Chapter 962
The extremely honorable painting was a product of chance . The best painter in the present day had been lucky enough to draw an extremely honorable painting . It was a great fortune for a painter .
How easy was it to make an extremely honorable painting? Picasso created the first new extremely honorable painting in 177 years and gained a high reputation, high level, and hidden quest achievement . On the other hand, Grid . . .
[Protagonist of the Extremely Honorable Painting]
[*One time limited skill .
When used, your information will return to what it was when the extremely honorable painting was made .
However, it will only be the stats and skills information . Additional information such as titles, class, status, race, age, and so on aren’t affected . ]
. . . He only received this intermediate skill . This was a skill with a save-point concept . It could be effective in the worst situation, but the possibility of actually using it was low . The moment he returned to the save point, Grid would lose all the stats he had built up . Grid was never going to use the extremely honorable painting . He had convinced himself he would never need it .
However, the story was different on the National Competition’s server .
[You recalled yourself at the time the extremely honorable painting was drawn . ]
[The past memories, glories, and flesh will permeate the present you . ]
[You have returned to the point when the extremely honorable painting was drawn!]
[Your level has fallen . All stats have fallen . Some skill information has changed . ]
The wind blew, and his long hair was gradually shortened . The fangs and claws that were like those of a beast became smaller . The muscular upper body became covered with black armor, and the pair of wings turned into a red cloak . The three horns on the forehead became a beautiful and graceful silver crown . Grid removed the image of the Demon King and returned to his appearance from the time of the extremely honorable painting .
He was clearly weakened . Grid had lost three levels . The blacksmithing skill and Pagma’s Swordsmanship enhanced by the goddess’ blessing returned to their pre-enhanced state, and Pagma’s Eyes (Baal’s Contractor Version) and the stats from the 234 random elixirs were all lost .
The main changes that caught Grid’s attention were how the enhancement value of the Enlightenment Sword fell back to +1, the broken Valhalla was restored, and the cannon on the battlefield had reverted to the form of the God Hands . It seemed that the extremely honorable painting didn’t just affect stats .
In other words, the stats level included the effect of items that were being worn or in use at the time of the painting . Fundamentally, it was a skill to integrate with the figure in the painting . Thus, it was natural to return to his armed state in the painting .
‘It was just a few months ago . ’
It felt like he had returned to a very long time ago . He was proud as he realized how hard he had lived . Grid first invested the remaining stat points he had saved and then used the goddess’ blessing .
[295 points have been invested in agility . ]
[Pagma’s Swordsmanship Lv . 4 has been enhanced to Great Swordsman Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ]
[Mastering the swordsmanship has increased physical attack power by 40%, the chance of a critical hit by 50%, and critical damage by 80% . ]
[The time required for the footwork of the sword dances has decreased by half . ]
“What is this?” This wasn’t a question Kraugel wanted to answer . He didn’t know how to answer it . It was rare for the always composed Kraugel to be shaken like this . Grid’s recovery of his items and his damaged body was an unknown area that couldn’t be accepted by Kraugel’s knowledge and information .
“I will tell you one thing . There is no more bonus benefit I can get from continuing to play the Demon King . ”
From now on, ‘Grid’ would fight Kraugel without any lies . That’s what Grid was saying . However, he didn’t mention that he was actually weaker because he had returned to a few weeks ago . It was only two years ago that Kraugel had fallen to level one, so it would be embarrassing for Grid to make an excuse for his current state .
First of all, he wasn’t that greatly weakened . Most of the points from the elixirs had gone to dexterity .
“Go . ”
It felt like he had finally gotten the right clothes that fit . Grid felt lighter after being restored to his original shape and took one step closer to Kraugel .
“Drop . ”
The sky really fell . The swordsman used the authority of the sky to challenge Kraugel . As the Demon King, this was the skill that had made dozens of rankers fall into a crisis . Above all, the great advantage was that it was an instant skill . Kraugel defended against the sword . The White Tiger threw out thorns and resonated as it clashed with the Enlightenment Sword .
Duguen! Duguen! Duguen!
The present supreme person and the former supreme person—in the midst of the flames and thorns, the sounds of both of their hearts intertwined as one . Grid felt deep gratitude along with extreme excitement . The reason why Kraugel participated in the 4th National Competition was due to Grid’s request . It was his insistence that they play a final match . Grid was thankful to the Kraugel who had waited for this moment, even preparing to take on the world’s criticisms so that this fight wasn’t ruined .
“I won’t disappoint you . ”
“Yes . ”
It seemed like they had made a promise . The two men simultaneously shook off the interlocked swords and made a big turn . At first glance, they seemed to rotate equally, but the intentions of the two people were completely different . Kraugel didn’t deny the repulsive force and instead used it to strengthen his next attack . Meanwhile, Grid used the repulsion caused by the collision between swords to link the next sword movement .
“Transcend Storm Sword . ”
“Linked Kill . ”
The shock wave that occurred at this time—from a blow to smash someone and a blow to cancel the other attack—rippled through the battlefield . On the slippery ground, the two men focused on each other without losing balance . It was like they were the only two people who existed on this planet .
The God Hands in the air fired Magic Missiles, while four swords spread out and guarded Kraugel . Suddenly, the weight of the White Tiger Sword increased, and Grid fell to one knee . Grid activated Fly from his kneeling position, and his pointy knee struck Kraugel’s chin .
Kraugel grabbed Grid’s ankle as he ascended, throwing him to the ground . Valhalla vibrated and emitted a poison . Kraugel rotated his sword, and the wind caused the poison to go in the reverse direction . Grid activated Kill, and Kraugel used White Light Steps—which boasted hundreds of different paths—to dodge Kill by a narrow margin .
It seemed like Kraugel’s counterattack would be blocked by Lantier’s Cloak and fail to hit .
“Crying Tiger . ”
Despite this, he moved beyond the cloak—making the concept of defense useless—and damaged Grid’s body through Valhalla . Grid shook like someone trapped in a collided car .
“Full Moon . ”
The sword moved in a circle like a full moon and devoured Grid’s chest . Blood flowed down as Grid lowered his head . The camera couldn’t catch his face, but he was smiling . He was happy . It was the self-confidence he had been longing for . He could see that his friend and competitor was back on track .
