Chapter 2165 - Petal

CLANNG!

Its powerful claw struck on my defensive method, and it shook uncontrollably but did not break away at all, seeing that I couldn't help but take a sigh of relief. For a moment, I feared, it wouldn't be able to last against such a powerful attack at all.

At the same time, its claw clashed against my defense; Neela's needle had finally pierced through the defense and touched its skin which seemed to irritate it even its failure to crush my defenses against the single attack.

"Scram!"

It seemed to be more irritated than I had thought as it moved its claw, attacking Neela at blurring speed.

Bang!

The back of the claw stuck Neela like a hammer and flew away like a broken kite while the Steelfur Houndaman attacked me with even more power than before, wanting to crush my defense at any price.

I took a glance at Neela before focusing on my defense; while the blow was powerful enough to kill a regular leader but it will not do anything to Neela.

In my battle against Neela, Lord Micheal had asked me to attack her as if I wanted to kill her. I was uncomfortable with the order, but I followed the order knowing, even if my attack had taken her to the death's door, Lord Micheal would brough her back; he is Grandmaster of healing after all.

That battle, I had stuck a powerful blow at her fatal point and thought I had killed her, but to my extreme surprise, I have only given her a light injury; it only took her a second to get up.

She was quite shocked by that fact as she knew her defensive method was powerful to defend against my attack, and she did not have a strong body; her body was even weaker than mine, but she was still able to bear the attack without any serious injury.

I still am not able to guess she did it, and I did not ask her. It is related to her core secretes; such secrets could not be shared with others, no matter how they are.

A week ago, I would have said I had some secrets about my power that nobody but me knows, but now I could not say that thing at all. Within a week, Lord Micheal knows more about me than myself.

CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG

Its claw attacked, and my defense shook again, but it held on, but that was just a beginning as it had attacked again and then again with an immensely powerful attack.

CLANG clang

It had continued for ten some seconds when suddenly the speed of its attack reduced and along with its power, but it was nothing compared to the attack that came next; it was so weak weakest leader would be able to stop it.

It had stopped attacking and looked at Neela, who had got up and now sitting on a broken tree on which she had crashed into. She looked casual, without care for the world; even when Houndman looked at her, she did not show any fear; instead, she gave it a sweet, harmless smile.

"What did you do to me?" It asked it had even struggled a little when it spoke. "Just little something," Neela replied with a smile, and I wanted to snort at that while Steelfur Houndman wanted to crush her pulp.

As it released the grip from my sword and moved toward Neela, and even seeing that, she did not move from her spot, nor did she needs to.

THUD!

It had only taken three steps when it stumbled and fell down, it tried to get up, but its hands and feet moved slowly before they altogether stopped moving at all.

It is a torturous feeling; I have experienced what the Steelfur Houndman experiencing now. This strange attack of Neela makes one prisoner in own skin; whatever the needle contains makes one's skin hard as a diamond that one could not stretch even a little.

It was the strongest attack I had experienced, and since then, I had always been careful about letting Neela's needle anywhere near me.

"Let's finish it up quickly; it would get out of freeze in ten minutes," Neela said as she walked toward the Grimm Monster and took out the wooden box with intense excitement in her eyes that made me scared for a second.

"Ida, give him a cut, remember it has to be deep." Neela said, "I know, I had also read the note of Lord Micheal," I said back and covered ourselves and the body of Houndman with the cloaking method before moving toward the frozen Grimm Monster, which is looking at me with confusion and fear.

Rip!

I moved my sword and ripped a hole in its chest, careful not to damage its core. Though Lord Micheal had said the Grimm Monsters have to be alive for the procedure, I did not want to take any chances.

With the hole opened, Neel opened the box and took out an orange color crystalline rose petal and ever so carefully placed it into the hole while Grimm Monster's eyes became big saucers in horror. It seemed to have noticed the peculiarities of crystal petals that Neela had placed inside its chest.

"They are not delicate, Neela, a Grandmaster, have made them strong enough to not break under the casual attack of Tyrant," I said.

"I know, but I want to be careful since it is our first time using it," Neela replied. I opened my mouth to reply but closed it when I saw the petal shining up gently before it got dissolved into liquid and seep into the Grimm Monsters' body.

For more than a minute, nothing happened and Ive even doubted whether it would work as its nothing like those fearful crystal roses which could destroy even armies.

I had just thought that when the eyes of Steelfur Houndman got wide, an expression of extreme pain appeared in its eyes.. At the same time, I felt the aura of Grimm Monster begin weakening rapidly, with its body losing vibrancy at a visible speed and turning grey.
