Overgeared

Chapter 303

“Agnus…!”

He was ranked 6th after Yura disappeared from the rankings list. He was originally thought to have an epic class, but now it was known that he had a hidden growth class. He never showed up in public. However, a few top rankers knew his strength. They often bumped into him at the hunting grounds.

“Hey, Overgeared noobs.”

Jishuka, Peak Sword, Pon, Regas, Faker, Vantner and Zednos. Agnus didn’t shrink back despite facing the party of eight. Rather, he poked fun at them.

“I’ve been looking for that lich for 11 months. Don’t touch my prey or I’ll kill you.”

“You bastard!” Vantner cried out furiously towards Agnus. “If you don’t want to die, don’t make fun of us!”

Agnus shrugged. “Bald Vantner. You’re really stupid.”

Vantner’s face turned red.

“I’m not stupid or bald! This is a shaved head! Aren’t you the one interfering? We found this place first!”

“So what? Are you going to fight that lich?”

“Why not?”

“Kukuk! Aren’t you funny? You look tired, probably from defeating the master of this city? Mumud was close to being a legendary magician. Now that he’s beyond death, he’s even stronger. He isn’t something you guys can go against.”

“You bastard! Yet you want to raid him alone…? Oof! Oof!”

“Relax. Our purpose isn’t to raid the lich.”

Jishuka blocked Vantner’s mouth. Then she suggested to Agnus.

“I will give you that lich. We won’t get involved in the raid. Instead, we have something separate to do. Can you not restrain us?”

“I will think about it if you kneel down.”

“You should act in moderation, Agnus.”

“Kukuk, yes, yes. I understand.”

Jishuka was surprisingly passive towards Agnus. This was also a good development for the Overgeared members. Agnus would get the lich and they could concentrate on securing the pavranium.

Vantner couldn’t accept it.

[Are you going to just let him go? Why are we leaving it alone when he is treating us like this?]

Vantner was the lowest ranking member of the party. He had no experience with Agnus. However, the other members were different. They all had at least one hunting ground overlap with Agnus.

[It’s better to avoid Agnus.]

The sky above the sky, Kraugel. Pon acknowledged Kraugel as this. However, that was just in a one-on-one fight. Agnus was king of the dead and could rule over hundreds.

[He’s a man who absolutely shouldn’t be our enemy.]

Vantner didn’t understand.

[All of you have been saying that he’s great for a long time, but I honestly don’t know. Is he so strong that we have to flee, despite there being eight of us?]

[We aren’t running away. We are just avoiding him?]

[That is the same thing! Ah, damn! I’m sorry towards Grid! Ignoring the Overgeared Guild is no different from ignoring Grid!]

[…Speaking of Grid. If the two people meet, they will fight.]

[Their personalities are similar. Grid and Agnus absolutely shouldn’t meet.]

[We need to find the pavranium before Grid arrives.]

Papat!

The determined Overgeared members scatter all over the cave. Vantner was left staring at Agnus alone, and eventually had to follow his party members. Agnus looked at them and muttered.
