Slash! Another injury cut across my body, and it was too close to my chest; if it had been a few inches higher, I would have been in real danger. I wish I could say this is the first time I have received a such injury, not I did not; I have received such injuries more than ten times. The only reason I was able to avoid them was because of my armor. It had taken away a lot of momentum from the attacks and changed the directions instead of bluntly defending against them. Otherwise, in front of such huge weapons, I would have turned into minced meat. The injury begins to heal, but the videttes are already attacking, even such clone injury did not stop them, and Shael, they would continue till I am dead. "It must be a lot of straining to use, the moves for such a long time?" I asked as it burned me with lava and fire. "No, it is not; my comprehension is high; I could hold for quite long," it said with a relaxed smile. "No, you can't, seeing how desperately you are trying to kill me; you won't be able to hold on for long," I said, and immediately raging anger appeared in its eyes. "I think you need more pain if you could still run your mind to think about these things," it said, and even more lava and fire around me. "Quantity will not change, Shael; you have to bring it the heat if you truly want to hear me," I said, and its eyes lit up as if I had given it some great idea. Sup Sup Sup "I have a good idea," it said, and tens of red-hot pokers materialized in front of me before coming at me with a motion of its finger. Puch Puch Puch The red pokers pierce through me, including my head and my mouth. "Hehe!" I laugh with the poker in my mouth; it is already giving me all the pain it can and what these pokers could do is try to inflict psychological damage, but as long as my heart remained calm, I will be able to bear it too. Puch Puch Puch My laugh seemed to have been angering it as it sent out even more pokers; now, they have pierced nearly every part of my body. I truly wish it had not pierced my mouth as now, I could not speak, which is quite a shame. I would really like to talk to it; it will be one of the last Grimms; I will have contact after I finish, and I will massacre the bastards. I have already begun within my plan; the only thing I need to do before that is deal with these bastards. Outside, Shael, her copies, and three blood videttes are attacking me furiously, using every kind of move they have while I am defending. It was hard; every few seconds, I would get injured, and even Shael was able to injure me a couple of times. It is weaker than the videttes in convectional strength, but not much weaker. It was not only hiding the power of its grand art but also of its bloodline. It is powerful enough that it will be able to defend against the blood videttes without getting killed. If the Rhaek had made its move, it would have needed to use everything it had just to have a chance to kill it. It makes killing it very hard but not impossible, and I will do it; there is no option other than that. Hun! More than a minute had passed when suddenly a tiny smile flashed on my face; I had finally done it. Till now, I could see the outside with my connection with my clones, but now, I have drilled a tiny hole through this illusion and can watch outside on my own, and it is not the only thing I can do. With this, I could take control over my body again, but I do not do that; I let my clone fight while I did the other things. If I get control of my body, it will suspect something; I do not want to do that till I am finished. So, I let my clone fight it, suffer injuries, and sometimes get too close to fatal organs for my comfort. Crack Crack Crack "I think it is time to end it," I said with a poker in my mouth, which surprised me, but the next moment, a clear shock appeared in its eyes when the cracks began to appear all over the illusionary hellscape. "How?" It asked in shock, and all I did was smile. The Grand Arts are powerful, but they are not almighty; with enough effort, you could break through them, and I did. It tried to fix the cracks, but they were spreading faster than they were healing, and soon, they covered the whole illusionary space. There is not an inch that isn't covered in a crack. BANNNG! The world exploded into pieces, and I came into my body while all Shael and its copies froze; half of them had even disappeared, including those covering the blood videttes, making them reveal themselves. It had received the backlash, which is what I wanted. If I wanted to, I could have broken through a minute early, but I waited, make my preparation as such that I could give it a biggest shock possible. Its purpose is not only to get a backlash but something greater, which I have achieved; it was hard, but I finally did it. "You bastard, I will kill you!" said all the copies, and they came at me, including the three videttes, which again transformed into the copies of Shael and mixed among all the copies, making it very hard to know where they are. CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG My arms moved and began to clash with the power that had not been revealed on this battlefield. It surprised the Grimms, but it gave them pushed, with even greater power. 'Now!' I said, and three weapons moved; the spear, sword, and lance targeted the single copy, which was a real body, and they moved with speed that was far above my other weapons that were seeing that the eyes of Shael couldn't help but widened up. The speed and the power of the weapons are not dangerous, but what it couldn't sense, which is hidden so carefully. CLANNNG! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 It stopped the lance with its sword and moved it to defend against another attack but found it; its sword was moving at a much slower speed. Seeing, it did not waste any time in summoning the defensive method, including the ones from its Grand Art. BANG BANG BANG The sword and spear touched the first shields from the Grand Arts, but to its surprise, the shield weakened, and weapons pierced through them; the same thing happened to the second defensive method and the third one after that. "Bastard!" The three blood videttes screamed and tried to move toward the Foxwomen to help it, but they got swamped by the attacks that had stopped them in their tracks.
