Overgeared

Tenacity, persistence, hard work—these were the driving forces behind Grid’s growth.

Like the main protagonist of a shonen manga, his story of breaking through the limit several times without giving up was incredibly famous. However, there was actually one more aspect that had made Grid who he was—wrath.

Back when he used to be weak and pathetic, Grid used to direct it at himself and at others who stood in his way. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The abyss that made up Grid was full of venom. Of course, because of the many responsibilities he shouldered, often times he couldn’t do what he wanted and had to compromise, but...

‘...It’s impossible to compromise with someone who has stolen all of my accomplishments and turned me into a lich.’

For example, Mumud and Kasim were completely different. Kasim, the King of Shadows, used to hold a tremendous grudge against Empire Juander and the Saharan Empire. He used to live only for revenge. However, Grid hoped that Kasim would let go of his grudge. Why did he want this? It wasn’t because Grid didn’t have a conscience, or because he looked down on the weight of Kasim’s grudge.

‘Kasim has Lord.’

Kasim wasn’t alone. He had been with Lord since Lord was born. They were best friends, a teacher and disciple who learned from each other, friends who had no secrets from each other, and family. Like Grid and Khan, Lord and Kasim’s relationship was unique. Kasim was also aware of this fact. If he forced himself to get revenge and made a mistake, Lord would be the one who would be very upset.

So, Kasim gave up his revenge. He surely didn’t forgive his enemy for destroying his home, but he gave up on killing him. Love calmed his anger. However, Mumud didn’t have someone like Lord. Except for him, all the other angels were just soldiers who acted according to the will of the gods. They didn’t keep the memories of their previous lives.

Did this mean the gods would become friends with Mumud? There was no way. To gods, angels were nothing more than convenient tools. The gods treated even Raphael, the first ranked archangel, as a servant.

Here in Asgard, Mumud surely felt alone. There was no reason for him to suppress the hatred in his heart. The most important thing was...

“You have too much to hide from me.”

Grid had interrogated the demon cultivators using the Memory Searching Technique. At that time, he learned that archangels such as Metatron and Raphael were helping with the construction of the Full Moon Fortress. However, Metatron was trapped in the depths of Asgard with Dominion’s group.

“You weren’t the only one who led the construction of the Full Moon Fortress, right? Aren’t Metatron and Raphael behind it as well? Among them, Metatron seems to have dropped out along the way, but...”

Grid didn’t know the details, but Metatron definitely changed course along the way. Instead of cooperating with the demon cultivators, they decided to follow Dominion. Because of that, Metatron was trapped along with Dominion.

“Where is Raphael?”

Grid was wary of his surroundings. Of course, Raphael wasn’t a threat to him. Grid could probably kill Raphael with a single blow, though that was a bit of an exaggeration. This didn’t mean that he intended to ignore how powerful the first ranked archangel was. If the opponent was openly plotting, then Grid should be vigilant.

“Do you think I’m playing the role of a decoy?” Mumud wondered.

“It would be difficult to disobey the orders of an archangel since you’re an angel. Above all, your story can easily mislead me. It seems fitting for Raphael to use you as bait.”

“Is that so?”

On the contrary, he had a wide
