  Clang! Puh Puh……

  Another of my attacks hit squarely on his shield and this time also he puked blood while taking a step back.

  I have attacked him a total of nine times, on every attack he would put on his for defense and always puke blood while taking a step back but after every attack, he would lift his shield in defense.

  I was just thinking whether to continue attacking him or attack some Grimm monster see how they more of them in the area when I felt another sneak attack coming at me and this attack is very powerful.

  Bang! sup!

  I activated the mini blast without hesitation and dodged the attack barely, I could still feel a very sharp wind blade that passed by my ears. The one attacked me must be very powerful, otherwise, I wouldn’t have so little time to dodge.

  With me comprehending the killing rule it is very hard for others to sneak attack on me, as I will either sense killing intent or I will sense the attack coming since my senses are stronger than the usual.

  So, the one could get so close to me their attack has to be very powerful. When I looked at who attacked me, I found it was a special Grimm monster, a crowman to be exact.

  It looked very surprised seeing me dodging but that was for a moment before it came at me with blurring speed and attacked me with its sword.

  I had already started spinning the swirls on my Swirling Armor fast as I could when I survived its sneak attack as I know it is a very powerful opponent and now that I am sensing its battle power, I have become even surer.

  This crowman is very powerful and even if I would have known that even if I had not been able to sense it battle power, the score above its head would have been enough.

  Bang!

  Bang!

  Seeing it coming toward me, I did not back down either, I had activated the mini blast and sped toward it and when I got close enough, I activated another mini blast on my sword hand for an extra boost.

  It looked surprised when I increased the power of my attacks through the mini blast but it did not back away instead it increased the power of its attack.

  CLANG!

  A deafening clang rang out, it was so loud that it had made deaf for a moment and with the clash came immense force, the force was much more intense than I had expected and unlike before this time, a very tiny part of it was able to enter my body.

  Though the force was very tiny that I would have been able to bear when I had the strength of the One Star Elite, this force had made me surprised and I am surprised not because it was able to breach me but because the force was too little.

  The attack just now was very strong that it could make the one with the power SiX Star Elite heavily injured but my Armor able bear it.

  It looked shocked but soon that shock turned into cruel anger and it attacked me again and this time, its attack is even more powerful than before.

  Seeing a very powerful attack coming, I started to spin the swirls as fast as I could as I will need as much as power I could to clash against the coming attack.

  CLANG!

  Another loud clang rang out and like last time the force was able to travel inside me, it’s just that its amount was little greater than last time but it was not threatening as the swirls crushed apart most of the force before it could reach me.

  The faster swirls not only give me high attack power but their defensive power is also increased when they spun faster.

  "You are very good but I will still take your points!" Said the crowman in a very squeaky voice, this must be the first time anyone spoke in the Arena as here everyone was busy killing each other to get the points.

  To his provocation, I just smiled and started to use all my soul power to spin the swirls faster and faster as I am going to need it now.

  CLANG CLANG CLANG……

  We attacked each other at the same time and this time there was no stopping even for a moment, it is very clear that each of us wants to defeat the other and will not stop till we do that.

  I kept activating one mini blast after another to match up to its attack, with the incomplete Swirling Armor it would have been impossible to do that but with the new swirling Armor is very possible.

  The only constant activation of mini blast took is mana, it takes a shit load of mana. It’s a good thing I have a Lieutenant stage monster core in my stomach which is giving me all the mana I am needed.

  CLANG CLANG CLANG……

  Our weapons kept clashing and every clash would produce more defeating sound than before with more force seeping inside my body, the force that is seeping inside me can’t be blocked by my body alone and I am using the defenses of my rule power.

  It would have been good if I was able to borrow Ashlynn’s power but regretfully I can not, the palace has a very powerful restriction that is barring Ashlyn for using her powers aiding me.

  Except for not being able to come out of me and use her power to help, she is able to do anything which is literally nothing and she is very angry about, the main reason for her anger is hunger.

  It had been more than one day and she hadn’t eaten anything, not only she but I had also not eaten anything but our reason for that is different, her is she can not get out of me and mine is I didn’t have much time.

  Earlier, I was too busy in the practice that I can completely forget and only remembered when I was taking a step inside the gate but by that time, I had already become too late.

  I am quite enjoying my fight, as with such intense fighting I get to use all my power which is really helping me control all my strength, if we continued to fight a little longer, I will gain complete control over it.

  While I am happy, the crowman opposite of me is fuming with anger, it had probably thought it would be able to beat me after some time but except for getting the slight upper hand in the battle, it is not able to do anything to me.

  As we kept fighting no one dared to sneak attack on us for some reason, while I am fighting I am also very careful of my surroundings, as I don’t be an idiot who became so lost in battle and got killed by the sneak attack thus losing his chance in Palace.

  Such a thing has happened many times and there are marked words of cautiousness written in the document, saying always be careful.

  Buzz!

  Time passed by and we kept fighting when suddenly I heard a slight buzz and the next moment I found all my movements restricted, and it not only me but others around me also found their moment restricted.

  "Congratulations On Passing The 2nd Test!"
