Chapter 1899
[Iâll be blunt.]
His gaze, that went backwards in the aftermath of his half-severed throat, straightened up. It was in a natural manner.
King Sobyeol didnât die easily. The muscles melted by Bunhelierâs Breath and the bones torn apart by Gridâs Twilight were quickly restored with his divinity.
A true god was a concept. They didnât perish unless they were forgotten. The body was just a tool necessary for activities. King Sobyeol was the son of a God of the Beginning and his body was a tool worthy of joining the discussion of the strongest tool.
[Cooperate with me to punish Asgard. The favors I have shown you over the years arenât small. You can trust my suggestion.]
Grid thought, âPeople who have ulterior motives are like this.â
In fact, King Sobyeolâs position of wanting to cooperate with Grid was actually very reasonable. For him, Asgard was the home he had to reclaim.
However, Grid didnât consider King Sobyeolâs position. It was due to the prejudice created by the experience of almost being stabbed in the back by Amoract. There was no way he could trust King Sobyeol, who dropped his own brother into hell.
[âŠThink carefully.] Once there was no answer, King Sobyeol tried to persuade him again. It was to his advantage for the conversation to drag out longer. Chiyou mustâve felt Gridâs presence and would soon descend here. Then King Sobyeol would have the upper hand in the negotiations.
[Think of the benefits of working with me. You must be fully aware that the situation is against you, right?]
There was a limit, no matter how fast the speed of their intent was.
Only a few seconds had already passed since Gridâs appearance.
King Sobyeol held out well against Grid, who united with the Evil Dragon and poured out all his strength. It was the power of an Absolute.
Grid mustâve felt it as well. It would be burdensome to engage in a conversation. Grid mustâve noticed that it was impossible for him to retreat before Chiyou arrived.
âAre you done now?â Grid retorted as he looked at King Sobyeol, who didnât hide his confidence. Then Grid swapped his sword.
King Sobyeolâs head cocked at an angle. For a moment, he didnât understand why the conversation was cut off. He realized the situation only after he felt the present day Sword Saintâs presence getting closer.
[You have too much confidence.]
Kraugelâs swift approach was achieved due to flying on a sword. He hadnât fully recovered from his wounds and he wasnât much of a threat to King Sobyeol.
The reason King Sobyeol was cut by Kraugelâs sword early was purely due to Bunhelier. The cause was that his route was read while he was trying to avoid the Breath of the crazy Evil Dragon, who always acted contrary to common sense.
Now it was different. King Sobyeol was free. It was because Bunhelier, carrying Grid, passed by King Sobyeol and headed for the lake where the imoogi was.
[Are you going to aim at the imoogi without fighting me?] King Sobyeol burst out laughing.
First of all, this imoogi was very strong. It had skin and scales that could withstand the Breath of the Evil Dragon. King Sobyeol had experienced it himself. Moreover, King Sobyeol had no intention of letting the yeouiju be taken away.
[Do you believe that the present day Sword Saint will buy time for you?!] King Sobyeol declared. Then he caught sight of Kraugelâs blade, which had come close to him.
A dragon weaponâit even looked exactly like Gridâs sword. However, the power was significantly reduced.
The power of Gridâs sword that King Sobyeol just experienced⊠it was powerful enough to send shivers down his spine just thinking about it. At one point, it was even more powerful than the Evil Dragonâs Breath.
[You still have a long way to go, Sword Saint.]
King Sobyeol didnât feel the need to exchange blows with Kraugel. A legend who had only achieved a few levels of transcendence wasnât the opponent of an Absolute. King Sobyeol extended the time and stretched out his hand in a leisurely manner. He intended to grab the wrist of Kraugel, who was approaching slowly like he was in slow motion.
However, King Sobyeol couldnât achieve his goal. Kraugelâs wrist, which shouldâve been grabbed, seemed to blur and moved to the side.
King Sobyeol missed it.
[What?]
