2947 Repel
“You are mine, and I will consume you,” said the old snake; it had been barely a few seconds, but a quarter of the blood-red sand had already entered inside me.
My defenses have activated, but they are not doing anything as the red dust tears through everything I have prepared, giving me pain that I have never felt before.
It had taken me a while to think through this fog of pain, and when I looked at the conditions, I couldn’t help but get shocked by what I saw.
‘No wonder my clones hadn’t taken any big action yet,’ I thought as I saw how these blood-red dust particles entered every cell of mine, every fractural of my soul and energy, and they were dangerous.
Each particle had a complex formation drawn on it; I did not understand it much, but enough to know if I did something to thwart it, they would explode, and my clones couldn’t have the risk that doing.
That does not mean they have not done anything; they have activated a few extremely sneaky formations that are made 90% of rule-bending power.
That, even old snake seeping in me, couldn’t detect them.
Even with the formations, my condition is not good; it could even be said it is grim, more than grim, there is a high chance I will die.
While I have motivated myself that I will survive and even take Grimm with me, the chances of that happening seemed quite low, but despite that, there is no other choice than to resist; I will not hand myself over on the silver platter.
I shouldn’t act hastily, or whatever chance I have will also disappear.

So, I calmed myself and watched the process, gaining as much data as possible that would help me in dealing with the Grimm.
Soon, half of the blood-red dust had entered inside me when something changed. The dust began to make a move toward my core; till now, it had only acted against my body, soul, and energy.
My expressions have turned serious; my core is my last bastion. It is due to it I have confidence I will be able to put some resistance against it, and also the reason why my clones are still working despite my soul getting filled with the Grimm.
“I have got your soul, body, and energy, and now, I will have your core, too,” said the voice that rang through me as it closed on my gate.
It enveloped my core, and seeing no reaction from it; I couldn’t help but become disappointed as the cloud moved to swallow it.
Boom!
It had just touched the core when a booming sound rang, and a powerful ripple spread, which threw away all the blood-red dust attacking my core.
It couldn’t help but surprise me as it was not the core that had acted.
“Blessing of the world!” shouted the voice in surprise; it was the moon revolving around my core; it flashed in silvery light and sent it flying.
“Little thing, you will not be able to stop me!” roared the voice, and more blood-red dust gathered before it moved to swallow my core again with even greater momentum than before.
Boom Boom Boom
Another booming ripple rang out and sent the blood-red dust flying again, this time sending it nearly flying out of my body, but even then, it did not stop and continued trying over and over with a greater amount of dust, but still sent back.
“It had not expected swallowing you would be easy, but the difficulty is greater than I had imagined,” said the Grimm and stopped going after my core.
Instead, it began to focus on seeping into my body, soul, and energy; it entered inside me with renewed focus.
Hun!
A few seconds passed when I heard the sounds of battle; they were from a distance, but it was, without a doubt, coming from the battle.
I could not look at it, my body was frozen, and my soul sense was restricted to my body.
Still, I know our powerhouses come to the rescue, but Grimms seemed to be prepared for it, given how they were able to stop them without letting them too close.
The rescue will be hard; I will have to become my savior, and I have already begun preparing as I study the particles of blood-red dust, which are the parts of Grimm.
I think I had understood what it was trying to it.
It had transformed itself into dust, which is nothing but breaking itself into millions of tiny parts, with each particle of dust containing its body, soul, and energy, and it is a method that binds them together.
Without it, everything will simply collapse.
I could make it collapse, and after studying it, I have concluded that I could do it. There are some formations inside that will be able to do it, but doing that would kill me.
As it destabilizes the method and make all the particle explodes, creating an explosion that even Grand Lord will get vaporized by it if they are close enough.
I readied those formations, especially the most powerful ones. I might really be needed to use it, and I want it to work without failure.
Soon, the last of the dust had entered me, and my senses went blind; it was not just my physical senses but also my soul sense and energy. I have lost complete control over it and now falling down, which is nothing to be worried about, nor am I focused on it.
I was worried about my horrific state; the blood-red scales had appeared over my body, and I felt my tongue forking up; my size had also become bigger.
I became a human-Grimm hybrid.
That is not all; there is a complex formation of the Grimm script covering every part of me with tiny runes. They have covered me so densely
I could see it all with a tiny bit of rule-bending power mixed with soul energy I could utilize; it had horrified me that, for a moment, my mind went black.
“Now you are mi” It was saying when it stopped mid-way.
Till now, I have been silent, bearing it all, but no more.
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz!
It is now my time to strike; I will show the bastard the prince it needs to pay to even look at me with eyes of greed.
I have suffered such thinking many times; it is not the only thing that wants my body and is the weakest one.
While it wants to consume, opposite to taking over my body, it is all the same to me, and against it, I have made hundreds of formations.
I could not always depend upon the hidden being to save me; I had to save myself.
So, I activated three formations in combination; alone, they are nothing, but together, they will wreak havoc against the old snake.
As I activated the formation, red, white, and indigo runes burst out of my core, and they spread around my body in seconds.
It just took them just two and a half seconds to spread through every part of my body, overlapping the Grimms formation, without even activating it.
