Overgeared

Chapter 1757

Grid’s fusion sword dance was a chained form. It was a fusion sword dance by combining two or more sword dances and it was difficult to expect a complete skill effect unless all parts of the sword dance hit the target.

The beginning and the middle—this was the basis for the Specter easily withstanding the bombardment of the six fusion sword dance. She blocked most of Grid’s sword dances midway through.

Even at the moment when the Pinnacle sword dance trajectory was allowed, the next sword trajectory would be read and evaded or defended against in advance. The opportunity for Ultimate Martial Art to manifest was suppressed. It was possible because of the power of an Absolute to stretch the concept of time and ignore the laws of physics. It was done with ease due to her power weakening Grid in real time.

Yet at this moment, their positions were reversed. Grid regained his status due to Blockade’s effect, while the Specter weakened rapidly. It was the aftermath of feeling threatened by Grid and the trump card she used becoming useless due to Muller.

“...You. Please bear it by all means.”

Eventually, the voice squeezed out by the kneeling Specter contained her last will. Her thousands of years of hard work seemed to have become futile.

Surprisingly, the Specter was calm. It was because she acknowledged the man in front of her, who had ruined her plan. There was a vague belief that it would be good to leave behind the rest of the work. She also felt relieved that she could finally rest.

It was a fact that the Specter herself had been trying hard to ignore. She had been exhausted for a long time. It was natural. Did she endure the years of eternal life with such a huge fate alone?

‘Just... I just feel it is regrettable.’

The Specter recalled the existence buried in the deeper part of the No Offspring Tomb.

God—a part of the only god she served was locked here. He never woke up, as if ignoring reality.

‘The price of the sin of not reclaiming the world you loved... I will soon die and receive a punishment I will have to endure forever.’

Cracks started to form in the Specter’s hard soul. It was to prepare for her imminent death. The Specter planned to tear her soul to shreds and weave it into chains. They were chains that would be the force to bind the being who would take her soul. It was a technique learned from Beriache.

Hundreds of years ago, the Specter went to Beriache. It was with the intention of taking her body and soul as she was about to die due to giving birth to Marie Rose. She believed that Beriache would naturally cooperate. Beriache gave birth to Marie Rose out of the intention of getting revenge on Baal, and the Specter was one of the few beings who understood it.

Unexpectedly, she was rejected. Beriache didn’t give up her soul, which was more important than her body. She said it would become a tool to restrain Baal, even if it was imperfect. As a result, it became a tool to bind Amoract... in any case, this was what the Specter learned. Maybe if she failed one day, she could also help bind Baal.

‘Baal. It is my death that you have been wishing for, and it will be a terrible curse to you.’

The Specter’s soul was on the verge of being torn apart. Just then, the six fusion sword dance that was mutilating the Specter stopped like a lie. It was just before the final step of decapitating the Specter. Due to this, doubts formed in the eyes of the Specter who had escaped death.

“Why... did you stop?”

Grid affirmed that the Specter’s ideology was wrong. He declared that he would stop her plan, even if it meant killing her. The reason for the pause was unknown.

“......”

Of course, Grid couldn’t explain it either. It was the system forced by the Duke of Virtue.

‘No, is it really forced?’

Maybe the Duke of Virtue just responded to his hesitation. Grid thought from a new perspective and slowly opened his mouth. He spoke honestly so that the situation created by the Duke of Virtue wouldn’t be in vain. “I feel sorry for you.”
