CLLANNNG!

  Step Step

  Another rapid attack fell on me, and this shook not only my shields but also my body and forced me to take two steps back.

  A small smile formed on the Grimm Monsters' face seeing that, and it attacked again with much greater power. My eyes couldn't help but become serious, and I poured all the internal energy I had into the shields, leaving not a speck behind.

  Till now, I had not supplied the shields with the internal energy. I wanted to hold it off as much as possible, but now seeing the power of the attack, I could not anymore.

  CLLANNNG!

  The attack landed on the shield and created a huge shockwave while my glowed brightly but nothing like the sun they had used to shine up before; a smile appeared on my face seeing that, but soon my expressions turned somber when I looked at the expressions appeared on the face of the Grimm Monster.

  "You have a lot of tricks, don't you human? Every time, when I think I got you, you pulled out some trick," It said with a serene voice that had no hint of any other emotions but shook my whole body for some reason.

  "I also have some tricks." It said with the faint maniacal laughter on his face, "These tricks are the reason why you humans tuck their tails and run away whenever you see them," It said, and for the first time, aura blasted off its body.

  Bang!

  A rumbling bang rang out as a powerful aura blasted of it; it was so powerful it had created a shockwave that would heavily injure even a master.

  "I hope you have some tricks to survive this human; otherwise, I would be really disappointed," It said maniacally before swinging its saber down.

  Sensing the frightening power from its attack, a horror couldn't help but appear on my face. As the Grimm bastard had said, this is the true power of Vidette that everyone feared, and it horrifying that even a memo I had received before coming here said that if I come across the Vidette, I should run.

  CLLANNNNG!

  Puh Puh Puh

  Before I could do anything against the coming attack, its saber crashed against my shield, lighting them like the sun in an instant, but under the blinding light, I began to stumble back while vomiting blood which is filled with pieces of my internal organs and even bones.

  I had healed my injuries but got injured again very seriously, a couple more of such injured, and I would be finished; I could not let that happen.

  "Good you survived; I feared you would be blasted into pieces by a single attack," The Vidette Grimm said before bringing down its saber said.

  'It seemed like it is finally a time to use that,' I said to myself with gritted teeth and finally activated the last move I had, the last trump card of mine.

  'Forth Boost!'

  I said, and hundreds of formations lit up inside me, which started to burn my essence, and instantly I felt like I had become a god. I am feeling so much strength I had never felt before, and it made me feel invincible, and I would be invincible in a master class if I had not been fighting these unnatural viddets.

  I controlled the high I was feeling; acting on it would kill me instantly; instead, I diverted a faint trickle of my burning essence into my shields.

  It had been barely five minutes since we began fighting, and I had to last long, more than an hour-long if I wanted to survive. Grandmaster would not be able to call the retreat or save me before the battle had been fought for at least an hour.

  CLLANNNNG!

  The attack landed on my shield, but to the utter shock of the Grimm Monster, my shield barely even reacted. They glowed faintly; even one was not looking carefully, they would not even see it glowing and shocked the hell out of the Grimm Vidette.

  While it gotten shocked, I am not. The art, if it had affected anything in my body most, then it would be my life force.

  The convergence of waves that art hammers release affects my lifeforce the most, half of the grey smoke impurities that came out of me is from my lifeforce.

  The purification had brought the tremendous change in it, that for the first time when I burned my blood as an experiment, I was shocked out of my mind. The power was so immense, and this power will give me a chance to survive this Grimm Vidette.

  "So, full of tricks!" The Grimm Vidette spat and attacked me again with even greater power than before, but this time, I am not as afraid as I should have been. I even reduced the faint stream of burning essence by half, so I would be able to last longer.

  Burning essence is extremely dangerous, and if I go beyond the limit, I will be hurting my foundation, which will adversely affect my future practice. So, the less life essence I use in fighting this bastard, the better it would be for me.

  CLLANNNNG CLLANNNNG CLLANNNNG!

  Another attack fell on my shield, barely lighting it brighter than before, and that seemed to anger the bastards even more as it attacked again and again with greater and greater power.

  Time passed by, and its attacks got stronger and stronger than each minute; I would have to increase the quantity of my life force by little. It is worrying me seeing how rapidly I am burning up my essence, but I have no other choice.

  This bastard is extremely powerful, so powerful that barely any masters are a match of it, and I would not have been if I did not have such powerful, pure life essence.

  If I continued burning my essence at such speed, I would not last much longer…… According to my calculations, I barely have two hours before I burn up a safe level of my life essence, and burning more after that would damage my very foundation.
