“…”

Dust fluttered in the sky. Despite floating fairly high in the sky above the battlefield, the smell of blood entered his nose. Grid exchanged gazes with Berith.

“Sigh.”

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again. The world had changed. It was the minimum preparation needed to adapt to these changes.

“It is worth a try at this point…” Grid murmured and took off the eyepatch he always wore. Hundreds of cameras focused on his left eye. The shadows seemed to split in half around the small point of the red pupil. It was an evil eye.

[Your delicate senses are controlling the rampant magic power of the Castration Eye.]

“Hat.”

He could see the wind sweeping over his skin. His extended vision gave the impression of contemplating the existence of ‘I’ from the sky. The passage of time split in increments of sub-seconds. He felt like a superhero appearing in a movie. His species itself seemed to have evolved.

Grid wasn’t unfamiliar with this sensation. It was the sense of transcendence he had felt when he experienced Chreshler’s past. Of course, this fell far short of Chreshler’s senses, but Grid was certain of it. Grid was now reborn on the same level as the Seven Dukes. 

““What is this? That relaxed mug.””

It was just before Grid arrived in front of Berith. The great demon had already fought a long battle. He had only dealt with two humans, but they could be called his fiercest opponents so far. Berith had consumed a lot of health. In this state, he was hit by Braham’s magic and Transcended Link Flower. It meant he was ready for a new phase.

““Disgusting…
It is really disgusting.
I’ll teach you a good lesson.””

The greatest power that collapsed the largest expedition, including Ares’ army, appeared. The entire canyon was shaken by the wave of energy, and the morale of the wounded demons skyrocketed.

““There is no presence in this world that can harm me.””

It was a distortion of the truth.

““My breath will destroy the forest, and the mountains will collapse with my steps.””

Berith overlay himself with the lie of being ‘invincible.’ For the next minute, he would be immune to all sorts of damages and have his damage amplified by several times. It was the strongest buff skill that frustrated Ares’ army. This was the moment when the viewers were reminded of Berith’s ultimate power.

“I won’t allow your comfort,” Grid declared these words with a red face.

『 …? 』

-…?

Why all of a sudden? The moment when the broadcasters and viewers around the world were cringing, the false buff that surrounded Berith’s body shattered like glass and disappeared. 

『 ….!! 』

-….!!

““….!!””

People were choked by the opening of heaven and earth. Of course, the most shocked one was Berith. Something emerged in front of him as he was feeling astonished. It was Grid. Grid used Blackening in his evolved state, and his speed was literally transcendent.

“Grid’s Sword Dance.”

““….!?””

“Kill.”

The absolute technique pierced Berith’s heart.

“”Y-You…””

The dirty mouth that insulted humanity was smashed. As he linked the sword dances, Grid appeared on Berith’s left side, above him, or behind his back every time lightning burst out.
