Overgeared Chapter 1417:
Satisfy’s **** was different from the eight hells that people commonly thought of . There was the sky and the ground and day and night . Thanks to their nature, some demonkin formed a civilization . In Satisfy, it was easy to think of **** as a world ruled by demons, not humans . It was just dangerous because there was no concept of morality or laws . All sorts of unethical things occurred throughout **** except for a few safe zones . The slaughter was brutal and matched its name of **** .
“I’m nervous,” Piaro confessed honestly . “Hell . . . The place where the souls of those who build up sin throughout their lives fall . It is said that the souls will suffer terribly to pay the price for their sins, reflect on themselves, and cleanse themselves . There are also some souls that will become evil spirits . It might not be true with His Majesty, but those who visited **** without the blessing of the goddess of light will be possessed by an evil spirit . Can we be active in **** without the blessing of the goddess?”
It was extremely rare for a human to go to **** alive . It was safe to say there were almost none . Of course, Piaro hadn’t been to **** . Therefore, he could only blindly believe in the wrong information .
Mercedes carefully advised him, “Piaro, you have seen and heard for yourself that the gods we believed in aren’t correct . ”
In order to be safe in hell, there must be the blessing of the goddess of light . In other words, the goddess of light was omnipotent everywhere in the world . Of course, the Rebecca Church was the source of these unfounded claims .
“The **** that Piaro knows is the **** described by the Rebecca Church and the Rebecca Church isn’t credible . The actual **** will be different . ”
Mercedes had been a member of the Rebecca Church since the Rebecca Church had been the national religion of both the Saharan Empire and Overgeared Kingdom, but that wasn’t the case anymore . There was Zikfrector, who rebelled against the gods to protect the world, and Sariel, the archangel who was expelled for discussing the sins of the gods . She heard their stories and couldn’t trust Rebecca and the Rebecca Church .
“Um . . . ” Grid closed Leraje’s diary that he had been reading and faced Piaro and Mercedes . “Mercedes is right . It is possible to survive in **** even without the blessing of the goddess . For example, accumulate demonic energy or get the help of the Demon Slayer . . . additionally, I’ve been to **** several times and have never seen an evil spirit . ”
There were 30 minutes left until Yura’s scheduled arrival time . He could afford to hang out and have a conversation, but he had no intention of just talking . Rather than reading the diary, Grid started to control the God Hands directly . Grid dispersed his consciousness to improve the hunting efficiency of the God Hands while talking to Piaro and Mercedes .
The monsters started dying at a noticeably faster rate . The conversation was also progressing . This level of versatility was too easy for today’s Grid . The accumulated talent eclipsed the absence of talent .
“Still, it is hard to see the Rebecca Church’s claim as completely wrong . Hell is as wide as the West Continent and the types of demonkin are more diverse than the species there . Maybe there is a place in **** where the souls of the dead are governed . There could be evil spirits . ”
In fact, some demons collected the souls of the dead as loot . To be exact, they were the souls of the dead after signing a contract with the great demons . Pagma’s soul that had been screaming in Baal’s grasp . . . Grid had witnessed it .
“If we see an evil spirit . . . won’t it be dangerous without the blessing from the goddess?” Mercedes seemed somewhat nervous at Grid’s words . Like Piaro, she was different from usual . It wasn’t bad . Hell was an extremely dangerous place . Grid had been to **** a few times but it was still an unknown place . Every zone had its own environment and characteristics so it was impossible to adapt to or predict it . It was good for these two people to have appropriate tension .
Grid turned to look at his other messengers . Nefelina was haggling with Rabbit to increase the food she would receive in exchange for going to **** and Zikfrector was sleeping in the middle of the path with a quilt . Braham was harassing Sariel, saying he needed to investigate the angel’s ability to neutralize magic .
Did it look like a group of people just about to go to hell? There was no tension at all . . .
“The possibility of danger is very high . It is impossible to fight against evil spirits without divine power . We happen to not have divine power . ”
In the first place, the concept of divine power was vague . No religion could generate divine power apart from the Rebecca Church, Judar Church, and Dominion Church . Typically, most people thought that divine power came from a god’s divinity, but in Satisfy, divine power was no different from something exclusive to Rebecca . Considering the myth that even Judar and Dominion received light from her, divine power was a concept close to Rebecca’s personal power .
‘The reason why she is worried about the Saintess is because she is worried her things will be taken away . ’
“We have to avoid encountering the evil spirits . ”
“Not necessarily . It is because we have Yura . The Demon Slayer in **** is much greater than you think . So there is no need to be too worried . ”
From the position of Leraje who was dreaming of rebelling, the Demon Slayer was very important . It was said that she had helped Yura a lot recently . Grid couldn’t easily guess how much Yura had grown who used the information provided by Leraje as a stepping stone . The last time they met, Grid was much stronger than her, but now the gap would’ve narrowed a lot—at least in **** .
‘She has learned the skill of absorbing demonic energy . . . ’
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting a long time . ” Some time passed . The bargain wasn’t successful, so the angry Nefelina was biting Rabbit’s collar, while Braham was excited by new knowledge and started to pluck at Sariel’s feathers . Just then, Yura finally arrived at the scene .
