Overgeared

Chapter 134

The sanctum of the Judar Church wasn’t far from the Dominion Church. If a shortcut was used, they could arrive within three days. But few people used the shortcut. Almost everyone used the main road, even if it took double the amount of time.

The reason was simple. The habitat of the griffons existed on the shortest route. A moment of distraction meant a person could be surrounded by dozens of griffons. Nearby lords adopted the punishment of leaving convicted criminals in the griffon habitat, and those who visited such a dangerous place were extremely rare.

But right now.

A young Asian man and a black person were walking into the griffon habitat, like moths flying into a fire. They were Grid and Toban.

“Toban, what are you doing? I’m bored.”

“Shh!”

Toban, who was tensely spying on the griffon’s habitat, blocked the mouth of the yawning Grid. He started sweating as he said, “How many times do I have to tell you? Do you want to die after being discovered by the griffons because of your loud noises?”

The griffons were level 260. With strong wings and high stamina, they were able to strike from the sky and capture their prey. Due to this, they were one of the top predators amongst the field monsters. Even high level rankers wouldn’t be able to fight back when ambushed by a group.

That’s why Toban was cautious.

“Please be quiet and follow me. I’ve used this path dozens of times. If you act as I say, we can safely pass through this canyon without seeing any griffons.”

“…”

“Minimize the sound of your breathing as much as possible and move in a crawl. Okay?”

Toban confidently lay on the ground and took a crawling position.

Grid watched him silently before frowning, “Isn’t your tone too annoying? Are you trying to teach me? Huh? A slave doesn’t fear his master?”

Toban realized his mistake and clarified. “A-Ah, Grid. Don’t be angry. I just wanted to advise you…”

“How annoying. I’m not listening to you. Crawling? Are you crazy? Didn’t I do it enough as a soldier?”

South Korea had yet to unify with North Korea. It was well over 100 years of truce, but North Korea’s provocations still continued. In order to defend the country from North Korea, the strong young males of South Korea had compulsory military service, and it was the same for Grid as well.

“Have you been to the military? Do you know crawling?”

“The military…?”

Toban was born in the United States. He had no interest in military service, so he didn’t have many experiences meeting a soldier.

Grid clicked his tongue. “A guy who never entered the military is talking about crawling… Hey, you civilian. I was part of the South Korean army and I’m still a reservist. Do you know how much I suffered while crawling during training? I still tremble when thinking of that time. But now I have to crawl in a game? Furthermore, it is with someone who doesn’t even know how to crawl?”

“…”

Toban was overwhelmed by Grid’s words and couldn’t refute them. How could he know that the act of crawling would upset a soldier? He stood there blankly after realizing it.
