Chapter 2020 - [Bonus ] Absolute Crushing

"Ready to die, human?" It had asked as the protective layer on it disappeared on its huge body; It did not give me a chance to answer and took a step toward me and directly appeared in front of me before swiping its claw at me. 

It had happened at a very fast speed, and if I did not have the Crown of Roses activated, I would not be caught a glimpse of attack but still, watching it happening and reacting to it are two completely different things.

It had appeared in front of me and swiped its claw; the claw is not its weapon but a natural body part, but it is more powerful than any weapon, especially when physical elemental lightning flashes on it. The stone lightning is creating powerful physical pressure that would even make a peak Master class Tyrant bend their knees.

This attack is now coming at me, and I move my sword with all my speed, hoping it will be able to reach the claw before it strikes me.

My sword was barely able to reach the defensive position and moved in front of the claw before crashing against it.

CLANNNG!

Its claws fell on my sword, and my eyes couldn't help but widen up; I had felt the huge physical force coming down on me. It is beyond what I had expected; the physical force is not the only thing that went beyond my expectation but also the physical lightning energy.

THUD THUD THUD!

The physical lightning had covered my whole body, and I had started to take one step back after another, trying to manage the momentum while the physical stone lightning was trying to drill inside me.

I had expected it to be powerful but not this powerful; the first attack of it is already this overwhelming; I wonder how powerful the other attacks of it would be. I had just thought that when I saw it disappear from my view and appear behind me and attack.

A sheer horror couldn't help but appear on my face as I realized there was no way I could stop this attack and activated multiple formations to lessen the blows.

CLANNNG!

Its claw directly hit my back, and I felt a huge amount of physical force crashing down on me with physical lightning. 

This counterforce from the other side had stopped me on my track, and my whole body shook internally. Even though nearly all the strength of the attack was defended by my armor, some of the momentum had affected me.

Though I had not been injured, it is a matter of time seeing how powerful its attacks are getting and how powerless I am to defend against them.

CLANNNG!

A fraction of seconds had passed when I had suffered the attack when it again appeared in front of me and attacked my chest, and like last time, I was unable to stop it despite seeing the attack. I did not have enough speed of moving my sword to defend.

I felt powerless as I could see its attacks coming; my sensory powers let me feel and know every movement of it clearly, but I could not do anything against them other than take the attacks.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!

It continued with its attacks, never stopping even a fraction of a second, and these consistent attacks are building great pressure on me. The physical lightning has accumulated in great quality, and currently, the ten thousand plus invisible whirlpools are doing fine, but they would not be for much longer if the attacks continued with this pace.

The Body refining art is really something far more powerful than I had thought it would be. This gigantification is extremly defensive, as defensive as my new defensive method, but even with it, I had been barely holding on against it.

GRIP!

"You really have tough skin, don't you?" The Stone Lightning Tigerman asked suddenly as it stopped in front of me, and before I could answer it, I saw its claw moving toward my head before gripping it tightly in its claws.

"Let me see how tough you are," It said and lifted me up effortlessly in the air before bringing me down with incredible speed. 

BANG!

A loud bang rang out as I hit hard on the floor; the blow was not that powerful, but the humiliation of being beaten down like that is quite searing. 

Till now, I used to be the one beating down my enemies this way but now, I am taking a beating, and it is being broadcast all around the world.

BANG BANG BANG

I did not let this humiliation affect me and moved my sword again to attack it but did not seem to have any mood to let me attack it as it lifted me again and crushed me against the floor, and this time, it did not take even second of break and continued lifting me and hitting me across the floor.

Puh Puh Puh!

My armor couldn't be able to block all the force, and finally, it shook my internal organs hard that I started vomiting with bits and pieces of internal organs. I did not let it know its attacks are affecting me and forcefully kept my aura stable as it continued to crash me on the floor.

"You are a really tough nut to crack!" It said as it stopped crashing me on the floor. There was no anger and frustration on its face when it said, and I know, the worse is coming, and I have to be ready to deal with it.

"Art of Alvas: Storm!"

It said, and the next moment, a horrendous amount of physical lightning came out of the body of Stone Lightning Tigerman before coming at me.

Within a second, my whole body got covered in an enormous amount of physical lightning, and every arc of it is now trying to drill inside me and tearing me apart.
