[The enhancement has failed . ]

[The enhancement has failed . . . ]

[The enhancement . . . ]

Fail, fail, fail in a row! Grid kept failing in his weapon enhancement .  Every blessed enhancement stone was worth 1,200 gold . The Overgeared members started sweating .

" . . . Doesn’t he have a passive that increases the probability of enhancement?”

"That's right . Therefore, every time I need to strengthen an item, I asked Grid to strengthen it instead . ”

Ibellin replied to Vantner .  It wasn’t just him . Most of the Overgeared members ran to Grid when they needed to enhance something .

“But looking back . . . ”

" . . . I feel like the probability when Grid enhances it is similar to when I enhance it . . . ”

“ . . . ”

It was a fact that was hard to deny .  He had the ‘increased probability of enhancement’ passive and was the first to succeed in the ultimate enhancement, but looking at his total experience, his enhancement ability wasn’t very good . His probability of success wasn’t much different from a regular player .

The reason? Grid believed that the probability of the ‘increased enhanced probability’ itself was bad . Otherwise, it was hard to understand why he was so bad with enhancement .  Now the Overgeared members dimly noticed it . The real reason why Grid didn’t do well .

' . . . A poop hand . ’

The Overgeared members’ interpretation wasn’t wrong as another blessed weapon enhancement stone vanished .

Shake shake!

Grid’s eyes were bloodshot as he started shaking .  He thought he would cry at any minute . It was natural since a huge amount of money was disappearing into thin air . It was a normal Grid reaction, since he didn’t have money like Katz .

"G-Grid, wouldn’t it be better to take it easier?” 

“Do as Toban says . I don’t think this is the time . ”

There were countless myths about enhancement .  Many people believed that a particular time or place had an impact on enhancement probability .  An average person would give up on the enhancement and wait for a better time .  But not emotional people like Grid . Having failed so far, he couldn’t stop the unfounded belief that he would succeed next time . He was too angry to make a reasonable judgment .

"Uwaaaaaah! Let’s see who will win!”

Grid cried at the expense of destroying the enhancement stones while continuing to try enhancing the Enlightenment Sword .

[The enhancement has failed . ]

[The enhancement has failed . ]

There was no reversal . The odds hit Grid in the back of the head as usual . Goosebumps crept over the skin of the Overgeared members as they watched Grid failing continuously .

‘Grid has no luck . We should leave now . ’

'Maybe the probability of enhancing myth rated items is lower than expected?’

Normal items could be enhanced up to +6, while myth rated items had a probability of failure from +0 . In addition, every time an item failed to be enhanced, the enhancement value would drop .  This was what Grid and the Overgeared members knew .

Nobody knew the percentage of successful enhancement for a myth rated item .  They vaguely guessed that it would be a similar probability to a +7 normal item .  But now they realized it wasn’t +7 . The odds were more similar to a +8 enhancement .

"Jishuka, haven’t you already tried enhancing the Red Phoenix Bow?’

Once he saw Grid’s stress, the worried Peak Sword asked Jishuka . His expression was reproachful since she could’ve given Grid information about enhancing myth rated items . Jishuka shook her head .

"I only attempted a few enhancement attempts . ’

“Why?”

It was a myth rated item .  It would have explosive growth even at +1 . Why didn’t she try to enhance the Red Phoenix Bow when she knew this? Jishuka explained to the confused Peak Sword with a depressed expression .

“How can I afford to buy enhancement items when I’m so busy paying Grid off?”

“Ah . . . ”

It was rare for anyone to live in this world comfortably .   Peak Sword once again realized this timeless truth .

***

* If this bracelet grows to a legendary rating, the wearer can summon Vampire Earl Cray .

* If this greatsword grows to a legendary rating, the wearer can summon Vampire Earl Yetima .

As Grid was drinking a bitter cup of hardships, Euphemina and Chris couldn’t help looking at the information of the bracelet and greatsword they obtained .  Items that could summon a vampire lord! Putting aside their performance, Cray’s Bracelet and Yetima’s Greatsword had tremendous value alone as a summoning tool .

That’s why Euphemina and Chris appreciated the fact that Grid gave them the items .  They fought together and succeeded in the raid . Didn’t they have the right to claim ownership of the items? Why did they thank Grid? The reason was simple .  Grid acted modestly, but he clearly was 1st in this raid .  Grid had the strongest right to claim ownership over items . If he claimed the items, Chris and Euphemina could only give up .  But Grid didn’t claim ownership of the items . He wanted his companions to use the dropped items more appropriately . This was despite the fact that it was a direct summoning item .

‘As expected, not just anyone can become king . ’

When Chris was leading the Giant Guild, he had monopolized the small number of elixirs dropped in his castle’s dungeon .  In fact, most organizations benefited from this structure and Chris thought he was exercising his right as a leader . But Grid was different . He gave a lot of concessions despite being a leader . As a typical example, he created, enhanced, and repaired items for his colleagues .