Then a ray of neutral light rose from King Sobyeolâs neck. It was divinity that replaced all the blood that had been spilled from him when he was seriously injured by Grid and Bunhelier in succession.
[The sword that can cut anything isnât omnipotent, right?]
In order to cut, the premise of âthe target must be hitâ must be established. This was why the Sword Saint couldnât face an Absolute in a one-on-one match, no matter how great his swordsmanship. But now, Kraugel slit the throat of King Sobyeol. Coincidentally, he aimed perfectly at the place that had just been cut by Grid. It was thanks to the additional effect of Kraugelâs Twilight.
[Make Twilight Become Dawn]
[Passive.
Gain the maximum hit rate correction against targets wounded by the âTwilightâ of Only One God Grid.
This effect is maintained until the target is killed.
Even if Twilight falls and the night passes, the next dayâs dawn will come.]
Kraugelâs Twilight relentlessly aimed at the target. It was an extreme use of growth-type items. The biggest strength of growth-type items was that they âgrew with their masters.â Every time the item rating increased, effects were added that could help the master based on the masterâs inclination. Make Twilight Become Dawn was one of them.
The experience of fighting with Grid on several occasions made it possible. Maybe it was a miracle created by the resonating of the two Twilights.
[It is better for you to be killed. We will be allies when you open your eyes again, so donât grumble too much.] King Sobyeol raised the danger level of Kraugel and drew the string of the great bow. Dozens of shots filled with divinity, capable of destroying mountain peaks with a single blow, were fired from close range and aimed only at Kraugel.
Kraugel didnât bother to avoid them. The opponent was an Absolute. Kraugel had overcome many physical problems such as speed thanks to the absolute hit rate correction effect, but it was only minimal help. He couldnât waste even a small movement.
A glass-like barrier of magic power was created and destroyed in succession around Kraugel. It was the shield support from Braham, Euphemina, Zednos, and Laella.
[Your strength has increased dramatically.]
[Your stamina has increased dramatically.]
[Your agility has increased dramatically.]
[Your health recovery speed has increased dramatically.]
[The power of the items you have equipped will increase.]
[Your health has been significantly restored.]
[Your damaged bones and organs will regenerate quickly.]
Rubyâs blessings were focused on Kraugel.
âI will support you!â Yura and Jishuka fired at King Sobyeolâs wrist. They couldnât cause a critical wound even aiming for the vital point, but they could prevent him from fully using his weapon.
âFortunately, Iâm not too late!! SunâGuard!â
âAura Blade.â
âKing SobyeolâŠ!â
Vantner and Hurent also arrived at the scene of the attack and supported Kraugel. The yangbans hesitated, but didnât change their side.
Piaro and Huroi, who were originally blocking the imoogi, also did their best to attract King Sobyeolâs attention. They were freed up once Grid and Bunhelier started attacking the imoogi.
It was truly an all-out offensive. It felt like the group that was originally united around Grid had been reorganized around Kraugel.
[You are pitiful.] King Sobyeol considered it to be just a small game. He even felt pity. From the point when Grid and the Evil Dragon left, all their wisdom and power had been reduced to being worthless. The present day Sword Saint didnât deserve to replace Gridâs spot.
It wasnât Kraugelâs problem. It wasnât possible unless it was Chiyou. It was King Sobyeolâs sentiment and the truth that no one in the world could replace Grid.
[Come.]
What is the point even if you can cut me? The moment you cut me, I will also cut you down.
At the same time that King Sobyeol was decapitated, Kraugelâs right arm was also cut off.
Kraugel had already switched Twilight to his left hand. Twilightâs red-stained blood pierced through the blood of his right arm that was splattering in the air and pierced the throat of King Sobyeol again. Kraugelâs left ear and cheek were cut in exchange. He narrowly escaped both sides being cut.
The power was fortunately halved thanks to the magic shields of the magicians, who overlapped dozens of them.
âCough!â Zednos and Laella slumped to the ground while coughing up blood. It was magic power backlash. They suffered internal injuries in the aftermath of the damage far exceeding what the shields could handle.
