Overgeared - Chapter 309

Chapter 309
Chapter 309



“The Violet Guild is famous for their excellent raid skills . A month ago, they raided the Rotten Horned Rayon . They couldn’t compete with Tallos’ strength, but you succeeded with just Magic Missile and Fireball . Please give us an explanation . ”

The questions of the excited reporters continued . Grid was troubled because some of the questions were are sharp as knives .

‘Rumors might spread that I am a bugged user, or that the S . A . Group is supporting me from the rear . ’

Based on the experience he gained, Tallos was far more powerful than Pascal . It was impossible for a user to kill him alone, especially with just basic magic . Grid was troubled by the suspicious reporters .

“I don’t think you understand me . ”

Braham borrowed Grid’s mouth and started to chatter .

“I am a legend . I am omnipotent . Trivial beings like you can never imagine, let alone understand me . It is normal . ”

“Wow . ”

The reporters were shocked . At this moment, Grid was beyond arrogance…

‘Chuunibyou!’

He was calling himself omnipotent with a serious expression? It was also in front of dozens of cameras! Grid wanted to curl his hands in shame .

‘How embarrassing . ’

Grid used to be a chuunibyou . But at the age of 27, Grid met the chuunibyou Lauel and was able to overcome it . Therefore, the 28 year old Grid had a stigma towards being called a chuunibyou .

‘Braham, please act more moderately for me!’

He was thankful for gaining a level, but that was it . He didn’t know how to get rid of the mess that Braham had entangled him in . As Grid was feeling troubled, Braham used Teleport and left the reporters behind .

“13 minutes ago in real time, the guild master of Overgeared, Grid, destroyed the First Servant of Yatan with Magic Missiles and Fireball . ”

“Tallos, Yatan’s First Servant, is a fourth advancement black magician, and even Violet’s group failed in the raid . Grid killed him with basic magic, so his strength is beyond common sense…”

“People all over the world are raising suspicions that Grid is a bugged player . The S . A . Group has issued an official position that this isn’t the case . However, the suspicions of users isn’t fading . There’s a conspiracy theory that there is some type of deal between Grid and the S . A . Group . ”

The international media covered the Grid incident . Of course, the public opinion wasn’t good . Most people were suspicious of Grid’s overwhelming strength . There was a lot of speculation on SNS .

Then the experts from various fields stabilized public opinion .



“Grid is likely doing a story-driven quest . ”

“Story-driven quest? Ah, you are talking about the ‘Bring Chocolate to the Mother Wolf’ type of quest?

“Correct . A typical quest that occurs only when the user meets certain conditions . A story-driven quest is often to ‘experience something . ’ A typical example is ‘Bring Chocolate to the Mother Wolf’ quest that most of us would’ve experienced in the early days . ”

Bring chocolate to the mother wolf . It was a quest acquired at level 8 . The user who accepted the quest wouldn’t be able to control their body, as they turned into a young wolf and brought chocolate to the mother wolf . The user’s role was just to observe the story of the wolf and appreciate it .

“Grid’s appearance and tone are different from usual . The fact that he also easily handled a named boss is proof that it isn’t Grid . It is likely that he is experiencing something very special . ”

“That’s right . However, who is that special being?”

South Korea, the United States, France, Canada, Russia, China, Japan and so on . The international experts came up with a common thought .

“Braham Eshwald . ”

“The legendary great magician . ”

After that, the portal sites around the world became dominated by articles about Grid .

[The legendary blacksmith, Grid! He is experiencing what is it like to be a legendary great magician!]

[Is a great magician the second class that Grid will acquire?]

[The arrogance of a talented and handsome man is charming? Women all over the world are raving over the white haired Grid!]

[Grid’s arrogant way of talking is trending on SNS… It’s likely to become a social problem . ]

[The popularity of Grid in Japan, the origin of chuunibyou, is huge! Is this the advent of the 5th Korean wave?]

[The number of Grid’s fan club members have doubled in 3 hours… The advertisements are soaring . ]

‘It would’ve become a mess by now . ’

Grid sighed . He was afraid of the aftermath of Braham’s words .

‘I saw the reporters’ faces . Their reactions were disgust . ’

He could easily imagine how they would write the articles . Grid chuunibyou, Grid is arrogant, Grid is bugged, Grid is crazy, and so on . All types of malicious articles would spread on the Internet, and he would gain millions of anti-fans .

