Chapter 3348 Chase

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

The black arrows kept coming, and I kept defending. They are powerful, but I have kind of got used to them.

I needed to adjust my armor a little according to their ever-increasing power, which seemed to be reaching the limit.

"You should change your arrows. They are not even affecting me anymore," I said and defended against the arrows, before moving a couple of steps forward and stopping again to defend against another arrow.

It didn't say anything and simply nocked another arrow at me and released the string.

These arrows are powerful, but unlike before, they are not able to push me back. All they are doing now is making me shake faintly, and that would stop after I finished fine-tuning.

A few more seconds pa.s.sed, and I stopped shaking entirely despite the arrow's powers.

Fifteen more seconds pa.s.sed, and it finally stopped and looked at me. With those dark green eyes, which seemed to hold a storm of rage within them.

"Good. You had understood the futility of your attacks. Now, bring out the best stuff," I said and grinned, but a moment later, the grin on my face froze.

It took out another arrow; this one is simple. It had what looked like a metallic tip, a wooden shaft, and feather fletching.

"Nearly all the people against whom I had used these arrows have died," it stated, pointing the huge iron tip of the arrow at me.

"Well, let me tell you one thing; I am not going to be one of those people," I replied, and a small smile appeared on its face.

Rumble!

"We will see," it said with a smile and a release of the arrow, and I heard the rumbling sound. Like the herald before the storm came.

The giant arrow didn't release any power, but its speed. There is no way it hid from my eyes, despite the powerful soul cloak around, which made it feel like a normal arrow to one's soul sense.

I didn't waste any time thinking and harnessed all the power of the burst that I had been holding back and swung my sword.

The arrow appeared in front of me, and it took less than a second to do that.

CLANNNNG!

My sword clashed with the tip of a giant arrow, which was twice bigger than me, but I felt like my sword had clashed against the mountain itself.

Puh!????????.???

A large shockwave spread from the clash. At the same time, my body shook, and I vomited blood before rapidly starting to take steps back with my sword holding the arrow back.

I was barely able to stop myself from shooting down like a ragged doll and now, this arrow, which has been destroyed, is pus.h.i.+ng me back hard.

This arrow is not simple and if I didn't deal with this fast; I will die.

Hun!

I was just dealing with it when I saw the Grimm moving and a second and a half later, it launched another arrow.

Rumble!

It also made a rumbling sound as it came, and it is coming from a different angle, which means I will have to defend against it while holding this arrow.

'Well, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d had set quite a trap,' I thought.

Of course, it was a trap.

It had started with energy arrows and then used the black arrows, before using these really dangerous wooden arrows.

Defending against the previous arrows made me think. I will be able to defend these too and I am right. While it may have set a trap and one that is d.a.m.n good, I have made the preparation on my own.

I think you should take a look at

Seeing the arrow coming, I moved my sword to the surprise of Grimms, and the arrow sticking to it, moved with it.

It should have slid past my sword and come at me, but it had not.

How could it, when the invisible strings are binding it to my sword? The moment, I realized, the arrow hadn't exploded and pushed against me; I released the strings and bound it to my sword.

While these strings couldn't be compared to the ones I had in my native world. They are powerful enough to bind it, as long as it is touching my sword.

The second arrow took a fraction of a second to reach me before it clashed against my sword, or rather, the arrow sticking to it.

BANNNG!

The second arrow crashed against the first, with both of them exploding in a splintering mess.

The explosion was so powerful that the splinters were able to crush five of my defensive layers. If they had broken through the sixth one, they would have been able to hit my body.

I turned to it, expecting it to nock another arrow, but. It is looking at me.

"That was quite an attack. It had nearly killed me," I said, and its expression changed, but only slightly.

Though I could feel the raging storm in its eyes.

Second, pa.s.sed, and it kept looking at me. I didn't move and looked at it with a smile on my face.

"We will meet again," it said to surprise, and it broke into the run.

I may be surprised, but I followed it, and this time, I didn't hold back on my speed and begin to gain speed on it rapidly, surprising it.

It increased the speed further, and it was slightly greater than mine.

It was slowly beginning to increase the gap between us; it didn't slow down, even when we got out of the range of the stealth field.

It would be hard. If the b.a.s.t.a.r.d, able to get away. I would have no other way to use the other option to kill it. It is not something I want to use.

Buzz!

I was thinking that when the Grimm inside me had collapsed and a moment later, the strengthening energy released from my core.

When the thick energy entered inside me; my body and soul begin to swallow it hungrily.

My strength begins to increase, and my speed begins to get faster, little by little. Forty-seven seconds later; my speed had become equal to it; which surprised it but didn't slow it.

It didn't slow down when a monster came in front of it; it had just brought out its bow and shot an arrow.

A second later, a poor High Sovereign monster got killed. It didn't even collect the body. I did it; it was hog monster, the fire type; they are always tasty.

Every second, I am getting close to it, but I don't know whether I would be able to kill it or not.

We are doing a very dangerous thing. We are running openly with our full power and that was leaking power, despite we are trying to keep it contained.

It is doing it more than me.

Which is like honey for bears; the monsters keep coming. Till now, six have come, five for it, one for me; all of it had been killed by us in a single move.

Roar!

I had just thought that when a lion monster roared and came at me.

I didn't even glance at me, but a lance of dense energy formed over me, and a moment later, it released toward the monster.
