Overgeared - Chapter 517

Chapter 517

“Magic Detection . ”

Magic Detection (Enhanced) Lv . 2 had a casting time of 5 seconds and a cooldown time of 8 minutes . It was significantly shortened compared to the Lv . 1 Magic Detection .

“Magic Detection . ”

After leaving the north gate .

Grid used Magic Detection every time the cooldown was over on the way to the monster community . Thanks to the reduced skill cooldown time option attached to Braham’s Boots, Grid was able to use Magic Detection every 5 minutes and 30 seconds .

Why did he keep using Magic Detection? It was to increase the level of Magic Detection while preparing for any unknown danger .

“Magic Detection . ”

The East Continent was a suitable environment for raising the level of Magic Detection .  Originally, Magic Detection consumed 2,000 mana with every use, making it difficult to use often . However, the environment of the East Continent increased mana regeneration .  The Ring of Absurdity reduced the mana consumption by half, and then the East Continent increased the amount of mana regeneration . He predicted that it would be possible to use Magic Detection repeatedly during hunting .

"This ring is really too good . "

The Ring of Absurdity obtained from Black .  It was much more valuable than a bunch of equipment item .  By default, an accessory with a special option attached had low basic abilities . The Ring of Absurdity was an accessory at the peak of all accessories .  

‘It would be nice if I could also make accessories . . . ’

Of course, Grid could create simple ‘wearable’ accessories .  But what was the reason for the existence of accessories? It was to satisfy the sense of aesthetics and to give special options that couldn’t be implemented on equipment items .  The accessories that Grid made weren’t worthy because their completeness was poor, they had no options, and they weren’t pretty .  It was a waste of time, materials, and manpower to make them . Just like Idan’s cooking .

“Ugh . . . I still feel sick . It’s amazing that the poor chef’s restaurant is still surviving . ” 

He was sincerely curious about why it wasn’t ruined .

'It must not be bankrupt for a reason . Is there a special secret apart from the taste of the dishes?’

The road in the north hadn’t been maintained, since it was occupied with monsters .  Grid’s expression was serious as he moved along the dangerous road filled with weeds and cracks .  It was an unknown land where he didn’t have the basic information . Grid realized once again that it was an area where he wouldn’t receive any help .

‘I am ahead of them . ’

Grid always felt like he was lagging behind because he compared himself to Kraugel .  It felt like he was following the path that Kraugel pioneered . But looking at it objectively, Grid was a leader comparable to Kraugel .

‘Soon, I will be able to go ahead of Kraugel . ’

The present Grid was much stronger and more versatile than the Kraugel who visited the East Continent . Grid was confident that he could get ahead of Kraugel, giving him a high pride .

‘The rankers that I spend a year looking at from a distance . . . ’

Now he was heading for the top . Those who he felt envy and longing towards were now mostly under him .

‘This game is truly rewarding!’

Every human had the natural desire to accomplish something, and the culture that now dominated the world was Satisfy .  Being the best here meant being the best in the world .  Grid trembled with excitement .  Come on! Grid felt like shouting in a loud voice .

The East Continent .  Grid felt a sense of liberation as he saw the place where there were only NPCs and no players .  It felt like falling onto a rich desert island! The game was much more enjoyable when Grid didn’t have to worry about his dignity as leader of Overgeared . He ran towards the pine forest in the distance with a loud laugh .  Hahaha! His laugh was like the crazy person who was present in every city .

‘But it’s amazing . ’

Grid was abruptly running around like a dog in heat .  Braham was amazed as he watched the pathetic Grid . Despite Grid acting like a fool, he still maintained the appropriate tension .

‘Being cautious even when his heart is excited?’

In other words, there was no gap .

‘There are many things that are lacking because he is still growing, but he already has the minimum requirements to be a legend . ’

Looking at the current Grid, someone might see a gap and try an attack .

‘They would die . ’

The moment Braham thought this .

Step .

The moment Grid entered the pine forest full of pine needles .

Kyaooooh!

A giant beast appeared and roared at Grid .  Yes, it was a beast .  Not a monster . It was a tiger that ran away from the monster community and hid in the forest .

"Die tiger, and leave behind your skin!”

Grid had picked up the tiger’s presence with Magic Detection (Enhanced) and had been waiting for it . He cut down the tiger without any hesitation and obtained its leather .

“It’s very quiet . Why isn’t there a single monster despite the monster community being beyond this forest?”

‘It isn’t accessible . Don’t use your demonic power here . ’

“Ah, is it because of this?”

Grid looked at the notification window that popped up the moment he entered the forest .

[This is a forest filled with a refreshing energy . Health and mana regeneration rate will increase by 20% . ]

"If I ever experience a dangerous situation when hunting in the monster community, I can escape here . ”

'It is a big step that you are capable of thinking similar to dogs or cats . It will be fine if you continue to develop steadily in the future . ’

Grid wasn’t offended by the rough words that Braham spoke .  He could feel the emotions from Braham’s soul and they weren’t negative emotions . Rather, they were full of liking . But Grid also had a nasty personality . He didn’t let it pass nicely .

