Chapter 1380 1380. Mission Accomplished

When Jack rushed toward Master after finding out what Master was up to, Grace was confused at first. She only saw Jack flying toward the divine heritage. She couldn't see Master. But her keen eyesight noticed the seal around the divine heritage was peeling off little by little. She understood then that something was wrong.
Her Angelic Possession had just come off cooldown after using it to fight the happy dolls earlier. She immediately activated that skill and followed Jack to the divine heritage.𝐧𝑜𝒱𝖊𝓁𝔲𝐬𝚋.𝑐𝐎𝓂
When Jack suddenly turned back to save Talia. She was conflicted about whether to follow Jack back. But she quickly decided that it was better if she left Talia to Jack and she went to protect the divine heritage instead. So, she continued onward.
She couldn't see Master. She didn't even know it was Master that was there. But after coming into range, her mana sense quickly picked up on the invisible person.
Without hesitation, she used Judgement Strike toward the invisible person.
Master appeared then.
He appeared because he was casting a spell using one hand. Once he saw Jack come toward him, he was ready. He had one hand continued undoing the seal and the other hand holding a magic staff ready to cast a spell.
Aside from the rune diagram to extract the divine heritage from Euphosine, Master had prepared another rune diagram. If he let the seal that trapped this divine heritage run its course, it would still take a few more hours. Hence, he had prepared a second rune diagram that could undo the seal so he could get the divine heritage early.
This had always been his plan. He knew whatever the outcome of this battle, neither Jack nor Euphosine would let him leave with this divine heritage. Thus, he needed to get this heritage when they thought it was still inaccessible.
He had used his lesser angel and lesser demon to process most of the activation on the unsealing rune diagram. His rune diagram was invisible. Without a deep understanding of the rune diagram, what his two minions did in the commoners' eyes was just them moving around senselessly. And he knew within this hall, he was the only player with that kind of knowledge.
When the process was almost completed, he commanded Aglea to self-destruct using her Light Nova. He again used the lesser angel and lesser demon as meat shields added with some powerful defensive spells.
Once the Light Nova ended, he used the invisibility scroll and headed to the divine heritage to finish the final unsealing process himself.
He didn't expect Jack to find out about him so fast.
He had been gritting his teeth when Jack came over. It would be difficult to battle Jack and complete the unsealing process at the same time. But when Jack turned back, he was laughing as well as scoffing at Jack's action.
'Good will always win? Hah! With how good is trying to save everyone instead of focusing on the objective, it is a wonder that good ever wins,' Master mocked in his mind.
He then saw Grace come at him. He did not worry about this little girl. He cast a spell, ending his invisibility, when Grace was almost upon him.
Grace felt herself gripped by an invisible force with tremendous strength. Her body was then forcefully dragged to the side. She smashed into the wall.
Master kept Grace pinned to the wall using Telekinesis while his other hand continued working on the seal.
Grace was unable to move. Master's intelligence stat was so high that his Telekinesis was extremely powerful. Grace cast her offensive spell then, Chain Lightning.
Unfortunately, Master had seen Grace use this spell before, so he was not caught off guard even when it was not a spell that an Inquisitor should have. Master's one hand that held the magic staff had to maintain the Telekinesis spell, so he stopped the unsealing process for a while. His free hand came up just as the chain lightning came, then Grace saw something that made her eyes bulge.
Master captured the chain lightning and stopped it using his bare hand.
"You…! You can use mana manipulation…?!" Grace exclaimed in surprise.
Not only a basic mana manipulation. To stop a spell like that, this showed Master's mana manipulation was very advanced already. He even combined that technique with his game knowledge. He knew the mechanic of chain lightning and used his mana manipulation to unravel the spell upon contact.
"Hmph," Master simply harrumphed in response. He went back to work on the divine heritage while Grace struggled futilely against his telekinesis.
Not long after, the seal was gone and the divine heritage came into his hand.
"Mission accomplished," Master uttered.
The divine heritage went into his inventory and the entire place was shaken by a huge earthquake.

When Grace was held by Master's telekinetic spell, Jack was getting pulled toward Euphosine.
Jack didn't panic, though. His mind was calm. He had been channeling his mana onto his Storm Breaker. The sword's heart mantra flowed through his hand into his sword. He used Brave Slash again.
The golden light encompassing his sword was especially bright due to mana manipulation. However, he didn't swing it normally as he usually did. This time, he combined the execution of this skill with his martial art, One-word Slash.
He never attempted this before, but his improved sword's heart let him see this possibility. He had come upon this enlightenment when he used the previous Brave Slash on Euphosine. Now, he put this into practice.
The game skill combined with martial art and mana manipulation, created a light that formed a long straight line. This light went past the ice chain that was pulling at him. As it did, the ice chain was cut clean in two. The light continued and went past Euphosine.
Previously, she had suffered intense pain albeit small damage from the skill. This time, there was an animation at her belly where the light punctured it. Blood spurted. The pain she felt this time was manifold than before. Additionally, a large damage number came up above her.
