Overgeared

"I thought I was going to die." Nefelina's words were extreme. It seemed she had struggled quite a bit during the Hell Gao raid.

From Grid's perspective, it was hard to understand. Certainly, Hell Gao, who appeared with seven fire stones, was strong. His body might be sealed and he borrowed the bodies of demonic creatures, but the 9th Great Demon's majesty wasn't for nothing. Nevertheless, he should be a relatively easy opponent if the six messengers joined forces. It didn't matter how many fire stones there were. Just remove them. Despite a lot of hardships, Grid and Mercedes had succeeded in the raid with just the two of them.

Nefelina explained to the confused Grid, "That madman Braham didn't take action and just watched."

"Bah, it is too disgraceful to join forces to kill such a thing."

"That stone Zikfrector slept on the spot!"

"It wasn't my will."

"Mercedes took a long time to collect one fire stone!"

"The grandmaster slept in the spot where the fire stones were generated. It took me a while to break through his barrier of runes."

"......"

Grid summarized Nefelina's words: Braham sat on the sidelines during the battle, Zikfrector did nothing, and Mercedes failed to remove the fire stones in time. In other words, the other three people—Nefelina, Sariel, and Piaro—had a tough battle.

Grid would've been upset if he was Nefelina. Still, what could he do? Braham was impossible to control and Zikfrector was bound by the Curse of Sloth. The reason why Mercedes' fire stone removal wasn't easy was an accident.

'If there was no accident, they would've easily killed Hell Gao without Braham and Zikfrector... in any case, it is my fault.'

He hadn't predicted the possibility of Braham and Zikfrector trolling. He couldn't predict this unfortunate accident. However, Grid oversaw the Hell Gao expedition and had to bear the responsibility for the accident.

"I'm sorry, Nefelina. In order to apologize, I'll increase the amount of food in the future."

Grid was actually already planning to increase Nefelina's rations. No matter the reason, she was fighting for Grid. She had the right to enjoy something. She already ate three times as much food as her size. Administrator Rabbit had advised that her habits would get worse if she received more, but it was fine if Grid gave it with the excuse of an apology.

"Hmm, if so..."

Nefelina's anger was calmed. She hadn't been whining while hoping for anything. She just wanted to nitpick over it. Yet when she received something in return, she was a bit embarrassed. In her heart, She wanted to punch Braham, but she decided to put up with it because she knew that Braham wasn't a simple vampire or magician. Braham also didn't cross the line with the future dragon either. He swallowed down the sarcastic words, 'You are a pig who only eats.'

"Then why did you just watch?" The messengers scattered to their respective places. Grid chased Braham to the nearby mountain and asked this question.

Braham struck Greed with Disintegrate and answered with an unwilling expression. "Nefelina and Sariel still lack experience."

Nefelina was a hatchling and Sariel had been in heaven before being locked in the Abyss. Their innate blood and status meant they had the same knowledge as a sage, but knowledge alone couldn't achieve things. They had to gain experience and open up their wisdom in order to help Grid.

"I see." Grid understood why Braham acted like a bystander and smiled happily.

Braham frowned. "Why are you smiling?"

"It is because I am grateful and happy."

The reason why Braham tried to instill experience in Nefelina and Sariel was for Grid, after all. Unfortunately, Braham's personality wasn't honest.
