“T-This is…!”

Even if he wasnt a modified human made to use the Key, Grotim possessed the Bellid rituals power.

Thus, Grotim was at a loss for words when he saw his attacks crumble so easily.

“Eiiiih!”

Grotim flipped his book as if he was going to use another great power.

“Do you think I will just watch”

Unlike Lubella who was like a baby chick in a new world, Weig had accumulated an immense amount of experience.

He quickly shortened the distance between him and his enemy.

“Damn it!”

Grotim put up a barrier and summoned the undead.

However, the summoned undead were normal skeletons at most.

He had gathered them in a hurry, and as expected, these monsters were unable to fend off Weig.

“Fucking bastard!”

Stomp!

It wasnt anything extraordinary.

It was a simple stomp, but with holy powers infused into it, the single step created a shockwave strong enough to smash the skeletons into pieces.

Grotims face turned purple.

In a blink of an eye, the only thing that came between Weig and him was a magical wall.

It was a rigid and solid wall of great quality, but now, Grotim felt like it couldnt be thinner and weaker than it looked.

He felt like it would break into pieces without much protest.

And unfortunately for him, his ominous predictions were always correct.

Crash!

It wasnt even a sword but a single fist.

With that one punch, the magical wall cracked and shattered like glass.

“Eiiiiih!”

Grotim let out a high-pitched shriek.

He flipped the pages in his book again and unleashed Bellus dark energy.

“Withdraw that energy.

It puts me in a bad mood.”

Slice!

With a light swing of his sword, Weig split the book into two.

“Ugh!”

As he tried to evade Weigs sword, Grotim fell on his bottom.

The book dropped from Grotims hands and fell to the ground.

Guuahhaaaeiiiiiih!

An incomprehensible and horrible shriek rang across the area. It came out of the book. Sliced into two, the book pages flapped by itself; and water, the archenemy of books, poured out from the sliced area like blood.

Weig scowled at the energy that he felt from the water.

“As if it couldnt be any clearer that its Bellus dirty artifact, its disgusting until the end.”

Weig swung his sword once again.

He sliced the horizontally-split book into four pieces.

Urgh!

In contrast to the chilling sound from a moment ago, this scream was more desperate.

It was like a scream that someone would let out right before death while gasping for air.

Pop!

The book burst.

Without leaving a trace or a mark, the book that had pushed the city of Porti into fear hid its existence from the world.

“T-The Key…!” Grotim murmured blankly.

His eyes lost aim as if he had come face to face with a reality that he didnt want to believe.

Splash!

At the same time, he heard water splashing from the fountain near him.

It was the sound that Bellus statue made as it slammed into the fountain.

With one more water column, the statue made its presence known once more and sunk to the bottom of the fountain with disappearing bubbles.

After checking the scene, Weig turned his attention to Grotim again.

“The Key”

“He said that the book was the Key for the Offering Ritual!” Lubella shouted.

“Does that mean you cant do the ritual without it” Weig asked Grotim, but he didnt receive an answer.

Grotim no longer looked like he had the will to fight anymore.

“He is out of it.”

Bam!

Weig kicked Grotim, and Grotim rolled on the floor like a miserable loser.

‘He wont be a danger anymore, but I should take precautions.

Weig stepped on Grotims chest and raised his holy power while making a cross sign.

Grothim gasped for air, and then, a couple of white rings formed and quickly contracted around him.

Grip!

The white rings restricted and trapped Grotims body.

‘You wont be able to escape anymore.

With Lubella beside him, he wouldnt even be able to commit suicide either.

‘Its a complete win.

Bellids plans were completely ruined, and Weigs battle was over.

“Sir Weig!”

Weig knew that Lubella was running towards him and turned his body to accept Lubellas flying body tenderly.

“Oh, Lady Lubella! Please be gentle.

This old mans weak back wont be able to handle it.”

‘Stop exaggerating.

We all know you are going to be swinging your sword on your deathbed…

Zich was astounded, but he kept his thoughts to himself.

With his arms crossed, he simply stared at Lubella and Weigs reunion.

“Are you hurt anywhere”

“My opponents were too weak.

How can they be so pathetic They cant even handle a dying old man like me.”

