“Impossible! Gah!!!” Amman's haughty laughter turned into a scream .
“What? He's not dead?!” Brendel was just as shocked .
Mavekart's Grimoire was an artifact that was placed within the Unifying Guild's sanctum, and it only made its appearance late in the game . Brendel was very familiar with the Shadow Blasting Waves magic spell . One had to constantly control their Element Power to guard against the pulsing Dark Energy at all times, or it would burn away their Life Energy . The closer one was to the spellcaster, the stronger the Dark Energy; Amman's flesh had completely aged and his appearance resembled a desiccated corpse . The activated spell was even capable of physical damage, and it was powerful enough to hurl a large figure like Andesha's dragon form away .
It was nearly impossible to approach Amman or injure him with Energy-based attacks since the Dark Energy from the spell simply flushed everything away . But Brendel revealed the weakness with his longbow by attacking Amman when the spell was in its charging phase .
[Are you fucking kidding me!? Amman is a Priest! This is a bug! Bug! I shot him perfectly through the chest too!]
Brendel was screaming in his mind just as loudly as Amman .
The bishop sounded almost lively as he clutched his chest in terror: “My spell…… No! Mavekart's Grimoire, ahhh, I will destroy you all for this!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire wave of Dark Energy shook and exploded around the caster . The courtyard was temporarily quiet, leaving behind an inky fog with a whiff of decay .
The spell was interrupted .
Amman's full figure was revealed against once more as the fog dissipated . The color of his face was completely white, while the corners of his lips were stained with dark splatters of blood . His eyes were staring at Brendel as though he had killed his loved ones and was gloating about it .
[Huh . His glare actually looks like one of my past allies when I owed him a few hundred thousand Tor coins…… Wait, how the hell did I—]
The youth remarked to himself before his eyes widened . Veronica was opening her mouth slightly as she noticed the same thing he did .
Mavekart's Grimoire had an actual hole in it . Brendel rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times . He could not believe that he shot through the book . That was the ultimate book of evil . It was an existence that nearly rivaled a divine artifact, and he punctured a hole in it?
Amman's lips trembled a few times: “I… . . kill you . ” The pitch of his voice changed because of his inexpressible rage .
However, Brendel merely clapped in delight: “Hah! I understand now, that Mavekart's Grimoire in your hands is a fake!”
Amman and Veronica's expressions changed at the same time . The former was completely stunned, while the latter looked puzzled .
“A fake?” She repeated .
“Ah, no, I should say that's a projection of the actual grimoire . An object that recorded information from the evil book . A replica!” Brendel immediately explained: “Even though that fake replica has the same power, it doesn't have that powerful protection that the original—”
“Enough!” Amman hurriedly interrupted Brendel . The priest could not help but feel a chill despite being turned into an undead . There was a monster here who seemed to know the outside and inside of the Unifying Guild, and it was not Veronica or Mephisto, but an unknown youth .
[How…… Mavekart's Grimoire hasn't appeared in ten thousand years . How is he able to know so much?!]
“Even though it's just a projection, its power is enough to wipe you maggots out,” Amman finally said as his expression kept on changing, “as long as I cast another spell……”
“I see . ” Veronica's ears pricked up, and her green eyes looked at the priest were full of dangerous, mocking mirth: “And do you think I will give you the chance to cast another spell, Amman?”
They looked at each other and made their moves at the same time .
Veronica was no match for Andesha even when she was at her peak state, so she was naturally unable to handle the power from Mavekart's Grimoire . These two were beyond mortal means; Andesha was a monster who had lived for hundreds of years, while Mavekart's Grimoire was even more ridiculous and was created with the Sea of Chaos .
But Veronica was a genius amongst the mortals . As the Empire's Goddess of Combat, her sword represented the brilliance of what a human could achieve .
Her sword that was filled with her pride, a brilliant green color that resembled an emerald gem, was unleashed in the shape of a crescent .
Amman's face was filled with despair .
“Ahhh, no!” His pallid face was twisted with regret and rage, while he gripped on the fake Grimoire as hard as he could, hugging it as though it could save his life: “No, you accursed fools…… I will make you suffer…… Even if I am to perish… . . ”
The undead bishop started to gurgle and mutter incomprehensible words, acting like almost like a wild beast . His fingers started to flip the pages of the Grimoire quickly . Dark Energy suddenly surged from the book and illuminated the area . The book was suddenly thrown up into the air, and the Dark Energy suddenly condensed into a small black hole .
