Overgeared - Chapter 373

Chapter 373
Chapter 373



‘I haven’t grown enough . ’

Grid’s total health in his blackened state was slightly less than 30,000 . Tiramet could kill him in just 3~4 hits . But Grid had endured it . The attacks with a relatively easy orbit were directly blocked and avoided, while he relied on the God Hands and Randy for the attacks that were difficult to cope with .

Grid’s self-evaluation of his control and ability to use items .

‘There’s still a long way to go . ’

He wasn’t satisfied . It was a fact that the enemies he would face in the future would continue to be strong .

‘Is there a definitive way to become stronger? No matter how much control I develop, it’s impossible to not get hit at all during a battle . ’

What if he made an item that received hits?

‘A simple example is a damage reflective item . ’

Or, ‘Armor with a black hole? I will drag the enemies that hit me to another dimension . ’ It was fun to imagine fanciful things . For Grid, imagination was a type of power .

Why?

‘I have the Item Creation skill . ’

There were many items in Satisfy that had functions that Grid didn’t know yet . Grid’s imagination meant he had infinite possibilities . Grid believed in his own potential and grasped the Rune of Darkness .



[Rune of Darkness]

Bound Item

It is permanently preserved in your inventory . Trading, dropping, or destroying it is impossible .

‘My survivability is getting higher . ’

Grid observed the Rune of Darkness and came up with one idea .

‘It would be ideal to be a pure tanker . ’

There were many damage dealers in Overgeared, but few tankers . The only tankers to be relied on were Vantner and Toban .

‘If I become a tanker, the synergy with the guild will explode…’

He imagined himself armed with heavy armor and shields . Then he frowned .

‘…Then Pagma’s Swordsmanship will be useless . ’

Grid was someone with the strongest attack skills . It was a waste of talent to turn into a pure tanker . But when he thought about it more, it wasn’t the case .

‘No, can’t I swap between items?’



What if he had an offensive set and defensive set that could be swapped if necessary?

‘It would be easier to cope with a sudden situation like the Tiramet raid . ’

The appearance of the concentrating Grid was mature and gentle . Yura’s gem-like eyes were wet as she watched him .

“It’s dirty . ”

“It’s been a long time . ”

The east side of the first floor of the castle, where towering pillars spread out like a forest . The irritation of Pon and Vantner were soaring . They were angry at the tricks of Ran, the vampire baron who attacked through the darkness and the pillars .

“The terrain is too much of a disadvantage . I would rather break it all down . ”

Crunch .

Pon greatly twisted the arm holding the spear . His muscles swelled up as he gathered his strength .

“Crasher Spear . ”

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

It destroyed everything in its path . It was a powerful attack that would even make the allies afraid . The spear cut from top to bottom, causing the towers to collapse . Then the shadow hiding behind the pillars came into view .

Vantner didn’t miss this opportunity .

“Sun Guard!”

Fla~sh!

Vantner’s shield shone like the sun and drove away the darkness . The light rays were so bright that it was reminiscent of a nightclub . Ran no longer had a place to hide and fired magic bullets at the two people .

“It isn’t a big deal!”

The magic was laughable compared to Elfin Stone . Vantner blocked the magic bullets with his shield, while Pon flew through the dust and tried to aim his spear… But Vantner ran ahead and interfered with Pon’s path .

Kung!

“You damn pig!”

Pon staggered as he was hit by Vantner’s massive body . Vantner also cried out .

“You idiot! There is a path in front of you . Why run towards me?”

“Why do I need to explain each reason individually? You ignorant bastard . ”

Pon and Vantner growled at each other . Thanks to this, Ran passed the crisis and was able to escape through the pillars in the rear that hadn’t yet collapsed .

‘I’m glad that their teamwork is a mess . ’

Ran thought with relief and fired magic from behind a pillar .

Jiing .

Peng!

The red flash broke the ceiling and the falling debris restrained Pon and Vantner’s actions . Ran moved back through the darkness and aimed sharp nails at Pon’s neck .



Puok!

The blood red nails pierced a hole in Pon’s neck .

“Puhaha! You were hit!”

Vantner laughed and taunted Pon . The journey of the two people was long and harsh .



***

[The blacksmith who became a legend can appraise items with an excellent discerning eye . If a hidden feature exists in the target item, it will be found . ]

[A hidden function doesn’t exist . ]



Grid appraised Alex’s gun . He was somewhat disappointed with the results and moved quickly with Yura, Sticks, and Bini .

“Over there is the closest . ”

Sticks borrowed the power of the earth and wind elementals to figure out where a battle was occurring . He also allowed Grid to enter the vampire city, so he was helpful in many ways .

‘But he didn’t give me an item…’

Yura got Alex’s gun for free . Grid couldn’t help feeling a bit jealous .

“… Eh?”