“It took me too long to open the **** gate due to the demonkin’s checks . ”
“There is no need to apologize . I am the one who should be apologizing . I suddenly scheduled it without notice . ”
Yura was somewhat flustered by the atmosphere of the scene . She thought the atmosphere would be solemn as the messengers of the **** gathered ahead of the **** conquest, only to be flustered because it was more like they were in the middle of a market . She couldn’t take her eyes off Zikfrector lying down on a quilt while Grid asked her, “What do you mean by the demonkin checking the **** gate? Is that possible?”
The **** gate . It was a pathway between **** and the human world . This was one of the Demon Slayer’s unique skills . An ordinary human being had to get the help of the **** gate to go to **** .
“Demons and demonkin who can detect the emergence of the **** gate have appeared . The moment I open the **** gate, they can specify the location and track it . I wouldn’t have been able to escape from **** without Glant’s help . ”
“What . . . ?” This was a very serious problem . It was purely thanks to the **** gate that Yura could freely come and go from **** . This freedom would be suppressed the moment the **** gate was kept in check . “No, this . . . Doesn’t it take just seven seconds, not a few minutes, to activate the **** gate? Yet you are worried about tracking . Does that mean they have the ability to teleport?”
“That’s right . The moment the coordinates are specified, they can teleport anywhere in an instant like Braham or Sticks . ”
“They are using the magic of a great magician . . . ”
There were many types of demons and demonkin . It wasn’t strange at all if some were born with magical abilities .
Grid’s expression darkened sharply . He might’ve scolded the messengers who weren’t nervous, but he actually wasn’t worried about this trip to **** at all . It was because the members were all so impressive . Now he heard Yura’s words and there was suddenly tension .
“The coordinates will be specified the moment I open a gate in the human world . There is a high possibility the moment we cross the **** gate and enter **** . ”
For reference, the **** gate could only be used by two people and the cooldown time was 30 minutes . It meant that it wasn’t possible for the eight people here to enter **** at the same time . There was the concern of being attacked once two people went to **** .
Grid worried about it before making a decision . “I will go first and reduce the number of enemies as much as possible . ”
The messengers weren’t weak . Several of them were stronger than Grid, but their lives were finite . It was natural for Grid to go there first .
Yes, who are you going to take with you?”
“Um . . . ” Grid observed the messengers . Mercedes looked enthusiastic, while Piaro was looking forward to it . Braham scoffed like he wasn’t interested and Sariel grinned . Zikfrector was also getting up and folding the quilt .
“I . . . ” Grid’s finger pointed to Nefelina . She had Rabbit’s hand in her small mouth and was chewing on it . “Ill go with Nefelina . ”
“Iamgoing . ” Nefelina said as she spat out Rabbit’s hand covered with saliva . She was conscious of the honor of a dragon . She was like a kid when alone with Grid, but . . .
“I have to keep an eye on you or you might cause trouble . ”
“Just honestly tell me that you want to rely on the power of a great dragon . ”
“Um . . . ” She was still a hatchling . A hatchling was too great to be scolded . Grid shut his mouth as he called back Noe, Randy, the Overgeared Skeletons, and the God Hands . Of course, the God Hands floated around himself and Nefelina instead of being placed in his inventory . He wouldn’t be afraid of any surprise attacks that come flying when going through the **** gate if he had the God Hands .
“We will go first and create a safe area, so open the **** gate in the same position . ”
“Unfortunately, I can’t open the **** gate at the same position . There is always an error with the dimension movement coordinates . ”
“Does this mean the next gate might open in a completely different location?”
“Yes, but it will still be in the 32nd **** . ”
“This isn’t easy . ”
Yura told Nefelina, “First of all, Miss Nefelina, please drink this tea . It will purify a bit of the demonic energy of **** . ”
“Eek . It is bitter . ”
“You are young and don’t know the taste of tea . . . . ”
“Grid, you should be polite to me . ”
The space was twisted and torn while Grid and Nefelina were bickering . Sinister energy appeared in the air in front of the two people . It was the **** gate . Grid put his foot on the door and spoke to his colleagues, “Be careful . We’ll meet safely later . ”
“I wish you luck . ”
Rabbit and the knights saluted at the same time to send off Grid . Grid and Nefelina disappeared from the scene .
***
Fire soared with an explosion that shook the ground . It was just as Yura warned . A surprise attack flew the moment he crossed the **** gate . Grid and Nefelina’s eyes shook .
“Hahaha! I finally got the Demon Slayer who is like a rat . . . ?” The excited demonkin quickly shut his mouth . He found that the appearance of the humans who appeared was different from the target . “You aren’t the Demon Slayer . Bait?”
What does it mean by sending bait? Does she think we will deplete our strength if she continues sending bait?”
“Humans are weak and have a small amount of magic power . The Demon Slayer is a human, so her common sense is low . ”
“There is fire but no meat . ”
“ . . . . . . ?”
The demonkin who had mastered high level magic and were talking rationally cocked their heads with confusion . They noticed the nonsense mixed in with their conversation .
“Huup!” There was the sound of someone sucking air . The blazing fire was being sucked by something .
“ . . . . . . ?!”
The moment the flames were cleared, the demonkin were shocked . It was because the humans who should’ve become ashes were fine . A child with puffed up cheeks was staring at them .
“Graaaaaa—!”The child made a strange noise and opened her mouth . A huge pillar of fire was shot . The dozens of demonkin gathered together were hit by an even hotter fire . Some demonkin disappeared without a trace .
“Meat . . . my meat is gone . ”
Grid stared at Nefelina who was muttering to herself with a shocked expression .
