Chapter 3278  Defeat

"So, mind telling me a few things about this ruin?" I asked with a smile on my face, as I countered its attack and attacked with mine.

"I am sure you would have found most of the things by now," it replied mockingly.

The b.a.s.t.a.r.d is angry, but it is not letting that anger control it. It is still very much in control of itself while using anger to harness more power from its bloodline.

Emotions are the best tools to harness the power from the bloodlines and the anger is greatest but most dangerous.

Less than a quarter of the Grimm could control their anger to harness the power, while the rest lose their mind over it.

"Yes, most things. Like you guys, were doing something in secret, using your puppets, but being found out, and that brought Primes from realms," I said, implying I know most things.

It is just what I had got from humans, and Grimms and what Nero had eavesdropped when the Grimms were talking about it.

Its eyes shot in surprise, hearing that, but it soon calmed down.

"Well, there is no loss in telling you a few things, since you are going to die anyway," he said after a few seconds of silence.

"We had found something extremely precious and were retrieving it through our puppets, but found out those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds."

"The natives from realms came and mighty war happened. It shook the whole world and destroyed this land beyond recognition that the natives broke it from the world and sealed it," it said and smiled while continuing to attack me.

The b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

I cursed, it had provided me with incomplete information. It is frustrating, but fine, as it had connected a few pieces.

"So, what is the thing that caused the war?" I asked, and the smile on its face turned mocking. "Dead men do not need to know that," it replied and attacked with even more power.

I had defended, not letting its rusty axe come close to me.

It is a skilled fighter. Unlike those Sovereigns I had fought in the castle, who could barely control their power, much less use it efficiently.

Still, my clones are recording it and studying all its moves. The flow of time is helping a lot and also the increased mental power. My clones are now, could study, my enemies in more depth than before.

I am in no hurry to end the fight and nor I could. It is powerful and I have to be patient.

The more data I have, the better it would be for me when I decided to deal with it.

A few more minutes pa.s.sed and I could see it was getting more and more frustrated by its lack of progress against me. It couldn"t land a single attack on me, and even the shaking had stopped long ago.

My clones had adjusted my inheritance to deal with its power more suitably.

I have to say; I have lucked out with the clone methods. I have come across many of the clone methods; including one found in the storage of Grimm in the castle, but not even a single one could compare to the one I am practicing.

It is in a completely different league. It felt like it is tailored for me.

I didn"t forget; I have to do something for myself and while I had not promised, I will do it. I will do it, but not now. I will have to become very powerful before I could even think of doing that.

"You were better than I had imagined, human; it seemed like I won"t be able to defeat you without my full power," said Crockman.

A thick green aura released from its body like the powerful tides before started to form a phantom behind it.

I am surprised.

It using all its power; I thought it would increase it a level further, before using its full power, but I don"t mind. We have been fighting for a little more than half an hour; it is time, to end it.

Burst 100%.

I activated the full burst. This time, I am going to need it to defeat this Grimm.

I looked at the phantom and felt its powerful suppression without looking into its eyes. Here, that is an extremely dangerous thing.

A moment later, the phantom merged into the Crockman, reinforcing its power.

"Now, you die!" it said as the huge phantom of a green ax materialized around its ax and it attacked.

Seeing the attack, my expression became serious, and I harnessed every bit of strength I have and swing my sword. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d is not holding back and if I hold it back, I will regret it.

CLANNNG!

Its ax clashed against my sword, and my eyes widened. A moment later, I begin to take the steps back, while vomiting blood with the pieces of my organs.

"You defended it!" it said with a clear shock in its eyes. "As I had said, you are strong, but not strong enough to kill me," I said as I wiped away the blood from my lips.

"I will show you how strong I am. You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" it shouted and came at me, with bloodline energy exploding around it.

It is powerful and suppressive; if it had been those Sovereigns I had fought in the castle had been standing here, they would have already been on their knees, by now.

I steeled my heart and swung my sword with every bit of power I have.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG.

Our weapons clashed and with each clash; I would take a step back and vomit blood, while it would follow me instantly, wanting to finish me, before I could recover.

It is hard to defend when it is attacking with such power. Even when I do, it is coming with the cost.

At every clash, I am getting more and more injured, and pain. As the shocks of the attacks try to grind my internals into the paste. If it is not for my strong healing power and formation in the core, they would have done that.

A little over three minutes pa.s.sed, and I am still defending while taking a step back and vomiting.

In these three minutes, my condition did not improve. Instead, it had worsened, I become more injured and my skin had gone pale, and it looked like I was on my last leg.

"Now do you think I have no chance of defeating you?" asked Crockman as it came at me with another attack, to which I was a little slow to respond.

"Yes, because you are dead," I said, and its lips curved to laugh when suddenly, its lips froze when it saw me dodging at speed; it had not seen me move.

It immediately reacted and turned my ax toward me, who was moving toward it. But how easy it is to break the momentum of your most powerful attack.

It is skilled enough to do it in fractions of a second, but it was all the time, I needed to appear in front of t.

It tried to dodge and defend against the defensive method, but I had worked too hard in this place. It will not be able to get away unless it is hiding a serious amount of power.

Which I know, it isn"t.
