Chapter 289 “Humans dare enter my city! Polluting the air!”
The Overgeared members were appalled the moment the blond man appeared . Ominous notification windows consecutively appeared in front of them .
[For the next five minutes, you can’t use ‘Wind Curtain,’ ‘Black Mace,’ and ‘Storm of Eternity . ’]
[For the next five minutes, you can’t use ‘Shield Throw,’ ‘Damage Break,’ and ‘Guardian’s Power . ’]
[For the next five minutes, you can’t use ‘Multi-shot,’ and ‘Red Flame Arrows . ’]
…
…
…
With the exception of Grid, all of them had at least two or three skills sealed off . Those who unfortunately had their main skills sealed were particularly disappointed . But that wasn’t the end .
[All speed will decrease by 30% for the next five minutes . ]
It was a very strong oppression . If just attack speed or movement speed was reduced, the user wouldn’t be able to exercise their true ability . This level of oppression was tremendous .
“Grid! Avoid it!”
Faker hurriedly exclaimed . But it was too late . The vampire earl, Elfin Stone . The furious master of the city was already attacking Grid .
Puhahahak!
A bloody curtain swallowed up Grid . Elfin Stone was convinced that Grid had died .
“Kukukuk, I will come back in awhile . I will kill another person, and then another one the time after that! This will be repeated again and again . I will show you the extreme taste of fear!”
Suruk!
Elfin Stone assimilated with darkness and disappeared like a mirage . The Overgeared members didn’t even think about chasing him . They were grateful that he left . Elfin Stone’s presence was that overwhelming .
“…”
After a few moments of silence . The curtain of blood lifted and Grid frowned .
“What the hell is this?”
Grid only had one point of health left . This wasn’t the end . His whole body was bloody and most of his defense equipment, excluding the Holy Light Armor, was in rags .
“Grid! Are you okay?”
The members came running . Anxiety was on their faces . In particular, Jishuka was deathly pale . This was a reminder that her heart was thinking of Grid .
“As you can see, I’m not okay . ”
Gulp gulp .
‘Shit . ’
Tears formed as the potion poured down his throat . Super Health Recovery Potion . It was a potion made by the alchemists of Reidan . The price of this top grade potion which restored 15,000 health was worth 10 gold . If he drank three bottles of this, he could buy two chickens in reality .
Peak Sword sighed with relief . “Phew, it’s fortunate . Surviving with only one point of health left, isn’t this a complete miracle? It is unbelievable despite seeing it with my own eyes . It’s surprising . ”
Peak Sword didn’t know about Grid’s invincible passive . Grid explained to him . He thought Peak Sword needed to know if they were to be trusted colleagues .
“I have an invincible passive . If I die, my health will be fixed at one point and I will be immune to all damage for five seconds . The cooldown time is 24 hours . ”
“Wow…”
Despite the long cooldown, it prevented Grid from dying? It was like having two lives! A complete scam . A legendary class was truly different .
Grid laughed at the envious Peak Sword .
“So always keep this in mind . In the worst situation, I will stand in front . ”
Grid emphasized this . If a stranger heard this, they would think he purposely had Elfin Stone aim at him .
“Hey Regas . Elfin Stone never appeared earlier when you were explaining?”
“Yes, this is the first time I’ve seen him . ”
“That’s right . We explored for a month and never encountered him . ”
“Then you were lucky . ”
“…”
The mood became serious . This was because the strength of the city’s boss transcended the scope of the Overgeared members .
“Grid is the one with the highest health, but even his invincible passive was invoked . This means that we shouldn’t give him a chance to use the skill . However, the casting time is short and it’s difficult to prepare since we can’t detect when he will appear . ”
“This means we will die one by one whenever he appears . ”
“Should we do a full-scale attack rather than being wiped out one by one?”
“The result is that we will likely be wiped out . We can’t rule out the possibility that our main skills will be sealed . ”
Five minutes was a long time in a struggle with a strong enemy . Having their skills sealed for five minutes was huge and beyond imagination .
“What should we…?”
“There is no answer . ”
It was a completely depressed mood . Grid heard this and quietly muttered, “It wouldn’t be so desperate if I had more time . ”
Yes, time to raise his level .
‘If I reach level 300…’
Elfin Stone was obviously strong . It was around the same as Hell Gao when he had all his fire stones . In particular, the ability to erase skills was the best . Grid’s insight showed him the worst situation . But what if he achieved level 300 and his stats were awakened to the third level?
‘It will be possible to read when he appears and counterattack . ’
If he could fight back with Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Revolve, he could cause fatal damage to him . He would be able to hold on for five minutes while his colleagues’ combat power was reduced .
