Overgeared Chapter 1421:
It was after sending the intruders out of the castle .
“”Was that the Sword Saint just now? No, it isn’t Sword Saint Kraugel . I saw him directly in the human world . Then that person . . . ””
Dantalion’s faces muttered with serious expressions .
A castle built by eight brains that boasted the largest amount of accumulated knowledge, spanning thousands of years . The ‘Indestructible Castle’ that had hundreds of high-level barriers imprinted on it was sliced like tofu . Of course, the castle was still intact . Grid might’ve cut at the castle but the damaged part wasn’t even one-thousandth of the total size of the castle . However, there was a possibility that the castle could be knocked down .
“”Destroying a castle that is only possible for the dragons, the original gods and the Sword Saint? That’s right . It has actually been proven . The hatchling couldn’t scratch it but it was because the hatchling was too young . There might be a mistake in my calculations . . . Hmm, what nonsense . There is no error when I can see everything . ””
Dantalion knew Grid . It was because they had been entangled several times, directly and indirectly . Still, he would’ve known Grid even if they hadn’t been entangled . Grid’s reputation was too high . In addition, the book in Dantalion’s hands showed the future . Of course, this wasn’t omnipotent . The scope of the future couldn’t be determined .
“”Those guys are camped outside the castle . I let them go . Why aren’t they leaving? They are aiming at me . This is dangerous . Danger . Let’s go to the human world right now, kill 666 people and open the book of the future . No, I can’t leave now . I will lose my castle . ””
Dantalion was agitated . He was the most powerful being who had the power of all the past legends but he wouldn’t be able to win a battle against those camped outside the castle . He believed that he would have a chance of winning by using this Indestructible Castle as a shield and the knowledge he had accumulated for thousands of years . However, this story changed after Grid used a skill that was like the Sword Saint .
“”Give up the castle . No . It is a castle built from thousands of years of study and 6 . 66 million humans as sacrifices . Why don’t I ask Amoract for help? What? Do I want to commit suicide?””
Dantalion officially belonged to Amoract’s faction but he didn’t trust Amoract . Amoract was a blind fanatic of Yatan . Amoract would never forgive him the moment he scolded Yatan . The eight faces would argue with each other thanks to the power of conflict and he would die the most terrible death in the world as an offering to Yatan .
“”Should I rely on Baal instead? It is better to die than to pester than guy . ””
Dantalion sighed and looked out the window .
Grid had become a **** with a human body .
The hatchling of the insane dragon, Beriache’s son who was the strongest magic user, the master of Keen Insight, a fallen archangel, the incarnation of the seven malignant saints, the Demon Slayer, a farmer . . . except for one person, their status and skills were great .
Their present would surely be carved into the myths .
The eight faces of Dantalion were worried for a long time and murmured . “”They must be pursuing high ideals which is why so many great people have gathered together . That’s right . It isn’t just one purpose . It must be a difficult goal that they need to be together to achieve . They would want to borrow a demon’s hand . There is no problem with a **** and demon holding hands . There is already precedent . ””
A smile flashed across Dantalion’s faces as he thought about the ‘invasion of Behen Archipelago’ that was the joint venture between Hexetia and the great demons .
***
‘I didn’t expect the skill to be interrupted in the middle . ’
Grid who safely retreated from the black crystal castle was frustrated . He originally planned to destroy the castle so he immediately used a five fusion dance . Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle . He didn’t doubt that the dance of destruction done with the Falling Moon Sword would turn the black crystal castle into scorched earth .
He was mistaken . The moment he swung the first part of Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle, the Falling Moon Sword almost popped out of his hand . It was because the skill action was interrupted and it stopped triggering . The constraint of the Falling Moon Sword that meant it could only be wielded once every 10 minutes also applied to skills . The one time referred to here really meant only one action .
