"Shining Lances!"

  Werewolf shouted, and thousands of lances materialized around it; till now, it had been only using the power of its art, but it is now beginning to use the power of its Inheritance.

  Sup Sup Sup!

  Thousands of lances came toward me at incredible speed, possessing the destructive power that would threaten anyone.

  While these lances are not dangerous as these chains, I could not let any one of them hit me, as a fraction of the delay cost to deal with these lances would make the chains catch up to me, against which I am already having a little problem.

  'It seemed like this would be the right time to use that,' I said to myself, sounding completely unsure whether it would work or not, considering it is not my creation; it is something I have found in one of the books I have read in the broken tower.

  It is an interference formation; to interfere with mystic forces like foresight. This formation required a specific type of energy called 'Augur,' which I had never heard about and did not know what kind of energy it was.

  I looked for it in the broken tower and pyramids library and even asked around a few people, but they had no idea about it.

  So, I directly used the rule-bending power when I had activated the formation for the testing but did not know whether it had worked or not; it is not the foresight ability is common, and I could test my move against it anytime I wanted.

  Buzz!

  'Here it goes,' I said in my mind and activated the formation by depositing the rune bending power inside it and felt it releasing the waves after the waves.

  After activating the formation, I did not look at it; if it worked, I would know them; I should focus on dealing with the thousands of lances made of golden fire coming at me.

  CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

  I took out my sword and began to swing it at the coming lances while jumping around the chains, without letting it affect my speed.

  The lances are powerful, but they are still easily dealt with; I am stronger than disputes being on the same level, and if it were not for its art, I would have killed it already.

  A few seconds passed by, and I finished dealing with all the lances and also noticed quite a change in the chains.

  They are still predicting my movements but not as accurately as before; for those who are looking at the battle from outside, it looks like I have gotten better at evading the chains.

  Sup Sup Sup!

  Even the Werewolf seemed to think that as it launched attack after attack at me but all of them were easily destroyed by me while I dodged its chains.

  I would have been even happier If I had been able to pierce my strings inside it. The powerful field around it has shrunk considerably more than before. Now, it is just a layer of film around it, but it has become even more powerful.

  Even after making preparations inside my core, I am not sure whether my strings will remain undetected the moment they touch the compact field around it.

  The bastard had prioritized its safety from the beginning and seemed to understand my limits well to have planned to such an efficient degree that I couldn't help but become impressed by it.

  BANG BANG BANG

  Time passed, and I continued to dodge its chains and attacks; nothing had changed except for me planning on leaving in a few seconds. I would have continued and even tried to kill it through attrition, as Grand Arts may be powerful, but they consume an immense amount of energy.

  Seeing the way it is using the art at full power, it won't be able to sustain it for more than an hour, and at that time, I might have some chance at it, but we are not alone on this battlefield.

  I could sense the powerful presence above me; there were three council-level Grimm Monsters and only one from our side.

  I don't want to force them to attack; even though I have complete confidence in our powerhouse, the council-level Grimms would need just a single attack to kill me. Last time, I was barely able to survive the attack; I don't want to take that same risk again.

  "It has been a fun Werewolf; see you next time," I said with a laugh and jumped; just as I did, a pink circle appeared in the air and passed through it, disappearing in front of its utterly shocked eyes.

  It was not the only one who had made the preparations from the beginning; I had made some too. It is quite difficult to break the space lock created by Grand Arts, but with good research and a little bit of rule-bending power, it can be done.

  Step!

  I appeared in the central command; I had aimed for the Pyramid in general, but as I touched its space, I was diverted here by the Pyramid.

  As I had appeared in the central command, I saw everyone looking at me in surprise. It is not the council but the people of the leadership program who seemed to have come after I went to battle.

  "You have dealt the Grand Art with quite an ease, Micheal, and your escape was quite smooth. It is not easy to break the space lock created by the Grand Art," praised Grand Commander.

  "It was no ease; I had to use all my strength to fight against it. If its comprehension had been slightly higher, I would have really needed a rescue," I replied, but that did not change the expressions on the Grand Commander's face.

  "I have given you the access; I hope you will begin the preparation from today," said Grand Commander; "I start right after I left this room," I replied, which immediately brightened up the smile on her, which eased the signs of tiredness from her face for few seconds.
