Chapter 3158 Sneak Attack
I could hear the sound of battle and waves of the energies were still coming, but they were far too weaker than the peak.
I am heavily injured. If I deactivate my armor now, one will see the blisters covering every inch of my body.
Even my eyes have made me blind.
It is bad and what makes it worse is that I am healing too slowly. The energies that attacked me were too powerful. It would take hours or even a day to heal those with healing formation.
I did not even think about the resources right now. My life is important. As for resources, I will get them as long as I am alive.
Over ten minutes have pa.s.sed, and I could still hear the battle, but it is very faint. So much so that I could not hear the sound waves without my methods.
The waves of energy have also become even weaker than before, which is helping me heal faster. These waves were the prime reason, my healing was so slow, they would destroy the healing energy as they enter me.
I am controlling this energy, sending it to the most vulnerable areas with a precise approach, which lets me use the minimum amount of energy, with maximum efficiency.
I have no other choice; I do not have unlimited resources to heal such injuries. I need to use every drop of it as efficiently as possible.
A little more than half an hour pa.s.sed when I suddenly, the battle stopped. I stopped sensing the energy fluctuations.
It could only mean one thing. That the battle had ended.
I never thought I would say such a thing, but I hope Reta won. If it was Grimm, then it would be bad.
A few minutes pa.s.sed, and I heard nothing. There was no sound. Not even of the monsters, which are usually quite loud as this time.
Seeing that, I couldn't help but feel relieved, but I did not relax. Nor I tried to move away from my spot. It is the best spot right now, I don't think, in my current state, I could hide my tracks.
This place is bathing with the energies of the battle, which is helping me hide my aura.
So, I stayed and focused my everything on healing as fast as possible.
Around half an hour pa.s.sed when suddenly I sensed the presence. They are quiet, but I could sense them.
They are Grimm, and they are coming toward me.
A little more than a minute pa.s.sed, and I saw the two Grimms. One is a Werewolf, while the other is a Bearman, with a body dark as night. Both of them are moving sneakily and talking in an isolation bubble.
I created a string of my soul sense and add a little rule-bending power in it, before moving toward two Grimms.
I am not doing that to snoop on them, but to know their level. Their stealth method is sealing everything good.
'quickly find a hiding spot as soon as possible. We were quite far away from the battle, but it had scared the h.e.l.l out of me.' I heard from the werewolf as my string breached their bubble.
'We would have died. If the battle had come toward us,' said Bearman shudderingly.
My heart started to beat wildly as I looked at Bearman. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d had a bloodline. It is a Mid-Primary III and is about as strong as the Bullman I had killed.
I want to kill it for its bloodline's essence. It will help me recover faster, but doing it is very dangerous given my state.
Not to mention, there are two Grimms, instead of one.
I thought for a moment before deciding to take a risk. My injuries are heavy enough that I will require more than a day to recover at this pace while strengthening energies from bloodline essence will make it much quicker.
The Grimms are powerful, and I have to kill the Bearman in a single strike.
If I had been at my peak, it wouldn't have been a problem, but I could not access my full power with my injury.
Since I decided, I readied myself and waited for them to come closer to me. With the speed they are moving, they should reach the closest to me in less than five seconds.
I hope they did not discover me. This shouldn't happen considering the energies of battle are still masking everything, but nothing could be said, I need to be prepared for everything.
Three seconds pa.s.sed, and they appeared closest to me.
Burst 100%.
I acted and activated the burst at 100%. As I did, a sharp pain spiked through my body. It was so painful that it brought tears to my eyes, and I wanted to scream.
I controlled the pain and moved.
I went fast as possible, crossing the seventeen meters of distance in what felt like an instant, without getting discovered by them.
It is only when I appeared behind them, did they discover me.
The first one to discover me was Bearman, the moment it discovered me, defensive methods appeared around it, and seeing that the werewolf had also become alert.
The Bearman reacted immediately, as it moved to turn toward me. While at the same time, a mace had appeared in its hand.
Puch!
"You Basta!"
It roared, but stopped mid-way as my sword pierced through its back into its heart, while it watched in shock.
It opened its mouth again, but before it could utter a word, it disappeared. Shocking the werewolf beside it.
"I will kill you!" It screamed and attacked me, with its violet claws.
Rip!
I could not dodge the attack, its claws grazed me. My armor had absorbed most of the force, while the claws only grace my skin, my few inches, giving me a bloodied wound across my shoulder.
Compared to the injuries, I had, it is nothing.
"You are next!" I said to the Werewolf grinningly. "You can dream," It countered and attacked again, with its full power.
CLANG!
I defended against its attack, shaking all over. Not because of the power of its attack, but the pain it caused me due to the physical shock.
My armor is still working fine and managed all the energy. It is a physical force that is always troublesome to deal with.
Still, there is no choice.
CLANG CLANG CLANG
It grinned, seeing me shuddering, and attacked again, I defended, shuddering like before and it again and again, while I continued to shudder in pain.
A few seconds later, a smile appeared on my pain-filled face.
The runes have come out, and they have started to spread across it. Within a few seconds, they will spread all over it and the harvest will begin.
After that, it will bring the energies that will help me deal with injuries. Till then, I will have to entertain this Grimm and bear the pain.
The Werewolf kept attacking me in frenzy. It wants to kill me, which is understandable, seeing I had killed its friend, while I could only defend myself.
If I had been at my peak, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d wouldn't have lasted more than five seconds in front of me, but now, I am fighting for my life against it.
Buzz!
Seconds pa.s.sed when another smile appeared on my face. The harvest had begun. A few minutes more, and I will kill this sp.a.w.n of abomination.
