The four silvery fireballs looked beautiful in the night as they shot toward the Red Foxmen who were trying to activate their inheritance and defensive measures before the fireballs could hit them.
They did not try to run away from the fireballs because they knew it would be impossible with the fireballs speed, not to forget these fireballs could move to the will of the monster; they have seen how these fireballs have destroyed the missiles.
They had expected the monster to be powerful after seeing how it had destroyed the missiles but still felt they could handle it, especially with the help of the leader now seeing these terrifying fireballs that are tiny as eyes, they lost confidence, they did not do a thing even their leader could not deal with these dangerous fireballs.
Bang Bang Bang Dhub!
The banging sound rang out as the fireballs reached the Grimm Monsters and breached their shields easily before blasting them into ashes; the Grimm Monsters did not even get a chance to scream before they even died.
Not all the Grimm Monsters are dead, though; the one wearing the priestly robe survived.
I had thought it would die too as his defensive Art also got crushed under the might of Ashlyn's fireball's but right when it just touched its body, a grey field popped out of its body and repelled the fireball.
Protection Talisman!
I saw the Runic Shields covering its whole body, and its grade is quite great as it did not even ripple when it repelled the fireball.
"You bastard, you made me waste my life protection talisman that I had obtained after so much hard work." It screamed. Its voice lost its elegance and became a high pitch, which felt very grating to the ears.
"What are you going to do about it? attack me?" I mocked it; blazing anger appeared in its eyes as it heard me, and it moved its moved gemmed staff toward my direction in a fury.
"Hrselen melde auspet!" It muttered in Grimm language, and the next moment, a small black runic formation came out of its staff. These runic formations are completely black and have small smoke coming out of them.
For a moment, I did not understand such a strange attack before something clicked into my mind, and I paled a little.
'Curse Master!' I said in my mind; I should have guessed seeing the priestly robe, only these bastards were such clothes. I can't blame myself, though, I've only heard about them, never come across them before.
The 'Curse Masters' are rare in Grimm Monster, but these bastards are the most fearsome of the bunch; they are ants that could devour the tiger. These professions are very feared due to their strange curses and tricky behavior.
It was the Curse Master who has made my mother lose all her strength; when she talked about yesterday, I saw the fear in her eyes. Professor also said that these bastards are the trickiest bunch to deal with.
They are very hard to kill as they always have some tricks into their sleeves, like this right now when Ashlyn attacked it and destroyed its shields, a protective talisman had appeared out of nowhere and saved it.
Chirp Chirp
Seeing the curses coming toward us, Ashlyn attacked without me saying anything; she had not only sent fireballs towards the curses, but she also sent it toward the Grimm Monster she had sent a lot of fireballs toward it.
Bang Bang Bang…
The silver fireballs crashed against the black smoky curses and destroyed it. In contrast, the fireballs crashed against the Grimm Monsters did not seem to do anything, seeing that Grimm Monsters opened its mouth to say something but found a flurry of hundreds of fireballs coming toward it.
Ashlyn got angry seeing her fireballs not doing anything, so she sent lots more at the Grimm Monster. It tried to dodge, but the fireballs easily caught it and crashed on the grey shield covering it.
'Nothing!' I thought, seeing the attack of Ashlyn not working on the shield, "Hahaha, bastard, this is Life Protection Talisman that could even save me again. King Stage powerhouse attacks, so you puny monsters attacks will do nothing to me." It said inane arrogant tone.
"Oh yeah, for how long. Five minutes, ten minutes, an hour max?" I asked with a smile, "When the protection is over, you will also turn into the ash-like the rest of your friends." I said sarcastically, which turned dimmed down an arrogant smile on his face a little before it brightened up.
Seeing the smile, a vigilance rose on me, and I asked Ashlyn, ready for any tricks from this bastard.
"Bastard, you should feel honored that I will be killing you through the curse my brother had created." "It is made to Kill a duke, feel honored that it will be used to kill you today, a puny knight." It said, hearing that my face paled.
'Run!'
I said to Ashlyn; I don't care if it is bluffing or not, but I don't want to risk it, so I asked Ashlyn immediately to run, and we shot out like a rocket.
"Puny Human, you will not run away from this Life Burning Curse." It said with madness and before a small thing came into its hand, which looked like it was made of a bunch of grasses and herbs binded together with complication formation carved on them.
As the thing came into its hands, it gently muttered something which made it shine faintly as it shone a smile on its face brightened up, and as it gently threw that grassy thing toward me.
Dup!
That thing burst into flames and shot toward me with a speed that it crossed hundreds of meters and appeared before me and entered my body before Ashlyn and I could react.
"Hehe, bastard, enjoy the torturous death.!" I heard a faint voice behind me, but I was in no mood to listen as soul curdling pain shot through every part of me as my lifeforce started to burn away like a kerosine dipped wood.
