"Four red phoenixes... The God's Command ability again?”

The information network of the Ares Army was excellent. Unlike Grid, who lacked information gathering capacity, Ares’ information gathering power was at the level of the highest players and the Ares Army knew about the ‘7 malignant episodes.’

Three top-rated passive attack skills, three passive defense skills, and the corrupt passive could be acquired from the 7 malignant episodes. The Ares Army didn’t know exactly how to acquire the seven skills, but they could infer how the skills worked. Due to this, they discovered that Grid had God's Command. It was because he used his ultimate skill two consecutive times during the Belial raid and summoned four red phoenixes during the war against Eternal.

‘But isn’t God's Command activated on a probability?’

Grid seemed to trigger God's Command too often. It was almost at the level of activating to his will.

‘Is he wearing an item that increases his good luck stat?’

‘Or his natural luck is too good.’

Scott and Luck were questioning this when new reports came from the guild members monitoring Grid’s battle.

@ Grid summoned another two red phoenixes...! It’s a total of six red phoenixes!

“?!?!”

"Didn’t he already use God's Command when he summoned four?”

Scott and Luck replayed the video of the Eternal battle. It was in order to determine Grid’s combat capabilities.

‘Two of the four golden hands turned into two bows.’

‘One of them was used by Grid and the other was used by the remaining two golden hands.’

‘Wait...’

'...Is it possible to turn all four hands into bows?’

They thought about it.

“Crazy..!”

Scott and Luck got goosebumps. In particular, Luck received a huge impact. Why? Luck had been evaluating Grid at a level similar to himself.

‘But I was wrong.’

Grid was above him. Luck realized this and could only laugh.

'Kraugel, is this your rival?’

Bultail Plains. It was a meadow with small rocks as obstacles. It was a space that could maximize the strength of the armored elite troops, who had the options of ‘increase speed and agility on flat ground’ and ‘additional attack power when charging 100 meters.’ The armored elite troops were overflowing with confidence. They were confident that they could even win against the empire if it was on this vast plains.

"During the march, no rebel will be able to block our way.”

The leader of the armored elite troops 3rd Battalion, Pastano. Confidence filled the dark blue eyes that could be seen through matted hair. He believed that his 3rd Battalion would be the first to arrive at the castle of the rebel Duke Ares and that he would be awarded with the greatest achievement.

“Duke Ares... I once thought of him as a mentor, but not anymore.”

He was certain that he had transcended Ares. But Ares was an object of admiration and Pastano never had a chance to challenge Ares, making him feel regret.

'That changed a few days ago.’

Pastano was extremely delighted when he heard that Duke Ares was looking to overthrow the royal family. Pastano wanted to demonstrate his capabilities to the kingdom.

“Ares...! Become the cornerstone of my reputation!”

Pastano shouted as loudly as possible as he charged towards where Ares was hiding. The speed of his horse was much faster than usual. He inserted a ghost into the horse, insuring it was never tired and was fearless.

"Kuahahaha! Forward! Shoot!”

Pastano led 2,500 armored elite troops across the plains. He imagined himself burning the capital of the Ares Duchy that he would arrive at in two days, only to frown.
