Grid’s status after the 20th epic had risen to a level comparable to when he rode a top dragon. This didn’t mean that the need to rely on Dragon Knight was gone. It was because Dragon Knight’s strengths weren’t just limited to a rise in status. It was an increase in his stats by three times and the implementation of the Breath.

The biggest advantage of Grid riding a dragon was purely the ‘getting stronger’ part. The current Grid was weak compared to when he fought Baal. He used the immense power of ‘skill cooldown time erased’ with the effect of the Overgeared World behind him, but the power of each six fusion sword dance was incomparable to when he was riding Bunhelier.

Of course, Grid had performed the six fusion sword dance a total of six times. It was while keeping the Sweet Candy in his mouth. He momentarily demonstrated enough firepower to kill Baal of hell more than once. The problem was that Nevartan’s defense and health surpassed Baal’s.

The dragons were the ultimate of the giant and transcendent species. The old dragons were the pinnacle of the dragons. Regardless of the power of Absolute Defense, their stats themselves were the strongest in the worldview. The scales on their body mitigated all types of damage. They weren’t opponents who could be easily harmed.

It was a completely different case...
