Overgeared

on the lich and death knights at will.
If Grid helped, then they could dominate Agnus skillfully.
However, if Agnus made up his mind, then Euphemina would never be able to clear this quest in her lifetime.

This was why Euphemina refused several times despite Grid’s offer to help.
She didn’t want to drag Grid into something that wasn’t feasible and would trouble him.
Therefore, she tried to solve it by herself.
Along the way, she learned about Agnus’ past and felt compassion.
Then things only became more twisted…

‘…The result turned out well.’

A sad smile spread across Euphemina’s face as she stared at the sparkling, clear blue soul in front of her.
In the end, she couldn’t forget Agnus’ last appearance as he chose to be alone.
He was a poor man to the end, and he was also a pure man.
He handed over Mumud’s soul with the idea that he could break the bond as long as he repaid the grace.

Perhaps the reason why he showed an unstable appearance, and his personality and attitude changed every day he met her, wasn’t because he was crazy.
It was actually because he possessed an innocence that was more easily affected by the surrounding environment.

‘…No, no.’

She shouldn’t think too deeply about Agnus.
She shouldn’t try to think positively.
Agnus was the enemy of the Overgeared Kingdom.
It was the result of Agnus’ own choice.
Euphemina was a member of the Overgeared Kingdom and was obligated to deal with Agnus, no matter her feelings about him.
Euphemina felt no hesitation about her obligations.

Dozens of minutes ago in the Chaos Mountains, she had been ready to deal with Agnus as she walked toward him.
If it wasn’t for her, Agnus wouldn’t have been easily defeated no matter the exquisite cooperation between Vantner and Pon.
No matter what, Euphemina was a member of the Overgeared Guild.
She had no intention of disappointing Grid who trusted her and waited for her.

‘In the future, I just have to repay Grid’s grace.’

Grid absolutely trusted Euphemina.
He always believed that her skills were the best.
Grid’s belief placed a great burden on Euphemina.
There was a limit to the number of skills that could be copied per day and the limitations of the Duplicator against classes with a higher rating were clear.

It was true that the Mumud-style magic she gained later allowed her to exert a greater combat power, but it was difficult to play an active part against those with the highest level skills.
Euphemina was stagnant for a long time compared to her reputation, but things would change in the future.

“You’ve suffered a lot, Mumud.”

At Frontier, where a sharp blizzard was blowing…

Euphemina stood on the high walls and sent Mumud’s spirit to the gray sky.
“I hope you return to Heaven and rest with your wife.”

Mumud had died at a young age without fulfilling his ambitions, but his end was happy.
He spent the last years of his life with his beloved woman in Siren.
Euphemina smiled warmly only for her eyes to widen.
It was because Mumud’s soul refused to ascend.
He was no longer owned by anyone, but he stayed still in the sky by his own will.

It took only a short time for Euphemina to notice why.
“Braham!”

Mumud’s teacher—a villain who was jealous of his student’s talent and intercepted his achievements.
In fact, he was the one who made Mumud a lich.
It was a truth that was revealed when the ‘Braham and Mumud’ quest occurred.

His body was taken away by Baal’s Contractor and the soul left in the body was attached to him, becoming a doll of slaughter different from his will—the information that Euphemina got from the Mumud liberation quest was only the record that the world knew and it was old information that was far from the truth.

That’s right—Agnus never made Lich Mumud.
He just seized Lich Mumud who existed from the beginning to be used as a killing weapon.

‘Why is Braham here?’

Euphemina didn’t want Braham and Mumud to meet.
It was insane to create a situation where the two people were reunited when it was obvious that Mumud’s hatred for Braham was larger than a mountain.
Therefore, she deliberately tried to liberate Mumud’s soul before returning to the capital.

Yet Braham appeared at this time.
Braham didn’t give her a single glance.
He passed by her while only staring at Mumud’s soul.
The moment Braham passed her—

“……!” Euphemina’s eyes widened.

It was a very small voice, but Braham clearly said, ‘Thank you.’

[Bra…ham…]

Mumud was resurrected as a lich and repeatedly killed people.
The reason he had been suffering for hundreds of years while maintaining his intact mind was because he had a mental power that transcended the scope of a genius.
If he was an ordinary existence, then he would’ve lost himself by going crazy.

Braham floated into the sky.
His eyes were cloudy as he floated in the sky of Frontier and stood facing Mumud, who exuded hatred and killing intent after recognizing Braham instantly.

“Disciple.”

[Braham!]

“I’m sorry.”

[……!]

“I…
I’ve always regretted taking away your reputation.
To reverse that regret, I resurrected you as a lich.
I was going to place you by my side and increase your reputation.”

[……]

“…Now I know it was just my wicked heart.” Thanks to Grid, he understood human beings and their minds.
He realized his faults and felt greater regret.
“I can’t ask you to forgive me.
Just…
however, if I find you once you are born again one day, I will live for you.”

[……]

Mumud’s soul, that was just shining quietly, started to shake like a flame.
Hatred, anger, emptiness, and sadness seemed to intersect.
The soul was silent for a time before scattering and disappearing.
Then Euphemina inherited Mumud’s knowledge in accordance with the laws of the quest.

I will probably also change Pagma’s Descendant to successor now that I’ve found out about the mass search and replace function
