Overgeared Chapter 48:
Chapter 48
Duplicator, a person who analyzed the skills of others, duplicated them and then could use the skills with no conditions . Duplicators could enjoy all types of benefits depending on the skills they duplicated . It could be anything they wanted . It could be called the most effective of all classes in Satisfy .
They were also a specialist in combat . Depending on the skill combination, it was possible to take on a boss raid alone, become the strongest assassin or even fight alone against an army . A Duplicator was the closest class to being called the strongest .
However, a Duplicator also had fatal disadvantages .
Firstly, it could only duplicate a skill three times a day . Secondly, the duplicated skill only had a single use . Thirdly, she only nine basic skills, none of which were combat skills . Fourthly, the basic physical abilities of a magician were poor .
In other words, it meant Euphemina was the strongest when she duplicated a lot of skills, but the weakest when she had few skills . And right now, Euphemina was in her weakest mode .
“Its ruined, said Euphemina, her complexion pale .
Grid headed to the fourth floor, leaving her alone on the third floor . While she had defeated hundreds of soldiers that kept appearing, she had used most of her skills in exchange . To be precise, there were three fire magic spells left . However, it wasnt possible to use them because fire magic was likely to cause an explosion .
In such a situation, four knights appeared as if they had been waiting and surrounded her .
Im screwed…
There were no signs of Grid coming back . There was a massive explosion on the fourth floor, so maybe the worst had happened and Grid died .
If he survived and rescued Huroi, can I guarantee that he will come back here to rescue me?’
Maybe Grid had already escaped alone from the prison? The knights aimed their swords at Euphemina, who stood idly like her soul had escaped .
You are a ridiculously strong woman who killed more than 500 soldiers alone . Do you have the title of great magician?
Fortunately, the knights didnt dare attack Euphemina . She had killed hundreds of soldiers, so it was natural for the knights to be afraid of her . However, the pointless confrontation didnt last long .
“Now the only troops left in the castle are the lords bodyguards . Since there are no forces left to block the exit, Grid might escape while we are **** here .
Is there even a chance? Didnt Leo go down to the fourth floor? Leo has probably already caught up and will happily kill Grid .
“The lords comfort is at stake . We have to consider and guard against the worst possibility .
Yes… Then lets hurry . It isnt honorable, but I am afraid we will have to fight four against one .
The four knights made a decision and rushed at Euphemina at the same time . Now Euphemina was forced to make a decision .
I cant be still .
Euphemina took out a gold dice . It was the Rolling Dice skill that she got for winning the item making game against Grid .
[Rolling Dice]
Roll a dice and a phenomenon will occur, depending on the number that is rolled .
* If the target is yourself or an ally: There will be a beneficial effect if the number 4 or higher is rolled . There will be a harmful effect if the number rolled is 3 or lower .

Skill Mana Cost: 1,000
Skill Cooldown Time: 3,000 seconds
What if she rolled the dice and the situation became worse?
If the situation becomes too bad, I will use the fire magic .
Euphemina didnt intend to die alone . She grumbled but there were still no signs of Grid returning . She couldnt imagine how but she would later get revenge on Grid in a terrible way .
At that moment!
“These knights ganging up on a weak… no, this woman isnt weak but still… There is no difference between being gangsters .
G…rid?
Euphemina and the knights gazed in the direction of the voice . Grid and Huroi were standing next to each other .
Ah…!
Eupheminas face brightened at Grids emergence . She thought that Grid was human trash without any loyalty, but he actually wasnt the worst person . He came back as promised .
Really pretty .
Eupheminas smile was as beautiful as a flower in full bloom, so Grids heart couldnt help pounding .
‘Lets not be deceived by outward appearances . She just has a beautiful outside that is covering the dirty inside! So dont run wild, my **** heart!
The knights struggled to maintain their composure as they stared at Grid .
How is that guy here…? Leo, who was called Northern Nova, was killed by a person like you?
“I dont know who the Northern Nova is, but that young brat called Leo was easy to handle . One against one . One . Against . One . I killed him . Huhuhut!
You!
The faces of the knights distorted after hearing that their colleague was killed . Grid didnt feel fear as he faced them . It was because he believed in something .
“Yes, you are angry so what are you going to do? Do you think any of you can touch me?
Ugh!
The knights flinched . Listening to this, wasnt Grid good enough to destroy Leo? They were briefly off guard because Grid looked like trash, but he wasnt easy to deal with .
Euphemina felt admiration as she watched the knights stepping back from Grid .
Making the knights back off with just a few words… How high is his level?’
Monsters and NPCs tended to shrink back from opponents more than 30 levels higher than them . Therefore, Euphemina misunderstood and thought that Grids level was much higher than the knights .
Meanwhile, Grid kept talking while approaching the knights . “Hey guys, if you dont want to die a dog like death like Leo, get out of the way . This is your only chance to get away .
This guy…! A knight was filled with anger and tried to rush forward . But the other knights stopped him
“Don’t fall for his provocation . I know your skills but you shouldnt face him alone . It is probably a trap .
“Arent you overreacting? Think about it calmly . That **** class is a blacksmith! Blacksmiths cant be that strong!
But Leo hasnt come back . I cant tell if he is a good actor or not, but he is clearly someone to be wary of .
“Kuoh…!”
The knights were tense because they were thinking too much, while Grid continued walking forward . The knights backed away with every step Grid took .
Huroi was thrilled when he witnessed the tremendous sight of Grid overwhelming the four knights alone .
Truly amazing… Grids outward appearance might seem insignificant but he is actually a tremendous high-level user who made the knights tremble in fear . The other day I saw him in the smithy and treated him as a comedian . I am ashamed of my eyes .
