Chapter 318



As soon as the blue greatsword and hand plow collided, Piaro’s eyes widened .

‘Heavy!’

Grid’s swordsmanship was rough . It wasn’t outstanding . However, his high strength and agility wrecked considerable havoc .

‘How far has he come?’

Piaro had experience teaching Grid . He knew more than anyone that Grid was dull-witted . Even though he inherited the legendary skills, Piaro was confident that a rapid growth wasn’t possible for Grid .

But he was mistaken . Grid’s growth rate was comparable to the geniuses that Piaro recognized, Regas and Ibellin .

‘Now!’

The synergy between the Slaughterer’s Eye Patch and his high insight exploded . As Piaro was feeling confused, Grid’s eye flashed red and he shook the hand plow off Failure . At this point, Grid’s greatsword moved horizontally .

Chaaeng!

“Uh…!”

Piaro groaned . A powerful shock was delivered despite the defense of the plow . Blacksmith’s Rage and the buff on the pavranium meant that Grid’s attack power currently surpassed Chris . In particular, Grid’s high agility gave him wings .

Chaaeng! Jjang! Jjejeong!

In the time it took Chris to attack twice, Grid had attacked three times . Piaro was very surprised . It was surprising since Grid was predicted to be below Chris’ level . But this surprise didn’t last long .

Grid had one lacking point . It was his understanding of swordsmanship . Chris executed a trajectory that forced the enemy’s movement to slow, while Grid was just fast .

First, defend and then pierce through the gap . Piaro turned to the left, aiming his hand plow at Grid’s left shoulder . It was an attack that precisely aimed for the weak point, but something unexpected happened .

A golden blade flew and guarded Grid . Piaro blocked the attack and was amazed .

‘Indeed!’

A legendary blacksmith . Grid made up for his lack of swordsmanship with tools . However, didn’t the golden blade stiffen from one strike? Piaro didn’t consider the pavranium to be a variable . This was a natural judgment . It was too early to express this as carelessness .

But who was Grid? Once again, he was a legendary blacksmith . He transcended predictions with his items .

Peeng!

“Heok?”

Piaro had been the strongest ever since he became a great swordsman . He was considered invincible and rarely experienced a fright . The golden blade went stiff after protecting Grid’s shoulder . Then it launched Magic Missile!

“Ugh!”

It was a completely unexpected type of attack . He never imagined that magic would come from the blade . Then Grid leapt forward through that gap .

Chaaeng!

Once the attack was blocked, he took advantage of the rebound and swung Grid’s Greatsword . It was an exciting linked combo .



Puok!

“…!”

Blood dripped down Piaro’s chest . However, the damage didn’t seem to be great and there was no shaking in his posture . Grid knew how robust he was and linked the attacks without hesitation .

Slashing and a descending cut . Landing and then a horizontal slash . The subsequent counterattack was defended by Failure and then countered with Grid’s Greatsword . He succeeded in a total of five attacks with Grid’s Greatsword . Then the option of Grid’s Greatsword was activated, making the fifth attack a critical attack .



[Critical!]

[You have dealt 22,900 damage to the target . ]



‘Ridiculously durable . ’

The person wounded was Piaro, but Grid was the one who felt surprised . It was because Piaro’s defensive power exceeded Elfin Stone’s, despite him only wearing simple clothes . His health must be at least 300,000 .

Piaro was a legendary farmer, so he now had significantly higher stats than when he was a great swordsman . In addition, he raised his level through continuous training . Piaro’s current level was 405, which was 38 levels higher than when Grid observed him with the Great Lord’s Sword .

Grid was only level 301, so his attacks couldn’t deal proper damage . This was a judgment based on level that the system decided by default .

Piaro expressed his respect .

“I am proud of you . ”

Had he been working hard since the day he struggled with Pagma’s doppelganger?

“I have to salute My Lord, who has done your best despite your lack of talent . ”



[Piaro’s loyalty has soared to the peak . ]

[The absolute trust in his lord has increased Piaro’s willingness and opened up his potential . Piaro’s stats will permanently increase by 10% . ]



“Heok . ”

Grid would normally be glad about the notification windows . But now was an exception .

“W-Wait a minute!”

Piaro should become stronger after the battle! He didn’t have time to put that thought in his mouth .

“Free Farming 1st Style, Sowing . ”

Pa pa pa pat!

Piaro sprinkled dozens of seeds .



The pavranium responded because it was aimed at Grid .

Out of the 27 pavranium, four of the pavranium turned into blades had been mixed with the Water Clan King’s Tears . The remaining 23 were the basic form, showing a weak defense . They couldn’t fully defend against all the seeds sowed around Grid and stiffened .



[You have suffered 9,320 damage . ]



“This damn thing!”

Grid was hit by a rice seed that penetrated through the stiff pavranium and screamed . In the past, a low level user in Patrian was hit by a bone and died . Now Grid was in the same position .

“Free Farming 2nd Style, Rapid Growth . ”

Kwaduk! Kudududuk!

After hitting the pavranium or Grid, the seeds on the floor started growing rapidly .

‘What is this?’

Grid freaked out as he saw the rice growing .

“This is a power that only a legendary farmer can exert . ”

Piaro’s will was firm . As a legendary farmer, he wasn’t incompetent . So he wanted to be acknowledged . But Grid couldn’t accept it . No matter how strong a legendary farmer, he couldn’t get rid of the idea that a sword saint was better .

