"What the hell?!" Sei shouted as she did not care anymore and she used her chi to float herself and dashed towards Keyrin who was moving towards her too. This time Bam and Boo had turned into the horns of Keyrin and like a dual blade movement, Keyrin supercharged himself to give the best lighting slam he could ever give.
The water for some reason was able to reflect the lightning to some extent but Jin could see that Sei was taking damage from the attack as well. "Two can play that game!" Sei shouted and Jin realised floating spheres of water spiralled towards Jin without any warning as well.
At that point, Keyrin released a bout of electricity around him, causing the water spheres to partially lose their strength as they hit Jin. However, Jin had no idea that even when the spheres had their strength lessened, they were still able to not just break the living metal armour but also pierce into his body.

"I will handle the pain and damage. You do not care about the body. All you have to do is to throw out as much magic and power you can towards her!" Jin exclaimed as he attempted to fix the holes within his body with Maqi as well as the healing factor that he had.
Thus, for the entirety of the fight, Jin was handling the physical and mental stress the body was suffering so that his monsters that possessed his body could fully concentrate on fighting. To the minions who were sharing the same physical space as him, temporarily felt invincible mainly because they were not able to feel any pain and had an outlet to throw all the magic and powers out.
Of course, they have a duty to keep the body they were residing in some form of defence but Jin had repeatedly told them not to give a shit about his body and give their best. This meant the strain that Jin felt was all for him to bear. Whatever disintegration of his body because of the monster's full on attack was also something given for Jin to handle.
To him, Jin had previously gone through worse punishment and torture and knew that the pain was temporary. It might felt long and aching but as long as he was able to hold this body and let the monsters do their job, they could win this fight.
Keyrin while a little worried about his master, had decided to obey his master. Mainly because the opponent in front of him was undoubtedly several if not many levels above him. No matter how he saw it, he had to understand that this particular fight was meant to be prolonged and injure Sei in the meantime.
Whoever can last the longest will be the winner.
And so, Keyrin gave his best. He used Bam and Boo as a conduit and sent off the strongest bolt of electricity he could make before rushing in once more, charging Bam and Boo with all his magic and slamming it onto the Sei's War Umbrella who now had been imbued with even more water chi, causing a strike against Jin.

Jin said as Keyrin threw Bam and Boo towards Sei for her to deflect while Jin moved in to change into the Zither Mistress Ke Mi.
"Master, you are injured." Ki Mi said as Bam and Boo returned to the System Rider, transforming itself into a Zither for Ke Mi to play.
"It's okay, don't worry. Just focus on the enemy." Jin said but Ke Mi did not listen to him and played a short verse from a song that would boost the healing regeneration only Jin. But the moment the verse was over, she slammed the strings on her zither, changing it into something more aggressive and waves of sound chi slashed through the water barrier that Sei had, damaging her shoulder.
"Tsk! This form changing thing is extremely irritating. Sei said as she believed that this form was a caster and decided to not play the same game as her. She dived from the ceiling and towards Ke Mi at the same time, she produced a giant spiral water drill.
Yet, Ke Mi could not forgive this person who had injured her master. The very same person who gave her a new home, a new family and a chance to start anew. Her aggressiveness in the song did not falter and instead of slashes, she imitated the very same size of a drill by using the vibrations of the air molecules around her.
In that instant it was formed, it flew to interact with the water drill before it could do anything harm to her and Jin, and even though the Cultivator was not physically seeing the destruction happening on top of him since Ke Mi was concentrating on playing the tune, he could sense the air drill practically ripped the water drill apart causing the technique to be useless.
However, the Sei did not stop there as she still proceeded ahead despite some minor cuts and wounds on her face and hand from the air attacks. Yet, she did not expect System Rider Zither Mistress to be strong. Her War Umbrella was stuck in midair by an invisible force as if there was a wall in front of her.
Ke Mi swung her hand after playing a high pitch note which forced Sei to be knocked backwards, hitting onto the wall of ice spikes that Shiva had made previously. It was pretty obvious that this was the first time Sei had been pushed away from the attack and this increased the confidence Jin had to win this battle of attrition.