From Euphemina, to Huroi, to the knights! At a time when all of them were greatly mistaken about Grid, Grid was smiling with satisfaction .
With Eupheminas skills, cant she get rid of these knights at any time?
Thats right . In fact, the reason Grid was so confident right now was because there was the existence called Euphemina . Grid had no doubts that Euphemina could handle all of them .
Thump, thump .
Grid kept moving forward, while the knights backing up became increasingly anxious . Then they reached the stairs leading up to the second floor . At this point, the knights made up their minds .
What are we doing? We are honorable knights, so why are we scared of a person who escaped from jail? This is the shame of a lifetime!
This might cause harm to the lord . I have to defend this place, for the lord .
He isnt a simple blacksmith if he managed to kill Leo . It is a matter of pride now . I wont back up anymore .
‘Leo was alone, but there are four of us . We cant lose .
The knights decided to no longer back off . This caused Grid to stop moving as well .
What? Do you want to fight? Wont you regret this?
The knights gripped their swords and yelled . We will fight! I cant tolerate letting a criminal like you escape!
“…Im not a criminal . Crazy **** .
Grid became really irritated . In the first place, wasnt he unfairly framed? Originally, he shouldve won the prize for winning the blacksmith game . Then he was taken to prison and unfairly suffered!
Grid angrily shouted . Euphemina! Show these guys! Use your magic . Take it away!
Euphemina made a surprised expression . Right now… it is a little… Cant you handle it directly?
What? It is impossible .
Stop joking . Cant you beat them with your skills?
What are you saying? You should be the one fighting, not me .
“No, why are you refusing to fight now?
Grid explained to Euphemina, “I cant win against them .
Dont lie . You were able to get rid of the Northern Nova by yourself!
No, that isnt…
Somehow, the conversation was strange . The faces of Grid and Euphemina gradually stiffened, while the knights completely lost their hesitation and attacked .
…Dammit!
It was like a teleportation move . The knight Rupert used his patented Dash skill and immediately reached Grids side, aiming a sword at him . Grid was completely caught off guard and it seemed like he would be pierced by the sword . Just before Ruperts sword hit Grid, Huroi pushed him to the side and was stabbed instead .
“……!”
Everyone thought that Huroi would die . Huroi was already in a bad condition and he wasnt wearing any armor . At that moment, a strange thing happened .
What is this…? Urghh!
Rupert was astonished . This was because his sword, which shouldve pierced Hurois abdomen, was blocked by it . It was like stabbing at steel . His wrist was broken . On the other hand, Huroi was fine . The person who attacked was injured, while the person who was attacked was fine .
Euphemina asked with confusion . “What is with that guy? Why cant the knights sword pierce him?
Grid couldnt reply . “Well… I dont know…
“Why are you answering so half-heartedly? Why are you running around to save someone you dont know? Stop joking around and just tell me the truth for once!
No… I really dont know…
High-level martial artists had a defense skill called Impenetrable Skin . But even Impenetrable Skin wasnt able to block the sword of a knight with just the body . It was clear that Huroi had some defensive ability that went beyond Impenetrable Skin .
Huroi spoke during the silence . “I will tie up their feet . You two should use this gap to run away .
The reason why Huroi was able to block the knights attack with his body . It was thanks to the skill given by the title One who Overcomes Hardships .
[Strong Will]
Resists any attack for 10 seconds after using the skill .
Skill Mana Cost: 200
Skill Cooldown Time: 9,000 seconds
The waiting time to reuse it was around 1 . 5 hours, but its performance was clearly great . It was a priceless skill acquired after enduring and overcoming a hellish trial . And Grid was the one who saved him from **** . Huroi already vowed to pay back this favor for the rest of my life .
After that, Huroi determined that he would sacrifice himself for Grid . He wanted Grid to escape safely through the gap while the knights were unharmed .
Huroi… An ordinary person would hesitate to leave a fellow colleague but… “Buy as much time as possible so that we can escape safely .
“Ill see you next time .
Grid and Euphemina werent emotional people . They immediately left this place and Huroi was left alone .
This…!
The knights tried to chase Grid but Huroi blocked the way . He opened his mouth with an expression of determination to protect Grid .
“I have no thoughts of letting you leave, you #*&!($#@ . This **** $# .
……?
Huroi was an orator so words that couldnt be repeated emerged from his mouth . The knights suffered a profound psychological blow because of Hurois words, which were more abusive than anything theyve heard before .
This was Hurois Spiteful Tongue skill . Huroi attacked the knights while they were confused and their stats were down .
Unbreakable Justice!
It was one of the two skills acquired from his second class, Apostle of Justices Partner . It was his ultimate attack skill that dealt damage that was 300% of his attack power .
Peeeong!
After Hurois fist struck Ruperts face, the shock wave reached the knights standing around Rupert . The sound of a huge blow echoed through the underground prison, causing the knights to reflexively scream in pain .
Kkack!
But it was just a reflexive reaction .
…Huh?
The knights strangely couldnt feel any pain . It was a natural phenomenon . In the first place, an orator had poor physical abilities and he currently wasnt equipped with any weapons . A 300% increase in an orators damage still wasnt enough to deal a blow to armored knights . The difference was too big .
Huroi accepted it calmly . It is as I expected . This is a useless skill to the current me .
……
It only took a few minutes for Huroi to be captured by the knights and locked in solitary confinement again . But Huroi didnt care . He hadnt been able to log out for 50 hours in reality . Therefore, he was exhausted and wanted to log out and rest .
Since the quest was clear, there was no penalty for logging out .
Based on this situation, it will soon be over for Winstons lord… I can easily escape from the prison after I get some sleep and log in again . Then Grid, I wish you good fortune .
So, Huroi logged out .
