Chapter 266



‘It’s baffling . ’

Grid . He was a very special person for the Rebecca Church . The hero who saved their church by punishing the corrupt Pope Drevigo .

Most of the members praised Grid’s feat . A big wave was unavoidable if he claimed to be Damian’s guardian . Numerous members were likely to support Damian .

‘That Damian, he was preparing for his loss . ’

It was a deadly move . The elders never imagined that such a foolish guy would call someone big like Grid to help him .

‘It’s a crisis . ’

The election wasn’t the only method that Grid could help Damian . By sealing Lifael’s Spear, it was possible to remove Damian’s weakness .

‘Ah, this is a quandary . ’

Unlike the elders, Pascal’s face was relaxed . He had experience with Grid, and could turn this crisis into an opportunity .

‘Grid isn’t a hero . ’

The reason why Grid defeated Drevigo . It wasn’t for the Rebecca Church, but for Grid himself . Pascal knew the truth .

‘He said he killed Drevigo because he needed to bless the odd mineral called pavranium . ’

Grid was selfish and violent . At the time that the pavranium received God Judar’s blessing, Pascal had peeked at Grid’s nature .

‘The more selfish a person is, the easier it is to handle them . ’

Why was Grid claiming to be Damian’s guardian? It was because there was something good in it for him .

Ssik .

Pascal smiled widely .

‘Grid, I can give more to you than Damian . ’

Wealth, power, and beauty . He would give Grid everything he wanted .

‘So leave Damian and come to me . ’

If he could get Grid on his side, he could unseal all three divine artifacts as well as win the election . It was a great opportunity to become pope with the strongest Rebecca’s Daughters . Pascal had this thought and broke the uncomfortable silence . “Hey hey! Who is this? The savior of the Rebecca Church! Hero among heroes! If it isn’t Grid!”

Pascal exclaimed while smiling as brightly as possible . He praised Grid with exaggerated words and shook hands with him .



“I’m so glad to see you again . ”

Grid was confused .

‘This guy, he can smile instead of feeling angry after my blatant provocation?’

It was an unexpected response .

‘He was like this in the past . ’

Grid had taken the Holy Light set that Pascal wanted . But rather than being hostile to Grid, Pascal welcomed him .

He thanked Grid for punishing Drevigo, held a banquet and gave God Judar’s blessing without any conditions . He was someone to watch out for . Pascal was someone reluctant to make strong enemies .

‘I have to provoke him some more . ’

Grid thought this and responded to the handshake .

“Nice to see you as well . ”

Pascal’s spirit rose at Grid’s response .

‘It’s like this . I don’t know about the other elders, but he shouldn’t be rude to me . ’

Grid should also be aware of it . The fact that Pascal would be more helpful than Damian . Pascal was filled with confidence and quickly led the situation .

“You’re a duke of the Eternal Kingdom? You’re truly a hero . Your outstanding abilities have been recognized . Now, let’s move the location . I will prepare a reunion celebration banquet, so let’s talk to each other after a long time . ”

Damian paled as he watched the situation .

‘Grid and Pascal knew each other?’

It was serious . Pascal was extremely rich . Grid could be tempted by money . As Damian was worrying, Pascal nailed in the final wedge .

“Sir Grid, I will prepare many gifts for you today . ”

“Hoh, gifts . i am looking forward to it . ”

Grid started to show interest . Damian was frustrated, while Pascal showed a deep smile . It was at that moment .

“But Pascal, I’m a duke, right?”

Kwack!

Grid gripped the hand he was shaking with more strength . Pascal’s face rapidly twisted .



‘What is this…?’

It was an incredible grip . Pascal started to feel pain in his hands . He struggled, but Grid didn’t let go .

“You aren’t a pope yet . A pope candidate is asking for a handshake instead of politely greeting me? You seem to be making fun of me, Pascal . Was it a lie when you praised me as a hero?”

‘You’re just the duke of a small kingdom!’

Pascal was a noble of the Saharan Empire . He recognized all nations apart from the empire as small, and thought they were barbaric . He was a nationalist who believed that only the empire should be blessed by Goddess Rebecca . For Pascal, there was no humiliation worse than being treated like this by a noble of a small kingdom .

“What is this violence? Heok?”

Pascal yelled, then became filled with consternation the moment he met Grid’s eyes .

‘You…!’

He was unable to read the emotions or measure the depth in Grid’s eyes . He didn’t know the intentions, but Grid had such profound eyes . Grid’s eyes were showing a clear meaning . A provocation . ‘Bring it on Pascal . I want to destroy you . ’ Grid’s eyes were clearly saying that .