Lubella chuckled at Weigs humorous words.

“But Lady Lubella, are you alright”

“Yes! Its all thanks to Mr.

Zich!”

Weigs eyes finally went towards Zich.

“Are you… Mr.

Zich”

“Yes.”

“It seems we owe you many favors.

I am indebted to you as Karuwimans brethren.”

“All I did was try to do a good deed.”

“Hohoho! Then I want to tell you that you really did the right thing.”

Zich didnt think that there would ever be the day that he heard a person from Karuwiman—‘Tasnias Killing Machine at that—to tell him that he had done the right thing.

‘I really cant get used to it.”

Lubella and Weig gazed at Zich with goodwill and made him feel uncomfortable.

“Since it seems like we have solved the immediate concern, can I hear more about the situation in detail”

Weig looked back and forth between Zich and Lubella.

“You didnt come here knowing everything”

“All I know is what is written here.”

Weig took out a small slip of paper and handed it to Lubella.

It contained information about the Curse on Porti, false charges on Lubella, Bellids involvement, and so on.

Still, because it lacked a detailed explanation, it was difficult to tie all the pieces together.

In fact, Weig had warily come to the city in disguise, but when he saw Lubellas wanted poster, all his doubts disappeared.

“The slip of paper was hidden in a secret spot outside of the city.

It stated that the day after I find this paper, there will be a battle against Bellid in the evening.

So, since I didnt know where the battle would take place, I surveyed the whole city at the top of the temples tower.”

Then, as soon as he heard a commotion, Weig had run towards the noise; and the undead and monsters around the mansion failed to stop him.

“Were you the one who wrote this slip of paper” Lubella asked Zich after checking the papers contents.

“Yes.

I decided to have the battle a day after this piece of paper disappeared because I had to make sure of Sir Weigs arrival before confronting Grotim.

And I knew that Sir Weig would be the only one who would be able to find the paper in such a secretive spot.”

“Wouldnt it have been better to unite with Sir Weig before going into battle” Lubella asked, sullen that she didnt know anything about this plan.

“Then what if Grotim runs away We have to do things like this flawlessly.”

Grotim probably wouldnt have appeared if he saw them with Belri Weig.

Lubella looked convinced, so Zich asked Weig, “What happened to Hans”

“Hans”

“The one who sent you the news.

My servant.”

“Ah, you were talking about him.”

Weig looked troubled.

“I apologize, but I dont really know.

When I heard that Lady Lubella was in danger, I came running.

If he didnt try to hold me back with all he had to tell me about the slip of paper, I wouldve missed that too.”

‘Well, he has done well in what I ordered him to do.

Weigs eyes must have turned upside down after hearing what happened to Lubella; so, Zich knew that it must have been no ordinary task to pass on more information when Weig was in a state like that.

‘Hans really is quite useful.

Zich had taken Hans to torment him, but his servant was useful in many ways that he didnt expect.

“Then, I will summarize all the events that had happened after you left, Sir Weig…”

Lubella opened her mouth to speak when—

Rumble!

The ground shook.

“Kyah!”

“…What is it”

Lubella screamed, and Weig tried to assess the situation.

Then, they heard a burst of loud laughter behind them.

“Its started! Its started! Gods judgment will befall this damn city!”

The voice came from the fallen Grotim.

In contrast to his past dejected self, he laughed maniacally now.

Weig approached Grotim right away.

Slam!

“Ugh!”

Weig kicked Grotims sides, and Grotim rolled across the ground again.

“Did you do this”

The vibrations continued.

It was a great shock, and Weigs voice cracked.

“Ha! Yes, I did this! This is the result of the ritual that I planned for so long!”

“Stop kidding yourself.

I took care of the Key you had, and even that disgusting statue of Bellu sank.

Theres no way that the ritual can continue.”

“You stupid bastards! What do you guys know about rituals!”

They didnt have much to say about that.

Until now, theOffering Ritual had been attempted many times, but they were all stopped in the middle of the process and never succeeded.

Thus, even though they had a modest amount of information about the ritual, they couldnt say that they knew everything about the ritual.

