Overgeared Chapter 1323:
“Nya~ heung!”
“ . . . Who are you?”
Grid blinked after summoning Noe . There were shiny white feet and rounded feet like he was wearing mittens . Up to this point, it was exactly like Noe who became more beautiful after eating the thunder stone . . .
Clack clack!Clack!
While Grid was feeling confused, the Overgeared Skeletons got on Noe’s back and imitated riding a horse . That’s right—Noe’s petite body had become huge enough to carry the Overgeared Skeletons . His limbs and neck had become as thick as a log, and his face had become thinner and sharper when it was usually round and cute like a steamed bun . The mane that abundantly covered the head and chest was both threatening and beautiful .
“ . . . Why did you suddenly become a lion?”
Wasn’t he originally a cat? Where did the cute and adorable look go, and why did he suddenly become magnificent?
“This is the real appearance of a memphis, the best demonic beast in **** . ”
He stretched out his round feet and blade-like claws popped out . He looked really strong .
‘Was he in a reduced state in the human world due to a lack of demonic energy?’
No, it seemed he was really a cat until he ate the thunder stone, right? Why was he suddenly a lion? Grid recalled Noe’s old appearance of black fur and white feet and shook his head . It wasn’t a matter to think deeply about .
‘Noe is Noe regardless of what he looks like . ’
Grid checked Noe’s status window .

‘The growth is huge . ’
It seemed like Noe got 40 stat points with every level up . If Grid knew this, he wouldve placed more importance on intensively raising Noe .
‘No, the Overgeared Skeletons are good enough . ’

During the hunts in the Chaos Mountains and at the reservoir, Grid had been focused on raising the Overgeared Skeletons, not Noe . It was because he appreciated the Overgeared Skeletons’ potential to learn new skills more than Noe . The Overgeared Skeletons’ stats point gain per level was low at 8 points, but this was increased after their third class advancement . Therefore, there was hope for further increase in the future .
‘Both Noe and the Overgeared Skeletons must be raised well . ’
Was it because they had fought through life and death crises together and shared hardships? The Overgeared Skeletons climbed onto Noe’s back and Noe generously accepted them . Grid watched the scene happily when he suddenly pulled out his sword .
“Welcome . ”
It was because a red-skinned demonkin in a tailcoat approached Grid’s group . The single horn rising from the left side of the forehead and the sharp fans stood out . The demonic energy that rose as a daze haze around him was threatening .
“I was waiting . ”
He was completely different from the demonic creatures Grid had encountered on the way here . It was an intelligent being . The horn and demonic energy was too much to say that he resembled the demonkin Grid saw in the neutral zone . This feeling was similar to . . .
“A great demon?”
Yura explained to the nervous Grid, “There are three main types of races that lived in **** . They are demonic creatures, demonkin, and demons . ”
As the name suggested, demonic creatures were classified as monsters, and it was right to call demonkin the residents of **** . On the other hand, demons were nobles . It was a race qualified to covet the position of a great demon . The demons were small in number, but they had a very high combat strength and demonic power . They were also intelligent .
“Is he a candidate to be a great demon?”
“Yes . ”
‘They are like the yangbans of the Hwan Kingdom . ’
The future development was obvious . They were so arrogant that they looked down on humans . They were dirty and powerful . There was a high probability they would be aggressive and cruel .
‘Besides, this place is **** . ’
As the memphis proved, the demons and demonkin exerted their proper power in hell, not the human world . It meant that the demon in front of him might be stronger than the lower ranked great demons who came to the ground . Grid raised his tension as he expected a tough battle . Then the demon told him, “There is no need to be nervous . I have no intention of harming Master’s guest . ”
‘Master’s guest?’
Who was the owner who welcomed him as a guest? Grid was puzzled since he had no connections in **** .
“ . . . . . . ?”
He looked around without understanding anything before making eye contact with Yura . Yura’s gaze was endlessly serene and calm . She was neither agitated nor alert to the sudden appearance of the demon . Perhaps?
Grid was feeling surprised when he heard the demon continue speaking, “I was waiting for you to come back, Master . ”
The demon laid his hand on his heart and bowed to Yura .
“ . . . . . . ?!”
Grid was astonished . Yura chuckled at his confusion after witnessing an unbelievable situation . “Welcome to the Overgeared **** branch . ”
***
The 32nd Hell was originally the residence of the great demon, Belial . Since she was destroyed, the throne of the 32nd Hell became vacant and war between the demons broke out .
