Chapter 4034: Blood Burn II "You have committed a grave mistake by burning your blood. I will make sure you suffer great pain for it!" she roared at me with all the anger in the world and attacked. The saber moved silvery grey mist coming off it and reached me, in fractions of seconds. CLANNNNG! Her saber hit mine, and I felt the same power, and this time, it had sent me back, bloodied and broken. It's not like the power of my blood is weak, but the power, she had harnessed from that silvery grey hexagon is so great that even burning my blood isn't enough to fight equally. I am not bringing the full power of my blood, but even if I had. It wouldn't be enough to fight equally. So, I am only burning the amount of blood, I need. It will help me last longer and if I survive, then recover faster. CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG I was just thinking that, when she hit me with another attack and then another and then another, without wasting even a fraction of a second. I crash through tens of trees, walls, and boulders. Crushing through all of them. There is nothing in here that could stop me, and it is a good thing. If there is something hard enough to stop me, then the impact will be hard enough that it will break all the bones in my body. I do not want to suffer such a fate. Many bones in my body had already broken, and I didn't want to break more. I am using the blood energy to protect my bones and mend those that are already broken, but her attacks are so powerful that she is not letting that happen. Every attack from her would break the bones that started healing and break even more new ones. The only reason, I am even capable of my moving my sword is because I had covered them with the blood energy. It is what keeps me in the fight. Though, it's not pretty. I am feeling pain. That made me grit my teeth and brought tears through my eyes. Still, I didn't stop defending against her attacks. Stopping means dying, and I refused to die against someone like her. I would have accepted the death. If she hadn't been using that crystal. It is not her strength; she is borrowing the strength from it. I refuse to get defeated by someone like her. Who uses the borrowed power. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎 CLANNNNG! So once again, I moved my sword forward and defended against her attack. It sent me flying with blood coming out of my orifices. Bang! A fraction of a second later, I crashed against the small and crushed through it with its debris flying in all directions. Though it hadn't affected her at all. She came through the debris like a phantom, with only her silhouette and the silvery grey lines visible as she attacked me again with her saber. CLANNNNG! Her saber hit my sword, and this attack was especially powerful. It sent me back faster than ever before, and within a second, I broke through the two hills, before she came at me with another attack. Her attacks are getting powerful, as she is getting desperate. Yes, there is desperation in her eyes. She wants to kill me before she gets killed by the power. There are no other options because if she didn't kill me. She will have to run because she won't be able to handle the power for long. When she stops, it will leave her extremely weak. If I find her at that time. She would be as good as dead. So, she needed to kill me to absorb me, but also to save her own life, which made her even more dangerous than before. As of now, she will not stop at anything to kill me, and I do not have complete confidence to survive her powerful attacks. "You should just give up. It will save you a world of pain," she said with a strange echo releasing from her voice, making her look like the titans I had read about. "Says the person, who is just a step away from death," I replied, and she glared at me. "There will be no mercy, even when you beg for it," she said and attacked again. Pouring such power into her saber, that its blade had turned silvery grey. CLANNNNG! Her attack hit me hard. Breaking more bones in my hand and body while shooting me back at even greater speed and following me for another attack. Hun! This time, she did something different. This time, she appeared behind me. The runes reacted and used the power they absorbed, turning me fast. Breaking some more of the bones of my body in the process. CLANNNNG! I defended barely and heard cracking across my body as two forces clashed hard. She seemed to understand what was happening, and a smile appeared on her angry face whole silvery grey mist released from her mouth. It is now coming out not only from lines but also from her orifices. She looked really scary, and she attacked with scary intensity. She is not the one to waste any time, she saw the chance and now she is taking it. CLANNNNG! I sent back and broke the bones of my body to the collapsing limit. I have reached my limit. If I take any more of her attacks. It will, I won't be capable of even raising my sword. It will be the end of me. I looked at her as she came at me with a grin on her face. She also sensed that I had reached my limit, and her attack would be the finishing one. "Die!" she said and swung her saber for the last time. I looked at the attack and sighed internally. I would have preferred if I had got half a minute more, but now I will have to do with what I have and I did. I pulled the strings.
