Overgeared - Chapter 1141

Chapter 1141: 1141

He had a long dream .  As always, it was a nightmare .  He wanted to wake up, but he couldn’t wake up .  The sleep of consciousness didn’t permit free will .  The Curse of Idleness imprinted on his soul had a terrible effect .

“ . . . . . . ”

Fenrir cursed Shizo Beriache, who had been driven out of hell .  He hated his fate .  Although he didn’t show it in front of other family members, he resented his mother .  Why did she give birth to him for him to suffer . . . ? He hated her helplessness and irresponsibility . . .

“ . . . . . . ”

His consciousness pulled out of the nightmare .  His eyelids—crushed by an immeasurable weight—opened, and the contours of darkness entered his field of view .  Cold swirled inside the coffin .  Fenrir felt a sense of alienation as he opened his eyes in a place where light couldn’t enter .  He felt like he had an exceptionally long and terrible nightmare today .

Somehow, there was a bit of anxiety .  He must be mistaken .

Fenrir’s expression stiffened as he sat up from the coffin .  Standing before him was a person with a slender body covered in blood .  Beneath her feet, the wolf that was Fenrir’s alter ego was dying with its tongue sticking out .

“You . . . Human . What did you do?”

A mother, who passed on a curse and revenge to her children, and siblings who blindly loved such a mother… 

Fenrir was furious at the death of a beast that had given him affection and loved only him, unlike those pathetic figures .  He was angry .  As the chill rose, the human woman’s body trembled .  Her arms had been bitten by the beast, and there was a large hole in her chest . Unfortunately, her eyes were still alive .

“It is as you can see . I hunted a dog that tried to protect its sleeping master . ”

The head of the beast that was panting painfully was then cut off with an axe .  Before it died, the beast’s eyes glistened fondly as it stared at Fenrir .  It loved its owner instead of blaming him, who had been sleeping even at the moment of its death .

Fenrir gritted his teeth .  His pointed fangs broke after being rubbed against his lower teeth, and he chewed and swallowed them .  “There is no need for dirty blood . I’ll chew your flesh and bones . ”

***

The wolf, who had split Pastel Crayon in half upon its arrival, had been very strong and ferocious .  However, it had shown the habit of guarding Fenrir’s coffin whenever Asuka’s party approached it . It had been obsessed with protecting the coffin, even if a sword stabbed its back . This was an obvious weakness .  Thanks to this, Asuka’s party managed to find a way to attack .  The wolf’s loyalty was a great tool of success for Asuka’s party .

Of course, they hadn’t been able to hunt the wolf with luck alone .  Asuka’s party made great sacrifices .  From the beginning, the party aimed at challenging the dungeon with an exit for ‘achievements’, and they made generous investments .

First, they risked their lives .  Second, they took the Sweet Candy that could only be bought five times from the Reputation Store .  Third, they generously used the consumables they had obtained from various hidden quests .  The dozens of players squeezed out all their capabilities .

The wolf, that had been bound to the coffin, was then increasingly driven to the defensive .  The weapons of the rankers, reinforced with all types of potions and skills, pierced the wolf’s skin . Berserker Asuka armed herself with various weapons and split apart the wolf’s muscles and bones .  After hours of a long struggle . . .

“Pant . . . Pant . . . ” Asuka survived alone and succeeded in killing the wolf at her feet .

Grrrung .  Grrr .  The strongest beast, who had ripped apart 35 high rankers and swallowed them while still guarding the coffin, cried out in the midst of dying .  Its eyes were only directed toward the coffin where Fenrir was sleeping .  It was a dog that was concerned about its master even when its life was running out .

“ . . . . . . ”

Asuka was a berserker .  Every time she fought, she entered a frenzy . As madness accumulated, she could only drool or blink, but she wasn’t really crazy .  She had enough communicative ability to read and sympathize with the emotions of the silent beast .

“Tsk . . . ” Asuka clicked her tongue bitterly as she raised her axe high .  It was an axe infused with the blessing of Hunting God Debirion and dealt massive additional damage to beasts and beast-type monsters .  Then Fenrir woke up .  The thick and heavy coffin was torn and shot up toward the ceiling .

“You . . . Human . What did you do?” The wrath of the vampire marquis provoked fear .  

However, Asuka was relaxed since she was already prepared for death . “It is as you can see . I hunted a dog that tried to protect its sleeping master . ”

It was an accusation and mockery toward him .  Eroded by the effect of the strengthened curse, he was unable to open his eyes in time to prevent his loyal beast from being killed .  The axe struck the wolf .

“ . . . I’ll chew you up well . ” Fenrir stepped out of the coffin and approached Asuka .  He moved at a very slow pace .  It was an attitude that wanted to create fear and deep regret for as long as possible .

‘A monster is a monster . ’

He was accompanied by several status conditions .  If Fenrir had woken up on time, Asuka’s party would’ve been wiped out . They wouldn’t have been able to injure the wolf properly, let alone kill it .  Asuka opened her inventory and threw the axe inside with trembling hands, pulling out two swords .  One of the swords was stuck in a black sheath, on which the symbol of the sun was engraved .