“How could you be so proud about stopping the ritual when you dont know anything about it!” Grotim said excitedly, “The ritual will automatically activate if enough life force pervades the basement! And you cant stop a ritual once it starts! Even if you break the Key or Bellus statue, you cant! The ritual wont stop until it swallows the entire city!”

“But you seem to value the Key so much.”

“Thats because I can only exercise control of the ritual with the Key! The ritual is now activated because the Key disappeared.

But, to control where and how the ritual is activated, you need the Key! Especially a key with considerable power!”

This was the main reason why Grotim had tried to limit his use of the Keys power. If he hadnt let the Mayor control it, he wouldnt have saved the items power as much.

“This also means that even I cant escape from the ritual since I dont have the Key anymore!”

Grotim gritted his teeth at his decisive death.

The ritual had already begun successfully, but now he could no longer return to Bellid and enjoy the fruits of his success.

This was why he had lost his senses for a moment.

“I might die this way, but Bellus great name will soon shake up the whole world! And the Church will remember my name forever! I dont regret sacrificing my life like this!”

Grotim didnt seem like he was lying.

Weigs face stiffened.

“Whats the method to stop the ritual”

“Theres none! And even if I know, do you think I will—!”

Crack!

“Ahhh!”

Weig relentlessly broke Grotims arms.

“Whats the method to stop it”

“Ha! Even the great Belri Weig cant do anything in this situation—!”

Crack!

“Ahhh!”

“The method”

“Hahahaha! Theres no point in torturing me since theres really no method to stop the ritual!”

Weig stopped.

Grotim didnt seem like he would spill the beans.

Moreover, he really didnt seem like he knew.

‘I should get Lady Lubella out of here first.

That was the first thing that came to Weigs mind.

However, Grotim tried to stop him.

“Dont think about running away! The ritual has already covered the whole city.

Theres no way you guys can escape! Even if you try to go out, you will be bounced right back in!”

“You bastard!”

Weig, who had kept his cool, seemed to have become more alert as his words became rough.

“W-What should we do, Mr.

Zich”

As the situation turned for the worse, Lubella filled with anxiety.

Even the trustworthy Weig didnt seem to have a clear plan or method.

“What more can we do—”

Zich came forward and smiled widely. 

“—Than teach this pitiful guy some reality”

“Sorry”

Zich didnt answer Lubella and approached Grotim.

“Its you.”

Grotim glared at Zich with sparks in his eyes.

“You bastard! Everything would have gone as planned if it wasnt for you!”

“Thats probably true.”

“But even thats over! I will sacrifice your worthless life to Bellu now! You should have just left the city quietly when you could!”

“Man, you are so excited.”

It was time to tell him the truth.

“So, do these vibrations appear when the ritual activates”

“Thats right!”

“Then what happens next”

“Water will shoot up from all over the citys grounds! It will scatter Bellus great blessing over the city!”

“Like the water columns that you shot up at the mansion”

“Yes!”

Grotim answered Zichs questions easily.

He thought that since Zich would die anyway, he should inflame Zichs fear by telling him more about the incoming situation.

“Then, about what time do the water columns shoot up after the vibrations”

“Immediately! The vibrations are caused by the force of moving water filled with Bellus energy.”

“I see.

But then...”

Zich looked around his surroundings in exaggeration.

“I dont see any water columns”

“What”

Even while rolling on the ground, Grotim raised his head and looked around his surroundings.

There wasnt a single water column that he talked about in sight. 

“H-How The water columns have to—!”

“Now that I think about it, the vibrations are slowing down.”

At Weigs words, Grotim looked down at the ground.

He felt the vibrations slowly coming to a stop.

“T-This…”

“Should I tell you the reason”

With that subtle tone, Zich seemed like he was reaching out his hand with a knife hiding behind his back.

Grotim was afraid of the kind smile on Zichs face.

“You know those magic circles I drew on Bellus statues.

I told you that they were just a ploy to buy time before Sir Weig came, right That was all a lie too.”

Zich told the truth to Grotim whose eyes were wide open.

“That magic circle is real.

Its a magic circle that hinders the ritual.”

Grotims eyes widened so much that it looked like they would stretch.

“How was it How was that sweet moment of hope”
