Monster Integration

Chapter 4150:  Shaman

'Why is he following me?'

I couldn't help but ask myself. I am curious because I know he wasn't in the compound when I was there.

He might have come when I entered the spot, but when I came, he wasn't there. So, I don't think it is about his noticing the forbidden power.

Even if he had used a different skin, I would have noticed him.

He might have one of the best stealth abilities I had seen, but he couldn't hide from me. I could see him better than I see most people.

In the past month. I have become powerful, but I don't think I have become powerful enough to fight someone like him.

It would be hard to survive fighting someone like him without revealing the core of my abilities.

I controlled my expressions and flew as I was, but changed my destination.

It is now the closest spot; to reach there, I would need at least an hour and forty minutes at this speed.

It would have been much faster. If I could surf the space, but I couldn't be because of the changes.

Still, I could hope that he would only follow me and wouldn't come to attack me.

He is maintaining a large distance from me. Most wouldn't be able to sense him following them at such a distance, but I didn't have any problem with it.

I could track his every movement.

This time, I didn't stop the soul waves, like I did the last time I saw him, but I had lowered the intensity of them.

I don't think he will discover them after my breakthrough with the Talaras constitution, but it didn't hurt to be careful against one strongest person before the Primes arrive.

Minutes passed, and I moved at a constant speed while keeping an eye on him.

There was no change, but I didn't let my guard down.

This man had killed a lot of people since coming to this realm. There are very few matches here, and even fewer could survive once he moves toward them.

Right, I have complete confidence in surviving, but as I said, that will make me reveal my abilities like my shield.

It is why, this time, I had made changes to my shields. In the next inheritance, they will be different; it will be hard to relate them to my current shields.

Ten more minutes passed, and he followed me without any change.

It made me feel more scared, and I wanted to burst out with my full power and run away as fast as I could, but I couldn't. He will catch me.

The chance of doing that will come, but I need to reach the spot first.

I would if he just kept following me without doing anything.

Hun!

I had just thought that when he suddenly increased his speed and came shooting toward me.

I didn't react at all for a couple of seconds before suddenly turning when he entered my range.

I desperately wanted to run away. Instead, I turned back confidently.

However, I summoned the saber to show that I was ready to deal with any threat the coming party posed toward me.

It didn't take him before my eyes, and he stopped.

"You didn't run away," he said. "Why would I?" I asked with a shrug. To that, he smiled. Th next moment, changes begin to appear on him, and within seconds, he reverted to his original body.

A shock appeared in my eyes, and I took a step back with fear. The fear is genuine; I was scared of this man and didn't want to fight him.

"Shaman of Irmatis," I said, with fear coming out with every word.

"Now, do you think you should have run away?" He asked with a grin. "Not that it would have helped you," he added.

"What do you want?" I asked, controlling the fear in my voice. "To sacrifice you, of course," He replied, and I took the step immediately before stopping.

"Why me? There are many others you could go after," I asked, and there was a surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect I would ask this question.

"You have stayed in that spot for over an hour. Very few manage that," he replied, and before I could say something about that.

He came at me with the ivory white sword.

His speed is fast, and his attack is powerful, so I didn't hesitate and harvested 75% of the burst.

CLANNG!

Our weapons clashed hard, and I shook before taking a step back.

There was no surprise, but the smile on his face widened, and he appeared to be behind me and attacked.

CLANNG!

I defended barely he appeared in front of me and attacked again. I defended before he moved and attacked.

His attacks are fast and graceful. In just a few attacks, I could tell that he was one of the best fighters I had ever fought. He is powerful, and he knows how to use that power at maximum efficiency.

I am not surprised to see that. If he didn't have at least that much, he wouldn't have earned such notoriety as he did around the world.

He is the most famous Sky Sovereign in the world besides that woman from Alkaz.

These two had fought many times, but she was never able to able to kill him.

CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG!

I pushed those thoughts and focused on his attacks. They are becoming faster and more predictable as the expressions on his face.

One moment, he is grinning, while another moment, he is looking at me with complete focus.

It is why I need to be alert at every second. Stretch this fight as much as possible. So, I will have a chance to survive.

Most importantly, keep things interesting.

If he got bored, he might use his real power, and I would be forced to use my measures.

That would be terrible. It is not something I desire to happen. I want to reveal those measures to someone like him only when I have a guarantee to kill them.
