Chapter 539

Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Wave, had the lowest attack power among all the techniques .  The level 6 Wave only dealt 230% of his attack power . It was a little over double his flat damage .  It was incredibly low for a legendary rated skill .  It was occasionally a powerful skill considering it was a ‘wide area’ attack . However, this lost its utility after the skills of the third advancement classes were released .

But it still had unique strengths .  All targets hit by it would be affected by a slowing effect .  In other words, it was a wide area CC skill, and it was natural for the attack power to be low . This was if the user was an ordinary player .

“Wave . ”

The white light that was emitted only by a +9 enhanced weapon .  A powerful light wave of energy was shot from Failure . The bodies of the armored needles chasing after the Red Phoenix members were damaged .

Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa! Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa!

The explosion shook the dungeon . Blood spurted from the armored needles while parts of the dungeon failed to survive the aftermath of the shock .

[You have dealt 15,310 damage to the target . The target’s speed will decrease by 63% . ]

[You have dealt 16,004 damage to the target . The target’s . . . ]

[You have dealt . . . ]

. . .

. . .

“Y-You . . . ?”

Sua stared at Grid with a stunned expression .  A blacksmith using swordsmanship? It was also extremely strong swordsmanship!

“What is your identity?”

Sua was confused .  Grid placed extra strength in the arm wrapped around her waist .  It was to protect her from the blood that was like lava that came from the armored needles .  But it wasn’t easy . It was impossible to avoid all the blood with Grid’s control abilities .

'The blood dissolves anything it touches . ’

It was impossible for a person to be safe . In the end, Grid called for the best assistance .

“God Hands!”

Pa pa pa pat!

Four golden hands appeared immediately in response to Grid’s call and moved quickly . They protected Sua and Grid as much as possible from the blood .

Chiiiik!

The God Hands burned fiercely when touched by the armored needles’ blood .  Sua’s surprise became larger .

‘They are fine despite being hit by the armored needles’ blood and can move by themselves?’

The East Continent people had wide imaginations .  In the treasure houses of the various kingdoms, there were many things outside common sense .  Yes, like the golden hands currently summoned by Grid .  That’s right .  In Sua’s eyes, the God Hands looked like divine beings and Grid was a daoist, which was how he could use swordsmanship despite being a blacksmith . He was mysterious and overwhelming .  

On the other hand, Grid was relieved .

‘Thank god she is wearing armor . ’

Grid had hesitated when he was about to put an arm around Sua to protect her .  He was worried about what would happen if she experienced his hands .  Fortunately, Sua was wearing excellent armor .  No matter how dexterous Grid’s fingers, it was impossible to cause someone to feel pleasure by touching armor . Sua luckily didn’t feel Grid’s touch .

"Step back . ”

The armored needles were currently slowed . Grid handed Sua to the Red Phoenix members and urged them to move away .

“What is his real identity?”

“A blacksmith using swordsmanship . . . ”

"I heard he used the white phosphorus wood to restore the Red Phoenix Bow . Is he really a daoist?”

‘They don’t know Pagma’s name?’

White once mentioned a legendary blacksmith .  In addition, Pagma was a person presumed to be born on the East Continent . Grid thought that people on the East Continent would know Pagma . However, that didn’t seem to be the case .

‘Well, not everyone will know a legendary blacksmith . ’

It was likely that Pagma didn’t have as much reputation on the East Continent because he was more active on the West Continent .

‘My reputation here might transcend Pagma’s reputation . ’

His heart jumped at this thought .  An area that couldn’t be reached by others .  Grid felt joy at the opportunity to gain new achievements . Grid’s smile was distorted with greed as he questioned Sua and the Red Phoenix members .

"All of you are careless for a group who has been steadily exploring the dungeon . Are you originally like this? Or are you in bad shape today?”

Grid felt great disappointment in the Red Phoenix members .  Experiencing a crisis in their first engagement after entering the dungeon, it was absurd and pathetic . The armored needles were strong, but the skills of the Red Phoenix group wasn’t as much as he expected .

“That . . . ”

Grid's sarcastic tone .  It was enough to undermine their pride as those who dedicated their lives to defending Pangea .  But the Red Phoenix didn’t get offended . No, they couldn’t feel offended .  They weren’t qualified . They understood Grid’s tone .

“ . . . ”

Sua explained instead of the silent Red Phoenix members .

“Originally, the armored needles rarely travel together . We have been coming here for several years and this is the first time we’ve been attacked by five . ”

The basic tactic of the Red Phoenix group was to form a team of eight people .  Eight people were needed to hunt one armored needle, and the highest number that had appeared at one time was three .  It was unusual for five of the armored needles to appear at the same time .  The Red Phoenix members deserved praise for not instantly falling into confusion .

But the result? It was the worst . They would’ve surely been wiped out if it wasn’t for Grid .

“I don’t mean to imply that we are unlucky today . I am deeply embarrassed by our inability to thoroughly prepare for today’s situation . And . . . Thank you . ”

Grid didn’t respond to the bowing Sua . It was because of the conflict between the armored needles and the God Hands!

