I swung my sword, releasing red arcs of energy.
They appear small compared to the ball of bloody mist that covers a large area, but each of these arcs contains a massive amount of concentrated energy.
This is the move designed to deal with these kinds of strange attacks.
The first arc reached the ball of bloody mist and was swallowed by it. There was nothing after that; a single is enough to vaporise a Pri, but nothing had happened.
More arcs went toward it, but like the first, they got swallowed one after another.
It gave a bad feeling, and a green stone spear appeared in my hand. As I poured energy into it, the ancient runes on it lit up magnificently, with a powerful aura radiating out of it.
This weapon is made of amazing power; the green stone is a pure energy absorption stone.
Inside it, I had infused really powerful energies. Even I would be hard. If I had faced it head-on with the incinerating energies it releases after the activation.
I sent it toward the large ball, which is now barely ten ters away from .
It reached in an instant and swallowed it inside. I felt the bloody ball light for a fraction of a second, a mont later, and then nothing.
I didn’t even sense the massive power of it. It should have worked; incinerate it whole.
’I hate arts!’ I cursed in my heart as it appeared in front of . "It was a powerful attempt, but I had prepared for it!" ca the voice through the fog.
"This is my most powerful move. There is nothing you could do to stop from consuming you!" it boasted as I tensed alchemical bombs inside it.
I saw the faint flashes and then nothing, before the bloody ball of mist enveloped .
The mont, it did. I felt the true fear.
He had shed the body. The whole fog is its body, with a head-sized jagged bloody crystal in front of , being the core.
I knew the art could do things that are beyond common sense, but seeing it happen is completely different, especially when my life is on the line.
"Do you think you could?" I asked. "Oh, I could," it replied, sounding very confident.
"I had been preparing for this for years. I had refined the blood of thousands of monsters to power this. I was planning to consu an elental body, but my art is telling that you will be even better, and it has never been wrong." I shuddered hearing that.
I opened my mouth to speak, to stall it further before the strengthening essence ca, when it ca at .
’Fuck!’
Imdiately, I felt ten tis greater pressure than I had felt in the sphere, with thousands of thin tentacles wanting to co inside .
If I had not used 75% of my strings on armor, I would have been a dead man.
These strings contain an imnse power, coming from that jagged, bloody crystal. They are very powerful and hell bend on entering inside .
The runes lit up in resistance, including the formation that I had designed even before I had co to this world, and upgraded in every upgrade.
It’s not the first person who had wanted to consu , and I had survived so far with help, but the help might not always save .
So, I designed the formation that could help against it, and it is doing much better than I had thought.
"You are not simple, alright!"
"This power would have been enough to breach anyone’s defences other than the top three, but here you are stopping them," it said, and the next mont, the power doubled, then tripled before quadrupling.
’Shit!’ I cursed as it took my defences to the limit.
A few seconds ago, when he was hiding. I had sensed him to be powerful, but not this powerful.
This is a lot more powerful.
This bastard had prepared for this for centuries. I could sense a colossal amount of power that the crystal possesses, and this is not its full potential.
My armor is very good, but it has reached the limit, and any further and it won’t be able to defend .
"Your defence is sothing. Even the three would have a problem in crushing it," it said, and I could feel the shock in its voice.
Though that didn’t stop it from increasing the power in the next seconds.
Crack Crack Crack...
The cracks began to ring out the next mont. I have less than ten seconds before my defences are crushed, and it moves its tentacle to eat piece by piece.
I don’t want that.
Not only because I don’t want to die, but also because I don’t want it to consu my body.
I know what my body is. If it consus , he will beco a terror. He is already powerful with his art, with forbidden power, he will be unstoppable.
But I am not seeing any way I could defend against it.
My strongest are around its core. Its soul power had beco very weak with this strange transformation, so that I didn’t need more than a second to wrap my strings about.
That was the easiest part; the hardest one was that I could not destroy it.
I could feel its strength, and it is extrely powerful. It’s for this sa reason that I could not pull it into my core, but that is the only choice I have.
I saw no other option but to use the one that would kill us both.
"Your defence is crumbling, and soon, my branches will tear through it and you will be mine to consu," he declared.
I opened my mouth to reply, but I stopped as an idea ca to my mind. It’s not sothing I want to do, as I will lose a very precious thing, but nothing is precious than my life.
I only thought about it for a fraction of a second before I brought it out. To do the sa thing to it that it wants to do with .
