The weapons clashed, creating another shockwave that further turned the ground into dust.
I could see all the mirth in its eyes vanishing. Till now, it had not fully accepted that my strength had increased, but now it had.
"How did you level up, if you don’t mind me asking?" he asked. "I didn’t, I was just able to open another seal, that unlocked more of my power," I replied.
There was no surprise in its eyes. He had believed it; in this place, it’s more believable than levelling up.
It’s very hard, not impossible, as people have done that. Most cultists, but even for them, it’s a very hard thing to achieve, and only a few across the millennia have been able to do that.
"Good. It means you will be a powerful host," it said with a grin, and I saw some pus flowing down his saber, before it swung it toward me.
Unhesitantly, I increased the power of the burst and responded with my own attack.
The weapons clashed with such force that I shook a little, but it was nothing in front of the energy.
It was thick as honey and powerful, like a raging storm. As it entered my armor and into the formations. It raged, wanting to tear them apart.
But my formations aren’t some weak things. They have derived from cold, hard data.
Not only from my battle against it, but also against the night panther it had fought. I know its energy and tested my formations against it.
"It’s good, but you will have to do a lot better if you want to turn me into the host," I replied and attacked.
It responded immediately with an even stronger attack and more pus flowing into the sword. Transforming into the powerful dense energy. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net
CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG!
Our weapons clashed, producing a powerful shockwave, before we pulled back and attacked again and again.
The blades clashed faster than we blinked. They clashed for a short time, but didn’t stop, and started to clash even faster and harder.
I am harnessing all the power of the burst with my eyes focused on him.
It is a serious battle that could have disastrous consequences, but my heart couldn’t help but beat wildly as I clash with it again and again.
It is not only powerful, but also a very talented fighter. It always had been, and after becoming a host, it had become even better.
Such enemies are very dangerous. Especially the one that will need only a single attack to finish me off.
This thick energy made of pus is not only powerful but also deadly. It’s highly infectious, and I cannot let it touch me at any cost.
Minutes passed, and we clashed with it, attacking me with different types of attacks.
I remained mostly on the defensive, rarely attacking. I don’t need to attack, at least not now. I will move on the offensive when it reaches its strongest.
Only at that moment will I have a chance against it, but it’s not without its risks.
I defended against another attack and turned to it with a smile. "I thought you would be more challenging, Prime Lemeryn, but it seemed I had overestimated you," I taunted.
He smiled at that, but I could see the sparks of anger in his eyes.
"You want to see my power? I will show it to you!" it said, and the next moment, his whole body seemed to buzz with power.
I brought the burst to 90%. It is not something I will be able to deal with at 80%. This is a strength; he had fought that bird and the night panther with.
"Now, regret taunting me," it said and swung its saber, filled with thick energies, not only pus, but also the law.
I could feel the rust so strongly that I felt like I was metal and it was rusting me.
I responded immediately, pushing the power of the burst and the combination of the thick energies that I had crafted to counter this energy.
The weapons clashed, and a shock appeared in its eyes, while I grinned.
It thought, with this power, it would be able to deal with me, but far from it. Given what I faced in the violet zone, I doubted my strength.
I am not weak, nor have I received the small upgrade. I had been cautious in the violet zone.
That was the right decision, because if that snake had come out of the violet zone while I was making a noise. It would have ended me.
It glared at me and attacked again, flashing behind me.
CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!
I swiftly turned and defended against the attack, but it attacked again, coming to my left and again appearing in front of me.
It kept attacking me while my sword moved to deal with its every attack.
It’s powerful, alright, but I could deal with this. It surprised even me; I thought I would get pushed back, but my preparations are working.
Though I didn’t let it get over my head, I know it’s not its full power. I want it to bring it to its strongest, because without it. I won’t be able to kill it.
Yes, I want to kill it. This is an abomination; it should be wiped out from the face of the earth.
More than that, I have to kill the bastard for what it did last time. It would have killed me if my plan hadn’t worked.
"I had my doubts since the battle began, but now I am sure," I said as I defended the attack.
"What?" it asked angrily.
"Your master had changed. A weaker itornas had replaced it. It’s the reason I could think of for your weakness," I replied, hitting it with the greatest insult anyone could give to the host.
The change of masters is considered a great insult to the hosts. Especially when the itornas, which have been replaced, are weaker.
It hadn’t happened; I could still feel the same signature from itornas from last time, but the insult still hit it.
"You bastard, I will kill you!’ it roared angrily and attacked. "With the puny strength you have, I doubt it," I replied mockingly, making it even angrier.
