Chapter 1052: 1052

A battle was about speed .  There was nothing good about dragging it out for too long .  This was a common idea for raid party members .



The hell environment that prohibited natural restoration was a big burden for both players and NPCs .  Therefore, the raid party—led by Piaro and Rachel—gritted their teeth and fought hard .  The party rushed through the canyon in order to speed up Berith’s death . They strengthened each other’s skills by linking their skills together and releasing the bombardment with no breaks .

The effect of the pincer attack was great .  Berith’s defense and health were boosted once all his stats increased, but it was hard to hold out against the talents representing humanity .  The biggest problem was that he couldn’t catch the timing for a counterattack .

Berith was a great demon .  He was inherently strong and trampled on others with innate power .  He didn’t learn or hone any combat skills, nor did he have the power to reverse the adverse situation .

““You cowards . . . !””

This was how it happened .  For the first time since his birth, Berith let out a fear-filled cry .  Then new magic power exploded from a cliff .  The magic power was so intense that it captured the nerves of Berith, Piaro, Kirinus, and the dukes .  The special magic power became a brilliant light that fell to the ground .

“Ugh . . . !”

“This power . . . ?!”

Kraugel and Faker were seriously wounded, and the dukes groaned .  Only three people . . .  Only Piaro, Kirinus, and Rachel succeeded in defending against the rainbow colored magic power .

“It is a very strong magic power . . . ” Piaro confirmed with his trembling fingertips and turned his gaze to the cliff .  He saw a man with green hair .  The man stood on the edge of the cliff . It was as if the blowing wind would push him to his death .

“Agnus . . . ” Kraugel muttered when he confirmed the identity of the man .  Agnus was the contractor of 1st Great Demon Baal .  His original role was the enemy of humanity .  He had justification to help the great demon who had descended .  It was his duty to put humanity at risk .  However, he had been silent so far, and Kraugel faintly guessed why .  The fact that he would become hostile to everyone alone would be a great burden and pressure . . .

Yet at this moment, Agnus showed up and helped Berith .

‘It means he has abandoned his hesitation . ’

Kraugel thought he knew the cause .  What did the public do when Berith started to go crazy? They demanded a one-sided sacrifice from Agnus .  Once Agnus refused to comply with their requests, they poured out criticisms and threats toward him .  It was already a domain of violence .  This was shameful behavior from the perspective of a third party .  Kraugel knew the anger and loneliness Agnus would’ve felt .

“ . . . I would’ve acted the same as Agnus if it were me . ” Suddenly, Faker’s voice rang out . He held his wound that didn’t recover due to the effects of the hell and stared at Agnus with compassionate eyes instead of a grudging expression . “It wouldn’t be easy to tolerate the people who have been harassing me for days . ”

“ . . . ” Kraugel also agreed .  If Berith was raided, the public would be completely free from the pain and anxiety they had been suffering .  They would be busy cheering happily and not even think about the pain they had brought to Agnus .  From Agnus’ point of view, anger would soar to the top of his head .

Yes, Kraugel and Faker understood Agnus .  This didn’t mean they intended to defend him .  Regardless of Agnus’ circumstances, the tip of his sword shouldn’t be aimed toward them . Grid seemed to think the same way .

“Agnus!”

Was the rising status directly related to a rise in sense of presence . . . ? Grid’s voice was much clearer than it used to be .  The emotion in his cry was conveyed to all .

“This X bastard!”

“ . . . ”

. . . No, it seemed to have nothing to do with the rise in status .  The anger was so intense that it couldn’t not be conveyed to others .

“ . . . Act moderately and get out of here!”

Many things were omitted in the cry .  It was a scene where the terminology of ‘moderately’ came to mind .  That’s right .  Grid also knew what Agnus had been through .  He knew Agnus’ position better than anyone else because he had gone through similar things to Agnus .  He fully understood and was sympathetic to why Agnus would want the Berith raid to fail .

“I’ll take care of you if you don’t quit now . ” That’s why Grid didn’t draw his sword .  He already confirmed the damage that Agnus dealt to Kraugel and Faker but ignored it .

“ . . . ” Agnus’ face stiffened .  Cracks started to occur in his frozen chest .  Then heat spilled out of the cracks .



“ . . . Don’t sympathize with me . ” Agnus’ face became severely distorted .

““Kuhahahahat! Very well done! Baal’s Contractor! You aren’t useless, unlike the former contractor!”” Berith was excited .  Thanks to the brief amount of time that Agnus bought him, Berith succeeded in setting the stage for reality distortion .