"Tsk tsk, look at the way you are speaking . There’s a reason you were betrayed by your only friend . ”

‘ . . . ’

Braham was shocked .  He was betrayed and killed by his only friend, and now his current friend was teasing him, it was really very sad . However, the legendary great magician wasn’t easily shaken by words . He tried to remain calm .

‘H-He, friend . . . He . . . wasn’t . ’

" . . . ”

Grid heard the quivering in Braham’s voice and belatedly felt sorry .  He coughed with shame and quickly left the forest .  The pine forest was small so he could escape quickly .  Beyond the forest, the large community of monsters entered his eyes .  There were arched tents installed everywhere in the community .  There was approximately 500 of them . Assuming that there were two monsters per tent, that was at least 1,000 monsters .

"There are tents and living tools . Doesn’t it seem like the monsters living in this habitat are quite intelligent? Are they lizardmen type monsters?”

Grid consulted Braham’s opinion, but Braham was silent .  He was still in a numb, shocked state .  As a legendary great magician, he was originally very strong in spirit and his basic tendencies were cruel . But ironically, he was weak towards those he liked .

Grid clicked his tongue at Braham .  "How long will you stay like this? You’re not a kid . Aren’t you hundreds of years old?”

In fact, Grid didn’t have any friends except the Overgeared members .  His personality wasn’t good enough to make friends and he didn’t notice .  In other words, Grid and Braham were in a similar category . He stopped trying to make fun of Braham and quickly understood the characteristics of the monster community .

‘Is it a monster housing complex?’

The 500 tents in the community were separated by 50 meters each and each area was separated by each other by a low fence . Personal space seemed to be important to these monsters .

‘Looking at the tools, they are humanoid monsters, not lizardmen . They like living together . ’

A humanoid monster with high standards of living and strong independence .  What was it? Grid remained confused no matter how much he thought about it, and then he realized .

‘Yes, this is the East Continent . ’

It was futile to analyze this based on common sense and information from the West Continent .

‘I have to directly see and experience it myself . '

Sururuk .

Grid’s figure disappeared .  It was due to the Hooded Zip Up . He secretly moved towards the monster community and approached the nearest tent .

‘There are no signs?’

Was this really a monster community? Did he come to the wrong place? The community was too quiet . Every tent showed no signs of life .

‘Did they all leave?’

However, there would be traces if 1,000 monsters moved somewhere .

‘Don’t tell me . . . ’

Was it nap time? It was nonsense that 1,000 monsters would be napping at the same time . Grid suppressed this ridiculous thought and looked inside the tent .  Then he was startled .  A rat .  No, it was similar to a hamster . A big hamster couple was sleeping inside the tent .

‘The monster is cute?’

No, the cuteness was secondary . It seemed like a monster with the basic ‘hide’ passive . It was difficult to read the information even when looking at it .

‘Isn’t this a scam?’

The moment Grid was confused .

“Muong?”

Kung kung .  The hamster couple’s noses twitched and they got up . Then they looked around and pinpointed Grid’s exact location .

"Kyaak!"

The hamsters opened their mouths widely! The cute couple transformed into monsters in an instant .

“Kuk!”

Grid was stunned as he saw the hundreds of sharp teeth in the hamsters’ large mouths .  Hundreds of sawtooth-like teeth were deeply embedded in their mouths . It was so gruesome and unhygienic that it was creepy .

“Wow! Braham, do you see this? There is rotten food sandwiched between the teeth . . . Ugh!”

Grid frowned and blocked his nose .

Hamster .  To be precise, the monster called the ‘big poisonous rat’ gave off a horrible stench when it opened its mouth .  The stench was terrible enough to cause confusion and poisoning . He resisted thanks to the legendary status resistance passive, but the discomfort was significant .

“Human! Muong! Kill! Muong!”

The big poisonous rats became agitated by the intruder and started to wield their tridents .  Their cute appearance was nowhere to be seen . The black eyes had turned red and the front protruding teeth dripped black poisonous liquid that threatened Grid .

‘Fast!’

The attack speed of the big poisonous rats was equivalent to the true blood vampires . Sometimes their tails would accurately strike at Grid’s weak points .

Peeng!

The moment he was caught by the hamsters, Grid had switched from the Hooded Zip Up to Lantier’s Cloak .  The ground where he had just been standing was hit by the big poisonous rat’s trident and exploded .  The big poisonous rats caused players to become confused and poisoned just by opening their mouths, then used their quick and strong attacks to kill the player .  They were similar to the ‘senior monsters’ on the West Continent .

Then Grid? He felt excited instead of panicked . He already expected the monsters of the East Continent to be strong . The stronger they were, the more experience they would give .

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Kill!”

This was a somewhat large tent for a human . Grid used the footwork of his sword dance to evade and then linked the attack .

Chaaeng!

Kill accurately struck the hamster couple at the same time . A stunning notification window popped up in front of Grid as he killed them instantly .

[You have defeated a big poisonous rat . ]

[35,970,411 experience has been acquired . ]

“Kek . ”

It was huge . It was far beyond his expectations .
