Overgeared

At the river of reincarnation...

A tremendous noise had been going on for dozens of minutes already.

It was the aftermath of a collapse of an invisible dam—the dam created by the distortion of hell, and imprisoned the souls in the river.

"Thank you."

“Thank you...”

The liberated souls—they expressed their gratitude to Kraugel as they finally let go of the sorrow and pain they had experienced for eternity and started to enter the path of reincarnation.

“I won’t forget your last words and will deliver them to Grid.”

I will deliver your words to Grid, who isn’t here, on your behalf.

Kraugel thought so and promised. The souls were bewildered for a moment before smiling. Contrary to Kraugel’s thoughts, the souls were grateful to him too. It was because he shouted that Grid would surely defeat Baal and gave them hope. Thanks to him, they endured the pain for a while. This was a tremendous blessing for the souls.

“In our next life, we will return the merits to you and Grid.”

These were the words of a soul. It blurred so quickly that Kraugel couldn’t get a close look at the soul's appearance, but he could see the neatly shaved head and deep eyes. He thought this soul must’ve been a monk-like practitioner in his lifetime.

The cycle of life.

Reincarnation—Kraugel had a vague idea of the value of this concept. The souls had started to prepare for reincarnation thanks to Grid. When they were one day reborn as beasts or human beings living on the surface, maybe they would vaguely love Grid and the warriors of the expedition. Wouldn’t these feelings gather to bless Grid and the Overgeared Kingdom?

“The immortal empire.”

Just then, Eligos interjected.

“As long as their subconscious minds remember the events of their previous lives after they are reborn, even if it is just the smallest detail, the empire of Grid will be eternal. They won’t sit idly by and ignore the nation and everything that Grid has created. They will instinctively want to protect it.”

Great nations throughout history had often been born from a combination of strong military power, brilliant politicians, and good timing. It was right to express it as a gift from heaven. However, none of the nations lasted forever. In the end, they declined and collapsed.

However, the Overgeared Empire would last forever. Even though it was only a demon’s claim... Kraugel agreed with it.

“I guess so.”

Putting aside the blessings and the help of the reincarnated souls, there weren’t many forces left that could threaten the Overgeared Guild right away. If he had to name them, wouldn’t it be the Old Dragons, the Hwan Kingdom, and Asgard? Among them, the Old Dragons seemed to have deep exchanges with Grid, while Hanul and King Sobyeol of the Hwan Kingdom felt inferior. Perhaps only Asgard could disrupt Grid’s path.

It happened as Kraugel was thinking this...

“......”

Eligos stood on the cliff and watched the procession of liberated souls. Suddenly, he changed his position with high speed movement. Before anyone knew it, he climbed on top of Cerberus, drew his sword, and looked up at the sky.

“......”

Kraugel didn’t bother asking what was going on. It was because he could also sense the traces that were getting closer.

Soon—

A tremendously powerful air wave seemed to fall on them. Then a gloomy voice rang out.

“”I... must not forget my past life. I can’t obtain enlightenment in this state.””

King Daebyeol—Kraugel was familiar with the name of the soul that stopped just before falling into the still swirling river.
