Terrarian Chapter 99 (Patreon)

With Bell protecting our goddesses I went ahead to get ready to fight The Vagrant of Space and Time boss.

"Alright, Eridani. I am ready." I spoke as I took out the Frigid Bolt Book as my magical weapon of choice in my left hand, and in my right I held the Celestial Claymore.

I heard a mental grunt of affirmation from my guide to being a Starfarer. And then a pulse of energy emanated from her form as a signal. A signal outwards into the very void and it responded.

A tear in reality formed and as it opened Eridani whispered. "The trial is here."

And from the tear in reality came the The Vagrant of Space and Time. A humanoid armored shape of pure darkness that was armed with an arm cannon that covered his left arm. And his right arm held a black blade that had stars seemingly gliding over it that made my senses scream at me in warning.

Without a word spoken we both dashed towards one another. As there would be words spoken. The Vagrant were the entities that failed their ascension into a true Starfarer and be graced by the energies which permeated the void between worlds. Should I fail to kill it, I myself would become a Vagrant of Space and Time stuck endlessly challenging aspirants who desired to walk the path.

I opened the battle using the Frigid Bolt Book using the magical book to send a stream of glacier-blue cold flames, that swirled around opposite scalding crimson flames. The flames collided with the failed Starfarer making its form shimmer before a wave of darkness pushed back the flames from its frame and I dodged to the side to avoid a long lance of star-filled purple darkness that was shot from the arm cannon.

It seemed that the Vagrant was a melee specialist though as it kept moving closer to me as it shot its long lances of darkness at me but I was giving it a good beating to it with the frigid bolt flames as its darkness power was being wasted stopping the magical bolts from doing damage to it.

And finally it shot it powerful lance of power behind itself to propel its form to me to close the gap and I met its darkness sword with my Celestial Claymore and the collision of our blades made dense energy crackle furiously!

My eyes partially blinded by the eldritch exchange of energy didn't mean my other senses were blinded as I ducked under a lance from its arm canon and then with a grunt I drop kicked the Vagrant in the chest with a harsh cracking noise as my level four strength cratered its chest in sending it skidding across the ground.

"Your body is much stronger than most baseline Starfarer's who haven't visited multiple worlds Jake." Eridani whispered into my mind and the Falna was a damned good increase to my baseline strength so I couldn't deny it.

Regardless though it was clear that the Vagrant at least this one, was an entity of powerful weapons... But not nearly so much a powerful body as I could feel its bones shatter as I kicked it in its chest like the level 1 Evilus Members I killed.

However, I didn't respond to Eridani as I circled the Vagrant patiently. I had learned in the dungeon on my own and from Alfia, that rushing in to kill a monster was never the right choice. It was better to slowly and methodically tear them apart with overwhelming firepower until nothing was left!

Unless you needed the monsters material anyway.

With a 'Swish' of rushing air once again the Vagrant used its arm cannon to blast its way toward me with its sword swinging down at me but as it came down on me viciously I simply smiled as from the ground below my feet came two large skeleton hands that slapped the Vagrant out of the air onto the ground and from the ground came a massive worm larger than a cargo ship as my fully empowered Eater of Worlds summon tore into the Vagrant before a roar rang out as the Vagrant managed to cut the front head off the summon.

'That's one head... Have fun with the other ninety-nine.' I thought coldly but then a scream of gunfire rang out as the Blackhawk Jetfighter I got as the Wall of Flesh drew a line of explosive rounds across the ground as it passed made a fly by sending the Vagrant skidding across the ground with its arm cannon missing.

I didn't need to do anything thanks to my extra accessories mod meaning I had the majority of the Fargo's soul's boss accessories which meant I had a dozen-something Summons smashing the Vagrant to death.

Even Eridani muttered. "This is kinda cheating... But I like it Haha!" She finished chuckling as Sir Fluffykins the First got the killing blow by shooting his mini shark into the boss.

As the The Vagrant of Space and Time died I felt a weird energy filling my body. Honestly, it wasn't something noticeable as I couldn't feel the energy within myself but Eridani explained quickly thankfully. "You received the blessing of the void Jake. Now you can travel the void between worlds so long as the worlds aren't too far from one another."

'Would that show up in my Falna and make Seshat jealous?' I thought wryly to myself but regardless I nodded and said. "Alright, let's get going back then... I am going to spend some time with my friends before I figure out what world I want to head to anyway. I need to go to a world that can challenge me and provide a good tale of my challenge." I finished with Eridani muttering in agreement as I felt her mentally curling up to go back to sleep.