‘Respect . ’

‘Thank you . ’

There was a strong feeling of trust in the eyes of Euphemina and Chris, who were looking at Grid .  Like their other teammates, they knew that Grid had the Qualification of a Blood King title (although they didn’t know it would be promoted) .  There was the possibility of him becoming the king of the direct descendants . From Grid’s viewpoint, it was better for him to possess as many direct descendants summoning items as possible . The fact that he suppressed his desires for the sake of his colleagues caused Euphemina and Chris to feel respect . They vowed .

‘I will raise the item rating to legendary . ’ 

‘Then I will return it to His Majesty . ’

They weren’t just thinking and acting for Grid’s sake .  Items could be replaced from time to time . As time passed, it was natural to get stronger items . By the time the bracelet and greatsword grew to the legendary rated, Euphemina and Chris would be armed with superior items .

‘Even if it isn’t the case, Grid will make me a better item . Isn't that right?’

They had faith because the other person was the legendary blacksmith Grid .  They thought it was really good that they joined the Overgeared Guild . A wide smile appeared on Chris and Euphemina’s faces .

“It’s better to stop for a while . ”

Laeul said as he came up to Grid, who was still busy strengthening .

Grid just snorted .

"If a man pulls out the radish, he has to slice it . I won’t stop until I use all up the enhancement stones . ”

"What if you don’t have a knife to cut it?”

Lauel who knew Korean better than an actual Korean! He spoke without hesitation and gave Grid a warning .

"I’m worried about the two direct descendants left . ”

“Ah . ”

Grid came to his senses .  The two direct descendants who disappeared with Yetima and didn’t return . If one of them came back, the party would be completely annihilated . It was impossible for the currently exhausted party to deal with the direct descendants .

‘I’m relieved that the city’s entrance is open . ’

Grid put the remaining six enhancement stones back in his inventory and told his teammates .

"Let’s leave the city first . Today we’ll rest and tomorrow will be an expedition . . . ”

Before Grid finished speaking .

Peeng!

A bloody magic power aimed at Grid’s face .  

“Grid!”

The surprised members were still relieved . It was because the God Hands guarded Grid . Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the magic . They saw the earls floating in the sky next to each other .

‘Che, it’s too late . ”

The reason why the direct descendants left Earl Cray earlier was purely to sleep .  Lauel didn’t miss this . The possibility of the direct descendants reemerging was very low . He knew that the direct descendants wouldn’t wake up for a long time after they fell asleep .  However, Yetima appeared directly after the Cray raid and now the direct descendants appeared after the Yetima raid . Lauel thought that Yetima overcame the sleep because he was the owner of the city . But that wasn’t the case .

"After Cray, you defeated Yetima?”

“They’re insidious bastards . We shouldn’t go out alone, so why don’t we hunt half each?”

“It’s a good idea . ”

“ . . . !”

Once the vampires in the sky talked about cooperation, the faces of the Overgeared members paled .  Assuming that they were at least Yetima level, it would be impossible to defeat both of them at the same time .  In particular, it was hard to deal with both of them at the same time when they were exhausted .

“I will buy time while you run away . ”

Step .

Grid stepped forward . He was ready to die . He planned to sacrifice his life to open the path for his companions . But the plan wasn't needed .

“No . Just retreat . The escape route has already been made . ”

Lauel had secured a retreat route while Grid put on a strong show in front of their colleagues . Grid had a confused expression .

“That . . . Really?”

Grid scratched his head and Lauel reassured him .

"I don’t want to repeat my mistakes . Now, let's go . "

“You! I won’t let you escape!”

The direct descendants followed as the Overgeared members started escaping with Lauel .  They tried to narrow the distance to the Overgeared guild members, making full use of their ability to fly . Originally, they would’ve caught up with the Overgeared members . But it was strange .

‘What?’

‘Why is it so hard to catch them?’

The direct descendants couldn’t catch up with the Overgeared members . It was because their flight path was full of stalactites so it was difficult to speed up .  It was Lauel’s plan . He had observed the terrain since he entered the city and resorted to this route to block their flying capabilities . Thanks to this, the Overgeared members were able to escape from the city without any sacrifices .

“Good! Well done Lauel!”

“We’re alive thanks to you!”

The sunny desert . The Overgeared members escaped through the city’s entrance and started to praise Lauel .

Lauel covered half his face with one hand and laughed .

“Kuk . . . Kukukuk, the residents of the night are helpless in front of this body, who is master of the darkness . They are small fries . Hut . ”

“ . . . ”

It had been a long time Lauel contributed .

"Hum hum, let’s split up here and gather tomorrow . ”

Grid settled the atmosphere and logged out . It was the same with his colleagues .  

“Eh?”

The laughing Lauel realized after a while that he was left alone . He missed Damian and the evil eyes . It was less than two months before the National Competition .
