Chapter 1888 - Blood Burn
A violet energy phantom was released from the Bone Snakeman; this phantom is of the Bone Snakeman but looked completely different than the Bone Snakeman I was fighting. It is clad in a violet armored robe and has a helmet of legionary style.
The aura it is emitting is strange but powerful; fighting it won't be any less difficult than the Bone Snakeman, and the worse thing is, I will have to fight more than one phantom.
Another violet energy phantom released from the Bone Snakeman and then another, the third one was last, as it came out, the face of Bone Snakeman had become visibly tired. It is not easy to use the projection method, especially when the projections are this powerful.
"Human, you die with honor knowing I am using servants of Hod to kill you," It said and motioned its phantoms toward me; as it did, all three phantoms came at me with the blurring speed.
Earlier, I was planning to use my blood energy sparingly so that I could fight for a long but now, I have to use it in a large amount and finished the battle in a short time if I do not want any permanent consequences.
The Bone Snakeman seemed to understand it very well; it is due to that it dared to use to this move. Honoring me with the most powerful move is just bullshit on its part; it just wants to crush the danger before it has even appeared.
The Essence Burn is one of the most powerful methods one could use; it is more powerful than the projection. When it saw me using it, it immediately used the projection, so even if I go crazy and decided to burn all my essence for one last attack to take it with me, it will survive with the help of these projections.
The sanguine aura around me became deeper as I started to burn a large amount of essence energy; with me doing it, immense power began to course through me, and I swung my sword against the phantom.
CLANNNG!
My sword clashed against the first phantom's ax before I dodged the attack of the second phantom before attacking the third, whose hand was defended with its ax.
These phantoms are as strong as I had thought; even after using so much essence for the power, I could not shake them.
Still, I do not plan to increase my power further; I have no interest in destroying these phantoms. They are just a move; my real target is Bone Snakeman and always had been even before the battle had begun.
If it had been any other Grimm Monster, I would have finished with right now, but the Bone Snakeman is too powerful; I have to be extremely careful, lest it got a hint of what I am doing.
CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!
It is a good thing; I am fighting with my back against the wall. If I had been in the middle of this Herb Hall, I would have had a much harder time dealing with them, seeing they could attack me from any direction they wanted.
"Wrath of Hod!"
Things were already hard for me, but they became even harder when Bone Snakeman decided to join the battle as it had recovered a little.
CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!
Thousands of axes had materialized around it before it attacked me with them. It did not release them all; no, it is attacking me with one ax at a time. Its timing is also perfect; it would always attack at a critical juncture, and due to its distractions, I am in danger of getting hacked every second.
"You bastard, attack me up close if you have guts," I shouted at the Bone Snakeman angrily as I deflected another violet ax while dodging the hacking attacks from two phantoms.
"Hehe, I am fine from here, human," The Bone Snakeman said as it attacked me with another ax which I dodged and then countered three attacks coming from the phantom.
As I am at my wit's end dealing with the continuous attacks and if my battle experience and all these small abilities I had developed, I would not have been able to deal with so many attacks. Let it have its fun right now; soon, it will be my turn to laugh. Until then, I have to survive.
Time passed, and attacks continued on my way, and I continued to defend against them with the cost of my essence. The changes of burning essence had been apparent on me, my skin is becoming paler, and I am thinner; the moment I stopped burning my essence, I am going to be quite weak.
It is also the end of the rope as well, it had used its most powerful move to finished me off, but I am still surviving despite it joining the battle. While it is frustrating, there is full confidence in its eyes that it is going to kill me; unfortunately, it is not going to happen; it has already become too late.
It had already fallen into my trap, and vines were now spreading all over it, each second covering more and more of it.
I wanted to take action right now, but I decided to wait for a little longer. Though it had fully fallen into my trap, I wanted my trap even stronger, so matter what card is pulled out, it would not get away from the fate that awaits it.
Hun!
Another minute passed when axes that were supposed to be coming at me at this second did not come; when I looked toward it, I found hundreds of axes are still floating around it, but it is not attacking me as it was doing for the past couple of minutes.
