Overgeared - Chapter 1290

Chapter 1290: 1290

“Don’t you think you should sleep? Is it really okay if you don’t take a break?”

“The sun and the rain are my blanket . I feel like I’m lying down even if I don’t lie down . The smell of the grass and soil calms my mind and the fatigue of my body will naturally be eliminated . Working here is a break for me . ”

‘The legendary farmer smells the soil . . . ’

Would there be a day when the smell of iron became aromatic to him? Then his labor efficiency would be slightly higher . . .

Grid could become the supreme one because he naturally had these thoughts . Being the best in the game was evidence that he was more diligent than others . During the time when others were resting, he stood alone and did even more to step on the threshold of the supreme one . In that sense, Grid deserved to be the supreme one . Even now, he was eager to work more and more despite being exhausted .

“I understand . I'm going to rest . The sun will set soon so take care of it . ”

“Yes, Your Majesty . I will surely bring you good news . ”

The golden walnut was a potential permanent stat increaser with the second-best effect after the elixir . The cultivation of the golden walnuts was Grid’s dream and Piaro wanted to fulfill Grid’s dream .

“I know I am pretty to the little ones . . . ”

The Xing King had three sons . They were 6, 7, and 10 years old . All of them saw Grid and fell in love at first sight, clamoring to marry him .

Grid shrugged and returned to his room . Then he stood in front of the mirror . He could see Irene who was smiling slightly . Due to the faint wrinkles around her eyes and her deep gaze, she no longer had the impression of a girl . She was modest as the mother of a child and strong as the parent of tens of millions of people . Even so, Grid knew—the beautiful woman whose image was being reflected in the mirror in front of him was still tender and weak .

Grid murmured as he gripped his delicate wrist, “Definitely . . . by all means . . . ”

He would give her youth and life close to eternity . He would help her avoid the solitude and fear from seeing him never change . Grid pledged without considering Irene’s position at all . He believed that Irene would be delighted .

Grid got goosebumps as he was looking into the mirror . The windows were open . He noticed it only after the curtains were blown by the wind .

‘What?’

It was definitely closed when he first entered the room? Grid looked everywhere in this spacious room .

“……”

The interior was as quiet as a dead rat . Grid couldn’t feel anything or find anything . Even his transcendent senses were silent .

“Is it night?”

Grid brought out the Enlightenment Sword that was attached to the Pulling Device . Silence occurred as he focused on hearing an intruder who might be hiding somewhere while summoning the Fire Dragon Sword behind his back .

Step, step, step .

The sound of Grid’s footsteps echoed through the serene interior . Just before he reached the window, Grid shouted, “God Hands!” Six black-gold hands shot out of the open window . Among them, one hand was faster than the others . The timing of using the buff skill attached to the weapon it was holding was also the most advanced .

“ . . . . . . ?”

Grid, who planned to join the God Hands after they grabbed the intruder hanging from the window sill, suddenly stopped . The God Hands were just moving back and forth in the air . They lost their place because they couldn’t find the target . It happened as Grid was feeling flustered . . .

[Danger is coming . ]

His transcendent senses sent him a warning .

-Master!Behind you!

One step late, the Fire Dragon Sword cried out . There was a deafening explosion just behind Grid .

“Keuk!”

Grid stepped back in a hurry and tried to figure out what was going on . He barely endured the tinnitus that disturbed his mind as he raised his eyes and witnessed the shocking scene . The Fire Dragon Sword wasn’t equipped and didn’t receive his stat effect . It was facing a disaster that could never be dealt with alone .

Zikfrector wielded Saharan’s Sword and his attack collided with the Fire Dragon Sword .

‘Was he in the room?’

Even Faker, who had become Lantier, couldn’t open a window and sneak into the room without Grid noticing . It was because moving objects would make a subtle noise and the airflow would change . Thus, there was a limit to moving around . The grandmaster opened the window in the short period of time when Grid was looking at the mirror and hid himself in the room . Grid couldn’t see him even when looking carefully, and despite his transcendent senses, Grid couldn’t sense him .

‘Was it to this extent?’

It wasn’t an exaggeration that he was the strongest NPC recognized by Chairman Lim Cheolho . If Dragon Slayer Hayate of the Tower of Wisdom was one of the ultimate transcendents, Grandmaster Zikfrector was approaching another ultimate, a god slayer . The only reason he failed to become a god slayer was due to the sin of ‘sloth . ’

The sin engraved in him by the gods made Zikfrector fall asleep without being able to engage in a war with the gods . The greatest sin was engraved on him out of the seven malignant saints, showing the gods were the most vigilant against him . If all of the seven malignant saints had gathered and fought against the gods, the gods might’ve perished . . .

It happened as Grid’s thoughts were deepening . . .

The Fire Dragon Sword was unable to withstand the weight of the grandmaster’s ensuing attack and flew into the wall . Some blood flowed from above Grid’s eye due to the Fire Dragon Sword passing by him . A brilliant light shone in the grandmaster’s eyes that had been stained with tiredness .

