CLANNNNNG CLANNNNNG CLANNNNNG

I am defending against the attack and then another and then another; they are powerful and getting powerful, but my formation is also getting good.

Now there is a layer of spongy forbidden power in my armor, which is dealing will those powerful vibrations made using the forbidden power.

It is not just absorbing the vibrations, but also studying them because they are amazing.

They have used a fraction of forbidden power to create dangerous vibrations. I needed hundreds of times more forbidden energy to deal with it.

There is a difference between the sky and earth in how we are using the forbidden energy. My opponent, or rather the one, that had provided it the power, is thousands of times better than me.

I would millenniums to gain such fineness, which is fine because before coming across these people, I would have needed far more.

Now, I don't have to blindly follow the path; I have a way. The data I am collecting is going to help me tremendously, that I can't wait to study it.

This data is said to be the biggest haul, I have received in the abandoned runes. More than any resources or the increase in strength; they are nothing compared to the data, I have got from this cultist.

Roar!

A roar rang out, and it was not from the opponent I was fighting. It is from the human, that was fighting against the four-armed woman.

She immediately started to follow the advice; she had given to me.

She stopped fighting with it and started summoning the shields, but the human cultists in the beast mode tore through it. She seemed to be expecting it, as she summoned more, that by the time, he had reached her.

His attack could only make her take a single step back.

Looking at the way she is dealing with his attack, she is clearly experienced. Likely fought a good number from the beast god cult.

I couldn't help, but feel a little jealous of that. I wish I had come across these bastards years ago when I had come to this world. If that had happened, my skills in a forbidden power would have been far ahead of what they are now.

I would have been more powerful than I am right now, or I might have died, sacrificed to the beast god.

I am sure the beast god would have rewarded the man who captured me handsomely. The forbidden power is no small thing; it is enough to get the attention of the mighty beast god.

It could be said, that this is the perfect time for me to come against the enemies powerful as these.

CLANNNNNG!

Once again, her attack clashed against my sword, but this time, I had only taken a step back.

Seeing that, a surprise couldn't help but appear in those wild eyes.

If I had been in her place, I would have been shocked out of my heart, too. Just a few seconds ago, she was a step away from throwing me like a ragged doll, making me all bloody and broken.

Now, not only there is no vomit or breaking of any bones, but the steps also lessened to one.

Roar!

She roared angrily and attacked me furiously, I defended against her attacks calmy. There is no hurry in my movements. I am not in a hurry to kill her to finish the fight like she is.

A minute had already passed and if the information I had read in the library was right, then she had about half a minute in the beast mode.

After that, the beast mode will disappear, and she will be weak enough. She won't be able to walk, much less fight.

It is why these cultists don't usually use the beast mode unless they are confident killing their opponents with that power or have no choice.

Two of the three are already using the beast mode. The third one seemed to have no intention, seeing how he was focused on the two of his friends.

If I am not wrong, he is the backup.

Unlike these two that were fighting against the women and me. the opponents he is fighting aren't a danger to him despite being strong.

So, there is no threat to his life and thus be a back-up. I am sure he will come to save the two, the moment they come close to exiting the beast mode.

Seconds passed, and her attacks became more and more intense.

The phantom continued to absorb a massive amount of energy from the environment and pouring into the woman.

It is terrible for her. Even if she didn't suffer any permanent consequence, she would be bedridden for months at least to recover from the damage she is suffering from the massive energies she is using.

I may not have my seed in her, but I could tell, she is suffering the damage. The information also said so.

There is always a cost for the borrowed power, and I am going to make her pay the ultimate prize.

Hun!

A few more seconds passed, and I defended against another of her attacks when something happened.

The tattoos hovering over the man fighting against the two beastmen blazed in power and he moved.

His target is me.

The two beastmen tried to stop him, but he was able to get away from them with the cost big injury on his chest.

He appeared to be behind me and attacked, while another attack came from the woman in front.

"Finally," I said, and the black mist covered an area around three of us. It alarmed the man and faint fear appeared in the eyes of women.

Overburst!

I activated the overburst and moved forward, avoiding the attack of the woman by a centimeter, before appearing in front of her.

Puch!

A moment later, my sword pierced through her chest.

She watched in shock, with all wild emotions disappearing from her eyes and like the last time, the seedling rustled and sucked the phantom into the core.

The attack might seem easy enough, but it is far from it. I used the precise path created by my clones. If there had been the slightest mistake, that saber would have split me in two.

Thankfully, I succeeded.