It was the same with Euphemina. No, her condition was much worse. The Mana Shield that targeted and deployed around Kraugel. Obviously, the faster the casting, the more the number of shields that could be stacked.
In that sense, Euphemina was too capable. During the time when Zednos and Laella cast two or three shields, she had cast ten shields. This meant she received more backlash. She entered the immortality state just for blocking this blow. She was effectively a living corpse.
âOne second. No, Iâll step back and take a break when I have 0.2 seconds left.â Eupheminaâs face turned white and she barely suppressed her trembling voice as she cast the shield again. This was the only way for a magician to play an active role against an Absolute who never allowed attack magic to hit. Ironically, it was the role of a tanker. She had no choice but to do her best.
Red rain started to pour down from the sky. It was a huge amount of bleeding that made it hard to believe it was the blood shed from one person. It was all the blood that Kraugel spilled.
The more Ruby and the magicians prolonged Kraugelâs life, the more miserable Kraugelâs state became. Brain fluids flowed down from his diagonally severed heads and both eyes had already been cut out for the fourth time. All the muscles in important parts of his body were torn. His body was full of stab or cut wounds, revealing many bones and organs.
In the end, only his left arm remained intact. It was a situation where his right arm was cut off again and again just before it regenerated. He would lose any means of attack if he lost his left arm, so Kraugel devoted himself to defending it.
Kraugel thought, âThe opponent is an Absolute. There is no way other than directly cutting him.â
âHeart Swordâ had been used several times, but it didnât deal a significant blow to King Sobyeol. There was just a fleeting pause. This was too short a time for Kraugel to take advantage of. He just wasted mana uselessly.
[It is the end.] King Sobyeol saw Kraugelâs eyes, which lost focus at last, and responded with some frustration. He never thought he would fight a battle of attrition against a single swordsman who wasnât even an Absolute.
[You were great.] King Sobyeol didnât hide his feelings. HIs intent was imprinted on the world and elevated Kraugelâs status. Of course, this didnât affect the trend of the battle much. In the first place, there was something else that Kraugel believed in.
Finally, King Sobyeol beheaded Kraugel. It was literally a beheading. Since his head had been cut off his neck, his immortality state didnât work properly.
âAh.â There were sighs everywhere. In particular, the anger of the damage dealers was great as they barely managed to reach the battle location by using the Blue Dragonâs Boots or the beanstalks planted by Piaro, only to crash down.
This was a battle in the air. The amount of mana consumed by the Blue Dragonâs Boots was so large that most damage dealers were vulnerable. They couldnât help Kraugel.
âShit! Die. You bastaaaaard!â
Just as Grid was always left alone, this time they left Kraugel aloneâŠ
It happened when the frantic Vantner was roaringâŠ
Flinch.
Kraugelâs Twilight, which had stopped just before reaching King Sobyeolâs neck, suddenly moved.
Kraugel died standingâthere was no other way to put it, yet his left arm moved. It was despite it slowly turning to ash.
[âŠâŠ!]
King Sobyeolâs expression stiffened. He had a terrible feeling that he never experienced before. Kraugelâs left arm and the dark shadows on Twilight that were elongatingâŠ
[The name âKing Sobyeolâ has been recorded in the âKill List.â]
It was the opportunity that âGridâs shadow,â which had been holding his breath while dwelling in the shadow of the present day Sword Saint, had been waiting for. He critically injured King Sobyeol at the end of the period of perseverance.
[KuekâŠ!]
King Sobyeol groaned like he had allowed a hit from Grid. It was the power of Kill List, which combined with the dragon weapon to dramatically increase its power. It was obviously a serious wound.
King Sobyeolâs hands trembled. He couldnât easily pull out the red dagger that was stuck in his neck along with Twilight.
At the same time, the body of the imoogi, standing tall in the distance, started tilting. The time earned by his colleagues wasnât wasted by Grid.
