Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1138: Ending the Tender

Chapter 1138: Ending the Tender

?

The BoneTender was raging.

He was infuriated and it was all but clear that he had gone insane. Despite Benzard punishing him with strikes livid with red lightning, he kept whirling in the sky, bellowing the same

thing over and over again.

"TELL ME WHERE IT IS!"

His form, like a long cloak, barely seemed to change at all from the damage he took. As a matter of fact, the only damage the BoneTender seemed to have taken, was mental.

Yuyui, decked in Replicus' Hollow Dusk Prison, was also zooming through the skies, aiding Benzard in his attempts to both harm the Null Lifeform and keep him away from Sause.

'It's not working,' Yuyui thought frustratedly.

Her Eye of Dispersal wasn't working on the BoneTender.

It didn't work on anything Null Life related, it seemed.

Quite like the basic effect of a Territory, it wasn't equipped to deal with an energy beyond the natural bounds.

Null Life, as Serenity had explained, along with Voided Death Essence were in a higher tier than Undeath, which was somewhat... ordinary and could in fact be dispersed by the Eye of Dispersal.

Sause remained on the mountaintop where the shrine the BoneTender had thought was the key to reaching what made Aigas rich, was located.

He kept studying the movements of the Null Terror, a contemplative look on his face. "He's gone mad," he heard Aurolio say from across the giant, gaping hole Replicus had made with an arow from the Fallen Reincarnator's Shadow. Stylla still lay unconscious near him.

"A few minutes ago, I thought the same of you, ahaha. That's the same sort of face you wore when you thought you had what you were looking for in your grasp," Sause mocked. Aurolio scoffed.

He didn't really have the energy to argue.

Edagon shook vehemently, like a ship on the turbulent ocean.

Sause could have sworn he heard the groan of the ebony sea around the entire continent. The massive landmass had actually shifted tremendously or perhaps rose only to clap on the surface of the sea.

There were deafening crackles from the sky far away, and everything turned a little darker for a moment before returning to normal. Then another great boom ensued that would have left people on Feinheath thinking the coming of the Deities was nigh.

The mind-boggling battle between unreasonable monstrosities yonder persisted, but Sause didn't pay it much attention.

Aurolio did though.

There was a sour look on his face. Recalling how his body had instinctively bowed towards Replicus earlier crushed his pride a bit too harshly.

Still, even he didn't tear his eyes from the conflict directly above him for too long.

It was unwise to ignore the presence of an enemy that was invulnerable to most forms of attacks.

Sause was unsure what deterred him back when he invaded the soul of the BoneTender. Perhaps it wasn't so easy to dismantle the creature's soul, as he had hoped.

In truth, he had been working rather quickly when he attacked the BoneTender, Aurolio and Stylla before. That was why Aurolio recovered quickly. As for why Stylla remained unconscious... Sause himself was not sure.

Aurolio, on the other hand, was sure he could deal some damage to the BoneTender if he used potent Voided Death Essence attacks, but he had sucked himself dry when he used his Mastered Void Gate.

He didn't even have enough Essence to keep his basic technique active.

All these reasons were why only Yuyui and Benzard were attacking the raving BoneTender. The former kept shifting Benzard around with her Eye of Moving, making sure every sudden movement the Null Lifeform made would be met with a brisk response. However, so far there was no progress, and it really seemed as though there was no true way to get the BoneTender to react to anything they were doing.

Thus, Yuyui, while furrowing her brows as she shifted herself higher into the sky, cast away the helmet to her starry armour, leaving her lime green hair flying out in the wind, and her keen eyes one of which was the Inhumane Eye - staring deeply at the BoneTender.

"Hey!" she screamed to get the Null Terror's attention.

At once, the fiery globe that was the BoneTender's head turned to Yuyui.

Yuyui knew that the BoneTender had to have recognised him. Not just now, but even before, when she had first arrived to save Replicus and the Unlimited.

He hadn't had any reaction then, but right now...

"You..." the BoneTender said scathingly.

"Yeah, me. You remember who I am, right? And what you did," she said as she shifted herself higher into the air to temporarily postpone her fall to the ground.

The Null Terror seemed to scoff, offering no response. He simply darted her way quickly, but she got out the way before he had even made the decision to do so.

Yuyui grew increasingly tense. She was vastly outmatched in terms of physical prowess and her instinct was what kept her from dying more times than necessary so far. "You're holding someone captive. Someone who should be here instead of you," she said. When the BoneTender made a sharp turn towards her, Yuyui moved Benzard directly before her figure, and thankfully, the Incandescent Stager was ready for an attack. "OUT OF MY WAY!" the BoneTender screeched as it attempted to swat Benzard away.

Thick bolts of red lightning exploded from the swordsman, warding off the BoneTender's advance.

Yuyui used the chance. She immediately moved herself over to the Null Terror's head.

"You lost. You failed. My Master beat you and you were tricked by the person you trusted. There's no room for you here! So just get lost already!" she screamed as she used her Eye of Moving in a manner she hadn't managed to before.

Because her eye was like Brunt Divide, manifesting any meaning of the name it embodied no matter how far-fetched, Yuyui tried to conjure a extreme repulsive force that would force the BoneTender away, like a vicious blast of wind.

Well, that was what she intended to do.

What actually happened was that her Eye of Moving caused the particles - molecules and atoms - surrounding the BoneTender to start moving, bouncing against each other rapidly. Unconsciously, Yuyui made these particles bond to the Null Terror... and then they zipped away at tremendous speed with the BoneTender in tow!

The BoneTender crashed aggressively somewhere far, where the land had been eaten away by Replicus' Ju'wtte.

As he lay sprawled on the ground, he felt that his body had actually taken a fair bit of damage

now.

Whatever that green head had done... it actually harmed him.

Yuyui, bleeding from nose and looking rather exhausted, appeared in front of the Null Terror, Benzard in tow.

The latter propped up his hands and made a gesture, his mana turning to Nitros in the next

instant.

The BoneTender knew what he was about to do and because Yuyui was here, he didn't have

the option to escape.

However...

Far away, the Null Terror sensed a certain redhead he had acquired a month ago stir awake

finally.

Finally...
