Overgeared Chapter 260:
Chapter 260
“This is the place . ”
“What?”
Grid didn’t know exactly what type of treatment Piaro was receiving . He vaguely thought that Piaro would be well respected and comfortable because he was so talented . But it turned out he was mistaken .
‘I never thought he would live in a place like this . ’
[Farmer’s House]
A large-scale accommodation where widowers or single farmers lived together .
A great swordsman was staying in a shabby place like this? Grid was baffled .
“Isn’t Reidan wide? Why is it so hard to give him a house?”
A great swordsman who was soon to become a sword saint . Wasn’t he a good mentor to everyone? Lauel explained to Grid, who was looking at them with rebuke in his eyes . “Piaro himself didn’t want to stay anywhere else . He said that he doesn’t deserve to live a comfortable life . ”
Grid’s expression became dark .
‘It’s because of guilt . ’
He felt guilty for the family members and colleagues who died because he was falsely accused . Maybe Piaro hadn’t slept well for a single day in the last few years .
‘On the surface, he acts brightly . ’
Recently, Grid thought Piaro had overcome most of the wounds in his heart, but that was a misunderstanding .
“Duke Grid came…”
“That’s okay . ” Grid restrained Lauel from shouting loudly and asked Asmophel . “Are you ready?”
Asmophel, who had been silent since arriving in Reidan, opened his mouth for the first time . “I have been prepared to die for a long time . ”
“Don’t talk about dying so easily . ”
The reward of the hidden quest ‘Hidden Story’ was that Asmophel’s affinity would rise to the maximum along with Piaro . Grid hoped that the named NPC, Asmophel, wouldn’t die . But the problem was that his survival depended on Piaro, not Grid .
‘I am shaking . ’
Grid took a deep breath and entered the house . Among the farmers who were exhausted by deep labor, the mediating Piaro was sitting alone . The moment that Piaro’s eyes opened and made contact with him, Grid instinctively realized .
‘He has become stronger . ’
Piaro was originally strong . However, Grid fought against Piaro and was confident of winning . Their skill with the sword might be different, but Grid believed he could defeat Piaro if he summoned Noe and Randy .
But he was wrong . Grid’s high insight warned that Piaro was a monster that couldn’t be predicted . He was completely different from five years ago .
‘It’s more than Hell Gao’s presence…’
Surely he didn’t achieve the status of sword saint while Grid was gone?
Duguen! Duguen! Duguen!
Grid’s heart started to thump wildly . He imagined Piaro becoming a sword saint and his excitement heightened .
“You have become stronger, Duke Grid . ”
Piaro stood up and faced Grid . His eyes gazed deeply into Grid .
‘I want to fight . ’
Grid wanted to test his skills against the current Piaro . Grid was filled with an extreme fighting spirit . But now wasn’t the time . The quest came first .
“Did you kill Asmophel?”
Piaro’s eyes filled with deep emotions . It was a glimpse of his hatred towards Asmophel .
Grid replied .
“I didn’t kill him . ”
“You didn’t?” He wasn’t that weak, was he? “What does this mean?”
Piaro made a confused expression and Grid pointed to the doorway .
“I brought him to see you . ”
“What?”
The culprit of everything! If that guy came here, Piaro would tear off his limbs and grind up his bones! Piaro rushed out of the room right away . His face looked like a scary demon as he saw his enemy . Damian and all of the Overgeared members, except for Grid, were overpowered by his pressure .
“Asmophel!”
“…Piaro . ”
A street where darkness descended . The two friends who hadn’t reunited in three years, the distance between them was quickly narrowed down .
Kwack!
Piaro’s hand grabbed Asmophel’s neck . Asmophel’s pale face twisted . But it wasn’t due to physical pain . It was because all his emotions burst out when he saw Piaro and he wanted to cry . Piaro, who had pulled out his sword, paused when he saw Asmophel’s face .
“You . . ! Why is a shameful person like you shedding tears?”
“I’m…sorry…”
Despite his constricted neck, Asmophel succeeded in spitting out the words that he had cried many times over the years . At that moment, Piaro’s heart thumped . He sensed something . . Maybe the atrocities committed by Asmophel were against his will .
However, that wasn’t an important issue right now . No matter the hidden story, Asmophel’s sin couldn’t be rationalized .
