Overgeared

‘Damn the Sword Saint!’

The top dragon Kubartos, an Absolute being, with his ambition to stand above the old dragons, had seriously been wounded twice today.

Biban’s mental world proved to be the decisive factor. After suffering the slash made by the Heart Sword containing an incomplete but useful dragon killing energy, Kubartos suffered immense damage and was greatly weakened.

His body didn’t suffer that much damage, but the blows to the blood vessels and his consciousness were critical, making it difficult to use magic power or true energy. The power of his Breath and magic also decreased.

Around thirty percent of his overall power had fallen. A more severe problem was that his perception had been damaged. Sound, touch, spatial awareness, and the flow of divine energy, which he used to take for granted, became fuzzy. He was unable to display the full extent of his power anymore.

He was weakened, his consciousness divided into hundreds or thousands of fragments. Because of this, he’d allowed the humans to land their attacks on him several times. Kraugel’s use of the fire dragon’s fire energy also caused his scales’ durability to weaken rapidly.

The fire energy was the polar opposite of metal. Of course, this didn’t mean he was going to lose or die to the humans. He hadn’t used Dragon Words yet. But...

‘Rebecca’s hope.’

Grid’s son was very annoying.

He performed a sword dance that imitated his father’s, the technique flawless, making it difficult to defend against or evade. It also seemed to exert a certain gravitational pull. It was hard to understand the principle but... Lord’s sword dance attracted other people’s magic and skills and made them act as one, thus doubling its power.

‘What is the nature of this union? Is it a fate created by the goddess’ protection? Was it leadership created by Grid’s lineage? Or was it the result of a combination of both?’

The principle for Lord’s unity was his ‘human connections.’ His behavior and convictions captured people’s trust and hearts, serving as the foothold for the formation of a great bond. Thus, the sword dance became the pivot for their connection.

To put it in player terms, it was an ‘exclusive skill’ that a super named NPC awakened. From the worldview’s perspective, it was a ‘power.’ Just as Piaro was born with the qualities of a farmer, Braham with a talent for magic and Kyle with electricity, Lord’s power was created when his innate qualities blossomed after stumbling upon the opportunity to make connections.

This was why Lord’s sword dance induced the ‘skill fusion’ of his colleagues. However, a dragon didn’t understand concepts such as emotions and connections.

Dragons were complete when they worked alone, so they didn’t feel the need to interact with others. Consequently, they couldn’t experience the infinite variety of emotions and relationships. It was impossible for them to understand the principle of connection that stretched out like the branches of the World Tree around the person called Lord.

‘I’m going to catch him and dissect him.’

[The horn of the most faithful dragon was cut off...]

Just in time, Grid’s epic was updated.

Haranbeka, the faithful dragon. The ‘horn’ of an earth dragon, who surpassed a top dragon in terms of defense, had been cut off. It seemed hard to believe, considering that there were several lower-ranked dragons following Haranbeka.

Grid had achieved something that even Kubartos couldn’t do.

‘The situation here is equally unbelievable.’

Unexpected results kept occurring...

Kubartos felt anxiety overtake him, so he adjusted his tactics. The first sign of change was in his magic. Kubartos released rain and rivers of flames. The magicians responded by making corresponding ice barriers and vortexes, but...

“Remove the magic immediately!”

Braham was shocked.

Jessica and Euphemina were the only magicians who acknowledged his command immediately.

The rivers of flames pouring toward the mountain ranges were replaced with lightning. The ice and water magic cast by the magicians ended up amplifying the lightning’s power. The Overgeared members were swept away without being able to fight back.

“What is this...? He changed the attribute of the magic he cast halfway?”

The situation changed for the worse. The top forces, who barely managed to secure a gap between themselves and a giant dragon in the sky, were all electrocuted and collapsed.

Someone needed to pull the aggro to create an opportunity for the rest to charge forward again. However, Lord, Kyle, and Chris were seriously injured.
