3845 Little Strings

BANNNNG BANNNNG BANNNNG

The Bullman is relentless; it is attacking from all sides using every type of attack.

Currently, there are thousands of massive energy swords clashing against the shields or rather spheres, I had formed with the shield while moving three shields through the sphere to defend against its attack.

A single shield is more than enough to deal with energy attacks. These attacks are powerful, but they are energy attacks; the ones, I am very capable of dealing with.

It is a weapon attack, that made me worried. The sphere won't be able to last if the sword attack hits it.

It is why the three shields.

I am making it look, that the sphere is defending against its sword and energy attacks, and it is, seeing the three shields are defending against the attack through the sphere.

It is getting frustrated and angry and channeling that all into its attacks, making them stronger and faster, but I am defending against them all with my shields.

I have found out that the three shields could move inside the sphere much faster than in the air. It is not a fact, I knew before; it didn't happen to me before.

It is likely because of the change in the formation. I would need to study it in greater detail if I can survive this battle.

Earlier, I was planning to remove the sphere, as soon as the energy attack was over, but now, I do not wish to. The shields are moving too fast inside the sphere; the efficiency of defending is much greater with three shields now than it is with four shields.

Despite the attacks getting much faster than before.

"How long do you plan to hide behind the shields?" asked the Bullman as it continued with its furious attacks.

"Till the end of the battle," I replied, to which it grinned. Though there is no mirth in its grin, but anger and hatred.

"You are underestimating me too much, native," he said, with its eyes blazing. To that, I shook my head. "I am not underestimating you. I am just confident of my defensive methods." I replied, which made it even more angry.

It is thinking; I am mocking it, which I am not. What I said is true, I am confident of my shields, as long as I move them in front of his attacks, I will be safe.

"I am going to break that confidence of yours," it said, and a dense aura came out of it, covering miles in an instant. I do not care about the aura, I care about the power, it is projecting.

It is really high.

My luck is really bad that I had caught the eye of this bastard. If there had been a Grimms weaker than it; I would have been finished with them already, or at least fighting a wild battle.

Now, I am sitting in a turtle shell, with fear in my heart. That I might not be able to move the shield in time and it will break through the sphere before killing me.

These thoughts kept flowing in my mind, despite not wanting to, and all I could do was ignore them, which is another challenge.

CLANNNNG!

It attacked again, with a massive phantom sword covering its original sword. That massive sword clashed against the shield, sending a huge ripple across the sphere.

A surprise appeared in its eyes, while I let out a chuckle, which made it even angrier.

It had thought. It would be able to break the shield with this attack. It is powerful alright, but not enough to break my shields. It would need to use at least its full power to have the chance to break my shields.

CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG

Its attacks kept hitting me; it was not just the sword, but also the powerful energy attack that would terrify the Sky Sovereigns, but against the sphere, all they could do was create a ripple.

Seconds passed, and the attacks continued. They are filled with rage and anger, along with massive bloodline energies, which are entering my body.

The energy is powerful and painful, but I let it enter inside me and merge with the runes.

Most of it went to the runes, but some into my satellite, where it would filter and then go back to the strings where it would merge with my inheritance energy.

It is increasing the defenses of the shields and spheres.

It also showed me the power of the new satellite. It had paled in its uses after a few months.

I gave quite a lot of time, in designing the new iteration of the satellite. Adding a lot of ancient rune formations. It didn't disappoint me.

To filter the bloodline to this degree, isn't something even my armor with strings couldn't achieve.

Seconds passed, and a smile lit up on my face. There was a smile on my face; it was filled with confidence, but it was fakee.

This smile is small, but it is genuine.

I had suffered enough to attack, and it was time. I show it what I am doing.

Hun!

I was about to act when suddenly; I had stopped. It had stopped, with its rage reaching a completely new height. It looked like, it wanted to torture me for years and eat at the same time.

"You have made me really angry, and I wouldn't be Jortha of my name if I didn't punish you for it!" it said and my heart leaped a beat.

My mind told me to act immediately, but I didn't. Instead, I watched as the massive aura blasted out of its body. Forming a colossal phantom, which merged back inside it, strengthening it further.

"Its time, I break your turtle's shell and punish you for what you did," it said and swung its sword toward me at incredible speed.

As it did surprise appeared on its face as the sphere disappeared and I moved toward it with the sword in my hand.

It was surprised, but it didn't stop. It seemed to have felt something and poured more power, into its attack, making it stronger and faster.

CLANG!

It took an instant for its sword to reach mine before they clashed.

As they did, shock appeared in its eyes, before it morphed into alarm. Right when its sword touched mine; something happened. The momentum of the sword reduced and the large amount of power surrounding it suddenly disappeared.

I parried away its massive sword and moved toward it.

Its sword followed, but to its horror, its speed was reduced so much, that it couldn't catch up to me, which it would have done instantly.

Without strings, holding it; killing me would have been child's play for it.

Pachak!

I appeared in front of it and attacked. Diving the Grimms into two from the waist a moment later and sending the energy inside, crushing its defenses before pulling the two parts inside.

Killing the Grimms in such a way is extremely risky, but I have no choice. I didn't want to pierce the heart as my signature through which people could easily recognize me.

This time, I had developed a method and tested it on a few Earths Sovereign and Sky Sovereign; it worked on them, and let's hope, it worked on this one too.

Both parts appeared in my core and connected, and a few seconds later, the runes began to cover it, making me feel relieved.
