Overgeared

"Sure enough, Kraugel is also preparing for the great human and demon war."

"It feels like there are 1,000 people."

How many players didn't envy the sky above the sky?

After the National Competition the year before last, he had been absent in the East Continent and finally appeared after a long time, causing admiration. It was despite the fact that most of those present were some of the top high rankers. Those who could set up a guild or lead a number of talents at any time were humble in front of Kraugel. It was the person with the second highest official standing after Grid.

"T-This is real..." Toban murmured blankly while the elites of the Ares army shifted their gazes away in an awkward manner. The smile on Toban's face represented how he felt.

Kraugel—he might not be part of the Overgeared Guild, but he was a trustworthy figure. It wasn't just skill, but also personality. It was Kraugel who had no bad rumors even when he was 1st in the ranking and had no choice but to be gossiped about no matter what he did. Once he became an ally, he could truly be called one of the most reliable people.

Just in time, Lauel's message appeared in the guild chat.

-Kraugel applied for the hell expedition and I accepted it at my discretion.I will leave the subsequent judgment to Yura.

"......"

"......"

Kraugel left Ruby behind and approached Yura. They stood side by the side and naturally reminded people of words like fate, relationship, lovers. They were at a level that was well-matched just looking at their appearance.

'Oppa is pitiful.' Ruby belatedly came to her senses and couldn't help having this thought.

Gulp!

Gulps were heard from all around them. Just as everyone knew that Kraugel's relationship with Grid was deep, they all knew that Kraugel and Yura had an uncomfortable relationship. One of the top rankers that Yura was hostile to during her time as a Yatan Servant was Kraugel and Kraugel had grabbed Yura's ankles many times in the National Competition. There were hardly any good feelings between the two of them, apart from the relationship between Kraugel and the Overgeared Guild. People wondered if Yura would give Kraugel a chance to play.

"You will take the vanguard," Yura opened her mouth one beat late. Unlike people's worries, she easily nodded. "It is reassuring. Ruby, what do you think?"

"Huh? O-Of course I would like that," Ruby replied to the question. It wasn't a selfish answer. Kraugel was the Sword Saint. Even if he couldn't use divine power at all, he could gain the upper hand against the demons as long as he was 'holding a sword.'

The concept of compatibility itself was meaningless to him. It was because the Sword Saint defied the laws and could cut anything. It was why Kraugel was evaluated as an irreplaceable power.

"I think I can complete my vanguard duty with Kraugel oppa." Ruby's opinion was the same as other people's thoughts.

Toban also thought it was a good thing.

'Then for some reason... why am I sad?' Toban, who was happier than anyone else, suddenly felt sad. However, his mood right now wasn't an important issue. Toban coughed and handed Kraugel his weapon. It was the 'Transcendent God's Holy Sword' that was once the divine object of the Judar Church. Just like the Holy Light Set that Grid got from the Rebecca Church, this had been left unattended in the church without anyone using it.

Toban was once the number one player in the Judar Church. He had many achievements and acquired the 'qualifications.' It was why Toban had to be the vanguard in this hell expedition.
