Chapter 1850
âThis⊠there is a story. I was worried you might misunderstand, so after washing it thoroughly, I tailored it into a menâs style and used itâŠâ
Beriacheâs Underclothingâit was the strongest underwear in the world. Grid simply looked at the performance and used it. He swore he didnât have any bad intentions. He felt it was unfair and sad that he had to give such an explanation.
ââYou are kind. There is no need to go along with this unnecessary joke.ââ
Fortunately, Beriache didnât seem to doubt Grid. It was a natural outcome from Gridâs perspective.
âIâm not in a position to joke around.â
Beriacheâone of the Three Evils of the Beginning, and the sister of Baal and Amoract. There was only one reason why Grid was polite to Beriache. It was because she was the mother of Braham and Marie Rose. He respected Beriache for that reason alone.
However, that was it. It didnât matter if she had gone against Baal in the past. Grid had experienced the evil of demons and he was wary of Beriache. He didnât trust her. The fact that she tried to protect hell before it was distorted and that Yatan was a good being wasnât enough to erase Gridâs vigilance.
âAs you can see, the distortion of hell hasnât been solved. It is a time when I need to search and eliminate the case as soon as possible. Therefore, I am wondering why you are holding me back with a useless joke. It is also right after you took Baal and Amoractâs power.â
He was ready to go out at any time.
Beriache read Gridâs thoughts and smiled bitterly.
ââYou are the Blood King. It might not have been my intention, but you have inherited my will and you are the companion of my daughter. I just wanted to greet you and express my friendliness, but I was misunderstood due to my poor eloquence. Iâm sorry. I lacked consideration.ââ
Beriache bowed deeply and apologized. She might treat Grid indifferently due to the self-proclaimed relationship between them, but she actually respected Grid from the bottom of her heart.
By this point, Grid had become embarrassed.
ââŠâŠâ
Come to think of it, wasnât this his future mother-in-law? Gridâs heart became heavy at the thought that he treated her more harshly than necessary and he tried to find something to say.
âYou are dodging the important answers. Grid isnât pleased that you have taken Baal and Amoractâs powers. I think it is right for you to explain that.â
Katz, who had been quietly watching the situation, stepped forward.
A terrible guyâthis was Gridâs first impression of Katz. It wasnât just Grid who hated Katz. In the past, Katz was more arrogant and outspoken than anyone else, and he had many anti-fans around the world. A well-known American magazine had named Katz as one of the top 100 most hated people in the world. Maybe it was due to the experience of being sworn at too much, but Katz had the excellent ability to read the atmosphere. It meant he was incredibly tactful.
âAs expected⊠people who have experienced pain are different. The part where he thinks deeply and speaks clearly is a bit like me.â
The one person who had more antis than Katz was GridâGrid felt a strange sense of kinship as he looked with satisfaction at Katz, who had grown up.
ââMy warrior is loyal to the Blood King, not meâŠââ
Beriache stated before shrugging.
ââPerhaps I am drunk because of the powers that have lost their masters. There is no need to ignore the power that I can obtain, right? It is just like how you took my underwear.ââ
Unlike Katz, who rushed to Grid as soon as he arrived at the scene, Beriache was still in the sky. In addition to spreading her magic power widely in real time, it seemed she intended to explore and absorb blood from the battlefield.
âââŠWell, you might feel that this explanation is insufficient, so Iâll add something else.ââ
Grid belatedly realized that Beriacheâs actions were very familiar.
The way she looked down on peopleâit was the habit of innately born Absolutes.
Hanul, Chiyou, King Sobyeol, Baal, Amoract, the Old Dragons, and Marie Roseâin retrospect, all of them did it.
If he had to pick one exception, it was Rebecca, the Goddess of Light. She had interacted with a handful of players in the past and always put herself in the playersâ shoes. In order to not be a nuisance to players, only quests that fit the situation were issued in the form of âoraclesâ asking for help. It was purely for the sake of the humans of the surface.
ââŠNow that I see it, she is the most abnormal one.â
Thus, she was crazy. No, was she abnormal because she went crazy?
As Grid had new questions, Beriacheâs explanation continued.
ââOur nature means we donât perish. It isnât that we are special. It is the law of the world. We are naturally bound by the law that the dead return to their souls and prepare for reincarnation.ââ
The âweâ she referred to was the Three Evils of the Beginning.
Grid remembered the moment when Baal and Amoract died. Both of them had been declared to be âextinguished.â They didnât get a chance for reincarnation and were erased from the world. Originally, even ordinary great demons couldnât be extinguished without Ruby.
So how could Grid do it? He hadnât questioned it. He thought they mightâve been punished by Yatan, so he just passed over it. It wasnât that he skipped over it because it was annoying. It was a very reasonable guess.
Children who betrayed their father, a God of the Beginningâit was understandable no matter what happened to them. However, Beriache told him a different truth.
ââBut Baal and Amoract were extinguished the moment they died and I think it was Baalâs arrangement.ââ
ââŠHis arrangement. You mean? Baal did it himself?â
Grid frowned. Baal had planned his own destruction? It was hard to believe when looking back at the attitude of this bastard who struggled against his fear of death until the very end.
ââOf course, he wouldnât have imagined that he would actually die. Considering Baalâs personality, it mustâve been half a joke. He simply thought âimagine the worst thing that will never happen and design the best solution.âââ
The worst thing that will never happen. For Baal, it was death. Then today, he really died.
Gridâs epic detailed his end. It was widely known to the whole world. It was a fatal event for an Absolute. No matter what methods he used to try and resurrect himself, his status would suffer a terrible decline and he wouldnât be able to reach his prime days.
