Overgeared

Martial God Chiyou—he was the one who made Zik, who didn’t respect or revere the gods, bow his head on his own initiative. He was intense from the first impression and specially approached Grid. He gave Grid the right to take Chiyou's Test, despite not being a yangban, and bestowed a great favor upon Grid after he passed the ordeal. As a result, Grid unlocked his potential thanks to Chiyou and overcame his limitations several times.

“I’ve been watching you.”

In the first place, there was a sense of emotion from his eyes. Chiyou’s eyes were infinitely warm when he looked at Grid and Grid felt deep affection and gratitude. Regardless of his changed status, Grid deeply bowed his head.

“I also thought of you often. I'm relieved to see you in good spirits.”

“It is a great provocation.”

“......?”

The conversation between the two of them wasn’t transmitted to the outside world.

A colorless divinity—it was the aftermath of Chiyou’s divinity, which used the aspirations of all living things that craved power as its source, creating an invisible veil. It was a phenomenon created by Chiyou’s will to refuse to be worshiped.

The effect was great. The thousands or tens of thousands of people gathered because of Metatron—none of them had a good grasp of the current situation.

‘What type of conversation are they having?’ Chiyou looked blurry to everyone except for Grid. It definitely resembled a human form, but it felt like he was surrounded by fog. If Grid hadn’t mentioned the name Chiyou, they wouldn’t have even known who he was.

“...He is on the same side, right?”

The Overgeared Guild started to feel relieved. In fact, they had been somewhat intimidated by the sight of the giant angel called Metatron.

An angel with 18 pairs of wings. They even had a number of halos. The so-called halo of the angels. The angels in Satisfy could shrink or expand the halo, shooting beams or using it as a blade to brutally kill their targets. This meant that the more halos there were, the higher the probability of exerting great destructive power.

Just as they were worried that such a monster would go on a rampage in the middle of the city and cause great damage, Chiyou appeared. He blew Metatron, who was talking nonsense, all the way out of the city with a single blow, and Grid bowed in gratitude. It was natural to interpret him as an ally.

However, the situation inside the veil was going differently than what people thought.

“Even when you blocked Dominion’s spear.”

Jingle.

Chiyou’s bells were very sensitive. They cried just because Chiyou opened his mouth.

Grid belatedly noticed. He hadn’t known because it had been hidden by the collar and sleeves. There were several bells hanging from Chiyou’s body.

“Even when you defeated the apostle of the God of the Beginning, who had lost the god she served and was wandering.”

Jingle.

Grid took a step back. He suddenly realized why Chiyou had so many bells hanging from his body.

“Even when you received an apology from the Fire Dragon.”

Jingle.

“I rarely felt the limits of my patience.”

The bells were consideration. It was consideration for those trying to hurt him.

I am here. Don’t miss me. Point the sword at me properly.

“I wanted to run to you right away and point your sword at my neck.”
