‘Um...?’

Grid frowned. Originally, Link was a sword dance that allowed him to dance like a butterfly. The number of attacks were supposed to be proportional to his speed. What did it mean by a sword dance that symbolizes memories?

Moreover, why did the number of attacks change depending on the relationship he remembered? Was it telling him to think of people’s faces every time he performed a sword dance?

‘The skill explanation is...’

It offended Grid. He quickly regained his composure after reflecting on Lord’s sword dance. Lord’s Link was different from his. It was more like a buff skill that empowered the people around him.

How did the child feel when using a skill such as this? The more Grid thought about it, the more satisfying it seemed. He also realized something important.

‘It seems this skill will prove to be quite a headache to use, but...’

He should accept that the sword dance had been changed to be influenced by a relationship that was important to him. After all, this was an understandable development.

‘Maybe it will prove to be quite useful, and I shouldn’t worry too much.’

Grid speculated that every time Link was activated, a list of friends or NPCS he had a high affinity with would pop up. He also believed the shape of the Link would change depending on the person he chose from that list. Originally, this skill had been an offensive sword dance, but Lord had changed its capabilities. Grid accepted that he was able to further amplify that capability.

Meanwhile, Braham was in great shock.

‘He is a monster.’

Traces of battle were evident everywhere around the lair. There were thousands of them, different in shape and size. However, Braham saw that many of them had been intentionally left behind by Judar.

Depending on how they were created, these were fragments of magic that could be used for large-scale spells. It was obvious that throughout the battle, Judar had calculated and controlled what kind of traces his attack would leave on which area in the battlefield. At the same time, he seemed to be very capable since he managed to keep up with Grid for even a little bit. These traces were something only Judar was capable of leaving behind.

‘He is the god of wisdom after all...’

Braham was deep in thought while trying to cast magic on the traces under his feet. Flames exploded, and Braham’s face instantly paled.

He gave an urgent warning to Grid.

-Judar has drawn a large magic circle.It’s already complete and cannot be destroyed or transformed. Don’t provoke him until we find out how to deal with this.

Braham shielded Lord, Faker, and Kasim in his shadow, before resuming his investigation on the traces. He was concentrating deeply, believing he had to succeed in deciphering Judar’s magic in order to become the true master of the title of God of Wisdom.

Grid glared at his ragged opponent. He could’ve killed Judar by slitting his throat immediately, but Braham’s warning made him hesitate. Moreover, killing the body didn’t prevent the soul from escaping. Thus, it was impossible for him to act hastily. He didn’t want to let Judar live.
