2806: Skal I

Skal I

"I will give you such a pain that will regret to ever born in the world," I said to it with gritted teeth and pulled back a half-eaten body toward me; it did not spot, just kept looking at me with a light smile on its face.

"Oh threats, how lovely; I hope you are powerful enough to keep them," it said with a smile as bloodline energy flared across its body and its swung its huge gemmed sword at me, with a speed of lightning and fitness that very few Grimms or humans of its age could manage.

This is Skal from White Foxman, or simply Foxman tribe; it is a scion, one of the most powerful Grimm tribes. The leader of their tribe sits in the coven and is one of the most powerful of Grand Lords, and this bastard in front of me is one of the top Grimms out there.

It is also very young, less than thirty years old, and has a core; it is also a Grandmaster, it is hiding that very well, but the moment I got my hands on a sample of its energy, the secrete got unraveled.

Still, defeating it wouldn't be easy because it had a core, and it came from a powerful bloodline, which gave it the power to fight against a High-Grandmaster despite being a Grandmaster. 

This bastard had killed our absolute peak High-Grandmaster a month before coming to this place, now it had been two months here, and I can't imagine how powerful it had become with all these boosts; I have to be very careful against this bastard, not let the emotions I am feeling affect my decision.

CLANG!

"You will soon know how true my threats are," I said as I defended against its attack, but that was just the beginning as, from the moment, its huge rapier became a blur.

I did not back down either; I moved my spear to clash against the coming bluer sword.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

My spear begins to clash against its sword, matching against each blow which is stronger than mine. These attacks are of it are not only powerful but also very skilled, especially the method it is using; not even many experiences High-Grandmaster predict its sword and its trajectory the white blur of swords.

Its moves became faster and stronger with maneuvers so complicated that I needed to activate a couple of ocular methods to see it clearly.

As time passed, it began to press on me, and my stance slowly shifted to defensive; I could have activated the bursts and so much wanted, but I decided to listen to the calm part of my brain and slowly shifted to the defensive. This way, I will be able to read its combat style more clearly and guard against any shifty move it dared to cast.

"You are a good human, but if it is all you have, then I am afraid you will die in the next second," it said as the white aura around flared and attacked.

This time, there were no complicated maneuvers or hidden illusions in its moves; it was just a simple slash that would hack me cleanly into two if I did not counter it.

'First Burst,'

I activated the first, and its power filled me as my aura burst out; the spear, which looked to break into two with clash, lit up and moved with such force and power that it made Foxman look cautiously.

CLANNG!

Our weapons clashed, and bent and broken trees around us simply turned into the dust by a shockwave, creating a clear ground in an instant.

"I knew you would not be disappointing," It said laughing, but I could clearly sense its bubbling killing intent hidden behind its eyes. Others might not be able to see, but I could taste it; my killing rule had reached such high that even Grand Lords wouldn't be able to hide it from me.

"Don't worry; I will not be disappointed," I said, and my eyes turned red as I released my killing intent at it; not full, just 25%, but it was still enough to shock its eyes and bring out that killing hidden behind its eyes, which is being clearly suppressed by me.

I really liked to blare my full killing intent at it, but that would be too risky; there is a chance it will recognize me and try to run away.

The Grimms have given the orders to those below Grand Lords to not engage with me unless they have the power of Grand Lord; they should not engage with me; this order had directly come from the mouth of the leader of the coven.

I have seen many powerful Grimms running away seeing my face, and once again, I had to use the mask to change my face.

"You must have killed a lot of us to have such a powerful killing intent," It said with gritted teeth, with its suppressed killing intent bursting out with a powerful will to kill.

"A lot of you, and you too, will soon join them," I said and flashed at its back and moved my spear toward its heart, but it had reacted instantly.

CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG`

"Small move," It said as it stopped my spear and next moment, swung its rapier at my neck, but I defended it immediately before directly appearing in front of its face and attacking, which it stopped.

Our weapons moved like a storm with such power and skills that a single miss would cost us gravely, and both of us are trying very hard for that; we are fighting, and even a single advantage moment would spell life and death for others.

Hun!

'Deal with it; I do not want any interference in the battle,' I said to Ashlyn when she saw another Grimm coming toward us.0

If this Grimm had been particularly powerful, I would have let it come, but it is not a, nor it has a bloodline. So, there is no need for me to deal with it.

So, I asked Ashlyn to deal with it, who is more than happy to do it.
