Till now, I have avoided water like a plague, not only in this battle, but also in every battle. Not wanting to go against the water elementals in their domain.
Now, I planned to go there, and I have already asked my clones to start.
What I am planning to do is extremely dangerous. I am taking it to its domain, but there is no other choice. It is this or getting popped up like a balloon and I refused it.
I will not wait for my death.
With the plan made, I did not waste any time acting on it. Though I have to be careful, it shouldn't suspect that I am leading it to the water.
The faintest suspicion and everything will fail.
CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG
It continued to attack me and, like before, I would intentionally avoid moving toward the water and it will try to send me toward it.
Till now, I had prevailed, but as it had been expected. There will be a time when I will fail, and that time is now.
CLANNNNG!
It attacked with the strongest attack till now and we clashed. It was powerful, and I did resist, except for the show, before shooting back like a broken doll.
I could see the smile appearing on its face as it followed me, while the Grimms and Humans separated to avoid cras.h.i.+ng into me. Even those humans who wanted to save me couldn't do it, in fear of their enemy taking advantage of that moment.
It took me a little more than a second to reach the lake and it is raging, like a sea in a powerful storm.
There are tens of thousands of people fighting over the giant lake; all of them were Primary-III.
It is already a miracle that not all the water had disappeared from the lake.
If it had been a normal lake, it would have happened a long ago, but this lake is not normal.
It is deep and its water is packed densely with the water elemental energy. It is also quite dense, so much so that if Primary-I tried to swim in it; they would drown to death.
BANNNNG!
As I reached the lake, I clashed against the enormous wave of water created by some attack or shockwave and seeped inside it. The deeper I go the more force it would absorb and soon; it absorbed everything.
The moment that happened, I swam down toward the lake.
The Chimpman saw my efforts and slowed down intentionally while a mocking smile appeared on its face.
I entered the latter and swam a few meters down when it finally entered the lake and came toward me.
Water is its domain, and despite being dense and thick with this energy. It moved fast, faster than it had moved in the air.
I took only a moment, for it appeared in front of me and a serene expression appeared on its face.
"The water is holy and for a dirty human. It will be an honorable place to die," it said, and its aura bloomed, like never before.
This time, it is not playing around. It wants to kill me, and this is a killing strike.
A small smile leaked from its fake, serene face and brought down its club toward me.
The water did not stop the club, instead, it increased its speed, so that it fractions of seconds to reach me, before touching my head.
PUCH!
The smile on its face widened up, but the very next moment. That smile froze and a powerful aura begin to explode out of its body, but before it could fully come out, a wet sound rang, freezing the blooming aura, along with the Grimm.
A second later, the Chimpan had disappeared in my core, and I took a sigh of relief.
I was lucky that the Grimm had underestimated me. If it had been alert like it would have been against the powerful enemy. It would have fallen for this trick.
Yes, I killed it through the glorified trick.
What I did is very simple. I had created an illusion of myself with aura and everything, while at the same time releasing the special energies that would mask me.
I had never been to a place I was showing. So, when the Chimpman appeared in front of the illusion and wasted time talking. I appeared behind it and attacked.
It had only sensed me when my sword touched its back and that time; it had become too late.
It was very hard, and I only had less than a second. Those energies and my method linking with it had made me invisible to its soul sense for a fraction of a second.
If I had been late, it would have discovered me, my exploded pieces would have floated in the lake.
I need to get the h.e.l.l away from this lake as soon as possible. While I was able to kill the Grimm, in its domain; it was only because the b.a.s.t.a.r.d was too careless against me. The other Grimms wouldn't make that same mistake.
"Die!"
I had reached the top of the lake when a Crockman appeared and swing down its blade.
I don't know why these weaklings think they could kill me. I had noticed too many targets around me, right after I finished some powerful enemy.
Like they want to prove something, killing someone who had killed someone stronger than them.
Puch!
Its sword hadn't reached halfway, when I disappeared from my place and appeared in front of it, before piercing my sword inside its chest.
At least this one had a bloodline.
I might not have power, or a const.i.tution related to water, but I could move faster than those in my condition. I am an average powerhouse of water elements.
Soon, I got out of the water and immediately saw the Werewolf, looking around. I appeared behind it and killed it; I had also taken the body of the Wolf Beastman. It had killed a second ago.
I am still injured, but healing fast.
For a moment, I thought about pa.s.sing the time with the Werewolf till all my injuries were healed, but decided against it.
My injuries might be heavy, but I can still use nearly all my strength. Not to mention, they are healing rapidly, as long as I did not get more injuries for the next few minutes. I will be able to heal from most of the injuries.
I think I can manage that with a little luck.
Hun!
A few seconds pa.s.sed when a lizardman with a black scale and impressive stealth method appeared behind me silently and attacked.
CLANNNG!
I reacted immediately and defended against the attack; I couldn't help but surprise by it.
While its stealth ability is very good. It needs to be better if it wants to enter my immediate range without me noticing.
The surprise disappeared as it appeared and it attacked again, while I moved to defend.
We begin to fight earnestly and for the first time in a while silently, making no noise from our mouths, letting only our blades talk.
Hun!
A couple of seconds pa.s.sed, and we kept increasing our power with each attack when suddenly my eyes widened and a surprise appeared in my eyes.
Something surprising had happened in my core.
