Chapter 2228 - Soul Grandmaster

BANG!

The huge staff of the Goatman crashed against my body. I felt like the whole mountain had crashed on me; it felt worse, with thousands of daggers attacking my soul continuously, trying to shred it apart.

To be honest, I could have dodged that attack if I wanted to, but that would have made me a target of Bullaman's attack, which is coming from behind. So, I decided to take it head-on while avoiding the attack of Bullman by inches.

As I had flown back like a rocket, I began to activate all my soul defenses. Most of them were not active, which I know is a mistake I will never repeat again.

As for the soul attack and staff that just hit me, they were unable to do anything to me despite striking it directly.

The first stage of mountain forge art had made my soul extremly pure and powerful. While the soul that attacked me is powerful, they were not even able to lay a scratch on my soul, aside from giving the pain.

The same went for its staff attack; the defensive way I had gone in this upgrade seemed to be a wide choice as, except for shock, I did not feel anything; my thick armor had bored it all.

They had underestimated me widely. If they had attacked me with their full power, they would have been able to injure me seriously and come really close to killing me; fortunately, they did not, thus losing the only chance to kill me.

As of now, I will not make the same mistake I made a second ago.

I stopped myself at a respectable distance, and as I did, I found both Goatman and Bullman appeared left and right of me, ready to attack at any moment.

"Reista, you should have attacked it with a stronger attack; it is not a place where we could take our sweet time in killing humans," Bullman said as an even more powerful aura blasted of it.

"I thought the attack would be enough to break its soul, but it seemed like I was wrong, don't worry; I will not make the same mistake," The Goatman said, and even a powerful aura blasted off it.

"Sorry to disappoint you, gentlemen, you will never be able to catch me off guard again," I said, and the power of the first boost activated inside me, and I felt vast as sea filling my body.

As the power of the first boost filled me, I did not waste any time and disappeared from my spot and appeared directly in front of th Goatman's face and attacked.

The Gaotman immediately got over its surprise, and translucent greyness appeared in its stone eyes again, and I felt thousands of daggers attacking my soul, and this attack was even more powerful than before.

"As I had said, you could only catch me off guard once, Grimm," I said with a laugh and attacked it with even greater power, not caring for a sword of Bullman that is coming from behind.

The soul attacks were powerful without doubt, but this time, they did not even touch my soul. My defenses crushed the soul attack before it had even touched my soul.

A surprise couldn't help but appear on its face seeing me remained completely unaffected, but it had recovered instantly as it had my sword to worry about, which has come very close to its face.

"Stone Sheild!"

It said, and a huge s.h.i.+eld made of Grey Stone materialized; the s.h.i.+eld is thick and made of powerful earth energy.

Ripppp!

My sword touched the s.h.i.+eld, and to the surprise of the Goatman, it began to rip through it. My sword had ripped half of its s.h.i.+eld before it had stopped, and I have disappeared from my spot to dodge the Bullman's attack.

"Frakr, it seemed like we have to get serious to kill this human," Said Goatman, and change began to appear in it. Grey stony lines across its armor begin to become translucent, and powerful soul energy begins to radiate out of it.

'As I had suspected,' I said to myself. It is practicing the soul art, and it is from its inheritance seeing how it had merged with it.

The Goatman had just released its power when Bullman also released earthshaking power. A clear phantom of regal Bullman had appeared behind it before it had merged with its body which began to vibrate s.p.a.ce around it.

"Now, let us see how long you can survive, human," The Goatman said in an echoing voice, and its stony translucent eyes shone at me.

"Soul-Crus.h.i.+ng Mountain!"

It shouted, and immediately I felt like I was getting crushed by the mountain. The attack was so powerful that even when my defenses had stopped it from touching my soul, I still felt like I was getting crushed by a mountain, and it had sort of froze me.

It is not due to the power of the soul attack, which I was able to defend but due to my inexperience against such attack.

"Cage of Alabaster!"

The Bullman shouted, and the air vibrated around me before I found myself in a huge cage made by the alabaster. The cage looked very powerful, harder to break than steel.

"Hehe, Human since I became Grandmaster, there are very few people that had been able to get out of my cage," The Bullman said with a laugh before placing his huge hands on the cage.

"Now die human, Alabaster Crus.h.!.+"

I shouted, and the cage began to shrink rapidly while getting more and more powerful as it got smaller and smaller.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I have no intentions to die yet," I said when the huge cage shrunk close to me.

'Second Boost!'

I activated, and its power had filled me; I had taken the risk of letting myself be captured.. I had accomplished what I have taken the risk, and now it is time to break out of it.
