Overgeared

“T-That…
I was too short-sighted…”

Director Yoon Sangmin backed down.
He blushed when he realized he spoke unreasonable nonsense because he was too agitated.
Chairman Lim Cheolho and the executives shook their heads and once again turned their gazes back to the screen.
The explosions of various forms and colors were still ongoing.

This was the result of Grid and his messengers’ destructive march.
All the hells in the 20s, except for the Dog’s Mouth, were captured by the Overgeared Guild in just one week.

“As expected…”

Lim Cheolho smiled happily.
He had watched Grid for a long time and trusted Grid, but he was worried at this time.
He fully agreed with Director Yoon Sangmin’s concerns.
Still, he knew that the lifespan of Satisfy would drop dramatically the moment the company intervened.

Even if Grid became a terrible tyrant drunk on this new power, the best thing the company could do was watch.
He believed there was nothing wrong even if Grid became a tyrant.
It was because Morpheus would respond to the emergence of a new evil.
Someone else would take over Grid’s role.

***

It happened when the S.A Group was flipped over because of the emergence of one skill.

‘It is cool.’

Grid had a free and easy feeling as he appreciated it.
Omnipotent? He didn’t feel this at all.
The experience of destroying a monster with one or two blows wasn’t unique to Grid.
It happened more than once or twice.
It might be different if the destructive power of 100,000 Army Swordsmanship was proportional to the amount of damage inflicted, not the physical attack power.
However, it didn’t have the effect of Falling Moon Sword so Grid didn’t feel dramatically stronger.

He definitely thought it was strong when he saw it causing great damage to the great demons but…
He was already too strong to be intoxicated with this much power.

[You have entered the 20th Hell.]

“Um…”

Grid was tense once they reached their final destination.
There was a large river reminiscent of the Styx and lightning flashed in the dark sky.
The screams of souls were mixed in with the sharp wind.
The 20th Hell presented the scenery of hell that most people commonly thought of.
There was also a cave that rose in the center with five tributaries swirling around it.
It was larger than a normal castle and resembled the skull of a dog with its mouth open.

“Is that the castle?” It was a question that naturally emerged because the cave was very difficult to access.
It was like a fortress.

Yura nodded in response.
“Probably.
I heard that the 20th Hell is called Dog’s Mouth.
Now I know the reason.”

The red-skinned demon Glant.
He didn’t become a great demon but he was an excellent adviser.
Grid recalled the demon who put on an apron to clean the Indestructible Castle and asked his messengers, “How about the penalties? Did it become worse?”

“It feels like my strength and stamina have fallen below half.
My movements have become very dull and my thinking isn’t smooth either,” Piaro replied honestly.

The other messengers didn’t raise any objections so the situation was almost the same.

‘A penalty of more than 50%…’

This was despite using all the means and methods to reduce penalties…
He once again realized how excellent the title ‘Recognition of the 9th Great Demon’ that he obtained from Hell Gao was.

‘Once we finish this expedition and go back, I will have to instruct the messengers to raid Hell Gao.’

The title ‘Recognition of the 9th Great Demon’ activated the hell reputation system and it was speculated to be obtained by doing the Hell Gao raid twice after killing a number of great demons.

‘Mercedes will get it in the next raid but it will take a long time for the other messengers to get it…
Until then, I will be stuck in the smithy for a while.’

The byproducts obtained by killing the great demons were great.
In particular, there were many gems so it seemed that most of his accessories could be replaced with new ones although they wouldn’t be as good as the Ring of Absurdity.

‘It isn’t possible with Elizabeth’s current skills, even if she has the help of Braham and alchemy.’

He didn’t mean to disregard Elizabeth’s skills but the talent of great magician Pauld was that excellent.
Braham had given up several times when it came to the production of artifacts.

In the forefront, Grid started moving.
The messengers might’ve received more penalties after entering the 20th Hell but there was no tension.
They considered that the power of the 21st great demon was similar to that of Dantalion and they determined that the 20th great demon would be similar as well.
They didn’t want to stay in one place for too long.
The moment their location was discovered, Barbatos was likely to track them down.

‘It is a strangely peaceful place.’

Not a single demonic creature appeared as they reached the river surrounding the fortress.
Although it was hard to describe it as quiet when the screams of the souls were constantly heard…

“Yura.” Grid extended his hand to Yura.
She understood what it meant and blushed slightly as she grabbed Grid’s hand.
Grid held Yura in his arms.
Yura was wearing armor but her physique was so good that she easily fit in Grid’s arms.

“Let’s go.” Grid gave a signal and opened his dragon wings.
Braham, Nefelina and Zikfrector floated using magic while Mercedes and Sariel spread out their wings.
Piaro planted and sprouted beans in the ground and he also rose up.
It wasn’t as good as Braham who floated using gravity magic.
The party started to cross the river.

Grrr…

The growl of a beast echoed and the hot heat made their skin warm.
The source of the heat was inside the cave called the Dog’s Mouth.
The whole group scattered reflexively.

Flames shot out from the cave.
The flames were reminiscent of a dragon’s Breath and the light of the flames was like when the Fire Dragon Sword used 100,000 Army Swordsmanship.
The speed was so fast that it was hard for the messengers to avoid it with their reduced stats.

Grid relied on his transcendent ability and used 200,000 Army Crushing Sword to get rid of the flames.
The sword energy flew to the location where the flames emerged and caused an explosion.
A cloud of dust rose and a giant dog came out of it.
It was a three-headed cerberus, but it was 100 times larger than any cerberus seen so far.
The even more eye-catching thing was the great demon on its back.
He wore black armor and his red eyes looked at Grid’s party.

“You are all trivial trash apart from one person.”

Could it be due to the penalties? The assessment of the messengers was very low.

“Hoh…
It is the most ridiculous barking I’ve ever heard in my life.” Braham frowned at the words and laughed in an absurd manner.
He immediately cast magic but the oppression of hell slowed the flow of mana.
The flames that the cerberus fired reached him before his magic was cast.
The flames came simultaneously from three heads.
The power and range was so outstanding that it couldn’t be compared with the initial flames.

‘This rotten thing.’

It seemed hard to protect all the messengers.
He could only pray that they endured it well.
It happened the moment when Grid hugged Yura tighter and tried to deflect some of the flames using Revolve.

“It is still too early for you.” A middle-aged man wearing a fedora appeared with his back to the approaching flames and flicked his fingers.
Grid saw that the name above his head was ‘Marbas’ before his vision darkened.

[The person of power in hell has expelled you from hell.]

“……”

Grid’s party was returned to the human world.
