Chapter 143
?????
The combat power displayed above the Awakened Guardian of the Forest’s head was made of only question marks . If this were Grid from a few months back, he wouldn’t have been able to guess why and probably would’ve thought it as a bug and grumbled about it .
However, now he was different . After many incidents, Grid had calmed and matured almost to the point of unfamiliarity . His thinking power finally belonged to the category of normal people .
‘Is this implying that its combat power is too high for my insight?’
Peng!
“Ah, is my scouting broken? What’s with your immeasurable combat strength?”
Grid was reminded of a scene from an old manhwa . His insight had worked on the pope, so this meant that the guardian in front of him was stronger than the pope .
“How rotten… I came here to play but I met a strong enemy . ”
Grid had defeated the pope and obtained the legendary battle gear set, so he was much stronger than before . He had planned to easily defeat the Guardian of the Forest . Then what was this awakening mode?
Grid wasn’t aware of why the Guardian of the Forest awakened and why it was at this time . But he didn’t panic . He thought about it calmly and positively .
‘It will be a tough fight, but I think that it will work out well . Doesn’t it seem like the guardian will give a lot of blue orichalcum?’
The ash grey forest couldn’t dim the light of the blue orichalcum on the awakened guardian’s body . If he could obtain all those blue orichalcum, wouldn’t he be able to make two Failures?
‘I will collect it!’ Grid wanted to take out a pickaxe . However, he needed to first neutralize the guardian . ‘I can’t be too excited or I might miss the jackpot . Let’s not attack carelessly and wait for a chance . ’
Grid was a greatsword lover . Except for the Ideal Dagger that he made for a quest, he had always used a greatsword since starting Satisfy until now . He was confident that he had a higher understanding of a greatsword than most users did .
All out power! Deadly blows!
“Phew . ”
Grid grasped Dainsleif tightly and took deep breaths . He waited for a moment . The awakened guardian stared at Grid, then a red light flashed in its eyes . It made a posture like a sprinter, then quickly narrowed the distance towards Grid .
Grid timed it .
‘One . Two . Now!’
It was perfect timing . As soon as the awakened guardian ran into Dainsleif’s attack range, Grid released all his tensed muscles .
Kwaang!
An explosive sword strike! Dainsleif caused a dark red afterglow as it accurately struck the guardian’s chest .
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 5,700 damage to the target . ]
The awakened guardian’s health gauge was reduced around 1/100 . Grid was convinced .
‘Just like the size is several times smaller than the original, its defense and health are reduced as well . ’
Monster types could be divided into the main categories of: attack, defense, support, and balance . While it was possible to classify them in more detail depending on species, attributes, skill, etc, these were just the basics .
The Guardian of the Forest was a typical defensive monster . As a peak golem, it possessed both abnormally high defense and health . On the other hand, the Awakened Guardian of the Forest was undoubtedly an offensive monster . It was obvious that it was an aggressive monster when its health was reduced by 1/100 by a single blow, as well as the fact that it killed a knight instantly .
‘The advantages are its fast speed and high attack power . ’
This was a good thing . Grid could exert overwhelming attack power, so he found it more comfortable to deal with offensive types compared to defense types . It was possible to take care of the opponent quickly .
“I will kill you in an instant . ”
The awakened guardian was stronger than the pope? He was also stronger than the pope . Grid’s eyes were filled with confidence . But he still remained calm . His head was cold while his chest was hot .
“…”
Grid didn’t move first . He waited for another chance, just like before .
Peeng!
Indeed . As an offensive type monster, the awakened guardian was aggressive . It didn’t learn and aimed for a frontal attack again .
‘Now!’
Grid calculated the perfect timing for a counter . He swung Dainsleif the moment the awakened guardian entered his range of attack .
Chaaeng!
This time, it was a vertical slash . The heavier blow fell upon the guardian’s shoulders .
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 6,380 damage to the target . ]
Kik . Kkikikik .
The awakened guardian was hit and let out a strange noise . It paused for a moment before heading directly to him again .
‘Hehe, you idiot . Is your IQ in the single digit~?’
On the other hand, Grid believed that his IQ was in the double digits! He prepared for the third counter . He once again swung Dainsleif with proper timing . But this time, there was a completely different result .
The same move no longer worked . The awakened guard avoided the attack by moving its upper body the moment Grid struck . Then it moved around Dainsleif towards Grid’s side .
‘The same stupid lunge was a fake?’
A chill went down Grid’s spine . A monster using a trick! Then the guardian rotated, gathering the centrifugal force before kicked Grid’s face .
[You have been hit by a lethal blow!]
[You have suffered 13,090 damage . ]
“Kuheok…!”
This wasn’t a skill . It was just a kick . In other words, a simple blow . Except, that “simple blow” made him instantly lose a third of his health . This was twice the damage that Grid could deal with his critical attacks . Considering Grid was also equipped with legendary equipment, it was a stunning sight to behold .
[The effect of Doran’s Ring has been activated . ]
[The option of the Holy Light Armor has been activated . ]
[19,635 health has been restored . ]
“Damn bastard!”
The broken nose bone was restored and the nosebleed disappeared without a trace . However, Grid’s anger didn’t fade . Falling for a monster’s tricks? Grid didn’t expect to be so stupid! Then Grid fired Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Link .
Pipit! Pipipipipi-!
17 swords of light covered the awakened guardian’s body . But it didn’t do much damage . The awakened guardian surprised him by avoiding nine of the strikes .
‘Fast!’
Grid panicked as the guardian leapt into the air like a martial artist and evaded . Then it flew above Grid’s head and its heel descended . Grid hurriedly defended .
Jjejeong!
[The durability of +5 Dainsleif (Reproduction) has been reduced by 37 . ]