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Link!”

A sword dance was quickly unfolded .

Pit! Pipipipipit!

Dozens of attacks flew out and scattered the rice plants . Grid and Piaro’s eyes met .

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship…!”

“Free Farming!”

Kuooooh!

The air around Grid sank heavily . The intense aura around Grid was concentrated at the end of the greatsword, making the target feel an extreme threat . It was the manifestation of Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Kill .

Piaro’s skill was even more amazing .

“6th Style! Flailing!”

The plow was replaced by a flail . It ruthlessly struck Grid’s Greatsword that was aiming for his chest .

Pepeok! Bam bam bam!

“Heok?”

Grid was surprised . It was because the energy of Kill was unable to bear the power of the flail and dissipated .

‘This is crazy!’

Flailing! One of his strongest skills was disabled by a farming technique . The thing that made him even more irate was that the old flail Piaro was using was a rare rated farming tool that Grid made a few months ago . In contrast, his weapon was legendary rated!

‘Shit!’

It felt like he was grain hit by a flail . Piaro’s skill wasn’t just strong . It also had a tendency to break the enemy’s self-esteem . It was very powerful .

‘He might be a farmer, but a legend is a legend . This is pretty amazi… No, no . ’

He couldn’t acknowledge Piaro as a farmer . Piaro should only be a sword saint . Grid barely recovered from his confusion and gave orders to four pavranium blades that contained Magic Missile .

‘Shoot from all directions!’

The pavranium only followed Grid’s will . They immediately reacted by surrounding Piaro and firing Magic Missile all at once .

‘This basic magic isn’t a threat to me!’

Piaro was caught off guard before, but not now .

Piaro demonstrated the hidden technique of Free Farming, ‘Natural State . ’ Then the earth, air, trees and everything in nature gave him strength, causing his stats to rise dramatically . It was natural that his magic resistance would also increase .

But it was useless .

Pepepepeng!

“Cough!”

The Magic Missile (Enhanced) Grid received from Braham completely ignored the target’s magic resistance . Despite the use of Natural State, Piaro suffered a lot of damage .

‘What is with the strength of this magic?’

Piaro had fought with Earl Ashur, one of the 10 great magicians of the continent . But Earl Ashur didn’t have magic that was this fast and powerful .

‘The magic of an artifact transcends that of a great magician…!’

His lord was truly great . Piaro felt sincere respect .

On the other hand, Grid was cursing .

‘Dammit . ’

He was able to add magic to pavranium thanks to the Water Clan King’s Tears sent by Euphemina, but there was a problem . In order to deploy the Magic Missile attributed to the pavranium, Grid’s mana was consumed .

Malacus’ Cloak and the Black Quartz Earrings increased Grid’s intelligence, giving him mana close to 16,000 . The mana cost of the legendary skills was very high, so it was too much to use both Pagma’s Swordsmanship and Magic Missile (Enhanced) .

But in this situation, Piaro became even stronger .

‘Natural State…’

It amplified his stats, like Braham’s Magic Drain . It was an excellent legendary buff skill .

‘On the other hand, my Blacksmith’s Rage…’

Blacksmith’s Rage was based on sympathizing with blacksmiths! It couldn’t be denied that it was a great buff that increased attack damage and attack speed, but the disadvantage was that the duration was too short . The skill at level 5 only lasted for 35 seconds . Piaro’s Natural State and Braham’s Magic Drain were undeniably better .

Pepeok! Bam bam bam!

“Ugh!”

Would Blacksmith’s Rage one day be reborn to match a legendary skill? Grid’s thinking was broken by Piaro’s flail . Grid tried to defend, but it was difficult . The flail was light, its attack speed was fast and its trajectory was irregular .

‘This is a joke…!’

Piaro was very fast after using Natural State . He avoided all the Magic Missiles fired by the pavranium again . Grid was distressed about the one-sided beating .

‘If only I had two more hands…!’

He would be able to resist Piaro’s flail and also reverse the situation by using Item Combination .

‘Ah?’

Grid was struck with an epiphany .

‘Yes, hands!’

The hands of a legendary blacksmith! What if he could reproduce these great hands with the pavranium? Just imagine it! The legendary blacksmith hands that moved according to his command .

During combat, he could use multiple items, maximizing the power of his items . In addition, they could be his substitute for the long activation time of Item Combination .

‘I can make several items at the same time, so the efficiency of my work will increase!’

…Irene would also be pleased .

Grid smiled with satisfaction and called out .

“Time! Wait! Stop! I said stop!”

“…?”

Not admitting defeat in a battle, just stopping? Piaro stopped moving his flail . It was truly great loyalty . Grid shouted to him .

“Let’s fight again tomorrow!”

Grid was too careless today . Even if Piaro was a farmer, he was still a legend . Tomorrow, if Grid lost again despite his full preparations…

‘At that time, I will respect your choice . ’

Grid’s eyes were filled with confidence . The reason why he felt confident despite not reducing Piaro’s health by one-tenth today was because he had absolute faith . He had faith in his items .

At this moment, a legend of the new era started to evolve . He was in the process of catching up to the legends of the previous generation and overcoming them .
