Overgeared - Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056: 1056

“This is the last island . ”

He revealed himself as the 10th great demon .

“My name is Leraje . I am one of the 33 rulers who control hell . ”

Leraje covered half of his face with a deep hat . The red lips made a sharp contrast to the pale skin .

“I am a great ruler who combines power and strategy . The proof is that I easily made it to the 66th island .  Huhut . ”

““ . . . ””

It had been a long time since I met with others .  Maybe it had been a few decades .  However, I wasn’t happy .  I was already bored and lazy .

The great demon was constantly talking .  “My specialty is to struggle . I have a habit of winning against anyone I compete with . The evidence is that I easily took care of all the previous legends guarding the other islands . Demon Slayer Alex who made great demons tremble? Even he couldn’t be my opponent .  Huhuhut . ”

““ . . . ””

“Hrmm . . .  It is unreasonable to try and talk to a death knight who doesn’t have an ego . It is no fun . Still, I am looking forward to it . Based on the sword hanging from your waist, you must be Sword Saint Muller . Didn’t you seal several great demons, including Hell Gao? I have always wanted to meet you . I will use this opportunity to prove that I am better than Hell Gao . ”

““I’m not Muller . ””

Who would dare to mistake my identity?

As I opened my mouth, Leraje said, “Hoh, a death knight is talking? Yes, you aren’t Muller? What are you called?”

““Madra . I was king of Lubana . ””

“Madra . . . ? I have heard it a few times . How disappointing . I was hoping to meet Muller on the last island . . . The final battle will be worthless as well . ”

““ . . . ””

My anger rose .  Pagma, you resurrected me because you are afraid of this guy?

““200,000 Army Crushing Sword . ””

“ . . . !”

I couldn’t find any meaning in this second life .  I had no motivation and couldn’t move since I was trapped alone on the island . I stood in place and looked up at the sky, but my skills weren’t rusty .  Fear filled the eyes of the arrogant Leraje .

***

It had happened before Grid learned 200,000 Army Swordsmanship .  The past that he viewed in Madra’s diary stopped here in the middle of the seventh chapter .

However, things were different now .  Grid, who had achieved level 399 and acquired 200,000 Army Swordsmanship, was able to read the back pages .

***

“Cough! Cough! Death . . . I am going to die from a death knight . . . !”

““A person who can’t stop this much is a loser . ””

“You said you were the king of Lubana? You . . . ! You aren’t Muller . How are you capable of this swordsmanship?”

““I am the Undefeated King . I haven’t experienced defeat, be it in life or death . ””

“A bluff!”

Leraje tried to resist but it was useless .

My sword struck his flesh and bones .

‘ . . . ’

***

In the contents of the diary that followed, Grid saw the true power of 200,000 Army Swordsmanship .  In the face of the true 200,000 Army Crushing Sword that couldn’t be compared to the degraded version, Leraje was literally crushed .  He desperately unfolded his magic, but everything was cut equally in front of Madra’s sword .

‘Looking again, the difference is greater than the difference between heaven and earth . ’

It was on a totally different level .  The glimpses that Grid got of Pagma, Braham, and the yangban Garam weren’t comparable to Madra .  Undefeated King Madra was the strongest .  Duguen! Duguen! Duguen! Grid’s heartbeat started to accelerate .  His admiration for Madra spurred his assimilation with Madra .  

I didn't know a single defeat .

I . . .  I am Undefeated King Madra .

[★ Warning ★ You have assimilated with Madra in the diary and shared his memories and feelings . You need to be careful because you are psychologically feeling a great amount of anxiety and pain . ]

[You are in extreme confusion . ]

[The system is checking your brain waves and pulse . If it is determined to be dangerous, Death Knight Madra’s diary will be sealed . ]

[Danger! Danger! Madra’s diary will be sealed!]

“ . . . !”

The seventh chapter ended .  Grid, who had completely assimilated with Madra, opened his eyes .  He was drenched in sweat as he gritted his teeth .  It was to distinguish between virtual and reality .  He was Grid, not Madra .  He tried his best to realize that he was Shin Youngwoo before he was Grid .

Duguen! Duguen! Duguen . . .

His frantic heartbeat started to stabilize .

[You are free from the confusion . ]

[Your vitals have returned to normal . The eighth chapter of Death Knight Madra’s diary is unfolding . ]

[Do you want to read it?]

“Heok, heok . . .  Yes, I'll read it . ”

@%$P)@!#$~$X##!!!!!!!

“ . . . ”

This challenge also failed .  After learning 200,000 Army Swordsmanship, Grid re-read the seventh chapter several times to confirm the back of the diary .  He experienced Madra’s great pain and despair, but he endured it .  Grid wanted to read the eighth chapter .  He wanted to understand Madra and Pagma more, and he wanted to get a glimpse of the 300,000 Army Swordsmanship .

However, the eighth chapter was completely unreadable .  It was in a language that wasn’t human .  Why? At first, he couldn’t understand what was going on .  Then Grid was soon able to guess the reason .

‘It was the chaotic period . ’

Madra defeated all the great demons that invaded the Behen Archipelago and was then alone for hundreds of years .  He would’ve gradually lost the need for language because he had no one to talk to .  The thoughts he wrote in the diary were likely transformed into something that only he could recognize . It was something completely different that couldn’t be defined by the concept of language .  It meant that only Madra himself could read the eighth chapter of the diary .

