Overgeared

A large golem emitting a blue light rushed forward. It used its heavy shoulders to easily break through the human formation, breaking in and disrupting them. However, its momentum didn’t last long.

The humans scattered in all directions pulled the rope in their hands and the golem slipped where it was standing, falling backward. It struggled with its arms and legs like an upside-down tortoise that couldn’t get up. All sorts of skills poured toward it.

“It is a smooth linkage.”

“It is possible because we know where the enemy will appear and we set up traps. I don’t think there is anything to compliment.”

Zibal watched with interest as he watched the Overgeared members raiding the Guardian of the Forest using traps. In fact, the average level of the raid team deserved praise. With the exception of Toban, who was standing back and commanding, most of the participants were players in their mid-200s. It was frankly a good thing for them to raid the Guardian of the Forest without a single casualty.

However, Zibal had witnessed a young boy who hunted the ‘awakened’ Guardian of the Forest by himself a fortnight ago. Therefore, he wasn’t particularly impressed by the Overgeared Three members despite them doing all types of tricks. “Toban, why is a person like you managing a raid of this level? Can’t you leave it to the second group?”

“It is normally managed by the third group, but today is the training of new recruits. Therefore, I visited myself.”

“...New recruits?”

Then they weren’t the third group?

‘How wide is their talent pool?’

No, it must be a bluff. They didn’t want to expose their guild power to outsiders. Zibal was watching the raid when he reflexively got up from his seat. It was because Grid arrived at the scene.

‘This damn thing.’

Grid had nothing to do with him so why did he stand up without his knowing...?

“Have you been well?” Grid approached Zibal who was rebuking himself and gave a greeting with a smile. It was an uncomfortable friendly attitude.

“...I haven’t been well,” Zibal shook Grid’s hand and answered honestly. The last few months since visiting the Hwan Kingdom had been hell. He could never relax for a moment due to the martial god followers who were constantly narrowing their surveillance network.

“I’m sorry. It wasn’t polite to ask if you’ve been well when you’ve obviously been struggling. You’ve had a hard time.” Grid patted Zibal’s shoulder and politely bowed to Zikfrector. "It is reassuring to see that you're safe. By the way, why are you living in the forest instead of the castle?”

Grid felt it was ridiculous after finding out that Zibal’s group had been living in the forest outside Bairan for the past fortnight. Perhaps it might be possible if this was a great hunting place. However, why refuse the convenience of the Overgeared Guild and stay in a place where only the Guardian of the Forest respawned?

“I received advice from mana that this is the safest place.”

‘Advice from mana?’

Was it possible to use ancient magic to talk to mana? Grid was recalling the ancient magic that Zikfrector used with the runes when Zikfrector spoke strange words, “It must be because you asked your son to destroy the statues of the martial god.”

“......?”

"You don't have to look like you don't understand. I’m not upset just because you tested me. It is true that my body weakens every time I go through the Curse of Sloth. Still, my magic power is in good shape. You don’t have to worry too much.”

‘What does this mean...?’
