Overgeared - Chapter 552

Chapter 552

'The Red Phoenix Bow is the strongest weapon . ’

Grid thought this .  Was it because he always did his best and wanted to be rewarded for his efforts? No, his faith didn’t come from such a vague thing . It was an absolute conviction because of several reasons .

‘The first evidence . ’

The quality of the design was the best ever . The original version of the Red Phoenix Bow was likely to be myth rated .

‘The second evidence . ’

The quality of the materials used in the production was the best ever . The white phosphorus wood and Red Phoenix Breath . In particular, the material called the Red Phoenix Breath was likely to be equivalent to adamantium .   Adamantium was a mineral that was collected from the world of the gods . In other words, the Red Phoenix Breath was a by-product of a god . It was a ‘part of a god . ’ 

‘The third evidence . ’

Grid’s concentration was at its highest level . The effect of the Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience had activated four times over the last three days . It was the first time since he became Pagma’s Descendant .

‘Thanks to the Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience, I’m not tired at all and can devote myself to working without a break . ’

It was a feast of the best conditions! They overlapped and would obtain the best results .

Ttiring~

[You can no longer smelt the Red Phoenix Breath . It is already in the best form . ]

[Strengthened Red Phoenix Breath]

The aura of the Red Phoenix enhanced by the legendary blacksmith Grid .

Increases fire resistance by 40% even when carrying it in the inventory .

It can be used to infuse items with the powerful aura of the Red Phoenix .

However, it can only be attached to items with a strong fire attribute .

Weight: 2

The strengthened Red Phoenix Breath contained a stronger flame than before . The flames in the ruby rose like they wanted to run wild .

‘Now I can make the bow . ’

Grid made good use of the extra time to heat up the furnace . He used all his knowledge to handle the white phosphorus wood . Now it was only necessary to add the additional materials such as the minotaur horns .

‘It’s okay . The kids will be able to hold on well even without me . I don’t have to worry and just focus on doing my best . ’

Grid wasn’t aware of it, but he was able to exert a higher concentration than usual in the production of this item because of his different mindset .  His colleagues were in a crisis and he couldn’t help . Grid had to suppress his anxiety and nerves from imagining the worst situation and his concentration naturally rose during this process . He used a variety of tools during the production .

Chiiiik!

“ . . . ”

Grid stared at the water vapor that was generated by cooling the heated white phosphorus wood in the water .   It shone firmly without yielding . It looked like the starlight in the night sky .

[The Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience skill has been activated . ]

“ . . . Good . ”

The Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience skill once again activated! Grid smiled as sharp as a knife as his fatigue disappeared and his concentration stayed at the peak . The blacksmiths of the White Hammer smithy felt infinite awe as they watched Grid tirelessly work on the item for the fourth day in a row .

The next evening .

[The Legendary Blacksmith’s Breath has been activated . ]

Grid received a welcome notification window as he entered the final stages of the production .  He attached the Red Phoenix Breath to the finished bow .  Then a red aura appeared around the white bow . Grid prayed for the message ‘a legendary item has been completed . ’

‘Please!’

Give him a legendary rating!

. . . It might be too greedy . Maybe he should pray for a unique rating .

‘Then I can use Item Upgrade to make it a legendary rating . ’

The moment that Grid’s mind weakened .

Paaaat!

There was a gorgeous sight as the Red Phoenix Bow completely accepted the essence of the Red Phoenix, the white bow turning an orange-red color . It was an intense color like blazing fire . Then . . .

[An unexpected situation has occurred!]

“ . . . ?”

Unexpected situation? A chill went down the spine of the expectant Grid .

'What the hell is this situation?’

Grid had been hit in the back of the head while playing the game more than once or twice .  Grid’s expectations were always betrayed . Thus, he assumed the worst . However, it was the opposite .

[The rating of the item you produced is higher than legendary . ]

[It is the result of breaking the limits due to the production method, the materials, and the maker’s commitment . ]

“ . . . Ah!!”

Grid was reminded of something .  It was during the pope election episode .  During the process of understanding and recreating the myth rated item Lifael’s Spear, Grid’s blacksmithing technique was upgraded from ‘Witness of God’s Weapon’ to ‘Understanding of God’s Weapon . ’ Thanks to that, Grid had a very low probability of producing a myth rated (reproduction) item . But the odds were very low and had never happened before .

‘I wasn’t expecting this!’

At this moment, a myth reproduction was born .  Grid was filled with a thrill that was beyond joy .  The result far exceeded his expectations, causing excitement to flow like a tidal wave .  But the result was different . The item made by Grid wasn’t a myth reproduction .

[Congratulations!]

[You are the first player to produce a myth rated item!]

[The title, ‘Watched by the Gods’ has been acquired . ]

[(Understanding of Gods’ Weapons) Legendary Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship Skill has evolved into (Seeing the Gods’ Techniques) Legendary Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship Skill . ]

“Wow . ”

Grid’s eyes widened .  It wasn’t a reproduction, but a pure myth rating .  Grid was so surprised that his heart stopped . His head was refreshed . Grid looked at the updated skill information .

[(Seeing the Gods’ Techniques) Legendary Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship Skill Lv . 8]

There is a high probability of producing rare~ epic rated items .

There is a certain probability of creating unique rated items .

There is a rare probability of creating legendary rated items .

If certain conditions are met, there is a very rare probability of making a myth reproduction or myth rated item .

* All stats of a production item will increase by 21% .

