Chapter 2007: Memory Eater EX II
2007 Memory Eater EX II
"Get out of this place and die, interfering bastard!" Adrian shouted as he launched the spear with all of the nether energy in the area.
[You have created a fighting technique called the Nether Spear Blast]
The Nether Spear Blast shot towards the eye that was peeking through the rift and is successfully hit. The evil god was able to see the spear move and is able to create a barrier to somewhat defend its eye, but that defensive barrier is not enough. The evil god used its powers to defend the rift which meant that it has altered part of the reality in the main world, and it knew that it should not have done that.
Interfering with the main world also meant that the rules of the main world will interfere with the evil god. The energy that the evil god was using to maintain the small rift suddenly became bigger in expenditure. The rift that was not closing started to slowly close and the hold that the evil god has of the main world started to die down. In the end, the barrier that it used to prevent Adrian's attack shattered as it became weak.
Adrian's spear destroyed the barrier and shot towards the eye of the evil god. As soon as the spear hit, a powerful nether energy blast exploded as the evil god from beyond the rift could be heard screaming in pain. The eye that was looking at Adrian closed and opened with more pressure, but the nether flames burned it. The evil god looked incredibly angered to the point that it tried to use some sort of tendrils to rip apart the dimension, but the restriction of the world forced it back.
[You have managed to damage an Absolute Being.]
[You have gained a permanent damage buff.]
[All of your damage will be permanently increased by 3%.]
The evil god was forced back, and the rift finally shut itself due to Adrian's interference. He knew that the rift lingering would make the evil god's influence bloom once more which is why closing it is his top priority. Adrian suddenly transformed back to his normal self as he unfurled his wings to look at the next enemy. One would think that Adrian's exchange with the evil god occurred in a span of ten minutes, but it actually occurred in only under a minute.
The exchange might have been longer if Adrian did not think up a plan immediately. The evil god could not see Adrian when time stopped because it is not in the main world. When time is stopped in the main world, the evil god would only see a frozen world as time is not the same in other dimensions. Adrian thought this would work and his gamble paid off as he managed to force an evil god to not interfere.
"Next is the Memory Eater EX!" Adrian muttered as he changed his form to his Aetheros form since a mythical tier enemy is not that easy to deal with.
Adrian disappeared from his area once he stabilizes himself and pulled up his twin daggers. He reappeared next to Piggy Bank and parried the sharp claws that was about to separate the latter's head from his neck. The Memory Eater EX managed to recover from the powerful punch that Piggy Bank used as parts of its head caved in. Piggy Bank is shocked upon seeing Adrian and the Memory Eater EX clash, but he soon recovered.
Piggy Bank knew that he must carry his weight as he felt bad for Kanlaon tanking all the damage that was meant for him. Coin felt the drive of its master and unlocked a special ability which is called Merchant Overspending. Coin could make any merchant related damaging skill to have no fixed damage multiplier. The damage would be bigger, but the downside is that the money being burned would also be bigger.
The attack that Piggy Bank used to make the Memory Eater EX' head cave in is done by burning 100,000 gold coins. The sheer amount of gold coins burned is at the level of half a million dollars which is why Piggy Bank's attack was powerful. This made the Memory Eater EX think of Piggy Bank as the most dangerous being currently as it decreased its health to 20% with one punch.
"Grand Money Punch!" Piggy Bank shouted as he wanted to counterattack the Memory Eater EX while Adrian was holding it back.
The Memory Eater EX shuddered as it used the ability of the First Golden Goblin King to escape. Piggy Bank's golden fist hit nothing but air, but it also meant that 80% of the gold coins he used is refunded. Adrian looked at the Memory Eater EX clearly and saw its current remaining health. Upon seeing the number, Adrian literally smiled as this battle can now be done with.
Monster Name: Memory Eater EX
Monster Type: Extraterrestrial
Monster Tier: Mythical
Level: 400
HP: 19%
MP: 10%
Description: A monster that is born as a parasite but has now fully fused with its host using the unknown power of an evil god that it has summoned through sheer desperation. It now has the full abilities of the First Golden Goblin Lord while having an exoskeleton that is slightly increased defense. It is still weak to physical attacks, but its body is no longer in the realm of normal.
Monster Thought: Kill the Golden Fist! Absorb the soul of the host! It hurts!!!
"Sirius, Charon, Kimat, make sure to aim for the kill! Saena, heal Piggy Bank and the others. Wisteria, create a field of leaves that obscure vision!" Adrian commanded as all of his active soulbounds started to get back fighting as they are healed more efficiently due to Adrian's current form.
Sirius emerged from the shadow realm even though it was still hurt and aimed for the neck of the Memory Eater EX. The Memory Eater EX managed to sense the bloodlust and escape before Sirius was able to bite its neck. The Memory Eater EX thought that it has already escaped but Charon was waiting at the area where it will reappear. This is possible because Adrian made Paradox focus on the changes in space.
Finding out where the Memory Eater EX will reappear was a cakewalk since the host was only blessed by a god of space. In this new era where demons are the only ones that can use spatial magic normally, finding the path of transfer is easy. One might even say that the Daemos are the new Gods of Time and Space due to their power over Origin Magic.
Charon was able to lock in onto the Memory Eater EX and wrap it with his chains. Some of the chains that Charon used pointed to the sky as lighting summoned by Kimat rained down. The chains acted as a lightning rod while Charon hid underground in order to negate the damage. The Memory Eater EX screamed as it got directly hit by lightning.
The Memory Eater EX managed to accustom itself to the pain which is why it managed to activate teleportation once again. Adrian with Paradox' help tracked the path once more and the Memory Eater EX was greeted by numerous sharp leaves as soon as it reappeared. Sirius then emerged from the shadows and aimed for the Memory Eater EX' neck once more.
The Memory Eater EX managed to react quick but not fast enough. Sirius was unable to hit the Memory Eater EX' neck but the arm was pulled off. Sirius did not even devour the arm as he tossed it towards Saena which she easily disintegrated with a burst of light. The Memory Eater EX was about to scream in anger when a dagger suddenly got plunged into its back.
"First one." Adrian calmly stated.
[You have successfully aimed for one of the weak spots shown.]
[The Memory Eater EX has lost 10% of its maximum health.]
[All subsequent hits will now deal 5% of its current health.]
The Memory Eater EX screamed in pain much louder than before as its weak spot was destroyed. The Memory Eater EX tried to slash at Adrian with its remaining arm, but he has already vanished. The Memory Eater EX suddenly kneeled on the ground as gravity intensified to a great degree instantly. The Memory Eater EX was unable to react immediately, but it did try to teleport away.
The Memory Eater EX tried to gather mana to make itself teleport away, but the space has already been sealed. The Memory Eater EX is suddenly confused as it could not utilize the special ability of the host it has fused with.
"You cannot get away because this is your end." Adrian stated as he appeared just above the Memory Eater EX and plunged his two daggers on the caved in skull.
[You have executed the Memory Eater EX by dealing 5% of its maximum health due to hitting its weak spot.]
