Overgeared

Chapter 1772

‘We shouldn’t be late.’

The hearts of the tower members were anxious. They were chasing after Grid, who had disappeared from view.

A moment ago when Hayate raised the energy of a Dragon Slayer, an unexpected helper appeared in front of the group. It was the Cloaked Dragon, Cranbel. He was one of the few top dragons in the world and a named dragon believed to be the direct descendant of the Refraction Dragon.

Cranbel’s energy detection exceeded Hayate’s predictions. He came to the scene almost immediately after Hayate exposed the energy of the Dragon Slayer. It was such a shocking reaction speed that Hayate, an Absolute, couldn’t help being agitated.

Cranbel explained to the tower members, who were wary of him without hiding their admiration and astonishment.

[Others are being cautious about the appearance of an old dragon.]

Were there any dragons as humble as this? Cranbel’s personality was as good as his modest way of talking.

Sword Saint Biban, whose instincts preceded his thoughts, relaxed his guard ahead of the other tower members and took back his sword. It was as the Cloaked Dragon said. He wasn’t their enemy.

“You seem to be doing well.” Grid also showed an unexpected attitude. He even smiled as he checked Cranbel’s intact left arm. He seemed to welcome this dragon who should be humanity’s enemy. Was it the effect of losing his helper, Gray Dragon Xenon? Grid’s attitude of valuing a dragon itself flustered all the tower members, except for Biban.

[...It is better to leave in a hurry. For the low-grade dragons who live every day like a mayfly, a Dragon Slayer is one of the few hopes to change their destiny. Some slow-witted low-grade dragons are likely to take risks and arrive here soon.]

Cranbel advised them. Perhaps he was wary of being misunderstood by Marie Rose, so he spoke to Hayate while trying to avoid Grid’s gaze.

Hayate had just read Trauka’s small killing intent and identified his location. Trauka was ferocious like any other red dragon and he was indeed easily provoked.

“Are you going to let us go?”

The 6th Seat, Ken, growled. Putting aside Grid and Biban’s attitude, he was extremely wary of Cranbel. It was a very normal reaction.

[If I was going to block your way, I would’ve acted more stealthily. My only purpose is to prey on the mayflies attracted by the Dragon Slayer. I don’t dare take risks against you.]

Grid and Hayate—the figures leading the tower members were excellent even from the perspective of a top dragon. It was right to be vigilant of them, so he confessed honestly.

“I understand.” Some of the tower members still had their suspicions, but Hayate nodded. He accepted Cranbel’s advice and shared Trauka’s position with Grid and the tower members. At the same time...

“I’m going.” Grid bowed to Cranbel and was the first to take the lead. He left the scene by continuously using Shunpo. It wasn’t a speed that could be caught up with at all from the perspective of the tower members, who needed to arrange their physical strength. It wasn’t just that he was in a hurry. They could feel his will to leave behind the tower members.

“Grid intends to protect us,” the 4th Seat, Betty, said with a sad expression. Before being an emperor and a god, Grid was their new generation. They should be supporting him. But every time, Grid relied on himself rather than them. He was ready to shoulder all the responsibilities they carried.

From a certain point, the tower members gritted their teeth and ran with all their might. They tried to catch up with Grid without arranging their physical strength. Then right now—
