Overgeared - Chapter 663

Chapter 663

[Mana Shield Lv . 6]

When attacked, mana is consumed instead of health . However, only 68% of your defense and magic resistance is available .

When casting a spell, the function of Mana Shield is incomplete . During magic casting, the Mana Shield will be penetrated if more than 30,000 damage is dealt .

* Can be turned ON/OFF without a cooldown time .

These were the specifications of the level 400 Mumud’s Mana Shield .  In addition, Mumud was a lich who had close to infinite magic power, so his mana was close to 500,000 .  There was something else .

[Mumud’s Knowledge]

Increases magic casting speed by 15% and mana regeneration rate by 30% .

Mumud also had basic skills like this .  It was enough to convince Agnus to have Mumud cast high level magic from the beginning of the battle .  Yes, Agnus interpreted the present Mumud as an invincible being .  Mumud would take 5~7 seconds to cast the high level spell and Agnus thought Mumud would be able to withstand any attacks during that time .

But the result? Grid’s casting speed of the lowest level magic was three times faster than Mumud and the power was enough to penetrate the Mana Shield .  

[Lich Mumud has suffered 37,300 damage!]

[Lich Mumud has lost 30,000 mana!]

[Lich Mumud has suffered 7,300 damage!]

'Mumud really received this type of damage from Fireball and Dark Cutter?’

Mumud’s current intelligence was as high as 10,000 . Mumud’s magic resistance was high enough to absorb most damage from the 1st ranking magician .  But in front of Grid’s magic, Mumud’s magic resistance was useless . Agnus’ eyes twisted before he laughed .

‘This is Braham’s strength . . . I have to acknowledge it!’

Agnus finally raised his rating of Grid .  This was the first player to acquire the legendary class of Pagma's Descendant and then Braham’s power . Agnus decided that Grid’s ‘quest progression’ would be unique .

‘If Kraugel is a genius at combat, Grid has the talent to understand and use the game’s worldview and story . ’

The truth was very different, but Agnus was forced to overestimate Grid .  It was because he could only interpret the existence of a person who could use the power of two legends as a bugged player .  Agnus shook with thrill . His smile curved from ear to ear as Grid spoke .

"This is a myth rated item, bastard . ”

"I . . . tem!”

Kwaaaang!

Grid once again cast Fireball .  Before Lich Mumud finished casting the S grade unique magic, Grid was already using his third spell .  Of course, from a common sense perspective, the lowest rated Fireball would be no threat to Mumud .  It was impossible to get through a lich’s Mana Shield with the lowest rated magic . But the destructive power of Grid’s Fireball was so beyond common sense that Agnus was nervous .

‘Is a Fireball that deals at least 20,000 damage coming again?’

The damage suffered when Fireball and Dark Cutter hit at the same time exceeded 37,000 . Agnus thought that he would suffer 20,000 damage from Fireball alone .

Peeeeeong!

[Lich Mumud has suffered 8,800 damage!]

[Lich Mumud has lost 8,800 mana . ]

‘Huh?’

The power of Fireball was much weaker than before?

‘Was the first spell a critical hit?’

Agnus regained his reason and stood in front of Mumud . It was in order to shield Mumud while the spell casting finished . On the other hand, Grid was suffering .

[The double casting of Fireball and Dark Cutter has failed . ]

‘How rotten!’

Belial’s Staff had a fraudulent option that made Triple Casting possible .  But it was an option that could only be used when supported by proficiency . For Grid, it was absolutely impossible to do Triple Casting .

‘Double casting . . . ’

He had to call out Fireball with his mouth and Dark Cutter in his mind, which was difficult for him . The first time he succeeded was purely . . . A coincidence .

'I should grab 100 people passing by and have them try it . ’

Maybe all 100 out of 100 would fail . The difficulty of double casting was high .

'Should I use high level magic?’

The current Grid was wearing almost all his overgeared items .  There was Neberius’s Bracelet which increased the wearer’s intelligence by 30 and shorted magic casting time by 20% .  The Black Quartz Earrings increased the wearer’s intelligence by 15% .  The Ring of Absurdity increased the wearer’s mana regeneration rate by two times and reduced the resources consumed by magic and skills by half .  Malacus’ Cloak increased the wearer’s intelligence by 200 and gave off a bloody smell .  The Holy Light Crown raised his intelligence by 300 and his dignity by 200 .  There was also Belial’s Staff .

In order to take full advantage of the power of a magician, Grid pulled out all the products that were effective .  In addition, there were the dozens of magic spells that could be used at level 400 .  That’s right .  The current abilities of the magician Grid weren’t lacking compared to Lich Mumud . He might even be ahead .  The reason why Grid only used the lowest level spells was for efficiency . Basic spells liked Magic Missile, Fireball, and Dark Cutter only took one or two seconds to cast, while the casting time increased as the rating went up .

