Chapter 280
Kwa kwang!
Kukwakwang!
It was like being hit by a tsunami of black energy blades. The eldersâ meeting room was turned into ruins in an instant.
âEnormous damage!â
Pascal and the elders thought. The prostitutes shaking in the corner were protected by Lifaelâs Spear, but the elders only had each other to rely on..
âHoly Shield!â
âResist the Dark!â
Pascal and the others increased their physical and black magic resistance before using heals on each other. There was no room to worry about mana. Their top priority was enduring and surviving the aggressive attack.
âThe paladins will rush over when the turmoil grows! Buy time until then!â
âDonât stop healing!â
Flash!
The green light restoring their wounds and health shone without rest. It was like looking at an aurora. These were heals used by the highest ranked priests of the Rebecca Church. It could even endure a dragonâs breath for a while. But the current reality was different.
âThe amount of recovery canât keep up with the damage!â
âThis isnât a destructive power that humans can exert! Grid is surely a demonkin!â
The +9 Failure. It was a weapon that had an attack power comparable to the Rebecca Churchâs three divine artefacts. The +8 Doppelgangerâs Sword. The attack power couldnât be fully exerted thanks to the penalty, but it had the option to increase the damage of skills by 20%.
The power of the legendary skills used by these two swords was more than imagined.
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
âKuaaaak!â
The 23 elders had an average level of 300. Among them, seven were still second advancement priests with a level of 290. They were the ones severely injured.
Black magic was the antithesis of divine power.
âThese people are the hole.â
The seven elders were torn into rags. Gridâs red light detected their weaknesses.
âI have to finish it as quickly as possible.â
The duration of Blackening was only five minutes. If he didnât win in five minutes, he wouldnât be able to cope with the resilience of Pascal and the eldersâ heals.
âBlacksmithâs Rage.â
[Attack power will increase by 25% and attack speed will increase by 40%.]
Blacksmithâs Rage was now level 4, so the duration was longer. 35 seconds. It was a golden opportunity for Grid.
Teong!
He leapt over the crushed round table. He moved carefully so that the prostitutes wouldnât be harmed.
âLink.â
Pit! Pipipipipit!
Several dozens of black energy swords were drawn around the seven elders as Grid narrowed the distance. Afterimages were formed because of his quick speed.
âWhat?â
The elders didnât even notice that they were cut.
Puhahak!
They were bewildered for a moment. Blood simultaneously poured from the bodies of the seven elders.
âHueok!â
âH-Help meâŠ!â
Those struck didnât even know it. How creepy was this? The terrified elders used Heal. However, Gridâs attack speed was much faster than the casting speed of Heal. In the first place, they shouldnât have allowed him to get close.
Seokeok!
Puok!
âKyaak!â
The â5 Joint Attacksâ attached to the Holy Light Gloves and the âBisectâ skill attached to Failure turned the elders to grey ash.
[You have defeated the corrupt elder Huda.]
[12,910,300 experience has been acquired.]
[Advanced priestâs clothing has been acquired.]
[A high quality emerald ring has been acquired.]
[You have killed a human in the half demon state, so demonic magic power has increased by 10.]
[You have defeated the corrupt elder Furell.]
[12,552,000 experience has been acquired.]
[Advanced priestâs shoes have been acquired.]
[You have killed a human in the half demonâŠ]

The notification windows after killing the seven second advancement elders came to a halt in Gridâs sight. The dropped items werenât anything special, but the experience was significant. However, the fact that demonic power increased by 10 points made Grid uneasy.
The increase in demonic power made it possible for him to go to hell, but was that really all? Perhaps he might change species into a demon.
Chaaeng!
A green light hit Grid while he was filled with anxiety. It was a Heal from Pascal. He had aimed it perfectly after Grid took care of the seven elders.
[You have been affected by Great Heal.]
[The Holy Light Armor raises the recovery magicâs power by 300%.]
[Great Heal is a deadly poison to a half demon!]
[You have suffered 23,640 damage.]
âKuak!â
The Holy Light Armor gave Grid absolute power. That strongest armor was now his weakness. Gridâs health gauge fell by two-thirds in a single blow. Pascal identified Gridâs pain and was confused.
âWhat? It was more effective than expected?â
Why? Pascal didnât know the exact reason, but he interpreted it in his own way.
âThe goddess is blessing me!â
For sure! Goddess Rebecca was hoping for Gridâs death! Pascal was convinced by this and his momentum rose.
âNow! Pour out your heals towards him! Give the goddessâ punishment to that wicked demon, who is trying to deceive everyone!â
Flash!
All of the survive 16 priests were third advancement priests. The power of the Great Heals they used was different from the seven elders who died earlier.
Chaaeng! Jjejeong!
16 rays of green light hit Grid. At first, Grid tried to avoid it, but he stopped in place as soon as one attack was allowed. Grid was caught by the light and hit by multiple healing magic. Pascal and the elders smiled with satisfaction at the sight.
âSurprisingly easy!â
âHe sold his soul to the demons!â
âGrid is killed!â
The moment that Pascal and the elders were convinced of their victory.
âPagmaâs Swordsmanship.â
Rather than dying within the light, Grid started moving again.
âWhat?â
Teong!
Grid approached the astonished Pascal. It was really a tremendous speed. It was due to Quick Movements that was attached to the +8 Ideal Dagger. A blue light shot in a straight line.
âKill!â
Peeeeeong!
Pascalâs Holy Divine Shield was crushed in a single blow. This was despite the fact that it was three times more powerful than a typical Holy Shield.
