Chapter 255 The Battle to Go Back 2

"Boy, I’ll try again!" Evelyn exclaimed and she started to cast the teleportation spell once more. Moreover, she did it while on my back.

I hummed as a reply and focused on the monsters coming. Berserk monsters hungry for food and thirsty for mana rushed towards us after feeling the enormous amount of mana Evelyn was using in her spells.

From now onwards, my job is to keep Evelyn safe until she successfully cast the spell, or until she runs out of mana and we have to hide again.

I did not even pay attention to the first monsters that arrived. Just a group of little monsters in the sixth, seventh, and eighth layers were not enough even as a warm-up. I moved around them evading their slow attacks and carrying Evelyn on my back, completely unruffled.

However, stronger monsters did not take long to arrive. Less than fifteen seconds later, a powerful surge of energy flew towards us from behind.

I narrowed my eyes. Without looking behind, I stepped aside and evaded the breath-like attack. Then, I kicked one of the monsters that were attacking us, crushing its head and using it to jump away.

Just when I disappeared from my position, a tailwhip-like attack crushed the place where we were just a moment ago.

Looking behind me, a giant snake was hissing bloodthirstily while its red slitted pupils followed our movements.

A twelfth-layer monster!

And it was just the first of many! Similar presences were quickly approaching our location!

At that moment, Evelyn opened her eyes.

"I’m ready!"

With a shout, the magic circle below our feet lit up brightly and started the process of teleportation!

But just like before, it was stopped by a layer of energy that attacked it!

Evelyn grunted. The barrier appeared again, stopping the energy. But as though telling Evelyn it was completely useless, The energy crushed the barrier once more.

Evelyn smiled while blood trickled down her lips.

"Hahaha! I understand! I was going the wrong way! Claus, I need one minute! I will modify the barrier into a spiral shape and use it to penetrate the layer of energy!"

I smiled while avoiding the attack of an ape monster. "Don’t worry, you have all the time in the world."

Evelyn smirked and hugged my neck tighter. Then, she closed her eyes to modify the spell.

Because she had just modified it, the changes Evelyn needed to do were not very complex. She just changed some variables related to shape and added another related to movement. Her goal was to turn the barrier into a drill that could break through the energy layer and allow the teleportation spell to reach the coordinates in our world.

Meanwhile, I continued evading the monsters’ attacks. I keep my focus on them to make sure that none of their attacks hit Evelyn while I used as little mana as possible to ’save’ mana.

By this point, another two twelfth-layer monsters had arrived. Moreover, the new monsters did not fight between each other for the right to eat us and instead cooperated to bring me down. It seemed that they were thinking of killing us first before deciding how to divide the booty.

One minute passed quickly under the attacks of the monsters. Evelyn once more opened her eyes and started to cast the spell.

When the magic circle appeared, the monsters seemed to become crazier. It seemed that one of the newcomer monsters managed to identify the function of the spell and knew we were planning to escape!

Evelyn bit her lips. She looked at my focused face with an expression of guilt and accelerated the casting of the spell. In seconds, the magic circle lit up once more.

But this time, when the energy layer surged towards the teleportation spell, a drill-shaped barrier appeared around it, blocking the energy and at the same time drilling through it to break until the other side.

Sweat flowed down Evelyn’s forehead. She could feel the strain on her mental powers. Controlling the magic circle while at the same time fighting against the energy was incredibly draining.

But when she remembered I was struggling right now to keep her safe, she gritted her teeth and endured the headache.

"Ahhhh!!!" With a cry, the energy layer was broken!

"Success!" Evelyn beamed, but in the next instant, the mana in the teleportation spell was used up.

"Damn it! Breaking through the energy layer uses too much mana! Even if I can break through it, I will be unable to teleport us to our world. Instead, we will fall in the void of space!"

"Then we just need to cast the spell again after that." I smiled.

Evelyn was stunned, then, her face brightened.

"I’m an idiot!"

Without hesitation, she cast the spell again!

But suddenly, a powerful and ancient-sounding voice came from the mouth of a monster, accompanied by overwhelming pressure.

[So it was you.]

Instantly, my expression turned ice-cold.

Evelyn paled feeling the presence, but she managed to continue casting the spell. She knew our life and death could be determined by if we were able to teleport away or not.

At the same time, I confronted the talking monster.

"Of course, it’s me."

[Hahaha. I thought it was suspicious when I felt some unusual space fluctuations. But to think it was you.]

"Well, I came to visit." I shrugged with a leisurely expression.

The monster carrying the consciousness of the immortal laughed loudly. His voice penetrated our eardrums, resounding on our bodies as powerful blows.

I grunted in answer. An opposite forced surged out of my body, clashing against the attack of the Immortal and stopping it from harming us.

[Interesting... But it looks like you are injured. Such a great opportunity.]

I shrugged indifferently. "You can try."

[Yes, I will do that!]

Then, the monster roared.

A giant dark cloud emerged from the monster’s mouth, nose, ears, and eyes; wrapping around the monster and consuming its blood and flesh.

Then, the dark cloud gathered into a sphere that quickly turned into a human shape. It was an Avatar!

[Die!] The Immortal’s avatar bellowed. A spear of destructive energy materialized on his hand, thrusting towards my chest.

I took a step aside, compressing the space upon my feet and traveling hundreds of meters instantly. Then, I called upon the rune on my mind.

[Reality Render]!

The translucid sword formed by space itself appeared on my hand, slashing towards the Immortal.

*BOOM!!!* The sword and the spear clashed, creating a giant crater than destroyed everything in one kilometer around us.

The monsters and creatures around us were instantly eradicated. Only Evelyn managed to survive thanks to my protection.

But that was just the first attack. One instant later, I attacked again, and again, and again. My sword and his spear clashed repeatedly!

But in the end, I was the original.

Even if I was injured and even if I did not use my entire strength, my power was not something a simple avatar could resist.

[ARRRRGHHHHH!!!]

After a slash, the Immortal roared. Unknowingly, its body had been bisected into two.

But I was unable to rejoice, because his body reformed again instantly, returning to normal.

[You will need more than that to destroy this avatar, my brethren!]

"Is it so?" I smiled. The next second, a flash of light happened, cutting the avatar into thousands of pieces.

At the same time, Evelyn shouted from behind me.

"I’m ready!"

She then waved her hand, activating the teleportation spell.

The magic circle under our feet lit up. In an instant, space fluctuations surrounded us!

But the Immortal was not ready to give up.

Before we could teleport away, a powerful consciousness came towards us from far away. At the same time, the body that I just cut into pieces reformed again.

[Stay!] The Immortal bellowed and pressed his palm towards the teleportation circle.

I smiled and swung my sword. Space itself was cut into two, severing the immortal hand.

Then, we disappeared from that world.

A few seconds later, hundreds of avatars arrived at the site of the battle.

One of them, noticeably bigger than the others, looked up following the spatial fluctuation’s path.

[We’ll meet again.]
