Chapter 3459 [Bonus ]Fighting High Earth-Sovereign II

I saw the spear and my expressions couldn't help but turn serious.

It is not a simple attack, but one that is capable of huge destruction. That grey energy covering the spear lightly seemed to have the properties of dissolution.

It is quite surprising and rare to see this energy in the level of inheritance he has.

Seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

Dealing with this High Sovereign won't be easy, but it is what I want. It had been a long while since I had fought a real battle.

CLANG!

My saber stopped its spear, and a grey energy flew through it, into my saber and I couldn't help but get shocked, because what reached me, is a tiny amount.

My saber had absorbed over 90% of the energy, leaving less than 10% of my armor to deal with.

It seemed like the upgrade I had gotten with my totem weapon was not as simple as I thought. This new absorption ability alone is worth the new upgrade, and I can tell there is more.

"So-so," I said, and his eyes flared in range.

"I will kill you," he roared, and dense grey energy flared across his spear and attacked me. On the way, the spear begins to divide itself and soon, I found hundreds of spears coming at me.

Seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

This is no simple attack, while only one of them is a real spear. Those phantoms contained powerful energies. Getting struck by them would be extremely dangerous, no matter, whether I want to test the durability of my armor.

Burst 15%.

I harnessed the power of burst, and it was huge, more than I had expected.

It would have been great if I had tested my power before fighting with an enemy like him, but it was fine. Battle is the best way to quickly test the power and get it under control.

The power was shocking, but it didn't stop me, and I moved my sword to the enemy.

Immediately, a surprise appeared on his face as he saw my saber was also multiplying and doing it at a much faster rate.

I had already noticed how smooth it had become to activate the moves, and these moves also work fast. Saving the precious micros seconds in their execution.

I had spent years creating the inheritance and worked really hard on it. Many times, even risked my life to get the data I needed.

My inheritance is very powerful, but what made it truly different from others, are inclusion of the ancient runes.

It made my inheritance terrifying. It is one of the reasons why I am standing and fighting against an experienced High Earth-Sovereign, despite being a Sovereign, who had just made a breakthrough.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

The phantom weapons clashed against one another and so are our real weapons.

Once again, a surprise appeared on his face, seeing my saber clas.h.i.+ng against his real spear instead of a phantom one.

He planned to use that opportunity to strike me, seeing how sneakily it filled his spear with a lot of power.

With my abilities, finding a spear isn't a problem. He would need to be really good, to hide such a thing from me, especially now after the breakthrough, where my abilities have grown stronger.

A large amount of forbidden power had merged with me, which is now letting me do things, which isn't possible for most people.

This forbidden power in me had let me harness more power from my inheritance without summoning my armor. If not for that, I wouldn't have been able to harness enough power to deal with two Mid Earth-Sovereigns.

It is difficult.

"You should stop using these testing moves to kill me. If you keep doing that, I might lose my patience and kill you," I taunted, making them even more angry.

The anger had only lasted for a moment before he started to calm down.

"You have quite a mouth," he said calmly and attacked again and this time the attack was even more powerful, that I used all the power I had harnessed.

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

Our weapons begin to clash fast and hard, but unlike before, he is calm. There is not even a fluctuation of anger in his face.

He had reigned all his emotions and now fighting the battle through the cold, calculated mind.

I could see him observing every attack and counterattack I did and trying different moves to test my fighting style.

The same thing I am doing to him.

Burst 25%.

I harnessed more power to deal with his increasingly powerful attacks. Every attack was more powerful than before, I needed to use more and more power to deal with them.

He is using all types of attacks from high energy to purely physical and in-between, testing my response to them.

I gave the same response to all, and it is frustrating him very much, but he is hiding it very well.

I don't mind what it is doing as it is benefitting me the most. He is giving me the widow to his abilities, and I am soaking it all in.

I must have had enough data on him before I moved to deal with him. He is not a young Sovereign, but a High-Earth Sovereign, with at least a century of experience.

I need to be careful in dealing with people like him; a wrong move and I will end up paying heavily.

I won't let that happen. My survival depends upon it and I won't joke about that.

Hun!

A few minutes pa.s.sed, and we kept fighting when suddenly, a change occurred. The grey dissolution energy, which was covering the spear like a flame, turned dense as liquid and spread across the spear.

At the same time, the speed of the spear more than quadrupled.

Burst 70%.

I harnessed more power to deal with the coming attack. It might not look much; it is an extremely powerful attack.

CLANNG!

I defended against it, felt a shock running through my arms and ma.s.sive desolation, energy moving toward me. 80% of which had been absorbed by my sword, while the 20% hit me.

The formations become a little bright to the energies inside, before breaking it and refining it.

"You had defended," he said, with clear frustration appearing in his calm eyes, and attacked again, with even more power.

I responded, before launching an attack on my own.

While I am mostly focused on the defense, I would launch an attack of my own, now and then. I am letting it think that it is him controlling the battle and all I could do is defend.

It is a nice strategy, this lets me access the enemies, without letting them suspect anything.

Burst 70%.

Seconds pa.s.sed and his attacks got stronger at a much faster rate than before. I harnessed the power further and used it to defend.

I had even started to take a step back and shake, to let him know that his attacks were working. If I don't give him something, he will be too alert.

I don't want that, for what I am doing.
