Overgeared Chapter 267:
Chapter 267
“Beautiful and benevolent Goddess Rebecca, give your light to this weak and foolish servant who can’t move without it . I will use your light to save the weak and punish the wicked . ”
The first prayer room . Pascal was praying in a place that originally only the pope could use . It was to shake off his anger about Grid and regain his senses .
“…May the whole world be bathed in the warm light . ”
After a long time, his prayers finished . Pascal made a refreshed expression and got up from his seat . His anger was cleansed and he was now calm .
‘It isn’t simply riches or power that the current Grid is coveting now . ’
If it was, Grid wouldn’t have been able to shake off his temptation .
‘It seems like there is a special link between him and Damian . ’ This was an unexpected variable . ‘But eternal friendship doesn’t exist . Even blood and flesh will kill each other in front of greed . ’
The only concept that didn’t change in this world was faith .
Ssik .
Pascal commanded with a smile, “Open the warehouse . ”
“Yes!”
Pascal’s loyal followers that he brought from the Judar Church moved immediately .
Creak .
The secret warehouse door behind the statue opened and glittering gold poured out . There were treasures and gold piled up in the warehouse . Pascal used the secret warehouse that Drevigo had made during his days as the pope .
‘Grid, how much will make you satisfied?’
Pascal’s men started to gather up the gold coins . These gold coins would be used to obtain Grid .
‘I will offer more if it’s still lacking . If that is not enough, I will give even more . In the end, you will be caught by my hands . ’
Kamiyan watched Pascal and asked . “That person called Grid, isn’t it better to just kill him?”
“He is the only one who can unseal the three divine artifacts of our church . He can’t die . ”
“What if you can’t obtain him?”
“Haha, that won’t happen . He’s very greedy . He will surely accept my heart . ”
“…”
Pascal was confident, but Kamiyan was unsure .
‘He’s a wild beast . He can never be tamed . ’
Kamiyan had noticed it when he aimed his sword at Grid’s wrist . Grid didn’t blink once . He was prepared to give his hand to strike Kamiyan’s neck . Honestly, it gave Kamiyan goose bumps .
‘It isn’t a skill that develops after fighting once or twice . His momentum was overwhelming . Perhaps I would’ve had to fight properly . His power might be praised by the church, but it will be painful in many ways if he becomes an enemy . ’
The emperor had commanded Kamiyan . Pascal must become pope . Kamiyan faithfully carried out the emperor’s commands, so he couldn’t neglect any dangers .
“Come out . ”
Kamiyan moved to avoid Pascal’s eyes and summoned an assassin from the emperor . An assassin of the emperor, the assassin called ‘Crow . ’ There was a flashing light in the darkness and the shadow asked Kamiyan .
“You saw that guy called Grid, right? Can you assassinate him?”
“Is that a question that needs to be asked? I can even kill a mouse . ”
It wasn’t a lie . Crow had the ability to assassinate enemy knights . One day, the strongest assassins Doran and Kasim disappeared, so Crow was now the strongest assassin in existence .
“Good answer . Kill Grid as soon as possible . ”
“Look forward to tomorrow morning . He will be hung on Goddess Rebecca’s statue . ”
Crow immediately disappeared .
***
Grid frowned as he was guided into Isabel’s room .
“What is this?”
It was a small room where the only furniture was a shabby bed . A chill that would make the bones ache dominated the inside of the room .
“There isn’t even a fireplace? It will be freezing in the middle of winter . ”
He touched the grey wall and stone powder fell down .
“Hey, you will catch pneumonia . ”
Grid shook off the dust and turned to Isabel .
“It’s still like this?”
“…”
Rebecca’s Daughters had also suffered under Drevigo . Despite being the strong force, they didn’t rebel against the leaders of the church and endured this unfair treatment .
It was frustrating when he thought about it, but what could he do? The church raised Rebecca’s Daughters as a weapon and they were taught only obedience . This deep brainwashing was like a shackle .
It was the church’s fault, not theirs . On the surface, the church expressed peace and charity, but there was no charity . From what Grid could see, the Rebecca Church was no different from the Yatan Church .
‘Bad people . ’
Grid’s expression distorted as he thought about how Pascal and the elders treated Damian and Isabel .
The words that the assassin Shay had spoken popped up .
‘The Yatan Church is the one that stands for pure evil . They believe that evil is the right way . But the people from the Rebecca Church commit atrocities, even though they realize they have to do good deeds . The front and back are different, so they are far sneakier and more dangerous than the Yatan Church . ’
This wasn’t the case with the Rebecca Church in the past . But Drevigo ruined everything .