‘I am probably taking over the real time search words…’



He was afraid to log out . Knowing his bad luck, he might be chased around the streets .

‘Should I hire bodyguards?’

How long would his suffering last? Grid had no idea of the actual situation and was feeling frustration, while Braham scoffed as he moved through the Ludhadan Cave .

‘Amoract, you are as careful as Mother said . ’

The level of the veil placed over the cave was considerable .

‘But it isn’t at a level to mislead me . ’

Grid asked as Braham moved deeper into the cave without hesitation .

“By the way, who is Amoract?”

Why did he need to hide himself behind a representative? Braham’s answer was simple and concise .

“The great demon of conflict . ”

“Great demon…! The First Servant of Yatan is a great demon?”

Grid was completely shocked by the unexpected answer .

“Surely you don’t mean to fight a great demon right now?”

“The Amoract here isn’t in a perfect state . It’s just a part of Amoract’s soul, so there’s no need to feel scared . A soul fragment is helpless against me . ”

A great demon wasn’t his opponent . It was like he was declaring that a great demon wasn’t tough .



***

The deepest part of the dark cave . There was a white soul floating above an altar in the center of a large space .

[You came . ]

The soul greeted Braham . The response was as if it had been waiting for Braham . Braham borrowed Grid’s mouth and said .

“Amoract, you were aware that I would look for you . ”

[Of course . I know you need the blessing of the gods to get rid of your mortality . ]

“If my guess is correct, you’re going to listen to my demands?”

[That’s right . ]

“Kukukuk, Marie Rose must be pretty annoying to Yatan . ”

‘Marie Rose?’

It was a familiar name to Grid . A vampire duke who showed absolute dignity . A chill went down Grid’s spine as he recalled her existence .

‘If she’s somewhere in the vampire cities…’

It would’ve been impossible to obtain all the pavranium . It was fortunate that he accepted Braham’s soul to complete the quest .

[God Yatan favors you, regardless of Marie Rose . Always remember this . ]

“He isn’t a god . ”

[…Be careful with your mouth . ]

Amoract’s sweet voice hardened . It was a level of intimidation that made Grid’s chest tighten . However, Braham wasn’t agitated at all .

“Shouldn’t you step foot on this land before trying to intimidate me?”

[It isn’t about intimidation, but manners . ]

“I won’t show courtesy to Yatan . I don’t serve him anymore . ”

‘Anymore?’

Did this mean Braham once served Yatan? Grid had doubts, but it wasn’t a question that could be resolved at this time . Braham ordered Grid .

“Take out the pavranium . ”



[You have temporarily gained control of your body . ]



The notification window popped up and Grid regained his freedom .

‘Now I got a little taste . ’

It wasn’t pleasant to give up control of his body to others . Grid felt peace of mind as he summoned Lifael’s Spear . Then Braham commanded Amoract .

“Now give it Yatan’s blessing . ”

[I don’t like it but… Okay . This is the will of God Yatan . ]

Amoract’s white soul grew bigger and bigger . Then after a short period of time, a dark beam fell from the ceiling .

Chaaeng!

Lifae’s Spear was struck by the dark light and shook . Then the notification windows were updated .



[God Yatan’s blessing has fallen on the pavranium . ]

[Pavranium has gained the ability to increase magic power . ]



Goddess Rebecca’s blessing boosted recovery speed, God Dominion’s blessing increased attack power and God Judar’s blessing increased defense . These blessings were always applied to Grid, who was the owner of the pavranium .

Grid had been expecting a lot from God Yatan’s blessing . However, the magic power buff was disappointing . Magic power wasn’t very important since Grid couldn’t just magic .

‘No, no . ’

Given that he would learn one spell from Braham, it wasn’t so bad that his magic power increased . Grid thought about it positively, while Braham was feeling thrilled . Their souls were assimilated so Grid could feel his intense joy .

“Finally…! The time has finally come!”

The resurrection that he had been desiring for hundreds of years . The excited Braham shouted .

“Now Pagma’s Descendant! Make the Vessel of the Soul!”

“Okay . ”

Braham’s dubious elements weren’t important to Grid right now . Grid just wanted the enormous rewards from Braham .

Ttang! Ttang!

Grid stripped a small amount of pavranium from Lifael’s Spear and made a small bowl . It was a bowl that seemed somewhat rough, but the craftsmanship of the maker could be seen .

“Kukukuk! Kuahahaha!”

Braham’s soul left Grid’s body and moved to the Vessel of the Soul .
