Overgeared

“The number of familiar presences seems to be growing. Squeak.”

The Overgeared members were gathering in the East Continent. Grid felt it as well. It was why he continuously used Shunpo without giving himself any time to breathe.

Was Bunhelier bothered because of the fact that the yeouiju might be taken away? Bunhelier urged Grid, “Yes, hurry up. King Sobyeol isn’t someone who can be handled without you.”

Grid realized the identity of the strange sensation he had been feeling since before and asked a question, “Why are you constantly using a respectful term?”

“Respectful term?”

“Why do you keep calling him King Sobyeol?”

It had been like this since they were in the Blue Dragon’s area. Every time Sobyeol was mentioned, Bunhelier would give him the title of king. It wasn’t like an arrogant Old Dragon. He even strangely emphasized it. It made Grid wonder if there was a relationship between the two of them. A twisted smile spread across the little mouse’s face.

“Why is it respectful to call a god a king? The reason why Hanul gave his disciples the status of king wasn’t because he wanted them to be respected.”

“...Ah?”

“It is rare to find someone as naive as Yatan.”

***

The number of arrows that rained down every time the bowstring was released was so high that it was hard to guess the number. It wasn’t even read properly with Yeoam’s five senses. This was one of the strengths of the colorless divinity.

The divinity of the brothers contained in the arrows fired by King Sobyeol was very powerful. The divinity quickly grasped and absorbed the principles of the daoist techniques that Yeoam had studied all his life and increased its power. It destroyed the miracle of the power of law that Yeoam had gained after repeated enlightenment and even pierced the amulets.

It was only when it was about to extinguish Natural State, which was wrapped around Yeoam’s skin, that it lost its power, scattered, and disappeared.

‘Gods are omnipotent.’

Daoist techniques, magic of law, amulets, and Natural State—they had different effects and were like a four-fold self-defense for Yeoam. He was confident that no matter what enemy he encountered, he would never be incapacitated in a single blow.

It was shameful arrogance.

Yeoam’s expression gradually darkened as he counted the number of amulets left. Even at this moment, he didn’t dare to resent the Sword Saint and Chivalrous Robbers, who were destroying the formations on the ground. It was true that they created the situation and brought King Sobyeol here, but Yeoam was a daoist immortal. He didn’t cultivate his entire life just to blame others.

‘It is my karma.’

The oral story that the imoogi lived here in the distant past didn’t disappear and spread secretly. Yeoam didn’t stop it even though it was obvious. He had to build a direct relationship with humans if he wanted to prevent the word-of-mouth transmission. It was an act that wasn’t suitable for his status, which was a person isolated from the world.

‘The best choice here is...’

Yeoam shook off his worthless thoughts and judged the situation. He judged that it would be better to take back the formations, which would be destroyed sooner or later, and recover even a little bit of the power of law contained in it.

Now that this had happened, he hoped that the present day Sword Saint could break the seal of the imoogi and get rid of it while he tied up the feet of King Sobyeol. Of course, the possibility of this happening wasn’t even 1%. The imoogi had two yeouijus and was like a living natural disaster. It was a powerful divine creature unlike any he had ever seen before.

It wouldn’t be easy for the previous generation Sword Saint to handle it, let alone the present day Sword Saint. Still, this was better than it being silently taken away by King Sobyeol.
