The body of the 17th great demon was close to 10 meters long. It was like a deep cave. The moment you stepped inside it, you wouldn’t be able to escape. The sight of Grid jumping onto him seemed foolish.
-Running in alone? Isn’t this too unreasonable?
-Why doesn’t he wait for reinforcements?
Proof was the right of the weak and the burden of proof was said to be the duty of the challenger. However, Grid was already the best and he no longer needed to prove anything.
“Hey! Grid! Wait for the army to arrive! Just wait!”
Both the viewers and yers on the field were unhappy with Grid’s actions. If Grid was unable to fight, or if he died, then it was obvious that more damage would ensue. People couldn’t figure out why he was in Titan at this time, but in any case, they wanted to rely on Grid. Therefore, they wanted Grid to put his safety first until reinforcements arrived. No one wanted to see Grid, all by himself, in a state of danger against a great demon. It happened when people’s confusion and anxiety were deepening...
Like a dragon, Grid ascended and pierced Botis’ giant body. His cold eyes as he climbed onto Botis’ back were captured by the cameras. Kill—the famous sword dance, no, it could now be called a sword technique—was used and a hole was pierced in Botis’ chest.
“Chwirik!”
Grid was trying to link another attack when Botis’ tail mmed into his side. Grid seemed unable to avoid it due to the guandaos in the two hands of Botis’ whose body twisted as the guandaos moved in different trajectories.
『 Danger... 』
A chill went down the backs of those watching.
Click!
Just then, a shield appeared in Grid’s left hand. Botis’ powerful attack that was made in an X-shape was blocked by the shield.
-It is fine after blocking that?
People who had used shields were well aware of it—a shield wasn’t almighty. There was a limit to how much damage a shield could absorb. In particr, poison attribute attacks had the side effect of corroding shields, so its defense wasn’t fully applied. Especially if the attack of the great demon was taken from the front... it wouldn’t be unusual if the shield was damaged with one strike. This was why it was shocking that Grid’s shield was fine without a single scratch.
Botis’ long eyes shed. “Chwirik. I heard rumors that Marchosias died not long ago. Did you do it?”
“Do you want revenge?”
“Chwi chwi! What a funny human joke.”
The Petrified Shield—it was the shield dropped by the 29th Great Demon, Marchosias. It had a high chance of petrifying the target in front of it. However, it was impossible for a great demon to suffer from abnormal conditions such as petrification.
Botis stared at the Petrified Shield and continued swinging the guandao in both hands. The guandaos’ continuous shes gained eleration every time his body twisted. Finally, it became so fast that it couldn’t be followed with the naked eye. Viewers felt like they were fireworks. It was because they saw sparks every time the guandao and shield collided.
‘I can’t continue fighting like this.’
Grid finished the exploration and stepped back. It was because the attack speed of Botis gained eleration with every linked strike. It became so fast that his transcendence kept triggering. The world of transcendence where he became aware of all attacks caused his stamina to decline sharply so it was good to save it as much as possible.
“It is trivial. Chwirik. You are running away already?”
Botus taunted Grid with his tongue that was split in half, but it was useless. Grid was too familiar with ridicule and usations toward him. The only way to provoke him was to touch the people around him. However, Botis only met Grid for the first time today and he didn’t know it.
“God Hands.”
10 ck-gold hands rose around Grid. At the same time, they spread open their fingers and pointed at Botis.
“Magic Missile.”
Dozens of white shes shot out and drew a cobweb. Botis avoided the sh with the nearest trajectory and defended by striking at the ensuing shes with his guandaos. Even so, he eventually allowed a few attacks.
The nervous Botis showed a nk reaction.
“This type of misceneous skill...”
The damage of Magic Missile was proportional to Grid’s intelligence and was only in the thousands. It wasn’t even a small threat to Botis who had a health value in the two billion. It wasn’t that Grid didn’t know this. From the outset, their purpose was to disperse Botis’ attention.
“......!”
Botis was flustered when the human disappeared from his field of view while he was dealing with the Magic Missiles. Then he reflexively swung the guandao when he felt the human’s presence nearby. Decoy—a magical bird containing Grid’s magic power was cut by the guandao and scattered as light.
Botis’ body twisted in the direction he swung the guandao. In his 180 degree field of view, he managed to capture sight of Grid.
“Chwirik! I knew it!” It was obvious ridicule. Botis’ mouth curled up like the tricks of humans were petty and his guandao moved in an arc at the same time.
“Revolve.”
The trajectory of the guandao seemed like it would cut Grid’s neck, but it instead curved and cut Botis’ chest. Botis’ eyes were filled with shock and amazement as he pulled out the guandao from his scales. Just then, something cut at Grid’s corbone and chest.
“......!!”
Botis wasn’t using double weapons for nothing. In the first ce, he swung a horizontal cut with his left hand and a vertical cut with his right hand. The one that Grid counterattacked was the visible horizontal cut. The vertical cut that flew from an angle was unexpected. From Grid’s perspective, it was a surprise attack with no time difference.
Stagger.
Grid’s health gauge dropped sharply and he started to fall down to the ground helplessly. Botis didn’t pursue him. He remained in the air and opened his mouth.
“Chwirik. Die.”
ck magic power was condensed between his sharp teeth—it was a huge wave of magic power that changed the weather, and the moment it was fired, Grid would turn to gray ash...
Thementators, viewers, and everyone at the scene felt it.
“Drop Dragon...”
Just then, another Grid appeared above Botis’ head and descended as a dragon. Botis’ forehead was ttened from the hit and his eyes twisted from side to side. His wide open mouth closed tightly and his long tongue was pierced by his own fangs.