“You!”
Piaro shook off his curiosity and tightened his grip around Asmophel’s neck . Asmophel didn’t resist at all . He just repeated his apologies while being suffocated . He had long been determined to atone with his death .
‘Kill me . Brutally tear me apart, burn my body and drop my filthy soul into **** . It doesn’t matter as long as your grudge is resolved . ’
Piaro read Asmophel’s heart through his eyes . He had been friends with Asmophel for 25 years . This meant that Piaro could read his mind through his eyes . That’s why the sense of betrayal was more prevalent .
“This awful bastard!”
The sword flew towards Asmophel’s neck . Grid saw this and turned his head away .
‘I failed to get Asmophel . ’
Asmophel would die like this . Unfortunately, it wasn’t a situation he could intervene in . Grid judged this and was about to retreat .
“Shit!” Piaro cursed . Grid turned his head again to see that the sword was stopped underneath Asmophel’s jaws . “Dammit!”
Piaro threw Asmophel away . Then he sat down . His noble friend, Asmophel . A great man and friend until the day of betrayal . Piaro was the person who knew him better than anyone .
“Let me hear your story . ”
He wasn’t about to forgive Asmophel . He had just been curious since a long time ago . Why their relationship ended in such a catastrophic manner, Piaro wanted to know it .
“…”
Asmophel didn’t say anything . He knew there was no excuse for what he did . Piaro roughly grabbed his collar . “Say something!”
He had lost everything . Ironically, the only friend left was this enemy . He was sorry to his dead family and colleagues, but he wanted to hear the story . Asmophel read Piaro’s feelings and painfully managed to open his mouth . He spoke the truth that he had buried in his heart for as long as he could .
“…”
Piaro’s murderous expression became distressed as he heard the story . The biggest victim of this story was Asmophel . Asmophel didn’t try to justify himself . He described himself as weak and the worst trash . But it wasn’t a position accepted by the listeners at all .
“…”
Asmophel tried to speak as calmly as possible . He constantly listed why he should die . He kept emphasizing his sins . However, Piaro’s hatred towards Asmophel lessened .
“Dammit!”
He slammed his fist into the ground after losing the target of his anger . Tears flowed down from Piaro’s eyes . He was confused after knowing the whole truth . Piaro couldn’t kill Asmophel . But it was right to kill Asmophel in order to appease the souls of Piaro’s family and colleagues .
As he was wondering what to do, Grid approached him . “I know that it is hard to forgive . However, now that you have learned the truth, isn’t it foolish to kill him?”
“…”
“Isn’t there a separate target for revenge?”
Empress Marie . The woman who took away the happiness of countless people due to her greed .
“Kill her . ”
Grid said bluntly . Lauel had a headache .
‘Couldn’t you phrase it in a nicer way?’
‘Become my person . Increase my strength with your abilities and become a weapon against the empress . I will be your sword and strike down your true enemy’ etc etc .
Weren’t they great lines? As Lauel was filled with regret, Piaro was forgiving Asmophel .
“I can no longer resent you after finding out that you were used in Marie’s wicked schemes . ”
Asmophel wept . He could only repeat his apologies . It was the end Grid wanted . He smiled as he watched them .

[The affinity with the two people has risen to the maximum . ]

The reward of the hidden quest was more than Grid imagined .
‘Amazing . ’
It was a big hit . This was an exorbitant level that couldn’t be easily expressed . Grid felt like he owned the world . He clenched his fists tightly as he felt a thrill .
‘Then…’
Now he had a question .
‘What is the 100% increase in the chance of a good harvest?’
What relationship did that have with a sword saint? Grid was puzzled until he suddenly recalled the notification window that appeared when he was in Titan .
[A legendary farmer has been born!]
‘Perhaps…’ No . It couldn’t be . ‘It can’t be . ’
He tried to shake off his sinister imagination .
“This is the place . ”

Grid didn’t know exactly what type of treatment Piaro was receiving . He vaguely thought that Piaro would be well respected and comfortable because he was so talented . But it turned out he was mistaken .
