The staff struck the water sphere, transferring the massive force into it.
This force travelled into the sphere and came at me from all sides. Yes, from all side and equal.
It hit my body and I stumbled a little before stabilising myself, before looking at it with confused eyes.
"Is this some big move?" I asked, mocking it. If it knew the way my abilities work, it wouldn’t have dared to attack me with such a move.
If someone wants to deal with me. They should attack me at a single point. It’s the only way to breach through my defences.
Attacking me from all sides with the same force at the same time is an utter foolishness because my armor is too good at dealing with such things.
It didn’t reply. Instead, it glared at me and started to hit the water sphere with its staff over and over at a really fast speed. Sending the crushing waves of force at me every moment.
Last time, I stumbled, but this time I only shook, and after that, I stayed in my place without much shaking.
I just used its own force to counter the force it is attacking me with. Due to it, I am not feeling even the slightest pressure at all.
Instead, I focused on someone who was sneakily looking at the battle.
I have to say, its stealth method is really good. I was already impressed before, but there is a marked improvement in its finesse and power.
It made me serious because with the power I am sending from it, he would be more troublesome to deal with than the host in front of it.
I pushed that thought and turned to the man in front of me. I am speaking like I had dealt with it, but far from it.
I don’t know if I would be able to deal with it all once it uses its full power.
I kept watching it while enjoying the power that is coursing through me. The runes had harvested the itornas and sent the strengthening and growth energies toward me.
The combination of two is not even half of the one I had fought in the forest, but it’s still its itornas and they give more energy than Grimm.
So, it is still giving me the increase. Googlᴇ search novel_fіre.net
A minute passed and then another. I remained unmoving when it finally stopped. "Itornas inside you is really dumb. Despite seeing it not working, it let you keep attacking me," I mocked.
"Maybe it is because its control over you is slipping. I heard it happens." I insulted once more.
It hits the point, because its eyes blazed in rage.
"Bastard!" it cursed, and the next moment. I saw it inflating like a balloon. Getting bigger, with armor of the push forming around it and even covering its staff.
Several seconds later, the fusion mode is finished, and I have to say. Its big and ugly.
Its over five meters tall now and has become even more buff, but it’s ugly with a long pink third eye appearing on its face.
I looked at it. Not in its eyes, but third eyes; the master, that is controlling it all.
"Do you think this will help?" I asked with a smile. "Yes," it replied with a hallowed voice. I know it is from Itornas, despite being spoken through the mouth of the host.
It sent a shudder down my body while it had brought down the staff at me.
The staff that is covered in a thick energy and pus. It is an extremely powerful attack and I would be a fool if I had dared to underestimate it.
I didn’t hesitate and used my full power to reinforce my armor with everything I have.
The staff struck the sphere, and immediately, all the energy of the attack, the one covering the staff and the pus, all of it came toward me.
The energy moved like before through the spear, but much faster and more powerful. I am not looking at them.
I am looking at thoughts of tiny invisible thorns that pus had turned into and now coming at me, hiding through that energy.
Its disguise is powerful enough to fool the defences of the armor. Once thorns entered inside, one can forget about surviving.
The force hit me, and immediately, I felt like I had been crushed like a mountain from all sides.
The energy struck me with crushing force, while invisible thorns tried to force inside my armor. It is such power that it immediately took my defences to the limit.
To make matters worse, I opened my armor and let the thorns come in.
I didn’t have a choice. If I didn’t, it would break through my armor, and the consequences would be even worse.
As the thorns entered, thousands of little formations moved, capturing them. They are so powerful that they are trying to break it, like my body trying to do in this sphere as it is hit by the force from all sides.
Cracks appeared across my bones and blood leaked out of my mouth and other orifices.
I wasn’t joking when I said this attack was very powerful.
BAMMMM BAMMMM BAMMMM!
I was dealing with the attack when it attacked once more and more and more.
Tide after tides came at me, while my clones and I raced against time to adapt my armor against it, but I felt like I was walking on the edge of the blade.
One mistake and I am dead.
I am already walking on a blade; the blade that is cutting through my feet as I walk on it. Every attack is cracking up my bones more and injuring my internals further.
Even my skin began to split and bleed.
The only saving grace is that my clones are holding the energies and pus back from entering my body, but that is a hard battle.
Looking at the conditions. I felt like it could happen at any time, but I will not give up.
I will keep fighting.
"Now, what do you think?" it asked with a grin. "I am standing, aren’t I?" I asked back with the same grin.
BAMMMM BAMMMM BAMMMM!
"Not for very long," it said, and began attacking again, but this time, the things are faintly better.
The break of a few moments gave me a chance to change. That began to make things slowly better. It didn’t notice it first, but soon it started to.
A frown appeared on its face, but it didn’t stop attacking. Instead, it attacked more intensely.
A minute later, its expressions turned worse, and another minute later. It looked at me for a few seconds, before touching the sphere with the staff, making it disappear.
"I will crush you with my staff directly!" it declared and came at me without wasting any time.
It wants to finish me off soon. So, it could deal with others, but I won’t let that happen. It will suffer the same fate as other itornas that moved to attack me.
It flashed in front of me and swung its pus-covered staff at me with all its strength.
When suddenly something happened. The blurring staff begins to slow down fast. Till it reduced to half of its speed, and it is slowing down even further.
It shocked it, and it was dealing with that when it saw me moving, avoiding its staff and appearing in front of it with my blade moving toward its face.
