Han Sen felt as if the Phoenix Sword had come down on rubber . It was a deep strike, but the sword eventually gave in to the cushion and bounced backwards . And with the force Han Sen had put into that strike, it made him fall back more than a few steps .
Han Sen pulled out Taia this time and tried to deliver a number of smaller strikes instead . He unleashed a flurry of manic hits, not willing to give the ball a single moment of reprieve .
When the ball first rolled down the hill, it had done so soaked in blood . Now, the blood was all gone . Han Sen noticed the ball had absorbed the blood .
With Double Fly, Han Sen laid into the ball . He didn't want to invoke its ire and then let it go free, so he had to put his back into it and do his best to end the ball's life now .
But despite exhausting all his strength, Han Sen was unable to damage the white ball . His swords and strikes continued to bounce back, having left no damage on the ball's rubber-like skin .
With his nine gene locks open, Phoenix Sword and Taia akimbo, Han Sen did all he could . Under the force of such power, most super creatures would have been laid to waste already . Han Sen couldn't fathom what sort of creature he was now faced with . Its skin made for the best defense possible .
Han Sen decided to put his swords away and watch while the ball tried to scramble away from Bao'er's Dyson-gourd .
When he looked at Bao'er, she actually appeared to be sweating . It seemed as if using the gourd cost her energy, and using it for a long time was taxing . But Bao'er did not want to let the ball go free . She insisted on capturing it, and she seemed determined not to let it get away .
Since there was no one else around, Han Sen summoned a coin and let the numbers on it tick upwards .
"Let's see how well you resist such lavish expenditure," Han Sen mocked . Bao'er's hands were trembling by this point, and when the coin count reached nine, Han Sen released the power and fired the coin at the white ball .
A Saving Money coin, with the power of nine, hit the white ball with the weight of mountains . It seemed to be quite effective, too, because it flattened the white ball like a deflating balloon .
Bao'er pulled the gourd away and immediately went to sit down, gasping .
The ball had been crushed in place . It could not move, it had been crippled, but it had been able to resist the weight and not get blown up . After a short while, though, it returned to normal .
Han Sen was shocked, to say the least . The coin had reached nine, and he was certain it'd be enough to do something more than temporarily restrain the spherical fiend .
But with the coin still firmly in place on the ball's surface, it remained unharmed .
The ball did roll much slower now, though, so there was that . If it was once a cruising supercar, it was now grandad's rusty lawnmower .
Han Sen felt relieved that the coin was able to do something, at least . It didn't kill or grievously damage the ball, but it was enough to practically cripple it .
"Saving Money still has its uses, I suppose . " Han Sen snapped his fingers and summoned a coinfall on top of the ball, then .
A short while later, the entire ball had been given a new coat . It was like a golden orb now, without an inch of its body free from the oppressive weight of a coin .
Bao'er saw the ball in place, stuck . Then, she ran up to it and kicked it .
The ball was completely unable to move now . It was still as tough as ever, though, and there was no sign it was going to buckle under the weight and allow itself to be crushed .
The nature of the ball still perplexed Han Sen . If it was a super creature, and it had just endured so much painful treatment, it should have at least tried to fight back . Strangely, the ball was as docile as ever, but Han Sen wasn't quite willing to believe it was just an object, either .
Han Sen approached the ball and examined it with greater curiosity . It was an enigma he really wanted to figure out .
Bao'er leaped onto the white ball and continued to kick it for the runaround she had endured earlier . But eventually, the ball became bouncy again .
Bao'er summoned the mini gourd once more and attempted to absorb it . But right after she took aim, and before she could fire, the ball seemed to quiver and shake as if it was afraid .
Han Sen still had no clue what the thing was, and if there was a chance it could turn sour and attack, he had no qualms with letting Bao'er suck it into her gourd .
Suddenly, though, before more could be revealed, the sound of a katcha was heard . It was the ball, and it was starting to crack .
Han Sen knew it wasn't because of the coins, though . The "crack" was a straight line through the middle, all around it .
The crack also originated from the bottom, and Han Sen couldn't quite see what was emerging just yet . But regardless of what it was, he at least now understood that the ball was hollow .
Something was inside it and looking to get out . The once tormenting, violent father and daughter had become as scared as kitty cats . Bao'er leaped into Han Sen's arms, wondering what would happen next with an equal mix of fear and curiosity .
Han Sen was alert . If this had been a super creature egg this entire time, something most fearsome must reside within . Both of them stared at the crack, and soon after, something emerged .
When that thing came out, their eyes grew wider .
When it wholly emerged, it looked at Han Sen and Bao'er and roared at them fiercely .
