Monster Integration

"Snort!"

The Stage monster snorted and came at me with crackling air, its speed so fast that I had barely got a chance to derive the counter against it.

CLANG!

My sword clashed against it and antlers again, and this time, I felt even more force than before, but this time, I had been prepared and only shook during the clash before responding with my attack.

This Stage Monster has given me quite a lot of raw power, and I will use it on a single attack. Now let's see if how it survives this attack.

My sword moves toward it with a swift speed which even Duke would find hard to track, but this monster moved back effortlessly without any panic before moving its lightning covered antlers toward my sword.

CLANG!

It quickly defended against my sword and before smoothly attacking me with its antlers. Its speed is amazing, so is ist instinct; it had used the force of counter to increase its antler's speed.

The runes inside me lit up, and I moved my sword at a breakneck speed that before it's antlers could skewer me.

CLANG!

We clashed again, and right after that, I launched another attack; it moved its neck like the last time, seeing it do that s smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

My sword and its anterls moved closer and closer and closer, and when there were only five inches of difference between my sword and its antlers, a red sheen appeared on the edges of my sword, and at the same time, a tricolor rose released from my chest and moved toward it.

Snort!

As my sword and tricolor rose about to touched its body, a loud snort came out of it, and at the same moment, thick burble lightning burst out of its body, fully covering it.

CLANG!

My sword clashed against thick lightning-filled antlers, and I felt like I bathed in the lightning. Its a good thing my Armor had sucked the lightning completely; otherwise, I would have turned to ash.

I still have to take a couple of steps back while my most powerful offensive turned to nothing.

The attack I had launched has a total of three attacks. The first was my sword with the power of Old Set and enchantment, the second was the 1st move of the Rose Domination, and the third was my Eldritched Sword Art, which I had activated right after seeing thick lightning covering its body.

I wanted to make use of its powerful energy to kill itself by making it explode from within, but it did not work; its powerful lightning had crushed the energy of Art immediately as it touched the lightning.

As for the Rose, the 1st move of rose domination, the monster took great care of it, enveloping the rose in thick lightning that even its incorporeal form was not able to pass through lightning care, that lightning cage even held on even when I made it explode.

One of my most potent attacking combinations was easily diffused by the Mid Level Duke monster, seeing that excited laugh couldn't help but came out of my mouth.

I had understood that this is the most challenging fight I am facing since Ive became a lord. I rarely used my killing combination in a fight, and every time it succeeded only to fail today.

Hell, not only it had not killed this Stag, it did not even injure it slightly. I had to take a step back in the attack, and now it came at me with its antlers thick with lightning.

This attack was potent; the lightning on its antlers is thick enough to make the antlers itself disappear, and now these antlers were coming at me.

I want to dodge the attack, and with my speed, I could dodge it barely, but I will not. Dodging will only prolong the fight. Two monsters have already got attracted to our fight, and Ashlyn is fighting them, and the longer the fight lasts, the more monster it will attract.

As antlers about to touch me, I summoned the Rose Cover and tri-colored petals came floating around me.

CLANG!

The lightning filled antlers crashed on My Rose Cover, and I felt as if the train had crashed over me. The thick lightning in antlers clashed against the rose petals covering me; it enveloped each petal to destroy it, but how can it be easy?

It is easy to diffuse the offensive skill of mine; one needs to be pretty strong but to null my defensive skill, forget it. It is a skill I use when my life in danger; how can I make it weak.

The petals under the lightning shone, and the next moment, they started to suck the lightning. The lightning is powerful, and it resisted, but their resistance became futile as it got wholly sucked inside.

After sucking all the lightning power, the tri-colored petals started to shine in power. Sucking the power of all the lightning had upped their power even greater than before, but it had also reached its limit.

It will not be able to suck more energy and only defend with what it has. With sucking all the energy, its power had reached quite high, that it would able to defend a couple of more attacks like this before it spent all the energy it had taken and suck new energy again.

It may seem like it took a few seconds, but it took less than a second, and now lightning on its much thinned own, my sword moved at it. It had moved when it clashed against the rose cover, and now it had reached its neck.

BANG!

When my sword was about to touch, thick lightning enveloped its neck and repelled my sword, which was powered by both of its enchantments.

'How much fucking power it has, from the start of the fight, lightning after lightning has come out of it without end.' I throught and immediately started on my next plan.
