BANG BANG BANG

My heart couldn't help but thump loudly, seeing the dent on the airship's hull getting bigger and bigger.

I first thought it is Grimm Monster attack that is making such dents and nearly regretted not taking an escape pod as I am no match for the Tyrant who could make such dents, but when I observed the dents carefully, I noticed the dents are too uniformed to made by the attack which made me take a small sigh of relief.

If I am not wrong, which I should not be, or I would be a hell of a lot of trouble, the dents are had been made by some sort of artifact or tool, which made me take a small sigh of relief.

Seeing the dents, it won't be long before the Grimm Monster broke through the hull, and I have to be ready to attack it at a moment's notice; it would be great if I could kill it with a single attack or at least severely injure it.

I had all the Emperors leave the immediate area; though they are quite strong with their experience in the Devil's Gate, it is Tyrants we are dealing with which could kill them by tens with the simple wave of their hands.

BANNNNG!

Suddenly a loud bang rant out and much louder than the previous ones that it had to take the huge hole into the airship.

Bang Bang Bang

It was a good thing I was prepared and already erected the shield to deal with shrapnel that came out of such an attack. These shrapnels, which my shield easily deflecting, would tear through the shields of Emperors as if they were butter.

"Hahaha, I did not expect some Emperor is still hiding in an airship; I guess it would not be a boring slaughter!" The Grimm Monster said, seeing me coming toward it with a blurring speed.

I moved through the hole which Grimm Monster just tore off; the hole is small double of my size, which would not have been enough for Grimm Monster is come in, and it is better we fight outside; fighting inside will result in it many unintended casualties, despite the fact that it is strategically best location for me given how the airship is for human size.

CLANG!

My sword clashed against the golden brown ax of it, and as it did, I felt huge power coming at me and had to take a couple of steps back to stabilize myself. As I did, I couldn't help but look at the Grimm Monster ahead of me with wide eyes.

'Fuck, this bastard would be tough!' I thought inside me. 

The Grimm Monster in front of me, Crystal Horn Rhinoman but not a normal Crystal Horn Rhinoman but a one that had awakened its Bloodline, which made its horn turn from simple crystal to a golden brown Crystal.

It is wearing earth crystal armor which is simple in design and emits raw crushing power. In its hand had a seven-meter long ax which had a brown metal handle and golden crystal blade which looked extremely sharp.

"Human, you would have to do better than that if you want to anything against me," It said mockingly and swung its ax to me. 

Seeing the speed of its attack, my eyes couldn't help but widen, and I moved my sword to respond to it. Earlier, it had countered my attack almost casually, but this time, it is a little serious, and its attack is very powerful, so powerful that its blade had barely taken a moment to appear in front of me.

Clang!

I barely able to counter the attack, and when I did, I had to take the steps back repeatedly. It is a good thing I have my runes to deal with energy attacks, even when the attacks have a sentient projection; otherwise, I would have been in much more trouble than I am right now.

"No wonder they kept you inside, with you puny little strength, you would not have had been able to last even a minute against others," It said casually and came at me with another attack which is even more powerful than before.

The big battle is being fought on the other side of the airship, and I could not sense it. They seemed to be using some sort of artifacts that, other than sound, I could sense anything, no aura, not energy fluctuation, just sound.

'Hun!'

Its ax had been halfway when its suddenly change its direction. Instead of coming toward my neck and it is now coming toward my waist, and its speed and power also tripled. A frown couldn't help but appeared on my face before it eased the next moment when the speed of my sword also suddenly increased.

I have been prepared for something like that; one would have to be an idiot not to guard against such a simple trick. Though knowing them and having to power to guard against them is a totally different thing; fortunately, I could, albeit barely.

Clang!

I was able to move my sword in front of me in time and guard against its attack. If I had late by even a fraction of a second, that ax would have been able to cut me into two pieces easily.

"Human, let me see how long you last," It shouted and attacked. This time, it did not give me even a moment to stabilize and attack directly.

Clang Clang Clang

Its attack came at me with a lightning-fast speed that I could barely move my sword to defend against it, but that was just the beginning. From the next moment, it began to shower me with its attack as if it wanted to divide me into hundred pieces.

Its combat style is efficient, and every attack of it targets my weakness; seeing such fighting style, I couldn't help but curse inside. It is one of the reasons why I hate fighting those with Bloodline; these bastards get combat knowledge imparted in their souls, which makes them very hard to deal with.
