Overgeared

Shake shake!

She raised both arms at the start of the duel. The impact that followed the collision wasn’t fully absorbed. For a short moment, Leraje was mesmerized. She couldn’t believe the reality when she saw the sword marks on both arms. If she was the only person here, she would’ve stared blankly at her arms for a few minutes.

“...Wait, let’s do it again.”

Leraje was conscious of the gazes of the thousands of demons in the great hall as she politely requested it. At the same time, she concealed her arms using her wide sleeves. Transparent mucus oozed over the pale pink skin. The sticky mucus covered and erased the wounds.

Grid caught a glimpse of Leraje’s healing ability through the gaps in her fluttering sleeves and grasped the truth.

‘This is the reason why the power of the sword dance is halved.’

The wavelength created by the first part of Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle. Grid hadn’t been flustered when the mental image of Kill didn’t have any effect on Leraje. The 10th great demon, Leraje—it was normal for the 10th ranked great demon to have a good body.

It wasn’t strange if she was several times stronger than Hell Gao, who lost his body, was weakened and came to the human world. It wasn’t surprising that she exerted a mental power or momentum that overwhelmed the mental image of Transcended Link Kill.

...It was just very shocking to see her blocking Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle with her bare arms.

She used the back of her soft hands that weren’t even wearing gauntlets to block the dozens of blades from Link, the wavelengths of sword energy created by Transcend and Wave were blocked with her thin wrists, and she grabbed and twisted Kill with her bare hands...

It was amazing to see her read the trajectory of Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle and react to it, but the sight of her dealing with it using her bare body was even more incredible. Now he was convinced. Leraje released mucus from the skin and her characteristic seemed to be to half and block physical force.

‘This is usually a characteristic of amphibians. Magic... She is an opponent who needs to be attacked using fire magic.’

Yura had told him that the demons must abide by their agreements. At the very least, Leraje couldn’t harm Grid while the quest was active. However, she was a great demon and he would have to risk his life fighting her one day. He had to collect as much information as possible. Characteristics and skills were the basics. It was better to understand the personality. Even if they had the same stats, they showed different battle patterns depending on their personality. He should talk a lot with her.

“Do it again? Your words...” Grid was trying to speak when he shut his mouth.

[The quest ‘Confrontation with Leraje’ has been cleared.]

[Leraje’s Pledge has been acquired as a reward for clearing the quest.]

[Leraje’s Pledge]

[The 10th Great Demon, Leraje, hates defeat. Even if she loses the fight, she hopes it will be known that she won.

If you pledge never to say you have won against Leraje, she will reward you with a gift of gratitude.

It was a piece of paper asking him not to disclose the results of the duel to the outside world. The blank signature line required Grid’s signature.

“......”

Grid confirmed the contents of the pledge and fully grasped Leraje’s personality. Hundreds of years ago, on the Behen Archipelago, Leraje was defeated by Madra and it was even Death Knight Madra. However, Leraje concealed the truth. She didn’t tell the demons that Madra was a death knight and she also concealed her defeat, calling it a draw.

At first, Grid thought she had dementia. Now it turned out to just be serious bluffing.

‘...It would be better to sign this.’

The main reason Grid accepted Leraje’s duel was because he coveted the quest rewards. It was difficult to refuse because he had to sign it in order to get a reward. The moment he refused, it would be meaningless to perform the quest.
