Chapter 74: Is it Immortal!?

The Grim raised both hands and several black spikes immediately tore out of the plaza.

Karl jumped aside as one pierced through the stone where he had been standing.

Leon and Mira avoided the others while Galzan forced his way forward and swung the burning sword straight toward the Grim.

Leon and Mira attacked almost at the same time but the grim formed a huge translucent black shield formed in front of it.

BOOM!

Galzan’s sword struck first, followed almost immediately by Leon’s axe.

Mira appeared from the Grim’s shadow and drove both daggers toward its back, but another layer of black energy spread behind it and stopped her weapons before they could touch its body.

The shield trembled beneath the combined attacks but didn’t break.

The Grim smiled and raised its free hand toward the edge of the plaza.

The soldiers that had refused to enter earlier suddenly moved.

Armored troops flooded in from the surrounding roads while archers appeared across the nearby rooftops and immediately began firing.

Karl glanced at them before slamming the end of the Death Stick against the ground.

Death Energy spread across the plaza as hundreds of undead emerged between the incoming soldiers and Karl’s group, filling the roads around the plaza before colliding with them.

That was enough to keep them occupied at the moment.

Leon forced the Grim’s shield aside with another heavy swing while Mira slipped around the opposite side.

The Grim finally moved from where it stood.

It slipped away from the blade before it struck, avoided Leon’s axe by barely half a step and caught Mira’s wrist when she appeared beside it.

Mira immediately dissolved into shadow before its other hand could reach her.

Galzan swung again but the Grim blocked it easily and the sword shattered into fragments.

Karl watched the exchange for a moment before a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Well, well it seems it’s time for you to debut, my darling."

"I hope I haven’t worked for nothing."

Death Energy gathered beside him and a tall figure stepped onto the battlefield.

White-gold armor covered its entire body, with thin red seams running between the plates and a huge greatsword resting in one hand.

Against the black Death Energy covering the plaza, the armored soldiers, the Grim and Galzan’s burning Titan form, its appearance looked completely out of place.

Almost like something holy had wandered into the middle of a demon god’s territory.

Even Leon stopped long enough to look over.

"Huh? What’s this cool fuck?"

"You didn’t tell us anything about it."

Leon blocked a strike from the Grim and continued,

"I see you’ve started keeping secrets from your friends."

Karl completely ignored him and opened the panel he had already spent far too much effort completing.

[Sun Knight]

[Name: Lucifer]

[Talent: Rising Sun]

[Constitution: 50,000]

[Strength: 50,000]

[Agility: 53,000]

[Mana: 46,000]

[Skills:]

[Rising Dawn — Sacrifice 1% of Health for an equivalent percentage increase in attributes.]

[Eyes of Truth — Can forcefully invade the mental realm of an opponent who is not more than 200 Levels above Lucifer.]

[Divine Fall — Summons a massive avatar-like sword.]

[Descent of Dead — Forms a domain in which Lucifer’s attributes increase by 50%, while allies receive a 25% increase.]

[Etc.]

Lucifer immediately lowered himself onto one knee.

"Lucifer greets the Lord."

Karl looked over the completed Sun Knight with satisfaction.

"Stand up."

Karl pointed the Death Stick toward the Grim.

"I hope you can take care of that."

Lucifer followed the direction of the scythe and gave a simple nod.

"Indeed, Lord."

Then he moved from where it stood and it’s blade came crashing down on the grim and the shield covering it totally shattered

The Grim clicked its tongue and dodged it while forming another layer of black energy.

"Tch, just accept your deaths peacefully and I will be merciful."

It pushed Lucifer’s sword aside.

"You’re only making them more painful."

Then the Grim raised one hand toward the town hall and aheavy metallic clattering came from inside.

Karl turned toward the open gates.

BOOM!

Two enormous armored soldiers burst through them.

Both stood nearly three metres tall, far larger and heavier than any of the mechanical soldiers outside.

Their armor was several times thicker as they charged into the plaza without slowing.

Galzan looked at them and moved him Palm towards one to crush it but the armored guard punched upward.

