Chapter 619: Rematch, Primordial Matter
I take out some kesaran-pasaran meat from [Dimension] and eat it with Aro and treant, then look up at the sky. This area is close to where the kesaran-pasarans were, and to where we encountered the origin matter. If I fly around here, the origin matter should reappear.
『…Let’s go.』
With Aro and treant on my back, I check that they're ready one last time.
The apophis was weak enough for me to completely control the battle. While they've been levelling, I've always been on standby nearby to protect them. The hecatoncheir is terrifyingly strong, but it’s always possible to run away from, so there's not much risk of death.
But, the origin matter is different. Not only does it have high HP and MP, it has extremely strong magic and crazy powerful wide-area skills. It uses the spammable high-firepower [Dark Ray], the [Dimension Rend] that can only be dodged if I predict it, and the pretty much unavoidable [Big Bang].
By myself, I wouldn’t have a chance. That’s why I need Aro and the treant to take on some risk with me. Even if I were able to completely outmanoeuvre the origin matter, it probably still wouldn’t be enough. It’s an opponent we can only possibly beat by fighting together.
This might well be the most dangerous battle in this Ngai Forest. If we’re able to defeat the origin matter and free a divine skill holder or two from the [Dark Frozen Prison], it should be possible for us to defeat the hecatoncheir. This battle is the most critical step.
I fly straight up. The giant dark trees that cover the forest fade into the distance below me.
After flying around for a while, I spot a distant black sphere flying towards us. It has a diameter about as long as my total body span, and is covered by thin lines that shift and swirl fluidly.
