Interdimensional Farming in Another World



The plan was simple, and its execution was swift. Kalina adeptly caught the monster's attention, its voracious appetite making it gaze at her lithe and graceful figure as if she was a delectable feast. The monster's salivating mouth made it clear that it eagerly awaited the opportunity to devour Kalina alive.

With a resounding "BOOOM!" the earth shattered and caved in as the monstrous creature made its initial move. Its colossal body, propelled by thick legs, barreled forward like a mighty cannonball in pursuit of Kalina.

However, Kalina proved to be nimble and elusive, effectively dodging the monster's every lunge. In the midst of evading its strikes, she skillfully took advantage of the situation, steadily increasing the distance between them.

Thus, the first step of the plan was executed effectively. Kalina made the monster focus on her rather than making it go after the weaker warriors. Thus preventing it from recovering its body temporarily. 

However, it was not as easy as it seemed. Kalina had already exhausted herself by launching an initial assault, tapping into the power of her spirit guardian possession state. As she tirelessly manoeuvred to avoid the relentless attacks of the stronger Tier 5 monster, the energy within her rapidly depleted. Her weary mind and fatigued body teetered on the brink of collapse.

And this displayed Kalina's righteous and indomitable will. Anyone else in her position would have abandoned the ship and escaped knowing the danger. And yet, she persisted without any complaint.

As time passed, the rampaging monster gradually came to the realisation that capturing Kalina would not be an easy task. Driven by instinct, it resorted to hurling large rocks in an attempt to gain the upper hand. This forced Kalina to expend additional energy, straining her already exhausted state as she desperately evaded the monster's relentless onslaught.

With each passing moment, Kalina could feel her ability to sustain her spirit guardian possession state slipping away. She knew that losing this ability would not only rob her of the power to fly but also leave her temporarily weakened. Such a circumstance would significantly increase the likelihood of her meeting a grim fate.

However, she trusted someone in the audience to help her. Which gave her enough confidence to fight until she had depleted every last vestige of energy within her.

And it didn't take long for her to require the help. 

"Swish…" A giant rock grazed past her. The icy wing that materialised behind her due to the spirit guardian possession state was chipped away by the rock. For a moment, Kalina lost her balance. 

The unexpected incident shook everyone in the audience. 

"Woosh!" She turned to her side and began to fall towards the ground. She didn't have the energy inside her to reconstruct her wings. She felt the pull of gravity as she fell head first towards the ground. 

Seizing the opportunity, the monster increased its speed, relentlessly pursuing the descending figure of Kalina. Its anticipation grew, and its mouth opened wide with the eagerness of devouring a delicious meal. 

From just a glance, you can see that the toughened layer of muscular skin that served as its protective armour showed signs of strain, on the verge of cracking. Consuming Kalina was not merely a desire; it had become a necessity for the monster to repair its damaged body. Thus, its excitement was fueled by a compelling need.

"Is this the end?" Kalina's thoughts raced through her mind in a fleeting moment as she witnessed the monster's jaws closing in on her. The scene resembled a shark launching itself towards its prey, with the monster leaping into the air, its hands tucked close to its body, creating a streamlined form to propel through the air and ensnare Kalina between its jaws. 

But, that thought only lasted for a second. Before she could think, a warm hand wrapped around her. 

Time slowed to a standstill, abruptly snapping Kalina out of her reverie. Just as the fierce monster's sharp teeth could bite her, someone hugged her from behind before teleporting away, leaving nothing but some dust in her place.

"Snap…" The monster closed its jaws believing that it had bit Kalina. However, the empty snapping sounds of teeth resounded throughout the surroundings. It couldn't feel anything inside its mouth. The expected taste of fresh blood and meat was not present sending the monster into a frenzy.

"ROAR!" The failure to capture its prey made the monster roar out in anger. 

In a fit of primal rage, the monster thrashed about, its movements wild and chaotic. It unleashed a roar, a thunderous bellow that echoed through the surroundings, expressing its anger and frustration. The monster, driven by its primal instincts, was consumed by the frustration of failing to capture its prey. 

Alex and Kalina reappeared far away from the monster after teleporting away. He carried Kalina in his arms while walking. They made their way towards the warriors of the ice phoenix tribe, leaving the monster and the chaos behind. 

Kalina, feeling a mix of embarrassment and relief, decided to pretend she was still unconscious. She hoped to salvage some dignity after the ordeal they had just experienced.

Despite her attempts to feign sleep, Kalina couldn't hide the telltale signs of her embarrassment. Her cheeks and ears blushed with a slight reddish hue, betraying her conscious state to Alex. He, however, chose not to acknowledge it, understanding her need to save face at the moment.

Alex halted a mere couple of meters away from the members of the Ice Phoenix tribe, who eagerly extended their hands to receive Kalina from his grasp. And he could see the void fish tribe warriors apologising to the ice phoenix tribe warriors because of their inability to save Kalina in time. They were the ones who were supposed to save Kalina, but they failed to activate the skill in time. However, they barely avoided the blame due to white-robed Alex's immediate action. So, they gratefully nodded their heads at Alex before going towards the battlefield. 

With the successful handoff, Alex swiftly shifted his attention back towards the ongoing battle. As anticipated, the other warriors commenced their coordinated actions to divert the attention of the rampaging monster.

Although they were weaker, their teamwork allowed them to keep at bay temporarily. 

However, a sense of urgency gripped Alex as he witnessed the imminent crisis unfolding before him. While Kalina possessed the ability to distract the monster single-handedly for approximately five minutes, it required four Tier-4 warriors to achieve the same effect. Taking strategic positions along each side of the monster, these warriors poked and prodded, drawing their attention away from the others. It was the only method available to safely divert the monster's focus.

Regrettably, the remaining Tier-4 warriors hesitated to unleash their spirit guardian possession state to confront the monster, aware of the necessity to prioritise their escape should the situation worsen.

Looking at the current situation, Alex predicted that the warriors would be exhausted. The monster can fight for another thirty minutes looking at the rate at which its body is being destroyed, while the warriors could barely fight for the next twenty minutes.

What would he do with the remaining ten minutes? Who can help him? Alex didn't know the answer to these questions. 

Like that,  twenty minutes went by. As predicted, the warriors one by one became exhausted enough that they couldn't fight. Some of them sensing the grim reality began to retreat. 

Only the warriors of the nine great tribes remained for now. The void fish tribe promptly helped the exhausted warriors escape from the monster's assault while risking their life by teleporting them out.

Quickly, Alex realised that he was the only one remaining standing on the battlefield. He had to rise to the occasion and do his part. 

'Monster vs me. A war of stamina. Let's see what you got!' Alex thought confidently. His newly created ability allowed him to shift some of his core to energy recovery mode while he was battling. So, he was confident about his stamina. 

'The hard outer skin has already peeled off. The raging energy inside its body is tearing the muscles apart. Within five minutes it will begin to lose the ability to maintain an energy output similar to a tier 5 warrior. And another minute would cripple the monster. I have to hold on till then. Just six minutes, just 360 seconds.' Thinking that, Alex teleported near the monster.

He had already observed and collected as much information as he can from the previous battles. With that, he could predict the general action of the monster. Just as he appeared near it, the monster sensed him and launched an assault. 

Alex teleported instantly behind it, just five hundred meters away. He was still within the aggro range while being safe enough to dodge the attacks. He was using twenty cores to power his physical strength, twenty cores to use teleport skill and the remaining fifty to recover mana. 

He could use teleport twenty times before needing more mana. And by the look of things, he might be forced to use teleport every two to three seconds by the monster. Which would easily overwhelm him if he cannot innovate his method of combat.
