Overgeared

It would be a battle of endurance. Grid predicted that it would take at least an hour to raid Hell Gao. First of all, Hell Gao’s attack pattern was too difficult. It was the first time he had experienced such a diverse, extensive, and irregular pattern. It was possible to cope by maintaining the Transcend state as much as possible to freely use Shunpo, but that meant the overconsumption of stamina. It would only lead to self-destruction.

‘Stamina is always a problem.’

Attack power and survivability could be covered with items. The problem was that stamina was different. Stamina often held him back, so he gradually felt irritable. In the end, Grid decided it was best to rely on Mercedes’ Keen Insight. However, following Mercedes’ order led him to moving one step behind Mercedes and it was difficult to find a chance to strike compared to fighting on his own.

Furthermore, his ultimate skills like Sky and the five fusion sword dances struck, but didn’t exert as much power as he thought. Hell Gao’s abilities were above Grid’s even though he lost his body, borrowed the body of a demonic creature, and hadn’t fully recovered his magic power. This was the majestic power of a single digit great demon.

‘...I thought I would die first.’

Grid hadn’t expected this type of development. Hell Gao’s ultimate attack that was used the moment he entered phase two ended up making the raid easier. Hell Gao had all 33 of his spells returned to him and his health gauge quickly reached the bottom. The combination of a transcendent person who recognized all attacks and Flower Revolve that reflected all attacks in the field of view could be described as the realm of art.

“Kukuk...! Kukukuk!!”

Was it because the shock was too big? Hell Gao became bloody and suddenly burst out laughing. Hell Gao’s remaining health was less than three-tenths. It was so small that it wouldn’t be strange if he entered the final phase.

Yes, the raid wasn’t over yet. The real battle was starting from now on. Grid and Mercedes were tense and tightened their grips on their weapons. Meanwhile, Hell Gao lay there and watched the blue petals.

“What a trivial thing.” Hell Gao wasn’t talking to the humans. The words were for the owner of the body that he had borrowed for a while.

“......!”

“......!”

Grid and Mercedes were stunned. It was because Hell Gao talked to himself and then dug at his own eyes with a sharp hand. The red, bloodshot eyeballs were pulled out and rolled around in his hand.

“It is useless to have eyes that can’t even see the speed of the magic that I shot.”

Hell Gao’s body was engulfed in flames that moved like living creatures as his body slowly rose and stood upright. He tightly grasped the eyes he pulled out and caused them to burst. Then he stood still and started to breathe deeply.

“Sigh.”

Hwaruk!

“Sigh.”

Hwaruruk.

Every time Hell Gao took a breath, the burning fire around his body gradually subsided. He killed the pressure that seemed like it would burn the whole world, and became smaller and quieter. Then he disappeared completely.

“Haaaah...”

In the end, black smoke emerged from Hell Gao’s mouth and nose as he let out a breath. His face, chest, neck, back, shoulders, arms, pelvis, and legs—Hell Gao’s shell fell apart. The exposed flesh burned red like lava while the wriggling blood vessels were burning black.

This was Hell Gao’s magic—fire itself. Hell Gao absorbed it into his body and the demonic creature’s body started collapsing because it couldn’t withstand the heat. It was the start of the final phase.

Hell Gao’s vocal cords were melted and his voice became bizarre. It was torn and submerged to the point where it was hard to understand.
