Overgeared

“Wow. I thought it was falling.”

“Is the location found?”

“I didn’t detect any movement... surely it isn’t the refractive dragon, right?”

The impact to the tilted tower led to a variety of reactions from the tower members. A tower disguised with 83 types of invisibility techniques was attacked. It was a big incident that had never happened before.

The tower members assumed the worst thing they could think of. The failure to grasp the source of the attack was considered a particularly great risk.

The refractive dragon—due to its unseen nature, they thought of a silver dragon, also known as the ‘transparent dragon.’ This was just an assumption. The silver dragon was unable to reproduce, so its obsession with life was at a level that made other dragons click their tongues. It was extremely unlikely that it would attack the tower when it never left its lair.

“There is infinite sword energy. Sir Hayate has isolated the intruder.”

“That’s why I didn’t feel it.”

The tower members raced up the spiral staircase. Their expressions relaxed when they found the dawn-colored light outside the window. They were relieved to confirm that their worst assumption of the emergence of the refractive dragon came to nothing. Of course, their running didn’t slow down. It was a clear reality that a dragon had attacked. They had to shake off the dragon and run away at all costs.

“......!”

The faces of the tower members stiffened again when they reached the top of the tower. Beyond the infinite sword energy that was just lifted—

“Kueeek!” They witnessed Biban coughing up a large amount of blood.

“This is ridiculous...!”

“Sir Biban!”

It was true that Biban’s emotions were unstable. During the time when Biban first climbed the tower, Radwolf, who saw him, openly asked if he was a child with a mental disability. However, the tower members readily accepted Biban as a colleague. They acknowledged his beliefs and strengths, even though there were major flaws in his character and senses.

That’s right. The reason why Biban was the last seat of the tower wasn't because of his lack of skills. If the tower’s seats had been placed in order of skill, Biban would be fourth or third. Such a Biban—

“Kueeek!” He was coughing up blood.

13 seconds ago, the tower members recognized the attack. During this short period of time, a strong person representing the tower was seriously injured.

The 2nd Seat, Fronzaltz, stepped forward with Ken and gave an order, “Everyone except for the 6th Seat, board the magic machines in preparation for a surprise attack.”

It was a decision to put the safety of the tower members first before identifying the enemy. The tower members weren’t weakened just because they boarded a magic machine. They couldn’t use their own skills, but the power of the magic machine itself was very high.

The bracelet wrapped around Fronzaltz’s thick wrist turned blue and the temperature of the area dropped sharply. It was the aftermath of the giant’s magic engineering, God’s Circle, freezing the magic power.

On the day when the giants were destroyed, the God’s Circle, which was used by the Fronzaltz and Radwolf brothers to escape, was greatly damaged. Since then, it hadn’t been properly repaired for over a thousand years and many functions had been lost. Nevertheless, it could still be asserted that it was a ‘supreme artifact.’ It was comparable to the Overgeared God’s Greed.

The atmosphere screamed.

Grid’s heavy sword was a great threat to repel the sword. It wasn’t elaborate or sophisticated, but it was fierce. The cold sound of the metal cutting through the air toward the top of his head was very unpleasant. He had no choice but to cut it before he was cut.
