"Clank Clank Clank...."

I swiftly take out my sword from its sheath and it clashed against all seven metallic vines that struck at me from all directions but that was just starting of their offense.

Clank Clank Clank …..

The metallic vines started to madly flail at me but no matter how much they tried they aren't able to counter my tight defense.

The power of these vines could be compared to the average Lieutenant stage but at the skill, they are being used is way above that and I am defending against this lieutenant stage attacks without using any Rule power.

If I did not have the huge fighting experience and skill, then I would have to use my strengthening skill at its limit and might as well have had to add little rule power in it to increase my speed but for now, I have no need to do that.

The Robot hadn't moved from its place, it's just stood there like a statue with only attacking me with its vines.

Fire Strike! Fire Strike! Fire Strike!

While clashing with seven metallic vines of tree man robot, I also launched an attack at it. Just that this attack contains 5% percent power of the Sunfire Rule, if I attacked normal firebolt or special firebolt with no ruling power, it would have made no effect on this Robot as this Robot have the power of the Lieutenant stage.

Ruby had told me not only I had to defend against the attack of Robots but I had to attack as well and my attacks have powerful and only then would I be able to gain more Combat Score.

As in real fight against the opponent, it did not matter how good you counter your enemy's attacks but how quickly you defeat and to defeat the opponent, one will need to have powerful offensive.

Fire Strike Fire Strike Fire Strike…..

Ting!

I again launched nine fire bolts with 5% power of Sunfire, by the time I launched my last bolt, one minute had been over and I felt a sudden increase of power from the metal vines.

Their strength and speed increased suddenly and their attacks have become even more skilled, it was a good thing I was ready and just have to increase my pace again to counter them.

Their speed and strength had increased but I am still able to maintain my pace without increasing the power of my skill.

The Treeman Robot hadn't moved from its spot but that's not surprising as from what I read, the robot didn't move from his spot of at least 6 th minutes.

For at least sixty minutes, it will keep attacking with its long-range attack and it will move only after the sixth minute was over.

Ruby said that Robot she had fought kept attacking her with energy beams for an 11 th minutes and only moved at 12 th suits.

In Seth's case, it was early but still, the robot moved from its spot at 8 th minutes, it is different for everyone but one thing is common that the Robot won't move from its place before 6 th minute.

Fire Strike, Fire Strike…..

I again launched the concentrated fire bolts but the power of Rule is increased in this attack from 5% to 10%, I plan to increase the Rule Power every minute by 5% till it reached Low level of Basic Stage as this is the maximum I've ever used in the fight.

Ting!

'Clank Clank Clank!...…

The third minute started and the power and skill of attack increased by 25% percent more and I finally started to feel the strain that I had to use the full power of my strengthening skill to feel at ease again.

Now two bands of dark Green could be seen on my hands and feet, that is the sign of me using full power my strengthening skill as well as of two Amethyst seals of Supreme Combat Exercise.

With second green band appearing on my body the power of my strengthening skill had increased and it, not simple increase of 1 time but three times as the first band could not able to use all the power of amethyst seals but with two bands together, they better able to utilize the power of amethyst seals in my both.

4 th minutes had started and its power had increased again but I did not feel anything, even when the 5th minute had started I did not feel that much heavy strain, only when 6 th minutes had started that's when I started to feel the strain of my combat.

At 6 th minutes, the power of Robot could be compared to reaching near peak Lieutenant stage and me barely able to counter its attacks with the power of my strengthening skill.

I wanted to merge the power of Rule in my skill to give its boots but I refrain myself from doing that, I wanted to test my limit and wanted to counter the power of this just with the power of my strengthening Skill.

Only when I challenge my limit, only then I will able to advance forward, only in such a pressured fight would my fighting skills would increase.

Beads of sweat could be seen on my body as I counter the seven metallic vines, one could tell just by looking at me how hard time I am having to defend against the metallic vines but despite having a hard time, I did not let any metallic vines hit my body.

As I kept defending against the vines, only then I noticed the true value of Body Cleansing Exercise.

If it was before, I would have started to feel a little soreness all over my body as I making such intense movement but now I now not feeling a shred of the soreness in my body, It is now working like a well-oiled machine.

The seven metallic vines are acting like they have a life of their own, striking at the different direction of my body like poisonous snakes, striking at the weakest point I produced.

I have to be very vigilant, not showing any weak points that it could exploit.

It was not for me having the good fighting skill and a flexible body that would not be strained no matter how unnatural movements I made

The seventh minute is coming closer and closer and I know at my current power I won't last more than three seconds in 7 th minute, to fight in the seventh minute I would have to increase my power otherwise my condition would become worse than a dead dog.

Finally, there is only one second remaining to the start of the seventh second, seeing that I infused 10% rule power in my strengthening skill, 5% percent would have been enough but I didn't want to take any chances.

I don't know now but if I didn't have infused 10% Rule power in my strengthening skill, I would have definitely regretted it.

Ting!

7th minute started and power of Treeman Robot as reached that of Peak Lieutenant stage that is very skilled in fighting, its power could be compared to the Super Elite of Lieutenant stage.

As the bell of the seventh Minuit rang, all seven metallic vines whipped at me, not only that the four metal tall Robot is coming at me with rocket speed with its big fist out.

Seeing that, now I really thank myself infusing 10% of rule power into my skill otherwise, I wouldn't be able to respond to the fist that about to strike me like a meteor.