““Humans are a savage species . They can’t handle tools . ””


[A million lies have distorted the truth . ]


Berith no longer disparaged Piaro, Kirinus, and the dukes .  He didn’t deny the power they built but used the distortion as a way of denying the human race .  The effect was great .

“ . . . !”

All the raid party members lost the weapons in their hands .  The spears, swords, and various agricultural tools fell to the ground .  Weapons couldn’t be used .  It was the effect of Berith’s distortion .  Those who were bare-handed were struck by the creatures of hell .

“Agnus!!” The anxious Grid shouted as the canyon fell into chaos .  He wanted Agnus to step down .  They had to hold on for 20 minutes until the Overgeared army arrived .  Agnus had grown significantly in the past few years, and his intervention was too dangerous .  Additionally . . .

‘I can’t let Braham wake up . ’

The hidden quest ‘Braham and Mumud’ had a devastating impact on Braham .  Whenever the quest was activated, Braham’s soul fragments were consumed, and Braham would be greatly affected .  Braham had already lost too much power and was in hibernation . There could be irreversible consequences if he woke up in response to Mumud’s soul .

“ . . . ” Agnus on the cliff stared at Grid on the ground .  There was a familiar feeling from Grid’s eyes .  Agnus had made that expression when he reached out to ‘her’ through the window .

“ . . . Kikik,” the quiet Agnus suddenly shrugged and laughed .  The situation had reversed, and Berith responded with a cheerful laugh, ““Hahaha!!””

The raid party was in a crisis, and Grid was frustrated .

“Kihahahahat!!”

““Kuhahahat!””

The madness of a human and a great demon mixed and echoed in the canyon .  The viewers got a horrified chill down their spines, and Grid’s jitters grew .  Then it happened .

“ . . . Hah . ” Agnus stopped laughing .  He glanced slowly at the cameras of the broadcasting stations that were filming him .  “Once the next great demon comes to this earth, I will smash all of you by its side . ”

‘However, not right now . . . ’ Agnus swallowed the last of his words and turned to leave the canyon .

“Agnus . . . ” Grid looked at Agnus’ increasingly distant back with a complicated expression .  The two men were emotional as they broke the shackles of mutual debt .  The next time they met, they would be aiming their swords at each other .

“Sowing Seeds! Harvest!”

Among the people who lost their weapons and were in a crisis, only Piaro and Kraugel were still struggling .  Even Berith’s distortion of reality couldn’t take the sword from a Sword Saint, and Piaro repelled the beasts by farming without any tools .  However, the battlefield wasn’t very good .  Kirinus, Faker, and the dukes lost their weapons and couldn’t attack . They were quickly isolated because they couldn’t kill the swarming creatures fast enough .

““Die! Hahahahat!”” Berith was still excited .  He gained some time and started to show off his dignity again .

‘This can’t continue . ’

They couldn’t hold up in this state .  They would be wiped out before the army arrived .  Agnus’ intervention was only for a moment, but the repercussions were too great .  The battlefield was completely turned upside down .  A new wind was needed .  Yet who would help them?

Grid was biting his lips when a white giant was captured in his field of view .  It was Raiders .  Zibal’s magic machine rose from the fortress and rushed toward Berith .


“Zombie bastard! Now you will die!” Zibal’s cry echoed through the battlefield .  A huge spear pierced Berith’s body .

““Cough . . . !””

Finally, Berith stopped laughing .  White blood poured out, and his health gauge noticeably decreased .

““A human can’t handle this artifact properly . . . ””

However, Berith quickly regained his composure .  He already knew . . .

The magic machines were a relic of the giants .  They weren’t things that could be handled by the trivial human race .  It was as he had expected .  Raiders swung the spear several times with a strong force that Berith couldn’t react to . Berith shook and soon fell to one knee .  This lasted for the 21 seconds that Zibal could control Raiders .

““It was a very cute trick . ””

Berith confirmed the falling Raiders, and his eyes curved in a half moon shape .  He was delighted despite his body being turned into rags by Raiders .  Now all the risks were gone .

““This is the end of the boring show . ””

Tens of thousands of blades started to form around Berith .  He was going to put an end to it .  Berith planned to kill all the humans who dared fight him here and then take a rest after occupying the fortress .  Zibal emerged from Raiders and scoffed at the guy who was already convinced of victory .  “You’re right . Will you cry soon?”

““What nonsense is this?””

“Isn’t that right? Grid . ”

““ . . . . ?””

