By my authority, I will give you the 9th throne, Rose.

......!

Roses eyes shook violently.

A single digit great demonshe gained a position that no player had dreamed of. It wasnt an illusion. She was directly singled out by Baal in a situation where she was facing Grid.

...Hahat! Ahahahat!

A stage that attracted the attention of the whole worldRose felt great excitement just by being on stage alongside the protagonist named Grid, and trembled. She felt like she was proudly starring in a lead role.

Of course, it was as a villain. Most of the people watching this moment would be pouring out all types of accusations and curses, saying that she was a demons lackey. It was okay. The more immersed the audience was, the higher her value would increase.

Grid started as a villain as well.

Technically, it seemed he didnt start out as a villain and was simply a madman, but...

In any case, it was a world where awareness was directly linked to power. Just as Grid, who was a player like everyone else, had been reborn as the main character of the world, she could also set the stage for becoming the second main character from today...

Rose thought up to this point and became motivated.

[Will you accept the proposal of the 1st Great Demon, Baal?]

It happened as she was about to answer yes to the notification window that popped into his sight...

-It is great that you gained Baals trust so quickly. Your qualities are really like a demon.

Someones voice directly rang in her brain. It was a familiar voice.

The Great Demon of Conflict, Amoractshe was the master Rose originally served.

-Child. Surprisingly, Baal is at a disadvantage. Grids subordinates are active at every major base and the whereabouts of the Old Dragon brought by Grid are also unknown. Think about what might be behind Baals intention to give strength to you at this time. It isnt worth it to move according to Baals will now. You wont get much results and you will be used as an arrow in the quiver.

Amoracts advice was valid. Rose was slightly moved. To be worried and give advice to a subordinate who ran away after stabbing her in the back...

At this point, wasnt she an angel rather than a demon?

That is why she is a fool.

Roses brightly shining eyes cooled down.

-You intend to drive me against Baal. Youre the Great Demon of Conflict. Yes, thats it. Just stay backstage and watch as you usually do, you old hag who is chained up and unable to do anything.

In the first place, Rose didnt trust Amoract.

The Great Demon of ConflictAmoracts essence was to encourage conflict, although Rose had never personally witnessed any power related to conflict. It was understandable to be wary. In the end

Rose ignored Amoracts subsequent persuasions and accepted Baals offer. An explosion occurred around Rose. It was an explosion created by a powerful wave of demonic energy. It was powerful enough that Grids divinity shook despite maintaining a fairly long distance. Lightning bolts crackled among the still surging demonic energy.

Roses eyes revealed through the gap were red.

[A new 9th Great Demon has been born.]

[It is Rose, the Demon of Betrayal.]

......

The soaring demonic energy started to sink calmly. Like melting chocolate, it flowed down Roses body and hardened. Rose was soon dressed in a pitch-black dress that was as hard as iron armor and let out her stopped breath.

Hah... Im ecstatic.

The world seen by a transcendent was somewhat familiar to Rose. However, at this moment, she was born as a being close to an Absolute, not a transcendent. It wasnt just because she was a single digit great demon.

[The existence who gave birth to you is right by your side. Your magic power and status are greatly increased.]

Rose stood beside Baal and became close to an Absolute. Some of Baals power was being shared with her. It was a benefit of being reborn as a close aide of the 1st Great Demon.

Grid. Roses movement through the air left afterimages. It was proof that she was incredibly fast. The viewers were extremely nervous. I've admired you for a long time. It was from the time you oppressed me with great power. From that time on, I had the dream of being like you.

Strengthit was a concept that everyone yearned for. In order to obtain simple freedom, strength was sometimes needed. Moreover, Rose was a woman of great ambition. She always wanted to gain great strength and power and rule over others. She felt the desire to become like Grid more than anyone else. The look in her eyes as she stared at Grids splendid, blooming orange divinity that flowed like long hair was pure, unadulterated love.

So today and in the future, I will bring you down. Until you also come to admire me. That is how our relationship will be complete.

...Is she crazy?

Grid didnt see her as a normal person from the time Rose described herself as oppressed. It was because the nature of the oppression she mentioned was retribution. Rose had simply paid the price for her sins. She shouldnt talk like a victim.

A normal person wouldnt be doing all this bullshit.

Originally, there were few normal people among the transcendents or rankers. Wasnt the habit of relentlessly digging into one field a form of mental illness in itself? It made him wonder such ridiculous questions.

