Overgeared

“Hmm...”

The woman standing in the back of the small ship pondered for a moment.

A group of mortals were huddled together on the dock, hard at work, smelting something. Whatever it was they were working on, they seemed to be almost done. She wanted to kill and plunder them all.

‘There is no way that an object smelted by the myriad spirits treasure box is ordinary. From what I can tell, it seems that it will be of the same quality as this ship... It bothers me that mortals possess the highest level of refinement. Who is the one behind distributing so many myriad spirits treasure boxes to mortals and teaching them how to use it?’

The woman suppressed her killing intent. There were too many mortals. She didn’t know what type of consequences would occur if she killed all of them and provoked an unknown backer.

‘First, let’s move according to plan.’

The woman made a strange gesture with her fingers, forming a hand seal. The speedboat she was on turned gold and there was a loud sound. Waves rose, like a tsunami was about to come into being. The woman moved tens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

‘An underwater city...’

A few days ago, she woke up in a random city. She used soul extraction on the first mortal she met to read his memories and learn the language. According to the information she obtained at that time, there was an underwater city called Siren nearby.

‘The inner core of the sea people is precious. Let’s turn them into sweet medicine and focus on raising my realm for the moment.’

The ship carrying the woman disappeared into the depths of the sea.

On a certain mountain range…

An old man sighed in defeat after looking up at the night sky for days. “There are no constellations to raise an offering for! What a deep abyss this other world has sunk into! Now that things are like this, I have to refine the Selecting Star. Since I already have the key ingredients, I will be able to collect the rest of the materials after two hundred years of hard work. It’s just that… The chances of succeeding in refining it all at once are too small. I should seek out my seniors to help me out, but how much will they ask for... Um?”

The old man’s gaze shifted to the ridge a few kilometers away, where a man was leaping up a rough mountain.

‘A warrior? It is the qi refining realm and his agility is unusual. Is he from a powerful family? In any case, he must’ve had a great teacher. I should ask him about the whereabouts of his senior.”

The old man was delighted to find the cultivator and turned into a flash of light. The sight of the man climbing the rocks started to expand rapidly in the old man’s field of view.

“......!”

The warrior drew his sword and gripped it when he noticed the old man approach. The blade of the sword had a golden aura around it, and it looked quite imposing.

The old man’s eyes lit up.

“A sword forged from dragon bones. Not bones of a true dragon, but ones from a wandering dragon. Still, quite a rare material. Why was it only forged into a blade?”

The old man felt like the heavens were helping him.

“You are a rogue cultivator. I don’t have anyone around me to turn to for advice, so I am clueless. Give me the sword. I’ll show you how to refine it again as a senior.”

“A rogue cultivator...? Are you religious? Do you just mean a cultivator?”

“Culti—what? What are you saying?”

The old man looked bewildered. He snorted and began reciting an unfamiliar spell. A transparent hand floated in the air and tried to snatch the warrior’s sword. The warrior took a step back and swung his weapon. The transparent hand was split in half and scattered into dust.

The old man’s white eyebrows trembled.

“Swordsman! A warrior managed to slash me? Ah! You’ve mastered the secret art of hiding your real power, and are playing tricks on an old man!”

The expression on the old man’s face changed gradually as he shouted. He at first looked embarrassed, then angry, then convinced. He eventually sneered. To put it in Grid’s words, he was driving himself crazy. Upon seeing this stranger’s reactions, the man, Kraugel, sighed.