Zibal’s gaze was directed behind Berith’s back .  Berith followed his gaze and was terrified .  ““Don’t tell me? Those eyes?!””

‘Ahhh, these are Baal’s eyes . ’  . . . If it were Lauel, he would’ve answered like this .  The smiling Grid triggered a skill that sacrificed an item he no longer used .

“Pagma’s Eyes . ”


[Checking the target item’s stats, options, and production method . ]

[The Item Replication skill has been activated!]

[The legendary rated item ‘Legendary Blacksmith’s Hammer’ will be used as the material for the artifact-rated item ‘Magic Machine: Raiders’ . ]

[The duration of the replication is one day! At the end of this period, the replicated item will be permanently destroyed!]


A shadow was cast over Berith’s face .  In front of him, a new giant armed with steel gloves rose like a mountain, and something huge crumpled Berith’s head .  The canyon shook because it couldn’t bear the great weight .  The bodies of the creatures attacking the dukes scattered in all directions, and the tens of thousands of blades in the air dispersed like glass .

““K . . . Kuock . . . ”” Berith groaned .  His health gauge was now at 20% .

“It is up to us to decide when to end the fight,” Grid declared .  His transcendent senses felt something familiar .  Then the space distorted like it was swallowed by a black hole .  The woman who appeared on the stage was able to arrive at the 22nd Hell after several Hell Leaps .  It was Demon Slayer Yura .

“Hell Regulation . ”


[The Demon Slayer has exerted influence on the 22nd Hell . ] 

[The debuffs of the 22nd Hell are temporarily turned off!]

[The power of the 22nd Great Demon Berith has sharply fallen!]


The habit of passing on responsibility for failure onto others and cursing wasn’t only in humans .

““B-Baal, you son of a bitch . . . ”” Berith cursed and resented the crazy Baal who gave power to two humans .

“Light of Destruction . ”

The Demon Slayer’s ultimate weapon—which boasted more than 2000% physical damage, 4000% magic damage, and the effect of ‘getting rid of the target’s magic’—struck Berith’s head .  Berith was greatly weakened, and the effect of the reality distortion ended .  Kirinus, Faker, and the dukes regained possession of their weapons and pushed Berith violently along with the black giant .

““U . . . Uhhh . . . ”” 

‘Once again… Once again, give me another chance…’ Berith prayed earnestly .  He wanted someone to come and save him, just as Baal’s Contractor suddenly showed up .

“We aren’t too late?”

As if to grant his wish, new people appeared from everywhere .  Berith checked their faces and felt despair .  In particular, he fixed his gaze on Saintess Ruby and realized that the first defeat didn’t just signify the loss of his body .  Today, he would completely cease to exist .

“Who . . . ! Who the hell are you? Pagma's Descendant! Hero King! Great magician! Baal’s Contractor! Why the hell are you monopolizing so much power?!””

This question transcended even his emotions of a violent killing intent and resentment .  

“Me?” Grid stood on Raiders’ shoulders and replied quietly, “Grid . I . . . I am Grid . ”

After that, Berith resisted with the last of his strength, but he was helpless before the oppression of Demon Slayer Yura and Saintess Ruby .  The raid party buffed by Pope Damian pressured Berith with an unprecedented firepower, and the Overgeared members thoroughly assisted them .  Every time the Overgeared Cannon fired, the progress of the monsters stopped, and the Snake Guild succeeded in helping Zibal .

“Waaaaaaaaah!” The soldiers of Fort Taleren confirmed the fallen Berith and cheered .  The hell creatures hurried to escape while the hell gradually disappeared .  After a long struggle . . .


[You have succeeded in raiding 22nd Great Demon Berith, who has terrorized the continent!]

[The soul of the 22nd Great Demon Berith has been destroyed and won’t be able to reincarnate!]

[The position of 22nd monarch has temporarily become vacant . ]

[Among the players in the Berith raid, only those who have performed to a certain level will receive the title ‘Savior of the World . ’]

[Player who already holds the title will have the title effect enhanced . ] 

[All players who participated in the Berith raid will receive different compensation based on their performance!]

[The first place in the raid . . . ]


Kraugel, Zibal, and the Overgeared members’ gazes headed to one place .  The cameras from all over the world were also focused on one place .  All of them knew the identity of the person with first place .


[ . . . Player Grid!]


“Waaaaahhhhh!” Viewers all over the world cheered enthusiastically .  Nationality and gender were irrelevant .  Everyone praised Grid .
