Chapter 1176
Among the single sword dances, Transcend required a very wide range of actions . Momentum and dignified behavior was required in order to depict a transcendent being, but this was hard to express while widening his strides . In addition, it needed to be accompanied by exaggerated gestures .
This was why Grid didn’t favor Transcended Link Kill Pinnacle . If it was Linked Kill Pinnacle, the sword dance was convenient to use because the sword dance naturally linked the stabs and slashes of Link and Kill . However, Transcended Link Kill was designed to maximize the power of Transcend and it was accompanied by an inevitable delay . The more pressing the battle, the more difficult it was to find the timing of use . However, the story was different if he borrowed the power of Divinity .
“Transcended Link Kill Pinnacle!”
The four fused sword dances unfolded sequentially without any delay . Their power threatened Garam, who had already activated the power of the red phoenix and was pushing his resilience to the limit .
“You . . . ! Cough! Cough!!”
Garam easily blocked the first Transcended Link Kill Pinnacle, barely managed to escape the second Transcended Link Kill Pinnacle, and was blown away by the third Transcended Link Kill Pinnacle . He immediately activated the blue dragon’s power, hitting Grid again and coughing up red blood .
Chill . Garam got goosebumps . He couldn’t see why he was late to handle the second Transcended Link Kill Pinnacle when he so easily blocked the first one . His right hand holding the sword was trembling frantically . He felt a lot of pain in his abdomen and when he scanned his left hand, he saw a lot of blood .
‘Can my recovery keep up?’
Everyone saw him being hurt deeply and driven on the defensive by a human . It was the biggest shame of his life . The history of this day should be erased .
“Cough, cough! Kuaaaaaah!!!” Garam roared like a wild beast as he nervously struck at the God Hands rotating around him in a dizzying manner . The currents around his body spread through the area as he dropped a move that would turn the area into a pile of ashes . It was intended to obliterate all humans who witnessed his humiliation .
However, his intentions were for naught . It was because the players did their best to protect the people of Kars . Dozens of people’s lives were saved when battle gears and magic were used to prevent a single lightning strike . This caused Garam’s face to distort like a demon .
“Trivial—cough! You!!” In the midst of this extreme wrath, Garam was calm . He recalled the load that occurred when the power of the sacred creatures was used simultaneously and first activated the energy of the blue dragon . Then he waited and raised the power of the red phoenix to the limit as Grid blew away the attack made of intangible winds .
It was intended to maximize the recovery power of the red phoenix in his body . Grid maintained a constant distance from Garam and summoned the Storm of the Fire God . It was a storm of intense flames that engulfed the area . Garam sensed the aura of the red phoenix from the storm and burst out laughing .
“Hahat! Kuhahahat! You’re really ridiculously stupid!”
The reason why the flames of the red phoenix never goes out was because they had a strong vitality . Yes, vitality . This meant that it was a beneficial power according to its use . This was very tasty prey for Garam, who activated the aura of the red phoenix .
‘I’ll eat it!’
Garam took a deep breath . He planned to absorb all the red phoenix flames summoned by Grid and use them as his vitality . However . . .
‘What?’
The nature of the flames sucked deep into his lungs was different . No, the purity was different . The pure red phoenix flames contained a strong willpower . The willpower showed a terrible killing intent toward Garam .
‘Red phoenix . . . ! Is it the red phoenix?!’
Garam stared at the pillars of fire and then glanced back at Grid . The presence of the red phoenix preparing for resurrection was strengthening . Garam’s Red Phoenix Breath was being assimilated into its essence . Garam realized that the red phoenix was rejecting him . He could no longer fully use the aura of the red phoenix until the red phoenix was fully sealed .
A painful burst of shock caused Garam’s eyes to shake . Garam’s lungs that swallowed the flames were torn apart .
“Ugh . . . !” Garam cursed and held his breath .
The moment he exhaled, his blood burned and his heart felt like it was exploding . Finally . . .
[The target is under the influence of the Storm of the Fire God and his recovery attempt has failed . ]
[The effect of Rage of the Fire God has cursed the target with 15,000 fixed damage and reversed the healing effect . ]
Grid’s face became rosy as he checked the notification windows . Unlike Garam who failed in recovery, Grid saw hope as he recovered from his wounds by drinking a potion .
