Chapter 3002 All Down II
"You guys should leave," I said to them as the humans gathered around Rai and me, engaged with the suicidal Grimm.
"What about you?" asked Elina, "I will be fine and not without options," I said with a grin, and immediately, strings appeared around the Grimm, covering every inch of its body, slowing it down as it moved to defend against Rai.
"Go, but don"t turn off the essence burning; keep it very slow," I said, and formation came out of stabilized s.p.a.ce.
"Will you truly be fine?" asked the supreme commander, looking at me worriedly. "I will be fine; you guys just go," I said hurriedly.
There is no telling what Grimms would do, and I don"t want them to be caught up in it, as it will directly result in their death.
"Take care of yourself, Michael," said Ellen and stepped into the formation after her; others took a step inside one after another. The last one was Kevin, who gave me a look for a second before stepping into the formation.
Seeing all of them disappear, I finally took a sigh of relief.
The things here are far more dangerous than I had said, my core is shaking, and my strings are at breaking while I am trying my all to drill my strings inside it, not caring whether it discovers them or not.
We are far too much gone to worry about that; currently, the only thing I have to do is drill my strings inside it and have that b.a.s.t.a.r.d inside me.
While my core is shaking, it is subsiding very slowly, with Nero getting stronger with essence energy, which in turn reinforces the formation he is powering.
Everything is connected, and the collapse of a single thing will collapse it all.
I just hope before that happens, Rai finishes up the Grimm, which he is trying his all to do it.
I am helping him all I can; I am controlling his seals, so they cannot burst open and also slowing down the Grimm, considering at risk of my strings breaking, and now, all he had to do is to kill the b.a.s.t.a.r.d as soon as possible.
He is doing good, he had already started injuring the Grimm, but Yrak is good, at least defending, when its life is on the life, but it is clear its condition is getting worse.
A minute pa.s.sed by, and a smile appeared on my face; I have finally able to drill my string inside it, but my job was far from done.
I need to spread them inside before it tries something even more idiotic.
I am working fast as I can; I am handling the inside of the body while the clone is handling a more delicate close.
We are on a time limit; if it dared to burn its essence, then it might take the next step too, and there is no way I could stop it; if it does and gets successful, then Rai and I will be finished.
I don"t even know whether Pyramid will be able to bear it and what consequences the world will have.
Seconds pa.s.sed, and Rai launched attack after attack, pus.h.i.+ng it back and injuring it. His moves began to work as more and more injuries piled up on its body, and it was unable to heal them all in time.
It is not easy to heal from such injuries; the h.e.l.l dragon bloodline is extremely powerful, and on top of that, it is boosted by the mutation, the chaotic element that makes healing injuries extremely difficult.
BANNNNNNG!
Little more than two minutes pa.s.sed by when the Yrak crashed into the ground hard, creating an over hundred-meter-long crater.
If it had been anywhere else in the world, the crater would have been hundreds of miles, but here is this, over a hundred is already shocking enough.
Rai came down, but by that time, Yrak had gotten up.
Though it did not help as they clashed, it had to take a step back, which Rai used to give a big cut across its shoulder.
Yrak bore the injury and immediately moved to counter-attack, it had defended against it, but the next one had caught it once again.
Rai is doing good, but I am hoping he will do better; half of the time, he has already been pa.s.sed, and now, he has to finish the Grimms within two and half hours, or the mutation will come back.
Once it does, and he is in his current state; it will run rampant and turn him into an abomination.
I cleared myself of those thoughts and focused on my work; the sooner I finished, the sooner I would deal with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
Hun!
A few more seconds pa.s.sed when suddenly I noticed immense energy coming out of its core, and it began to s.h.i.+ne before suddenly blinking out and appearing in front of me.
"Micheal!"
Rai screamed as it tried to come to me while Yrak swiped its claws at me with a b.l.o.o.d.y satisfied smile on its face.
A horror couldn"t help but appear on my face as I realized the kind of predicament I am. Rai will not reach me in time, and also, this attack is not something I could defend against.
Hun!
"Is this my end?" I asked myself as I felt an invisible claw about to cut me apart when something had happened.
Ashlyn came out of me and shot toward the grinning Yrak; the horror on my face became even deeper.
The attack is too powerful, and I fear even Ashlyn wouldn"t be able to stop it and might do something which I will not be able to bear.
CLANNNNNNNNG!
I thought that when Ashlyn clashed against the claws, and to my utter surprise, I saw her clash and only pushed back a little.
Not only that, she had absorbed nearly all the power of the attack so that no shockwave would release.
It had shocked me, shocked the Yrak even further; the one chance it had to kill me had disappeared.
"Let"s die together!" it said with madness, and I felt it, trying to blast its core apart, and now it is my time to smile.
"It is not going to happen," I said, grinningly, the moment my string entered inside it. I have asked my clone to block the pathways to self-destruct.
I knew I would do it when things became desperate, and I was right in my decision.
PUCH!
"No!" It said in shock, and at the same moment, the spear had pierced through its chest, which filled it with horror and despair, but even in that, it tried to move its claws at me.
"You have lost," I said, and my strings covered it, and a moment later, it disappeared.
It would have taken a little longer if not for Rai destroying its defenses.
Though the core had remained unharmed, I had asked Rai not to touch it, and he did not.
"We did it," he said, grinningly. "Yes, we did," I replied, not caring about the intense shaking of my core.
I turned to Ashlyn and took her in my hands; she was injured, but not as much as expected. The boost from Grimms had increased her strength more than I had thought.
"Thank you," I said to her; she nodded with her little head and disappeared into my core, and I turned to Rai.
