2730 Prison
“Do you think this little prison of yours will be able to trap me?” I asked it with a confident smile on my face; hearing that,
“No, of course not, but this will,” It said with a toothy smile, and a stone trident appeared in its hand, which it instantly threw toward me.
‘Fuck!’
My eyes went wide with horror and immediately made way toward the gap between the columns while activating all three of my boosts with full power; while earlier, I had a feeling of danger, it was still within my control, but now that stone trident had appeared, I would not dare to take a risk.
That thing is a goddammed ancestral inheritance artifact, they are dangerous and powerful, and most importantly, they could power up any of its moves to a terrifying degree.
It is a good thing; these artifacts are extremly hard to create and consumable in nature; otherwise, it would have created a huge trouble for us humans.
It took me a fraction of seconds to reach the gap pillars, which are wide enough that even Grimms could pass through them easily and looked open enough, but I one looked carefully, they would see a thick invisible layer of energy that is no less strong than the pillars itself.
I did not dare to underestimate it and poured all my power into my string arms and coated them with the power of my totem enchantments.
BAANNNG!
The first one to clash with my lance, of course, had struck heavily to the invisible layer, making it visible and creating a wave across it that had spread through the whole prison.
It failed to break it, and nor I had expected it to; if its most powerful attack had been so easy to break, then it wouldn’t have dared to use it on me.
BANNNNG BANNNNG BANNNNG
After the first lance, the second lance struct, then the two axes, swords, and other weapons one after another, destroying it layer by layer, attacking the same spot, not giving it a chance to heal.
Finally, it was time for my own sword to strike the last attack, and seeing barely three thin layers remaining, I was confident that I would be able to break them. While the attack of my totem sword might be weaker than the attacks of strings, it more than makes up for it with enchantments that are the strongest on the sword.
It makes the attack on my sword the strongest of all the attacks, and unlike the attacks of string arms, I am using the mountain cleaving art to strike, which will make my attack even stronger.
BANNNNNG!
My attack struck, and as it did, it instantly cut through the first later and moved to the second later, which also began to cut like butter and did before moving into the third layer and begin to cut it.
A smile appeared on my face, and I became ready to jump out of the gap which is about to open when suddenly, powerful energy covered the whole structure; this energy was so powerful that it stopped my attack for a moment before creating multiple layers, which my sword could not pierce through.
“Fuck!”
I cursed as I stopped and looked up, and as expected, there was a stone trident floating above the prison, powering it, making it far stronger than it had already been.
“Zaar, it is the ancestral inheritance artifact of my tribe; its power is not something you break through,” said Fasra, and for the first time since the battle began, Fasra moved forward toward me before reaching directly in front of me; there is barely distance of few meters between us now.
“You sure are quite confident on your ancestral artifact to appear in front of me; don’t you fear my strings?” I asked the huge Grimm, whose expression froze for a moment before it glared down at me with those huge eyes.
Sometimes, I truly wonder at the size of Grimms; they are four times bigger than us, truly a giant, without the strength to crush us with their stomp, but despite the such huge size and obvious advantages coming with it; the Grimms were never able to defeat us and they never will.
“Yes, I am,” it replied in confidence; “If you are so confident, then why don’t you take off that defense of you? I am sure with me trapped under the power of your move and artifacts, my little strings wouldn’t be able to harm you,” I asked with a smile, but it made it glare at me.
“Well, not so confident after all,” I said, and its glare became even more intense.
“You dump human; you have forced me to use my ancestral artifact, which is fine too because your head will give me the resource of origin that I need,” It said, bringing out the cruel-toothed smile.
“Bring it on them; I want to see how your little move and artifact is able to kill me,” I said in the challenge, not showing even the slightest fear in my eyes.
“Good, let’s see long this confidence of yours last,” It said and waved it land, and multiple holes appeared on each pillar.
SUP SUP SUP
I did not get got feeling about it when and immediately appeared in the center, and at that very moment, huge spikes began to shoot out of the holes at an extremly fast speed that appeared beside me instantly, and I reacted immediately with my twelve weapons.
BANNNG
It is a black ax of mine that stuck against the first spike, and the moment it, I felt a shock traveling through the string arm into my body which made me shake all over.
I was shocked by the power but immensely controlled my emotions and moved my weapons; the power in this attack was immense, so much that if it had been before I received these advancements in vestige, the attack would have sent me flying with me with vomiting the blood.
It is powerful, and hundreds of them, if not thousands, are coming at me; as those holes did not close, they are still releasing the spikes, with me being their only target.
BANNNG BANNNG BANNNG
My weapons moved as they clashed against one spike after another, without letting a single one come closer to me. I am doing my utmost not to let that happen; it will be disastrous for me if any single one of the spikes rammed into me, given the power they have, which is shaking me to my core constantly.
I could feel the power of this attack, which not only came from the Grimm but also from the trident that was floating above the prison; its power is what launched those powerful energy attacks at me.
Thank god I have such a powerful defense against energy; if not for that, this energy would have torn me apart by now. As I have said, it is quite powerful, which made this the strongest attack I had ever faced by the Grimm ever since I have come to this ruin.
Hun!
My twelve weapons were defending against the attacks, but they too many of them, and they were constantly coming that one had finally slipped and came at me with my head as the target.
BANNNG!
It was destroyed by my final defense, my sword.
Though I had destroyed the attack, it had shaken me, and a crown appeared over my head. I was an idiot not to summon it before, but now I am rectifying that mistake.
