Overgeared - Chapter 1159

Chapter 1159: 1159

‘The God Hands are the best . ’

Grid had felt a bit at a loss when he broke through the lazy cow community and entered the jungle .  The jungle had been untouched by humans for a long time and was a mess .  It was hard to see in the darkness . The bushes poked at his eyes and skin while poisonous insects entered his ears and mouth . There was the unpleasant moisture, scorching heat, swamp areas hidden by vines, etc .  The difficulty of moving through the jungle itself was quite high . The difficulty level was comparable to an instance dungeon .

However, Grid had the God Hands .  The power of the God Hands, each one holding a sword, was incomparable to the weed killers of the army .  They cut the bushes much faster and move actively, providing Grid with visibility and a safe path .

“It’s cool . ”

He just had to walk along the opened road so it was fun .  For the current Grid, even the hot wind felt like a fresh spring breeze .

‘It would be nice to make the God Hands in reality . ’ Grid thought this as he walked slowly .

He was checking the loot he obtained from the black cow .

[Foolish Gambler’s Die]

[Rating: Unique

Durability: 5/5

* The durability is reduced by one with every use .

* Can’t be repaired .

A die obtained from the black cow . You can roll the desired number .

Conditions of Use: None .

Weight: 0 . 1]

First, there was the die .  The purpose wasn’t exactly stated .  It seemed like a simple entertainment item .  However, the ability to ‘always roll the desired number’ was never simple .

‘It is definitely something that will help in certain situations . In addition, the black cow’s horns are the perfect high-grade material superior to a minotaur’s horns . ’

Most of the famous bows currently in circulation were made of a minotaur’s horns . A bow made of the higher rated material, the black cow’s horns, were more likely to have a ‘minimum’ legendary rating .  The conclusion was that both the die and the black cow’s horns were a great luxury .  Clearing the lazy cow community was not a bad choice .

Nevertheless, Grid felt more regret than accomplishment .  The cause was the title .

[Pangea's New Star 2nd Stage]

[Stage 1: It is relatively easy to obtain information from the residents of Pangea .

Stage 2: The quest acquisition rate increases in the Pangea region .

* Every time you destroy a monster community formed in the north, the level and effectiveness of the title will increase . ]

‘As expected . . . It might’ve gone up one stage but it is still a title only usable in Pangea . ’

It wasn’t strange since ‘Pangea's New Star’ was the name . It was fully understandable but he still felt regret .  Now Pangea was a complete ghost town .  Quest acquisition rate increase? There was no meaning .  There were no residents to talk to so getting a quest was nonsense .  

Step, step .

Grid hastened his pace .  The foliage was constantly being cut . No, the God Hands were floating in the air in the distance while waiting for Grid .  It seemed that they had reached the end of the jungle and judged their mission was over .

“Defensive stance . ”

Grid issued a new order and the God Hands raised their blades . They spun unusually fast around Grid .  It was a type of sword curtain .  It wasn’t a great technique that boasted absolute defense like Sword Saint Kraugel or Biban’s sword curtain but it was good enough for Grid, who expanded the application of the God Hands . They were poised to tear all threats to Grid to shreds .  

“Wow . . . ” Grid exclaimed as he was guided by the God Hands and reached the end of the jungle .  He admired the clear scenery .  The red maple leaves turned yellow against the purple sky, creating a mysterious and dreamy harmony . A mountain towered in the center of the landscape, shining gold in symmetry with the sun .  It was a completely different atmosphere from the scenery of the West Continent .

‘This is the community of toothless tigers . . . ’

Grid didn’t have time to spare and leapt off the hill .  Was it surprised by the arrival of a stranger after a long time? The red clay-like land was shaking like it was wary of Grid .

‘ . . . I don’t think there are any big problems . ’

It happened while Grid was stepping on the land, touching it, and smelling it .  The leaves of the area shook and 10 tigers appeared .  Strangely, the tigers walked like humans .  They were one head taller than Grid and their shoulders were wider than a bear’s . The muscles on their bodies were developed . They had sharp claws and teeth and they were very intimidating .

