Overgeared - Chapter 928

Chapter 928: 928



Grid gained a total of 2,340 stat points from the 234 elixirs . Only one-tenth of them went into the four major stats, but that was still more than 200 points . If calculated simply, it was like gaining 20 levels . Furthermore, Grid managed to secure a large number of good luck stats and successfully enhanced his item . He couldn’t calm his excited mind . By visiting the East Continent, he jumped several steps at once . It was the feeling of receiving a windfall .

‘Pangea’s secret dungeon should also be a great place . ’

Grid wanted to use the admission ticket that he earned from the last quest reward . However . . .

“ . . . Garam . ”

It could also be a damn trap . Compared to Garam, Grid was still a helpless little boy . Jumping a few stairs at once . . . ? It was futile . He had to climb hundreds of steps just to be at eye-level with Garam . It wasn’t just Garam . There were many strong enemies on the West Continent, and Garam was just one of the few trials Grid would have to face .

‘I’m still lacking . ’

The afterglow of joy was brief . Rather, it made Grid extremely thirsty .

‘I am still missing a lot . It is insufficient . ’

He needed to be stronger . Grid thought about a few colleagues—Euphemina, Faker, Regas, Yura, Jishuka, Chris . . .

He hadn’t forgotten what he had seen from them . They didn’t repeat mistakes, their learning speed was unthinkable, and the way they applied what they learned was inspiring . Grid sometimes got goosebumps when he went hunting with them . The difference in interpretation was like the difference between an adult and a child . Yes, they were in the realm of geniuses, and he was the one who had gathered these geniuses . Although, the real genius was actually Kraugel .

“I won’t catch up next year . The next year, or the year after that, I will suppress them with my stats and items . ”

They were his respected competitors . As long as they didn’t disappear, Grid’s passion and development wouldn’t stop .

Lauel didn’t just take care of the internal affairs of the Overgeared Kingdom . He also managed the Overgeared Guild . One of Lauel’s tasks was to ensure that the Overgeared members enjoyed better benefits and developed further . The Galgunos Temple—Lauel invested a lot of time and effort into finding this new hunting ground . It didn’t drop rare items such as elixirs or vampire rings like the vampire cities, but it gave a large amount of experience .

The problem was the level of difficulty . Considering the number, type, and level of the monsters that appeared, the Galgunos Temple was twice as difficult as the vampire cities .

[You have entered the Galgunos Temple . ]

[You can feel the source of the demonic energy . ]

[All stats have decreased by 10%, and health recovery has decreased by 50% . ]

[You have resisted . ]



“The atmosphere here . . . ”

It was a temple with a complex structure like a labyrinth . Grid shook off the curses and remembered Lauel’s words .

“Pon, Regas, and Chris are hunting here these days . . . They can’t resist the curse, but it isn’t hard . . . ”

Based on their personalities, the three people were unlikely to have formed a party . They probably scattered and were hunting alone all over the labyrinth . In any case, they weren’t ordinary people .

“An intruder . ” Galgunos’ messenger—a humanoid monster roaming the labyrinth—found Grid and rushed over . It was at an extremely fast speed that meant the messenger had at least 2,000 agility . However, it wasn’t enough to pressure Grid who had over 3,000 agility . Compared to Garam’s speed, it was slow enough to make Grid yawn . He avoided the messenger’s attack and struck back .

[You have attacked the weak point!]

[The target has received 16,940 damage . ]

[Black flames have exploded!]

It was overwhelming damage! The Galgunos’ messenger wore sheet metal armor and seemed to have high defense, but it was useless in front of Grid . Grid’s basic attack alone reduced the messenger’s health by one-tenth . Thanks to the increase in the good luck state, his targeting of the weak points, his critical attacks, the black flames and red thunderbolts emerged more often than usual . It took only five seconds for the messenger to turn to grey .

“Jackpot . ”

It wasn’t an elite monster, but it dropped an amount of experience that was similar to that of a direct vampire? The messenger was an ungrateful monster who didn’t drop any items, but it was still lovable .

“I should stay here until the National Competition . There is a reason why the kids didn’t leave here . . . ”

Grid needed to get stronger . As such, he decided to go hunting . Grid planned to raise his stats and resources by focusing on leveling up, which he had been neglecting for a while .

“Summon Tiramet!” Grid shouted, and a vampire emerged from a dark-colored belt . Tiramet was manly, unlike the usual neutral appearance and long hair of the vampires . His sharp eyes and ruffled hair gave a fierce impression .

“Um . . . ” Unlike his impression, Tiramet was timid . He prepared for an attack as soon as he was summoned . It was due to the incident where he had come to the outside world after a long time, only to be killed by the yangban Garam .

“Hey . It’s okay . Don’t be scared . There are no enemies . ” Grid patted the shoulder of Tiramet, who flinched like he was a scared cat . Then he and gave Tiramet several items .

There was a total of 23 items to choose from in the unique rated production methods . Grid chose items that would strengthen Tiramet’s advantages and even enhanced them using the remaining enhancement stones .

“The shoes and gloves are epic rated, but please use them for now . I will recreate them when I get Emous’ gloves and shoes .

“I understand . . . ” Tiramet was different from Iyarugt . He equipped the items and stood upright beside Grid . It was a compliant attitude .

‘Indeed . I’ve known this since seeing the status window . ’ Grid smiled .

