Chapter 13 Monster In The Light

The energy burst forth from them heading straight for Bojing who was completely winded, and unable to move. Unable to use his monster powers freely in the eyes of the world Bojing was defenceless. Ju Fen could only sit there and watch.

" No… why must I watch another one die because of me. " ( Bojing )

Just as the beam reached Bojing a loud crack could be heard closely followed by:

*Swing

*Boom

Standing before him her beauty shone in the sunlight, her dark feathers spreading for all to see.

" No, never again… I won't let you take another one! " ( Ju Fen )

" M… Monster! " ( Donghai Delun )

Bursting forth the stone stairs began to shatter under her weight, propelling forward with her mist covered sword aimed directly at Donghai's throat.

*Ting

*Clank

*Bang

With the flurry of blows he had no room to breathe, but he seemingly was able to keep up with this sudden impossible speed that was so fast none other than the three generals could follow along. Looking in awe Bojing could do nothing except watch, his extremely fortified body tattered and torn preventing him from moving even a single inch, however in due time he would heal, he always does. This still didn't change the despair of being immobilised like this. Didn't I get stronger? How did this happen? Will I always be this weak? These questions yet again flooded his insecure mind sending him into a deep depression. There was nothing he could do.

*Tink

*Slash

With each swing it was evident that Ju Fen was much more stronger than she was inside the dungeon, in fact the two opponents standing in her way could be compared to twigs she could easily snap at any moment, however she was clearly the one who had snapped. The sight of Bojing being attacked triggered something deep in her mind, in her memory. The horrific sight of her past haunting her, sending her into a spiral and in turn releasing the limit of her power.

The underlings of the guild could only sit and watch aswell, locked in fear at the inhuman sight they saw before them. Finally beaten beyond limits Donghai fell to his knees, the other general falling with him. Raising her hand up high the time came for the final blow marking their… DEATH!

Seemingly out of nowhere the sky drew black and a singular lighting bolt fell down from the sky, landing directly in front of Donghai, the figures inside holding out his hand commanding him to stay back.

" Guild Leader… I can handle th- " ( Donghai )

" Silence and stay back. That's an order! " ( ??? )

With the low tone resonating from his mouth all of the guild members suddenly froze in fear, adhering to his every word. Even Donghai who is usually so impulsive and stubborn dared not interfere. The golden yellow lightning embracing his body began to crackle throughout him. Raising his hand the yellow lightning burst forth colliding with Ju Fen, knocking her backward into the stairs beside Bojing. It was clear he wasn't playing around, however that was also clearly a warning shot.

*Tch

The worried tone of her voice burst out of her mouth. Grabbing Bojing by the arm she helped him to his feet, her shadows encasing him, somehow taking away the pain he felt.

" Bojing… get out of here now. Leave the rest to me! " ( Ju Fen )

The worried look on her face showed him just how scared she was, but she still chose this path. To give Bojing a chance to escape she would risk everything, even meeting her friends again. She probably felt that if one of them were to escape that would be better than none.

" No… I will not leave you he- " ( Bojing )

Bursting forth the figure shot forward in a line of lightning, however a hand gently pushed Bojing aside. The look on her face. That smile that said it is ok, but really behind that look of assurance she felt he was sure she felt a strong sense of fear and sadness. As the lightning slowly and surely made its approach Bojing felt helpless, but that was when he heard it. That voice, that annoying obnoxious voice.

" Hehehe… That's another one you couldn't save. Serves your right… Monster! " ( Gaia )

Then he felt it, a sensation that felt familiar to him. Looking down at his palm a small black feather landed upon it, brimming with energy. It was one of her feathers, and he felt it crying out in pain, pulsing pulsing with sad memories. From within them he heard crying and shouts of anguish. Please don't leave me. Bring them back now. I swear ill make you pay. All of these memories were undoubtedly hers, so why did she choose this path. Then he heard something that made his eyes open wide.

" Someone please save me! " ( Ju Fen )

Something inside of him cracked like never. This pain. This torment. He couldn't bear it anymore. How could they do this? How could she do this alone? In his head a voice rang out loud and clear.

" Remember who you are. " ( ??? )

" Bojing!- " ( Numen )

*Thunder crash

*Zap

Looking forward that green light was almost to blinding for her to keep her eyes open, yet she did not look away, the brilliant dazzling green feathers left her in awe, such a thing was inconceivable to her. Those dazzling green wings sprouting feathers glowed with invigorating vigour. The crackling green energy surrounding his body began forming small panels of shields that orbited around his stunning form.

" What… how could this be? " ( Ju Fen )

" Bojing you're- " ( Numen )

" Yeah, I know now. Gaia you weren't wrong at all, I really am as you described… a monster, but thats fine with me! " ( Bojing )

" How is this possible. You should only have duality. Tch! " ( Gaia )

Infuriated Bojing could tell she was from the tone in her voice.