Grids impression of her went up to there. He wasnt very interested in Roses character personally, no matter what she said. He just felt a bit of gratitude. Lets match her properly and buy time until the cooldown of Another Tomb ends.

The silent attitude is cool as well.

Rose smiled and checked the newly created powers and skills.

Tightrope Walking. Each power and skill had a similar name. It was just as shown by the title of Demon of Betrayal. The system seemed to notice that she constantly changed factions.

It isnt bad.

It was just like the name, Tightrope Walking. Most of Roses newly acquired skills had high reliance on probability. It didnt exert great power on average, but had a low probability of exerting a tremendous power. Without any luck, the level was lower than normal skills. Nevertheless, Rose thought positively.

Grid and the Overgeared membersit wasnt enough to fight and win against them, who were stronger than her, with normal level skills. It was important that there was a chance of getting a glimpse of some odds of winning, even if the probability was low.

[You have activated the power of Tightrope Walking.]

[Two major stats will increase slightly or by 3x and two major stats will decrease slightly or by 3x.]

[Critical probability will increase to 100% or decrease slightly.]

[The weak point attack probability will increase to 100% or decrease slightly.]

[Magic power will increase slightly or significantly.]

Rose was ready for battle. She overlapped skills that she didnt know would be buffs or debuffs. The target was Grid.

Her purpose wasnt victory. She thought it would be enough if she could put her name on Grids myth, even if she lost. It was because she believed that this weak start would serve as a stepping stone for a great and brilliant future.

As the buffs overlapped, she turned into something other than human. Then Baal handed her the demon sword. It was the demon sword where powerful energy was condensed. Rose felt the power in it and was thrilled.

Baal, it is good to be loyal to you.

She felt sorry for her past self who suspected that he might be a rotten rope. Rose sincerely thought this. Maybe this

Wasnt she capable of competing with Grid? In fact, this was the intent she moved with. Didnt she get the demon sword with Baals magic power condensed? This meant that Baal had chosen her as Grids opponent. A proper fight could be established.

Finally... Im finally at the same eye level as you, Grid.

The twisted longing distorted Roses expression in an even more grotesque manner. It was a moment that sent chills down the viewers spine.

Rose sped forward. She left dozens and hundreds of layers of afterimages. The demon sword in her hand carved dark lines along the path she passed. It was a line that cut through the landscape. It was the sight of a new horizon overlapping on the horizon.

It was very unrealistic. In the first place, the whole situation was out of touch with reality.

A player who became a great demonthe beam of magic emanating from her fingertips as she wielded the demon sword that Baal directly handed to her turned everything she touched to ashes. It was completely beyond the realm of a player.

It was clearly threatening to Grid. The result couldnt be predicted at all. The situation itself was wrong, so it didnt seem strange if Grid was defeated like this.

The baptism of magic that Rose fired grazed Grids body every time. Rose hadnt reached the realm of an Absolute even though she obtained Baals buff directly. It was nearly impossible for her attacks to reach Grid in the first place.

However, the demon sword imbued with Baals will was different. It relentlessly pursued Grid, who dodged with spectacular movements, and succeeded in cutting his chest. Baals magic power that was concentrated on the demon sword swelled greatly.

It was as if the sun was rising. It was the precursor of an explosion that would devour the whole area.

Ah.

At the entrance of Baals cityJishuka and Vantner lamented as they were using the evil eyes king as a shield to suppress Asuras head. It was because they witnessed the crisis of Grid with their vision that was in the transcendent realm.

Grid was fading. His orange divinity was being swallowed up by the black sun of the demon sword. The attack completed at Roses fingertips was undoubtedly Baals strength.

It was a time when everyone in the world realized it and despaired. In the midst of the black sun, the remnants of the orange divinity that was being extinguished shook. It was a feeble movement like a candle just about to go out.

The result was great.

Cutting something in half.

Defying the Natural Order, made by Grid to bring down the sky, easily cut apart the artificial sun made by a great demon.

The black sun split in half. The vast amount of magic power that shouldve caused an explosion soon scattered helplessly in all directions.

Roses head floated through the black haze. It was separated from her body. She wandered around with a shocked expression before turning to ashes. The ashes created by her death didnt soar into the sky. It was absorbed by Baal, who was approaching from right behind her.

A smile spread across Baals face as he stared at Grid with bright eyes.

