Chapter 2013 - Penta Roses

Dence lightning covered me like a coc.o.o.n, it is very thick and powerful, and tens of bolts are striking against me every second.

If I had wished, I could have easily been able to defend against this attack, but I did not. It may sound idiotic and dangerous, but I wanted to test my defenses with it, and I have to say, they have not disappointed me.

Thousands of runes across the strings of my strings lit up and formed a very complex formation that would make any attack that came in my way crush it before sending it into my core. It is much like my previous defensive system but also different.

The difference because it is now much more complex and powerful, could do things that my previous defense was incapable of doing.

Shoo Shoo Shoo

To test the defense further, I activated one of its functions. As I did, hundreds of small formations in complex defense formations lit up and formed hundreds of invisible swirls around my armor that began to suck away lightning, covering me at incredible speed that a second later, there was no lightning covering my armor; it had been all sucked away by my armor.

I was shocked to see its efficiency and power, and I am not the only one. The gloating smile on the face of the Stone Lightning Tigerman froze away before turning that of the shock, though it had straightened its expressions within a second, the damage is already done.

"You will have to try something stronger for next time; this attack of yours was like a touch of a feather," I said with a smile.

"If you want strong, I will give you strong," It said, and a powerful aura shot out of its body with arcs of yellow lighting weaving around it; they will create tiny explosions in the air.

"Might of Stone Lightning!" It shouted, and powerful lighting armor covered its body, taking its height to eleven meters. Its strength is now shuddering; no regular Master would be able to contend against this attack.

"Nice Move, let me show you mine," I said to it as its giant body appeared in front of me like it had been teleported. "First Boost!" I said, taking the name of my old move, but like my armor, it had also completely changed.

There is no change in my aura except for it being deeper while five palm-sized pink roses came out of me from behind me before silver and green vines were released from them and connected to five roses, forming a pentagon that floated behind me.

Even without looking, I know the floating rose pentagon looked amazing to me, but it is not for the show. It had many uses and made the 'First Boost' a little more encompa.s.sing than being just a boosting move, and for a moment, I even thought of changing its name to 'Penta Boost' but decided against that.

As the rose pentagon had appeared behind me, strength like never before flowed into my veins, but not a single speck had leaked outside as if there was no change at all.

With the powerful strength coursing through my veins and I swung my sword against the saber of the Tigerman, which had reached very close to my body, but my sword moved like an arrow and appeared before its saber before it could hack me into two.

Clang!

Defeaning sound rang out as our weapons clashed, and a vast shockwave released through the crash while a flood of lighting came at me, both through energy attack through the sword and direct lightning strikes.

This time, the defenses of my sword activated, and they have immediately crushed the 70% power of the energy attack despite it being infused with the will while the flood of lightning that came at me had never touched me.

Suddenly pink mist released from the Penta roses behind me, which covered my whole body, and as the thick bolt of lightning crashed against the mist, they crushed apart like the stone would be crushed under Warhammer before getting absorbed in my armor.

The eyes of Stone Lightning Tigerman couldn't help but pop up in surprise and anger seeing that. I would be too angry if my powerful attack got crushed in such away.

This was no ordinary attack; it was from the member of the royal tribe who had taken half step out of Master cla.s.s. To defend it again, I had to make tens of quick calculations and display the mist at perfect timing and in perfect amount to make it look like I had easily defended against it, but it was anything but easy.

The pink mist receded just as fast it had appeared, and I looked at Stone Lightning Tigerman with a smile. "You are a member of the royal tribe; show me some real power," I said in a teasing tone, which had made it even angrier than it already is.

"Snort!" It snorted instead of saying anything and attacking, and this time, its attack was much more powerful than before.

The lightning became thinner and radiating even more power; the hundreds of bolts of it are moving around its body like they have their own consciousness. It is without a doubt that it infused its lightning with consciousness which will make the attack much powerful, but I am ready to face it.

There is even a smile on my face; this Tigerman is undoubtedly the best opponent I could ask for to test my power. The only thing I have to do is remain careful; while it may look like I am beating it, it is not the case at all.

There is so much strength it had not shown, and when it let it all out, I will have to use every speck of energy I have to fight against it.. I hope it will not come to that; I am already making a plan where I would be able to defeat it with much less strength than I need to.
