Chapter 154
‘This momentum…!’
Neberius was 123 years old this year. Thanks to receiving God Yatan’s blessing, he lived for a long time and had a lot of insights. The covered man changed the battlefield with small actions? If he was careless, he would receive a big injury.
‘Big injury? The slightest slip will kill me.’
Kuwaaaang!
Grid descended to 10m above the ground and then accelerated. The air became turbulent and the earth shook. A legendary class who had the strongest stats and evolved his skills to the highest level with his equipment.
Neberius judged, ‘That strength is a scam. It isn’t possible.’
Unfortunately, defense seemed impossible. He had the old body of a magician, so it was hard to avoid. Could he offset the power with a magic attack? He would have to consume a lot of magic power.
There were separate and wiser ways to deal with it.
‘I have to neutralize it with gravity magic.’
Neberius was a dark magician. His ability to do magic wasn’t simply limited to attack and defense magic, so his quality was different from Malacus. He had the title of great magician and could use magic power of different attributes, as well as a wide variety of them.
“Reverse Gravity.”
Neberius used the magic that best fit this current crisis.
Teong!
“…?”
The moment that Grid was about to sweep like a hawk snatching its prey… He stopped in the air just before hitting Neberius with Kill. Then regardless of his will, he began to rise into the sky. It was the force of reversing gravity.
“Shi…!”
Grid cursed as he floated like a balloon.
His attack was judged as a MISS and the energy of Kill inside Failure was extinguished. Transcended Link and Kill, two of his strongest skills were consecutively neutralized so he couldn’t help feeling angry.
On the other hand, Neberius and the building debris were also influenced by gravity and floated into the air. As if they were being sucked into a black hole, they quickly chased after Grid.
“The situation is reversed. Now it’s your turn to be attacked.”
Neberius’ specialty was double casting. He could complete two magic spells simultaneously with his mind and mouth. He triggered dark thunder balls and dark water balls.
Pajik! Pajijik!
Five spheres of electricity hit Grid’s body, affecting him from head to toe. Then three spheres of water exploded, damaging Grid and doubling the power of the electricity.
“Kuaack!”
Grid gave a terrible scream as his body was roasted. Neberius’ eyes sharpened as he observed Grid.
‘That divine armor resists dark magic but the probability isn’t 100%.’
He was lucky. Neberius felt relieved and eagerly started a magic rampage.
Hwaruruk! Chachak!
Arrows of fire and ice were created in succession and flew towards Grid.
‘It stinks.’
Grid was still dominated by Reverse Gravity and was unable to control his body in the air. If he compared his current state to a PC game, it was difficult to control because his directional keys seemed to be reversed?
Pepepepeng!
[You have suffered 1,160 damage.]
[You have suffered 1,230 damage.]
[The effect of the Holy Light Armor has been activated, resisting the dark magic.]
[You have suffered 1,155 damage.]
‘Annoying.’
He had to allow the attacks. His Holy Light Armor alleviated 50% of magic damage and occasionally completely resisted the dark magic, but it was still a one-sided bombardment. Did he have to be a punching bag like this?
‘I don’t like it.’ He was already tired of the one-sided punching bag days of his past. Now he had to experience it again? ‘No more…’
Grid rotated his body in the air and reversed his direction. Then he flew towards Neberius who was casting a magic spell.
‘I won’t be one-sidedly hit anymore!’
Reverse gravity? That wasn’t a difficult problem when he thought about it. He controlled his body by thinking of the sky as the earth and the earth as the sky. His many combat experiences had improved the thinking ability of his brain and allowed him to quickly adjust to Reverse Gravity.
“You have no respect for the elderly!”
Grid who was falling towards the ground and Neberius who was flying into the sky. The collision of the two were inevitable since they were moving in a straight line.
‘Pagma’s Swordsmanship.’
Grid accurately calculated the timing as he narrowed the distance to Neberius and triggered a skill.
“Link!”
It was perfect timing. The moment that Neberius entered his attack range, the greatsword started to shine blue. But Neberius didn’t stay still. Clack! He snapped his fingers and released Reverse Gravity.
Teong!
Gravity returned to normal. Neberius and the building debris stopped flying up towards Grid, suddenly falling towards the ground instead.Grid missed the target once again and Link only hit empty air. This was the third skill that became useless.
“Damn old man!”
Grid felt manipulated as he landed on the ground after Neberius. Neberius had already finished completing a new spell.
“Dark Storm.”
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
It was the moment when the magic that Yura used to kill Grid and Doran, as well as shatter the Yatan Temple, was triggered.
Flinch.
Grid wanted to shrink back from the trauma but he instead swapped to the Divine Shield.
* There is a high chance of completely resisting dark spells.
It was an option present for both the legendary Divine Shield and the Holy Light Armor. This overlapping effect was the antithesis of dark magic.
“Haha.”
Neberius thought it was so absurd that he laughed. This person was directly hit by Dark Storm, but he wasn’t affected at all? Instead, he was rushing forward.
Pepeng! Peng peng!
He tried to fire magic spells but Grid couldn’t be stopped. The performance of the Divine Shield in front of him was better than any Divine Shield Neberius had ever seen.
‘What great craftsman produced it…? I can’t help feeling admiration. But it won’t do anything against these magic spells.’
Neberius concentrated his magic power on the orb he had been holding in his hand. An orb was a magician’s weapon and insurance. The orb could store magic that needed long casting time, and the magic would be immediately used when magic power was injected.
Neberius currently had two spells stored in the orb. They were the strongest spells that mixed three attributes, just like Dark Fire Storm that offset Grid’s Transcended Link. What would happen if he trigger two of his best magic spells with no time difference?
‘Victory!’
Neberius was sure of it as Grid emerged from the black storm. He had put away the shield and was holding the greatsword with both hands?
‘Stupid!’
Neberius smiled with satisfaction and poured magic power into his orb.
[Dark Thunder Explosion!]
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
