Overgeared - Chapter 1190

Chapter 1190: 1190

Kars had been heavily damaged by the invasion of the yangbans but the restoration was completed in just a few days .  This was due to the Cho Kingdom’s excellent technology, the protection of the red phoenix, and the active help of the players .

That’s right—the players didn’t leave Kars .  They stood by the people of Kars during their most difficult time .  It was the same for Hera, the doctor .  Despite already making the medicine she needed, she remained in Kars and did her best to treat the wounded . She comforted those who had lost their families .  In the minds of the players, hostility toward the Hwan Kingdom was established .

“Never! You must never spread this and have to absolutely keep it a secret! Understood?" Before leaving Kars, Hera emphasized to the players again and again .  

At this point, some wondered if she was a parrot .  The players looked tired as they patted Hera’s back .

“I understand . Now that you know, go quickly . ”

Over the past few days, Hera and the players had formed a close bond .  They had joined forces to resist the yangbans and to help the people of Kars with one heart .  They had stayed in Kars because they had the similar tendency of being unable to turn away from those who were struggling . Thus, it was natural to get close .

“Are you sure?!”

“Sigh, look . I don’t like Grid but I don’t have the guts to turn him into an enemy . Don’t worry, we will never talk about what Grid is doing on the East Continent . ”

Grid was so strong that he couldn’t be compared to the time of the Berith raid and he was also accompanied by the legendary great magician Braham .  The players in Kars unintentionally learned a lot of information but they didn’t want to talk about it .  It was natural to be careful because their position was high .  The people here were mostly rankers .  There were many people with things to lose .

“Good . Then I’ll see you next time . If you experience anything hard then please contact me . ”

Hera finally left Kars .  Once she learned that the man who helped her—Kentrick—was Grid, she wanted to help Grid in this way .

‘I didn’t know he was so righteous . ’

The general public thought that the supreme one was a lofty being .  Before discussing good and evil, he was like a figure in a different world .  She had thought the supreme one wouldn’t be interested in the ordinary lives of ordinary people .

However, the appearance of the supreme person she actually met was completely different from her imagination .  He was the first to reach out to the weak who even ordinary people ignored and embraced them while also not condemning those who ignored the weak .  He was fighting for someone as best as he could, without revealing who he was, even in the face of few witnesses .

‘How can he do that . . . ’

She heard that he had lived an unhappy life .  A psychologist she saw on TV analyzed that Grid would have a deep inferiority and desire for compensation . He was considered to be a person who couldn’t empathize with others and only lived for himself .  That person was a quack .  The reality of Grid was completely different .  Such a person was really rare in the world and was worthy of great respect .

‘May your path be full of blessings . ’ Hera’s short prayer was just the beginning .  In the future, more people would pray to Grid .

***

Grid had been faithful to every moment .  It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he always did his best .  The same was true in the days when he wasn’t yet successful .  He just failed because he lacked talent and didn’t even have luck .  However, now he had found his talent . He had a little bit of bad luck but it was enough to be ignored .

‘I couldn’t try it back then . ’

Grid created a new portable furnace and recalled the competition with Hexetia .  Despite the fact that his reliance on the God Hands was absolute at that time, Grid had sacrificed the God Hands .  He gave up on the experience accumulated by the God Hands and melted it to make the materials of a sword .  He judged that this was the only chance of winning .  

Grid was the best at that time .  Yes, it was the best .  He saw that there was nothing more .  He had ruled out joining two breaths together .  He judged that it was impossible .  At that time, it had been technically impossible to fuse two breaths together .  

‘I thought it wouldn’t be possible due to the system . ’

The breaths of the Four Gods were the highest rated crafting materials .  Items made with a single breath gave birth to a myth rating .  Combining two breaths to make an item? It would make an item outside the range of common sense .  Grid had been convinced that the S . A Group who liked balance wouldn’t just watch .

Now things were different .  Grid’s technique had evolved and the strength of his enemies was beyond common sense .  Creating an item with two breaths seemed theoretically and systemically possible .  Of course, it was just a possibility .

“Sigh . ”

Grid’s expression was tense as he took a deep breath .  He firmly prepared himself in front of the portable furnaces, one to the left and one to the right .

‘It will be a different level of difficulty similar to double casting . ’

He had Belial’s Staff that allowed triple casting .  There was a time when Braham used it while possessing Grid .  However, Grid didn’t use it .  Grid didn’t have the talent to take advantage of Belial’s Staff .  Grid couldn’t properly use the double casting, let alone the triple casting .  In order to double cast, he had to chant one spell in his head while speaking the other one . It was difficult with Grid’s brains .

It wouldn’t be easy to smelt two minerals at the same time .  In order to adjust the temperatures of the two furnaces differently, it was necessary to move the bellows with his feet in a different manner .  In order to melt the breaths in two furnaces at the same time, the movements of both hands couldn’t be the same . Since each breath had a different tempering method, the movement required was different .  In other words, he had to move his limbs separately .  Every action had to be grounded .  