‘Dammit, dammit . . . ’
It seemed he now knew why it wasn’t called the Scorched Earth Sword . The Falling Moon Sword didn’t deserve the wonderful name of ‘scorched earth . ’
‘In the first place, the moon night iron is a mineral with too many constraints . ’
There was too much personality . It had taken more than half a month to strengthen . In fact, the blade of the Falling Moon Sword contained no Greed at all . Only the black handle under the blade was made of Greed . Nevertheless, the infinite durability meant the moon night iron was a great mineral . . . It was just a pity compared to Greed, which had harmony with any mineral .
‘In the end, the potential of Greed is the best . . . I can probably only make the Scorched Earth Sword after Braham finishes forging the mineral . ’
Gravurnium . When would it be finished? It felt like time was flowing too slowly when he eagerly desired it .
“ . . . . . . ”
The messengers watched the depressed Grid silently . To be exact, they were watching the Falling Moon Sword in Grid’s hand . Nefelina spoke first, “That sword is dangerous . ”
Grid nodded . “Yes, it is dangerous . It is incredibly dangerous . ”
It was a sword that risked its master’s life . If he swung the Falling Moon Sword when fighting an enemy then he would open himself up to a counterattack . The activation of the fusion sword dance would be stopped and a gap would be revealed that could allow the enemy to cut off his head .
‘It is my fault for not doing a proper performance test . ’
Of course, he had tried it several times . However, it was just at the level of cutting something to test the power . He tested what could be cut and confirmed it really could cut anything . The enhanced moon night iron cut even things with infinite durability like Greed . To be exact, it caused a weakness that reduced the durability and then cut it . . . Regardless of the principle, it was likely to neutralize a dragon’s absolute defense .
Nefelina’s thoughts were the same . “I hope you can lend me that sword one day . ”
“Is it to get revenge on the evil dragon?”
“Yes . ”
“Of course I have to lend it to you . ” Grid nodded . In any case, Nefelina’s revenge was a story for at least hundreds of years later . Grid would no longer exist in the world once she became an adult dragon . There were no problems even if he promised without much thought .
However, Nefelina didn’t know his inner thoughts . From her standpoint, Grid was a **** . She misunderstood that Grid would be alive when she became an adult . “If my revenge fails then it will trouble you . . . I will pay you back for lending me the sword . ”
“I’m afraid but what can I do? I’ve been watching you since you were an egg . You are my messenger . It is impossible to turn away from you . ”
“ . . . Thank you . ”
[Affinity with your messenger ‘Nefelina’ has increased by 20 . ]
Nefelina was purely moved . Grid felt like he had been pricked but he just changed the subject . “Let’s focus on the situation in front of us first . How can we kill Dantalion?”
Dantalion had opened a gate for Grid’s party . It was the exit to the 24th Hell but Grid’s party avoided the exit and returned to the entrance . They stood facing the black crystal castle again . They were determined to end the battle with Dantalion . The ultimate goal of this **** expedition was to grow . Leave the target alive and flee instead of killing him to grow? How funny .
In particular, Dantalion was a demon who had knowledge in all fields and left it as a record . Grid still vividly remembered the Dantalion’s Knowledge Fragment that was acquired after killing Yatan’s servant .
‘The fragment gave Fighting Knowledge . It added one level to all combat skills and raised attack speed and evasion . ’
It was really big compensation when thinking about it now . Just a fragment could exert that much power . How great would Dantalion’s complete knowledge be?
‘If we kill Dantalion then there is a high probability he will drop skill level ups that aren’t limited by class . ’
There was also the possibility of dropping the skills of former legends . Dantalion had accumulated knowledge about the previous legends and was actually able to implement some of their skills .
‘I have to kill him . ’
Grid felt a sense of mission . He felt a greed he never experienced before as he stared at the black crystal castle . However, this castle was the problem .
‘It doesn’t mean there is no way . ’
If he put the entire castle in his vision and used the Undefeated King’s swordsmanship then he could cut that huge castle in half .
‘If I keep cutting, the black crystals will break apart . ’
There was just one problem . The Falling Moon Sword could only be wielded once every 10 minutes . Dantalion would find out this fact .
