Interdimensional Farming in Another World

Chapter 136 Still Alive

?

Alex had escaped to the farm to escape from the shockwaves. He teleported out after waiting for a couple of seconds.

In the time between Alex entering the interdimensional farm and exiting, havoc was unleashed inside the underground hall.

The shockwave reverberated through the ground, cracking and destroying the place. The polished stones that were used to build the hall crumbled and became tiny pebbles.

The force from the impact of Chitra's attack churned the entire area like a tsunami wreaking havoc.

Even after Alex appeared outside, it took him a couple of seconds to get his bearing. Because the place he once stood had already turned into a crater.

The moment he appeared, he almost fell by a couple of meters. 

The cloud of dust was still circling in the air. He could barely see a couple of meters in front of him.

"Cough…Cough" He coughed as he tried to locate familiar figures in the dust cloud. He wanted to what happened to the horned mutant, Chitra and even Kain.

'If that attack couldn't kill the horned mutant, nothing can kill it.' 

Lifting his hand, Alex released a torrent of mana, three cores worth to surround him.

'If the dust will not clear anytime soon, I have to clear it on my own.' He decided.

The mana that he released took the form of a grey cloud. He released it outside while making it weakly interact with the atmosphere. Although it was the first time Alex was attempting something like that. He easily achieved his desired outcome. 

Once the mana cloud he released pushed away the dust cloud from around him. He was able to quickly make an area without any dust.

So, he finally had a grasp of his position. 

"Huh!" He gasped while looking at the unrecognisable surroundings.

While some of his mana was used to settle the floating dust, it could also sense the entities around him.

Finally, Alex saw the person he was looking for.

It was Chitra.

She was barely holding on, sitting half-crouched on the floor. She looked drained without any power. 

Tears were flowing from her eyes like a river. Even when her body was exhausted beyond reason, she was holding on without losing consciousness with determination. 

The thought that she might have killed the horned mutant, her sister, tormented her.

However, the illusory image of the Divine butterfly that guarded her was nowhere to be seen.

'Did the spirit guardian disappear? It seems the skill was cancelled due to her exhaustion. And her condition will not improve for a long time. The exhaustion that comes after summoning a spirit guardian is different from normal ones. She will be weakened for a long time. '

'I just hope the sacrifice she made was worth it.' Alex thought.

If only he could find the dead body of the horned mutant and confirm it. He would have been happy to end it here and return. The things that happened in the last couple of hours were far too much even for him.

Expanding the area that his mana covered, Alex tried hard to find the horned mutant and Kain. 

Kain was found easily once he increase his detection range. But still, the horned mutant has yet to be found. However, he could sense the presence of another life spread all around him.

But suddenly, he detected a clump of meat. It showed clear signs of life. 

Alex initially thought it was the mutant. However, he could feel a different energy from it that was different from the mutants.

'Sure does look like something a mutant would leave behind.' Alex thought as he sensed the oddball of flesh. 

If he had time, Alex would have observed it a bit more. He wanted to go towards it and collect some samples.

However, fate seems to have other plans for him. The ceiling cracked in some places and came crashing to the ground.

When a part of the ceiling crumbled and fell to the ground, with it came something that he never wanted to see.

It was an arm of the horned mutant. 

'Why was it in the ceiling?' 

Soon, Alex became aware of other life signatures. 

'In the ceiling, below the ground, near the wall. All around him, signs of life were popping up.'

And they begin to exude energy.

In response to their release of energy, from the centre of the crate, the same place the horned mutant stood and Chitra attacked, a giant skeleton rose from the ground.

It dug through the ground and climbed up. 

It had only one arm, and one leg with most of its flesh gone.

With just one glance, Alex recognised it as a horned mutant. 

'It did not die!'

'It survived the attack.'

Chitra's attack was nothing to scoff at. Even though the divine butterfly tribe was called a weak tribe without much combat ability, the ultimate skill she showcased was beyond what Alex could comprehend.

A thousand Chitra materialised while attacking the horned mutant simultaneously.

'How can something survive that?'  I think you should take a look at

The skeleton of the horned mutant stood up and shook its body in response to the energy released by its scattered flesh.

Instantly, thin mana extended it from like strings connecting it to the scattered flesh. 

After that, like a rubber band, the extended string of mana was called back, retrieving the mass of flesh connected to it.

"FUCK!"

'The horned mutant survived by splitting itself into parts while the main skeleton structure tanked the attack. With its flesh, it could recover again.' Alex realised this fact instantly.

But, the horned mutant didn't give him any time to intervene. 

Swiftly, it began to recover its body. And the dust had already settled in. Now, Kain could also see what was happening. 

"Ha ha ha…Excellent. Splitting its body in danger. Sending parts of the body away from the epicentre of the attack. Even then, surviving against the ultimate skill of a tier 5 warrior. 

"Beyond excellent."

"*Clap* *Clap*"

"Only I could create something like that." Kain, who realised the current situation said in glee. 

"Double Fuck." Alex said after witnessing his action.

If it was just Kain, Alex stood a chance. But, against the horned mutant and Kain, that was an impossible fight.

He could see no weakness of the general mutant in the horned mutant. Besides that, it proved it has some intelligence and the ability to follow orders.

Thinking about fighting against them was giving Alex a headache.

'Fortunately, Kain broke the ancient runes present in the area. This will allow me to teleport away. It was a good idea to release mana outwards.' 

'Now, should I take Chitra with me?'

Alex smiled just as that question popped up in his mind. 

Without giving any time for others to react, Alex teleported towards Chitra instantly. He wanted to save the weakened Chitra and escape.

However, contrary to what he imagined, saving Chitra was not an easy job. 

Just as he materialised near her, an earth spell came crashing towards him. The spell was strong, way stronger than any spell he could create. 

A rock bullet the size of a football came at a breakneck speed and crashed into Alex.

"BANG." The impact caused it to scatter into pieces while throwing Alex away like a rag doll.

This was the first real setback Alex had after gaining the teleport ability. Kain predicted his action and accurately hit him, even after using teleport.

"HUH!" Alex exclaimed as he realised what had happened to him.

"Did you mistake me for a fool?" Suddenly, Kain asked with a smirk. 

"When I said this is the day you were going to die, I meant it." He declared while looking at Alex who was holding his injured left hand.

Reflexively blocking the rock bullet seemed to have damaged his arm. It was not in a shape that it can be used anymore. 

"Don't even think about escaping," Kain warned.

'I could have escaped alone if I wanted to shithead. *imaginary sigh* Being a good person is so hard nowadays.'

Although the rock bullet knocked away Alex, he was still nearer to Chitra than Kain. So, Alex quickly came near Chitra to take her and teleport outside. 

But, just as he touched Chitra and tried to teleport away. Something prevented him.

As long as he touched an object and encapsulate it in mana, he would have been able to teleport away easily. 

However, this time something resisted his teleportation.

And it was none other than Chitra.

"Why?" Alex asked.

Chitra held back her tears while looking at the recovering body of the horned mutant and resisted the teleportation.

She was resolute in her decision to not leave with him. 

Although Alex could understand her reason, he still wanted her to leave and live, to fight another day. 

"Sigh! You don't know what's good for you. Leaving with me is your only chance to live." Alex said trying to convince the lunatic, Chitra. 

"Leave me alone," Chitra said with determination.

"Triple Fuck." 

"This world is so fucked up." Alex was fed up with it.

"Incapacitate her." Meanwhile, Kain instructed the horned mutant who almost completed healing. "And Kill him."

"Why me? You could have killed her too. Why do you wish to send me to the nether world alone?"
