3179 Panic
Thirty-five thousand Grimms came from all sides and joined the battlefield. They are big and within a minute, their effects begin to show.
Thirty-five thousand is not a small number, but it shouldn’t have eroded our edge like this. The Grimms had planned it well and while it did not give them as much as advantage, they would have expected.
It had still given them big.
Our edge that we have gained after sacrificing so much had just disappeared. It is not gone forever; we can regain it. We only need to recover from this psychological effect they have created.
It will not be easy, but it won’t be hard either, after what we have accomplished in the past six hours.
I will also do my part.
I had already finished Crabman, with whom I am playing, and started fighting Crimson Bearman. It had a bloodline and is powerful.
Unlike Crabman, whom I could divide into two with a single attack.
I focused on the Grimm fully, forgetting everything unimportant, like the things in my core. I have to kill it, and then another, and then another.
Killing as much as Grimms as possible. Every native does that, it won’t take long for us, to get back our edge and widen it further.
A few more minutes passed, and more cuts appeared on my body when I finally saw the chance and took it.
CLANNNG!
I defended against the attack before moving at a speed I had not used in the battle. Appearing directly in front of its heart, before attacking it with my sword.
PUCH!
My sword begins to pierce through its chest, while its blade comes at me.
Soon, my sword pierced through its chest, and its toothed blade touched me and drew the blood, before stopping suddenly.
Seeing that, I took a sigh of relief. The energy had worked, but I need to make it better. I need it to spread faster. So, the Grimm would freeze, near instantly as I released it into the body.
It is not easy. The first thing I need to do before even releasing the energy pierces the heart. Without it, Grimm’s defenses would wipe the energy immediately.
Piercing the heart sent the whole body of the Grimms into crisis mode. Its body and core focused on the heart, leaving everything unguarded.
The Bearman disappeared and immediately my eyes move to search for the enemy.
I did not have to wait for long. A Chimpman had spotted me and leaped at me with the aura flaring.
“Die!”
It is an Aqua Chimpman, and we are in its domain. The water elemental is so thick here that it provides it with constant amplification.
If it had been fighting in the water, like half of the powerhouses are doing, it would get even greater amplification.
Nearly half of the people fighting are water elemental practitioners. About 35% of the natives and 45% of the Grimms are water elementals.
The water elemental energies of the Clear Lake region give them a boost, and some, with powerful inheritance and bloodline, could even control water elemental energies and water itself to fight.
There is one person in my native world who was capable of that. She was undefeatable in the water.
My sword moved without hesitation toward its coming staff.
This Chimpman is at the Peak of Primary-III class and the most powerful enemy I had faced it. It is slightly stronger than the strongest enemy, I had faced not long ago.
It is not a normal water elemental Grimms, seeing the way it is moving the water elemental energies.
I am going to have a very hard problem defending against it. As for killing it, I did not think about it. It will be an extremely hard battle. I might need to run away from it.
CLANNNG!
Its staff clashed against my sword, shaking from top to down, before sending me back with blood spurting from my mouth like a fountain.

It is holding back some of it and I couldn’t help but feel grateful. If it had used its full power, I wouldn’t have just taken steps back.
This single attack had shown me the scope of its power and I need to prepare all options, and for the first time since this battle begins.
Killing is the last option.
“Hehe!”
It smiled and appeared in front of me like it had teleported and attacked again, with even more power.
I had barely able to stop myself from flying back as I rapidly took the steps back, while it followed without missing a beat and attacked again. I was barely able to defend against it; if I had missed it, I would explode into the blood and gore.
It is not just a physical blow, but also powerful inheritance energies. Those are extremely dangerous.
My armor is stopping them, but if they entered me, then it will be a game over for me.
To be honest, I had been kind of lucky till now. Most of the enemies I had fought are the ones I could kill it. I have never come across those truly, powerful ones who could kill me within a second.
This one is powerful all right, but it is still a step below them.
If I had leveled up to Peak-Primary III. I wouldn’t have faced so many problems, but it is the choice I had made, and I will live with the consequences it will bring to me.
I fought against it while mapping everything around me and the more, I looked, the more depressed I became. There is no chance for me to escape; it is powerful enough to stop me if I tried.
The only way I could see is asking for help but in the immediate area. There is no one who defeats it.
While I could sense those who had the power to defeat it, all of them were busy fighting. The chances they will help me are very low.
A few minutes passed and it increase the power of its attacks further. I am bleeding from every hole and there are several bloody cuts on my body, that I am barely keeping sealed.
“You are quite a good human. Despite having such puny power, you continue to defend. I have to say day, I am impressed,” it said and attacked me with even more power.
I am really panicking right now. It could kill me, and I have no way of surviving.
I have asked for help, but everyone is busy. They won’t be able to help me for a few minutes and till then, it will be game over for me.
I search for ways, even asking five of my clones to think, but even they, who have great analytical power, couldn’t think of a way to get me out of this predicament.
I thought hard in panic when my gaze fell on water and a bulb in my mind lit up.
An idea formed in my mind. It is extremely risky, considering the water is its domain and I have so far avoided it, but with how things are. It is the only way that might help me live.
