Overgeared

People didn't know much about dragons. They couldn't afford to study and understand the transcendent species that could destroy human civilization with a single flap of their wings. This had a huge impact on players as well. The information about dragons depicted in literature and quests that players could access was limited.

However, everyone knew about the Insane Dragon. An incredibly ferocious and powerful dragon. In other words, it was the Insane Dragon Nevartan who made up the image of a dragon that was passed down to people.

Nevartan's recognition was unique among the dragons. Neither the Fire Dragon Trauka, who occupied the dwarf city of Talima, nor the Gourmet Dragon Raiders, who was known to enjoy human food, were Nevartan's opponents in terms of awareness.

It was because Nevartan's activity level was the highest among the dragons. It was only a few activities in a hundred years, but it was many times more than other dragons. He caused all types of incidents, but the content was inconsistent. In some cases, the people at the scene weren't all wiped out. This was the reason why many dragon records, which were only a few in human history, used Nevartan as the main protagonist.

"This… what should we do...?"

The hundreds of thousands of people who gathered to welcome the return of the heroes all panicked in unison. Apart from a very small number of people, they couldn't keep their sanity. The madness was contagious.

People started to mistake their colleagues, friends, and family as the demons and monsters they feared and attacked them. If it hadn't been for Sariel hurriedly scattering their divinity to calm them down, an unprecedented situation would've occurred where fratricide would cause the capital to collapse.

'What is his condition?'

Grid quickly searched Nevartan's large body, which seemed to overlap with the distant hills. He recalled the fact that Bunhelier was seriously injured when he fell to hell. It was right after Bunhelier had fought against Nevartan. Based on the fact that Bunhelier's condition was much worse than it seemed, there was no way Nevartan could be fine. Both sides must've been seriously injured in the aftermath of the battle.

"...He is fine?"

Grid was so flustered that he let out a shrill noise. Contrary to his expectations, he couldn't find any wounds on Nevartan. He almost wanted to argue with Bunhelier. Grid turned his head to the other side and found Bunhelier, who had become just a dot.

Did Bunhelier feel the gaze? Bunhelier's voice was directly transmitted to Grid's mind.

[What?]

It was an imposing attitude like he felt no shame at all.

Grid couldn't reveal his feelings to Bunhelier, who questioned him. The one in the unfortunate position now was Grid.

"Great old dragon, Bunhelier! I need your help!" Grid's voice rang out loudly. He had obtained the reward for the 20th epic he wrote in hell and his status had risen by a huge four levels. Grid, who had risen in status to a level comparable to when he was riding a top dragon, praised Bunhelier in front of the humans who served him and asked for help. It was even next to the Overgeared World. He had qualifications of the chief god.

The aftermath was great.

Bunhelier trembled. He felt the sensation of his status rising a level, just like when he absorbed the demonic energy of hell and became an Evil Dragon. Of course, from Bunhelier's perspective, it was a reward he deserved. How hard had he struggled in hell with this human on his back?

[You are crazy.]

They were words that Bunhelier had heard the most in his life. He never thought he would be saying this to someone else. Bunhelier frowned at the emotion he felt and blamed Grid.

[Asking for help when you just announced that you would kill me? Do you have no such thing as shame?]

"......"

[In the first place, I have no reason to help you. Keep in mind that our alliance was only temporary.]

The flapping of Bunhelier's wings didn't stop as he snorted. He moved away in real time. He didn't use any magic like teleportation. He wanted to avoid grabbing Nevartan's attention.

'I am lucky. I can't miss this opportunity.'

It was shortly after arriving on the surface. Bunhelier was stunned when he felt Nevartan's presence rapidly approaching. He, who had existed since the beginning, had to face the crisis of death three times in one day. It was once to Nevartan, once to Baal, and once to Nevartan again. He felt more skeptical than ashamed. He was naturally afraid at the thought of losing the eternity he had enjoyed.

Nevertheless, he survived. To be exact, he was saved.

'He became distracted after knowing about his child.'

Nevartan's child. A dark smile spread across Bunhelier's face. It was because he thought he had great luck in exchange for losing his honor. The luck naturally referred to Nefelina.

'A child… it is a child. There must be plenty of ways to take advantage of it.'

Nevartan's mind inherently fluctuated. He was always crazy, but there were occasionally times when he overcame it and became sane. Was it a coincidence that he came to his senses the moment he met his daughter? There was no way. The affection he had for his daughter was real.