‘I can’t catch this monster . ’

It was unlikely that the 36 high rankers would reunite to challenge the Fenrir raid again .  Asuka’s party had consumed too many resources against the wolf guarding his coffin, not Fenrir, and experienced too much despair .  Asuka was certain that Grid and the Overgeared members were the only party that could raid Fenrir’s city and reach Fenrir’s room .

Additionally, Asuka knew Grid’s power .  She believed that Grid would kill the vampire in a more brutal manner than he killed her .  Asuka pulled the sword stuck in the sheath and threw it .  She muttered as if talking to the party members watching as they became corpses, “Didn’t we get a lot of titles from hunting the wolf? We’ll be happy with that . ”

Asuka was swallowed up alive .  The most horrific form of death that traumatized many players struck Asuka .  Still, she didn’t blink and accepted the pain .

“The last supper . . . Enjoy it well?”

“Kukuk . ”

“ . . . !”

As she left her will, the relaxed smile on Asuka’s face collapsed .  The Sun Sword, which she had thrown for the next challenger, was sucked into Fenrir’s hand .  Fenrir got an awful burn when he held the Sun Sword in his hand .  Still, his expression didn’t change as he threw the Sun Sword to the center of the high ceiling .  It got stuck behind the chandelier and couldn’t be seen with the naked eye .  The Sun Sword was sealed by itself .  In front of the AI of a super-named monster, Asuka became the first player to have an item stolen by a monster .

[The title ‘Fool’ has been acquired for your stupid act that will go down in history . ]

“XX!!” Asuka cursed harshly as she died .

***

[The production of Braham’s Robes has been completed . ]

[You have succeeded in producing a legendary item, and your Tailoring skill will grow rapidly to advanced level 3 . ]

[A legendary rated item was produced, so all stats have permanently risen by +25 and reputation throughout the continent has risen by +1,000 . ]

‘Good!’

One of the sources of Grid’s power was his stats .  However, since his blacksmithing technique had grown to a certain level, the growth rate of his stats had slowed .  Of course, that was a story limited to blacksmithing .  Tailoring was different .  In the world of tailoring, Grid wasn’t tainted water but a green sprout . Therefore, the stats synergy was applied according to the grade of the produced item .

That’s why Grid was so pleased with Braham’s gift .  The hats, robes, and gloves could also be crafted with Tailoring, so for the time being, it was expected that Grid’s stats would grow rapidly .  The ‘all stats +25’ effect would be maintained for the five legendary items that were produced .  

‘In the future, I should grind my tailoring by manufacturing Braham’s set . ’

The problem was with the materials .  The fabric needed to make Braham’s set came from repardo thread, and this wasn’t readily available .  The specialty product was produced only in a small frontier town of the Gauss Kingdom and at a low quantity . Additionally, the Overgeared Kingdom and Gauss Kingdom were in a hostile relationship, so export restrictions applied .

‘It will soon be time to fight . ’

Historically, the Overgeared Kingdom had suffered too much aggression and hostility from the Gauss Kingdom .  For the Overgeared Kingdom that had to expand their territory, going to war with the neighboring Gauss Kingdom was something unavoidable .  The reason why Lauel increased military expenditure after the firm alliance with the empire was that he was mindful of the war against the Gauss Kingdom .

“Hrmm . ”

Beside him, Braham was wearing the robe .  It was a light blue robe with silver embroidery on both shoulders .  Dressed in the very gorgeous and luxurious outfit, Braham stood up .  It was a design that didn’t match with an extremely ordinary face, just like the current skin mask that Braham was wearing .  Nevertheless, Braham didn’t care .

“An empty appearance . . . ” He expressed disappointment with the less delicate embroidery, but when it came to the robe’s ability to enhance magic, he tested the performance several times and nodded like it was fine .

“I’ll continue making the same clothes and will make them look better, so bear with it for now . ”

Once Grid achieved advanced master level for Tailoring, he would be able to make items by combining blacksmithing and tailoring .  Then he would make a real Braham set .  Grid smiled at the reminder of the class quest that hadn’t been completed for years .

A few days passed .

“I finally got my boots . ”

“Yes . ”

He was on the road to the smithy .  Grid quickened his pace toward Braham, who was wearing gorgeous clothes and accessories with his plain face .  It was an effort to not look like a fashion terrorist to other people .  Honestly, it was embarrassing .  Grid had to wonder if Ahyoung, who had dated him for one day when he was a fashion terrorist, was unexpectedly kind-hearted .

Once Grid finally arrived at the smithy, new questions were raised . “Ah, by the way… The skewer you mentioned . Is it something that normal dragons like, not just the Gourmet Dragon? Can they be bribed with it?”

“The food that the Gourmet Dragon enjoys is a delicacy for other dragons . ”

“Hoh . . . ”

Valuable information was obtained .  If he encountered a dragon in the future, he might be able to survive by bribing it with skewers .  This time, the skewer had to be thrown at the dog that Fenrir was raising .

‘I have a new place to use reputation . Later, new skewers can be obtained . ’

Grid made a plan while starting the production of Braham’s Boots .  Then exactly three days later, Grid’s group arrived at the entrance of Fenrir’s city .
