[The other person is in a place where they can’t receive whispers.]

This was the notification that Lauel received every time he sent Grid a whisper.

Grid was in an unusual location.

From the Tower of Wisdom to the Blue Dragon’s area and the dimensional gap—they were places where communication was impossible because they were cut off from the outside world.

Due to this, Lauel wasn’t informed of Grid’s plan when he suddenly departed for the East Continent. He didn’t think much of it at first. The fact that Grid didn’t say anything meant there was nothing unusual about it.

Then he gradually sensed something unusual. Kraugel’s contact was the beginning of it. It was a call saying they had come to the East Continent to prove that Bunhelier was a mixed race. It was nonsense that came out of the blue.

An Old Dragon that existed since the beginning of time was a mixed race...? It was a claim that didn’t have anything supporting it. Lauel started to speculate that Grid had other intentions. He tried to read Grid’s heart, which was surprisingly deep.

Then all of a sudden, he looked out the window. There was the scene of Reinhardt in ruins. It hadn’t been fully restored. It was because Chiyou went on a rampage. The heart of the Overgeared Empire and the place where his precious people lived was miserably destroyed.

“Ah.”’ Lauel remembered what type of person Grid was.

The incarnation of rash and thoughtless actions—he kept saying he would be careful with his words, but he created unpredictable developments every time. It was proof that he wasn’t the type to thoroughly plan and execute things carefully. It would be the same this time.

“He is going to take revenge on Chiyou.”

It all started to add up. The reason why Grid secretly headed for the East Continent after making Bunhelier join him with a forced argument—it must be because he planned to get revenge on Chiyou without causing damage to others.

‘...Surprisingly, this seems like good timing.’

Chiyou might have the best martial arts in the world, but he wasn’t invincible. The evidence was that he wanted to die. It meant he could be killed. He must not be in a perfect condition after being pursued by Dominion and the Valkyrie army and fighting a long battle of attrition. Now was the chance to attack before he recovered.

Lauel calculated that even if they couldn’t kill Chiyou, it was quite possible to inflict devastating damage on the Hwan Kingdom.

‘It is a revenge battle if it succeeds.’

This was why Lauel dispatched reinforcements in a hurry.

Evil Dragon Bunhelier was still in the form of a small mouse. He calmed down and suppressed his anger due to Grid’s words to him. It was an attitude of respect for his friend. But from the perspective of others, he was just an obedient pet mouse.

The vigor of the Three Masters was on the rise.

“God Grid’s wife. Are you going to hide your identity until the end?”

The Three Masters didn’t even bother to look at Bunhelier. To borrow an expression from the east, it was because Bunhelier had reached the level of ‘achieving extremely high martial arts and looking like an ordinary person.’

Every time he met Baal and Chiyou, he turned into a mouse and hid his breath. His Polymorph skill, which was almost perfect, had evolved over and over. Even an Absolute of the same rank couldn’t see through his Polymorph. It was clearly impossible for the Three Masters, who were deceived by Berith's skin mask, to notice Bunhelier’s identity.

‘It is natural that they can’t distinguish between the skin mask and my true face.’

Grid always utilized blacksmith-related techniques. It wasn’t just his main equipment. Even his auxiliary tools had reached a level where they had evolved. The performance of Berith's skin mask had increased by several times compared to the early days.

Grid’s power was almost fraudulently superior. It can’t be considered that the Three Masters were incompetent.
