Overgeared

Blood magic wasn’t considered as academic learning. It was because it wasn’t a field that could be developed with concepts such as studying and effort.

Blood magic was a power that originated purely from the bloodline and was rooted in Beriache’s power. Beings who had inherited even a speck of Beriache’s blood and magic power—in other words, any vampire—could use blood magic, but non-vampires couldn’t use blood magic.

Grid might have the title of Blood King, but even he could only learn blood magic by absorbing the blood magic of the ‘direct descendants who swore allegiance to himself’ (even this was limited to blood magic based on his own personality). This meant it was absolutely impossible for a human being, who couldn’t use blood magic properly, to negate the blood magic of Marie Rose, the peak vampire. Yet it just happened. It was done by Grid.

Marie Rose’s round eyes blinked as she stared at Grid. Then she soon arranged her expression and asked, “Do you remember the first day we met?”

There was a mixture of curiosity and liking in her deep gaze.

Mercedes was quick to notice as the owner of Keen Insight. She didn’t like this face, so her eyes became cold. However, Grid, the person who received the attention, had no idea.

“Yes, I remember.”

Now he was—

“...I almost got eaten by you.”

He was just trembling because he was incredibly scared. The first time he met Marie Rose. Every time he thought of her ‘smiling’ and sucking the blood of the scammer healer whose name he couldn’t remember any longer, Dongpayuk or Kkanpungi or something, his head turned blank from fear.

“......”

“......”

Marie Rose and Mercedes’ eyes became dull. They were silent for a moment before soon opening their mouths at the same time.

“I almost ate you. That is the only memory of the day for you.”

“You...! You were aiming for His Majesty’s chastity from the beginning!”

“Hmm~ You’re fairly impudent here.”

“W-What did you say?!”

For the moment, it seemed necessary to stabilize the situation. Grid knew that it was better to stay silent when he couldn’t grasp the situation. This was a fact known through learning. Fortunately, Marie Rose had no hostility toward Mercedes. It was natural. She looked at Mercedes, the human being who dared raise her voice to her, like Mercedes was cute.

Grid observed the two people before slowly realizing the reason. ‘It is because of Keen Insight.’

A power that even the gods were vigilant toward. The power that played a fatal role against great demons was coveted by Marie Rose.

‘That’s right. The reason why Marie Rose is obsessed with me also includes Mercedes’ existence.’

She thought that if she got him, she could get Mercedes’ power as well.

‘It is one plus one..’

He felt like a convenience store product, but it didn’t matter. If he could establish a friendly relationship with Marie Rose, one of the world’s strongest beings, it didn’t matter if he received the one plus two treatment, let alone one plus one. The atmosphere calmed down while Grid was thinking. Mercedes regained her sense of reason and Marie Rose stopped making fun of such a Mercedes. The conversation continued again.

“Grid.”

“Yes.”

“I can’t forget the first time I met you.”

even care who Marie Rose was. He just tried his best to survive. He would’ve acted the same even if he knew that Marie Rose was a disaster.
