Overgeared

“T-This is my first time seeing so many mystical characters.”

Noe was disgusted. Sesame-sized mystical characters filled the outer walls of the huge temple. He watched the alien language twitching and spinning and didn’t know how to read it.

Grid was in a similar situation. Of course, he understood how the mystical characters worked. Characters with different meanings were assembled into words, sentences, and so on, to produce a certain effect. They were similar to Zik’s runes. Grid was familiar with those.

While he was manufacturing his clone, there had been a process of utilizing god’s language, which was the origin of runes. As Grid was creating the clone, the characters that often emerged in his mind were the characters of the god’s language.

However, the characters he saw while creating the clone and the runes that Zik used weren’t very diverse. At most, dozens of characters were used to form words and letters. Meanwhile, the number of characters used by the demon cultivators seemed to exceed hundreds.

‘Does this mean that the words that can be created are beyond the realm of modern imagination? Is this really necessary? Is it simply because the characters failed to develop efficiently?’

The demon cultivators had many different types of characters. Theirs were mainly composed of pointed characters resembling the cuneiform script of ancient Mesopotamia, but there were also a variety of hieroglyphs reminiscent of skeletal gates and hieroglyphs that might have been used in primitive times.

‘Ah... That’s possible since the demon cultivators are animals by nature.’

For example, weren’t the characters used by bird cultivators different from the characters used by fish cultivators? The demon cultivators had surely shared some of the characters as time passed. This seemed pretty inefficient, but it was a pretty plausible hypothesis. Grid remembered once again that the beings lurking within the temple weren’t humans.

‘Those who used to be beasts are now pretending to be humans.’

They even tried to harm people while pretending to be humans. They shouldn’t exist. Harming these cultivators was essentially killing animals, so Grid’s actions wouldn’t have a negative impact on the prenatal education of his unborn child.

Grid had been uncomfortable in many ways because of the prenatal education notifications that kept popping up, but he was now relieved. He had thought that he should be mindful of killing in front of the child in the womb, but he came to the conclusion that he didn’t have to worry.

Marie Rose spoke softly from where she had been observing the flow of the mystical characters. “Don’t worry about the child. I shall let them rest for a while.”

Grid looked at Marie Rose somewhat resentful. “...Is that possible?”

Why hadn’t she done that from the beginning?

Marie Rose tilted her head and asked, “Didn’t you like interacting with your child?”

“T-That’s not it...”

“Hehe, I was joking. I thought it was cute to see you flustered, so I watched you for a while.”

“...You are mischievous.”

“Really? Then punish me, just like that night.”

“......”

Grid was very embarrassed. His face was red from ear to ear, and he couldn’t look Marie Rose straight in the eyes.

Noe looked incredulous.

“I’ve never seen anyone mess with Grid, nyang...”

Noe was truly from hell. He fully understood the logic of the strong eating the weak and took advantage of it. Before he knew it, he was clinging to Marie Rose’s side instead of Grid.
