Overgeared - Chapter 499

Chapter 499

Grid ignored the uncooperative Braham and thought about it, coming to his own conclusion .

"I think it’s good . ”

The probability of true blood vampires emerging was very low .  1~2 true blood vampires would appear for every 200~300 vampires . In other words, most of Grid’s experience came from hunting normal vampires .

‘A 10% drop in an ordinary vampire’s stats will result in faster hunting and levelling up . ’

Thus, the Qualification of a Blood King title was good .  Of course, the 10% increase in the stats of a true blood vampire was a big burden . Strong enemies were going to become stronger .

‘Right now, I have Mjolnir and my sister with me . ’

He was close to unbeatable in the vampire cities . He didn’t need to worry about the increase in power for the true blood vampires .

‘The story will change if I meet a true blood vampire above an earl . ’

However, it was extremely rare that simple true blood vampires, who weren’t direct descendants, would gain such a high title . Grid shook off his anxiety and confirmed the information of the newly updated Rune of Darkness .

[Rune of Darkness]

Bound Item .

It is permanently preserved in your inventory . Trading, dropping, or destroying it is impossible .

-Usage Effect: Demonic power state will rise in exchange for its use .

* Normal attacks and skill attacks will deal an addition 20% dark damage .

Unique Lasting Effect: When dealing with named demonkin and demons, you can absorb unique attributes .

* Tiramet’s Power: If your health drops below 10%, health will be restored to 30% in an instant . Cooldown Time: 12 hours .

* Latina’s Power: The ‘Can you Become the King of the Dead?’ skill is generated .

“What?” Grid frowned . "What is with the questionable skill name?”

Looking at the name, it had the smell of a B-grade skill .

"No . The skill that I obtained can’t be B-grade . ”

It was the skill obtained by defeating a direct descendant .  It would certainly be a noble ability . Grid suppressed his doubts and increased his anticipation as he confirmed the details of the skill .

[Can you Become the King of the Dead?]

You can summon to ‘Growth-type Skeletons’ that will gain five stat points every time the level is raised .

The skeletons will start off at level 1 .

The skeletons’ basic stats are 3 strength, 3 stamina, 3 agility and 1 intelligence .

Skill Mana Cost: 3,000

Skills Duration: Until the summoning is release or the skeletons are destroyed .

Skill Cooldown Time: None .

“Ah, shit . ”

A skill to summon level 1 skeletons? There wasn’t even a skill level . It was just this feature .

"Complete garbage . The mana consumed is also ridiculous . ”

Generally, the stats of a pet were affected by the summoning skill and the summoner’s stats .  Let’s look at a necromancer who summoned skeletons for example .  The necromancer’s basic skills included ‘Summon Skeleton’ and ‘Skeleton Enhancement,’ and their unique stat was ‘Domination . ’ The higher the level of the skills and this stat, the stronger the skeletons that the necromancer summoned .  It meant that necromancers didn’t need to raise skeletons directly from level 1 .  

However, this damn Can you Become the King of the Dead? skill forced him to raise the skeletons directly .

“There was a garbage skill like this?”

The name indicated that the skeletons could grow .  They were likely to develop into very high level skeletons .  But they were still skeletons .  Slow, dull, and weak . In addition, they only gained 5 stat points per level . The default stats were also trash!

“Sigh . . . I would like to have the skill to summon a death knight . ”

Why should he suffer in order to raise the skeletons? Furthermore, if he wanted to raise the skeletons, he needed to move to a novice training ground, which was a waste of time .

"I'm going to abandon this skill . "

Grid used the Legendary Blacksmith’s Appraisal skill on another item .

Ttiring~

[The blacksmith who became a legend can appraise items with an excellent discerning eye . If a hidden feature exists in the target item, it will be found . ]

[You have discovered a hidden feature in the item!]

[Latina’s Necklace]

Rating: Epic (Growth)

* Intelligence +300

The favorite necklace of Latina, one of Beriache’s direct line .

It has the effect of raising the stats of undead pets by 20% .

* If this necklace grows to a legendary rating, the wearer can summon Vampire Viscount Latina .

User Restriction: Level 320 or higher .

Weight: 10

“I’m going crazy . ”

Wasn’t this a necklace for necromancers?

“Why are there only useless items?”

Grid knew that he could get tens of billions of won if he placed this on the auction site .  However, he couldn’t sell this item .  In particular, what if it landed in the hands of Agnus? It would be the worst . There was no need to invite danger .

‘I should use it myself instead of selling it . ’

The performance of the necklace itself was quite decent . It increased intelligence by 300 .  

‘The amount of mana to use Braham’s magic will increase . It will be useful in many ways . ’

It was only an epic rating . The necklace was likely to give +1,000 intelligence once it reached the legendary rating .

‘Yes . . . I will use it . I can also strengthen the skeletons . ’

He felt like he was branching out more and more, but why turn a blind eye to a means to get stronger? Grid decided to test out the Can you Become the King of the Dead? skill . It was to accurately grasp the state of the skeletons .

“Summon Skeletons!”