‘A beast!’

The moment that Pascal was feeling agitated, someone fell from the ceiling . A knight wearing red armor . His name was Kamiyan . The 30th knight of the Red Knights, the emperor gave him to Pascal in the hope that Pascal would become the pope .

“Let go . ”

Kamiyan warned with his sword at Grid’s neck . Grid snorted .

“What if I don’t want to?”

“I will cut off your hand . ”

Kamiyan showed no hesitation . His sword moved towards the hand that was holding Pascal’s .

Pascal shouted, “Stop!”

Kamiyan’s sword stopped just above Grid’s wrist . Grid’s eyes narrowed from where he had been able to summon Failure from the inventory .

‘Too bad . ’

Pascal barely managed to escape from Grid’s hand .

“Sir Grid, I will close my eyes to your rudeness today . ”

“You don’t have to? I told you already . If you have a complaint then come forward . Bring it on . ”

“…”

Anger boiled inside Pascal’s heart .

He was the son of a Saharan noble, who had gained a high status after joining the Rebecca Church . This was the first time that he had been treated like this . Pascal couldn’t be rational or prudent anymore . In his heart, he wanted to tell Kamiyan to immediately hit Grid’s neck . But he had to endure it . He needed Grid’s strength to release the seals on the three divine artifacts .

“I hope that we can laugh with each other when we meet again soon . I will always have a gift for you . ”

Pascal withdrew with a red face . Kamiyan and the elders followed him . Grid’s face was filled with regret as he looked at them .

‘His endurance is great . ’

Grid couldn’t attack senior NPC priests first . As long as they weren’t abandoned by the goddess like Drevigo, they were always protected by the goddess . If he attacked them first, the goddess would curse him .



[Goddess’ Curse]

The unlucky stat will be generated .



The unlucky stat was vague since it wasn’t a status condition . Grid was reluctant to be cursed by the goddess . That’s why he tried to provoke Pascal, but eventually failed .

‘Well, don’t be nervous and just wait . ’

From Pascal’s point of view, Grid was an eyesore . He would eventually attack Grid .

After Pascal and the elders left .

Isabel, who had remained silent the whole time, approached Grid .

“It has been a long time . ”

It was a dissatisfied voice . It seemed like she had something to complain about .

‘I hate you . ’

Isabel was plagued with terrible pain because of Grid . This situation happened because Grid forgot to seal Lifael’s Spear .

“I’m sorry . ” Grid sincerely apologized .

Isabel gritted her teeth at the sight of him . “Why are you sorry? Are you apologizing for unsealing Lifael’s Spear? Don’t make me laugh . I was able to save my friends thanks to you releasing the seal . Thanks to you, the entire church was saved . So don’t apologize . ”

She was grateful .

‘Then why is she angry?’

Tears filled Isabel’s eyes while Grid was puzzled .

“You always do this . Why do you only show up when I’m in a desperate crisis? Like a prince on a white horse . ”

Isabel had a crush on Grid . Her emotions were stimulated because she was saved just before falling to hell . But Grid had already ignored her once . It would be the same this time as well .

“You won’t accept me anyway, so why are you acting like this…?” Isabel whispered as she bowed her head . Her words didn’t reach Grid . The problem was that her voice was too small .

‘Her condition is strange . Indeed, she must be in a lot of pain . ’

Grid watched Isabel . Her beautiful platinum hair was now close to grey and it wasn’t even shiny . Her lustrous red lips were pale and her skinny body looked like a mummy . There was a bigger problem .

‘Her breasts have decreased in size . ’

It was the effect of losing weight . Her original B cup breasts were now an A cup . It was really a pity .

“W-Where are you looking? Pervert!” Isabel covered her chest with her arms and shouted .

“What is there to look at?”

“What is there to look at? What does that mean?”

“Do I need to explain?”

“That’s okay!”

It had been a really long time since Isabel had been so energetic . Damian watched her and Grid and smiled .

‘Isabel-chan, you have always missed Grid . ’

He hoped her heart would be communicated to Grid . He truly was cheering her on . Damian wasn’t a rival for Grid .

‘It’s natural for the heroine to be connected with the hero . ’

He was just an extra . He was too incompetent, so he was satisfied just watching Rebecca’s Daughters from the side . Huroi approached Damian and whispered . “Don’t worry . She doesn’t fit My Lord’s taste . ”

“…”

The beautiful Isabel-chan didn’t suit Grid’s taste? It was upsetting . Damian was making a subtle expression when Grid urged him .

“How long are we going to stand here? Guide me to a suitable place . ”

It was time to figure out how to create and seal Lifael’s Spear .
