Chapter 1543: Welcome To ’MySpace’

I cracked my knuckles and raised my fists, watching as the shadowy figure slowly stood back on its feet.

I gave it a come hither motion, "Come on, bitch. You think you’re the big boss of this place. Pull up."

That seemed to piss it off because it immediately blinked over to me and tried to grab me by the neck again.

I was prepared for it so I went ahead to knock its arm aside and give it another punch in its abdomen.

The entity was flung back to the wall again, slamming hard against it and shaking the room with the impact.

I could chase after him of course, but I just stayed where I was and did the same beckoning motion again.

"Come on. That’s all you got? Put them up, bitch."

Yes, I’m taunting this guy, because I’ve realised that this must be the boss of this place, or at least someone important.

And I have a feeling that if I were to beat him... I would ’win’.

I say ’win’ because I don’t even know what would happen after I beat this guy... Or thing... Or whatever this is supposed to be. Maybe nothing would happen or maybe everyone gets sent back to where they were before they entered this space.

Ironically... This would doom all the humans who are still surviving inside this place as they might appear where our old World used to be, only to be floating in empty space.

Well... If you ask me what I think about that... I would just say... Not my problem.

I watched the entity get back up again, this time standing where it was and making no move to attack me.

I know better than to let my guard down so I kept my hands up and my eyes trained on the thing.

It stared at me with its faceless head and I could tell that it was either planning to do something or already trying to do something.

That was when I felt a pressure pressing on my head, like something had wrapped itself around my head and was trying to squeeze my brains out of my skull.

Keyword here is ’trying’ though... Because it’s not really working.

While there is that pressure around my head, it’s not really painful or anything and it really just stopped at that... Just pressure.

I know that this was that entity’s doing so I went ahead to punch the air, sending a compressed air bullet flying forward to strike it in the face.

It smacked against its face, causing the pressure around my head to disappear.

Its head was forced to the side from the impact but it instantly snapped back, the shadows around it coalescing like an angry flock of creatures around it.

The room around us seemed to change again and the walls turned from its earlier beige colour into a rusted brown with what looked like blood stains dripping down on its surface.

The door had also disappeared and it felt like this thing had just transported both of us into another space where it had trapped me with no way to leave.

I punched my fists together and smirked at it, "You don’t need to worry, I have no intention of leaving here until I beat you."

It raised its palm to point at me and the room around me seemed to twist and morph itself, like I was suddenly placed in some kind of abstract art painting.

I felt my sense of balance disappear and it was like there was no longer an up or down for me.

For a normal person... I guess this would feel very confusing and they would be unable to do anything but... Hey, this wasn’t the first time I have found myself being suspended in the air.

All I had to do was focus my attention on that entity and I didn’t even need to care that my sense of direction was being messed around with.

"That’s the best you can do?" I taunted.

That was when a sharp pain came from my arm and I watched as flakes of my skin seemed to break away before the top part of my arm seemed to start decaying.

Interesting...

I immediately used [Heal] on myself, watching as the magic took effect and reversed the decaying effect to restore my arm back to normal.

I saw the entity jerk in surprise, probably not expecting me to be able to do that at all so I went ahead to point my palm and shoot out a bolt of lightning at it.

The lightning bolt struck it in the chest, shocking it with an explosion of electricity and knocking it back a few feet.

The shadows around it floundered for a moment, like they were screaming in pain in its stead before a wall of force crashed into me.

I managed to hold my ground and shrug off the attack, returning it with a ball of fire that I launched at it.

The fireball exploded against its face and set it on fire, the entity seemingly not even caring while the fire burned around its head.

I felt another wave of force crash against me, this one hitting harder than the previous one though it was not enough to do anything to me.

I threw another fireball, this time aimed at its torso instead and it also exploded to start burning its chest but it showed no effect on him.

It stretched out its hands again and the space around us shifted once again, this time changing the walls into a blood red colour and before red liquid started gushing out from the floor to rapidly fill up the room.

I felt the liquid splash against my leg and the water level rapidly rising past my ankles and quickly reaching my knees.

I didn’t really want this red liquid, which I assumed was blood, to stain my dress so I decided to change the location.

At this point, I think I’ve given it enough time to see what it could do and this is where I finish it.

I looked at the entity in front of me, "You think you’re the only one who can put people in other spaces, eh?"

I stretched out my hands and the space was suddenly filled with my Shadow Guards, numbering a hundred and fifty in total.

Their sudden appearance seemed to have surprised it, since it clearly did not know what I was capable of.

I then materialised my crown and staff, the crown already activating its effects and strengthening me.

"You like changing spaces so much? Come to mine," I called out, activating the effects of the staff.

The entire room shifted again as I pulled everyone that had been in the room into my dimensional space.

At the same time, I had all hundred and fifty of my Shadow Guards cast buffing spells on each other to fulfil the condition of getting them ’involved’ with this fight.

In an instant, I could feel my own stats skyrocket from being increased a hundred and fifty times and across from me, the entity suddenly fell to its knees as it was weakened a hundred and fifty times.

I stepped towards it, closing the distance between me and the shadowy figure in an instant to stand in front of it.

It tilted its head up to look at me and I grabbed it by its neck to lift it up, doing the same exact thing it did to me when it first saw me.

I watched it struggle in my grasp, its hands thrashing around and trying to hit me but... With its stats decreased, it literally felt like I was being smacked by paper or something.

I let it struggle for a bit before lifting it up higher and slamming it into the ground.

I even intentionally held back so it didn’t die on first hit and went ahead to slam it repeatedly against the ground.

It tried to fight back the first few slams but nothing it did stopped me from slamming it on the ground so it switched up to try and protect itself instead by curling up into a ball.

I then threw it up into the air and focused all of my strength into my fist, pulling it back and taking aim at the entity before punching up as it came back down.

My fist met with its abdomen and the sound was erased from around me before the impact ripped the entity apart.

One moment the entity was there and the next... It completely disappeared. Its existence was wiped away like it was never there.

I waited to see if it would reform itself but... There was only silence and empty space at where it once was.

Huh... That was easier than I thought...

I then stored my Shadow Guards away and returned myself out of the dimension I created, only to find myself back in the corridors with the yellow walls again.

Really?