Grid moved through the door that Sticks indicated and made an absurd expression . It was the same for Yura who followed behind him . The reason?

“You useless octopus head!”

“I would’ve died earlier if I wasn’t a tanker!”

“If you weren’t there, the vampire baron would be killed!”

“…”

There was evidence of destruction through the room . There were still dozens of pillars left and Pon and Vantner were fighting each other . It was in front of the enemy .

“Hohohohut!”

“Kuk!”

“How rotten!”

Because they were grabbing each other’s collars, Pon and Vantner weren’t free . The two men allowed the female vampire to attack and retreat behind the pillars, causing Grid to feel anger .

“I won’t say anything about the personal relationship between the two of you . But…”

Step, step .

Grid moved and used Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Restraint . Ran, who was flying to the new target Grid like a moth to the fire, stopped in the air .

‘What?’

Ran’s body started sweating as Grid activated Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Pinnacle, then followed up with Kill .

“Kyaaak!”

Ran let out a terrible scream and rushed towards Pon and Vantner . She was released from Restraint and attempted to hide in the darkness, but Yura didn’t allow it .

“Purification Bullet . ”

Tatatang! Tang tang!

The bullets made from blue mana turned Ran’s body into a beehive .

“Linked Kill . ”

Puok!

Puk puk puk!

Grid neatly finished it off .



[Vampire Baron Ran has been destroyed . ]

[525,810,470 experience has been acquired . ]

[Two Blessed Weapon Enhancement Stones have been acquired . ]

[Seven weapon enhancement stones have been acquired . ]

[Skillbook: Dark Fairy Tale has been acquired . ]



Swaaah .

Blood poured out and a black smoke rose . In the meantime, Grid sent a very sharp and intimidating look towards Pon and Vantner .

“In the future, fight in the appropriate time and place . Think about the pain that your colleagues are going through while you unnecessarily waste time here . ”

It wasn’t an exaggeration . Grid ran here from the Behen Archipelago for his colleagues . He couldn’t stand Pon and Vantner, who ignored their colleagues because of personal feelings .

“…I’m sorry . ”

“I will be careful in the future . ”

Pon and Vantner bowed and apologized . They understood the reason why Grid was angry and acknowledged their mistakes, and were also aware of Grid as their leader . Grid reached out to the two people who couldn’t lift their heads . Was it an offer to shake hands so that they weren’t too discouraged? Pon and Vantner interpreted Grid’s gesture in this way .

“Lend me a spear . ”

“…?”

Grid made an unpredictable demand .



***

A large hall on the first floor of the castle . Faker was struggling in a place where chandeliers hung like ornaments .

Kuuong!

The vampire baron, Mountain . He wore unusually heavy armor and used a heavy weapon for a vampire . The ground shook every time he moved, threatening Faker’s sense of balance .

Chaaeng!

Faker, whose posture collapsed and was slow to react, blocked the mace with his dagger . Faker used the recoil that occurred when the weapons collided to float in the air like a feather, while Mountain reached out a hand .

“Blood Binding . ”

Kwarururung!

Blood chains rose up and surrounded Faker’s body . But it was merely Faker’s clone .

Peeng!

The chains exploded and the remnants of Faker’s clone filled the air .

Suuk .

Faker took advantage of the swiftness of his class and appeared behind Mountain . He swung at Mountain’s thick neck . Faker aimed precisely at the gap in the armor joints .

Puk!

Puk puk!

As the number of hits increase, the damage built up . The blow, that caused a deadly blow to Elfin Stone, pierced Mountain’s neck in succession . No emotions appeared in Faker’s eyes as blood soaked his face .

“You rat bastard . . !”

Mountain shook from the shock and released magic power in every direction . Thanks to that, Faker flew back . A large axe flew at him as he tried to regain his balance in the air .

‘I have to allow this . ’

If he used ‘Flash’ here, his mana and skills linkage would become twisted . It happened when Faker was preparing for the shock .

“Spear Shot . ”

Kurururu!

Peeng!

A silver-white spear flew from the entrance and penetrated Mountain’s head . Thanks to that, Faker was able to avoid the large axe whose obit was changed, and he moved his face towards the entrance .

“Thank you, Pon… Grid?”

He never imagined that Grid would be the person who saved him . Grid waved at Faker, who had a rare look of shock in his eyes .

“To be driven on the defensive, isn’t this too bad?”

Faker was someone who was often beside Grid . He was reminded of this and shrugged at Grid .

“…But with you, I can be extraordinary . ”

It was a signal .

“These damn humans!”

Mountain’s aggro shifted to Grid and Grid handled it as always . Thanks to him blocking Mountain, Faker could move like he had wings on his back . Once Vantner and Yura stepped in, Mountain quickly became scarred .

“My spear . My spear…”

Pon was busy reclaiming his spear .
