Chapter 162 - 162 Round 2 Start!
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!" This part of the universe turned into a great battle field that welcomed no one in their vicinity.
It was good that our bored gamer has chosen this place as his destination because he knew for a fact that nothing would be harmed in this dead expanse of space.
'I can't believe that I'm being woman handled by someone of the 2nd Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm!'
Clark had a bitter smile on his face as he was quite busy escaping from the fanatic charge of one very determined goddess.
His mind conjured up ways in order to separate himself from this chase but found out quickly enough that his options were indeed pretty limited at the moment.
'This crazy woman is out of this world! How could the Elder God find someone like this justice starved fool in his pocket?!'
In the end, our good gamer could only complain against the dice that has turned upon him today.
He knew that seeking for fairness against a Supreme Being that he knew little to nothing about was stupidity at its best. And so Clark could only begin an endless monologue inside his head.
"Void breaking? Done and pretty much ineffective!" Clark tallied the first thing he had done and checked the result accordingly.
He could see from behind him that with just one simple slash of the nameless goddess' sword was enough to follow him into the void and she could even match his speed with ease.
How absurd was this notion?! One should know that our bored gamer was already the fastest cultivator in this xianxia universe because of his 5 billion power stat.
Should he say that he was second in terms of speed, no one amongst the collection of True Immortals in this Mortal Realm would dare say they were first simply because of how incredibly powerful our boy protagonist has become since he had killed a True God a few days before.
Alas, this balance of logic and comprehension failed to register towards everyone's mind as everyone of these lofty Existences was indeed very much surprised by the scene that assailed their divine senses at the moment.
'This woman is already so strong with just using some ordinary sword slash from that gigantic sword of hers.
I can't imagine how stronger she would get once she would arrive in the Foundation Establishment Realm!' Our bored gamer visibly shivered from this possibility.
It was common knowledge that cultivator's could begin to wield the forces of nature once they arrived in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If this had been the case for this woman today, Clark would have no doubt been slapped by more than this woman's sword at his back.
He looked at his left arm and saw that the missing limb had already regenerated in full. This little trick was child's play for True Immortals.
And even if this ability was not afforded towards Clark, he could have taken one health potion from his inventory and the same result would have happened without suspense.
But what made him tremble in fear was the fact that even with his armor Darkheart, Carapace of the Undying on his body, that was still not enough to block one trivial strike from that nameless woman's sword.
'Let me try another trick then.' Clark determined and he did not even have to wield his spear at the moment. His weapon stayed secure inside his system inventory space because he did not want to use any fatal attacks unto his relentless pursuer.
"Go." Our good gamer muttered and the void was transformed into a blinding amalgamation of energies.
The blurry picture that separated what was real and empty was caked in a blinding light that even the gathered True Immortals from beyond the point of conflict has momentarily lost sight of our bored gamer and the woman behind him.
* * *
"What is that secret technique?" One aged immortal asked.
He tried to fathom the thick abstract vision in that faraway distance and yet he could not peer into its mysteries and instead felt his divine senses turned even duller by the second.
"You unlearned maggot! How could you not know what that is?! That is called a Grand Formation of the Sages!"
Another True Immortal berated the first one and it was clear that there was plain pride in his voice.
This ancient being has dabbled his eternal life with the intricate designs of the Dao of Formations. And indeed, he was truly gifted in this sacred art.
This was the reason why above all others, this True Immortal could determine some truths that only so few among them could dare boast.
* * *
"Is she gone for good?" Clark sighed in relief as he tried to scatter his divine senses in all directions.
A breath later, there was a big smile on his face when he could not trace any scent of that nameless goddess.
"Hehehe. I'm really so awesome! You can catch me later, Insane Lady!" Our bored gamer taunted in this empty part of space and was gone in but seconds after that.
He may be arrogant sometimes but he was never careless at all.
"TAP!"
"TAP!"
"TAP!" Clark's figure kept on disappearing from one place to the other as he did not want to leave any mark whatsoever of his journey back home.
If that nameless goddess could find him in his original xianxia world then it would spell tragedy for not only the people he cared about but also to all inhabitants in that world.
Thirty breaths passed quickly and upon the next second when our bored gamer was about to exit his void travel, an epic greeting punched him fully in the face.
"WHOOSH!" A golden giant sword appeared from out of the blue and on its path was the greedy promise of doom towards anyone and anything on its way.
It was so fast and furious that Clark had trouble believing that the one who wielded such a weapon remained ever innocent in the eyes of the system.
Unfortunately, the big green indication overhead a woman's 10 foot body contradicted what our bored gamer had thought otherwise.
It was at this point that Clark's life flashed before his eyes.
The heat of a burning blade was so close to his neck already but what registered at his senses was how improbably beautiful this nameless goddess was.
More than that, her smell lingered in his nose for the longest time he could imagine.
"Time Stop!" Clark thought at the last second and everything was forcibly halted from existing.
The heavenly bodies nearby stopped moving but the same could not be said to one mighty force that turned the tables on our bored gamer's cast.
"CRACK!" The golden blade broke into pieces but not before a makeshift dagger from the torn sword found its way unto the eye of our stunned protagonist.
"WISHHHH!" The weapon stabbed downwards which sought life and blood in its aftermath. It was only sad that neither was rewarded upon this courageous Lady of Justice.
Although there was mangled flesh before her but it was nothing but a copy of her true target.
"Is that all you can do? Run? Aren't you tired of running already?" The nameless goddess whispered into the dark surround of space and vanished to continue on her eternal quest.
* * *
In a very familiar world, Clark found himself gasping for breath.
"FUCK ME! That was too close. So close!" Our bored gamer wiped off the sweat from his forehead as he tried to create counter measures from his rapidly vanishing alternatives.
He had used his Class Skill Body Switch from before and it was unfortunate that his Blood Twin has paid the price for his weakness.
"With my Blood Twin gone for twenty four hours, I still have one last card left in me.
The Life after Death skill would give me one last chance and after that, I'd be really dead for real this time!"
Clark concluded and scoured the vast realms of this universe. It did not take him long this time around to find the location of that nameless goddess.
"No point in running anymore." Clark smiled in acceptance and stopped to take a breather as he knew for a fact that there was really no place he could go to outrun his adversary.
Since this unwanted visitor of his broke everything that he knew about cultivators and what they can do, there was really no reason in getting upset with some truths that he could never change no matter how hard he tried.
But that did not mean that our bored gamer would take his probable demise lying down.
After all, he still got one more trick up his sleeves and it would be very very stupid of him to not use of it at this extremely dire time of his life.
"Are you there, Nancy?" Clark called his system cheat.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy replied in the usual sweet and sunny voice that she had.
"Hmmm... Good, good. Can she be killed, Nancy?"
Clark queried and it was of course obvious that he was pointing his fingers towards the lunatic of a woman that had the unreasonable wish to take his head as a trophy.
"Negative, host. That woman is named..." Nancy answered and would have no doubt narrate a long list of facts about the lady.
This was why our bored gamer halted his system's efforts before she could gain traction in the info dump that she was about to deliver.
Clark had more pressing matters to attend. And as it was, time was of the essence.
"I don't need you to tell me anything about the lady or where she came from. I only want to know one other thing, Nancy. Can that woman be defeated?"
Our good gamer queried one more time.
"Affirmative, host. Although that person is nigh impossible to kill but she also has her weaknesses. You only need to..."
A full minute passed and the serious face of our bored gamer was now replaced by a wide grin. A shade of excitement could even be seen from Clark's countenance.
"Time to get me some payback, Insane Lady! Round 2 start!"
