Overgeared

“A wolf appeared. A wolf appeared...”

The more excited Grid talked, the quieter the surroundings became.

“...It is so unpleasant that I can’t stand it.”

Three dragons, who were looking at Grid in bewilderment, took back their weapons. Now they were glaring at Revola. It was as if to reproach him for comparing them to shepherds.

“It feels like my status is being undermined. Stop playing with low-quality words and we’ll go back.”

It was a battle between Absolutes. They believed that it was right to act noble. Moreover, wasn’t Grid the great being who revived the protection of the Refractive Dragon.

In fact, the Grid they saw was much different from what they expected. The more they competed with him, the more they felt like they were becoming a mess. It often felt like the blood in their head was flowing backwards. It felt like they would go crazy or suffer internal injuries if they continued.

“If you leave now, I will regard you to be in the same group as Herut.”

Revola, who had been showing an amiable expression for some time, warned them coldly. Perhaps it was affected by his emotions, but the ice barrier he spread out had become thicker.

“Bah, do whatever you like.”

The three dragons snorted and started to melt the ice barrier with the Breaths they were holding in their hands. Revola was able to create another barrier to stop them from leaving, but he decided it was a bad idea to provoke them further. He decided to let them go for now.

“Hey... Is it because you were eating each other not too long ago? There is a lack of cooperation. You aren’t even a third-rate mercenary group. Does it make sense for you to fight among yourselves during a battle?”

Grid chattered in a tireless manner.

At this moment, the three dragons who broke through the ice wall stared at him. Their attitude was completely different from Herut’s group, which had left earlier. They looked like they would wait outside the lair and attack Grid if Grid succeeded in escaping from here.

“...Goodbye.”

Grid said goodbye to them awkwardly. There was no reason to provoke the leaving enemy. Of course, he wouldn’t have let them go if the enemies were weak...

‘Am I strong against the weak?’

Grid was questioning it again, only to become surprised. A strange sound entered his ears. It was a noise that came from the green dragon, whose neck had been pierced by Grid standing on his back. It was due to his body enlarging. He felt his life being threatened and released Polymorph.

Grid’s field of view expanded greatly. The green dragon’s health gauge, which had dropped to a minimum, changed color after being fully charged three times. The total health of the dragon, who had regained his original form, seemed to be at least three times higher than in his polymorphed state.

“Tsk.” Grid was startled by the eerie sensation of the strangely shaped rocks hanging from the ceiling grazing the top of his head. Then he jumped swiftly from the dragon’s neck. The large tail wielded by the green dragon collided with his sword. Grid couldn’t hold on and succumbed to the shock. He flew away and stood with his back to Trauka.

“Calm down.” Revola couldn’t sit idly by as the space shook violently and rocks fell violently. The unusually wide lair had an unusual structure. Except for the nest where Trauka was currently sleeping, the elevation was low. This meant it couldn’t fully handle the size of a dragon.

It was for a practical reason. If Trauka had expanded the entire lair to be like his nest, the stability of the ground would’ve been lost and it would’ve been unsafe.

[Grrrrr....]

The green dragon lowered his shoulders so as to not crush the lair. Then he barely withdrew the Breath he had stored in his mouth. He regained his reason when he saw Grid, who dared to give him the fear of death, standing with his back to Trauka again.

It happened the moment he polymorphed to human form again...

The God Hands, which had been scattered all over the space, performed the sword dance in unison.

Then Revola intervened. He raised his magic power and the chill around him intensified, causing a blizzard to swirl. All the black-gold hands that were making the motion to fire sword energy froze. At the same time, dozens of large hands made of dirt sprang out from all directions. They grabbed the frozen God Hands and buried them in the ground.
