Chapter 225: Ch 225: A Close Escape
The powerful being that was blocking their way did not have a body like most living beings. It was in a state of colourful gas that was constantly changing its colours. But when this being initiate an attack, it could make its body solid and very hard.
As for this being's powers, from what Rein had observed, it was unable to use any kinds of long distance attack. But it was very compatible with the space of the void, so this being was capable of moving very fast, almost instantly in this void. So the lack of long distance attack was not even a problem for it.
As for how this entity attacks, it did nothing special and just attacked in a straightforward way.
But that simple straightforward attack was able to split the solid and compact space of the void like a knife through butter. Its attacks were extremely fast and dodging them was almost impossible. So Rein would be trying to keep this monster as far away from him and his lovers as possible.
But there was one thing that they needed to be careful about. Even though this monster did not have a long distance attack, sometimes it would suddenly start to randomly expand its gaseous body. If anyone came in contact with the expanding gas, then that person would immediately be attacked with this being's full force.
Avoiding that would be the most important thing as this expansion happened randomly and the pace was also very fast.
So Rein would be covering his lovers with his space manipulation technique and would try to stay away from the powerful being as much as possible. He had investigated this monster very thoroughly and had also managed to find out some patterns in its movements. He was going to use those patterns to plan his route.
The space around the monster was always under its control as their compatibility was so high. So if this monster came close to Rien's location, he would not be able to hide everyone's presence anymore.
The plan was simple and straightforward but their route was definitely not. Rein needed to go through many twists and turns as the space here was very entangled and in a very chaotic state.
All his lovers followed behind him very cautiously making sure that they were not going outside of the protective presence hiding barrier that Rein had created. But still they all were amazed by the scenery that they got to witness.
As the area where they were previously in was very stable, the void there was still and boring. But here the void was extremely active and they got to see many phenomena related to space which were extremely mystical.
The effect of this was also immediately. Lan's comprehension of space immediately reached a higher degree and the other lovers also benefited a lot from this experience. If they were able to go back to their world safely, all of them would be able to control the spatial laws without much trouble.
They needed to travel across only eighty miles to reach a location which Rein had judged to be perfect to create a spatial portal. When Rein would be trying to create the portal, the barrier hiding them would immediately disappear and the focus of the powerful being would definitely turn toward them.
Even though his lovers had gotten quite powerful, they would not be able to handle this entity at all. Even Rein with his Rain gain would have a hard time against it. But currently with his eye of Truth, perfect body and space manipulation, Rein was a little bit confident in holding this monster back for a few moments.
But if Rein was busy holding this monster back, then someone else needed to break the space of the void to create the portal connecting his their world. Currently Lan had the best comprehension of the void space among Rein's lovers and Colinde had the highest destructive power even without her demon slaying talent. So both of them needed to work together if they wanted to break the space.
This was not something they were able to rehearse so Rein was not sure how much time they would need to do this. He would definitely try his best to somehow hold off this entity for as long as possible but if he was unable to hold it back for long enough then all his lovers would definitely die and Rein would also be long dead even before that. And that way he would fail the trial in this world.
But Rein believed in his lovers. He was sure that they would do absolutely everything perfectly to not put his life in danger. With that belief, Rein asked Lan and Colinde to start their operation.
As soon as the process of breaking the space started, there was a violent fluctuation in the void. The powerful entity immediately noticed this fluctuation and saw through the barrier that Rein was using to hide their presence.
When this monster was still unaware of their presence, Rein's barrier was able to hide it. But as soon as this entity tried even a little bit to see through the barrier, it was able to do that immediately.
Rein dispelled the barrier as it was useless now and went toward this entity. He wanted their fight location to be as far away from his lovers as possible. Rein was still worried if this entity would follow him or not as it might also target his lovers. In that case he would not be able to prevent this being from disturbing Colinde and Lan.
But fortunately this entity judged Rein to be the most dangerous person present here and went after him. Rein did not fight this being head in and instead used his Spatial manipulation to avoid its attacks.
Not only that but Rein also used his eye of Truth to find weak points of this being and attacked them. Those attacks did not do too much damage but it was at least able to stagger the entity and that bought more time for the ladies.
Rein was obviously not able to dodge all the attacks and was badly injured. But with his perfect body's regeneration and his own willpower, he was somehow able to hold on. But his situation was not looking good and if this continued Rein would definitely die even with his overpowered self healing.
After a few moments, Rein suddenly felt the presence of the world very clearly. This was the sign that Colinde and Lan were able to successfully open a portal. Now Rein just needed to somehow reach the portal while holding this monster back.
That looked like an impossible job but as this being moved using the space as a medium, Rein used his space manipulation beyond his limit to block the perception of space for this being. Then he used this slight chance to go toward the portal.
Just a moment before this portal closed, Rein was able to pass through it and was able to escape the void. That was definitely a close escape.