For a being like Baal, resurrection was meaningless. Therefore, Baal designed the best solution. What was best for him?
Grid easily thought of it. âAsura⊠did he dedicate his death to Asura?â
ââI think so. It is because offering a god has a special meaning. It is also the children of a God of the Beginning being offered. Something beyond your imagination will happen.ââ
The Evil God that Baal longed forâhe mustâve become stronger by now. It was the result of Baalâs death.
At this timeâ
There was a loud explosion in the distance. It was from the direction of the gates where Jishukaâs party was fighting. Could it be that the evil eyesâ king could no longer restrain Asuraâs head?
Grid immediately used Shunpo. Beriache followed him.
Grid asked her, âIf Amoract was also sacrificed, does it mean that she played along with Baalâs joke?â
ââThatâs not it. Amoractâs opposition to Baal was sincere. She avoided interacting with him and there was no reason for her to go along with Baalâs will.ââ
âSo you are saying that Baal forcefully produced this result?â
âYes, it is possible that Baal chose the object to be sacrificed as âusâ rather than Baal himself. It means I am in danger as well. Asura didnât exist when I died in the past and Baal wouldnât have thought up sacrificing us. Now things have changed. If my soul is destroyed in its present state, I will also be offered up to Asura.â
ââŠâŠâ
Beriacheâs soul must not be extinguishedâŠ
It happened the moment when Grid had a clear grasp of the situationâŠ
Flash!
A foreign light flashed from the direction of the gate that was being covered by the evil eyesâ kingâs destructive rays. It was a purple light. It was a pair of them. They were the light from a pair of eyes.
Grid immediately pulled out Defying the Natural Order. He intended to intercept Asuraâs head, which was approaching.
ââŠâŠ!â
A chill went down Gridâs spine.
Asuraâit was because the scarecrow, whose body had been torn to pieces and moved according to Baalâs will, showed emotions for the first time. There was a bright smile on his face as he got closer in an instant.
[Is there any reason for us to confront each other?]
He even talked. To be exact, it was conveyed through intent. However, it sounded like words because it embodied a voice with clear intentions.
[If you are going to block the way, then I will accompany you. But not here.]
Asuraâs head, which was rapidly approaching, suddenly turned around. His speed didnât slow down at all. Grid read his intention to meet and combine with his body that was somewhere else and chased after him with Shunpo.
However, it was as he said before. It was almost impossible to hunt down the âAbsoluteâ who decided to run away. It was because the other party could also use Shunpo. The moment Grid disappeared from view, Asuraâs head became a dot as he also used Shunpo to increase the distance.
ââI donât think there is time to look at the situation here.ââ
Was the evil eyesâ king okay? There was no need to worry about the Overgeared members and Zik, who could be resurrected, but the evil eyesâ king had only one life.
After a moment of hesitation, someone shouted at Grid, who missed Asuraâs head. âPorno is fine! Jishuka died instead!â
It was Vantnerâs voice. Gridâs expression distorted. The name of the evil eyesâ king wasnât Porno, but Pori something and Vantner was the tanker. It shouldâve been Vantner who died instead of Jishuka.
Vantner clearly read Gridâs complaint and added, âIâm sorry! I mistook Porno for a shield for a second!â
âWhatâŠ?â
He wondered what type of excuse this was, but he couldnât help being convinced.
16 hours in lengthâduring Gridâs fierce battle with Baal, Vantner held his shield in one hand and the evil eyesâ king in the other to tie up Asuraâs head. Yes. He was holding the evil eyesâ king alongside his shield. Then Baal died and the tension was loosened. It was easy to be confused for a moment about whether it was the evil eyesâ king or the shield that he was holding in his hand.
Then he suddenly had to stop Asuraâs head, which suddenly showed unprecedented power, so he held up the hand holding the evil eyesâ king, mistaking it for the hand holding the shield. It was fully understandable.
Honestly, Grid thought he mightâve done the same thing.
âDamn.â
He hated himself for understanding Vantnerâs positionâŠ
Grid lamented and immediately tracked down Asuraâs head. He could feel Zik chasing after him but he couldnât afford to wait. Asuraâs head was so far away that he could barely be seen with Barbatosâ Vision. In any case, he was at least in sight. The function of Shunpo was to âmove as far as he could see.â
[Then what if I do this?]
The wide distance was meaningless. Then Asuraâs head smiled at Grid, who had chased him again, before scattering. The eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and even the strands of hair separated and spread in all directions. Each one used Shunpo. Among them, the âeyesâ stared at Grid for a moment. There was no effect.
[You need to âreach.â]
âWhat is with this bastard?â
Was it because Asura kept talking?
Grid was stuck on the âmouthâ and chased after the mouth. That was the limit. The level of the God Hands, Randy, Noe, and the Overgeared Skeletons meant they couldnât track Asura at all. Grid missed all the parts except for the mouth.
[Do you want to have a chat?]
The mouth was chattering.
[While you are tied up by my mouth, I will achieve my goal.]
ââŠâŠ!â
Grid stopped. He looked in the direction that was the complete opposite from this place. It was because he vaguely witnessed the scene of Bibanâs sword growing to a scale that had never been seen before. Thanks to this, Grid grasped Asuraâs location and turned around, while the mouth ended up chasing after him.
[Why didnât Beriache follow you?]
It was while throwing out useless topics.
Grid ignored the babbling mouth. The scene of Bibanâs enlarged sword being broken was projected into his black eyes.
[Pagmaâs soul has been liberated.]
He couldnât afford to pay attention to the new notification.
