Monster Integration

My sword moved against its punishment-like attack; there is no fear in my eyes against such a powerful attack instead of excitement.

Its attack is extremely powerful, so powerful that it shocked all those watching. Even the Grimm Monsters watching are shocked as they did not expect their leader would be this powerful, even I am slightly surprised by the power it had displayed.

Compared to blazing withering power, which had forced anyone to create a distance, I did not display any blaze. There is not even much intensity in it that people would assume it would be crushed in a single attack; hell, even the Lionman is thinking that.

It is extremely confident of its attack as it had been powered by its bloodline energy and lifeforce, but so am I, and it will know in a moment.

CLANNNG!

Our weapons clashed, and as they did, I felt tsunami-like energy coming at me before striking my armor while it looked at me with bloodshot eyes with great shock as blood trickled down from its eyes to ears before a tremor rang through its body, and it begins to take a steps backs.

Step Step Step

It continued to take the steps backs while trying to stop the momentum but failing repeatedly before finally succeeding after taking more than ten steps back.

"How?"

It asked in shock as it had stabilized itself, "You are intelligent enough to know the answer to that," I said and disappeared from my spot and appeared in front of it before attacking with every ounce of energy, now I had started on the offensive, there is no need to hold back on anything.

Seeing me appear in front of it, it forcefully calmed itself and moved its khopesh defensively, not letting me inside its defensive.

CLANNNNG!

Our weapons clashed, and it again began to step back, but this time, it was much more prepared for it, but the preparation did not give it any advantage other than putting a good defense against my attack.

CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG!

I did not give it any relief as it defended against my attack; I attacked it again and again. Not letting it stop, always keeping it busy with my attacks as I weaved it in my traps.

I could become even more lethal with my attacks, but I would not be able to give it much more than the relatively harmless would for at least a short time. So, instead of doing that, I held back a little, letting it believe it is defending against me and had some time before I could launch something fatal.

While I am intensely fighting against it, my teammates also not holding back; the women and Marla had been able to kill another Grimm Monsters, through they were injured that, those injuries would not affect them in a short time.

With them killing another Grimm Monster, the number of total Grimm monsters has been reduced to five, which lessened the pressure on them considerably.

They won't have to bear the pressure for long; in a minute or two, I would be able to finish with this Lionaman and would be able to help them in the battle.

Hun!

A minute had passed by, and I was tying some loose ends before I pulled the trap when suddenly, a feeling of forbearing washed up on me. It is very intense, so intense that I had only felt against fighting Violet Vidette.

At the same moment, I saw the eyes of Lionman twinkle with great rage and unwillingness, and a huge medallion appeared on its head, and my expressions have changed even further as I knew what it was and understood the danger it represented to my self.

I did not waste time thinking and burned my blood with 'Forth Boost.' And summoned my shields and poured all the power into the shield, this time, I did hold back on burning my essence; I burned it as much as I could, without care for the consequence.

It is quite immensely frustrating that I had to burn my essence less than an hour before I recovered from my previous essence burned. Though, I had understood the necessity and did not hold back on anything.

SUP!

"Human, you should be proud that is dying by a power of Grandmaster!" The Grey Mane Lionman said laughingly as medallion shone before a thin streak of dark grey energy came at me, which has the aura of Grandmaster.

'Absolute Protection!'

I said, and my silver shields with the design of scarlet roses on them lighted up, and phantom of beautiful scarlet rose materialized around me and the same moment, the thin dark grey streak of fearful power struct against my shields.

BANNNNG!

A deafening explosion rang out the moment streak crashed on my shield, and a powerful blow like never before struck across my body. My bones shattered, and my skin splintered from more places than I could count; it had instantly taken me to the death's door.

I wish I could say the worse is over, but it is not. The blow was just the half part of the attack while the other half, the humongous amount of energy, had lighted up the shields like never before, making everything blinding.

The strings are under the immense strange that they are showing the sign of splintering, but I couldn't bring to care myself about it as the energy had filled my own armor, which is not in its strongest state due to me summoning out shields, as they use a lot of strings from my armor for their creation.

Since the shields and my armor were connected, it had filled my armor too, and it had also lighted up like a sun as enormously powerful energy wanted to tear through and enter my body. I could not let that happen, as once energy breached my armor, I would be finished.

My condition is so precarious that even 1% of this energy would finish me off for good, and the damning thing is, I do not have anything that could save me from it; I have used all the cards I have in defending against the medallion.