“Ukakakaka!”
Were his vocal organs damaged by the shock? Botis’ body bent like a spring and he let out a strange scream as he plunged to the ground much faster than Grid had fallen before. The God Hands followed him and pierced him with all types of weapons.
“...Pinnacle Kill Wave.”
Grid’s sword dance wasn’t over yet. Botis’ eyes rolled and became white. He couldn’t bear the shock of his body being struck by the wave of shes and stabs, and lost his mind temporarily. Skills, titles, ss, runes, and items—this perfectbination caused a burst of output that created a new history.
[The target has received 153,277,505 damage.]
[The target who suffered the great damage at once is unable to maintain his mind!]
[You have renewed the highest damage record in one shot!]
[The effectiveness of the title: ‘Death in One Shot’ has increased! Critical damage will increase by an additional 10%!]
[You are establishing unparalleled damage achievements. The protection of Martial God Zeratul has slightly increased attack power, defense, and pration power...]
[......!!]
[Martial God Chiyou has intervened!]
[Zeratul’s protection will be removed due to Chiyou’s intervention!]
[The title ‘Death in One Shot!’ will be changed to ‘One Who Met the Martial God.’]
[The effect of ‘One Who Met the Martial God’ has increased critical hit damage by 200%. Once the title effect is activated, there is a normal probability of activating the ‘Ultimate Martial Art.’]
[Ultimate Martial Art]
[Passive
There is a normal chance of inflicting a stun that can’t be resisted or dispelled on the target.
This effect doesn’t distinguish between the target’s status, race, or rating.
The duration of the stun is a minimum of one second and a maximum of eight seconds.]
[Martial God Zeratul is very resentful!]
[’I am the real martial god...’ Zeratul’s empty cry echoed in the sky.]
[The followers of the martial god scattered all over the world have started to cross the Red Sea!]
“......”
A stun that couldn’t be resisted or lifted—this meant that even if the opponent was a legendary ss or named boss with abnormal status resistance, they might be stunned the moment Ultimate Martial Art wasunched. In addition, they couldn’t remove the stun using recovery skills such as Cure.
‘It is truly a game...’
In the future, Grid would be able to stun beings such as great demons and dragons. This made him happy yet afraid. It was because abnormal status causing skills that weren’t affected by abnormal status resistances would continue to emerge in the future. It was a situation where Grid himself might be affected.
‘In any case, I will stay quiet since I’ve benefited.’
Satisfy was a game that didn’t reflect the users’ opinions. If he protested and appealed about the matter regarding ignoring abnormal status resistance, he would just receive an answer like ‘The system arranged it for bnce. Please think positively.’ In other words, it was meaningless to waste extra mental energy. Furthermore, Grid was in position to benefit so he didn’t want to think too deeply.
“Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle.”
The highest level stun that made the target powerless—it was enough to be the key to victory. If he used the stun first, then he could win even if he fought against an opponent with higher specifications than him. Stars spun around in circles above the great demon’s head. No way, he was really stunned?
Why couldn’t a great demon resist a stun that even a field boss could resist? The wide-eyedmentators from various broadcastingpanies were expressing their doubts when Grid’s strike hit Botis. However, it wasn’t enough to grab victory. Botis’ health, defense, and recovery ability were so excellent that it seemed Grid would have to fight for a long time. At least, if the person dealing with Botis was Grid alone...
“This snake head bastard dares to attack this ce!”
Morse’ beast-like sharp ws cut at Botis’ wounds.
“You won’t be able to diefortably.”
Then Rachel’s spear pieced one of Botis’ eyes. Botis’ poison that spread across Titan made it difficult for the soldiers and yers to move, but it was useless against the dukes.
“Chwirik! Chwiriiik!”
Botis immediately regenerated his pierced eye and took a deep breath. Suddenly, the poison that spread across Titan started to be absorbed by Botis.
“It is annoying. I’ll stop ying and kill you. Chwirik.”
The scales that covered Botis’ body became entirely blue. The violent poison and chill quickly rotted the surroundings and corroded all substances.
“Ugh...!”
It wasn’t just Rachel. Morse had his attribute resistance amplified in his beast form, yet even he couldn’t bear the poison. Grid wouldn’t have been much different if it wasn’t for Khan’s final work and the ck tortoise’s shell. He would’ve suffered a lot of poisoning damage facing Botis and would’ve felt the fear of death. However, Grid had Immune to Ten Thousand Poisons. Khan’s prayer for Grid’s safety was protecting Grid.
“Request to Stand With Me.”
A sharp spear fell from the sky and mmed into Botis’ scales.
“?”
There were more stupid humans who dared to mess with him? How ridiculous was this? Botis raised his eyes to stare at the sky. In the sky above him, hundreds or thousands of battle gear were shing sharply and aiming at him.
‘What type of magic is this?’
No, it wasn’t magic. This was more like a power. A human actually had a power...? Botis felt an unusual force and reflexively took a defensive stance. The rain of battle gear fell like a storm, aiming only at Botis.
Botis tried to block them by crossing the guandaos in front of him, but he and his tail continued to be pushed back, little by little. He was shocked by thend that became deeply sunken, but he didn’t struggle. He immediately used flying magic, but he couldn’t fly.
Grid’s Magic Contemtion destroyed his flying magic.
“......!”
In the deep hole created by Grid using Earth God, Botis was bombarded with various weapons, magic, and fire. Botis’ previous act of recovering his poison allowed the imperial army to finally join the battlefield and theyunched a pincer attack.
The viewers were exhrated.