" No matter, my champion before you shall be your demise! Gregorio… here is some extra power… finish him off! " ( Gaia )

" As you command my queen! " ( Gregorio )

His crackling golden energy began streaming faster and faster with each passing moment until he finally let out a strong bolt of lightning. Watching on Ju Fen could only call out-

" Bojing, watch out! " ( Ju Fen )

*Crackle

*Flash

*Boom

With Bojing's extended hand protected in a thick layer of green energy the attack was held at bay, still streaming out but yet it unphased him. From his lips he had only one thing to say. Turning to Ju Fen, Bojing flashed an assured smile.

" Don't worry, you don't have to do this on your own ever again, after all you wanted to accompany me right, and anyone in my party is under my shields embrace. " ( Bojing )

She was speechless, however that didn't stop the tears to start streaming down her eyes. For as long as she lived all she wanted was for someone to say those words to the true her. Stepping forward the blast of energy continued but it was futile.

" Quick! Help me fend this monster back! " ( Gregorio )

At the whim of his command, with out hesitation the Players all gathered behind him and began shooting their own abilities at Bojing and Ju Fen.

" Futile! " ( Bojing )

Walking forward his step sent out a shockwave of green energy pushing the group back. With each step they were forced back further and further.

" Enough, it is time to bring you down! " ( Gregorio )

*Divine Skill: Gaia Lightning Sword

Leaping forward Gregorio conjured a sword briming with the same energy as Gaia gave off. Cleaving it downward it crashed into Bojing's shield, shattering it into pieces. Continuing on it's trajectory it was headed for Bojing's head.

" Hmm… is that really all you've got. How pathetic. " ( Bojing )

*Demon King Mode: Combo Skill: Fallen Angel X Yang Demon Gauntlets: Falling Devastation

Bojing began to glow even more luminescent, especially on his wings and his newly formed Yang Demon Gauntlets. Grabbing the blade, he shattered it into pieces before forcing out his wings and arms sending a shockwave pulsing out in front of him that forced back everything in it's wake. This was it. Unable to compete with Bojing's raw force they were all forced back.

There was a rule written for Bojing based on his very own will and decision. He could not harm anybody with his powers. However the same wasn't true for the surrounding environment. Stomping on the ground, large walls made from pillars of stone shot up from the earth boosted by shields Bojing conjured at that moment. Flying backward the entire opposition was hurled into them, slamming them into it.

Bojing hated the idea of hurting others, in fact he despised it. However, he had no choice this time. Without the shockwave his shields would have been shattered by his opponents. Walking back up the stairs he placed his hand on her shoulder.

" Here, rest up. It is all ok now. By the way, your wings look amazing. " ( Bojing )

Chuckling to herself she was lost for words. Not only did he not run away, but he stayed and fought, underwent a monster transformation and reassured her in her own monster form which had never happened before in her lifetime, except from her missing friends.

" Grrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh! How could you have beaten them again! You insolent brats! Fine, you want a war, you have now gotten one, heheheh. Try surviving this! " ( Gaia )

Looking around the players menus began popping up like crazy, and upon them was written exactly the same words.

" My children, these so called monsters have been left

unchecked for centuries now and I cannot allow this to prolong any further. Even as we speak there are monsters posing as humans in your society and they must all perish. " ( Gaia )

*System: Main Quest Updated… Kill All Monsters… Kill These Players Linked Below.

Clicking on the link images of Bojing and Ju Fen could be seen, as well as an indicator as to their current known location. In their ears they could hear it perfectly clear, her ominous and obnoxious cackling.

]

Extending out his arm Bojing gestured for Ju Fen to take his hand.

" Come on, lets do this together. " ( Bojing )

" Hehahahahaha, you don't need to tell me twice. " ( Ju Fen )

Gripping his hand he pulled her up. All of her wounds were healed thanks to his regen shield. Opening his menu he sent her a request.

*System: Do You Wish To Join Bojing's Party

" I accept! " ( Ju Fen )

*System: Party Created

" Yay, we have another teammate! " ( Yang )

Rushing all around them were a sea of players heading straight for their locations.

" There they are… get them! " ( Players )

They both assumed their battling positions when suddenly a figure dashed behind them sporting cat ears and a fox tail, in other words it was clear he too was a monster.

" Quickly, there is no time to explain, come with me! " ( ??? )

Turning to look Bojing instantly recognised him as the silent man he bumped into on the day of the big raid. Grabbing their shoulders a flash of bright blue light flashed. When the light had faded they had disappeared. Flashing in front of Gaia's engraged face a black system menu popped up. Clicking on it she was infuriated.

" Oh and Bojing and Ju Fen asked me to pass on this message. Beware, for they are coming for you. Well I can't wait to see that day sister, bwahahahaha. " ( Numen )

" ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! " ( Gaia )
