Chapter 2607: Duggad Mode "Charge!" The Apeman roared, and the thick lighting burst out of its body and shot through the hammer into the snake, which was trying all with its might but was not able to spread the cracks further; they now even began to recede very slowly. I could make them heal faster, but I did not; I let them heal at natural speed with their energy and my growing strength, which is also strengthening them, as they are an integral part of me. BANG! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 The lightning struck the snake, and it began to absorb it, and the more it absorbed, the more it glowed, and the stronger its aura would become. SHAAAR! The snake roared, and while its roar felt soft, it was deafening to hear and made all the hair on my body stand up. It began to apply more power to crush my shields, but despite the constant power from the Apeman and dramatic increase in strength, it wasn't able to do anything against my shields. Instead, the healing of the cracks has become faster as the more strengthening energy I absorb. I could not believe the amount of strengthening energy coming into my body; it was unbelievable. The strengthening they are providing is simply shocking; what is more shocking is the changes that are happening inside my core. The resources are growing at a speed that is simply shocking even to me; the new seeds I had planted had already reached the level Tyrant level in less than a minute; the growth is simply shocking. The two Lizardmen were slightly above my grade, but I was able to take both of them, and now, I am getting a reward for it, and it is better than I dreamed. The most wonderful among all is the growth of the stainless blood soul lotuses; these plants grow extremly slowly, but now they are growing at visible speed; I am confident that all seven of them would reach the Tyrant stage and even be able to reach higher classes. Aside from the original seen, the others I had placed had already begun to bloom; it is clear without doubt that all of them will bloom, and they will reach a good level before this grown energy is spent. I need them to grow fast and reach a high level as soon as possible. From now on, their demand will be even higher, and I would need to plant even more of them, but currently, I am refraining from doing that because these lotuses are not the only resources I am growing. While they are undeniably important, I need the growth energy for the other resources as well. I can't let stainless lotuses hog all the growth energy there is. More than half the cracks have been healed, and the rest are healing rapidly despite the Grimm pouring an immense amount of power into the snake. I am quite surprised by the amount of power the Apeman is pouring inside the snake, and it is not even its full power. The bastard is extremly powerful; the strength its core is providing is amazing. I couldn't help but shudder when I thought about it. Earlier, I stood no chance against it, but now, I have some. Even now, with this powerful strengthening energy roaring inside me, I am not so confident about killing it, but I am sure as hell going to try. Killing the host of core is a huge, huge accomplishment; they are the ones with great potential and a real chance to reach the class of Grand Lord, and with the kind of changes that are happening within the Grimms; their chances of reaching the class of Grand Lord had increased even further. Finally, all the cracks on my shields disappeared, seeing that the Apeman had also stopped offering more power to the snake. "Come," said the Apeman, and the snake flew toward it before seeping inside it through its chest. "You are a great actor, Zaar, even making me believe you have reached your limit," It said; its tone was conversation, but the emotions inside it were raging. Anyone would shudder, just hearing the voice, and would take a step back, seeing the raging anger in its eyes. "You have trampled on my pride with your joke, and you will pay the price for it," It said, and all the sparks of lighting covering its body disappeared, and so is its aura. Now, if one did not look at its ranging eye, it almost looked like a regular Grandmaster. "Dugadd Mode!" It shouted, and the yellow lightning lines began to spread across its body; those lightning bolt designs covered its whole body before they began to fill with the lightning energy, which was so thick that it began to feel like it was liquid lightning. It might felt like a long time, but it had only taken a second, and in the second, it had gone through a complete transformation. There was no aura coming out of it, but I couldn't help but shudder looking at it. It began to radiate the invisible weight that would push even the Grandmasters of absolute peak to their knees, and even some High-Grandmasters would find their knees shaking. "Now, let me see how your mighty shield defends against this blow of mine," It said with a silent grin and disappeared from its place. Looking at its speed, my eyes couldn't help but widen before my lips curved in a smile. My shields disappeared, and my sword began to move up. I wanted to wait till all the strengthening energy merged with me, but seeing such mighty power, I just couldn't resist. It appeared in front of me, and when it, its hammer had already reached halfway, reaching me; seeing the power and speed of the hammer, the smile on my face couldn't help but brighten up further. I harnessed all the power of the third boost and swung my sword toward the hammer, which looked like a comet that was coming to destroy the world. CLANNNG! My sword clashed against the mighty hammer, and the moment it did, I shook from top to bottom while heavy energy assaulted me. They reached my armor in an instant and began to drill inside me. Thud Thud Thud I did not have time to care about the energy; the sheer raw strength of the attack was so much that it had sent me back with the heavy steps and surprised looked in the eyes. It is not an attack from the Inheritance but from the art. Though it had used the Inheritance energy in it, and seeing how it had used, lit up my mind. The problem I had been having solved in an instant, and runes began to move inside me. "Surprised, Zaar? This is the power of the Duggad mode, and I am only scratching on the surface," it said and came at me; the weight from it increased, and I understood it was truly barely using any power in the last attack, while this one had something. I should have been scared seeing such a powerful attack coming at me, but I found myself laughing, and there was even great anticipation in my mind. It is not the only one who had the moves from the art; I have them too, and thanks to it, I have even been able to solve the great mystery. Now, I could truly use those moves, and their power will not be hollow anymore.