BOOM!

Galzan’s hand stopped midway and was pushed back.

Despite looking almost like an ant beneath the transformed Titan, the armored soldier had actually matched his strength.

Then it jumpep and struck Galzan across the chest and sent the enormous Titan stumbling backward galzan crashed down destroying several buildings and crushing several undeads as well as the armoured soldiers beneath himself.

Stone collapsed across the street as his huge body disappeared beneath the rubble.

Leon looked toward the second guard as it charged him.

"Oh, great."

He raised the battle axe and met it head-on.

Karl didn’t have time to watch either fight the Grim was already coming toward them again.

Lucifer attacked from the front while Mira emerged from its shadow and Karl moved in from the opposite side with the Death Stick.

The three kpet attacking it but it seemed to calculate nearly every attack and counter them just as easily.

Karl stared at it in shock and horror

What the fuck is this beast?

Its raw attributes alone were ridiculous, the Grim was fighting Karl, Lucifer and Mira at the same time while barely using anything beyond its own body and the black energy surrounding it.

Lucifer suddenly drove his greatsword into the ground and a concentrated field expanded around them.

[Descent of Dead.]

Karl immediately felt the difference as his body became lighter and stronger as the domain increased the attributes of everyone inside it, while Lucifer’s own presence rose even further.

Karl smiled. "That’s it."

They attacked again and this time they finally pushed it back a bit and karl and lucifer landed a few clen hits.

But the Grim just kept a sky smile throughout it all.

Karl’s eyes finally moved toward the health bar and he frozen in shock for a movement.

[HP: 100%]

Karl looked at it in total confusion.

How can this be!? Didn’t the diary say death energy worked on it and even if he was wrong at that time the grim has itself accepted it movements ago.

The Grim caught Karl thinking and slowly a creepy smile appeared on its face.

"What are you thinking, Necromancer?"

Do you want to know why is your power not hurting me?"

Karl tightened his grip on the Death Stick and the grims smile vanished.

"Let me tell you, Necromancer."

"It is the same reason the Reapers died without leaving a single scratch on me."

"It is the same reason you and the world are going to bow to me."

"I am immortal, I have no end I am destined to rule over death itself."

The Grim opened both arms completely and a massive field opened pushing Mira, Lucifer and Karl back.

"Mana, Energy, Divine Energy, Dark Energy or Death Energy."

"Use whatever you want, nothing can hurt me."

Karl gave it an empty look.

"How long are you going to keep fooling yourself?"

"Or have you actually gone insane?"

But inside, his thoughts were moving much faster.

Even though this bitch is bullshitting for sure here but what is that I am missing there surely is something.

Lucifer looked at the grim in anger and then raised his sword high and tremendous amount of energy gathered above the plaza.

[Divine Fall.]

The Grim finally turned away from Karl, high above him an enormous sword-shaped avatar had formed.

Lucifer swung downward and the giant sword descended with him.

The Grim immediately moved aside but the sword seemed to be locked on him as the grim understood it he formed several layer of shields but the sword broke through em all.

BOOM!

The blade pierced straight through the Grim and carried it backward into the town hall.

The front of the building collapsed as the enormous sword disappeared inside it, burying the Grim beneath broken stone and a cloud of dust.

Karl focused at the ruin and soon the rubble shifted and the Grim slowly stepped back out.

A massive hole went straight through its chest but as Karl looked above its head.

[HP: 100%]

Still full.

The Grim glanced down at the hole before clicking its tongue.

"Tch, it seems you are not that weak not like it matters anyways."

Just then, a loud crash came from behind them.

Leon landed near Karl and staggered slightly before catching himself. The massive guard he had been fighting lay farther across the plaza, its armor broken apart and body completely still.

Leon wasn’t looking much better.

Martial Saint Descent had already ended, and one hand was clutched tightly over his shoulder where blood was running down his arm.

He glanced toward the Grim and then toward the health bar still floating above it.

[HP: 100%]

"Damn... what the fuck?, is this thing actually immortal?"