[The Ring of Absurdity has reduced resource consumption by 50% . 1,500 mana has been consumed . ]

Clack!

Clack clack clack clack!

The moment the summoning skill was used .  Two skeletons emerged from beside Grid, shaking from side to side . Their bones hit each other and the sound steadily became louder, causing Grid to be irritated .

"You’re noisy . ”

The skeletons were truly sloppy .  It started from their appearance . The color was yellowish and their skulls were partly cracked . It was likely that the bones didn’t have any strength .

"You should drink a lot of milk . . . Tsk tsk . ”

Clack clack! Clack!

Their owner spoke harsh words from the first meeting, but the skeletons raised their jaws as if they liked whatever Grid said .

‘Ah, the skeletons have no intelligence . ’

Undead monsters had no feelings and thoughts .  They needed to be at least a death knight or lich for cognition to occur .

"You won’t be able to understand my words for the rest of your lives . . . ”

Grid checked their status window .

[Skeleton (1)]

Lv . 1

Health: 45/45    Mana: 3

Strength: 3

Stamina: 3

Agility: 3

Intelligence: 1

Items Worn: None

Skills Possessed: None

"Wow, this is like daylight robbery . ”

The skeletons summoned by a typical necromancer had old longswords by default . Grid’s skeletons were completely bare .

"I have to give you weapons as well?” 

No, wait?

'What if I make items that are suitable for them to wear?’

Perhaps the overgeared skeletons would be born?

“Wow . . . ”

Maybe they would be quite useful .

‘If I add the effect of Latina’s Necklace . . . ’

Skeleton generals or death knights might be a dream, but he could likely raise them to be skeleton warriors .  Grid had this thought and looked at the skeletons affectionately .

“You will be Overgeared Skeleton One . You will be Overgeared Skeleton Two . ”

Clack clack!  

 Clack!

The skeletons nodded .

‘Are they happy about the good name?’

Of course, that wasn’t possible . The skulls had no emotions or thoughts .

“Oppa?”

Sehee and Yerim approached Grid, who was looking at the skeletons . They gave Grid the blessed enhancement stones and showed interest in the skeletons .

“They’re your skeletons?”

"The skeletons are cute! Don’t the eye sockets look like half-moons? Is this called glaring eyes? Lovely~”

“This is a dirty impression, not nice . . . Eh? What happened?”

Grid was shocked when he saw Sehee’s staff . The Wooden Staff that he put a lot of effort into enhancing to +9 had lost its light .

“Why isn’t there a light?”

A +9 enhanced weapon scattered beautiful white light . Sehee’s staff had no light around it . It was like it wasn’t enhanced .

‘Don’t tell me . . . ’

Sehee gave the worst news to Grid .

“I failed in the enhancement . ”

" . . . ”

“Two weeks ago, it fell to +7 . Then I tried the blessed enhancement stone that Oppa gave me before and it fell to +6 . Isn’t enhancement really hard?”

" . . . ”

***

Grid’s group left the 8th city and took a moment’s rest in the desert .  It was to decide the next schedule . Grid wanted to go straight to the 6th city, but . . .

“I’m going to sleep now since I have school tomorrow . ”

“It’s already 2 a . m . Ohh, I have to sleep at 10 p . m . in order for my breasts to grow . . . ”

“Go . And thank you for today . ”

“See you tomorrow!”

" . . . ”

The girls logged out, leaving Grid alone . It felt strange as the bustling atmosphere immediately quieted down .

"It’s because the cute kids have left . ”

Should he sleep early today? Grid’s expression became sneaky as he thought about the last item Latina dropped .

[Direct Vampire’s Pajamas]

Rating: Legendary

A short, white nightgown .

The skin will shine through when wearing it . Be careful when wearing it .

Conditions of Use: None .

Weight: 30

“Huhuhut . ”

The Direct Vampire’s Pajamas .  There was no way of knowing its performance . But one thing was for sure, the design of Latina’s pajamas was very sexy .

‘It will suit Irene!’

The underwear . . .  It seemed he would be able to give her 10 more babies .

Then a whisper flew to the chuckling Grid . It was from Lauel .

-Grid, I have finished the arrangements with the broadcasting station and decided the schedule .

-OGC and Bunny Bunny? Did they approach first as you expected?

-Huhut, indeed .  Well, there’s no need to admire my brilliance .  It wasn’t much for a day or two of work .

-Uh . . .  Yes, how is the contract information?

-Yura did her job very well .  Check it later .

-I understand .  Brief me about tomorrow’s shooting schedule and future plans .

-The plan hasn’t changed .  Your hunt will be broadcast live all over the world . While people’s attention is focused on you, the Overgeared Guild will go to Patrian .  

-Is it really okay? Patrian has Great Magician Ashur .

Satisfy raised the level of NPCs in accordance to the average level of the users . It was highly likely that Earl Ashur now had his fourth advancement . He would be incomparably stronger, making Grid worried about whether the Overgeared members could handle him .

Lauel calmed him down .

-I have a way .  Don’t worry about it and enjoy your playing .
