Chapter 4031: Battle of Survival I

Finally, my body stopped taking the energy, and I walked out of the pool.

I have no intention of staying a moment longer. Seeing it what is happening with the pool.

She is absorbing the energies of Irvus Pool at an incredible.

Something that shouldn't be possible, but somehow it is happening, and I do not like it even a bit and would like to get away as soon as possible.

I stepped out of the pool and clothes appeared on my body. So has the armor.

I walked toward the exit door. Reaching it in a second, trying to open it, but it didn't open. Seeing that, I sighed when I looked carefully at the door.

'It needs a key,' I said with a sigh.

I do not have a key. I turned to Hayat, and she was still in the pool. Seeing that, I walked away from the door and sat down.

I will have to wait till Hayat wakes up.

I really don't want to, but there is no choice. So, I waited with my eyes on Hayat.

A minute pa.s.sed, and then another.

Soon, it had turned into an hour, but Hayat was still in the pool absorbing ma.s.sive energies.

Her body shouldn't have been able to take such energy, but she is doing it somehow.

I wish I could see. I am really curious. Unfortunately, I couldn't.

It was an hour and thirty-seven minutes after, I had come out. I felt the energies slowing down before finally stopping. A few seconds after that, she opened her eyes.

She got up without saying, anything and walked out of the pool.

There seemed to be something changed in her. Her eyes seemed to have grown more confident than before. Even her body language had changed.

She stepped out of the pool, and her clothes and then armor appeared on her.

She looked at me, and her lips curved a smile that raised all the hair on my body up, before walking toward the door and placing a key on it.

Click!

The door closed, and she walked out. Seeing that, I appeared by the door and stepped inside. Hun!

I stepped out, and immediately my mind shuddered and all the hair on my body stood.

I felt the danger that could kill me, and it was fast and powerful. I have fractions of seconds before it hits me.

BANG!

The force akin to a falling mountain crashed against me, or rather my s.h.i.+eld.

It's good that I had trusted my instinct and had been cautious. If I had not; this attack would have been the end of me.

It was so powerful that it made my s.h.i.+eld visible and made it brightly, while I took a step back with shock in my eyes. I am not the only one shocked.

"You defended it?" asked Hayat in shock. Looking at the s.h.i.+eld, before turning to me.

The shock in her eyes disappeared a moment later, and a big smile appeared on her face.

"Harvesting you is going to bring me a lot more benefits than I had thought," she said, and a grey aura thick as oil and heavy as a mountain burst out of her.

It was the most powerful aura, I had sensed. Powerful, than Sky Sovereign except for the Shaman.

She is extremely powerful. She wouldn't have any problem in defeating even Aros. She hadn't revealed such strength in the challenges of the castle.

Burst 90%.

I harnessed the 90% without hesitation. I had never felt such power as I am feeling right now.

Those nine challenges didn't directly grant me strength, but they didn't increase my strength effectively. Making me more powerful than I had been when I had taken a step through the pristine white door.

"I hope it had been a mistake. We could still go our separate ways as nothing happened," I said to her.

Usually, I love to fight, but she is giving me a very dangerous feeling.

My instincts are telling me. That I could die; I rather not fight such a battle. Especially against the opponent, which is giving me a strange feeling.

"It is no mistake. You will be absorbed and become a part of me," she said and attacked with her saber.

She is attacking with a single sabe, unlike the dual ones she had fought within the castle's challenges, and seeing the way, she is wielding it; it's clear, that she is a single-blade wilder. Her skills are much better than when she wielded the dual sabers, which she did with better skills than most Sky Sovereigns.

I reacted instantly, and a great sword appeared in my hand, and I moved to defend against her attack.

For this face, I had planned to use the halberd, but seeing I could not put myself against the slightest disadvantage against her, I decided to use the great sword.

It's my great sword in its shape and weight, the one I am most skilled in.

It's not the variants I used in other faces.

CLANNNG!

Her saber clashed against my sword. Creating sound so defeating that it would have to break the eardrums of most Sky Sovereigns if they had been closed.

The shockwave, on the other hand, turned everything into dust. Trees, stones, and even the buildings had turned to dust.

I looked at the light grey energy covering me. It is faint and dull, but extremely powerful.

So much so that it would have been covering the average Sky Sovereign. It would have brought them to their knees.

"Not a so much shake. It seemed like I am really lucky to catch you," she said and looked at me as if I was some kind of meat.

It felt unerring that all the hair on my body was raised again.

I wanted to run and hide in the abode, but that wouldn't be possible with her strength.

I don't think I could run away from her.
