Monster Integration Chapter 2263 - Hidden Strike

Chapter 2263 - Hidden Strike

My sword was moving at ant speed compared to its burst into amazing speed. Its position changed in an instant from defensive to offensive.
CLANNG!
My sword moved toward its ax and, a moment later, appeared next to it before clashing it with great power that sent out faint ripples in the space and created a shockwave that pushed away from the Masters that were already fighting quite a distance in front of us.
A slight surprise appeared on its face seeing me taking its attack without the slightest shake, but that did not stop it from launching another attack immediately.
This bastard has first time appeared nearly a century ago, in a powerful ruin. Its last appearance stated it fighting against the human Grandmaster, the human Grandmaster had disappeared, and so is it.
It was said that both it and the human Grandmaster had launched the mutually destructive attack that killed both of them, but the intelligence was clearly wrong. The bastard has been successful in killing the human Grandmaster, and not only that, but he had also grown quite powerful.
The power I am feeling from it is amazing, and what is written in the intelligence did not show it this powerful.
It is not surprising seeing the bastard had not seen for more than half of the century, and it ought to have advanced in some way. Even intelligence about this Grandmaster stated that given its, it should be only treated as a reference if this bastard somehow turned up from the grave.
CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG!
Our weapons kept clashing with more and more power, and like before, it had begun to gain an edge on me. At first, we were equal, but as time passed, it began to gain an edge on me with its experience and power.
Though it is more experienced than me, I am not totally powerless in front of it.
I am very good at defense, and that ability of mine is shining brightly, as no matter how many moves it used and how powerful they are, it is unable to breach my defensive boundary, and it seemed to be frustrating a lot.
Still, despite all the frustration, it is remaining calm, not making any hasty moves that might cost it dearly.
As we are both aware that with our power, we just need one chance to several injure the other and even kill if we are able to use that chance perfectly.
Hun!
A few minutes passed by when a sudden change occurred on the battlefield. The first Master class powerhouse died with the combined effort of my Grimm puppet and human Master class powerhouse, Rose.
It immediately changed the expressions on the Bullman's face, and all the rage it was trying to hold back deep down came back that it was barely able to hold back from spilling it out.
The Grimm Masters condition turned straining from being comfortable when I made the hidden Masters my puppets; they have lost their numeric majority instantly and gave the humans a big edge, which they used to kill their first Master within twenty minutes.
With it dead, my Grimm puppet and rose are free to join the other battles, putting more strain on the Grimms.
From now on, the battle is going to go downhill for the Grimms in the fights of Masters. With each kill, we humans would gain a bigger and bigger advantage.
It would not have been this worse if Ashlyn had not killed the Master scouts; their death had cost the Grimms a lot, and now this had made the Bullman even angrier, as it clearly understood the great implication would have.
"Scarlet Blaze!"
It shouted, and fiery lines appeared around its body before covering it whole; seeing them, my eyes couldn't help but widen. It is a special ability, and these abilities are extremely powerful, and only most of the time, only Grandmaster was able to dig it out of their Inheritance.
It attacked me the moment it had activated its ability, and I have to say, the power bursting out of it had scared me as it was tens of times stronger than its previous attacks, and it was coming at me with an incredibly fast speed that I could not see the ax of it properly and that is a bad thing.
'Second Boost+ Third Boost' 'Crown of Roses!'
I immediately activated the last two of my boosts and also activated the crown of roses, which immediately made my senses stronger.
As the attack became clear, my sword moved with a clear purpose, which is of defense. Its sword is too close to clashing against it directly; the defense is the only choice I have.
CLANNNG!
I was able to move my sword in time before its ax could hack me, and it clashed against my sword. Shaking me from top to bottom while creating a shockwave that sent a visible ripple across the space that tore apart anything it had come across.
The attack of the ax was just a trailer as the next moment, the fiery lines across it moved. They covered its sword before they came at me.
BOOM!
They had just touched my sword when a loud booming sound rang out, and the fiery lines repelled back into its sword just as they tried to come at me through my sword and seeing that eyes of Scarlet Fire Bullman couldn't help but widen up.
I have repelled its real attack with much greater ease than the faint.
I have been hit by such an attack so many times that I would be an idiot to not have any precaution against them.
To defend against such powerful hidden attacks, I have developed a hidden mechanism. A shield of energy, made of my Inheritance energy and internal energy and hidden by rule-bending power.
This invisible shield would be hidden in my sword and would activate when a really powerful hidden attack came at me, which had the power to injure me.
If it had been attacked that had only been capable of pushing me back or injuring me lightly, then this invisible shield would not have been activated.. It is only for emergencies as the cost of making it is not cheap.
