Chapter 1899

[Ill 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 didnt die easily. The muscles melted by Bunheliers Breath and the bones torn apart by Grids Twilight were quickly restored with his divinity.

A true G.o.d was a concept. They didnt perish unless they were forgotten. The body was just a tool necessary for activities. King Sobyeol was the son of a G.o.d 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 arent small. You can trust my suggestion.]

Grid thought, People who have ulterior motives are like this.

In fact, King Sobyeols position of wanting to cooperate with Grid was actually very reasonable. For him, Asgard was the home he had to reclaim.

However, Grid didnt consider King Sobyeols 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 h.e.l.l.

[...Think 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 mustve felt Grids 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 pa.s.sed since Grids 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 mustve felt it as well. It would be burdensome to engage in a conversation. Grid mustve noticed that it was impossible for him to retreat before Chiyou arrived.

Are you done now? Grid retorted as he looked at King Sobyeol, who didnt hide his confidence. Then Grid swapped his sword.

King Sobyeols head c.o.c.ked at an angle. For a moment, he didnt understand why the conversation was cut off. He realized the situation only after he felt the present day Sword Saints presence getting closer.

[You have too much confidence.]

Kraugels swift approach was achieved due to flying on a sword. He hadnt fully recovered from his wounds and he wasnt much of a threat to King Sobyeol.

The reason King Sobyeol was cut by Kraugels 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, pa.s.sed 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 Kraugels blade, which had come close to him.

A dragon weaponit even looked exactly like Grids sword. However, the power was significantly reduced.

The power of Grids sword that King Sobyeol just experienced... it was powerful enough to send s.h.i.+vers down his spine just thinking about it. At one point, it was even more powerful than the Evil Dragons Breath.

[You still have a long way to go, Sword Saint.]

King Sobyeol didnt feel the need to exchange blows with Kraugel. A legend who had only achieved a few levels of transcendence wasnt 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 couldnt achieve his goal. Kraugels wrist, which shouldve been grabbed, seemed to blur and moved to the side.

King Sobyeol missed it.

[What?]

Then a ray of neutral light rose from King Sobyeols 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 isnt omnipotent, right?]

In order to cut, the premise of the target must be hit must be established. This was why the Sword Saint couldnt face an Absolute in a one-on-one match, no matter how great his swordsmans.h.i.+p. 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 Kraugels Twilight.

[Make Twilight Become Dawn]

[Pa.s.sive.

Gain the maximum hit rate correction against targets wounded by the Twilight of Only One G.o.d Grid.

This effect is maintained until the target is killed.

Even if Twilight falls and the night pa.s.ses, the next days dawn will come.]

Kraugels 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 grew with their masters. Every time the item rating increased, effects were added that could help the master based on the masters 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 dont 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 didnt 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 couldnt waste even a small movement.

A gla.s.s-like barrier of magic power was created and destroyed in succession around Kraugel. It was the s.h.i.+eld 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.]

Rubys blessings were focused on Kraugel.

I will support you! Yura and Jishuka fired at King Sobyeols wrist. They couldnt cause a critical wound even aiming for the vital point, but they could prevent him from fully using his weapon.

Fortunately, Im not too late!! SunGuard!

Aura Blade.

King Sobyeol...!

Vantner and Hurent also arrived at the scene of the attack and supported Kraugel. The yangbans hesitated, but didnt change their side.

Piaro and Huroi, who were originally blocking the imoogi, also did their best to attract King Sobyeols 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 didnt deserve to replace Grids spot.

It wasnt Kraugels problem. It wasnt possible unless it was Chiyou. It was King Sobyeols 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, Kraugels right arm was also cut off.

Kraugel had already switched Twilight to his left hand. Twilights 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. Kraugels left ear and cheek were cut in exchange. He narrowly escaped both sides being cut.

The power was fortunately halved thanks to the magic s.h.i.+elds of the magicians, who overlapped dozens of them.

Cough! 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 s.h.i.+elds could handle.

It was the same with Euphemina. No, her condition was much worse. The Mana s.h.i.+eld that targeted and deployed around Kraugel. Obviously, the faster the casting, the more the number of s.h.i.+elds that could be stacked.

In that sense, Euphemina was too capable. During the time when Zednos and Laella cast two or three s.h.i.+elds, she had cast ten s.h.i.+elds. This meant she received more backlash. She entered the immortality state just for blocking this blow. She was effectively a living corpse.

One second. No, Ill step back and take a break when I have 0.2 seconds left. Eupheminas face turned white and she barely suppressed her trembling voice as she cast the s.h.i.+eld 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 Kraugels life, the more miserable Kraugels 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, The opponent is an Absolute. There is no way other than directly cutting him.

Heart Sword had been used several times, but it didnt 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 Kraugels 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 wasnt even an Absolute.

[You were great.] King Sobyeol didnt hide his feelings. HIs intent was imprinted on the world and elevated Kraugels status. Of course, this didnt 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 didnt work properly.

Ah. 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 Dragons 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 Dragons Boots was so large that most damage dealers were vulnerable. They couldnt help Kraugel.

s.h.i.+t! Die. You bastaaaaard!

Just as Grid was always left alone, this time they left Kraugel alone...

It happened when the frantic Vantner was roaring...

Flinch.

Kraugels Twilight, which had stopped just before reaching King Sobyeols neck, suddenly moved.

Kraugel died standingthere was no other way to put it, yet his left arm moved. It was despite it slowly turning to ash.

[......!]

King Sobyeols expression stiffened. He had a terrible feeling that he never experienced before. Kraugels left arm and the dark shadows on Twilight that were elongating...

[The name King Sobyeol has been recorded in the Kill List.]

It was the opportunity that Grids shadow, 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.

[Kuek...!]

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 Sobyeols hands trembled. He couldnt 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 wasnt wasted by Grid.
