Overgeared

“There was no clue at all until she was found in the Red Sea?”

“Yes, by the time we captured her traces, a few Breaths have already overlapped. It is just that the radar didn’t detect it in the meantime.”

“It is from the east. She has been hiding on the East Continent.”

At Hayate’s office…

Biban entered one step late. The meeting was already underway. The artifacts filled with ancient languages and formulas flashed, revealing the condition and location of Ifrit.

“Ifrit is Trauka’s child. It isn’t known when she will be eaten, so it isn’t strange for her to hide.”

“The fact that she is back now...”

Just because they were the Tower of Wisdom didn’t mean they could grasp all the actions of the dragons. It was difficult to monitor unless they were active every cycle like the gourmet dragon Raiders, or if they didn’t show explicit signs like the current Ifrit. The dragon radar created by the Fronzaltz brothers wasn’t omnipotent.

“...Did she get her hands on the fragment of Baal’s power?”

“It is likely that this is the case. It is right that a second evil dragon has been born.”

“The Pioneer failed...”

“It can’t be helped. How can he handle it if the opponent is Ifrit, a top grade fire dragon? Grid can’t do it alone even if Ifrit is in a state of great injury.”

“It is my fault. Grid is in trouble due to me.”

Betty’s pale face stiffened. She was like a corpse. It was right for her to lie down in a coffin. The body she hid using a robe was actually a dead body. More than half of it were white bones.

“This isn’t the time to blame yourself. We have to quickly identify Ifrit’s destination... this?” Radwolf suddenly became shocked. His voice trembled as he shot up from his seat. “Ifrit is heading to the west...”

“The west?”

“Cokro Island... it is in the direction of Cokro Island.”

“It is the Overgeared Empire!”

The Overgeared Kingdom was now an empire. More than two-thirds of the continent had become the territory of the Overgeared Empire. However, most of the areas that could be called key points were concentrated in the west. Cokro Island was one of them.

“That guy, Ifrit, is she going to retaliate against the Pioneer...?!”

The reason why Ifrit accumulated the Breath wasn’t to compete for territory. Indeed, the only lair that Ifrit would covet was Trauka’s lair. She couldn’t challenge Trauka right now even with Baal’s power.

“I think there is a deep grudge. She must’ve been disturbed during the process of gaining Baal’s power.”

“The population density of the Overgeared Empire is the largest in history. More than half of humanity will be destroyed if the Overgeared Empire is targeted by Ifrit.”

In the midst of the turmoil—

“I will go.”

Hayate got up from his seat.

“This is real...” Grid muttered in a mesmerized manner as he enjoyed Ifrit’s flight. It felt like he was piercing the sky. It was because very familiar scenery entered his view. Cokro Island was visible on the horizon. The intercontinental movement, which was physically difficult to achieve, ended in an instant.

‘Will riding a missile feel like this?’

Grid’s black hair was disheveled and completely blown back. His hair was pushed back, like it was covered in oil. It matched well with his strong impression.
