Over a minute had passed since we started fighting. I am suppressed while it is pressing on me and forcing me to be completely defensive.
"You should give up, or it will be a painful death for you," it said.
"You are not powerful enough to defeat me, little snake," I replied, defending its attacks.
It is good, but I could kill it instantly. It was never a threat from the beginning. It's the one that is watching the battle secretly, and that is the reason why I am playing this whole charade.
The battle against it is giving me time to deal with the disadvantages of energy.
I have made some progress, which seemed shocking, seeing that I have been in this realm for a few minutes, but I have had information since this afternoon.
So, my clones are working on it for hours—days when counting the time dilation.
The minutes here provided them with the practical data they had stated, which they applied to the sets they had prepared.
I have an extensive collection of data about the realms, along with the knowledge I have from the library. It provides me with quite a big advantage.
Still, I wish I had made greater progress. The Grimm watching the battle sneakily is very powerful. I would be hard-pressed to defeat it without preparations.
Two more minutes passed as the battle continued. The Grimm kept watching without moving.
I was thinking that when I felt the sneaky soul sense contacting it. It changed expression and made the Viperman grit its teeth for a moment.
That very second, the Viperman exploded with its full power.
"It's time for you to die, little human," it roared and attacked me with its full power. The aura burst out of me, and I moved to respond to its attack.
Our swords clashed, and it sent me back with blood coming out of my mouth. It didn't give me a moment, and attacked again and then again.
I barely defended despite vomiting at every attack and bones breaking.
Its attacks became more and more desperate. It started to use every ounce of its strength, but I would defend, always despite it seemed like I couldn't.
This is tedious, but I need every second I can from the bastard watching me sneakily.
It was going for another attack. When I sensed its attack exactly a minute later, I sensed communication between them.
It had likely ordered the Viperman to finish me off in a minute. Since it couldn't, it attacked.
It's a long-range attack. I couldn't defend a massive lance of power with the power I was projecting. Well, since it attacked, its time I reveal my strength.
I was shooting back like a broken doll, when I stopped and took a step forward.
My sword pierced into its heart, and it disappeared while I swung my sword again toward the massive brown lance.
My tiny sword ripped through the massive lance, with its two parts moving at great power behind, but I didn't even glance at them.
I am looking at the Werewolf appearing in front of me.
It is barely eight meters tall but has massive silver claws, like werewolves have. It is wearing silver and black armor, which looks quite great.
It's a High-Prime and powerful at that, but it is not that made me fear it, but something else, I am sensing from it, that I didn't sense from any Grimm.
If it is what I am sensing it to be. Then, this battle might become very difficult for me.
"When did you sense me?" it asked. "The same time you did," I replied. A surprise flashed in its eyes before it had disappeared as it came.
"Then why play around?" it asked. "I wanted to get used to this realm and its peculiar energy. As you know, it's quite disadvantageous to us," I replied that it grinned, but there is anger in it.
"Well, you have made a mistake in killing, Otre. You will pay a painful price for it," it said and came at me with its aura and claws blazing in power.
Burst 10%. The source of thɪs content is noveⅼfire.net
I activated the burst and harnessed it as I moved my sword in a way I hadn't done in a while.
There is a peculiar way to fight the Werewolf's claws. I had developed the most efficient style while fighting the hundreds of life-and-death battles against them.
My sword clashed against its claws, and it shook. Seeing that, I moved forward with even greater power and attacked.
It responded immediately and attacked again. I defended against it attacked. It increased its strength, and I took the burst to 15%.
When our weapons clashed, it shook it from top to bottom.
There was no anger in its eyes. Just calculating calmness. I hate these types of Grimms the most; they are harder to deal with.
Still, in my experience. No matter how calm they are, they will revert to their nature if you rile them enough.
I want to do nothing more than increase my power and suppress it till it has no choice, but to give you that power, I am sensing from it, but I didn't not.
I need to make this battle as long as possible to find ways to deal with energy absorption.
I have already made progress, bringing it to the 32%. I want to bring it down further, but it's getting harder. I am not going to stop due to it; I will keep trying.
A few seconds passed and it increased his strength further. Making me take the burst to 25% and continue pressing it.
It remained calm as the battle continued, with him increasing his strength. Until it begins to use 90% of its strength, and even then, it didn't stop shaking under my attack.
It didn't make me happy. It made me even more careful as I felt the moment was close.
I attacked once more, and it was when I felt that power rising out of it. I felt scared me, but it also made me excited as I am going to experience it finally.
