Chapter 4325 Ready CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG! The attacks came one after another, increasing my ancestral energy. Every moment, I am processing it better, but that is not enough, considering the speed at which it is accumulating inside me. My clones are working as fast as they can, but seeing the fast speed of accumulation. They changed the strategy. One high clone moved toward the cover of the armor and started making changes to it, slowing the coming of the energy inside the armor. It gave me a small sigh of relief, but things are still worse, and they are getting worse. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 "You are the first one to stand against me so long without the power of the law," said the Werewolf as it appeared in front of me for another attack. "It's not that hard," I replied. Making a spark of anger appeared on his face for a moment. It didn't say anything but intensified its attacks. I defended while trying to by any second as the energy was accumulating. It has slowed down, but it is accumulating, which is bad. I wish I could send it to my core; the tree desires it, but I couldn't just send it. First, I would need to separate both energies, which is the opposite of what I am trying to achieve. On top of that, I need to mild it. So, it wouldn't kill me. It is not something I could do in this battle, nor do I want to. The only thing I am focused on right now is dealing with the energy coming at me. CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG! Seconds passed, and more energy accumulated till it had reached the limit. I am dealing with it faster, but also accumulating. That speed had become nearly equal, and as it was about a fraction close to the limit, it reached equilibrium. I am whittling it as much as I am gathering. It is worse than walking on the blade. Because once the scales are tipped; it would be terrible. I will injure me, leaving me weakened, giving it a chance to kill me. I want to use my full power. If I did, it would also do the same, making things bad from worse for me. Three and a half seconds passed. When the energy entered the second half of the runes once more, my eyes lit up immediately. These times, changes are working far better than imagined. They begin to whittle the energy fast, taking me further away from the limit. It made me relieved. A few more seconds passed when it suddenly stopped and looked at me. Seeing that, I didn't get a good feeling. "Since I gained the ancestral power, there had never been anyone without a law that forced me to use its full power," he stated. "You should feel honored by that," he added momentarily before a powerful aura came out of its body. That shook the space of the realm, making even stationary rifts move. At the same time, the lines of ancestral energy on its body brightened up. "Do you think this will help you?" I asked. Stopping suddenly from shooting back. It is staff for time; inside me, all the formation changes. The large amount of ancestral power mixed energy is going to come at me. Half and half won't work; I will need the full power of all the formations. I won't be able to make the changes. So, I hope what I have made till now will be able to hold back whatever comes at me. My sudden stopping surprised the Werewolf, but it quickly controlled its emotions and grinned. "Yes, it will," it replied, and its claws blazed with thick power that affected the space around them. Just seeing it sent a shudder through my heart. "Then come at me!" I challenged. Activating the full burst. I felt its massive power and hoped it would be enough to deal with it. "I am," it replied and came. Its speed was fast; it appeared in front of me like it had teleported and brought massive claws down. I responded immediately, with my sword blazing in a thick inheritance energy. CLANNNG! Its claws clashed against my sword, which sent a massive shockwave that rippled the space around us. The energy was massive, and it came at me. Tearing through the layers of heat. Given its expressions, it was fast, but not as fast as expected. I have made some changes in my inheritance energy, and it is working against better. Still, it took a fraction of seconds before it hit my armor, while I took the steps back to manage the power of the attack. The energy is powerful, but so is the physical impact of the attack. I vomited while the energy seeped inside me through my armor. The defenses are slowing down, but not too much. It entered my armor, and formation sucked it up as it appeared. That very moment, it appeared in front of me once more attacked. CLANNNG! It was more powerful, and I was barely able to stop myself from flying away, but I did vomit. Though, there is a small smile on my face. The formation is whittling the energy, while more is coming with the second attack and third that will come immediately; it had given me hope. Seeing that, I focused on the Werewolf, leaving the defense against the energy to my clones. There is nothing I could do about it other than hope that they will stop the energy from entering my body. If it does, the game is over for me. CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG! Its massive claw appeared in front of me, and I defended, moving back, but it attacked again and then another. This time, it's not waiting for even a fraction of a second. It is attacking immediately after it finishes the last. The only thing I could do was defend. I need to defend it till I am ready. Its attacks kept coming, more and more powerful, but I also got better at dealing with them. Especially when I saw my armor was dealing with its energy. It's not with efficiency I like, but I know it will protect me, and that is more than enough for me. A minute passed, and then another. Its attack continued, with anger appearing in its eyes. At first, they were only sparks, but slowly, they took over, turning into amber, which is now blazing. "Do you want to know something?" I asked through my bloodied mouth while defending against its attack. There was no reply—just another attack. "It is my first time dealing with the ancestral energy. I had heard so much about it, but it turned out of bed so-so," I replied without asking. He heard it as the anger in its eyes blazed brightly. "Maybe it's not the energy, but you who is so-so," I added, and that blazing anger burst out. Becoming the Grimm, I am so familiar with. "You wretched bastard, I will kill you!" It roared and attacked me with greater intensity and power. I thought it had reached its peak, but in its rage, it harnessed more power from within it. I defended. It's hard, with its increase in power, but I did. A few more minutes passed, and it was still attacking me with madness blazing in its eyes when finally, a smile appeared on my face. I am ready.
