Chapter 40: Grandigne vs Guropaste
The puppet monster that appeared in Guropast's black robe was the artifact of the sixth evil star Guropast - the Death Puppet. Now Guropast is hiding in a big tree above them, and uses the thin lines that cannot be seen on his fingers to operate the artifact Death Puppet.
"Be careful, Miss Alice."
The huge artifact Death Puppet was destroyed under the control of Guropast. Even if Grantigne wanted to protect Alice, he could not take it into consideration.
"...There's no choice, come out, the ferocious fan beast Azamos!"
Grantigne took out another fan from his clothes and opened it. Immediately, a black light shot out from the fan, and the light shot towards the direction where Alice was. After the black light dissipated, a huge fan beast appeared beside Alice, and protected Alice's safety like a guard.
"Azamos, protect Miss Alice for me before I defeat that evil star."
Although Azamos is a monster, after being tamed by Grantigne, it actually gives it wisdom like a human being. After hearing Grantigne's order, it roared as an answer.
At this time, Alice suddenly discovered something strange, this Grandigne Crane, she always felt that she had seen it somewhere before.
However, she felt strange herself, because before she came to Oiris Island, the host of the Holy Martial Festival, she was sure that she had never seen Grantigne Klein, but now she gave people a faint sense of familiarity. What's going on?
While thinking about this, she also felt her head start to hurt like Lu, but it was not as severe as Lu usually did. For her, it was just a slight degree.
However... she herself knew very well what this feeling was, that was the feeling that she had when she had something important. She... seemed to have forgotten something, and... was still a very important thing.
(Lu, Grantigne, why does the longer you get in contact with them, the more familiar they feel? What kind of relationship do they have with me? Could it be that... is it also related to the ancestors of the Nosfire family?)
At this moment, one of the arms of the Death Puppets had already hit Alice directly, but... Azamos also hit Alice aside while she was about to be hit, allowing her to avoid this attack.
Only then did Alice realize that it was not the time to think about these things. Now, in order to abide by the agreement with Lu, Grandigne is trying his best to protect himself, and he... he should also do his best to help Grandigne.
(Mr. Grantigne, I'll help you right away.)
Alice used the sound transmission magic on Grantigne, but Grantigne decisively refused.
(No, you don’t need to help. The other party is a evil star. If you come forward, not only can’t help, you may have to cause trouble for me, so it will be better for you to stay there.)
Although Grantigne said it a little too much, it was actually not wrong. His little strength did not even have any threat to the evil star. The evil star he has contacted so far, from Nassian, Melo, Dark, and now Guropast, are each of them amazing monsters. The strength between him and them is completely a huge gap, and they are simply... they can't compare to them.
"Although the movements are very fast, the weaknesses are also here. There are too many movements, which leads to a lot of gaps that I can drill."
Grantine had no fear at all when facing the fierce attack of the Death Puppet. He easily avoided the attack of the Death Puppet, and was constantly moving upwards. He had only one purpose, that is, to defeat Guropast himself, who was operating the Death Puppet.
Guropast naturally discovered this. It kept operating the dead puppet flexibly and tried to catch Grantigne, but Grantigne's movements were even lighter than he imagined. No matter how much Guropast operated, he could not catch Grantigne.
"I caught you!"
Grantine successfully approached Guropast by avoiding the attack of the Death Puppet. This time, he did not use the fan knife again, but pulled out the chain knife from the dark sheath on his right leg, and attached soul magic at the same time.
The chain knife with soul magic attached to stabbed into Guropast's chest again. This time, Guropast's body finally flowed out of blue blood, and Grantigne immediately pulled out the chain knife and kicked Guropast's chest hard. This kick caused Guropast's body to fall directly from the tree and make a dull sound.
Grantigne naturally would not end like this. He held the chain knife tightly and attached soul magic to it again. After completing this action, Grantigne jumped from the tree, and as he was about to fall to the ground, Grantigne also adjusted his posture. Finally, when he landed on the ground, the chain knife had already penetrated Guropast's body deeply. From under Guropast's body, the blue blood dyed a chilling blue on Guropast's black robe.
“…”
Grantigne took back the chain knife, but his face still looked alert. He didn't think Guropast would be defeated, but... in the next second, Guropast's body suddenly shrank, and half a minute later, Guropast became a small doll.
"Have you used the doll to exchange it with my own deity? No wonder I played so easily. Did I leave long ago?"
This is also one of Guropast's ability to magically magic, which can switch between his own deity and his doll anytime and anywhere. The reason why Grantigne can suppress Guropast so easily is that Guropast, who fought with him, is not the original deity at all, and it is precisely because of this that he can win so easily.
The real Guropast is now without Grantigne and Alice knowing that another contestant can no longer continue to fight. In its hands, there is another doll with the same face as the contestant who falls on his ground.
This time the doll is a doll with the appearance of a helmet, one of the members of the War King's Sword.
