Overgeared

[Betrayal... That is a poor interpretation.]

Judar’s eyes were transparent and lifeless, resembling a piece of glass work. He slowly scanned the blood-stained battlefield.

[It is said you dragons have gained near-omniscient abilities thanks to the protection of the foreign god. But in the end, that knowledge is only ‘transmitted.’ So it has to undergo one round of processing. It is definitely distorted.]

[You have always been jealous of us. This inexplicable nonsense is probably motivated by a sense of inferiority.]

Kubartos was admitting that the situation was unfavorable. He roughly matched Judar’s nonsense while secretly preparing his magic. He intended to pour everything out and kill Asura, who was trampling on the back of his neck.

[What do you mean by nonsense? The fact that you are in trouble right now proves that your omniscience isn’t perfect.]

Judar spoke calmly, but it sounded like mockery to Kubartos. The dragon took advantage of this. Kubartos feigned anger and spontaneously poured out magic.

To his surprise, Asura promptly responded. Even though he reacted barely one second later, he drew his blunt sword and swung it at the bombardment.

[......!]

Kubartos’ composure was shaken. He had cast dozens of spells with the ‘full power’ borrowed from the time reversal, yet dozens of them were slashed by a single sword.

‘This is really Chiyou’s swordsmanship...!’

Kubartos’ struggle intensified, but this time he wasn’t pretending. He released magic and Breaths in all directions while wildly swinging his tail and claws.

Asura quickly turned into rags, but he was acquainted with some of Chiyou’s skills. He responded to Kubartos’s rampage with various martial arts and suppressed him so he wouldn’t be able to take flight anymore.

The loot that Judar gained from hell had clearly been honed since Chiyou attacked Grid.

This level of trolling surpassed even Braham’s.

In any case, Judar kept talking.

[On the other hand, I observe most situations from heaven.]

Unlike the Hwan Kingdom, which only featured small ponds and wells, Asgard had a number of lakes and rivers flowing through the land. Using these, the heavenly gods were able to observe the dimensions beneath the sky.

In particular, Judar was the most powerful god, and he had many eyes and ears.

[Unlike you, who relies on distorted information, I can understand the overall flow of the world more closely. The reason I have joined the battlefield now is because I have confirmed that our alliance has been rendered worthless. I have calculated how to best use you in this modified situation. This isn’t a betrayal. There is no longer a need for our alliance since you are incompetent.]

[What kind of logic is this...? You are more shameless than me!!]

Kubartos was unable to keep listening to the traitor’s sophistry and roared like a beast. His horn was emitting a bright light. He was using an organ that was just as important as the heart, due to its symbolism, as a direct means of attack.

It was evidence that he was so angry, he couldn’t even bother thinking of the consequences.
