3163 Battle III



Puch!

My sword pierced into the chest of the Crockman, while it looked at me in horror before it disappeared.

Hun!

It had just disappeared when I felt the powerful attack from behind and moved to dodge it immediately.

Rip!

I was not fast enough, and the sword grazed my back. Giving me a gruesome injury. 

It is freezing. So much that I felt like it would freeze me to a popsicle, and it might have if it was not for my energies acting to contain the energies from the attack.

I turned back and moved my sword to defend myself from another attack.

CLANNG!

My sword clashed against the icy-blue sword of the Lizardman. The lizardman had icy blue scales and dark blue horns. I had fought Icy Lizardmen before, but this is not from that tribe.

I do not care about that as there are more important things to be worried about. One, it is the most powerful Grimm I had fought.

It is a Peak-Primary-III Grimm; a powerhouse that is stepped away from reaching the Sovereign stage. Not just its is powerful, but also has experience; its first attack is proof of that.

It is difficult to sneak an attack on me.

"I am feeling quite excited. It had been a long while since I had fought against the cold-blooded lizard," I said and immediately bubbling hot anger appeared in its icy cold eyes.

"You have a sharp tongue. I will see if it is sharp as now when I freeze you over," it said and attacked with an icy blade, with more power than before.

CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG

Our weapons clashed before they attacked again, and then another. Its sword moved fast, like a lightning, but held the power of the storm. If not defended well, I will get swept in it.

It is quite scary, the way it is using the momentum of each strike to power up its next strike.

If I did not know how to diffuse it, I would have been slain by it now.

It seemed to frustrate it, but it is not letting that frustration affect it. Instead of channeling it all toward me.

I did not make any other move than defend. I am going to wait till I get a boost before going on the offensive against it. As with my current power, defeating it is a very hard task.

Thankfully, the harvest had begun in a few minutes. I will have a strengthening energy; I need to defeat it.

We fought for a minute more before it suddenly stopped.

"You might not have much power, but you defend quite well," said Lizardman. "In front of a powerful Grimm like you. It is the only choice I have," I replied with a smile.

My reply widened its smile, and a grin appeared on its face.

"Well then. I hope you will be able to defend this." It said that ice must begin to come out of its body with its aura rising.

Everything around me becomes cold. It was so cold that those who were fighting near me had stepped away. I did not; the cold may be powerful, but I do not fear it. 

What I fear is its sword.

Soon, the mist had enveloped its sword completely, and aside from the hand, nothing could be seen.

"Now die!"

It said and took a step forward before they appeared in front of me and swung that icy blue sword.

As the sword came closer to me, I felt the temperature decreasing rapidly, till the air itself had frozen. It is so cold that, that anyone below the power of Primary-III would simply freeze in a second.

I did not waste even a second and moved my sword to defend myself. 

CLANNG!

The icy sword clashed against mine, and the icy energy enveloped it. Trying to freeze it and the energy covering it, before moving toward me; in a second, it had enveloped me.

As it happened, it attacked again, and I responded immediately.

The mist covering me tried to impede my movements, but I sliced through it. The powerful and more suitable to area effect than direct clash, which is more dangerous for me.

It is still not powerful enough to stop me.

It will have to go through my armor first, and doing that is not easy. 

CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG

It attacked furiously like a storm; using denser and denser ice-cold energy, till it became like mist. Wanting to freeze me, but it will not. This fighting strategy will work on everyone, but not me.

I am good at fighting, but there is another reason I survived it for a long and that is perception.

It is people's perception. It is what they see and what did not. People do not understand that physical attacks work is my weakness, while energy is nearly useless as it did not overwhelm me.

They do not notice it. It would be wise to say I did not let them notice; acting such, that even the most intelligent wouldn't notice it.

Power is important, but it is not enough to keep one alive in this cruel world. One also needs to be smart and adaptive. Only through this, one could survive for a long.

Hun!

It was attacking me when suddenly thick icy mist moved and stuck on the sword. Forming a thick layer of ice over the sword.

Its aura had also increased. It had tried to hide it, but I had noticed, and it couldn't make me worried.

I swung my sword, and this time, used every bit of strength I have. I would need to use it all, otherwise, I would pay an enormous price.

Who thought the bastard who attack like a storm could also be silent as a whisper.

CLANNNG!

Its sword came down on mine, and I shook, before started taking the step, while vomiting the blood. Which froze away the moment it had come out of my mouth.

"So this is your limit," it said with a grin and came at me with an even more powerful attack.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

I could barely move my sword to defend against the attack. I did it, but another came while I took the steps back and vomit, one mouthful of blood after another.

It is increasing the power of its attacks too fast for me to get used to it. If it continued to do that, then won't be long before something dangerous would happen.

Rip!

A few seconds later; it did. It had avoided my sword expertly with speed and power and cut me on my stomach, just above my navel.

I had moved to dodge it, but I couldn't. 

More than an inch-long blade of it still cut through me and sent an immense amount of powerful cold energies to freeze me like a popsicle.

I moved my energy while a couple of formations activated inside my core. Sending the energies, which filled the formation and sealed the cold energies in the wound.

CLANNNG RIP 

The next attack came too quickly; I had defended it, but it attacked again and giving me a cut across my chest that nearly touched my bone.