‘Already?’

Grid was confused .  Including the fused undead, there were a total of six armored needles . But still, what were the God Hands? He thought he could take advantage of the infinite stiffness and bind their feet for at least 20 seconds . But it failed to last even half of 20 seconds .

‘They can break Mjolnir’s offensive with their slow attacks?’ 

Grid realized when it he faced the fist of the gatekeeper, but the armored needles were strong .  The evidence was that they overpowered the God Hands .  The lead God Hand .  It held the Ultimate Enhanced Mjolnir and was the one with maximum power .  It had fought for ages, but was now bound by the silver thread . The remaining three God Hands were hurriedly avoiding the silver thread .

‘I have to go hard . ’

Grid categorized them as boss monsters and summoned Noe and Randy .

“Noe!”

“Nyang!”

There was a funny sound effect as Noe appeared and cried out .

“The best demonic beast of hell has emerged! Nyang!”

“Randy!”

“I will help . ”

Then Randy appeared and copied Grid’s appearance .

A talking cat . Two Grids .

The Red Phoenix members were astonished as they watched Grid .

‘Sacred creature!’

‘A clone!’

'Daoist! He is definitely a daoist!’

It was natural for the Red Phoenix members to think so .  Grid was too special . Grid didn’t care about what they were thinking and ordered Noe and Randy .

"Noe, take the stats of the fused armoured needle . Randy will use ranged skills to help me . Make a gap so that the God Hands can strike the armored needles . ”

"I understand! Nyang!”

“Yes . ”

Grid was convinced when he saw the armored needles break the God Hands’ infinite stiffness .  The Red Phoenix members weren’t weak . They were the elites of the elites .  It was just that the armored needles were too strong . Thus, it would be a challenge of strength . There was no room to hold back his strength .

“Linked Kill Wave . ”

The armored needles were undead monsters .  Their intelligence was significantly low .  They moved without thinking and conflicted with each other when moving along the relatively narrow passage . It was impossible for them to avoid Grid’s Linked Kill Wave in this passage .

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

Linked Kill Wave boasted damage that was several times higher than Wave .  It shot out eight energy blades that contained 1,500% of his attack power .  The armored needles hit by them were instantly turned to rags and their health gauge fell by more than half .

Grid’s momentum increased . He calmly decided to finish them off as they rushed over .

‘If possible, let’s try not to consume the talisman in this fight . ’

It meant that he couldn’t be hit! It was ridiculous to deal with six boss monsters without being hit . However, Grid was serious .

“Transcend . ”

The scene of transcendence was completed in an instant as Grid’s hair was swept upwards . Grid’s ears and sharp eyes were exposed as he stepped back from the armored needles and wielded his sword twice .

Then two energy blades shot out .

Pepeng!

Pepepeng!

"Kyaak!"

The fraudulent ability of Transcend had been proven many times .  It replaced Grid’s default attack with ranged attacks that had double his attack power .  What if a buff skill was used in this state? It was a bombardment that no one could endure .

“Blacksmith's Rage . ”

[Blacksmith's Rage has been used . Attack power will increase by 25% and attack speed will increase by 40% for 35 seconds . ]

“Kyaaaak!”

The armored needles were angry .  They were angry at being hit by their prey . They started moving quicker towards Grid .

Pepepepeng!

Pepepepeok!

After using Blacksmith’s Rage, Grid wielded the sword three or four times while stepping back .  The momentum of the armored needles decreased .  In particular, the one at the forefront was on the verge of having its health extinguished . Grid was excited .

“Hahat! Kuhahahahat! You are too slow!”

“ . . . ”

Sua and the Red Phoenix members were just watching the battle .  The evil that had taken so many lives . The ghastly armored needles were just scarecrows in front of Grid .

"How can he be so stro . . . Ah!”

The Red Phoenix members flinched in unison .

Puoook!

It was because a few strands of silver thread appeared behind Grid . An armored needle secretly shot it through the ground in order to attack Grid .

"Danger!"

Sua hurriedly shouted but it was too late . Grid was busy with the armored needles in front of him and not paying attention to the rear .

"Ah . . . !"

The moment that Sua and the Red Phoenix members felt desperate .

“Come out! Overgeared Skeletons!”

Pahat!

A little ahead of where the silver thread emerged . Two skeletons popped up behind Grid . Then they were hit by the silver thread instead of Grid .

“Huh?”

There were a large number of people on the East Continent who could summon skeletons .  But it was uncommon for people to use them as shields . Grid summoned the skeletons again .

‘It is good that the East Continent has a high mana regeneration rate . ’

It was the environment that best harmonized with the Ring of Absurdity .

Clack! Clack clack clack clack!

Peok! Pasak!

Noe, Randy and the God Hands were used for attack purposes, while the strands of silver thread were blocked by the Overgeared Skeletons . Then a notification window popped up in front of him .

[Overgeared Skeleton (1) and Overgeared Skeleton (2) are gradually growing accustomed to the silver thread . ]