“The war in which 13 demons fought was terrible and fierce . Enemies became allies and allies became enemies . The battle pattern changed dozens of times a day . It felt like I had fallen into a storm I had never seen before . I couldn’t predict when this war would end . ”
Plop .
The demon placed a centipede into a kettle . The centipede didn’t die even after being immersed in boiling water . Every time the guy with **** feet twisted and trembled inside the hot water, the tea turned redder .
“I was growing weary of the ongoing war when I heard strange rumors . A human was appearing everywhere on the battlefield and killing demons . ”
The demon poured tea into Grid’s teacup . It was **** tea . It was so stinky that some people might wonder if it was sewage .
“The young demons snorted and wondered how a human could come to **** to harm us . However, I was different . It is because I’ve already experienced a human’s invasion . ”
The demon took off his gloves . His two exposed hands were black . The rest of his skin was red . Only his hands were black . Additionally, they looked heavy and hard like lead .
‘Prosthetic?’
“As the one who lost both hands to Demon Slayer Alex who invaded **** hundreds of years ago, I was convinced that the rumored human would be the new Demon Slayer . After waiting, I finally met Yura . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
Grid raised the red tea to his mouth . It was because Yura gestured for him to do so . What was this? It tasted good even though it was so stinky . The bitterness and sweetness that spread through his mouth was fascinating . The effect was awesome .
[Some of the demonic energy of **** has been detoxified . The penalties in **** are permanently reduced by 5% . ]
“Then I swore allegiance to Yura . ”
“Um . . . ”
Grid thought he would have a deep grudge because he lost both his hands to Alex . It was expected he would take revenge on Yura, yet he swore allegiance instead . There seemed to be a deep story .
“Did you receive a great favor from Alex?” Grid asked this question and the demon made an expression showing he didn’t understand .
“He cut off my hands . How can he show me a favor?”
“So why pledge allegiance to Yura?”
“I did it to save my life, of course . I was filled with resentment against the former Demon Slayer and wanted to repay the present Demon Slayer . I carried out a surprise attack and was beaten instead, so I had no choice . Sigh . . . ”
“ . . . Can you trust him?” Grid wondered .
Yura replied, “He has already signed a loyalty contract . A demon can’t break the contract even if dead so he can be trusted . Perhaps even more so than humans . ”
“That’s right . The limitation of the demons is that even if their head is cut off, they can’t betray the target of the contract . Alex knew it too so he signed a contract with me, who was wagging my tail like Cerberus . I wanted to hit him every time I saw the back of that head, but I couldn’t hit him . . . It was the first time I felt such a great sense of shame since being born as a demon . ”
“The problem isn’t that you are a demon . It is that you survived so far by signing contracts . ”
“It is right to survive even if I have to sign a contract . Why die in a situation where you never know when you’ll be resurrected? I must live . ”
Grid emptied the mug . He tried drinking another cup of tea . Unfortunately, the penalty reduction effect no longer occurred .
“There are hidden items in each area that will detoxify the demonic power of **** . I know a few places, so I’ll guide you later . ” It was Yura who reassured the disappointed Grid . Yura spoke to the demon who opened his mouth like there was still a lot left to say, “Did you check the succubi’s habitat?”
“Yes, they are bewitching the demonkin in Helitera Forest . ”
Yura’s acceptance of a demon as a subordinate was to take full control of the 32nd Hell .
The demons might’ve been driven out and the **** cleansed once, but quite a few demonkin and demonic creatures were still alive . Due to them, the 32nd Hell was destined to be recontaminated someday . The demonic energy would lure new demons . The moment one of them became a great demon, the 32 Hell would be completely revived .
To prevent this, Yura had to stay in the 32nd Hell . However, she had too much work to do . This was why she established an agent . The demon Glant had lived for thousands of years . His acumen was excellent, even when compared to a great demon . Thanks to this, the demonic energy of the 32nd Hell wasn’t easily recovered . From the point of view of a great demon, it would be seen as a wasteland without any nutrition .
“Okay . We will leave immediately . I’ll lead the way . Youngwoo, be sure to check the duration of the perfume . ”
“Yes . ”
It was really enjoyable to have so many people to rely on . A smile was on Grid’s face as he followed Yura while defeating demonic creatures . However, the smile didn’t last long .
“Why are they gasping like that?”
Helitera Forest—Grid frowned as he arrived at the place that he didn’t know why it was called a forest when it was colorless and had no vegetation . It was because the harsh breathing of the succubi was very embarrassing . He was wondering if he had to gag them if he wanted to take them around with him .
