"So, how long you felt following me?" it asked while looking at me with many methods active. "Since you were staring at the rubble," I replied without hesitation. "You did not look surprised?" I asked, and it smiled. "I had sensed you the moment you had entered my range." "You were able to follow me because I had let you," it said with a big smile on its face. 'You were able to sense me because I let you.' I thought. Of course, I had let it sense myself to make things a little interesting. "Why did you let me follow you?" I asked, and it sighed. "Simple, fighting outside wouldn't have been wise," "Those monsters aren't something I could deal with in my current strength," it replied and I couldn't help, but now. "It is a good space to fight," I said as I looked around. "It is, isn't it?" it replied with a grin before a powerful aura blasted from its body and came at me, with sharp, long metallic claws. They are also red. It is the first time I have seen the Snow Werewolf with red claws, most of them use black or white claws. Burst 75% I also moved, but unlike it, the aura did not blast out of my body, like it usually does. It is all silent. Even Snow Werewolf's soul-sense wrapped around me couldn't detect even the faintest aura. I could tell it made it a little confused before its expressions become serious. It is hard to stop the leakage of aura during the increase of power. Very few people could do it. Soon, we appeared next to each other and swung our weapons with the intention of killing and also testing. We are both aware it would be hard to kill each other with this power, but if we get a chance, we will not hesitate to take it. CLANG! Our weapons clashed, and the immense bloodline power came at me, wanting to turn me into a popsicle. There was no resistance to the energy, my armor had opened its doors and taken it inside. After that, it had disappeared forever. "You are not weak," it said. "You too are not too bad yourself either," I replied. "Killing you will be fun," it said, grinning, and a moment later, thick, icy blue phantom claws formed behind its claws. "Claws of Asdr!" it shouted and attacked. Seeing the power of the attack, I harnessed everything I could and swung my sword to attack. CLANG CLANG CLANG Our weapons clashed before I moved my sword to deal with the second claw and moved it again to deal with the first claw. It is attacking me with amazing speed. Not giving me even a moment of respite. It is also talented enough to guard its weakness well. So, I couldn't take advantage of my size and attack its weak spots. "Mind telling me, what is behind that door?" I asked as I defended against its attacks. There is a little chance it answers my question, but it never hurts to ask. "I don't know. I have found the key and map from the storage of Stone Ape tribe members and decided to check it out," it replied with surprising honesty. It didn't feel like a lie, but it could be. Some people are good at it. I am a good liar. "Thank you. I did not think you would answer that," I said, feeling genuinely grateful. Though not enough, that I wouldn't kill it. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 "It is the least I could do for delicious food. I am going to eat in a few minutes," it said, and there it is. "Or maybe it will be my sword in your chest," I said, and it smiled back, more brightly. "No, it won't be," it replied, and another burst of powerful aura came out of its body. It was a very powerful boost that I did not waste any time activating the burst. Burst 90%. "Ratl's Freeze," it shouted, and the massive bloodline energy filled its claws. So much, they felt like they were made of blood ice and radiating such cold that I could freeze if that claw so much touched my naked flesh. It attacked immediately, and I responded with the counter. CLANNG! Its blood snow claws clashed against my sword, attacking me with a massive amount of bloodline energy. It is so powerful, most Primary-III would get frozen by it. Still, no matter powerful it is, my armor will handle it and it did. It opened its doors and took the energy inside. "You fire elementals are always hard to deal with," it said and attacked again, with even more power. I countered it with each and every attack. No matter where it comes or how it comes, I dealt with it. Without letting a single attack hit me. Still, this Snow Werewolf is not something that would give up easily. It kept attacking me over and over, using more and more power. "You will have to do much better if you want to defeat me," I taunted and a spark of anger appeared in its eyes before they froze away and it kept attacking me, without stopping even for a moment. "You are right. This much is not enough to kill you. I will use my full power for that," it said and grinned before storm-like blasted out its body. Soon, a giant phantom of Snow Werewolf formed behind it. The oppressive aura coming from it is strong enough that I had stopped breathing for a moment. It stayed in the air for a moment before merging back into the body. Reinforcing the power. "Now it is time for you to die, human," it said and came at me, white snow crystals begin to form around it and over its body and claws, in less than a moment. It had covered it whole. "Snow burial," it shouted as it appeared in front of me and attacked. Burst 100% I did not hold back either and activated full power. It immediately spread through my veins, and I swung my sword. CLANNNG! My claw clashed against its crystal-covered claw, and instantly, the icy crystal covered my whole body, before I shot back like a rocket, with blood dripping from my lips. It instantly came after me and attacked again, with a grin on my face. The silvery fire covered me and began melting the crystal, and I moved my sword to defend myself. CLANNNG! I barely defend and once again, ice-covered me, and shot me back at even greater speed, but unlike before, I am prepared and fire covered me, and fiery yellow wings formed behind me to reduce my momentum. At the same time, I raised my moved my sword, to defend against another attack. This time something surprising happened. Instead of shooting back at an even greater speed, my speed reduced rapidly. Thud! Finally, I landed on the ground and immediately moved to defend against the attack. I defended, only taking two steps back. I could see a surprise in the Grimms' eyes, which then transformed to anger and this time instead of freezing it, it had channeled it into the attack against me. Sending me back two steps again.