‘Then the chances of this raid succeeding will dramatically increase . ’
But Grid was only level 296 . Since entering here, he had gained a lot of experience and could reach level 297 . However, reaching level 300 wasn’t possible in a day or two . It was only possible if he drank an experience potion and swept away all the vampires in the city .
“Dammit . ”
Elfin Stone said he would come back later . It might be in five minutes, or maybe ten minutes . Grid had no time . The conclusion .
‘This expedition will fail . ’
Grid’s expression darkened . There were 15 vampire cities to clear, but he was already stuck at the first one . It was frustrating .
“Dammit! The quest difficulty is too high!”
Grid was furious at the thought of losing 15 pavranium . The Overgeared members also looked desperate . They all realized that the expedition was likely to fail, so they couldn’t comfort Grid . But Jishuka was different .
Prior to Satisfy opening, she was one of the best players in the MMORPG ‘L . T . S . ’ so she came up with an analysis that gave hope to Grid .
“The time it takes for Elfin Stone to reappear might be longer than we think . I don’t think the cooldown will be short when looking at the power of this skill . ”
The monster’s rhythm usually followed the skill reuse time . Just like the Fusers of Skeleton Island . They appeared after exactly seven minutes, spat acid and ran away .
“If the period before he returns is long, there’s hope for us . Let’s raise Grid to level 300 . ”
“How?”
“Run away and give the experience to Grid . Given the amount of experience these monsters give, Grid can achieve level 300 in at least a week . ”
“Once Grid reaches level 300, there is a higher chance to defeat Elfin Stone . But how should we deal with Elfin Stone who keeps appearing?”
“We can only hold out against his skill as long as possible . The first few times won’t be possible, so we will have to sacrifice ourselves . We might find a way to handle it eventually . ”
There was no method other than the one Jishuka proposed . All the members agreed to the Grid-building project . Grid felt ashamed .
“I’m sorry for putting you at risk due to my personal quest . ”
“If you are sorry, work hard . Please try and reach level 300 . ”
He would surely do so . Grid nodded and opened the Reputation Store .
‘I need to save even one of these people . ’
He needed to reach level 300 as soon as possible . Thus, he needed the experience potion .
‘This time I will draw it!’
Grid stood in front of the ‘Draw! Draw! Draw Everything!’ machine . He had 28,013 reputation . One try consumed 999 reputation, so he had a total of 28 attempts .
‘I should at least get one out of 28 attempts . I will certainly do it . It is strange if I don’t get one . ’
Rattle .
Grid pulled the machine . The result…
[This! You have failed! Unfortunately, please look for the next opportunity . ]
[This! You have failed! Unfortunately, please look for the next opportunity . ]
“Crazy!”
Two successive failures! Grid’s heart sank . If possible, he wanted to return to the time before he started drawing items . His reputation vanished for nothing . However, reality was cold and temptation was terrible . He couldn’t turn back time or stop the drawing .
Draw! In the past, it was the worst gambling system that plagued many gamers’ wallets and bloated the game producers . Now it was causing great pain to Grid .
“Shit! Yes! Let’s try it!”
In the end, Grid cursed and started the machine again .
[Congratulations! The best chocolate has been acquired . ]
[This! You have failed! Unfortunately, please look for the next opportunity . ]
[Congratulations! Block Toys to Help a Child’s Development has been acquired . ]
[This! You have failed! Unfortunately, please look for the next opportunity . ]
[This! You have failed! Unfortunately, please look for the next opportunity . ]
Ah! Why were the odds so low the more he drew? Grid’s nervousness reached its peak as his reputation dropped below 10,000 .
His head hurt and he was dizzy . He wanted to stop now, but his hand was turning the machine continuously . He wanted to get his money’s worth somehow . His remaining reputation dropped to 6,000 .
[Congratulations! An Experience Increase Potion has been acquired . ]
[Experience Increase Potion]
Increases experience gained by 20% for the next three days .
Weight: 0 . 1
“F-finally…!”
He was happy . He was happy, so why was his chest so sore? He felt like a loser because most of the reputation he earned over the past year was gone .
“Sigh… At least it appeared . ”
Grid disciplined his mind and pulled Malacus’ Cloak out of the inventory . It was the moment when the cloak, which easily attracted monsters because of the bloody smell, was revealed after a long time . Grid passed it to Vantner .
“Put it on . ”
“Uh…”
What could be done to speed up Grid’s experience gain? Vantner’s vision darkened as he was discussing it with the group .
