My sword clashed against something invisible. Making my eyes wide.
It was powerful, but that didn't widen my eyes. No, what widened it was the frost spreading into a sword fast.
The bastard just used the two laws. One is the law of invisibility or its variation, and the second one is of the frost.
Dealing with a person of one law is difficult. Two makes it extremely dangerous.
No wonder the bastard was unworried. If I had two laws, I would have been as confident as it was.
I pushed those thoughts and poured my energy against the frost-covering my sword. I had to stop it before it reached me.
Thankfully, I am prepared for such a scenario.
It is not normal inheritance energy, but the energy I had specially crafted to deal with the law power.
This one is for the ice-related laws. I had energy for all the basic elemental laws. They are the laws people comprehend the most.
I had stopped it. Though not before, it had reached near the handle.
My sword offered some protection against the laws, and there was the aid of the energy, but it was still able to reach near my hand.
"Interesting. Not many people without laws were able to sense me, much less stop the attack," Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel{f}ire.net
"It seemed like. I had made a wise decision to target you," it said with its voice echoing throughout the hall.
I didn't attack the spots where the sound had originated. I know very well that it isn't there.
"It's not the wise decision, but the worst decision of your life. You corrupted bastard," I cursed and turned to the hole.
I need to get out of here. If I manage that, the chances of my survival will increase further.
I didn't even take a full step toward it. When I felt the hair on my arm rise again. I swiftly turned my sword in the direction of the attack.
My sword clashed against the invisible weapon of it.
Once more, that frost began to spread through my sword, but this time.
I am far better prepared.
My clones have studied the law of power and created the formation across the blade. Half of the runes used in the formation are ones I comprehended from my laws.
Laws of Sun and the Law of Swallowing.
These runes could project a massive power when infused with the power of laws, but even without it. They are capable of producing quite a power.
Thankfully, its laws aren't powerful, or at least, they didn't project their true power.
If its laws are at the level of comprehension as Carter and it used that much power. I wouldn't have been able to remain standing on my spot.
This time, the frost didn't even reach halfway into the blade before it had been stopped.
I waited for the attack, with my soul sense spreading into every nook and cranny to search for it, but I couldn't sense it.
I looked at the hole and the screen covering it.
Unlike from the outside, from which I couldn't see anything. From here, it provides a clear view of the cavern.
It saw me coming and was well prepared to deal with me.
If it had someone as powerful as Peak Prime with laws. It would have easily been able to clear the scene of its deed and hide.
I was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and entering inside was a big mistake.
It is a trap, and I have to get out of here.
So, after seven and a half seconds of waiting. I leaped toward the hole, but
immediately, the attack came, and this time, from the front.
I defended with my attack. Only to feel another one coming at me from behind.
CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG!
I defended against it, but another came, and then another.
I kept defending against it with more and more frost laws covering my sword. Getting closer and closer to the handle.
The formation is changing with more and more data. Getting into the tug of war against the Laws of Frost.
It is a dangerous law.
Every law is dangerous. How dangerous depends on one's power and comprehension of the enemy.
From the level of power it is using. Its comprehension is at the early stages of basic.
Greater than the last Prime I had killed but lesser than Carter, whose comprehension had reached the middle of the basics.
I didn't assume it was a comprehension of it. I kept assuming it was higher to prepare
Still, I wish I had been fighting only one law.
It would have increased my chances of surviving tremendously. Two laws make it
CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG!
A minute passed, and then another, and then another.
His attacks kept coming.
They are fast and unexpected, but I am defending against them. Because there is no other option, even if a single attack touched, it might spell the end for me.
A few more minutes passed, and the attacks kept coming.
The attacks were coming faster and harder than before, and in them, I could feel its frustration.
Despite having all the advantages, two laws. It wasn't able to land a single attack on me.
It is now the most dangerous time as it is when it will start using the abilities it had been hiding, and I am sure it is hiding a lot.
I feel that because it and I are the same. Other than man-eating and other parts.
We both have a secret that, if it came out, would spell the end for us without exception. So, we prepared cards.
The cards that would help us. Get away when we find ourselves in situations that will lead to doom.
"How are you sensing my attacks? Because I know it is not a soul sense," it asked.
Speaking after minutes of silence.
Its voice felt calm on the surface, but hidden beneath is a deep frustration.
It really wants to know.