* When myth rated items are produced, all stats will permanently rise by +10 and reputation throughout the continent will rise by +1,000 .

* Something special will occur with every three myth rated items created . (Currently 1/3)

“ . . . ”

Grid was happy, but frowned after a moment . The updated skill gave Grid a new penalty!

“No, dammit . . . Legendary items don’t give me any stats now?”

No, wasn’t this too severe? It didn’t make sense that he would be treated like this when making legendary items .  The price for making a myth rated item was too high . Grid’s shoulders slumped .

'The future is uneasy . . . ’

Something special would happen every time he made three myth grade items . Why did he feel like this might be a huge penalty?

"This damn Korean game . ”

It was too stingy to players .  They didn’t treat players well who paid a full fee every month . It was the typical attitude of a Korean game company . Grid couldn’t confirm the details of the completed Red Phoenix Bow when he heard a disturbance .

“D-Demon . . . !”

"Pointy-eared demon!”

“ . . . ?”

There was an uproar from the entrance to the smithy .  The White Hammer blacksmiths cried out fearfully .

‘Pointy-eared demon?’

What type of monsters would scare the blacksmiths? Grid armed himself with the Sword Ghost and exited the smithy . Then he was shocked .

“Sticks!”

The pointy-eared demon that the blacksmiths were scared of .  It was Sage Sticks .  The person Grid had been waiting for! By the way . . .

"Why are you being treated as a demon?”

An elf . He was a noble existence .  Elves were those who loved nature and peace, and were hostile to demonkin . They were historically honored and loved by people . It was strange that the blacksmiths of the White Hammer smithy would call him a demon .

Sticks reached out to Grid .

"I can’t speculate, but the East Continent might have a difficult situation that is hard to untangle . Let’s go back . ”

Now wasn’t the time to think about the East Continent .  His colleagues were the top priority . Grid nodded and grabbed Sticks’ hand . Then the two people disappeared with a flash of light .

***

"A stronghold of a small kingdom is at this level . . . ?”

The Yak Guild that was one of the Seven Guilds .  Bubat was the master of a small territory . Therefore, he was able to see how magnificent the high walls of Patrian were .

‘The walls should be at least level 8 . ’

The durability was at least one million .  It was natural that it would be difficult to scratch the walls with a level 100 or level 200 magic or skill bombardment . In order to break down the walls, at least a third advancement magician or high level siege weapon was needed .

‘If only I could have one of these fortresses . ’

The Yak Guild had considerable manpower and capital, and they’d spent five months raising the wall by one level . Of course, every time the level of the wall increased, the amount of capital and experience required for the next level up would increase . In other words, a player couldn’t build level 8 walls .

‘Grid got it for free . . . Tsk . ’

He noticed that Earl Ashur was on Grid’s side since the Reidan invasion . Grid had been raising Earl Ashur since the earliest days and consequently obtained this great fortress .

‘I don’t want to admit it . . . ’

Grid was a very wide character . He wasn’t the same as other high rankers who relied on force or skills .

‘Being able to capture the hearts of NPCs . This is Grid’s greatest strength!’

If Grid was left alone, he would proceed forward without limits . Putting personal grudges aside, Bubat had an obligation to keep in check any high ranking competitors . But this wasn't an easy task . It was because there were too few third advancement classes in the Eternal Kingdom .

‘We have to use the siege weapons well . ’

Eternal’s army had 12 catapults .  But they weren’t effective . Patrian had prominent magicians such as Zednos, Laella, and Euphemina . Their magic easily neutralized the catapults’ attacks . In particular, the girl called Euphemina was a problem .

She used the best defense spell with the right attributes .

‘This monster . . . Did she obtain a legendary great magician class?’

Bubat clicked his tongue and turned his gaze to the leader of the Eternal army .  Thousands of infantry tried to climb the walls of Patrian, but they couldn’t deal with the pouring magic, arrows, and stones . In particular, the Overgeared unit led by Regas . They ran out of the castle for a while and when they did, Eternal’s vanguard was severely damaged .

‘Fortunately, Jishuka is tired . Now that she’s on a break, it’s time to get rid of Regas . ’

If they defeated Regas’ group, it would be very easy to climb Patrian’s walls . Bubat believed this and looked at Jeff and Ralph .

"We’re finally going to act?”

"My body was becoming stiff . ”

"We can’t just watch . ”

The damage dealers of Overgeared were busy destroying or keeping in check the siege weapons . It was a safe environment where Bubat, Jeff, and Ralph could finally show their true colors .

“The target is Regas!”

"Kill all those who interfere!”

Bubat, Jeff, and Ralph guided their guilds forward .  They killed any Eternal soldiers who blocked the road without hesitation and reached Regas . Regas screamed while fighting with Eternal’s soldiers .

“Avoid it!"

The Overgeared members who were part of the Silver Knights Guild . It was the moment when the 30 of them heard Regas’ call and tried to respond .

Kurururung! 

There was the sound of thunder and the ground erupted . It was an earthquake caused by Bubat who was considered the best initiator .

“Aaaack!”

“Hiik!”

The average level of the Overgeared members in Regas’ unit was 230 .  They couldn’t resist the wide area CC used by Bubat and floated in the air .  Regas barely escaped the CC and felt strained . Bubat grabbed the faces of two of the Overgeared members floating in the air .

Bubat smiled widely .

Kwajajak!

Bubat grabbed the faces of two Overgeared members and slammed them into the ground . It was the signal for the reversal .
