Chapter 766: How Is He This OP?
The Off-Worlder was giving me an amused look as I stared at her from atop my bed.
I would have lunged at her but the fact that she was smiling at me made me hesitant to attack her.
More because I was concerned that this guy might have set up some kind of trap beforehand than anything else.
At this point, I'm half convinced that his brainrot persona might have just been a cover to hide his real nature because I don't think a real person with brainrot could think about disguising themselves to hide like this.
Instead, I decided to try and see if I could get some answers out of her first.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Oh em gee~ What in the mind boggling quizzical conundrum are you throwing my way? Haven't you already downloaded my cosmic vibe into your brain space already? I mean, that's totally why you're on this epic mega chase after my dazzling self, right?"
I couldn't help but let out a "What?"
The Off-Worlder tilted his head at me, "What's the four eleven on your brain boggle situation, comrade?"
Fuck this.
I lunged towards him, using [Link Portal] to materialise a portal behind the Off-Worlder with the exit outside the inn.
Even as we were flying through the air, the Off-Worlder didn't seem that concerned and even smirked at me, "Wowza! So we're totally diving into an ultra showdown! Let's bring on the mega mayhem and get this battle bonanza party poppin'!"
Holy crap could you just shut up already?!
I kicked the Off-Worlder in the abdomen, sending the Off-Worlder flying towards the direction of the desert.
I flew after him, reaching the desert just as he crashed on the sand.
Flaring my wings, I slowed my descent towards the landing site, preparing myself to beat him up just for the stupid things he had put me through.
I expected him to at least be hurt but he was standing in the crater while dusting himself like nothing happened.
"Whoa, major ouch-town! Couldn't you like, drop a friendly 'What's up, buttercup?' before going full blown kickity kick mode?"
How the hell?
I tucked my wings and dove towards him, pulling back my fist in preparation to punch towards him.
The Off-Worlder didn't even adopt a stance or prepare himself and just stood there.
I decided not to hold back this time and punched forward at full force, aiming to at least break some bones on him.
Just as my fist shot forward, he suddenly raised his right hand and blocked my punch with his palm.
Wait... That's Hydromancy... He did not have Hydromancy magic listed in his magic skills either!
Don't tell me that the skills that I have been seeing were fake the entire time?! Did he trick me?!
Also, he did not chant to cast that magic either! What the hell is going on here?!
While I was thinking about that, the smoke was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind, revealing him still slowly walking towards me with a smirk on that stupid face of his.
I shot a [Laser] that was aimed at his leg, aiming to cripple him.
The Off-Worlder reacted immediately by creating a wall of shadow in front of him which blocked my spell from even reaching him.
Things were definitely not looking good for me right now...
The shadow wall dematerialised to reveal the Off-Worlder standing there unscathed with his infuriating smirk still plastered on that fake face.
"So you still clinging to that 'I've got this' vibe like you're in a Rocky montage? Maybe it's time for you to tucker out and call it a day 'cause this is epicly mission impossible for you, blud!"
I really, really want him to just shut his mouth right now...
I said nothing and just glared at him, my arms almost fully healed by now.
Even so, what could I do?
He clearly had higher base strength than I did and he could cast chantless magic as well... I can't even trust whatever I saw with [Screened] and this guy most likely knew exactly what I was capable of since he also had [Screened].
Tch... Fine, I guess I should stop holding back then... Just as I was about to call upon my Shadow Guards, the ground around him suddenly exploded, sending the sand blasting upwards and causing him to take a step back in surprise.
That turned out to be a trap because the sand suddenly collapsed to form an even deeper crater which he ended up dropping inside.
The winds suddenly picked up which churned up the sand to create a mini sand tornado right in front of him before it started moving towards him.
I didn't get to see what happened next because two figures appeared in front of me.
Just as I recognised them to be Sherry and Melanin, Sherry suddenly scooped me up in a princess carry before leaping out of the crater with Melanin following suit behind her.
Melanin paused for a moment to throw something back into the crater where the Off-Worlder was still dealing with the mini tornado before the both of them started sprinting away from the hole to head back towards the town.
"Young Mistress! Are you ok?!" Sherry cried out, worry clear on her face.
"Save it for later, Sherry, we need to get as far away from here as we can right now!" Melanin cried out.
Before I could ask what she threw inside the hole, the crater exploded violently, throwing up a small mushroom cloud that could be easily seen from the town itself.
What the heck did you throw inside there, Melanin?!