‘Garam has noticed the effects of Storm of the Fire God . He won’t be active during the storm . ’
He could buy time by maintaining a distance from the storm while ensuring that Garam couldn’t leave the storm . The mana consumed in exchange for maintaining the Storm of the Fire God wasn’t a problem . Grid had the Ring of Absurdity and the inherent ability of Storm of the Fire God itself had the effect of increasing the healing effect of allies by 20%, including the ‘caster . ’
That’s right—the effect of mana recovery potions also increased while maintaining the Storm of the Fire God . Based on the potion recovery, the cooldown, and the mana cost, Grid would be able to maintain the Storm of the Fire God for at least 40 minutes . Those 40 minutes would be **** for Garam .
[The scholars and academics [1] of the Cho Kingdom are accelerating the resurrection of the red phoenix . ]
[The time remaining to resurrect the red phoenix is significantly reduced . ]
[The time remaining to the resurrection of the red phoenix is 54 minutes . ]
‘I can do it . I can hold on . ’
As always, Grid wasn’t alone . All the people of the Cho Kingdom, including the Cho king, had the same aspirations as Grid and were doing their best to revive the red phoenix . Hundreds of players were also helping him .
‘Garam, the path you’ve walked is wrong . ’
This is the way I’m walking . The difference between you and myself, who is helped by so many people, proves it .
The moment that Grid gained courage . . .
“Daring to make that expression . . . ” Garam’s eyes widened as he glanced between Grid blocking his path and the pillars of fire soaring behind Grid . Steam rose around Garam’s body . The power of the black tortoise, who presided over water and death, started to quench the heat of the Storm of the Fire God .
“ . . . !?”
Grid saw the power of the black tortoise and his expression stiffened . He quickly raised his sword as Garam appeared in front of his nose and attacked . The soft sword swept over Grid’s cheek . “I am a **** . You can’t restrain me with anything but death . ”
The flames split from side to side and looked like the wings of the red phoenix . Looking at Garam’s appearance, who could deny that he wasn’t a god? The soft sword passed by Grid’s cheeks and penetrated his left collarbone .
“Kkuk . . . !”
The aura of the black tortoise was a poison that corroded objects and withered life . The durability of all of Grid’s armor, including Valhalla, was greatly damaged by Garam’s blow . The dark energy ejected from the spinning Garam as he recovered his sword struck Grid and blew him away .
Grid looked like a mess as he crashed into the ground and rolled several times . His pained face was covered with sweat and the blood flowing down from his mouth made him suspect he was poisoned . Garam’s mouth curved up because he didn’t know Khan’s will made Grid completely resistant to poison .
“Today, I will become perfect . ”
Grid was really qualified to be a **** . If Garam succeeded in getting rid of Grid and prevented the resurrection of the red phoenix, he would prove that he was a real **** . Spit . Garam spat the blood in his mouth and raised his sword again . He denied that he felt a bit of fear a little while ago . He prepared to become perfect by slashing the neck of Grid, who witnessed him in a terrible state .
“Come to think of it, you are a necessary existence for me, Grid . ”
Be the sacrifice to make me complete . That is who you are .
Garam made a deep smile and lowered his sword . At the same time, Grid’s body surrounded by flames split into several copies . It was Belial’s power of Queen’s Distortion activated in combination with the flames of willpower . It was a great technique that dazzled the eyes and minds of others .
Garam’s soft sword swung faster than the eye, drawing a circle to cut down all of Grid’s clones . However, they weren’t cut due to Berith’s Automatic Transformation . Grid was spared a fatal blow thanks to the metal shield that was automatically generated in real time, reducing Garam’s damage .
“You’re really tenacious . ” Garam had regained his composure at the thought of victory . Now his expression once again changed . Grid’s attitude of enduring to the end without giving up offended him . “You can never beat me . Why don’t you give up? Do you really think you can beat me?”
“ . . . Not even once . ”
“ . . . ?”
“I never thought that I could beat you . ”
“Then why . . . ”
Garam was intrigued by Grid’s honest confession and paused for a moment to listen . He suddenly felt something strange . The blood flowing from Grid’s mouth was red .
‘He wasn’t affected by the black tortoise’s poison?’
How could he resist the poison of a **** who presided over death? He was truly sinister . Dragging this out longer wasn’t good . This guy still had strength remaining . Garam felt anxiety .
“Keen Insight . ” At this moment, Grid contemplated Garam’s state .
“ . . . !?”
There was an unpleasant feeling like every detail was being dug out . Garam felt like this for the first time in his life and instinctively changed the trajectory of his sword . However, the change was one of the future paths that Keen Insight had read . A move that integrated attack and defense—one of Garam’s secret techniques was smashed by Grid’s blow that carried Mercedes’ power .
