings. Which it can spread over long distance.

Sleep, dizzy and paralysis powder. Avoid inhalation and burn the powder when it spreads. Powder is highly flammable. Keep caution.

It's sting contains a general anesthetic which can knock out foes and allow it to drink their blood without retaliation

The sting is frail but sharp please take caution.

This is all the data which is recorded. There is no account of strategies or records of defeating the monster of the wind.

Phoenix :

I've got all the data I need. Ray focus your mana and create the maximum voltage lightning you can. And as soon as it takes flight. Zap it.

Rena help Jay he's badly affected by the powder. Also take an anti emetic pill with you.

Sir Evan please assist us by somehow keeping the monster pinned to the cocoon.

Aunt can you survey the area for threats.

Phoenix took the charge of the subjugation of the monster of the wind.
