Overgeared

Madra’s diary that was held by Grid was an incomplete record. It was clearly written by Undefeated King Madra, but it was a diary written after Madra became a death knight. Therefore, the contents were confusing and the delivery power was poor.

In the first place, a death knight was resurrected as an undead using the bones of a person who already died. Using common sense, it was unreasonable to trust and rely on an undead’s diary when the undead had significantly lower cognition compared to when he was alive.

‘The end of the diary is completely unrecognizable.’

Madra was reluctantly resurrected as an undead and gradually went crazy after hundreds of years. In the end, he cried out strangely. There was no regularity in the sentences he left on paper or his words in the memories he left behind. Even Great Sage Sticks had failed to translate it.

However, Sticks didn’t deny that it was writing or a language. He couldn’t interpret it, but it was hard to see it as just crying. It wasn’t strange to hypothesize that it was the language of the dead, just as the elementals had their own language that humans couldn’t understand.

Indeed, his hypothesis was right. The Orb Made from Galgunos’ Bones found in Talima proved this. The orb’s whispers resembled Death Knight Madra’s screaming.

‘Sticks said he would study the orb to learn the language of the dead...’

It was true that it was stagnant. Sticks’ research had been fruitless for several months. He had no idea at all about when Madra’s diary would be interpreted. The Behen Archipelago Record he acquired now was enough to give Grid new hope.

“M-Must you see this?”

“Yes.”

Leraje blushed with shame and showed reluctance, but she didn’t have the right to veto it. She failed to stop Grid from opening the diary that contained her shortcomings.

『 The demonic energy of the hell night was removed and day came. The sky brightened and the hell moon dimmed. I was unfamiliar with the landscape of hell that had changed to become like the demon world and Marbas talked about the influence of divinity. Thus, I found out that a god visited hell. 』

A god visited hell. It was Hexetia in the days when he was jealous of humans. The myth that Grid knew was described from the perspective of a third party. The moment the first sentence of the Behen Archipelago Record was displayed, Grid’s view gradually darkened.

He experienced what Leraje did.

“Invade the human world?”

Leraje frowned as she opened the official document that came from the First Hell.

“Is it necessary to send me to a place infested only with weak humans?”

The value of struggle shone only when fighting and winning against a strong enemy. Leraje had no reason or interest in harassing the weak, so from Leraje’s perspective, the human world wasn’t a very attractive stage.
