My blade reached its face, in front of the large eye of Itornas.
The greatest mistake it had ever made was to use the water sphere. If it had used the direct attack, I might still have been fighting it.
The sphere had kept both of us in the sa place. It was also less alert about , thinking in the sphere, I couldn’t do anything to him.
It had made things much easier.
If we had fought with our blades, I would not only have had to keep thinking about my survival, but I would also have been more alert.
Things were not that easy in the sphere. My defences had reached the limit, but I had an easier ti than I would have fighting blade to blade.
By the ti it realized the sphere was not doing anything and deactivated it, it had already fallen into my trap.
This ti, the trap is much better with a more powerful formation. I had learned a lot fighting the host in the forest and applied it here.
My blade was just a few inches away from its face when the Itornas moved.
It does not care about the host. It’s nothing more than a puppet to it. What matters most to it is its life.
Hun!
It ca out of the head, but not the back as I had expected, but from the front, and it is coming at .
Its intention is clear with its eyes; it wants to beco its new host. It is coming at with blurring speed, and I can’t let it touch .
Once it does, it will be very hard.
I didn’t expect it would do sothing like this, given all three itornas tried to escape through the back, but I had prepared for it.
It was just an inch away from my head when suddenly it ca to a halt.
"Do you think it’s that easy?" I asked and pushed the formation to its full power to pull it into my core. It will be bad if it starts self-destructing before that.
There was resistance, hard enough that I wouldn’t be able to pull into my core forcefully without a lot of struggle. I don’t have ti for that when the man is hiding and moving sneakily.
Buzz!
So, the formation I had prepared especially for this was activated. Stunning the itornas for a fraction of a second, with energy thick with forbidden power.
It’s very powerful; nothing else would work on it.
It had recognised what it was, the way its eyes went wide in recognition, and I could feel extre joy even in such a condition, but the next mont, a shock appeared, and it disappeared.
Seeing that, I finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Now, it could do nothing, even the self-destruction would be useless.
Seeing that, I turned and looked at the invisible man who was coming toward slowly. A few seconds more and he would have co dangerously close to .
"You can stop hiding. Pri Haklin," I said, and a mont there was a silence, before the handso blond, horned man with thin blood lines around it revealed himself.
Pri Haklin, the man with the blood-art, I had rescued the Pri Wolfden from.
"It seed like my stealth was not as good as I expected," he replied with a smile. "It’s much better than the last ti," I replied, and it’s the truth.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, by the way," I added to the surprise of the man.
Yes, he made a breakthrough. It’s near impossible; I am saying near because a few people could manage. It’s extrely hard, but the arts are powerful.
"It was a massive risk, but worth it," he replied, and I smiled.
"It’s good, your strength has increased, but you should have realised by now. That, even with it, you could not kill . Instead, you should be worried about your life," I said, and the man grinned.
It made shudder deep within my heart.
There was a fear in its eyes. Instead, the madness that is willing to go to any height to achieve the things he wants.
"I know, it’s why I have a plan," he replied.
"What plan?" I asked. "To consu you, of course. Watching you fight, I had beco even more sure that you’re sothing that will take to the greatest heights," it replied, its eyes shining madly.
I opened my mouth, but saw the bloody runes had started to appear on its body.
Seeing that, I didn’t waste any ti and ran away. Yes, I am powerful than him, but I have a feeling that attacking him directly isn’t a wise choice, running away is.
So, that’s what I did.
I ran at my fastest speed, wanting to get to the village as quickly as possible, but I was still far away. Enough, even the soul senses of the top three didn’t reach , where I am.
"You cannot run away from this, Pri Arys," he replied from the back, with his voice turning strange.
I turned back and saw the dense, bloody mist begin to envelope it. I could feel the dense power of the arti from it, and it didn’t give a good feeling.
Its why I had pushed myself faster. I have to get away from this madman.
Seconds passed, and then another, I ran with everything I had, when suddenly, all the hair on my body stood up.
I looked back and I saw the dense ball of bloody mist coming toward and coming toward fast. It is faster than I, so it wouldn’t take long for it to reach.
I wanted to burn my essence, but stopped. The bastard’s art is blood art, and so is its law.
It might help him if I had burned my blood.
So, I did the hardest thing. I stopped running and faced it. I will stop it with my power. I didn’t have to hold back for long, just enough that the power from the Itornas’ essence ca.
It will make stronger and give a better chance of surviving against it.
