"Don't be too hasty to judge native; I will kill you and it will be very painful," he replied and attacked with an even more powerful attack than before.

I moved my spear to defend, carefully watching those dark alabaster energies revolving around it.

CLANG!

My spear clashed against its saber, stopping it in its tracks, like the last time, but unlike the last time.

The energy around it moved and attacked me with its saber. It was fast, like a snake, and tore through my defenses. Though, despite all of its advantages, less than 50% of it was able to reach me.

As its energy hit me, my armor opened, taking all the bloodline energy inside.

Thousands of formations broke the energy, and refined it, before sending it to my runes, through an artificial channel.

This process used to be quite painful depending on bloodline energy, but in this breakthrough.

I have been able to do what I have been trying to do for years; I created the channel to send the refined bloodline energy to my runes to consume.

It is not painless, but a lot less risky than before.

I discard the unnecessary thoughts and focus on the second attack coming at me. It didn't waste even a second after the attack and attacked me again.

This time, the energy surrounding it, is three times denser. It is trying to hide it with a method, but to me, it is clear, and the burst to 80% immediately.

CLANNG!

I stopped its attack, and it glared.

"Try harder," I taunted, making it glared at me even more. Though the anger only lasted in its eyes for a moment, before it calmed down and attacked again.

CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG!

This time, too, it had increased its power, but not in large amounts as it had been before.

The increase was much less, the same was for the second attack and the attack after that. It is increasing its power in measured steps while trying different attacks on my weaknesses.

Seeing that, I removed all the distracting thoughts in my mind and focused solely on it.

This one could think with its brain, and it would be wise for me to do the same.

I wanted to kill the bastard, and I didn't want to do something that was jeopardizing.

I didn't change anything about me and continued defending. Increasing the power as it does and I could tell, my bland defending was irritating it.

It had tried using a different type of attack, and I responded with defense.

It is not like, I don't want to attack, I do very much. I also wanted to show off my attack to this bastard, but I controlled my emotions and focused on the defense only.

It is time for the defense; there will be time for offense, and I will attack, but currently, I need to continue with the defense.

"Mind telling what you all are doing in Oryg pass?" I asked. It is a place where a whole lot of Grimms have gathered. They seemed to be doing something there and nobody knows what.

It acted like it didn't hear me and continued with its attacks, while I had defended.

A few minutes passed, and it had stopped increasing the power of its attack for a couple of seconds, but it had not reached its limit.

It is holding quite a lot back.

I wanted to burst out with my full power and attack it, and there was some chance I might succeed. It wants me to do that, as it will also get a chance to kill me at that moment.

It is quite a gamble it is willing to make, but unfortunately for it, I am not going to take the bait.

Seven and a half minutes passed, and we fought without increasing even the slightest bit of power. I could tell it was angry and frustrated that I didn't take the bait.

A battle is like a game of chess. If one plans well enough and has good enough skill, then killing a stronger enemy is possible.

However, the difference between the two shouldn't be overwhelming. Then, despite all the skills in the world, it is very hard to beat such an opponent.

One can do barely anything against any enemy who could move much faster and a lot stronger than one.

I have gathered enough data that I wanted to start on the offensive, but I am waiting. I want to see how long it would be able to control itself from attacking me.

It is risky, but I am willing to wait at least a minute.

I had just thought that when it had come to me again, but unlike thousands of attacks before, this attack was much-much faster and stronger.

Burst 100%.

I went with my gut and activated my full power and used every bit of it.

I am confident this is the last second of the battle and I am going to kill it.

Shar Shar Shar

As it came at me, the heads of the phantom snake materialized around it. All of them hissed as they opened their mouth, before spewing out dense poisonous energy.

The poison was so dangerous that it had melted the trees and rocks around me, but I simply moved at it, without stopping.

I entered the poison and felt it attacking me from all sides.

My armor opened itself and began to refine the poison, while I appeared in front of the Grimm and swung my spear.

Our weapons moved closer and closer, till there were less than ten inches of distance remained between them when it grinned.

At the same time, all the dense poison around solidified, becoming strong as metal, restricting my movements and movements of my fear.

"As I had said to you, native, you will die and die horribly," it said, and its saber stopped an inch away from my chest.

At the tip of the saber, a dot begins to form. It is a pearl, with dense energy in it.

It is dark alabaster in color, with red lines on it.

"This is my strongest poison Jas deu. It will break your soul, while making every second last for an hour."

"Every minute you will be alive will be like days and you will feel the extreme pain for years before you die," it said with a bloody grin and moved its saber toward me.

The pearl of the tip was about to touch me, when something surprising happened.

The blade stopped.

At the same time, greenish smoke was released from it, which turned the solidified poison back into the mist, and I moved.

Though not before collecting the pearl of poison from the tip of its blade.

It is a treasure.

With that collected, I walked around the sword and appeared in front of its chest. I looked at eyes, which were filled with shock and horror.

"I wanted to finish the battle, the old-fashioned way, with our weapons, but you used the binding and since you did it, it is only fair, I used mine," I said with a hint of regret.

Puch!

It wanted to say something, but I just shook my head and attacked, piercing my spear into it.
