Overgeared

A monster emerged from the space where the yangban’s treasure should be? The monster’s attitude was also strange in many ways. It wasn’t hostile to Grid, nor did it help the two dying yangbans.

“My guess is that the monster is a third force. We don’t have to worry about it...”

“Don’t make me laugh. You might not know the myths of the East Continent but the Four Auspicious Beasts are gods who serve the yangbans. It is unconditionally on the side of the yangbans.”

“Based on the appearance, is this the black tortoise?”

“There is the name ‘Black Tortoise’ above its head. Who will it be if it isn’t the black tortoise?”

“It looks different. In all the murals of the Four Gods, the black tortoise had a white head with beautiful blue eyes. It had a mysterious and sacred feeling, not such a terrible look.”

“Then is this a fake?”

“Of course it is a fake. A god wouldn’t try to destroy the world. In fact, it is turning a blind eye to the yangbans’ crisis.”

“......”

“That monster won’t target us even if we become hostile to the yangbans. We have to choose.”

From the time the monster emerged from the building that should contain the treasure, the high rankers lost their trust in the yangbans. They noticed that it was more likely they were used by the yangbans. It was an unacceptable situation for the high rankers who had a strong self-esteem. They saw Grid suddenly appear and fight the yangbans so they were forced to feel confusion.

“We have to help Grid like Bubat.”

“Even if we lost four levels? What about loyalty?”

The opinions of the rankers were divided into two categories. One side thought they should watch the situation develop a bit more. The other opinion was that they should betray the yangbans and stand on Grid’s side. If this was a normal case then there would be no disagreement. There was no reason to stand by Grid’s side unless a loss was inevitable. However, the current case was a bit special.

“Grid is getting a quest buff. The system is hoping for Grid’s victory.”

“...Definitely.”

The rankers recalled when the ‘white-haired Grid’ first appeared in the world. The white-haired Grid was enhanced with the quest buffs and easily slaughtered Yatan’s First Servant. Yatan’s First Servant had to die so the system gave Grid a boost in power. It was called the care of the system.

The high rankers had also experienced it at least once.

“A while ago, there was a world message implying that Grid had killed a half-god. It is clear that he has gained the power to confront a god for a limited time.”

The exact reason wasn’t known but the system determined that Grid had to fight the gods and win. It buffed Grid.

“It means that being hostile to Grid right now is a huge risk. If we stand on the side of the yangbans and Grid fails the quest, the world view that the system is drawing will collapse and it might be angry at us.”

“Rather than simply losing four levels, there might be a painful loss.”

The supreme Grid had left countless achievements that even the high rankers couldn’t match in their lifetimes. His quests were seldom normal. Since he was given a task that could affect the entire world view, he was given the power to confront a god. The high rankers’ thoughts easily reached this point but they couldn’t easily make a decision. The penalty for standing on Grid’s side was too great.

Losing four levels...

It was a penalty that would take too long to recover from. It was a time when the concerns of the high rankers were deepening. A huge explosion occurred. The high rankers reflexively used protective skills and magic to save their lives, while Grid’s appearance disappeared without a trace. In addition, Dodam stared at the high rankers who were dumbfounded by the sudden development.

“You will soon be condemned.”

“...!”

They understood him blaming Bubat for helping Grid but why feel hostile to them who did nothing? The high rankers were flustered. They lost the option of remaining on the yangban’s side.

‘It is so easy for them to abandon us that it seemed they were thinking of throwing us away from the beginning.’

‘It was meant to be a fight from the beginning.’

The high rankers thought about it only to become stunned. It was because they saw a flash of lightning beyond the thick dust. The high rankers who witnessed the battle between Grid and Orc Lord Teruchan knew the identity of that lightning bolt. In the blink of an eye, the lightning had penetrated the wall.
