Chapter 2264 - Hidden Attack

"Internal Energy!" It said out loud as I got over over shock of me repelling its hidden attack. "So, you are practicing an art; no wonder you are so powerful for your stage," It said, looking at me with far greater seriousness than before.
It had got that one right; I am quite powerful for my stage, and the funniest thing is, it has no idea about my true level. If it comes to know about it, then a simple shock would not be the reaction it would have.
"Yes, I have an art, and you should show me something good to worth my time, or I will just kill you," I said as I swung my sword relaxedly.
This time it did not laugh at my words and looked at me intently before letting out a sigh.
"I was keeping this hidden for the really strong enemy, but now it seemed like I will have to use it to kill you," It said with a hint of slight unwillingness before a change in its aura began, and it is not explosive but smooth.
I became extremely careful sensing the aura and harnessed all the power of the boost to use it at any moment.
"Zaar, you will be the first human to experience the power of this move of mine; you should feel honored to die under it," It said, and vivid armor of scarlet flames appeared on its already armored body.
It had made it already bigger than it had been before; from being eight meters tall, it had become nearly ten meters tall and now looked even scarier than before.
"Scarlet Avatar!"
It said solemnly, and the next moment, I felt its blade next to me. It moved fast; even though I was able to see it, I was not able to react fast enough and instantly decided on completely defensive.
CLAANNNG!
I was barely able to move my sword in position before its fiery ax struck me, and as it did, I felt as if someone had hit me with a fiery wrecking ball.
The immense physical force came with a tsunami of fiery energy, and both forces crashed against me one after another.
Step Step Step
My body shook heavily before I began to take the steps back uncontrollably while at the same time, my armor lit up red as it began to absorb and break the fiery energy, spreading it into hundreds of formations before sending it inside me.
Steaming blood began to come out of my nose and eyes, but I did not have time to care about that as another attack from the Bullman was coming, and I had to defend against it.
CLAANNNG CLAANNNG CLAANNNG
Its attack landed on my sword again; the attack was so powerful that red steam came out of me, and I was barely able to stop myself from flying away, and that was just a beginning, as not even a second later, it attacked me again.
I defended against its attack, fighting every moment for my life and against my mind that wanted me to summon my shields.
Its power had truly surprised me; when I had estimated its strength, I had not thought it would be powerful enough to push me to this level.
I am not weak, I could be said to be quite a powerful Tyrant and had defeated two grandmasters before it and harnessed the bloodline essence of one Grandmaster, which made me even more powerful, and the second stage of my art I had practiced after, made me even more powerful.
Not to mention the solutions I used, all of it has made me quite powerful, but this bastard is beating the shit out of me.
It is pushing me back and also injuring me continuously at the rate at which my healing power could not heal me.
I so much want to use my shields right now, but I am resisting it, as it would derail my plans. By not summoning my shields, I am taking a huge risk. If its ax had hit me, then I would be heavily injured, might even die.
"Die, You Bastard!"
It shouted and attacked me with bubbling rage, as it could not kill me even after using all its strength.
There is another reason for its rage, and that is the conditions of the Grimm Masters. Only one Master had died yet, but many have reached close to the death, and it won't be long before the bodies begin falling.
It is under immense pressure to save its people, and the only way it could do it is to kill me; with me dead, everything would be easy for it. It would be able to slaughter the whole army within a minute.
But despite all its tries, it is unable to kill me. Though it was able to injure me quite seriously, and I could not let it continue for long, I will have to do something about it, or these injuries will begin to affect my performance, and that will cost me my life.
I have no choice but to continue with this risky strategy. If I use my shield, I will incur huge losses, and I have not reached that point yet.
Hun!
Another minute has passed, and when suddenly, a very powerful feeling of danger came over my heart. It is so powerful that if coming danger stuck me, I would die without a doubt, and the thing is, this feeling of danger is not from Bullman I am fighting.
'So, you have finally dared to show yourself,' I said in my mind, and the Bullman in front of me too burst with an extremely powerful aura and moved its ax for the final attack.
It had just moved its ax when a shocking thing had happened; it froze on its spot before it disappeared while I turned back at incredible speed and swung my sword, which is covered in coppery energy.
