“I thought I was going to die.” Nefelina’s words were extreme. It seemed she had struggled quite a bit during the Hell Gao raid. 

From Grid’s perspective, it was hard to understand. Certainly, Hell Gao, who appeared with seven fire stones, was strong. His body might be sealed and he borrowed the bodies of demonic creatures, but the 9th Great Demon’s majesty wasn’t for nothing. Nevertheless, he should be a relatively easy opponent if the six messengers joined forces. It didn’t matter how many fire stones there were. Just remove them. Despite a lot of hardships, Grid and Mercedes had succeeded in the raid with just the two of them. 

Nefelina explained to the confused Grid, “That madman Braham didn’t take action and just watched.”

“Bah, it is too disgraceful to join forces to kill such a thing.” 

“That stone Zikfrector slept on the spot!” 

“It wasn’t my will.” 

“Mercedes took a long time to collect one fire stone!”

Grid would’ve been upset if he was Nefelina. Still, what could he do? Braham was impossible to control and Zikfrector was bound by the Curse of Sloth. The reason why Mercedes’ fire stone removal wasn’t...
