Chapter 4324 Ancestral Power White blazing lines appeared across its body, blazing in power that I had never felt before, but every cell of me hated it, and I wanted to destroy it. Ancestral Power. The Grimms can't comprehend the laws, but they have something that is equivalent to it in power, and like laws, the Grimms need to comprehend it. They could also increase it by sacrificing the power of laws from us. Gaining more ancestral power in return. The ancestral power is the power they have got from their progenitors: the abominations. It is power, that helps them go against the laws head-on. It should be handled with extreme care. Especially when dealing with the first time. "Human, you should feel honored to die under the power of our holy progenitors," it said before attacking me with the ancestral power. Merging with its energy, making its attack far stronger than before. Though it is the most basic use, the most dangerous is the erosion it causes to inheritance energies. The moment I touch it, it begins to erode them. The best way to deal with them is the law, but I don't have the power of the law. I have to deal with them with my own inheritance energy. It can be done, but one needs to have a suppressive edge over the Grimm. Which I don't have; the thing I have is the knowledge to change my inheritance energy according to my needs and the forbidden power. It scared me, but I needed to face it, and this Werewolf is better than other powerful Grimms, with ancestral power. That might come to this realm. Burst 90%. I activated the burst to 90%, and the massive power filled me. I channeled it toward the attack toward it. It had been over one and a half years since I had leveled up to Mid-Sky Sovereigns. Since then, I have learned to control my strength better and have increased it by practicing daily. There was not a single day. I had not practiced my methods. It increased my strength by quite a lot. I hope it will be enough for me to kill it with the other card I have. Yes, I want to kill it. Earlier, I only wanted to survive, but after feeling the energy, I wanted to kill it. I know it is the power affecting my mind. It has that effect. It is why I had asked my clones to make me run if they saw me fighting it without a chance of victory. I don't think I will lose; it will affect me that much, but I didn't want to take the chances. CLANNG! Our blades clashed, and I felt its power. It tore through the burning heat covering my sword and came at me fast like lightning before striking my armor. It was so different from the Grimm's energy, inheritance energy, monster energy, laws, and any other things I had experienced, and what it did horrify me. It happens with energy and law, but when it does. It seeped through the ways, I want them to seep through, but it is seeping inside through the ways I don't want it to seep through. Thank the gods; it had attacked me after merging it with the Grimm's energy. Suppose it had attacked me with pure ancestral power. It wouldn't have seeped inside me slowly as it is right now, but it would have gone inside directly without any resistance. I had prepared for such a scenario, with thousands of formations in my armor lit up. The runes in half of them changed, while the other half took them. The runes are changing on half of the formations because of the little data my clones have gained. All fourteen of my clones are working on dealing with it. They have merged themselves, forming four power clones and two normal clones, as three are needed to form the power clones. The runes absorbed it and moved to crush them as it does with the other energies and energies, but it could not crush them like energy and whittle them away like the laws. The only thing it was able to do was slow them down. Soon, the energies moved out of the formations and were quickly absorbed by the formations in which my clones had made the changes, but to my shock, they were not able to do anything other than slowing them. As it is happening, the first group of runes begins changing based on the data, and when the energies come out of the second group of formations, they are quickly absorbed by the first group. This time, a fraction of it, barely one of them was crushed. It gave me hope. It might look slow, but it was happening very fast. While it was happening, I was shooting back with the blood leaking out of my lips. The blood is real, but not the force I am moving back. The force of the attack was powerful enough to make me take one step back. Two a most, but not this. I am doing it to buy the time. The more time I will have, the greater the progress I will make in dealing with the energy inside me. It appeared in front of me fast and attacked once more, with even greater power than before. CLANNNG! I defended and shot back even faster while the second round of energy entered inside me. My clones have recognized what worked with it and improving the formations fast. At every round, the formations are dealing with more energy. Usually, when dealing with different types of energies. It is important to separate them and crush them with different formations. Here, I am doing the opposite thing. Here, the formation merges ancestral power with Grimm energy harder, pressing them into it till it becomes one. Because ancestral energy is extremely hard to deal with. Merging it thoroughly with the Grimm energy weakens it. Making it easier to whittle away its power. The ancestral energy is really terrible. Especially for me since I have crafted my own inheritance. If I had taken the other's inheritance, I would had defenses against it. I have it in my inheritance; I created it from the knowledge I got from books, but it isn't working. The forbidden energy powering them didn't make them work as they should have. CLANNG! I quickly pushed those thoughts away and moved my sword to defend against the attack. It brought more energy to my body, and I worried as the Werewolf attacked again. It is accumulating more energy into my body, and that is bad. My defenses could handle only so much. If it went beyond the limit, it could reach my body, which would be terrible.