‘Is this the end of the diary’s role?’

Grid had expected it .  Death Knight Madra whom Grid had met on the Behen Archipelago hadn’t used 300,000 Army Swordsmanship .  The weak body of the undead, that had undergone hundreds of years of storms, couldn’t withstand the destructive power of 300,000 Army Swordsmanship .  Considering the time, it was highly likely that 300,000 Army Swordsmanship wouldn’t be written in the diary .

‘Even if there is 300,000 Army Swordsmanship, will I need to be level 499 to learn it?’

Level 499 . . .  At this point, it would take at least 5–6 years to reach that level .

‘There is no real answer . ’

Grid opened his own status window .  He was level 399 .  It was at 97% experience .  He hadn’t leveled up despite beating Berith .  Of course, there were many high-level NPCs among the raid party members . He had to consider that most of the experience had been distributed to the NPCs .  It was common sense that the greater the level gap was between party members, the more disadvantages the lower leveled members received .  Even so, the opponent had been a great demon .  The amount of experience he dropped would’ve been beyond imagination . Frankly, this was too much .

‘I never dreamed that I couldn’t go up by even one level . ’

From level 399 onward, the amount of experience required to level up seemed to double .

‘Isn’t this a point where I can’t level up through hunting?’

Grid suddenly realized this and stopped making the underwear that he was doing out of habit .  His steady growth in the Tailoring Technique meant he was able to produce women’s underwear as well as men’s underwear .  It was a sight where those who didn’t know about it would mistake him for an underwear thief or pervert, but it was an ordinary and familiar sight to the Overgeared members .  

‘It’s too big . ’

‘It is Jishuka’s underwear . ’

‘How do you know the size?’

‘Well, that . . . we lived together . ’

‘I envy Jishuka . ’

‘ . . . ?’

In the midst of the Overgeared members’ murmurs, Grid brought up his list of ongoing quests .

[Tailoring Technique Training]

[Class Quest

The possibilities for your development have become greater after learning the Tailoring Technique .  

If you get to the point where you can combine blacksmithing and tailoring, your foundation as a blacksmith will expand exponentially .

However, it is still difficult to utilize the Tailoring technique .

The gap between the intermediate Tailoring skill and legendary blacksmith skill is too large .

The intermediate Tailoring technique is likely to degrade the quality of the legendary blacksmith’s work .

Raise the level of your Tailoring skill to the point where it can be combined with blacksmithing .

Quest Clear Conditions: Master the Advanced Tailoring Technique .

Quest Clear Reward: Level +6 The opening of craftsman level Tailoring Technique . ]

This was the reason why Grid made underwear whenever he had time .  It was an inevitable class quest, and it also gave a huge reward .  When he first received the quest, Grid was merely eager to see the craftsmanship .  Now his thoughts had changed .

‘I have to stop making men’s underwear . ’

He no longer coveted the craftsman level Tailoring Technique .  If he received the craftsman level skill, he planned to apply it to blacksmithing and didn’t want to make underwear .  Rather than the skill, Grid focused on the reward of six levels .

‘This is a real jackpot . ’

Now it was hard to gain a level when fighting against a great demon .  The quest gave six levels as a reward, so the value was astronomical .  Grid made a judgment, ‘Don’t try to clear it too quickly . ’

The higher his level, the higher the value would be .  It wasn’t good to delay it too much, but he wasn’t in a hurry for the reward .  Grid realized that he needed to be more relaxed .

‘The thing I need to focus on right now . . . ’ 

It was to gain the remaining 3% experience and reach level 400 .  The right thing to do would be to reach the fourth stats awakening and then make items using Berith’s by-products .

“Okay .  Ah, before that . . . ” Grid made a plan and shouted, “Sticks!”

Was this the feeling when Jin X Gu called Dorae X Mon? Grid was excited every time he called Stick’s name . He had the confidence that Sticks would surely live up to his expectations .

“Ha . . .  Why are you calling during class?”

Sticks was the principal and teacher at the Overgeared Academy .  A few days ago, he gave Grid the ‘long-distance communication earphones’ which had been developed at Reidan’s alchemy facility, and this allowed him to hear Grid’s voice within the range of a certain distance .  Grid got to the point straight away, “Take me to Reidan . ”

“No, think about it . You can use the city’s warp facility . . . ”

“It will waste Reinhardt’s magic power . That is money . ”

“Don’t I charge Reinhardt’s magic power core anyway?”

“I-Is that so? As expected, isn’t Sticks really great?”

“Haha . . .  Mass Teleport . ”

Sticks was a busy person . It was his job to educate the children of the Overgeared Kingdom .  He didn’t want to waste time, so he immediately used magic and sent Grid to Reidan .  It was a waste of magic that ordinary players would never experience in their lives .

“W-We greet Your Majesty!!”

In the desert city of Reidan, the knights ran over after detecting the flow of magic power and recognized Grid .  Chris, who was in the castle, immediately frowned upon arriving at the scene .  “You have to send a whisper in advance if you aren’t going to use the warp facility . I was surprised at the thought of the enemy intruding . ”

“Sorry, sorry . I’ll definitely do it next time,” Grid apologized with a smile before stepping forward .  He moved in the direction of the alchemy facility .

Chris’ eyes shone as he followed Grid . “Has Berith’s Power finally been recharged?”

“Yes,” Grid answered with a confident smile on his face .

“Let’s see the real power of alchemy . ”
