Overgeared

The archangel prior to Raphael—they told Braham that they didn’t know the name Beriache. Additionally, when they descended to the ground and faced Grid for the first time, they were amazed that this world was different from the first world.

Metatron had been around for a very long time. Unfortunately, it was long enough to witness or experience the Old Dragons in person.

‘It must be Nevartan.’

Even from the position of someone who served the Goddess, Raiders gave off a strange pressure because he was mysterious and dignified, but there was the impression that he was worthy of confrontation. It was also judged that there was a good chance of winning against Bunhelier.

On the other hand, Nevartan had something that was hard to fathom. It was rumored that he had been ruthless and powerful even before he was reduced to an Insane Dragon, but he was stronger after becoming the Insane Dragon. This meant Metatron couldn’t approach hastily.

‘...But now the insanity has been cured.’

The death of Baal was the trigger. The curse that had been engraved in Nevartan’s mind was extinguished. The essence of Yatan, which had served as the basis for the spell, evaporated when it ceased to play a role. It was the result of Baal’s arrogance in not predicting his own death. He didn’t do it thoroughly.

Thanks to this, they were able to see the benefits. Metatron saw Nevartan’s two huge eyes that contained cunning and had a smile that didn’t suit their fierce and hideous face.

‘Let’s be grateful that it isn’t Trauka.’

I will be qualified as a Dragon Slayer and have the power to confront Chiyou...

Flash!

A beam of light shot from Metatron’s eyes. It was to offset the snort that Nevartan exhaled. The angel’s halo emitted a bright glow in the chain of destruction caused by the collision of fierce energies.

Hundreds of magic circles appeared in the sky that was darkened due to Nevartan’s shadow. Nevartan failed to stop it. There were 213 shining magic circles. They were all pre-arranged traps. Metatron had completed the magic circles with the possibility of attracting the attention of an Old Dragon. They completely concealed the traces of the magic circle while inwardly waiting for a dragon to fall into the trap.

It was a few months ago. On the day they descended to the surface and met Grid for the first time, they predicted what was going to happen when they mentioned an Old Dragon openly. Metatron took advantage of the fact that the hearing of the Old Dragons extended across the entire surface. They deliberately targeted the Old Dragons.

Then today—

Metatron was convinced that Chiyou’s appearance would have awakened the dragons, and allowed Chiyou’s blow to hit them. They naturally left the scene that would soon become the battlefield of the gods and ended up alone. They created an environment where it was easy for them to hunt their prey.

In other words, the appearance of Nevartan was an event that took place within Metatron’s expected range. Technically, it was an expected development.

“”I was about to give up because I thought you weren’t going to show, so I’m grateful. This is also the grace of the Goddess.””

The ultimate in divine magic at its finest—the giant Nevartan was bombarded with divine magic that not even the God of Magic, Braham, could reproduce, for it was divine magic that could only be embodied by those who worshiped the Goddess.

Every single spell was faith. It contained the wishes of those who served the Goddess, and it was a doctrine. It had a weight that overwhelmed the usual rules of magic.

Nevartan’s magically unfolded shield was smashed. That was it. The dragon’s self-defense wasn’t just magic. Metatron might’ve drawn out exactly 213 magic circles in advance, and even achieved a Trinity with that, but it wasn’t enough to pierce the magic power and scales of an Old Dragon in a single shot.

Metatron also knew it. Their 18 pairs of wings vigorously waved at the same time that the magic was cast, and they were already in Nevartan’s vicinity.

Defeating an Old Dragon and the Martial God—Metatron had signed a contract with Judar on this condition and was in an intact state. Their speed and strength were unparalleled after freeing all their wings and regaining the freedom of their body. The speed of inserting a blade into Nevartan’s heart was comparable to that of Chiyou, who was ‘somewhat weakened by erasing his presence.’

However, there was a problem. The opponent was too bad.

[The prestige of the Old Dragons has dropped. I also contributed to the situation, so I don’t want to blame the others. It is just that at this point, my anger is rising.]

Up to the point when Nevartan went insane, the Old Dragons symbolized invincibility. Either because they were afraid or because they were dirty, even the arrogant gods of Asgard didn’t dare make eye contact with an Old Dragon. The majesty of the Old Dragons was so absolute that even the Goddess finally asked for a truce.