“You didn’t avoid it . ”

The grandmaster had calculated the trajectory as he threw back the mysterious sword that moved on its own . It was perfectly induced to cut the left eye of the monster pretending to be the Overgeared Queen . However, the sword’s trajectory was slightly deflected due to slight movements on its own . The monster saw this and didn’t dodge the sword .

“That dynamic vision . . . it is transcendent . ”

The grandmaster’s mind was spinning rapidly . Hands and swords that moved on their own—these were artifacts that reminded him of Overgeared King Grid . The identity of the monster impersonating the Overgeared Queen was probably . . .

“……”

“ . . . Cough . ”

The tension inside Grid grew .

The grandmaster, or the 6th evil, Zik . It was astonishing that he appeared in front of Grid half a day after the incident when he had the sin of ‘sloth . ’ The grandmaster was currently standing silently and it was hard to tell what he was thinking, so Grid became even more uneasy .

In the end, Grid opened his mouth first, “Zikfrector . ”

‘How do you know my name?’

“You can’t meet with the gods who were driven out . They control the human race to their own taste and might be more terrifying than the gods of the west . ”

‘How do you know my purpose?’

The grandmaster’s eyes staring at Grid were once again filled with tiredness .

He had come here with the idea that the person who killed Susan couldn’t be the Overgeared Queen . This had already exhausted all his mental strength . He was in the middle of inferring the identity of the monster pretending to be the Overgeared Queen when an extreme laziness dominated him .

The sin of ‘sloth,’ imprinted in his soul, was encroaching on his mind . In the end . . .

“It’s annoying . ”

“ . . . Eh?”

“First of all, I’ll go back first . ”

The incident with the grandmaster completely stopped in an abrupt manner . The only thing left in the grandmaster was a homing instinct and the desire for sleep .

“Get out of the way . ”

“N-No, hey! Come and see what is going on! If a person says something then you should react . . . !”

Grid was trying to grab the passing grandmaster when he confirmed what he looked like in the mirror . It was only then that he understood why the grandmaster was hostile to him . He tried to take off the skin mask, but the grandmaster had already flown out the window .

“Ah . . . Damn . ”

It couldn’t be helped . He hadn’t wanted to do this, yet . . .

Grid clicked his tongue and sent a whisper to someone .

-What are you doing?

The target of the whisper was clearly online . An answer wasn’t received, but Grid wasn’t nervous . He was convinced that the other person couldn’t ignore his whisper . It was as he expected .

-What? It was strange that the Overgeared Queen appeared . Sure enough, you came together to the East Continent .

A reluctant answer soon came back . The identity of the other person was Zibal . He was one of Grid’s biggest competitors in the past and today .

-Tell this to the grandmaster . If he is still thinking about humanity, he shouldn’t trust the expelled gods . They are worse than the gods of the west .

- . . . Come to think of it, there was something in your epics criticizing the gods of the east .

- . . . . . .

Grid’s face was hot the moment the epics were mentioned . Honestly, Grid didn’t feel very good because the epics broadcasted his situation, feelings, and comments live to players around the world . Every time he thought of the epics in the news, he would wake up from his sleep kicking his quilt . He was ashamed and wanted to sue the S . A Group for violating his privacy .

Zibal responded to the silent Grid .

-I will dismiss your request . I can’t just judge the target by listening to your one-sided arguments . In the first place, I’m not in a position to advise the grandmaster .

-Just pass on my words . The grandmaster will think about it again if it is from me .

-What?

Zibal scoffed . The grandmaster was one of the most important NPCs in Satisfy’s worldview . Most of the two billion players would never face him in their lifetime . Now Grid was saying that such a big guy would listen to him?

‘Of course, the relationship between the grandmaster and Grid isn’t shallow . . . ’

However, this was too much . It was pure arrogance . In the end, Zibal could only laugh and accept it .

-Well, okay .

‘I need to repay you for what you did for the Haken Kingdom . ’ Zibal swallowed back these words and asked Grid who was thanking him .

-You made a blood alliance with Xing . Will you fight for the Xing King if the grandmaster goes to him .

-Of course .

-Is that so . . . if you are truly determined, then you should evacuate the queen in advance . I might not be able to lose .

-Hahat . Thank you for the advice .

-You are really crazy . Don’t you know that you’re not in a position to laugh .

-No, I really want to thank you .

-Tsk .

The conversation between the two people soon ended .

The next day, the sun had risen to the middle of the sky when Zibal visited the grandmaster, who just woke up . Zibal spoke carefully, “The Overgeared King says that you shouldn’t trust the gods who have been expelled . ”

“……”

As expected, there was no answer . The grandmaster was awake less than two hours a day and had the ability to ignore useless words .

‘I have done my duty . ’

Zibal felt relieved of the burden of doing Grid a favor and was about to step back . Then he heard a voice . “I understand . ”

“ . . . . . . ??”

Zibal was dumbfounded when the grandmaster nodded at the words .
