Chapter 2620: Retreat
Pachack!
Bastr used its blade and cut off half of its arm before the ice could spread further and looked toward the Grand Commander.
"You have to do more than that to defeat me, human," it said with the killing grim; while it had cut off its hands, it would not affect it much. It uses the sword with a single hand and right hand, which the hand that had been pierced by the lunar frost needle is a left hand.
"You are right; it is not enough to kill you," said Grand Commander, and hearing that, the grin on its face widened, but very next moment, its expressions froze and turned that of horror, and it began to move at the speed that I could not see, but I could feel it is coming toward me.
Puch Puch Puch!
The intense feeling of death welled up in my heart, but just as it had appeared, it had disappeared. It had stumped me on the spot.
BANNG!
Still, it was nothing compared to what I had seen next when the Bastr crashed in front of me. It now has nine holes in its body, from its bust to legs, and they are freezing it rapidly; in a few seconds, it will be completely covered in the lunar frost.
Seeing it, a deep shock couldn"t help but appear in my heart; I was so shocked that I wasn"t able to think for a moment.
This is Bastr of Scarlet Sand, a member of the Grimm coven and one of the most powerful being alive in the world. It is extremly hard for those below the Grand Lord to kill it, but Grand Commander did it, and she did it in less than a minute, with only the power of her Body.
"BASTR!"
Two defeaning screams rang out in unison; one is from futra, who is still dealing with the two lunar frost needles, while the other is much louder and more powerful; it is from Grimm Grand Lord.
To my surprise, both it and Lady Vivian had stopped fighting and now just looking at each other, before suddenly both of them disappeared from their spot.
BANNG!
The next moment, it appeared beside the Futra and destroyed the lunar frost needles with a single wave of its hand. As it did, a faint surprise flashed in its eyes, which had disappeared just as it appeared.
Lady Vivian had appeared at the same time as the Grand Commander, and now both sides were looking at each other, with Bastr and me as the center. Bastr hadn"t died yet, but it will soon; the frost has already covered more than 50% of its body and won"t take long to cover the rest, seeing how fast the frost is spreading.
"It seemed like it is time to retreat," said Lady Vivian and moved her hand, and I found myself moving toward her along with the rest of the frozen humans.
It is not just we who moved; the Grimms have also moved, including fast-freezing Futra, with the rest of Grimms, including its descended, who was still alive and fighting against the lunar frost; though its aura is quite weak, it won"t be able to survive for long without sufficient help.
"Lord Chaes, you could not let them get away after what these b.a.s.t.a.r.d humans did to Bastr," said Futra indignantly but closed its mouth, seeing the look in the Grand Lords" eyes.
"Best of luck, saving your sister, Grand Lord of humans; I don"t think she has much longer to live," said the Grimm Grandmaster with a grinning laugh; Lady Vivian just glared at it before a liquid mirror surface appeared in front of it, and all we went inside it.
Not that we have any choice, Lady Vivian"s energy has covered us and now taking us into the mirror; I am just thankful that she had covered her sister with her powerful mirror energies as the Grand Commander is still spewing out the lunar frost energy.
Seeing that, I couldn"t help but sigh from my core; my worse fear has come out; seeing how she is having a problem with controlling the lunar energy, it is very clear that the awakening of her body was not stable; the Grimm Grand Lord had already sensed that which is why it had said those words.
I sensed the Grimms disappearing behind me and could help but sigh inside my core; I would have liked it if we had killed all the Grimms, but with the presence of Grand Lord, it is likely to happen unless Lady Vivian is willing to sacrifice us all.
This mission is a success; we have not only killed the three High Grandmasters but also heavily injured many of them, including the member of the coven; given the injuries Bastr had suffered a fatal injury, I don"t think it will recover soon, even with all the resources in the world.
Their fort and the area surrounding them are in complete ruin; the fort was very strong but not strong enough to bear the shockwaves produced by the Grand Lords.
Very few forts have such capabilities.
Hun!
We pa.s.sed through the mirror and entered the s.p.a.ce sea, and through it, we began to travel very fast. The mirror energies protecting us tore through the spatial waves till we had stopped, and another liquid mirror surface appeared in front of her, and we began to pa.s.s through it.
Soon we appeared in one of the biggest teleportation formations I had ever seen; the hall we appeared in was empty aside from the projection of Lord Whitmore, who seemed to be waiting for us.
"Grand Lord,"
He said and bowed slightly to Lady Vivian; Lady Vivian just nodded before a great change appeared on her face. She suddenly looked very tired and nearly stumbled as she walked.
"As expected," I whispered.
It had been less than a week since she had gained the comprehension into the Grand Lord cla.s.s, and even if it is powerful grant art and she is a very gifted person, the powerhouse she fought was a true Grandmaster, with over a century worth of experience.
"Can you heal them?" Lady Vivian asked the question to her sister, to which Grand Commander shook her head. "I might make things worse if I touched their bodies," she replied with a guild welling up in her eyes.
"Don"t worry; I will deal with it after I seal this frost," said Lady Vivian and touched her body through the dense frosty energy coming out her body.
It is a good thing; she had powerful mirror energies covering her hand, or it would have frozen her hand too. This lunar frost is powerful enough to freeze the naked hand of the Grand Lord cla.s.s powerhouse.
She touched her back with her palm, and a second later, a dense runic formation appeared on the body of the Grand Commander. The runes are tiny; each ruin is the size of sand grain and looks like they are made of mirrors covering every part of Grand Commander, even her irises covered in the runic formation.
A moment later, the formation shone gently, and new lunar frost energy stopped coming out of her; at the same time, the runes began to suck the lunar frost energy, and within half a minute, all the frost energy had been absorbed by the runes before, and the gla.s.sy runes seeped back into her.
