Chapter 4156: Fighting Prime II
CLANNNG!
The old man moved his sphere and defended against my attack, striking me with his spear.
The moment he launched it. I knew the attack was different, and it was different.
A fraction of a second later, a beam of energy came out of its tip and moved toward me.
The beam is powerful and fast but in reality. It is far more powerful than it is showing. It contains massive icy energies, which, even with his power, should have taken him at least a second to gather.
I moved my sword toward it while the grey fire burst out of it. Covering it.
Seeing that, his lips curved slightly unknowingly.
BANNNG!
My sword clashed against the beam, and a loud bang rang out, with massive ice-blue frost energy coming toward me like a blizzard with the power to freeze anything in its path.
Though before it could reach me. The grey flames moved toward it and spread over the blizzard.
They were not strong enough to stop it, but they did what I had expected them to do while I turned back and swung my sword again.
CLANNNG!
My sword clashed against his spear again, stopping his attack.
The frost is extremely cold, with the ability to freeze even the soul sense. I wanted to use that opportunity to finish me up.
"Nice attack, but useless."
"I had told you. An old bastard like you, who hadn't made any progress in centuries, could forget defeating me," I mocked while the blizzard fell on me.
The fire was able to whittle away quite a lot of its power, but not all. Still, it did the job. What remained is no threat to me.
There was no reply from him, and nor I could see him through the icy mist around us, but I didn't have to see him know where he was and the expression which he was looking at.
He attacked, and it was completely silent, but I could follow his every moment and raised my sword.
CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!
I defended the attack coming at me from above before moving my sword left and then right before launching my own attack, which it had defended.
He is silent, but I could feel the old man's anger through his attacks.
He wants to kill me and use every tactic, every type of attack he has, not using his full power.
'He likely knows about the one who was keeping his eyes on him,' I thought. I first thought he didn't, but his behavior is pointing toward him knowing.
If not, he would have used his full power to finish me off already, but till now, he has refrained from doing that.
Which is quite a dilemma for him. If he didn't use his full power, he would seem weak, the very thing he was trying to avoid.
From what I could see, the other Prime is more powerful than him. Not by much, but the other party is a stealth powerhouse. Dealing with them is always tricky.
I didn't say anything. Instead, I fought while all twelve of my clones watched and studied.
I am taking all the help I can get.
Though, I am not using what they are learning. It is not the time yet. I cannot let him know, I am learning about him far more than usual.
That will reduce my already low chances of killing him.
A minute passed, and then another, and then another. When I sensed the new prime, it didn't take him long to sense us, but she wasn't much interested in our battle.
After watching for a few seconds, she flew away.
"See, the way you are fighting. Even the Prime wasn't interested in watching," I said right after a flash of relief appeared in his eyes, seeing her leave.
"Shut up!" he said with gritted teeth.
I didn't say anything further other than grinning, which made him even angrier.
I could feel he was at his limit. It won't be long; he will use his full power. I want him to wait for it longer, but I also want the old man angrier.
Ten minutes passed, and we were still fighting.
The old man was using every trick under his sleeve, but not a single one was able to penetrate through my defenses.
I know very well it's not because of my skills and abilities but because he hasn't used his power yet. The moment he does, the real challenge will begin.
"You know, you should just stop. This fight had become pathetic. A mighty Prime like you hadn't even been able to bring a single injury on me,"
"If I had been in your place, I would have given up with shame already," I mocked and did it loudly enough that everyone could hear it.
There was no reply, but his eyes burned with rage like never before.
"Little bastard, you have made a grave mistake. If you just accepted defeat, you would have saved yourself a lot of pain, but now, it will be very painful for you."
"You will beg for death, and it will not come. I will torture you till the consciousness of yours lay broken beyond repair," he promised, and the aura as vast as sky burst out of him.
So powerful that it shook my very heart before it started beating wildly in excitement. The stakes were never so high for me.
There were always strings, shields, and other methods for me. Here, I can't use that because, at the moment, I did, and they realized what was happening, they would come to me with
everything they had.
They mean the second prime, along with this one.
I could escape from him if things become hard, but escaping from two Prims would be really
hard.
So, I need to kill him without revealing any of my identifying abilities.
Not only to save those two but also to save me because I have pushed the old man so far that,
he will not give up till he kills me.
Burst 100%.
