Overgeared

Amoract’s castle was bizarre. The castle itself was so huge that it was hard to guess the size of it, and while the number of rooms inside it were countless, all of them were empty. There was really nothing. There weren’t even any traces of life.

Maybe this place itself was a huge trap?

Katz even had such doubts, but he soon got rid of them.

A battle against patience—after wandering through the maze of corridors for more than half a day, he finally found it. Chains were strewn across the floor.

The chains—they took the form of a seal. It was created by Beriache’s technique and she originally targeted Baal.

‘It is around here.’

The chains were a signpost. Katz knew that Amoract was at the end of the chains and started walking after the chains. Nevertheless, he got lost several times. The chains were so long and entangled in all directions that they kept presenting him with forks in the road.

“......”

It was after a few hours of concentrating so much that he didn’t recognize the epic sentences that intermittently popped up. Katz finally reached the end.

The great hall lurking at the end of the maze. All the chains were pointing to this place.

Katz’ body turned to smoke as he slowly and cautiously approached the great hall. Beyond the huge door, he saw a woman bound against the wall. It was a woman with a white cloth wrapped all over her body. The outline of her body and face was more prominent due to the cloth, and she was as beautiful as a sculpture. There was the feeling that she shouldn’t be embraced.

The identity of the woman whose entire body was bound by thousands of chains. She was the 2nd Great Demon, Amoract.

He shouldn’t be misled by her appearance.

“......”

Katz watched Amoract while holding his breath. Grid had entrusted him with two missions. It was to spy on Amoract, and to search for Beriache’s soul.

Beriache’s soul was presumably currently believed to be in Amoract’s possession. If he encountered her, then there was a high probability he would be given a hidden quest. It was Grid and Lauel’s guess that this would be of great help to the expedition.

‘It is quiet.’

Katz watched Amoract’s reaction every time a new sentence of the epic popped up. There was no movement at all. She was silent no matter how the epics described Baal’s condition. It was the same when it stated that Grid was on the defensive. She remained silent even when the unbelievable sentence was written about the king of hell becoming fearful.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

The attitude of not caring about what the fate of hell was...

‘She really isn’t getting involved in this case...?’

It wasn’t just strange. Amoract had collaborated with Baal to banish Beriache from hell but that was the only time she collaborated with Baal. From the time hell was distorted to the present day, she walked a different path from Baal. Leraje and Eligos had testified to it. The Yatan Church was also evidence of it. Unlike Baal, who denied Yatan, Amoract even set up a religion using proxies and made humans worship Yatan.

‘It seems obvious that she is at odds with Baal like Grid says...’

Even so, it would be too much from Amoract’s perspective to stand by as Baal fell into a crisis. If Baal died, Grid’s next target would naturally be Amoract. Amoract couldn’t just stand by and watch Baal’s crisis for her own safety. Even if she didn’t openly help Baal, it was right for her to try and interfere with Grid, even indirectly.

So how long was she going to stay silent?

It happened as Katz’ doubts were growing...

[Baal and I are very compatible. It is obvious since our father made us as a pair from the beginning.]

Throughout the great hall—no, the woman’s voice rang throughout the castle.

“......?”

Katz didn’t notice for a moment that the owner of the voice was Amoract. It was because Amoract was chained up, just like when she first appeared. Her mouth didn’t move at all. However, she was talking.
