After sensing the trio in Room, he remembered the Waterfall, where Grid learned pagma Swordsmanship, she he went there, soon he reached the place.
Ash looked at the waterfall and entered inside it.
"This is.." Ash mumbled seeing the Pagam Swordsmanship, before he become a Great Swordsman.
~A waste Swordsmanship
"huh? It's not powerful?" Ash asked, though it need some activation time their powers were truly great.
~There are tons of waste movements
"hmm" Ash nodded.
~But..if you want this dancing swordsmanship, I will help.
~Just defeat that Red Knight you got and I will give you this.

"what will be the next Quest reward?" Ash asked,
-Defeat Asmophel and you will know. /Madra replied
Ash nodded to himself, thinking, "Even with all my powers, I can't defeat him. I need a proper training ground where both my level and my swordsmanship can increase." He began to jog his memory, searching for the best place to hone his skills.
"Hm, that place will do," Ash decided as he recalled the Vampire Cities. "Not to mention, I can get Marie Rose for myself."
Determined, Ash thought, "So, let's go and get Marie Rose first." With that, he exited the waterfall and began moving toward Rollin Village.
After leaving Kesan Canyon, Ash took to the skies, flying towards Rollin Village with a clear purpose in mind. He needed to find the trio who would lead him to the cave where Marie Rose was imprisoned.
Marie Rose is the better version of Beriache, the Demon Of Predation, the 3rd seat of Hell, who was betrayed by 1st Demon of hell and was banished from hell.
She then decided to take revenge and create childrens who will help her but all her creations were weak, left with no choice she used all her strength to give birth to a being greater then her and this caused her backlash and she eventually died but her purpose was achieved, A terrifying being was born.
Marie Rose, she was born transcendent, which means a level 600+ being and now she is Absolute a level 1000+ being, but she is indifferent to her mother's revenge, the reason is two but mainly because of curse of Idleness, a curse of sloth basically casted by 1st demon of hell on all Vampire species, he feared Marie Rose power and delayed her by the help of seven sins book, an artifact of hell.
and then during the 2nd pope of rebecca church time she was sealed because 1st demon of hell spread rumours that she will harm humanity, Marie Rose just shrugged and got herself sealed, and from that time she is sleeping in coffin made up of Yggdrasil wood.

After crossing the Rauz Mountains, Ash reached Rolin Village, a quaint settlement located near the Vatican, just a few hours' travel to the south. The village was serene, with a fountain at its center where Ash decided to sit and take in the peaceful surroundings. Statues of the Goddess Rebecca were scattered throughout the village, a clear reminder of its proximity to the Vatican, the capital city of the Rebecca Church.
Villagers went about their day with smiles on their faces, while numerous priests, clad in their religious robes, walked among them. Few people chose the Priest class, as it was notoriously difficult to advance in—requiring devotion, fasting, and other religious practices to gain skills and rank.
After some rest, Ash knew it was time to move forward. He stood up and donned his finest equipment, knowing he had to make an impression—like a boat attracting sharks. He made his way to the church, standing thoughtfully as he observed the priests around him. Many priests merely glanced at him and continued on their way, but one stopped and approached Ash, catching his attention. Ash knew this priest would be his target.
The priest's ID was Dong Pao. He was a Chinese user. He followed the rigid laws of the Rebecca Church such as forbidding love, forced silence and fasting, and managed to raise his level to 160.
He grinned and approached Ash. "Brother, is this your first visit to Rolling?"
"I'm on the way to the Vatican. I need to meet the pope for a quest." Ash nodded and replied while inwardly smiling 'Got him'
"Hah... His Holiness?"
Dong Pao's eyes shone sharply at the words.
'Someone who isn't part of the Rebecca Church is on a quest to meet the pope? Even I have only seen the pope from afar. It seems like he is on a S-grade or higher quest.'
Dong Pao's eyes curved into a half moon as he suggested to Ash, "I am also on my way to the Vatican. Do you want to accompany me?"
"Of course I would like that."
Ash goal was this after all, he is part of the pk(player Killer) group who knows the location of Marie Rose cave after all.
Thus, the two of them went on a short journey to the Vatican. There was a group watching them from the entrance of the village.
"Dong Pao has started the game."
"Okay. We can follow slowly and eat up the profit."
They were three people. They were assassin users who joined hands with Dong Pao. The fifth ranked assassin Shay, the 11th ranked Kerb, and the 13th ranked Sniffer. The three of them had managed to assassinate a user who was 51st on the unified rankings, so there was no doubting their skill.
But unfortunately for them today is their death day, today they have targeted Ash after all.
