Overgeared

‘This is a great demon’s ability?’

Four years after becoming Pagma's Descendant, none of Grid’s skills had reached the master level. It was extremely difficult to raise skill levels, which meant that the value of the Dantalian’s Knowledge Fragment was unreasonably high. This wasn’t even all of the knowledge.

Despite the two levels he gained from killing Hill, Grid had been disappointed when only one old booklet dropped. Then his thoughts changed after reading the description of the booklet. Rather than disappointed, he was now satisfied, and his admiration for it was far beyond his satisfaction.

‘Is there something like a blacksmith’s knowledge fragment? In any case, this knowledge would be a great help to Regas.’

Grid didn’t think about how much it could be sold for and the people it could be sold to. He had no intention of taking anything from his colleagues. Right now, he wasn’t frantic about immediate gains. It wasn't because he had become a pushover who easily gave things to others. Instead, it was because he was certain that the stronger his colleagues and friends became, the more they could be of great help to him and his precious ones.

Grid judged that the benefits gained from Regas acquiring Dantalian’s Knowledge Fragment were much higher than the value of a few coins. In the first place, he could get money easily.

‘Regas will pay me back like Jishuka and Yura.’

That’s right. Grid was unconsciously making a project where the Overgeared members would be indebted to him.

The spear reverted back to the form of a sword and a staff. Aliburn was stunned as he watched Grid kill Hill and return the staff to his inventory. It was due to the familiar earrings hanging from the black-haired man’s ears. Aliburn was sure that the tasteful ivory earrings were Dark Bus’ earrings—the ones he'd worn during the mission to infiltrate the Saharan Empire. It was the strongest artifact with the Blackening ability, which turned the wearer into a half-demonkin once every 12 hours...

‘Is it him?’ Aliburn had heard the name of the Overgeared King.

It was impossible not to know the famous person who built up a new kingdom. Yet he was also the person who killed Dark Bus…?

‘No, it is strange to think that he killed Dark Bus. Dark Bus was performing a mission to drive the empire into chaos. There was no reason for him to be killed. It doesn’t add up...’

Aliburn denied it only to be surprised again. He noticed the ring that Grid was wearing on his finger. It was a thin black ring. This was Dark Bus’ Ring, which consumed the wearer’s mana and exploited the dispel function. Aliburn could no longer deny it. Dark Bus’ killer... He had to acknowledge that the Overgeared King was the Yatan’s Servants’ Slaughterer that he had been searching for.

‘He is a more famous person than I expected!’ Aliburn was ready to chew on Grid’s skull.

Simultaneously, some people cheered after seeing Grid kill Hill while others felt desperate.

“Overgeared King! The Hero King and Yatan’s Servants’ Slaughterer!” Aliburn’s scream soared into the sky.

It had only been two minutes. Despite seeing Grid take care of Hill in that short amount of time that the items were combined, Aliburn didn't shrink back. Grid was able to sense that Aliburn was a tough opponent.

‘He knows that I’m tired.’

Grid had already exhausted skills like Blackening on the way to the Vatican and then shortly after arriving there. Having placed Irene and Lord’s safety as the top priority, he had used most of his trump cards at the beginning. It also meant that Hill was strong and Grid wanted to get rid of some of the enemy’s overwhelming numbers.

In fact, the battle was going as he intended. Pope Damian's appearance had demoralized the black magicians earlier, and now they were on the verge of losing their fighting spirit after witnessing Hill’s death. Currently, the black magicians attack power and defense were lowered.