‘It’s too risky to cast long spells when I’m unfamiliar with the magic . ’

Every spell had an antagonistic attribute . There weren’t just simple attack spells, but those that showed all types of functions .  The probability of being countered was extremely high, as utilization was unlimited . It meant that a battle involving magic was a psychological war .  The only magic that Grid had used was Magic Missile, Fly, and Alarm .  

Could the not intelligent Grid fight efficiently using various spells in real time? It was impossible .  His opponent was Agnus .  He had a lich skilled in using magic . It was highly likely that Grid would be defeated in a psychological war with him .

‘So . ’

Grid planned to take advantage of the option of Belial’s Staff where additional damage would be dealt if he used both fire magic and dark magic at the same time .  He wanted to avoid a psychological warfare by using only the lowest level magic, which was close to immediate magic, in order to push Lich Mumud . However, reality wasn’t that easy .

“Fireball!”

' Dark Cut . . . Ball!’

“Fire . . . ! Dark!”

‘Damn!’

It was really difficult to cast Fireball and Dark Cutter at the same time . He was convinced that double casting wasn’t an area for players .

‘This is why . . . The title of a great magician will be the exclusive property of NPCs .

Pepeng!

Peng!

Fireball and Dark Cutter were deployed separately to attack Mumud . The power was so weak that it couldn’t be compared to when cast at the same time . This meant it couldn’t penetrate the Mana Shield . Grid’s nervousness reached the peak .

Kiyaaaaaaah!

Under the protection of Agnus and the Mana Shield, Lich Mumud finished casting his magic . Magic power exploded and headed towards Grid .

“God Hands!”

Grid called out but he had become a great magician thanks to Assimilation .  The God Hands were the dedicated item of Pagma's Descendant and didn’t respond to Grid’s call . In the end, Grid had to endure Mumud’s attack with his own strength .

‘What should I stop?’

Mumud cast magic that Grid had never seen before . The power and effects couldn’t be predicted . But it was clearly top rated magic if it took eight seconds to cast .

'I have to unconditionally stop it . ’

Grid quickly pulled something out from the magic list he had checked before .  The defense magic list . Among them, there was a spell that exerted extreme magic resistance .

“Anti-magic Shield!”

[Increases magic resistance by 50% for 10 seconds . ]

[Defends against one magic attack . ]

Chwaaaaak!

A pink transparent curtain wrapped around Grid’s body .

Jjeejeeeong!

Like a comet, a flash of glowing light hit the pink curtain .  Then . . .

The pink curtain shattered .  The prismatic flash that boasted seven colours now had only six colours . A chill went down Grid’s spine .

'Multi-hit magic . . . !’

The flashing prism . It seemed like one spell but it was actually seven types of spells separated by seven attributes .

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

Mumud’s magic flew through the anti-magic shield and exploded as it collided against Grid’s chest . The explosion was so huge that the ground where Grid was standing disappeared like it was hit by a meteorite .

“ . . . ”

“G-Grid . . . ”

Through the dust generated by the explosion, they could see the silhouette of the struggling Grid .  He was being burned, frozen, covered with dirt, blown by the wind, pierced by a flash .  Grid received different types of damage at once .  It was a scene that caused goose bumps .

Lich Mumud .  Those who knew about him and those who first came to know about him today . . . everyone was thrilled .  This was Mumud’s magic . It was enough to invoke silence on the chaotic battlefield .

“Kukuk . . . !”

How much time passed? Both the viewers and those on the battlefield foresaw Grid’s death as the stillness lasted for a moment or maybe an eternity .  Someone’s unpleasant laughter broke the silence . It was Agnus’ laughter .

"Kuhahahahahat!” Okay! Very good! Hahahahahat!”

Agnus sought the pleasures of the moment . He wanted to forget the terrible reality by receiving new stimuli . For example, today’s encounter with Grid was the best .

“You having Braham’s soul . . . It will be the stepping stone for Mumud’s growth!! Kuk! Kukuk! Gridddd! More! Jump further! Give me more!!!”

Peeng!

Pepepepeng!

Lich Mumud aimed a spell at the silhouette of Grid in the dust .  Most of the viewers saw this action as the killing shot .  It was because the power that Mumud used before was too strong for Grid to recover so quickly . At that moment .

“ . . . Why didn’t I think of this sooner?”

The storm caused by the aftermath of Mumud’s magic .  The appearance of the wounded Grid was revealed .  Over his left shoulder, 10 fireballs were lined up while there were 10 black blades over his right shoulder . It was like wings of fire and darkness .

“ . . . ?”

The viewers, Ares members, Overgeared members and Agnus didn’t understand the meaning of Grid’s appearance . But Lich Mumud . . .

Flinch .

He was learning . Among the enhanced magic that Braham redefined, it was the second coming of the Alarm magic that showed the most efficiency .