‘There is a bigger problem . ’

The task of taking the two breaths out of the furnace and tempering them into one .  This task should be completed in 30 seconds .  It was because even for minerals melted at high temperatures, the surface would quickly harden as long as it was exposed to room temperature for more than 20 seconds .  It was necessary to fuse them into one perfect shape before the two breaths were fully hardened .

‘If it fails then I’ll have to throw away one of my breaths . ’

In order to separate the combined breaths, it would have to be dissolved again . In the process, one breath would be damaged and lose its value .

‘No, don’t think about failure . ’

Grid shook off the negative thoughts .  He reminded himself that he had one advantage over Hexetia .  It was the presence of the God Hands .  Not only did the God Hands inherit some of Grid’s stats, they had some blacksmithing ability .

‘I can use the God Hands’ assistance in the tempering process . ’

They could also help in the task of regulating the temperature of the furnaces .  Increasing the temperature to a certain level was only possible by Grid but maintaining the temperature for a while was enough for the God Hands .

‘If the hands press the pedals instead, I can rest my legs in the middle . Then focus on the movements of both hands and extract the melted minerals at the same time . . . ’

He was forced to focus on his subsequent work .  Could he fuse two minerals into a complete one in 30 seconds . . . ? Grid’s calculations were breathtaking .  Based on the dexterity and skills that were enhanced when Blacksmith’s Skill Comparable to a God was activated, it was possible to complete it in 29~36 seconds .

‘If I had six more seconds then I would be able to do it perfectly . ’

A little bit more .  He could focus on himself a bit more and do better .  In the end, everything depended on himself .

Grid threw firewood into the small stove of the portable furnace and it caught on fire .  Since the firewood was the white phosphorus wood, there was an explosion and the surface of the furnace quickly turned red .  Grid planned to fuse the White Tiger’s Breath and Blue Dragon’s Breath into one .  Although there was the synergy of the white tiger’s defense and the red phoenix’s recovery, he wanted to finish the set item effect .

‘I already have the Blue Dragon’s Boots so if this item gains the set effect, I can aim for the blue dragon and white tiger sets at the same time . ’

Grid decided and took out the two breaths, about to put them in different furnaces .

“Wait!” An unexpected voice stopped him .

“That isn’t good . ”

It was Tosun .

"What?" Grid was confused .  It didn’t make sense for Tosun to react like this when she was the one who suggested he fuse two breaths together .

Tosun told Grid to stop acting and Grid asked for an explanation .  “The Four Gods are the guardian gods of humanity, born from the aspirations of humanity . ”

“So? Why do we have to talk about something we already know?”

“The Four Gods are basically only kind to humans . ”

“ . . . ?”

“They reveal their full personalities to non-human beings and the characters of the white tiger and blue dragon aren’t normal . They both have a strong heart . As long as they meet, a fight will happen . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

“The two gods have personalities that can’t be integrated . The same is true for the breaths of the two gods . ”

“ . . . Did the white tiger win the last time they fought?”

“How do you know . . . ? This is a fact that only the Twelve Zodiacs who serve God White Tiger and God Blue Dragon know . ”

“That isn’t important . . . ” 

Grid had an uncomfortable look on his face .

“Based on this, is the Black Tortoise’s Breath okay? I think the black tortoise’s personality is the most ferocious . ”

The only god associated with death and extinction, it had a habit of denying artificial substances so blacksmiths and created goods were considered bad .  Grid was forced to feel negatively toward the black tortoise . He thought the Black Tortoise’s Breath wouldn’t be in harmony with the breath of the other gods .

However, Tosun’s answer was surprising .  “The personality of the black tortoise is the most gentle . ”

“ . . . Ah, I see . ”

It wasn’t very credible but it was useless to discuss it anymore .  How could he aimed to combine it with other breaths when at the moment, he couldn’t even properly manage the Black Tortoise’s Breath .

‘Then I will try the combination of the red phoenix and the white tiger . ’

It was unfortunate that he couldn’t aim for the blue dragon set effect but in fact, the combination of the red phoenix and white tiger was better .  Grid fully controlled the temperature of the two furnaces and put in the White Tiger’s Breath and Red Phoenix’s Breath .

Grid’s two legs were busily working the two furnaces .  Grid didn’t rest and the breaths in the furnace started to melt .

“God Hands!” Before moving his own hand, Grid asked for help .  He left one furnace to the God Hands and focused on the movements of his arms .  At the end of the task, the breaths that had melted to liquid appeared in the world .  The two breaths were placed on the anvil and at the same time, Grid swung his hammer .

‘Please . . . !’

Grid was desperate .  He wanted better items .  A stronger power!
