BANNNNG!
The ball crashed against the shields, and all the cracks that had been healed immediately began to appear; within a second, the cracks covered half of the shields, and they were spreading fast.
"Bastard!" I cursed loudly as I wiped my mouth of the blood; this bastard had not only increased the power of its attack when I had burned my essence but also a moment before it had crashed against the shields, and the increase in power had been huge.
If it had not been for that, then my shield, being powered by my essence, wouldn't be able to crack so easily.
I had a power very close to the Grand Lord, and with such power powering up the shield, even Grand Lord would need to use substantial power to break through my shields, and the bastard did.
I am angry at what the bastard had done but also helpless to do anything other than wait for that one small opportunity.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
