Chapter 561

[Item Transformation]

A skill that can be triggered if the legendary mineral ‘pavranium’ is possessed .

It transforms the pavranium into the shape and performance of a specific item .

* It can only transform into items you have learned how to make .

* The duration of the transformation is 3 minutes . After the transformation is released, the pavranium will return to its original form .

Skill Mana Cost: None .

Skill Cooldown Time: 6 hours .

It was the power that Grid obtained in return for making the 15th legendary item . It was a skill that maximized the value of pavranium .  So far, the skill had been used to reproduce the myth rated Lifael’s Spear . Now he used it to reproduce the Red Phoenix Bow .

Pagma’s Descendant lacked wide area skills compared to other combat classes .  The Red Phoenix Bow was a good item to overcome this shortcoming .  Of course, it was impossible to completely reproduce the myth rated Red Phoenix Bow . The prerequisite for the myth rated Red Phoenix Bow was the Red Phoenix’s Breath . As the essence of a god, it couldn’t be reproduced by pavranium .

The Red Phoenix Bow that Grid reproduced was the legendary rated one that he gave to Han Seokbong .

“Fly Up!”

[Fly Up!]

Summons a copy of the Red Phoenix .

The Red Phoenix’s clone will deal fire attribute damage to all targets within 300 meters of the summoned spot . The damage is 600% of the summoner’s total attack power .

Mana Consumption: 3,000

Cooldown Time: 24 hours .

It was a terribly weak effect compared to the Fly Up! attached to the myth rated Red Phoenix Bow .  The attack range was too bad .  The myth rated Red Phoenix Bow attacked all enemies within the player’s field of view, while the legendary rated bow had an attack range of 300 meters .

But 300 meters wasn’t a small range . Wide area skills with such a large range were actually very rare .  It didn’t matter if this wasn’t the Fly Up! of the myth rated Red Phoenix Bow . The legendary rated Fly Up! would be used! It was a superb wide area skill .

In addition, the myth rated Fly Up! also had limitations . It was difficult to exert the full effect when the user’s view was restricted . In terms of stability, the legendary rated Fly Up! was better . It was more efficient .  However, the disadvantage was that it attacked all targets within range . In other words, it didn’t differentiate between friends of foe . But right now, there was only enemies here . All of them were enemies except for the inhabitants of Bairan .

“Fly Up!”

Kiiiiiiii-!

The white phosphorus arrow was fired at the same time by Grid and the God Hands, leaving the Red Phoenix Bow and soaring into the sky . At the same time, the cries of birds rang throughout Bairan and two red phoenixes appeared .  Birds surrounded by flames . The size was as big as a house . The Eternal soldiers fell into a panic as they saw the giant birds blocking the sun .

“Phoenix!”

“Grid summoned them!”

There was no limit to Grid’s power!

Flap .

The birds in the sky flapped their wings and flames fell to the ground . Duke Lucilliv sensed the danger and screamed at the soldiers .

"Spread out!"

It was in order to minimize the loss of troops . But the large number of troops was a disadvantage .  Bairan was full of Eternal soldiers .  The place was too narrow to allow escape . Before they could move a few steps, their bodies collided, their feet became tangled up and they collapsed . The fireballs bombardment commenced above their heads while they were trapped in the streets and defenseless .

Pepepepeok!

"Aaaaack!"

These were the screams of the survivors .  The soldiers burnt by the flames couldn’t even scream as they turned to ash . A scene where thousands of soldiers were targets of the falling fireballs . . . People started sweating at the overwhelming sight .

"The magicians as well . . . !”

Duke Lucilliv felt anxious from his position on the walls . In front of Grid, the number of troops was meaningless .  The battlefield was devastated . The bulk of the soldiers were lost . In particular, the loss of the magicians forced him to make a decision .

"Send out the knights! We’ll only receive more losses if this continues!”

"Waaahhhhhhhh!"

Finally, the real battle started .  Around 5,000 knights in the mid-200s assaulted Grid .

Duke Lucilliv laughed .  "They’re different from the soldiers!”

It was painful to lose knights . However, the ultimate goal of this war was Grid’s death . They needed to devote resources to take care of Grid .

‘The curse doesn’t care if he is a creature of the gods . ’

He had prepared a curse .  A curse that only worked on immortal beings .  It was an atrocious curse that increased the player’s death penalty by up to three times . It could cause fatal damage!

Grid looked at the confidence Duke Lucilliv and released the transformation of the Red Phoenix Bow . Then he transformed the other two God Hands into Red Phoenix Bows .

“Don’t you know I have two more left? Fly Up!”

Kiiiiiiii-!

Grid fired the bow and two more firebirds appeared in the sky .

"Heok!”

“This doesn’t make sense!”

The 5,000 knights approaching Grid hastily stopped in place . It felt like a dream that such a powerful skill was used twice in a row .

“A-Avoid it!”

The knights started to flee between the soldiers . They used the soldiers as shields to protect their lives .  But Fly Up! It attacked all targets within a certain range . Using people as shields were meaningless .

Kurururung!

Fireballs that poured like rain!

“Kuaaaack!”

The knights were struck by burning fireballs and screamed in horror .  But knights were knights for a reason .  Most of them didn’t die from the blow . The vast majority of them barely lived . But .