‘He caused the rot . ’
The current leaders of the Rebecca Church were those affected by Drevigo . Most of them had already tasted the sweet fruit he offered them and realized they felt joy in harassing others .
Could they let go of this pleasure?
No . The evidence was that they were following Pascal without trying to overcome his temptations . Pruning was required .
‘Damian should be pope . ’
He might be an otaku, but Damian was a pure person . The Rebecca Church would change if he became the pope .
‘First of all, Pascal can’t become pope . ’
Pascal was from the empire . He was the son of the powerful Earl Chirita of the empire . If Pascal became the pope, the empire would be able to utilize the Rebecca Church freely . Lauel was convinced that the empire would become much stronger than it was now . Grid agreed .
‘Someday I will become hostile to the empire when I become king, so they shouldn’t become stronger than they are now . ’
Grid silently thought for a moment before opening his mouth .
“Damian, you should start your campaign right now . Make sure you thoroughly advertise that I am your guardian . Huroi will help you . ”
“Yes!”
The first ranked orator, Huroi . His words had the power to capture people’s ears and hearts . He would surely be a great strength to Damian .
“In the meantime, I will seal Lifael’s Spear . ”
Grid sat on Isabel’s bed . Then he observed Lifael’s Spear in her hand .
“Legendary Blacksmith’s Appraisal . ”

It is one of the three divine artifacts of the Rebecca Church .
It contains a tremendous divine power that human beings can’t afford to handle, placing a heavy burden on the user’s mind and body .
Since Rebecca’s Daughters became short-lived after being unable to cope with the power of this weapon, 5th Pope Franz asked Pagma to seal its power .
However, Pagma’s Descendant appeared in the days of 13th Pope Drevigo and released the seal on the weapon .
Conditions of Use: Rebecca’s Daughter .
Weight: 400
[You have already uncovered the hidden feature of the item . ]
‘In order to reseal this…’
He needed to understand the structure of the item . Then he could figure out how to make it . In order to do so, the process of disassembly and assembly, as well as observation, were essential .
After becoming Pagma’s Descendant, Grid had often disassembled and assembled items . He was confident that he could quickly grasp the structure of Lifael’s Spear . That’s why he thought this task would be easy .
‘But the reality is different . ’
Things became difficult . Isabel was the problem . Her health was far more serious than expected . If she let go of Lifael’s Spear, she would die immediately . It meant that he couldn’t disassemble Lifael’s Spear .
‘I have to do it with observation . ’
He couldn’t guarantee how long it would take . But one thing was clear .
“Isabel, I will be sure to save you . ”
Isabel was a precious person . She was a person he shared memories with and was loved by somebody . Damian thought of her the same way Grid thought of Irene .
‘I won’t allow you to die . ’
Grid started to observe Lifael’s Spear . He carefully looked at the features several times . Was it possible to raise the understanding of an item to 100% just by looking at it? It was impossible at this time . It was out of reach with Grid’s current abilities . But Grid believed in his imperfection .
‘I have abilities that haven’t blossomed yet . ’
Originally, if he completed the class quests, then he would gain abilities . These abilities were drawn out of him .
‘I can do it . ’
Grid’s class quest couldn’t proceed at the moment . It had already been more than a year since he received it .
‘The developers aren’t brainless or manipulative . ’
It was clear that they would’ve prepared some way to awaken his power in the case of an incomplete class quest .
The answer was likely to be hidden in Lifael’s Spear . What was the reason for Grid unsealing Lifael’s Spear? The system . In the past, the system arrow led Grid to unseal Lifael’s Spear . That lead to this present situation . It was a clear arrangement .
‘An arrangement that will allow my skills to blossom . ’
Grid’s eyes sharpened as he observed Lifael’s Spear . His concentration started to rise to the extreme . The willpower and spirit he trained over many experiences was in effect .
‘Grid…’
Isabel’s mind calmed as she sat opposite Grid . Somehow, she seemed to hear the voice of Goddess Rebecca .
‘Believe in him . ’
***
A serene dawn .
Crow appeared in the shadows of the window and looked at Grid .
‘It’s already been 8 hours . ’
Grid was sitting in a small room . He had been examining Lifael’s Spear for 8 hours already . His mind was solely focused on Lifael’s Spear . It meant he was full of holes .
‘Rebecca’s Daughter has fallen asleep . This will be an easier assassination than I expected . ’
Crow landed underneath a tree . Then he entered the building that contained Grid . He didn’t make the slightest noise during all of this .
“…”
Crow moved stealthily down the hall . Even the sensitive rats didn’t detect his presence . But something was looking at him from the shadows .
“Beautiful and benevolent Goddess Rebecca, give your light to this weak and foolish servant who can’t move without it . I will use your light to save the weak and punish the wicked . ”
