'It is time,' I said, looking at the state of the native. If I didn't interfere in the fight in a few seconds, the stone skin man will die.
I stepped into the stealth field and walked inside. Immediately, the Grimm noticed me and turned.
Its expression remained neutral before a grin appeared on my face.
"Another native; it seemed like today's lunch was going to fill me up," it said and waved its hand toward the stone skin. Immediately, white energy pillars came out of the ground and caged it.
"Nice jail," I praised, looking at the cage, which had imprisoned the stone skin. It looks powerful seeing, stone skin man wasn't even able to make a scratch with its attacks.
"It will keep it busy while I deal with you," it said and came at me with an aura blazing.
Burst 80%.
I grinned back as the power filled me, and I moved toward it. This Grimm is very powerful, but it is no surprise to me; the moment I investigated it, I know it is powerful, Grimm.
It will be the most powerful Grimm I would fight here, and that's what makes it even more interesting.
It was just playing against the stone skin. If it had used as much strength, it was coming to attack me; it would have been dead a long time ago.
It took barely a second to appear in front of me before swung that giant ax with the black blade. I didn't wait and moved the long sword in my hand to the counter.
Clang!
Our weapons clashed, and I shook from head to toe, while the thick white bloodline energy went for me, and it was kind of different from most inheritance energies.
It is vibrating at the microscopic level at an extremely fast speed. At such speed, it could break anything.
Even my armor had got threatened by it before it was quickly fixed by my clones. Now, my armor had taken all the bloodline energy inside as the vibration have become useless.
"You are not weak, but also not strong enough to survive me," it said, and the bloodline energy rumbled around it, before forming a phantom white lion that enveloped around it.
"Die!"
It roared and attacked with its claw, which had the ax behind it.
Seeing the attack, I couldn't help but turn somber and harnessed more power from the burst, before attacking.
CLANG!
Its claw clashed against my sword, shaking me. Forcing me to take a step back and attack again, without giving me even a moment to recover.
I forcefully controlled my body and swung my sword in defense.
CLANG CLANG CLANG!
I defended, but another attack came, and then another; it continued to launch an attack, with the phantom lion covering it.
Its movements are animalistic and unpredictable, but I have fought too many of the Grimms for such attacks to thwart me, but still, I remained careful.
"Good. You are doing excellent human, much better than the ant over there," it said with a laugh, glancing at the stone skin man, who is still attacking the cage, but failing to achieve anything.
"You are not bad yourself," I replied, and the phantom gave out a feral grin and attacked.
Hun!
I thoughts, it would be just another attack as before, but no; it was not as its claw had stopped midway and its tail came. The ax, which was in the claw, suddenly appeared in the tail, which was coming at me at a really fast speed.
CLANG!
I harnessed more power in an instant and increased the speed of my sword and was able to defend against the attack barely.
It hit me hard, and I had to take a couple of steps back, and blood leaked from my lips.
CLANG CLANG CLANG
I didn't even have time to wipe the blood off my mouth and it attacked again with its claw.
I had defended it when it attacked with another claw and then with the tail again. It had not only started to attack me with all its body parts, but its movements had become even more animalistic.
"ROAR!"
It roared like an animal and attacked again with even greater power and animalistic grace.
It is not copying the animal movements, but revealing in them, becoming one with them. It is talented, I'll give it that; even if it is a method, what it is doing is not easy.
It must have spent years to learn and gain control over this method to get such proficiency.
It will be amazing if I can kill it. Which now felt like going to be really difficult seeing its skills, but will also be fulfilling. Not to mention the bloodline energy I will get from it.
Just thinking that filled my body with energy.
"It had been a while since I had fought a native like you, human," it said and an even more powerful aura came out of its body and immediately, its attacks become stronger and faster.
I had to harness more power to deal with it and even then; I was getting injured slowly by it.
The bastard is a power, and there is no denying it and I couldn't use all my power. It is still hiding a lot of it, and I had to save mine for that; as I am feeling, I am going to need everything I have to deal with it.
Or more.
It kept attacking, and I kept defending, while the stone skin man was also trying to get out of the cage and failing miserably.
I could break his cage, but it wouldn't help him. The Lionman would simply kill him, seeing him escaping, and with its speed and power, I don't think I would be able to stop it.
So, it is better for it to remain in the cage, but it didn't seem to understand that since it is trying to break it.
Not that I blame him. If I had been in its place, I would have done the same.
A few more seconds passed when it suddenly stopped and looked at me with all seriousness and anger.
"You should have used your full power from the beginning," I said. I don't know why I said it, but I did, and now it is grinning.
"Yes, I should have done that," It said and a thick misty white aura begin to release from the phantom of a lion, covering it and forming the phantom of the regal Lionman in behind.
A moment later, the phantom had merged back into it, and the changes begin to appear on the lion phantom.
It becomes thick, that the Lionman inside could barely be seen from it and dense white stripes begin to appear on its body. They are shiny and glowing with power that I wanted to escape.
I wanted to escape; the Grimm had revealed the power, which could kill me, and I wanted to run away.
I stayed in my spot.
ƥαṇdαs ηθνε|·ƈθm It had been a long while; I had fought an enemy like this, who is so powerful and skilled. I am fighting it, without any backup or safety net like Nero or Ashlyn, who could save me if things turned bad,
I am on my own against this powerful enemy.
