Chapter 2270 - Azure Archer II

"I thought the Grimms would be sent an army to greet me, but they have sent you instead," I said, which instantly made the haughty smile on its face disappear, and anger replaced it instantly.

The foxmen are the vainest, narcissistic Grimm Monsters. They would get angry at the slightest negative comment about their power and appearance, which they always maintain and which is why they are one of the most beautiful among these man-eating monsters.

"I am more than enough to destroy you and your little army," It said back angrily as it gripped its bow tightly, ready to make a move at any moment.

I have no doubt about the Grimm's strength; if not for that, they would not have sent it. I am more worried about my men, which I do not think it would dare to attack openly, throwing away all the conventions that are on the place.

If that happened, then the war would instantly enter the phase where only slaughter would matter, without care for the levels, which is usually the last phase of the war in which both parties throw away the convention and focus just on killing.

Still, I ordered my army back, including the Masters, and asked Nero to take action. If the Ratman or this Foxman dared to make any move on them.

"The Grimm Grandmaster, I had fought not long ago, had said about the similar words, and now it is dead," I said with a smile which made its eyes flash, and it pointed its bow and at me, seeing that I moved toward it.

Sup Sup Sup!

It pulled string after string at a very fast speed while moving back at a very fast speed, wanting to maintain as much distance from me.

Seeing that, my eyes couldn't help but light up. 

I am sure the Grimms had watched my earlier battle and caught the detail where I had just frozen the Grandmaster before it had disappeared, without them understanding how.

Still, they have acted very fast, much faster than I had expected. I had throught I would have to make another Grimm Grandmaster disappear before they took action, but it seemed to like they did not want to take the risk with the life of Grandmaster.

It is due to this reason they have sent Azure Foxman, who is an expert in long-range combat, also the reason why they have sent no army.

It took a second for a barrage of huge arrows to appear next to me, seeing that my sword appeared in my hand, and I swung it toward the arrows.

BANG BANG BANG

The arrows began exploding the moment my sword clashed against them, but I did not care about that; instead focused on destroying the coming arrows.

These arrows are very fast, and despite it launching them from a distance, each of them is perfectly aimed at my fatal. One could tell the degree of marksmanship the Foxman had by it.

BANG!

I destroyed the last arrow it had launched, and as I did, I had noticed something which shocked me so much that I am grateful that the explosion had covered me, so one had able to see the change that had appeared on my face.

This Foxman is no Grandmaster but a Master class powerhouse, which had gained power which is above of regular Grandmaster.

I had not thought the Grimms would send such treasure to me; even among the Grimm Monsters, there would not be more than ten people who have such strength, and they have sent one here. 

Seeing that great killing intent couldn't help but appear in my eyes for a moment before a rational thought took control of it. I could kill it if I dared to reveal my true cards, but the value of them is far above this Grimm Monster.

So, I will fight it and see if I can kill it with my own abilities; I am sure I will be able to if I get the chance.

"Feather Stream!"

The Foxmen said, and tens of white energy arrows shot out of its bow; seeing those arrows, my eyes couldn't help but widen up in great surprise.

'First Boost!'

I activated the first boost without wasting a moment and swung my sword toward the coming arrows. These arrows are very powerful, and if I did not activate the first boost, I could forget to defend against them without suffering disadvantage, and I have to save myself from falling into such a situation as it is not the only Grimm Monster in the field.

The white energy arrows took all but a moment to appear next to me, and I moved my sword to defend against them.

CLANG!

My sword clashed against the first white arrow, and the first thing I had noticed was how insane amount of sharp energy it contained. They are so powerful they would be able to pierce through or at least dent low-level Grandmaster artifacts.

As for the flesh, they would pierce it so smoothly that one would not be aware that he or she had been pierced by these arrows.

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

After clashing with the first arrow, I clashed with another. Destroying it under the sheer force of my sword, which had been enhanced by powering up the weight formation of my sword, which is now powerful enough to crush a mountain in a single strike.

Thankfully, we are fighting quite high in the air, so sigh that even frighteningly powerful shockwaves of attacks were barely able to do anything against the beautiful glaciers below us.

Finally, I finished destroying the last white arrow and looked at the Foxman, who had now put even more distance from me, so much that even normal Grandmaster class archers would not dare to put such distance between themselves and their prey.

"You know, you could come a little closer.. I promise I won't bite!" I said to it with a smile which made it even angrier.