‘What? They are fine?’

The lazy cows were, as the name suggested, lazy .  However, these tigers had their teeth, unlike their name . No, it was beyond a decent level . The sharp teeth glowed white without any tartar and raised Grid’s alertness .

‘They’re different . They could be tough opponents . ’

Grid handed Mjolnirs to the God Hands and held the Enlightenment Sword . He adjusted the distance so that he couldn’t be surrounded by tigers and prepared to perform the sword dance at any time .

“Ttak!”

“ . . . ?”

“Ttack!”

“ . . . !”

Grid’s concentration was boosted to the extreme, only for him to become flustered .  He was surprised because the tigers shouted instead of attacking .

“Rice cake! Rice cake! Rice cake! Rice cake!!”

The tigers were shouting as they repeatedly tried to surround Grid and failed .  Grid kept moving strangely and escaping from their encirclement so they became angry and expressed their irritation .  

“Your rude brat! Let me talk, talk! Hold still for me to talk!”

“ . . . !”

“It is my time to talk! A human should be terrified when seeing a tiger!”

“ . . . !”

“Hold still! Don’t squirm around and stay in place!! Looking at your body, you’re an adult . As an adult, you should know that your butt is heavy! What female would like a guy with a light butt? You won’t be able to mate for the rest of your life!”

“ . . . ”

Weren’t there monsters that spoke the human language in Satisfy? It wasn’t unusual for tigers to speak the human language .  Yet Grid was surprised and speechless .  The tigers' tone was too realistic .  It was reminiscent of the tone of the unemployed elderly people who lived in his neighborhood .  Grid stared blankly at the tigers who kept yelling at him and they growled with satisfaction once they succeeded in encircling him .

“Give me a piece of rice cake and I won’t eat you . ” 

“Wave . ” This was the best method with dealing with a large number of enemies .  The wide-area sword dance was activated almost immediately and energy blades were launched in all directions around Grid .  He planned to deal with the tigers immediately by linking it with a basic attack .  However . . .

“ . . . !”

Grid’s ambush was blocked in advance .  The tiger blocked the sword that wanted to cut off its neck using its hard teeth .  Its upper body strength was lower than Grid but there didn’t seem to be a significant difference . However, its agility seemed to be boiling over .  The stats of the lazy cows he met earlier focused on specific skills rather than physical strength .  

“Can’t you stand still and listen instead of swinging your sword? Youths these days . . . !”

‘They are truly tigers . ’

Grid didn’t listen to the tigers’ cries .  He felt he would be distracted if he focused on their conversation .  

‘The king of beasts should have superior racial bonuses so I should think of them as elite monsters . ’

Grid amplified his strength with Blacksmith's Rage and recovered the Enlightenment Sword from the toothless tiger .  Then . . .

“Aheung!”

The tiger biting the Enlightenment Sword uttered a scream . Grid could see tears in its eyes .  Grid was surprised .  “Dentures?”

It was the moment when the secrets of the teeth were revealed .  Grid stared at the absurd sight of dentures embedded in the Enlightenment Sword and a toothless tiger spoke to him, “Rice cake . . . we want to eat soft rice cakes . ”

[A quest has been created due to Pangea's New Star’s effect!]

[Give a Piece of Rice Cake]

[★ Hidden Quest ★

The toothless tigers lost their instincts after losing their teeth .

They stay away from hunting and eating meat and miss soft food like rice cakes .  

Even though the big hero felt sorry for the tigers and gave them dentures, they still miss rice cakes . They used to threaten the merchants passing by to take away the rice cakes .

Quest Clear Conditions: Provide rice cakes to the toothless tigers .

Quest Clear Rewards: Increased affinity with the toothless tigers .

Quest Failure: Hostility with the toothless tigers . ]

“ . . . . . . ”

An increase in the quest acquisition rate in the Pangea region .  Grid was silent for a moment as he experienced the effect of the second stage of Pangea's New Star .  There had been rumors that named bosses could give quests but perhaps he was the first person to receive a quest from a normal monster, not a boss .

