Overgeared

There was a mother and child left in a fragment of his memory.

An ordinary woman and an extraordinary child. As screams erupted everywhere and chandeliers fell and smashed, the mother and child struggled to protect each other. The helpless woman embraced her son, while her son escaped from his mother’s arms and picked up a sword as large as his own body.

Perhaps it happened... in the Vatican. He helped the mother and child who were surrounded by the Yatan Servants. He was originally working with the Yatan Servants, so he ended up stabbing them in the back. He knew there would be many disadvantages, but he still stepped out.

‘I did a good job.’

A boy who was now a young man—Agnus stared at the boy who had a bright smile on his face and praised his former self.

A small thrill flooded in. For the first time since he was born, he realized how happy he was to be able to praise himself and feel proud.

I—I was born and drove a woman to a miserable death.

For the first time, this garbage that is worse than filth, feels pride...

“That is where I...” Lord’s stories about his adventure continued without stopping. Lord chatted as brightly as he could while trying not to notice the breathless sobs of Agnus, who had his head lowered.

No human being always made the right choices. All human beings had regrets and suffered. In particular, the more someone believed they were inferior to others, the more regrets they left behind. It was the same for Grid. It was even in childhood, in school, and in society. For all types of reasons and excuses, he left a variety of regrets.

Even these days, he would take a shower and scream when thinking back to that time. However, he didn’t bury it. In any case, regret was established because it was in the past.

Yes, it was all over. It was enough to try not to repeat the same situations that made him feel regret again in the future.

“...So you should be strong as well,” Grid, who had left when he saw Agnus’ eyes turn red, leaned his back against the door and muttered.

Lord’s powerful voice that came from beyond the closed door was considerate of Agnus. He was an admirable guy.

Lord’s adventure stories, which resembled Grid’s epics, ended only after Irene came. Agnus’ shy expression as he bowed to Irene and greeted her respectfully made Grid smile.

“First of all, call back the expedition.” It was after the two of them left. Agnus explained the overall situation to Grid and insisted. “Fragments of Asura will enter the shadows of all beings who step foot in hell. They are the eyes and ears of Baal.”

“......?”

Grid’s expression stiffened at once. It permeated the shadows of all beings who stepped into hell? He understood the meaning, but he didn’t want to. “Asura’s fragments... are you referring to the guy I killed earlier?”

“Yes. It is literally fragments. It is only a small part of him.”

“I think he was pretty strong for only a small part.”

He might’ve managed to kill the fragments in one go with the five fusion sword dance that overlapped with the full buff state and the buff of the seven malignant saints, but it was great that it endured the five fusion sword dance in the full buff state even once. Someone who was so strong was in an incomplete state?

A hypothesis had to be formulated in order to be convinced.

“Is he a hidden powerhouse of hell?”

“You understand it quickly.”

He couldn’t help but understand quickly. Grid had met Hayate, the strongest hidden powerhouse on the surface, and Chiyou, the strongest hidden powerhouse of the divine world. He even knew that the refractive dragon was said to be the strongest among the dragons. The refractive dragon was most likely to be an imaginary being, but in any case, it wasn’t strange that someone unusual was hiding in hell