[The area is becoming dimmer? …… . And I feel a powerful pull, damn it, this crazy bastard . He cast the Rift of Destruction!]
No sooner did Brendel figure out what spell Amman cast, the hole began sucking in everything around it . A shimmering light appeared around the youth and he glanced at his feet in surprise, trying to find the source, only to discover floating patterns around Halran Gaia . The lines were translucent, differing between straight and curves to form complicated patterns . The spell from Mavekart's Grimoire was so powerful that it was wrenching the magic out of his sword .
Brendel could not help but cry out in dismay . The book was actually ripping off the Laws that were carved into the sword . If the Magic Formations in Halran Gaia were ripped off, then it would be no different from a heavy broadsword .
Amman was the first to experience the Rift of Destruction . He was apparently unable to control the spell's power and was torn apart into particles . Screams filled the valley as he was devoured by the black hole, and everyone shuddered subconsciously .
Veronica's sword, the Azure Sky, was the next object that was affected . It glowed twice and dimmed in just a few seconds . Her weapon was a Fantasy-ranked weapon just like Halran Gaia, and yet it was ruined in the blink of an eye .
Both Veronica and Brendel's faces paled .
“Mavekart's Grimoire is able to devour everything! We need to destroy the replica!” Brendel shouted .
Veronica did not need his explanation as she had the same idea . She shot out several green waves of Sword Energy, infusing the Wind Element Power into her strikes, but they were promptly scattered when it reached the edge of the hole . The black hole instead expanded after absorbing the Sword Energy . The immense pulling force was making Brendel unsteady on his feet .
“Get lost, you useless fools!” Someone called out with a cold grating voice that came in the direction of the forest .
It was Andesha's voice . She was no longer in her dragon form and she walked out with much difficulty . Her body was covered with injuries, dirtied with blood and grime . The bark-like vines covering her chest was torn off in various locations and her ample breasts were exposed proudly in the air . But Andesha was not a human and did not care of her nudity .
She promptly shot a beam of energy into that black hole, which disappeared quickly .
“No! Stop!” Brendel's face tightened but he was too late .
“How is this possible! It's devouring the power of the Laws! What is this infernal thing!” She immediately screeched with fright .
Brendel wanted to tear his hair out when he discovered that black hole expanded in size . He wanted to smack Andesha's face a few times and inform her that the Rift of Destruction was a Law that outclassed her Element Power beyond her imagination . There was only pure Chaos Element Power within that hole and it devoured everything . Her Element Power could not even dent it at all . Veronica fell over and she plunged her sword into the ground to get a stable grip .
[It's no good . We can't escape because that idiot poured in too much power . ]
The youth lowered his body and tightened his muscles . He leaped into the air with Halran Gaia readied at his side . With the combined push of his legs and the pull of the black hole, he sped into the air even faster than his arrow that he fire earlier .
“Ah!”
“Brendel!”
“My lord!”
“Brother Brendel!”
Mixed cries called out when they saw the result .
“Fuck! You stupid woman!” He roared .
He reached into himself and drew out his Element Power as much as he could and covered his entire body with a dense layer, then activated Power Break and thrust his sword into the Rift of Destruction .
There was a tremendous sound and a brilliant flash of light as Halran Gaia pierced through the black hole . Brendel gasped and all the air rushed out of his lungs as he felt like he had crashed into a wall . His hands were wet as his skin was torn and shredded from the impact, but he managed to hold onto his sword, which was shuddering and vibrating as though a grinder was trying to crack it into fine fragments . Metallic screams caused everyone to flinch but the sword somehow held on .
– Halran Gaia has been given the trait of 'Indestructible' .
Green words flashed across Brendel's retina, but his world was becoming dark . There was so much pressure that he could not take in any air . His sword was sinking deeper into the black hole, an inch at a time .
But each time the sword went deeper into the Rift of Destruction, the more cracks appeared on the black hole . A few more seconds passed and a soft plinking sound somehow managed to reach everyone's ears .
The black hole was broken into countless fragments .
Chapter 198 – The final moment (15) “Impossible! Gah!!!” Amman's haughty laughter turned into a scream . “What? He's not dead?!” Brendel was just as shocked .
