Chapter 859 Show Off and Tell

"This is no attack but just a little tussle. And since my little master is knocked out, I might as well show those State Agents guys why they should not come near him for the time being." Kraft smiled as he stopped suppressing his chi and activated it fully for once. A burst of black aura immediately filled the forest with dread and misery.

State Agent Mr Know-It-All overheard what Kraft had mumbled before he showed his aura (Did he want him to hear it?) and already prepared counter chi aura defences for himself, but he was not fast enough to do the same for Ryuli.

Yet, when Kraft released his abyssal black chi into the surroundings, Mr Know-It-All was surprised by the strength of Kraft's overflowing chi. Ryuli simply did not stand a chance and fell to the ground unconscious. Were it not for her grade, she would have been choked to death, or that was what she thought.

"My bad, I should have maybe warned you." Kraft 'apologised' with a smirk on his face as he watched two State Agents unable to effectively withstand the aura. At this moment, behind his long coat, a black flurry tail appeared, and it subsequently separated itself into nine tails.

Those nine tails eventually grew more prominent with the chi he put in, stretched, and aimed for the Loopa Ooofpa. "Your stupid hand tentacles were a pain in the ass. Come and have a taste of your own medicine." Kraft spoke as the tails were only restraining him and pulling him nearer to the Banishment Circle.

"Ew, I always knew you were a foxy person, but your tail is seriously fugly. Do you need me to burn some of the fur and trim it?" Peppers teased as she was the only person not affected by Kraft's chi which indicated to State Agents that she was either a monster at Kraft's level or that he was in perfect control over his own chi. That itself would be a feat because not every person that exuded their aura would be able to control the strength of its dispersion.

By showing Kraft could do that easily while attacking the colossal manifestation meant that he does have the skills to back his cheap threats. However, the State Agents were currently being suppressed by Kraft's chi, and they could not see the overall picture.

The Original Bellator did not perform what was mentioned, his chi aura literally slowed the entire horde from moving forward during that duration. The only ones from the audience who were not affected by this were the Royal Zodiac soldiers and Border Guards who were outside his range and still frantically throwing whatever they got from the border walls to ensure that the Horde did not overpower them.

"Do you want me to wrap one of these tails around you instead, Munchkin?"

Peppers knew Kraft long enough. Whenever he changed her form of address to Munchkin, it was better to not push him further on a point. Apparently, the colouration of his tails fell under that category. (Was there perhaps an underlying reason for it?)

"Is the spell ready?"

"I would not be talking to you right now if it weren't." Peppers stuck out her tongue (her quiet form of revenge) and aimed her staff at the Loopa Ooofpa. A series of magic circles started to pop out all around the Unceasing Hunger.

"Good job. Now the moment I remove my tails, I will activate the second part of the Banishment Circle, my very own revision." Kraft 'warned' her but he already let his tails off and let off a smirk. He did not want to be part of Peppers' delayed explosion (Oh Karma would be such a bitch, if Peppers pulled it off.) and he also had to prevent the Loopa Ooofpa from eating any of his tails.

"Why, you!" Peppers triggered the spell activation, and the magic circles immediately turned into silhouettes of syringes. The Loopa Ooofpa instantly saw the needles as a threat and stopped eating any more of its 'children'. Instead, it began to form a barrier, but the multiple syringes around him merely proceeded forward and stabbed the Unceasing Hunger.

It wailed in pain as the syringes pushed its long needle into the main body as Peppers magically squeezed every single plunger and caused her own specially prepared magical content in liquid form into the Loopa Ooofpa.

"Dayum! This will certainly be one hell of an explosion when it gets banished!" Kraft thought to himself as he now directed the chi around the forest to create a replica of Jin's Banishment Circle right above the Loopa Ooofpa.

He had tried to fiddle with his master's ritual circle but realised that there was only so much chi he could insert into it without breaking the balance within the spell. Therefore, he recreated the circle based on the design itself. While it would prove to be only half as effective or even 25% of the strength because of its haphazard replication of the symbols on it, it would still be a deterrent without knowing the chant Zieg had spoken to handle the intricacies of the Banishment Circle.

True enough, the makeshift Banishment Circle started to affect the Loopa Ooofpa's movement while the real Banishment Circle turned into a large metaphysical gate of Hell that spread around the forest and started to pull the Unceasing Hunger back to where it belonged.

Technically, because it was a manifestation, it should not exist the moment it reached Hell, but like what Kraft had said, he was not taking any chances to make sure there were no two Loopa Ooofpa or a variant of it existing simultaneously. (It was as if he knew such an incident had happened and bit him back before.)

But to the people around the metaphysical gate, they were amazed to see such an extraordinary sight of the Loopa Ooofpa struggling to pull itself out of the gate.

"No, you don't. We have put in a shit ton of stuff to ensure you aren't coming back." Kraft declared as he used his tails to gather the surrounding chi to form a ball of black energy which he used to provide an extra push.

The Monster Horde, now unhindered by Kraft's chains, started to move forward. Unfortunately, they did not know that the System had already locked all of them in its sights the moment Kraft had managed to slow them down. Whether that was a coincidence or Kraft indirectly helping the System didn't matter as each, and every Bone Spirit Infused Demons were teleported into various island instances in Jin's prototype Open World concept for safekeeping.

While the Unceasing Hunger did its best to resist, Kraft looked at the two crippled State Agents who were still under the influence of his chi. "Now, just for a quick little experiment to see if it works for human beings too."

Kraft thought as he rubbed his fingers a little and two minuscule foxes appeared on his palm. "Go, Foxy Version 2. Let's see if you can assimilate with their chi and collect information from the notorious State Agents."

Kraft squeezed his hand with more chi, causing his latest trick to 'disappear' as he walked towards the two and extended a hand to help them up.

The menace was no more and 'assumed' to be exploded into oblivion.