âY-You! Why are you alive?â
Gridâs status wasnât fine either. He was deeply wounded everywhere and shedding blood.. There was a hole in the vicinity of his chest. It wouldnât be strange if he died. However, Grid had a passive skill.
[A legend doesnât die easily. You can resist all attacks for 5 seconds with a minimum of health.]
Grid had long been dependent on the invincible skill, and he was now enraged.
âRotten bastards! How can multiple people attack one person?â
âWhat nowâŠ? Arenât you the one who came to attack all of us alone?â
Pascal felt that Grid was ridiculous as he used Heal on himself. At the same time, his Holy Divine Shield was restored. It was double casting. Grid didnât stay still. Evil Spiritâs Bloody Tears had been activated and his attack power increased.
After using Wave to slow down Pascal and the eldersâ speed, he was able to link Unbreakable Justice with no time difference, not giving Pascal the chance to complete the shield. Then he used his strongest skill straight away.
âLinked Kill!â
Puk!
One blow to Pascalâs heart.
Puok!
The second blow.
Puoook!
The third blow. Two greatswords stabbed at the same time. Grid smacked his lips.
âI wouldâve been able to kill him if there were two more blows.â
The number of strikes that Linked Kill dealt was random. It couldnât be intentionally controlled. It was unfortunate. Pascal was struck in the heart and suffering from terrible pain.
âY-You cruel bastardâŠ!â
Grid hadnât once frowned while persistently aiming at the heart. Now he looked like he found this delicious, so he certainly wasnât normal.
âWhat right do you have to denounce and punish me, when you are just as cruel?â
Pascal cried out to Grid with an unfair expression.
âThe right of the strong.â
This was enough. Pascal had trampled on many weak people just because he was strong. Now he was reaping what he sowed. Pascal felt like he had been hit in the back of the head.
There were no apparent objections, so Grid wielded Failure successively. The elders used Heal to save Pascal, but it wasnât enough. Pascal was directly hit by Linked Kill and lost almost all his health. Demonic power also infiltrated his body, so Heal couldnât have a proper effect.
âThis guy!â
The veins bulged on the balding Pascalâs head and his eyes became red and bloodshot. In one month! In one month, he wouldâve become pope and reigned over 80 million people!
âWhy did you appear before meâŠ? Youuu! Kuaaaaak! I wonât die alone! Light Blaze!â
Pascal was level 330. His divine power was lower than former Pope Drevigo, but his level was much higher. Named NPCs grew in proportion to the average level of the users. The magic that he used couldnât be ignored.
Peeng!
Pepepepeong!
Pascal caused a divine explosion, firing dozens of magic power rays at Grid.
âIt isnât a big deal!â
There were still two seconds left on the invincible duration. Grid attacked without fleeing from the magic power rays.
âCrazy!â
Pascal couldnât understand the situation at all. He meant for both of them to die, so why didnât this person lose momentum?
âEven if you are a zombie, you wonât be able to survive this! Goddessâ Wrath!â
Pascal had no place to retreat anymore. He depleted all of his divine power and health to cast this spell. It was his final decision to end Grid who ruined his life.
Papat! Pa pa pa pat!
Two large gold circles, approximately 3m in diameter, were quickly created behind Pascalâs back. It was the magic spell that Pope Drevigo used in the past. The size of the magic circles was much smaller than when Drevigo used it, since he was lacking divine power. However, it was still enough power against the current Grid.
Kuwaaaang!
A brilliant flash of light was emitted from the circles. The whole room shook and cracked in the aftermath. This was the goddessâ magic that surpassed Transcended Link in terms of power. As the light shot at him, notification windows appeared in Gridâs vision.
[The duration of Invicible is over.]
Would he die?
âNo.â
The strength of Pascal with the healing shuttles called the elders was beyond Gridâs expectations. But the result wouldnât change. Grid knew it from the beginning.
âI will win.â
It had been a year and three months since the fall of Pope Drevigo. In the meantime, Grid had made considerable progress. Regardless of the variables, it was impossible for Grid to be defeated by Pascal, who was on the same level as Drevigo.
âFreely Move!â
It was the skill attached to the title âSecret Hero.â There were limits to the range of use, and the cooldown time was one hour.However, it was a top dashing skill that allowed him to avoid all non-targeting skills until he reached his target.
Teong!
Grid rushed towards Pascal. He turned in the air and avoided two flashes of light from Goddessâ Wrath.
Kuooooh!
His raging demonic power concentrated on Failure and the Doppelgangerâs Greatsword.
âThis is ridiculous!â
His magic couldnât hit the target in front of it? The greatswords fell towards the astonished Pascal.
âPinnacle!â
[The level of Pagmaâs Swordsmanship, Pinnacle has increased.]
[The amount of damage done to the target and the mana consumption will increase.]
Seokeok!
âKukâŠ! Kuaaaaak!â
Pascal screamed. The elders determined they couldnât save him and used Heal against Grid.
Flash!
It was immediately after Invincible and Freely Move ran out. He only had one health left and 16 rays of green light were aiming at the unprotected Grid. Would he die now? No. Grid was no longer the helpless person who tasted countless deaths.
He was careful and clever⊠No, it was common sense. It was easy to calculate.
[Dark Busâ Earrings have been turned off.]
[The effect of Blackening will disappear.]
[You have been affected by Great Heal.]
[The Holy Light Armor raises the recovery magicâs power by 300%.]
[Your health has been restored.]
[Your health has been restored.]
[Your healthâŠ]
âWhatâŠ?â
Shortly before dying. Pascal was happy at the thought of having Grid as a companion on his journey of death, only for his expression to twist. Grid was close to death, only to be restored by the eldersâ Heal.
âThis is crazy!â
It was Pascalâs last call before he turned to ash.