[The hidden passive ‘God's Command’ has reset the cooldown of Fly Up! If reused within three seconds, no resources will be consumed . ]

"There is still one remaining . ”

Kiiiiiiii-!

The red phoenix appeared once again . The knights couldn’t understand and shouted .

“This is impossible!”

It was a cry that was full of misery and wishful thinking .  They turned to ashes from the fireballs .  It was the moment when the proud knights of the Eternal Kingdom were destroyed . Duke Lucilliv was stunned as he lost his main forces in vain .

“T-This doesn’t make sense . . . !”

There was no way for even a great magician to use large magic spells consecutively .  Grid’s power was infinite .  Duke Lucilliv was filled with doubt and fear . He was afraid that he really might lose 100,000 troops to Grid .

'No! Absolutely not!’

Duke Lucilliv and his 100,000 troops couldn’t be destroyed by only one enemy .  He would be labelled as the most incompetent person in the history of the West Continent . Duke Lucilliv needed to avoid this situation and decided to convene the elite group .

“Baron Duka! Earl Carrion! Earl Red! Marquis Bera? It’s your turn!”

They were the great swordsman and magicians who boasted the strongest power .  The knights and soldiers they fostered were excellent compared to the Eternal Kingdom . Duke Lucilliv believed they would be able to kill Grid, even if they received damage .

However . . .

"Where is everybody?”

They couldn’t be seen at all? Confusion filled Duke Lucilliv’s eyes . It was enough to drive him crazy .

『 What are we seeing right now? 』

Jishuka summoned a red phoenix above Patrian .  Experts from all the the world evaluated as a quest item .  The power from a player was so strong that it must be a force that could only be used during the Eternal Kingdom’s war quests .  But now they realized that might not be the case .

The bow that summoned a red phoenix . Grid had several of them .

-Grid can summon the red phoenix five times in a row, although it’s weaker than the phoenix summoned by Jishuka .  No matter how weak the red phoenixes summoned, doesn’t Grid’s summoning ability seem much stronger than Jishuka?

-I agree .  It seems comparable to Meteor, which is a rumored high grade spell .

-What was Grid doing after the National Competition? How did he become so strong in such a short period of time?

-Don’t try to understand him .  Did you see how easily he beat the vampires? He is a king/god gamer .

-Right now, I think that the candidates to win the 3rd National Competition are South Korea and Brazil .  Summoning a phoenix alone would end the war .

-Now people are shutting up .  Those cursing Grid are silent .

The viewers around the world admired the sight .  Grid summoned five red phoenixes in a row and destroyed more than 10,000 troops .  Was there a player capable of destroying 10,000 troops in the blink of an eye? People started speculating . It was only Grid capable of doing this, not Kraugel .

The basis for it was as followed:

『 We shouldn’t overlook one thing . Grid hasn’t shown most of the skills he used during the National Competition . 』

『 Grid still hasn’t fully revealed his abilities . 』

Akaru Fortress .

It was located on the edge of the Saharan Empire .  Geographically, it was facing Reidan’s direction and the reason for the fortress’ presence was to watch and keep in check the Saharan Empire .  It was a neutral state but it wasn’t necessary to keep it in check . Like other kingdoms, the Eternal Kingdom also offered a tribute to the empire .  As a result, there were few troops deployed to Akaru Fortress .

But the atmosphere had changed in recent years .  The noble called Grid revolted in the Eternal Kingdom, causing the Eternal Kingdom to be in turmoil .  The Saharan Empire didn’t intend to miss this gap . In particular, the Saharan Empire had long since coveted Reidan . Now that the Eternal Kingdom was in turmoil, they planned to invade Reidan and take control .

Now 20,000 elite troops were deployed to Akaru Fortress and this was a golden opportunity .

"The Eternal Kingdom has moved 100,000 troops . ”

“There’s a group deployed from Reidan in response . ”

“Now Reidan is empty . ”

This was the time .  The time had come to enter Reidan with no bloodshed and plant the flag of the empire .  What about the Eternal Kingdom? The empire was just giving strength to the kingdom suffering due to the rebels . They were just protecting Reidan while the kingdom was recovering .  After this, they could casually occupy it .  

The takeover of a territory by a powerful nation! Earl Turich, commander of Akaru Fortress, didn’t even think about it .  He moved without any hesitation towards the empty Reidan . But he was forced to stop the march of the army .

‘This is impossible!’

The mountain range that was between Reidan and Akaru Fortress .  As they crossed the mountain range, they saw tens of thousands of Reidan soldiers in the vast desert .  The large army was united and training in the same movements . The imperial soldiers got goosebumps .

“How can tens of thousands of soldiers move the same?”

There wasn’t a hair out of place .  The tens of thousands of troops were doing the exact same movement with the spear . It was obvious with a glance that they were the elites .

" . . . We have to step back . ”

Earl Turich judged and gave an order to his army .  He never imagined it .  There were actually only 1,000 soldiers training in the desert heat .  The reason there seemed to be tens of thousands? It was due to the shadows that the 1,000 soldiers made under the sun .

“Using my shadow soldiers strategically . . . Earl Lauel is really a great person . ”

Kasim’s heart thumped as he saw the imperial army retreat beyond the mountains . He become even more convinced that Grid, accompanied by powerful forces and talent, would surely destroy the empire .
