Overgeared

‘How did they know to come?’

This was the question Grid had the moment the martial god followers entered the dining room. It took 20 minutes to get to Bairan Castle. The followers of the martial god appeared there like they had been waiting so he even wondered if there were spies in the castle.

Then he realized that he had ignored something Zikfrector mentioned. He failed to understand the logic of ‘securing a safe area by destroying the statues of the martial god.’ It was natural since Grid never instructed Lord to destroy the statues of the martial god. There were few hints and not enough time to immediately understand Zikfrector’s remark.

‘He deliberately lured them.’

Meanwhile, Zikfrector was convinced. Grid had created a safe zone by destroying the statues of the martial god in the forest of the guardian. It meant he had seen how to get rid of the pursuit of the martial god followers. Yet he dared to move locations and allow the followers to track them here. He showed a willingness to start a war for his new messenger by taking on the followers.

‘His quick judgment and steadfast courage are worthy of being an object of envy.’

This was why Zikfrector had coveted Grid since the days when Juander was emperor. He appreciated Grid so much that he urged Grid to become the emperor of Saharan and he had a tendency to overestimate Grid. It was a time when Grid and Zikfrector’s thoughts intersected.

‘Is it a trap?’

Haegak felt a chill as the fragments of the exploded blood sword swept over his body. Haegak had never allowed any type of attack to hit since he gained sharper hearing and a sixth sense after abandoning his vision. Therefore, the burning sensation from his body was surprising.

Haegak turned to Grid’s direction. Despite the missed attack, this man’s firm attitude of forming blood again into a sword alerted Haegak. This guy—

He was the king of this kingdom who dared to impersonate a god.

“You are Grid. I heard you killed Lee Jeong but he wasn’t very good.” Haegak abandoned the unstable posture of the one-handed handstand and stood upright.

Grid opened his mouth, “Kukuk, Lee Jeong was the weakest of us—did you want to say something like that?”

This was a regular type of comment from Lauel. He would mutter it to himself every time the dispatched personnel failed and returned.

Haegak flinched and shut his mouth.

“...Really.” Grid frowned when he saw Haegak’s reaction and then he used Freely Move. The followers of the martial god only marched forward. Their sole purpose was to achieve the peak of martial arts. Their essence didn’t change even if they were deceived by Zeratul and lost their sense of reason. Due to this setting, the skills they used weren’t simple. They were obsessed with techniques that were difficult to use, complex, and hard to hard. They also sought development in actual combat. In short, it meant they didn’t use targeting skills.

Moonlight flowed in from a collapsed outer wall. The followers’ weapons, fists, and kicks moved through along the light, scattering them and causing ripples. The techniques connected brilliantly, but they couldn’t even touch Grid’s fluttering cloak. It was because the power of Freely Move to avoid all non-targeting skills was absolute.

‘1.2 seconds.’

Grid calculated the time the blood sword combined with the Magic Power Ejection Machine would last and reached Haegak. He immediately unleashed a four fusion sword dance. First, Linked Kill occurred and Haegak dodged with restrained movements.