‘It will be tough in the future if he shares this information with other great demons . ’
The great demons were violent but not ignorant . Apart from a small percentage of them, they had high intelligence and their level wasn’t much different from that of humans . They had common sense . ‘I have to create variables to win against them and the Falling Moon Sword is the best weapon to create variables . ’
No matter how gorgeous Grid’s party was, they would lose their firepower as they ventured deeper into **** . The ranking of the great demons would rise while Grid’s party would receive stronger penalties . Of course, Grid, Yura and Sariel were the exceptions but three people weren’t enough . The situation of suppressing great demons was almost at an end . At that time, the secret card of the Falling Moon Sword would be a great help .
‘There are many tools to alleviate the penalties of **** . The problem is the performance but if I use them to create items, won’t it be possible to amplify the power? In any case, the priority now is to bring Dantalion out of the castle . . . ’
Then what means should he use?
Grid was struggling when Zikfrector opened his mouth . “Mercedes, can you analyze the black crystals with your Keen Insight?”
“There are too many distortions . if it stays in this state then I could analyze it in two hours, but the arts keep changing in real time or they’re being added . . . ”
“Yura, can you use the anti-magic power to repel the demonic energy in it for a while? Once there is no demonic energy, the magic arts will stop . ”
Anti-magic power . It was the resource of the Demon Slayer to resist demonic energy . It looked similar to divine power at first glance but it was a very different concept .
“It hasn’t been long since I’ve opened anti-magic power . It hasn’t reached the level where it can be used in actual combat yet . ” Yura’s eyes were shaken . She was annoyed at herself for not playing the role of the Demon Slayer despite being the Demon Slayer .
Grid led the conversation before her negative thoughts could deepen . “Braham, is there any magic that can target a person and forcibly transport it?”
“By modifying the magic circle of Mass Teleport, it is possible to forcibly transfer a person even if they don’t accept it . However, creating the magic circle requires a lot of time to create and to trigger . The biggest problem is that the magic circle won’t start in that castle . ”
He just spoke casually but it was really possible? Grid was once again amazed to discover how great Braham’s skills were . Then he quickly looked like he was eating **** . ‘What is the use of theory alone? It can’t be used when it is really needed . ’
“Why are you looking like that again?” It happened the moment when Braham felt a strange displeasure and frowned .
“”I request a conversation with the Overgeared God . ””
“ . . . . . . . !”
“ . . . . . . . !”
The firmly closed gate of the castle opened and Dantalion walked out .
““The **** who despises **** has descended directly to **** . Is it to prepare for a great cause like Hexetia in the past? Seeing as the insane dragon’s hatchling is by your side, do you want to prepare for a battle against the evil dragon? No . You are with one of the seven malignant saints and Sariel . Are you trying to prepare for war against Asgard rather than the evil dragon? Beriache’s child is with you . You might’ve promised to restore his power as a direct descendant seeing the way the arrogant Braham is following you . Perhaps you visited **** to follow Beriache’s trail . What nonsense is this? Their purpose is clear with just the presence of the Demon Slayer . They simply want to destroy **** . ””
The eight faces kept talking before Grid’s party could react .
Then a beautiful black-haired head faced Grid . “”Overgeared God . I don’t know your intentions but no matter what it is, I can help you . Let’s not stay here like this . I hope you will come back to the castle with me and tell me your purpose . ””
Grid’s eyes were shining brilliantly . “Do you want to cooperate with me?”
“”Yes, no matter your purpose, I will be on your side . ””
Grid had powerful messengers that no gods had ever obtained . There were many paths he could walk and this strongly tempted Dantalion . He believed that if he could accompany Grid then he would accumulate profound knowledge through various experiences . For Dantalion, knowledge was power . The encounter with Grid was an opportunity that wouldn’t come twice .
“Then die . ”
“” . . . . . . ?””
Dantalion’s eight faces that were flushed with excitement scattered like petals . Blood shimmered in the old moonlight as black liquid seemed to spray .
