Chapter 2001 - Crushed Defenses

"Eh Eh Eh!"

It again let out the weird laugh, and the sea of curse in the deepest part of me began to churn before a huge super tsunami formed, and the strangest thing is, in the center of a huge tsunami is my face, my face. It looked exactly like me, but it had an evil smirk on it.

"The Core Shall Be Mine!" The face declared loudly, and the tsunami moved toward my core, bringing the whole curse sea with it.

I am in shock hearing the voice, a voice similar to mine.

Hearing its evil laugh earlier, I had thought its intelligence might have reached the level of five years old human child and that that was shocking enough for me, but now, it had spoken, and the way it had spoken had left me with no doubt that its intelligence is equal to mine or even greater and had been for quite a while.

If it had low intelligence, it had not waited for this long and would have attacked me earlier when I was at my lowest, but it did not.

Killing me was never its target; its target had always been consuming me and occupying my body, and getting my core would be the best way. My core is a connection to everything; once it had got it, it would have resistance in occupying my body and consuming me.

I am still quite shocked by its intelligence; I have read about sentient curses in the Hermes Library, and they did not gain such intelligence in such a short period of time in a small world like mine; it needs to go through many special circ.u.mstances for something like this happen.

I could not think Ive come across any of such circ.u.mstances that might have helped it spur in its intelligence.

While many changes I have gone through may look special but when one compared to the ones written in the books responsible for such quick gain in intelligence, they do not hold the candle. The thing is, not only its intelligence has increased but also its power.

It moved toward me speedily, but before it could come for my core, it had to pa.s.s the defenses I had prepared.

The first one is the oldest, which the teacher had upgraded by placing the mysterious s.h.i.+eld as the core; it is one of the strongest defenses, which grew even stronger yesterday when a teacher had used her newly gained knowledge from the Hermes library.

It would take it at least a minute for its breakthrough; there might even be a chance that it might not be even able to break through it in ten minutes. If I do get ten minutes, I would have no need to fear it as by that time, I would be able to complete my breakthrough into the Tyrant stage, and it would be a bug that I would be able to crush with my stomp.

I have developed very specific abilities with this curse in mind; I just need to utilize this move and will be able to finish up this b.a.s.t.a.r.d in a day or two.

Bang!

I was having those thoughts in my mind when the huge tsunami crashed into me the s.h.i.+eld formation and crushed it within a second. It did not even need a complete second to kill it; it had destroyed it in a fraction of a second.

A horror couldn't help but appear on my face seeing that, it had destroyed my precious formation within a second.

Buzz Buzz!

As the formation was destroyed, two hidden formations immediately appeared inside me, one after another.

One is yellow while the other one is white-green; both of them are powerful, especially the white-green one; the teacher had literally put her blood and soul into it.

BANG!

The formation had just activated when the tsunami had reached the yellow formation and crushed through it without stopping even for a second. It did not look like the formation had even been able to stop it for even a micro-second.

The curse moved toward the last white-green formation; creating it, a teacher had added a drop of her essence. Doing that will weaken her at least for a month, and doing it in time like this is an extremely bad decision when people like her are being targeted by a.s.sa.s.sinations.

Till now, four expert healers have been a.s.sa.s.sinated by the Grimm Monsters; one of them had been a.s.sa.s.sinated by the hands of his own student.

"Ke ke Ke…."

It seemed to understand that white-green formation is my last defense against it, and to tease me, it let out another weird sound which is very high pitched and grating to the mind. If regular Tyrant to hear it, they would immediately faint on their spot and bleed from orifices.

It did not affect me much. Even when my soul is injured, it is strong enough to defend against such attacks, not to mention I am in extreme pain due to my soul injury that its weird grating noise felt like a whisper to me.

It took barely a second to reach the white-yellow formation, and just as it reached it, it crashed into it with its full power.

BANG!

A loud bang rang out as the cursed sea crashed against the formation, which looked like a silk curtain. As it crashed, a deafening sound rang out, and a wave created across the curtain; other than that, no other damage could be seen on it.

Crack Crack Crack!

Seeing that smile appeared on my face, but before that smile could bloom, it had wilted away as cracks began to spread into the curtain-like white-green formation. I tried to stop the cracks from spreading, but that did not help; the cracks continued to spread no matter what I did.

Bang!

The white-green curtain broke apart with a bang when the cracks have reached every corner of the curtain. After destroying it, a tsunami pa.s.sed through its torn shreds toward the core with nothing to stop it.

"The Core Is Mine!" The curse said in its echoing voice as it moved toward the core; in a second, it will reach the core, and I will be able to do nothing but watch.. I could not even explode my core as I had not gained control over it yet.