Grid scratched his head and pulled something out from his inventory .  It was a snack made by Sherry, a chef of the Second Overgeared Guild .  It was the moment her effort to make traditional snacks from various countries due to the diverse origins of the Overgeared Guild came to fruition .

“It is melting, heung . ”

“It is more delicious than the rice cake I used to eat, heung . ”

“It is good that my gums don’t hurt, heung . ”

The tigers were intoxicated on the sweet yet savory bean flavor and laughed as they enjoyed the rice cakes .

‘They are surprisingly cute . . . ’

Maybe the tigers weren’t simple monsters but were mythical creatures? Then they were corrupted by the evil daoist .  Grid watched from far away .

[★Hidden Quest ★ ‘Give a Piece of Rice Cake’ has been cleared . ]

[Affinity with the toothless tigers has increased as a reward for the quest . ] 

[The satisfaction of the toothless tigers are very high!” Affinity has increased further!]

Now it was time to find their value .  Grid started to question the tigers who were sucking the soybean flour on the tip of their claws .  “Why are your teeth missing?”

“One day, the king of Mount Bukdu came down to the forest and pulled out all our teeth .  Aheung . ” 

“Mount Bukdu?”

“There . ”

The tigers pointed to the mountain towering in the distance .  Was it because of the sun? The mountain, that had been illuminated in gold when he first saw it, was now covered with the shadow of deep darkness .

“Who is the king?”

“The blue tiger . . . his fur colour is blue, unlike us . ”

“A blue tiger . . . ”

“A blue tiger . He is the offspring of the white tiger, one of the four sacred creatures, and is a terrible monster, heung . ”

“A descendant of the white tiger?”

The bosses of the communities Grid had been to were clearly powerful .  Yet a descendant of a sacred creature? 

‘Won’t it be different from the others?’

Was this why the level of the toothless tigers was particularly high compared to the rats and cows? Grid became tense .

“Why did he pull out your teeth?”

“Aheung . . . I don’t know . The king was captured by a yangban a long time ago and his personality became strange after he returned . I don’t know what he is thinking because he stays in the mountains alone . In the past, he was very gentle and helpful . . . ”

“Yangban!”

Did they drag away a rare animal for a show? It was possible when considering Garam’s personality .  Maybe the blue tiger was ruined by the yangbans .

‘I’ll know if we meet . ’

Grid frowned and moved onto the next question .

“Is the identity of the big hero a daoist immortal? He gave you dentures . ”

The hero who saved Pangea from a crisis—he left his mark here and on the colony of the big poisonous rats .  After saving Pangea, he had kept moving north .  This might suggest that the Peach Blossom Spring was somewhere in the north .  However, the answer was completely different from what Grid expected .

“He wasn’t a daoist immortal . ”

“What?”

The person was so powerful despite not being a daoist immortal or a yangban?

It happened as a chill was going down Grid’s spine .

“Human! Get out of here!!”

A thunderous roar came from the top of Bukdu Mountain and the entire forest shook .

[You have discovered a strong presence of this era!] 

[The Hero King’s fighting energy has started to boil!] 

[Your transcendent senses warn you of danger!]

The jungle landscape and Grid were assimilated .  Grid was surrounded by the red-purple fighting energy and his sense of existence became as huge as a forest .

“B-Blue tiger . . . !”

The tigers’ eyes widened and they turned deadly pale .

‘I don’t know how strong he is . ’

Grid noticed a small dot descending from the mountain and started a serious and beautiful sword dance .  His long arms moved in a spiral and blue-black petals scattered everywhere .

‘I can’t fall in a place like this when I have to take down Garam . . . ’

Grid’s expression stiffened .  The blue tiger got close enough for his eyes to be visible and tears spilled like a waterfall—he obviously cried as he looked at Grid .  “Pagmaaaaaa!!!!”

“ . . . !?”
