Chapter 281
Chapter 281
Earl Chirita’s third son, Pascal . He was well aware of the world’s unreasonableness, just because he was born later in the line of succession . Did he feel frustration and resentment against the world?
No . Pascal tried hard . After looking for a path, he endured the trials and only served Goddess Rebecca . As a result, his fate changed . He could soon become pope .
‘Now it is my turn to reign!’
He was ready to enjoy the end of this unreasonable world .
Then Grid intruded .
‘Grid! You ruined my life!’
He felt resentful . His heart felt like he was going to burst . Blood was ejected from his eyes .
“Kuaaaaak!”
Pascal’s resentful gaze penetrated Grid as he started turning grey . Grid knew that curses were contained in that gaze . But Grid wasn’t afraid .
‘Curse? Try it if you want . ’
He had already lived and overcame a life of hell . Even if this curse opened up a new hell, he could overcome it . It was the firm belief of the growing Grid .
“This guyyyy!”
Pascal witnessed Grid’s unshakable eyes and couldn’t hide his anger even as he disappeared . The scream echoed through the room, then new notification windows appeared in Grid’s field of view .
[You have defeated pope candidate Pascal, who has caused heartbreak to numerous people . ]
[725,477,950 experience has been acquired . ]
…
…
The amount of experience was a huge 720 million! Pascal gave a truly huge amount of experience as a high level named boss . But Grid wasn’t satisfied . He seemed disappointed .
‘I thought it would be at least two levels . ’
So far, Grid always gained multiple levels every time he raided a boss . But now he was level 296, so things were different . The problem was that the amount of experience needed to level up dramatically increased . Despite having gained over 700 million experience points, the experience gauge wasn’t even half full .
This was an unexpected result .
‘Now it’s impossible to raise my level with raids alone . ’
Grid had made giant leaps in level by hunting bosses alone, but now there was a limit to that method . Now grinding mobs was required . Prepare potions, go to hunting grounds, kill monsters and repeat . It was time to experience these repetitive tasks . Of course, the first hunting targets were…
“Heok . ”
The 16 remaining elders flinched as they met Grid’s greedy eyes .
“All of you . ”
The ‘Blackening’ effect that belonged to the Dark Bus’ Earrings could only be used once every 12 hours . The duration was five minutes and the cooldown time was 12 hours . Unlike White Transformation attached to the divine artifacts, the Blackening built into this one artifact was incomplete . It wasn’t efficient .
Now Grid couldn’t rely on demonic power . He faced the 16 elders with pure power .
“Holy Missile!”
“Holy Wave!”
“Great Heal!”
The elders tried to resist Grid . Their determination not to suffer like Pascal amplified their concentration . Their spell casting speed was faster than before .
“Link!”
Grid had acquired one of the hidden pieces ‘Sealed Ability’ and his skills cooldown time was reduced by 10% . Now he was able to use Pagma’s Swordsmanship more often . After swiftly slashing at two elders, he finished with Unbreakable Justice . This was followed by Kill .
Puok!
Despite his companions using Heal on him, the elder coughed up blood on the Hooded Zip Up . He looked stunned at the blue greatsword piercing his chest .
“K-Kuack…!”
[You have defeated the corrupt elder Haiber . ]
[45,908,230 experience has been acquired . ]
[Your demonic power has increased by one . ]
[You have defeated the corrupt elder Sairus . ]
[46,441,000 experience has been acquired . ]
[Your demonic power has increased by one . ]
[You have defeated the corrupt elder Raid . ]
…
…
The experience of third advancement priests was terrific . It was at least 10 times more than normal monsters . It was possible because they were semi-named NPCs . It was pleasing for Grid, but the actual situation wasn’t good .
After Blackening was gone, Grid didn’t deal much damage to the elders . It was impossible to hurt them without using a skill . Grid was stuck with his skills on cooldown, so the elders were able to hold on with Heal, while aiming attack magic at Grid .
Pepeng!
Pepepepeng!
The bombardment of light continued . The number of wounds on Grid increased . The Holy Light Armor was dyed with blood and became rags .
‘This can’t continue . ’
Grid determined and recalled the pavranium that was protecting the prostitutes . It was an unavoidable choice .
Jjejeong! Jjejejeok!
The golden spear started to assist Grid . Sometimes it defended Grid, sometimes it attacked the enemy, doubling Grid’s attack power .
“Kuaack!”
Lifael’s Spear broke the Holy Shield and the Grid attacked, lowering the health of the elders . He took mana potions and used skills whenever the cooldown ended, dealing with the elders one by one .
‘It is hard to endure!’
The faces of the elders were panicked . In the first place, priests were more suitable for secondary roles than fighting at the front . Their ability alone couldn’t deal fatal injuries to Grid .
“Ohhhhhh!”
Grid’s rampage grew increasingly wild . His physical abilities far exceeded the elders . Of course, there was a moment of crisis, but Doran’s Ring saved him . 5 seconds of invincibility and Doran’s ring .
It was like Grid had three lives . It was a fraudulent combination of his class and items .
‘Dammit!’
There were eight elders left . They eventually used the worst means . They took the prostitutes trembling in the corner as a hostage .
“Don’t move a single muscle . If you move, I will kill them”
Innocent prostitutes . They witnessed a scene of slaughter and were now being threatened . It was regrettable . The elders smiled as Grid hesitated .
‘Indeed, it worked!’
‘Now we just need to hold on until the paladins arrive!’
Grid had protected the prostitutes with the golden spear . Thus, the elders assumed that he cherished the life of the prostitutes . But .
“Kill them . ”
“What…?”
Grid once against started walking . He didn’t care that the power of the elders was aimed at the prostitutes .
“I won’t receive any damages even if they die . ”
Of course, he felt bad . This was a moral issue . He might be called a psychopath, but who would accept an innocent person being swept away by the turmoil he caused . Thus, Grid did his best . He took care not to damage the prostitutes and supported Lifael’s Spear .
That was enough . He didn’t want to fail the quest because of them .
‘This is better . ’
The prostitutes were witnesses . As the witnesses who saw Grid hunt Pascal and the elders, there was concern that she would bear testimony against Grid . It was better for them to die instead of Grid .
Step, step .
The frightened elders cried out as Grid approached .
“D-Don’t come closer! I really will kill them!”
Yiing .
