Overgeared

[The world has overcome the crisis of destruction.]

For a moment, the members of the Overgeared Guild didn't understand the content of the world message.

It was a little while ago. The holy being, who appeared to bathe the world with light, blessed Hayate. She helped the hero’s stopped heart beat again.

However, the system misled the public the moment she left. It was as if she had brought danger to the world. It took them a moment to realize that it was an obvious distortion. It was to the point where they almost felt empathy for Baal.

“The power of the system is greater than I thought. It is unlikely that Grid’s epics will work to his advantage in the future.”

So far, Grid’s epics had mostly worked in his favor. In retrospect, this was only possible due to the system’s favor toward Grid. The epic itself was a system that used the world messages. Conversely, the system could weaken the epics.

“Grid must’ve expected it as well,” Katz casually said in the midst of the solemn atmosphere. He had witnessed Grid killing the 2nd Great Demon with one blow. Grid was Grid, even without the help of the epics.

“We don’t have to worry about Grid. We should devise a way to go forward.”

Katz made a self-deprecating remark.

There was no Grid today. Despite the cooperation of thousands of people, the members of the Overgeared Guild were unable to eliminate even one low-grade dragon. They had accomplished the goal of saving the tower members, but only with the help of Cranbel.

They were powerless.

In the end, no one could refute Katz, who was gritting his teeth.

Hunting dragons? So far, no one had done it except for Hayate.

It went without saying that they couldn’t hunt dragons. They knew it was obvious but they were resentful. They were armed with dragon weapons and armor. It was like carrying the goodwill and faith of Grid on their shoulders. They might be just a speck of dust alone, but if they all worked together, it was right to live up to his belief to a certain extent.

However, they couldn’t do so.

“There is no soul.” Someone’s voice rang out at the scene where all types of emotions were intersecting. There were many people who felt it was unfamiliar. It was because it was Knight who opened his mouth.

He was directly recruited by Lauel as an inspector. It hadn’t been long since he joined the Overgeared Guild. Due to the role he played, he had little interaction with the members.

“This person... he might never be able to open his eyes in this state.”

Knight, who was sitting beside Hayate, spoke like a doctor diagnosing the patient. Nobody could criticize his attitude.

Knight was the owner of a hidden class called the Death God. He had the ability to carve curses on the subject’s soul and consume a special resource called ‘soul gauge.’ It meant he could identify the soul.

“It seems that the soul left his body when he died. I think he is probably wandering in hell by now.”

“I will call the hell branch right away to search for his soul.”

Yura pulled out a crystal ball. It was an item that could communicate with the red demon in hell.

Knight reacted with skepticism. “The number of souls living in hell must be in the tens of billions. I wonder if it will be easy to find him. In particular, the appearance of the soul body is different from the actual appearance. It is hard to recognize them because most of them looked like how they looked when they were the happiest or experienced great trauma.”

“Then we should just wait for Hayate to come back on his own?”

“Who knows? He must think he is dead... he might believe there is no physical body to return to. His memories won’t be intact and the chances of him coming back on his own are low.”

In the end, it meant one thing.

“I guess I will have to pick him up myself.”

Knight would go and bring Hayate back.
