Chapter 2280 - Tastak I
"Grandmaster Tastak, I thought you were fighting at Remedy Fields," I said as lightning completely swallowed up by my s.h.i.+eld.
"I was fighting there, but when I heard about interesting prey such you have come to this place, I couldn"t help but come here," The lightning Cheetaman replied with a grin.
The one in front of me is Tastar, a Lightning Cheetaman famous for its speed and destructive lightning, and it is also a mid-Grandmaster cla.s.s powerhouse. It is also very good at running away, making it quite hard for even those who are substantially more powerful than it to kill it.
It is a little thin for a Grimm Monster but nearly nine meters tall with a yellow furry body that has streaks of yellow lighting dancing around it. Those small streaks of lightning are dangerous enough to turn even a powerful Master to ashes.
"You know Grandmaster Tastak, you are standing quite close to me. You should know, some of your friends have disappeared from the world doing that," I said with a smile, and the predatory grin on his lips disappeared instantly.
For a moment, alarm flashed into its eyes, and the ring behind it brightened up the intensity before it looked at me again, but this time, there was deep seriousness in it.
"It is not easy to make me disappear, Zaar." It said, trying to gain the lost ground over the conversation. "Many of your friends had said the same things before they disappeared for good," I said and stared at the ring behind it with greedy eyes.
I did not hide my emotions at all; I wanted that ring, and I will have. The spatial artifact is quite good, and just as I expected earlier, it will impede my strings.
While I was conversing with the Grimm, I have moved my string toward it and found the huge obstruction. The ring behind it affects the s.p.a.ce surrounding its body, diverting everything randomly.
The effect is far from powerful; it is so weak that even a regular Tyrant could breakfast spatial layer protecting it, but it is enough to manage to deal with my strings, which barely used any force when wrapping around the enemy.
I could not use the force despite I could as it would make my strings visible to the powerful senses of Grandmaster.
So, I want to wrap my strings around it, then I would have to make a way to melt my strings into my spatial current and pa.s.s through it without alerting the Grimm Monster or the artifact.
"Enough talking, Zaar; I want to see how long you survive with these little s.h.i.+elds of yours," It said, and thick yellow lightning formed on the metallic claw it was wearing, which came down on my s.h.i.+eld hard.
BAMMMM
Its claw struck again on my s.h.i.+eld, but this time with much greater power than before.
The attack was so powerful that it instantly covered my whole s.h.i.+elds, and that was just a beginning as moment, another claw stuck my s.h.i.+eld before they even finished dealing lightning of the lightning of first claws.
I did not wait for a moment and activated the defenses of my s.h.i.+eld at their full power, and as I did, the lightning covering the s.h.i.+elds rapidly began to increase.
Seeing that surprise couldn"t help but flash in the eyes of the Cheetaman, and it disappeared, and next moment, I saw it appear above me, trying to target above between my s.h.i.+elds.
BAMMMM!
My s.h.i.+elds moved smoothly and instantly covered the gap it was going to target before getting hit by another powerful attack of the claw.
The Grimm had disappeared again, and this time, it appeared behind me at extremely fast speed. If I had not been tracking it through the special skills, I would not have guessed it had even more from its spot.
The realistic afterimage of it is still above me and giving off an aura as if it is a real thing and not a side effect of the immense speed.
BAMMMM BAMMMM BAMMMM
I again filled the gap, and its claw landed on the s.h.i.+eld, covering them with further lightning before disappearing and attacking from another spot a moment later.
In a matter of a few seconds, it had launched over hundred attacks, and now my s.h.i.+elds and area around them are completely covered in the yellow lightning. The lightning was so dense that it had covered the gaps fully that people from outside could not see me from my s.h.i.+elds.
Under its constant attacks, even my most powerful defense has begun to feel the strain. The lightning is dangerously powerful that there was barely any early Grandmaster who could be able to defend against such power.
While I am fine right now, I would not be by the end of the minute if it continued to attack me like that. I would need to increase my defense power in some way, as this is not the strongest move this b.a.s.t.a.r.d has.
Two months ago, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d fought against Grandmaster Veronica, revealing all its power, and even though it had to run like a dead dog, it had revealed impressive strength, and if I compared that to it, then it is only using 30% of its power against me right now.
Seconds pa.s.sed by, and now the lightning around my s.h.i.+elds had become so thick that it had formed a cac.o.o.n of lightning, and it would crumble my s.h.i.+eld within the next three seconds if I did not do something.
"Hehe, your defensive ability is reaching the limit, Zaar. It won"t be long before my lightning swallows you whole," It said with a laugh, and it did not contain its voice at all; it had intentionally let it spread around the battlefield.
Its intentions are evident and show the result within a second, the crumbling spirit energy of the Grimm army begin to get its momentum back, and it won"t be long before their battle spirit energies regain the lost power.
