"Burning Sun!"

It shouted, and its suddenly became denser and scalding that if any lord came ten meters radius of it, they will turn to ash.

​​

The heat of aura had attacked me too, but it did not affect me, which is quite a surprise to it. I am an elemental fire user and have a pretty good fire-resistant that scaldingness of this level did not affect me.

This heat is just the residual effect of its method; the real attack is the blade which is covered with a thin layer of extremely compact brown energy.

'First Boost!'

Seeing the power of its attack, I activated the first boost and moved toward it as a stream of energy begin to spread through my body extremely fast.

This trickle felt like a trickle, way different from the flood I used to but still, even at 1% strength, it had provided me with a great boost.

Clang!

My sword clashed against it, sending the powerful bloodline energy at me through my sword. The energy is powerful, and if I did not have protection, it would have burned me to ashes, even with the strength I have.

As I had said, it is the strongest Bloodline I had seen in the Grimm Monster, and I do not say it lightly. In the Treasure Palace, I had consumed a lot of bloodlines from weaker to stronger, not to forget research I had done on them.

Earthsun Bloodline is one of the top Bloodlines, and if I want to survive, I should not take it lightly, even for a second.

Clang Clang Clang

After the first attack, it immediately moved for the second, which I also had countered, but that did not stop; it had launched another attack and another after that.

It begins to launch attack after attack, every attack of it smooth and fast, and even with the strength we are fighting, I have to be careful.

Even with my soul being suppressed, the attack that came at me seemed quite slow. So slow that I could see its blade tearing through the air as it came at me; not only its attacks seemed slow to me, but my attacks also very slow.

I want to make them faster, but my strength is suppressed; my mind is moving at the speed of a hovercar, but my body at the speed of a monster cart which is being pulled by the level 1 Master.

I am not the only one feeling this; I am sure the Foxman I am fighting also feeling the same.

Due to it, it had become quite hard to finished the battle early as we have a huge time to think about our attack and defense. Every time it attacks, there are a hundred ways flashed into my mind to defend against this attack.

While it is quite frustrating, it is also becoming quite invigorating as this battle is not a battle of skills but also wits; I will have to be very craft in defeating it; it is a good thing I have some crafty moves.

Clang Clang Clang

Half an hour passed by since our battle had begun, and since then, nobody was able to gain the upper hand on each other. It is damn hard to do that with our minds working extremely fast and body reacting slowly.

It is like we are the only way one will win the battle if the other one tired another out, and this way might turn disadvantages to me.

The vitality of the Grimm Monsters is very strong, and not many humans could compare to them. I am one of the people who compare them in vitality and surpassed most of them in my level but not all of them, especially the ones with powerful Bloodline.

I feel that I would not lose this Earthson Foxman in vitality and stamina, but nothing could be said about it; I would rather not take a risk when I was fighting against one of the members of one of the craftiest tribes among the Grimm Monsters.

Hun!

I had just thought that when the Foxman performed one strange move at extremely fast speed

It flung its rapier at its other left hand from the right hand, and a small shield appeared on its hand, which it quickly moved toward my sword while its sword in its left hand moved toward me as its aura flared explosively.

It had also understood winning the battle through the normal way is near impossible, seeing we have a huge amount of time to think. So, it decided to use this crafty move and stake it all.

It had used this move when its sword was just an inch away from clashing against mine.

A move was in classic Foxman style; I couldn't say I am surprised by the sudden move.

Second Boot!

I activated the second boost without wasting any second thought and begin to move back at my greatest speed. The bastard is using all its strength for the attack; seeing the aura and expression on its face, it is clear that it is using every bit of the power I have.

Clang!

It stopped my sword with its shield before it could move toward its sword and moved its sword toward my stomach at even greater speed.

Its sword slowly came toward me; it is three times faster than my speed of taking the steps back, and it is going to hit me in the next second, and I can't wait for that to happen.

It is not the only one that could launch a crafty attack, I had prepared mine the minute the fight had to begin, and it would be a great time to use it and finished this bastard.

Clang!

Its sword crashed into my stomach, but instead of piercing throught it, it stopped by soft, vibrant green crystalline armor, which is only able to pierce a centimeter before stopping.

The centimeter-thick green crystal is just a soft upper layer; the real defense lies behind it. My vines, it is not easy to breach them; even in the suppressed state, they are strong enough to completely defend against such attacks.

Now that it finished with its attack, it is time I launch mine.
