Overgeared

It wasn’t hard to find Trauka’s lair.

He was the one who built his lair openly even during the Age of Oblivion.

If there was a place that didn’t belong to the Overgeared World even though it was on the West Continent, then it was a dragon’s lair. And among them, the largest and least secretive one was Trauka’s lair.

***

The scenery of the mountain range, which had never been seen on a map, was mysterious. Hundreds of eastern dragons seemed to be wandering around it.

“Going to the lair to collect minerals and going to the lair to kill a dragon,” Grid muttered as he stared at the mountains.

He had been talking non-stop since a while ago. Nefelina’s spirit was already nervous and sensitive. Then it gradually became fierce because of this. She wondered, “Why do you keep talking to yourself?”

“How am I talking to myself when you are next to me?”

“Were you talking to me? I don’t think you said that while hoping for an answer...”

“You should’ve answered it wisely. This is proof that your social skills are lacking. If you have decided to live a human life, then you should work harder.”

“I-Is that so...?”

Even if she was aware of all types of providence from the moment she was born, this was still only knowledge before experience was added. Grid’s opinion was that it wasn’t much different from those who were locked in a small room and only read books.

The young Nefelina was bound to be at a disadvantage against Grid.

‘Why am I making fun of her?’

Grid gradually felt sorry and shut up. He had regained his sanity since he saw that Marie Rose and his colleagues were safe. However, it made him even more afraid. It was a situation in which he had to face dozens of dragons. He felt certain that he would die.

However, there were things people should do. A farmer should harvest crops, a painter should paint, a person with a purpose should study, couples should love each other, etc. Grid also had a job to do, and it was something that only Grid could do. So he was trying to overcome his fears...

“Let’s go.” Grid eventually moved. It was toward a point where six particularly majestic mountain peaks were concentrated. It was the most central of all the places that could fully contain Trauka’s huge body, so he thought Trauka would be there.

It was as he expected.

[You have left the Overgeared World.]

From the moment he entered the mountain range, the correction effect of the Overgeared World disappeared. He entered a huge cave and a starry sky opened up in front of him.

[You have entered the lair of Fire Dragon Trauka.]

The gray landscape disturbed his view. Lava gushed out like a tsunami and hardened. A strangely shaped basalt was decorating the place.

“It is hot...” Grid looked up at the ceiling and murmured after taking a moment to contemplate the view of the endless expanse in the cave. He was anxious because he didn’t know when the strangely shaped rocks hanging from the ceiling would turn into lava again and pour down.

Then there was a roar from inside the cave. He couldn’t help wondering if there were dark clouds producing thunderstorms in there. Grid’s expression hardened as he moved while warily watching the strangely shaped rocks on the ceiling shaking from the roar.

Surprisingly, Nefelina relaxed. “It is just snoring.

“This...? Trauka must be sleeping well.”

“He is so seriously injured that it is surprising he is alive. It isn’t strange if he doesn’t recognize intruders.”
