Overgeared

A daoist immortal was a being who left the world and took nature as a friend. They weren’t bound by the common sense of human society, didn’t suffer pain or disease, and were immortal. This was why those called the daoists dreamed of ascending to Shangri-La. Most daoists had the aspiration of gaining eternal life, so they turned their backs on the world and devoted themselves to cultivation.

[It is more like a lich.] This was Braham’s sentiment. It was while checking on Yeoam, who was still alive despite being cut by the sword. He didn’t die despite his body being cut in half.

Braham added, [Now that I see it, aren’t they crazy guys?]

There was a perception among players that daoist immortals were good. It was a perception created by Bentao. He was clearly a good man who tried to clear the name of the Seven Malignant Saints. Naturally, Braham was also influenced by the Overgeared Guild. Since people had a positive evaluation of Bentao, they also recognized the daoist immortals as good beings.

They only thought the reason why they cultivated and became a half-god was to gain the strength to contribute to the ‘peace of humanity’ like Grid.

They were mistaken. Braham noticed that the daoist immortals were close to madmen.

“It is different from a lich. The lich are monsters who acquired eternal life to satisfy their desire for inquiry, while we have cultivated for the purpose of achieving eternal life itself,” Yeoam argued.

Unlike the lich, who used eternal life as a ‘means’, the daoist immortals made eternal life their ‘purpose.’

The difference was huge.

The lich were studious existences. In order to reach the limit of magic, they abandoned their human body and turned themselves into the undead to transcend death. They were those who would do anything for the sake of magic. They were capable of doing some pretty crazy things unless they were controlled by someone, like the liches of the No Offspring Tomb.

On the other hand, the daoist immortals trained to achieve eternal life. It meant they had already achieved what they wanted at the time they became daoist immortals. There was nothing for them to cling to any longer.

Therefore, they weren’t bound by material things and they were very free in their principles of action. Just like humans, there were many different groups and there were many good ones among them. The evidence was those who struggled for others or for the world, such as Bentao and Yeo Yulan.

[......]

Braham didn’t really object. In the first place, he didn’t care if the daoist immortals were good or bad. He silently turned his back and pursued King Sobyeol. He moved purely using physical force without using Teleport.

Currently, there were a total of 27 enhancement spells imprinted on Braham’s body. They each had a different duration and cooldown. Ignoring this and keeping it active at all times required a high degree of concentration, even for the God of Magic. The moment that other magic was invoked, the balance was likely to collapse.

Unlike Braham, King Sobyeol moved freely. He repeatedly used Shunpo and landed on the head of the imoogi that stood tall as if to pierce the sky. [It is too majestic to treat you as a mere monster. How long did Yeoam have to endure in order to seal you?]

“King Sobyeol...!” The faces of the members of the Overgeared Guild hardened.

At the same time that Kraugel destroyed the formations, they carried out large-scale movement toward the coordinates given by Faker. They joined smoothly thanks to Euphemina. It didn’t matter how strong the imoogi who just woke up was. They had enough power to challenge a raid.

“I will focus on recovery.”

This imoogi was bigger than expected. If the head was flat without horns and the face didn’t resemble a snake, wouldn’t it be okay to just call it a dragon?

King Sobyeol’s appearance on top of such a monster was so terrifying that it was overwhelming. It was perceived as a great danger.

However, Euphemina didn’t stop using Mana Drain. Thanks to Piaro’s field magic, she was able to suck up the mana that was overflowing in the atmosphere without hesitation. She trusted the protection of her colleagues.

[You have divinity. It is extraordinary. The next best magician after Grid’s right hand man.] King Sobyeol said while pulling the string of the great bow.

It was aimed at the air. Originally, it was normal not to know who he was targeting. However, the intention engraved into the space gave a hint to the members of the Overgeared Guild.

The moment Toban noticed that King Sobyeol was aiming for Euphemina, he designated her as his protection target. He used his defensive skills and raised his shield to prepare for the arrows that were about to rain down.

Soon—

The rain of intangible arrows slammed against Toban’s shield.

A shield made of dragon bones and scales—it withstood even the arrows of divinity.

Toban trembled at the weight of each arrow before barely managing to speak, “Finally...! I finally paid for the value...!”

This was a god.

Toban’s limbs were intact even after blocking the baptism of arrows shot by an Absolute. It was distinctly different from the past.

The strongest beings in the world who had been fighting against Grid—Toban would often cross the threshold of death by blocking their blows. Unlike Vantner, he couldn’t even claim to be ‘Grid’s shield’ as a joke. But wasn’t it worth claiming it now?
