CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNG Once again, all three of the fiery phantoms clashed against me, and I shook, but that is all that happened. I remained on my spot while fighting the three phantoms with twelve weapons. It is straining to control so many weapons under such a skillful and powerful enemy, but it is a challenge I desire because what I have learned today will help me defeat those truly powerful Grimms. They are true terrors, having very powerful bloodlines to a Grand Arts; one Grimms had frozen space apart with its grand art, even I might not be able to teleport through it if I get caught in it. "Try harder, Mazla; you are not even pushing me back now!" I said to the Fiery Lionman, who is looking at me with anger and frustration. My taunt did not work on it, as it still continued to attack me without bringing much change in the attack. It did not matter Mazla was not my target; I was just fighting; there were other Grimms that I wanted to kill. Hun! A few minutes passed when suddenly something happened in the west of the battlefield that immediately changed the expressions of all those who were fighting, especially of humans, as one of us had died. Since the war began, our five Grand Lords have died; first was the Lord of Glass, died in the siege led by Rhaek, the four after that were Grand Lords killed by me and Ashlyn; there is a sixth one I had killed inside the thing, but I am not counting that, as it is not the Grimm that had died in the battlefield. Now, the sixth one died, and it is from us humans; more will die in this battle, but I will make it Grimm that will die more. I could not save humans; the battlefield is too vast for that, and the enemy that is holding me is too strong, but I could kill them, and I will. "Do you see that Zaar, a human Grand Lord, is dead, and it won't be long before I add your name to that list," It said. "You can only dream, Mazla," I said back as I defended against its attacks. The human Grand Lord that had died was a new one that had appeared from the thing; it was one of few people whom I do not know personally. He was an old monster who was part of the secret force and only revealed himself when the thing opened. It grieved for him; he had achieved something very few humans were ever able to achieve, and before he could even enjoy the glory that came with it, it had died. With the death of the first Grand Lord, the environment of battle had changed; the attacks became even more intense, and many Grand Lords from both sides brought out their shields to defend against the powerful attacks coming toward them. I continued with defense, with an eye on the price. The death of humans had made them ecstatic, but the thing I will do will make them shriek in horror. More than ten minutes passed, and battles became even more intense; both Grimms and humans were suffering injuries but still fighting without stopping, even for a moment. I also did not stop, and now, I have succeeded. It is finally time to bring the Grimms to redemption. Rose Redemption I called out, and miles away, two Grimms felt the shudder running through their bodies; both Green Eyed Apeman and Stone Tooth Tigerman stopped in their tracks as Grimm with knowledge watched in horror as the roses bloomed across them. "ZAAAAR!" I heard the screams, and it was not Mazla that shouted, but also a few Grimms as their auras exploded. Half of the Grimms moved toward me while the other half went to stop the rose from blooming. The half that came toward me immediately stopped by the humans facing them, I had informed them what I was doing a moment before, so they were ready to act. It is the same for the Grimms that tried to stop the blooming; they will not succeed. I have chosen the Grimms, who have been far away from the most powerful Grand Lords. So, they will not be able to stop the rose from blooming, as those who are close enough to do anything. Even if they reached it on time, they were not strong enough to stop the rose from blooming. "Raelom's Fury!" "Tieris Cage!" Shouted the Mazla, and the huge fireball appeared above me at the same time; the fiery Mazla's attacking me stopped and transformed to pillars that formed a triangular prison. "Bring it on!" I said to Mazla as the roses bloomed despite the effort of the Grimms, and they disappeared before appearing directly in front of me. Seeing that, alarm flashed into the eyes of Mazla before turning into blinding rage like before as they disappeared, entering my core, where they were greeted by my clones. I, on the other hand, looked up and watched that huge fireball coming toward me at an extremely fast speed, bending the space at the move. It took it less than a second to appear over me, and I found out it was more powerful than I had imagined and bigger. BOOOOM! It effortlessly passed through my prison and clashed against my shields as they became visible, creating an extremely hot furnace that was so hot that even space began to melt away. 'Now Ashlyn!' I said to her, and she appeared behind the Gemscale Crockman while all the Grimms and humans focused on me; I did not even informed the Grand Lords about her attack, as they might give away. The Grimms noticed the attack and moved, but by the time their attacks reached her, she had disappeared, leaving the burning Grimms, who died by the time Shael had reached it. "ZAAAAR!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 The foxwomen screamed, and her scream contained such power that even my shields rattled by it; it was a good thing Lady Angela was there; she was the only person standing before me and my death. I am quite confident that she will be able to save me from the wrath of Foxwomen; she had promised me that, and I have no doubt she will be able to keep her word.
