  After their first clash, they have gone crazy in attacking each other, launching one powerful attack after another at extremely fast speed.

  The Apeman Vidette seemed to be an incarnation of the strength itself, and it is using it skillfully. Within five seconds, it took control of the battlefield and began the powerful assault on Rhea that she could only respond to.

  It is not her fault, Rhea had her power, but she does not have the experience of the vidette. Its combat style is furnished over a century or centuries; it is the only thing these bastards could work on, which makes it very hard to deal with these bastards.

  The only reason I was able to kill them is my strings which are invisible and wrapped around them without them knowing, and so, unless Rhea has something like that, she will have to defeat inguinity raw or power; I hope she has one of them.

  While she is only able to respond, she has been doing a pretty fantastic job. The vidette had tried to come at me and the formation, but she had stopped its bid for that.

  I wish I was at my peak; with my strength, it would not have been any problem, but I am not. Now, not only do I have to be careful of the vidette but also actively manipulate the formation to deal with twelve broken parts.

  I have to be extremely careful, the slightest mistake on my part and Jim would be finished, and I could not let that happen.

  To be honest, I am really angry at this bastard. If it had come a few minutes later or minutes late, things would have been much easier; I would not have to juggle two things at once, which is straining me quite a lot.

  Alas, there is nothing I could do other than handle the formation with utter carefulness and believe in my friend in protecting me.

  I had just throught that when the Apeman vidette appeared next to me and attacked, but before the hammer could be reached me, Rhea appeared in front of me and stopped it. I moved away while maintaining my delicate control over the formation.

  Thirty seconds have already passed, and I would need another thirty seconds or a minute at most before I succeded and bring out Jim.

  I am not too happy with the bringing out; it would be like bringing him out volcano to the frying pan, but there is no other option. This is the only chance I have to bring him out as I had already used nearly all the Grandmaster class ink I have.

  If I failed, then it would be really hard to bring him out or even alive, seeing I am moving these broken formations. The moment they get out of my formation’s control, they will go batshit crazy and rip Jim apart.

  Seconds passed by, and I continued with manipulating the formation. It is a hard thing that needs extreme control, but I am doing it and even begin to focus on it all my concentration, believing my friend would protect me.

  There is also Ashlyn on my shoulder, watching Grimm vidette coldly. If its attack is really close to attacking me, Ashlyn will take action, but I hope that does not happen; I do not want to reveal her identity to anyone.

  She and Nero are my biggest trump cards, and I want them to remain trump cards for as much time as possible.

  A minute and thirteen seconds passed by, and finally, the runes blazed like the sun as I was able to open the gap big enough through the formation. The gap will not last forever; the energy within runes is rapidly expanding, and within a second, it will be completely spent.

  Jim seemed to understand that before I could even signal, he jumped out of the gap and got out of formation that caged him for a week.

  A smile couldn’t help but appear on my face, but just as it appeared, it froze up as the vidette appeared beside a Grimm monster with a vicious smile on its face.

  "Die Human!"

  It said and swung its hammer at him at incredible speed and power. I was about to ask Ashlyn to rescue him when I saw there was no fear on Jim’s face, the same for Rhea, who did not come to save him; instead, she looked at the vidette with mirth.

  Jim looked at Warhammer without any fear despite its power to blow into pieces; instead, a smirk appeared on his face as he threw a blue bottle at the vidette.

  Seeing the blue, my eyes couldn’t help but go wide, the bottle releasing very dangerous peculiar type of energies which made every hair on my body goes up. The vidette seemed to have felt the same as it gritted its teeth and stopped its attack, and moved its hammer to defend.

  Crack!

  Bang!

  The bottle cracked and exploded, covering the Grimm vidette in a dense blue fog. "Rhea, you are not doing your job as my protector well; you have yet again forced me to waste another bottle of blue button potion," Jim said with a sigh before he turned at me.

  "Micheal, my dear friend, I did not think I would be rescued this soon, and you would be one come to rescue me," Jim said as he appeared in front of me.

  "Snort, were you expecting a Grandmaster to save you or thought your girlfriend will bring you out of her by the power of her altitude?" I asked back, to which a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.

  "When you say like that, it truly seemed like you are the only person who could save me in the shortest time," He said with a smile.

  He had changed in the years; he became slightly taller, and his lanky frame little muscular, which made his already handsome face even more handsome.

  I couldn’t help but feel happy seeing Jim; it had been a long time since I had met him.
