Overgeared

Among Faker’s ultimate skills, there was one called Greed. He had inherited it from Kasim, the Shadow King.

Kasim was the last surviving member of the Nero tribe. This was a minority group that had been destroyed by Juander. After learning the history of the Nero tribe, Faker once confessed to Grid that, if he happened to meet Juander, he would hurt the former emperor even if Juander had turned into a hero who saved people. Faker hated Juander after finding out the origin of Greed.

Of course, Faker was a composed guy. No incidents occurred when he actually met Juander.

Did he give up because he saw Juander and Chensler’s skills and decided he had no chance of winning? Was he good at controlling emotions and distinguishing between public and private matters? Or had Kasim, who had already forgiven Juander, persuaded him to give up? Grid didn’t know the details but, in any case... Greed was a myth born from the history of oppressed people and proof of their pain.

Greed was the name of a greedy monster, the incarnation of greed who ate everything and eventually devoured itself. From the Nero tribe’s perspective, the Greed of this world had been Emperor Juander. He was a monster who had wanted to devour everything except for the Saharan Empire.

‘Wasn’t Jormungandr the actual origin of the word ‘greed?’”

Jormungandr was a giant snake who chewed on his own tail because he couldn’t handle his infinitely growing body. Grid was reminded of Greed as he observed Jormungandr floating in the middle of the space.

Marie Rose told him, “I am about to become jealous of that snake.”

“...Ah, I’m sorry.”

Grid regained his senses thanks to Marie Rose and took his eyes off Jormungandr. The reason he came here was to find the Full Moon Fortress. He was in a dangerous area where even the gods weren’t allowed to enter without permission. This was one of the most suitable places for the demon cultivators to be in, who were collaborating with Asura and Mumud to secretly build the Full Moon Fortress.

‘Shouldn’t they be here?’

Jormungandr’s residence was much harsher and more secretive than he thought. Mountains that rose like dragon’s fangs filled the land, creating thousands of canyons. There was no better place than this one to plot some evil scheme while avoiding the attention of others.

Marie Rose seemed to think the same. The two of them maximized their senses and carried out a full-fledged search. Grid took full advantage of Barbatos’ Vision and the God Hands, while Marie Rose summoned a blood mist and bats and spread them far and wide.

Jormungandr wasn’t aware of the newly arrived visitors. If Grid considered Satisfy a planet, Jormungandr was bigger than that planet. From the perspective of such an immense being, Grid and Marie Rose were as small as specks of dust. There was no way the serpent knew they were here. He wouldn’t even be able to see them.

In the first place, his eyes were closed.

“......!”

“......!”

Grid and Marie Rose were focused on exploring. Their eyes widened when they felt an intense gaze fall on them.

‘It can’t be?’

A chill went down their spines as they turned their heads to look behind them. The giant snake chewing on his tail still had his eyes closed...

“Ah.”

Grid sighed.
