My rapier moved closer and closer to it, and the moment it touched its chest, both mine and its expression changed, and I could feel the Grandmasters also noticed the change immediately.

  "BASTARD!"

  I heard the curse which seemed to have resonated from the world itself, and I felt the power of Grandmasters tightening around me, and at the same time, another power came to me and protected me.

  Hun!

  I had felt relieved for a moment when I felt protection became tighter and even more powerful. I did not have to even think of a reason for that, as the next second, I saw an aura of the third Grandmaster coming in my contact, and the aura was not friendly at all.

  'Dexter, focus on a task; I will handle the rest,' General said telepathically.

  I did not even answer, as my focus was on my rapier, which was piercing inside it, without any resistance. It had seemed like I had underestimated the power of internal energy; its power was insanely astonishing when concentrated at such a small point.

  Ting!

  It took a fraction of seconds for my rapier to reach its alchemical core, and when I did, I called back all the internal energy, even reducing the power behind my attack the moment before it touched the alchemical core.

  While its body is extremly tough, its alchemical core is not so much. Using such power would utterly obliterate its alchemical core, and I do not want that. It will defeat the whole purpose of so many preparations I have made before launching thing final attack.

  Check!

  Crack Crack Crack

  The tip of my sword clashed across its crystalline violet alchemical core, and the moment it, the cracks begin to form on it.

  Seeing that, I couldn't help but curse inside me as I had still underestimated the power of my attack. All things are not lost yet, I could still salvage it, and I did not waste any time doing that as a silver metallic leaf appeared in my hand.

  Stick!

  I slapped the leaf on the Grimm vidette, and as I did, the silver energy covered it, and just as that happened, the Grimm vidette disappeared.

  "I WILL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!"

  The Grimm Grandmaster shouted, and I saw it became visible with another Grimm Monster, a Parrotman who is clearly a cursemaster, seeing it had a thick curse aura around and staff in its feathery hands.

  "You will have to go through me if you want to lay hands on him," General said as it appeared in front of them.

  "Hehe, I am alone more than enough to deal with you, Jasgr; go kill that pest," The Grimm Grandmaster said.

  The Parrotman nodded and moved toward me; General moved to intercept it but was immediately stopped by Grimm Grandmaster, who appeared in front of him and attacked him with the earthshaking power.

  Hun!

  As I prepared for the Parrotman coming toward me, I received a great surprise from inside me. I had just started harvesting a vidette, wanting to create an essence rose from it. It will revolutionize our understanding of vidette if I do that, for it I had even used the legacy artifact, which is hell to charge.

  As my vines started to harvest, the essence energy moved toward my core instead of filling the form which creates the essences roses.

  This violet essence that started going to the core did not merge with the core; instead, it started going for the tiny mysterious seed.

  Seeing that, I couldn't help but feel relieved; if this unpurified essence had merged into my core, it would have contaminated it, and the consequences of it would have been colossal.

  As for seed taking the essence, I am not surprised. The seed had already been very hungry for the violet energy; it would suck it away immediately after it entered my rule.

  I could see rapid change begin to occur in my core, something like that had never happened before, and I would have liked to watch it, but I could not as the Parrotman appeared in front of me, and again, I would have to be bet my life defending against it.

  I might very well lose my life; it is the freaking Grandmaster who is in front of me, but for some reason, I am not worried about it as it should be.

  "Say your last words, human?" The Parrotman said, and to my great astonishment, there was no hint of that horrible accent in its voice; it is like a fellow human is talking to me; even foxmen were not good as this one.

  "You know the vidette had said the same words to me, and look what had happened to it," I said and immediately cursed my bloody mouth.

  "Good, you have some mouth; I would like to see it speak the same way when I filled every part of your body with the curse." It said and lifted its staff before bringing it down.

  Thud!

  A gentle thud rang out in the air, and that very second, the dark green mist released from the green crystal top of its staff and came at me.

  'Shield of Roses!'

  I activated my defensive method without wasting any moment and poured all the internal energy I had into them to power them further.

  My defensive method is as well equipped to deal with curse attacks as it is with energy attacks and physical attacks, but at their current, even with the boost from internal energy. They are not strong enough to defend against the attack of freaking Grandmaster; they will be decimated within seconds.

  'Forth Boost!'

  I activated, which immediately started to burn my essence, and it gave me a shock. As next second, a power which I had not thought possible to have filled me, not only that it exploded out of me, showing to all those watching I had burned my essence.

  I couldn't help but be shocked seeing the sanguine aura surrounding me; it had destroyed the hundreds of seals I had kept around myself to contain every bit of aura I release…… The aura seals are my specialty which I had not let go of even after assuming this persona.
