Overgeared

Chapter 1822

Talima.

It was a city of dwarves that had been isolated for hundreds of years due to the lair of Fire Dragon Trauka. Not long ago, it was an unfamiliar land for people. Only a few people accidentally entered it, and most players couldn’t get any information about Talima. They heard rumors that the blacksmiths of Talima sold legendary rated battle gear and ego items on stands, but they dismissed it as absurd.

“...It wasn’t just a rumor.”

The players exploring the city surrounded by rocks were dumbfounded. It was while watching weapons such as swords, axes, and maces rise up from smithies all over the city and fly somewhere. They were ego items that judged and moved on their own. It was probably an exaggeration that they were sold on the stands, but the smithies of Talima all had a few ego items.

Dozens of ego items dove toward the hill behind Talima Castle. They were aimed at four intruders. Not a single one hit. The intruders with extremely trained senses evaded the surprise attack of the ego items with swift movements. If they wanted to claim themselves as Baal due to having the same appearance as him, they needed to have the minimum qualifications.

“I haven’t even adjusted to the peace that has come...”

The dwarf standing in the center of the fallen battle gear murmured with a gloomy face. It was the one with superhuman strength, Antrino. He was a transcendent who freely wielded the strength of a short body.

Until Talima was isolated by Fire Dragon Trauka, he was the hero who protected the lives of the dwarves for hundreds of years. Then not long ago, Trauka moved his lair and Talima joined the world again. Antrino felt a sense of responsibility to reclaim his reputation as a hero. Now that the natural disaster of an Old Dragon had left, he vowed before King Charles and his people that he would surely protect Talima in the future.

However, they were facing a new disaster without a break.

The 1st ranked Great Demon, Baal. Seeing that there were four of him, it didn’t seem to be his main body. Even so, each one of them had strong skills.

“Are we to be forever swayed by the wishes of the Absolutes...?”

Antrino sighed.

Dwarves were a species with exceedingly high dexterity. They had a habit of honing their natural dexterity to the limit. Thus, he was a suitable existence to be targeted by other beings. As Ke ong proved while being active in the Overgeared Empire, a nation could enjoy a strong military force with just one dwarf. Even Fire Dragon Trauka built a lair here because he coveted the technology of the dwarves. The natural talent and instincts of the dwarves could be likened to honey for all types of insects.

Therefore, Antrino’s sense of responsibility was great.

One of the rare warriors of his species—he was the only one to have built up transcendence among them, and he had a duty to protect his species. Throughout Talima, he was the only one who could do this.

However, even a transcendent was powerless in the face of a natural disaster. Just as he couldn’t do anything against Fire Dragon Trauka, he felt incredibly helpless against the 1st ranked Great Demon. If this was the real Baal, he wouldn’t even have the will to fight.

‘Even if I’m lucky enough to defeat these guys... eventually, I will see Talima being dominated by the real Baal one day.’

Antrino couldn’t think of the option of relying on Grid. Talima had been isolated until just a few days ago. They were ignorant of the outside news. In the first place, it was far from common sense to think about relying on others just because a crisis had come.

‘Well... it is worth fighting compared to an Old Dragon.’

He thought as positively as possible. Antrino floated dozens of ego items centered around him into the air. Unless they were out of control ego items sealed in Pandemonium, Talima’s ego items moved according to his will. They respected Antrino, the strongest dwarf warrior. At least here in Talima, Antrino was able to control the swords equal to the Sword Saint.