This type of armor doesnt accumulate damage. As expected, there were restrictions. This is the way it should be.

Roses death only benefited Baal. Baals attitude changed actively because he grasped Grids state in the short time she was active.

Shit. Grid frowned. He originally meant to buy time, but he failed. The power of the demon sword wielded by Rose was so strong that he was forced to fight back, killing Rose with a single blow. The cost was disastrous. Baals nails penetrated his absolute defense and struck Grids face. His curved fingers grabbed Grids chin and snapped his neck.

Grid counterattacked. Due to his strangely curved vision, he couldnt discern Baals location with his eyes. He just relied on his artificial senses to attack. Defying the Natural Order was so powerful even with a basic hit. Baals flesh was peeled off, his bones were crushed, and blood gushed out.

Nevertheless, it wasnt enough power to lead to death. Baals superfast regeneration instantly healed the wounds.

You cant die? Ill check for myself if it is true.

Baal was immune to the five fusion sword dances and below. Therefore, there was no reason to be too afraid of a counterattack by Grid.

After kicking Grid off, he shot a beam of magic power that occupied Grids back, forcing him to consume an action to cut the beam. Then he hit the top of Grids head with his elbow and repeatedly cut him with the summoned demon sword.

Baals power and speed pressing down on Grid were the same as the beginning. On the other hand, Grid became faster and stronger than the beginning. Even so, he couldnt help accumulating wounds. The tide of the fight gradually turned in Baals favor.

This was until Evil Dragon Bunhelier, whose presence had faded to the point where people had forgotten him, arrived. A mouse ran to the side of Grids face as he landed on the ground and shouted, Get on! Squeak!

It was a real mouse.

To be more precise, it was Bunhelier, who polymorphed into a mouse. The great Old Dragon had become as small as possible in order to completely hide his appearance. He hid his magic power and looked at the situation. Then he saw an opportunity and ran in.

This is our chance! Squeak! Quickly!

......

Grid was about to ask if he was embarrassed, but stopped. In the first place, there was little difference between a human and a mouse in the cognition of Old Dragons.

I dont think that is the case?

Bunhelier had a history of mating with human women and having children. There was no way he would treat humans and mice equally. If he did, there would be a serious problem.

...No, it didnt matter now.

Grid shook off all the ridiculous thoughts that came to mind and turned around while lying on the ground. He lay his back on top of Bunheliers small, chubby body.

Baal didnt notice at all. In the first place, Baal believed that Bunhelier had escaped from this place. It was because the nose of an Old Dragon was pointed higher than the celestial gods. He would be ashamed by the fact that he was shackled by magic the moment he appeared and wouldve left. Baal never imagined that he would be looking for an opportunity after turning into a mouse.

......?!

Baals eyes widened as he aimed the demon sword with condensed magic power at Grid. Grid, who had been rolling across the ground just now, was right in front of him.

A storm blewit was a wild wind created by the flapping of the wings of Evil Dragon Bunhelier, who revealed his true body. The surface of Defying the Natural Order glowed red. The heat of the Red Phoenix rekindled the flames of the Fire Dragon Trauka. It had the effect of drastically reducing Baals fire resistance and magic resistance. Furthermore, reflective damage was applied proportional to Grids magic power, willpower, and weapon damage.

After finally borrowing the power of the activated Dragon Knight, Grids six fusion sword dance mangled the weakened Baal. Baal wasnt able to easily cope with the form of Defying the Natural Order that kept changing according to the sword path.

Disintegrate and Meteor launched a series of bombardments. Baals body was shattered, pierced, and crushed, and he didnt have any time to regenerate.

[All your stats are tripled with the effect of Dragon Knight.]

[There is an 85% chance of Defying the Natural Order neutralizing the targets defense skills, magic, and powers.]

[The effect of Defying the Natural Order has greatly increased the damage dealt to a great demon.]

[The effect of Defying the Natural Order has greatly increased the weapon damage in dark places.]

The damage increase effect was repeatedly stacked up.

...Kuaaakl!

Baal died again.

It wasnt over. He immediately overcame death and first activated a curse spell. It was a curse that only applied to Bunhelier. It was intended to kick Bunhelier completely out of hell after he dared to reappear and interfere. However, no target was specified. The curse spell didnt find Bunhelier and scattered pointlessly.

Squeak squeak!

The cry of a mouse was heard in the distance...

Before he knew it, Grid was alone again and trying to pretend he didnt know anything.