As Grid had expected, Tiramet was the perfect pet . In the case of Iyarugt, he had the stats and the nature of an NPC, while Tiramet had completely changed to the nature of a pet . Like pets, his summoning time was indefinite . This was why Grid greatly appreciated Tiramet . Right now, it was difficult because of Tiramet’s depression and low level . Still, if he hunted with Grid, then his growth potential was high . There was plenty of room for him to be the best partner after Noe .

“Please serve me actively . ”

“ . . . I understand . I am honored to serve the master who has the Qualification of a Blood King . ”

‘Oh, this is great . ’

Grid discovered why Tiramet’s attitude was compliant . It wasn’t just because Tiramet was a pet . He was also attracted to Grid’s title . It was very positive news . Earl Elfin Stone was the most powerful noble that Grid had dealt with . Grid felt excited at the thought that he would one day summon Elfin Stone and have that guy be loyal to him .

‘Iyarugt isn’t a problem . ’

In the meantime, Grid had entrusted Iyarugt to Peak Sword . Iyarugt’s poor speech was somewhat annoying, but the main reason was that Iyarugt’s sheath maximized Peak Sword’s power . Grid had asked Peak Sword to raise Iyarugt by using it until Peak Sword obtained a better weapon . This was a win-win situation for Grid and Peak Sword .

“Okay . Let’s go . ”

Grid summoned the Overgeared Skeletons, Noe, and Randy and started the full-scale exploration . As Grid, Tiramet, the Overgeared Skeletons, Noe, and Randy headed deeper in the labyrinth, more and more messengers attacked the party .

Galgunos—he was only the servant of a great demon, but he was a powerful lich . The statues in this temple released endless amounts of demonic energy, and Galgunos’ messengers exerted an explosive attack power . They used the demonic energy of the temple as a resource and unleashed attack skills . However, the firepower wasn’t enough to neutralize Tiramet who had become overgeared .

[Your pet ‘Tiramet’ has recovered from some of the damage received . ]

[Your pet ‘Tiramet’ has recovered from some of the damage received . ]

[Your pet ‘Tiramet’ has recovered from some of the damag . . . ]

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Link!”

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Wave!”

Tiramet was tanking while Grid and Randy attacked the messengers . The messengers were hit hard, but they were fearless and tried to counterattack . However, they were interrupted by the Overgeared Skeletons who shot the silver thread from a distance . Additionally, when there was a chance, they approached and broke bones, restricting the messengers’ actions .

“Punish the intruders!”

The monsters’ fast recovery speed exceeded Grid’s expectations . While Grid’s party were busy dealing with 20 messengers, new enemies appeared in the rear . They were messengers wearing robes, not sheet armor .

“This is really . . . ” Grid detected danger . It was as he had expected . The messengers in robes were magicians . They chanted spells, and red magic spheres were formed everywhere with the attack spells aiming at Grid’s party . It wasn’t a big threat to Grid, but it was different for Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons . Grid thought that Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons would have their summoning canceled .

‘I wanted to raise their levels as much as possible . . . ’

Then dozens of huge fireballs came flying . Grid wanted to intercept them with Transcended Link, but he soon realized it was pointless . An explosion would occur as soon as the fireballs and Transcended Link hit each other . Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons would have no defense against the splash damage which would occur at that time . Lauel had said that in order to deal with the ‘intermediate bosses’, Grid shouldn’t waste Blackening or Quick Movements .

This was the moment when Grid gave up on Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons .

[Your pet ‘Noe’ has leveled up . ]

[Noe has reached level 100 and acquired a new skill . ]

This notification popped up the moment one of the messengers being attacked by Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons died .

“Nyaang!” At the rear of the party, Noe faced the flying magic and suddenly raised his paws . A lightning curtain appeared in front of Noe . It was a powerful shield that blocked all the spells shot by the messengers .

“Huh?”

It completely destroyed dozens of spells . . . ? Grid was more confused than the messengers . Laughter rang out in the midst of the silence, “Nyahahahat! This is a memphis, the best demonic beast of hell . . . Nyang . . . ”

The situation was reversed again by Noe’s actions . Grid entrusted the messengers in front to Tiramet and shot to the rear, using Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Link, to quickly neutralize the magicians . After that, Grid took care of all the messengers attached to Tiramet before confirming Noe’s status window . Grid was curious about Noe’s new skill .

[Become Majestic (SSS)]

[Hell’s best demonic beast, a memphis, has pushed the power of the thunder stone to the limit . A shield of lightning that blocks all attacks will be created for two seconds .

Cooldown Time: 30 minutes

* The user will become drained for one minute after using the skill . ]

“I love you, Noe . ” Grid’s words were sincere . There was love in Grid’s actions as he hugged Noe tightly and rubbed his face against the fur . Noe purred like he was happy . After that . . .

“Grid, I also raised my level . You should hug me as well . ”

“Y-Yes, Randy . I’ll do it once the transformation is released . ”

Clack! Clack clack clack!

“Overgeared Skeletons, I also congratulate you . ”

Grid moved through the temple labyrinth rapidly . His speed was at least four times faster than Pon, Regas, and Chris who were soloing at different locations in the labyrinth . The experience gauge of Noe, who had evolved and had his level reset, and Tiramet rose quickly in just half an hour . Grid’s experience gauge was the same .

It was a moment of regret for the experts who had been talking about the fact that Grid had fallen to the 80th rank in the past year .
