A couple of things happened the moment I had sensed the horrifying attacks came at me. I activated the 'Forth Boost.'

  I had not activated it in the battle since I have got the strength of the Grandmaster, but now, the attacks that are coming at me are powerful enough that I have been forced to burn my essence. As the power of the fourth boost burst out, I had merged it with my internal energy.

  A single shield appeared in front of me, buzzing with the power of the fourth boost and internal energy, and at the same time, I had activated the copper cleave and swung my sword back.

  Time seemed to slow down in front of me, those attacks coming at me with the speed of sonic felt like they are coming at me with the speed of common man, that I could see every aspect of them and it made the horror in my face deepened further.

  The bone arrow of Foxman is even more dangerous than I had thoughts; the energies those Grimm Runes are releasing are something that made my mind shake, and the bone itself is from a dangerous monster of a peak Grandmaster class.

  It is not just the attack of Foxman that is dangerous but also the attack of Ratman, who is also using a forbidden method like mine to enhance its power. Sensing the power of the two attacks, I don't know whether I would even be able to defend against the attacks successfully

  Still, I am going to give my all; it is the only option I have if I want to live.

  CLANNNNG TRUNNNNG!

  The arrows struck my shield, and the attack of Ratman clashed against my sword at the same time. Instantly, I felt as if the two mountains crashed down on me; one mountain wanted to crush me to a pulp while the other wanted to drain me till only the dead husk of me remained.

  Spurt Spurt Spurt

  The colossal force behind the Ratmans attack was so great that my veins on hand began to pop out despite the strength of my body and the protection my armor was offering.

  It is my great fortune that I had runes that suck the energy, and I have developed an efficient system to break energy that aids those runes. If not for that, the energy that came to attack would have torn me apart in pierces, it is not the great physical force, but the energy behind is the real danger of the attack.

  While the attack of the Ratman has the crushing force, the bone arrow launched by the Foxman is completely different.

  The bone is from the strange beast that has the ability to suck off all the energies, and the Grimm Runes harnesses the swallowing power beyond its limit.

  The moment bone arrow touched my shield, its enchantments had burst into power. These runes begin to harness the natural abilities so greatly that it begins to damage the bone itself rapidly, and it would be turned to dust within less than three seconds, which is what made it extremly dangerous.

  The swallowing power it had burst out with was so dangerous that it had not only begun to swallow the energies present in the shield but also in my body.

  Its power had scared me more than the attack of the Ratman that I had reinforced the energy locks even more and brought out the full power of swallowing rule to deal with, which immediately began to help me against surviving against the onslaught.

  Spurt Rip Crack

  The second passed like an hour as the forces of attacks tore through my body, dealing an unlimited amount of damage to me. I could feel my veins bursting up, my skin ripping, and bones cracking while swallowing the field covering me was threatening to swallow everything up.

  I am resisting with every ounce of energy and will I have, but even then, I did not know whether I would be able to survive or not.

  "You are dead human; there is no way you could survive it!" The Ratman said its voice is quite weak due to the weakness it is feeling, but it is still laughing, and unlike before when it would disappear after every attack, this time it had only put a mile of distance between us.

  It is not just Ratman who is happy but also Foxman too; while the attack was very quick, it had also used some forbidden method to launch that bone arrow that now, it is barely keeping itself in the air.

  Unlike the Ratman, it is still very cautious and maintains its bow toward me while it consumes the recovery medicines.

  Puch Puch Puch

  A second has passed since I was stuck by their attacks, and their energies are still ravaging me, and they have grown even stronger. Blood began to come out of every part of my body while loud ripping and cracking sounds could be heard clearly.

  Every moment I am fighting for survival, burning as much as essence I can to contend against the ravaging energy. I do not care how weak I would be and how much rest I would need; the only thing I have in my mind is to survive as I could care about those things after I survive.

  "Fuck, this bastard taking too long to die," Ratman said two seconds later and came at me. Its speed is slower than before, still faster; it took a fraction of a second to appear next to me.

  "Die, you bastard!"

  The Ratman said and swung its hammer at me, and when it did, I moved my next slowly and looked directly into its eye.

  It seemed to understand what this looked meant as horror appeared in its eyes instantly. Its energies came to an abrupt halt, and it crushed its momentum and was about to retreat at its full speed when suddenly, it had just disappeared.

  One moment it was in front of me, and next, it had disappeared without leaving the slightest trace behind.
