Overgeared Chapter 552:
'The Red Phoenix Bow is the strongest weapon . ’
Grid thought this . Was it because he always did his best and wanted to be rewarded for his efforts? No, his faith didn’t come from such a vague thing . It was an absolute conviction because of several reasons .
‘The first evidence . ’
The quality of the design was the best ever . The original version of the Red Phoenix Bow was likely to be myth rated .
‘The second evidence . ’
The quality of the materials used in the production was the best ever . The white phosphorus wood and Red Phoenix Breath . In particular, the material called the Red Phoenix Breath was likely to be equivalent to adamantium . Adamantium was a mineral that was collected from the world of the gods . In other words, the Red Phoenix Breath was a by-product of a **** . It was a ‘part of a **** . ’
‘The third evidence . ’
Grid’s concentration was at its highest level . The effect of the Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience had activated four times over the last three days . It was the first time since he became Pagma’s Descendant .
‘Thanks to the Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience, I’m not tired at all and can devote myself to working without a break . ’
It was a feast of the best conditions! They overlapped and would obtain the best results .
Ttiring~
[You can no longer smelt the Red Phoenix Breath . It is already in the best form . ]
[Strengthened Red Phoenix Breath]
The aura of the Red Phoenix enhanced by the legendary blacksmith Grid .
Increases fire resistance by 40% even when carrying it in the inventory .
It can be used to infuse items with the powerful aura of the Red Phoenix .
However, it can only be attached to items with a strong fire attribute .
Weight: 2
The strengthened Red Phoenix Breath contained a stronger flame than before . The flames in the ruby rose like they wanted to run wild .
‘Now I can make the bow . ’
Grid made good use of the extra time to heat up the furnace . He used all his knowledge to handle the white phosphorus wood . Now it was only necessary to add the additional materials such as the minotaur horns .
‘It’s okay . The kids will be able to hold on well even without me . I don’t have to worry and just focus on doing my best . ’
Grid wasn’t aware of it, but he was able to exert a higher concentration than usual in the production of this item because of his different mindset . His colleagues were in a crisis and he couldn’t help . Grid had to suppress his anxiety and nerves from imagining the worst situation and his concentration naturally rose during this process . He used a variety of tools during the production .
Chiiiik!
“ . . . ”
Grid stared at the water vapor that was generated by cooling the heated white phosphorus wood in the water . It shone firmly without yielding . It looked like the starlight in the night sky .
[The Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience skill has been activated . ]
“ . . . Good . ”
The Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience skill once again activated! Grid smiled as sharp as a knife as his fatigue disappeared and his concentration stayed at the peak . The blacksmiths of the White Hammer smithy felt infinite awe as they watched Grid tirelessly work on the item for the fourth day in a row .
The next evening .
[The Legendary Blacksmith’s Breath has been activated . ]
Grid received a welcome notification window as he entered the final stages of the production . He attached the Red Phoenix Breath to the finished bow . Then a red aura appeared around the white bow . Grid prayed for the message ‘a legendary item has been completed . ’
‘Please!’
Give him a legendary rating!
. . . It might be too greedy . Maybe he should pray for a unique rating .
‘Then I can use Item Upgrade to make it a legendary rating . ’
The moment that Grid’s mind weakened .
Paaaat!
There was a gorgeous sight as the Red Phoenix Bow completely accepted the essence of the Red Phoenix, the white bow turning an orange-red color . It was an intense color like blazing fire . Then . . .
[An unexpected situation has occurred!]
“ . . . ?”
Unexpected situation? A chill went down the spine of the expectant Grid .
'What the **** is this situation?’
Grid had been hit in the back of the head while playing the game more than once or twice . Grid’s expectations were always betrayed . Thus, he assumed the worst . However, it was the opposite .
[The rating of the item you produced is higher than legendary . ]
[It is the result of breaking the limits due to the production method, the materials, and the maker’s commitment . ]
“ . . . Ah!!”
Grid was reminded of something . It was during the pope election episode . During the process of understanding and recreating the myth rated item Lifael’s Spear, Grid’s blacksmithing technique was upgraded from ‘Witness of God’s Weapon’ to ‘Understanding of God’s Weapon . ’ Thanks to that, Grid had a very low probability of producing a myth rated (reproduction) item . But the odds were very low and had never happened before .
‘I wasn’t expecting this!’
At this moment, a myth reproduction was born . Grid was filled with a thrill that was beyond joy . The result far exceeded his expectations, causing excitement to flow like a tidal wave . But the result was different . The item made by Grid wasn’t a myth reproduction .
[Congratulations!]
[You are the first player to produce a myth rated item!]
[The title, ‘Watched by the Gods’ has been acquired . ]
[(Understanding of Gods’ Weapons) Legendary Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship Skill has evolved into (Seeing the Gods’ Techniques) Legendary Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship Skill . ]
“Wow . ”
Grid’s eyes widened . It wasn’t a reproduction, but a pure myth rating . Grid was so surprised that his heart stopped . His head was refreshed . Grid looked at the updated skill information .
[(Seeing the Gods’ Techniques) Legendary Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship Skill Lv . 8]
There is a high probability of producing rare~ epic rated items .
There is a certain probability of creating unique rated items .
There is a rare probability of creating legendary rated items .
If certain conditions are met, there is a very rare probability of making a myth reproduction or myth rated item .
* All stats of a production item will increase by 21% .
* When myth rated items are produced, all stats will permanently rise by +10 and reputation throughout the continent will rise by +1,000 .
* Something special will occur with every three myth rated items created . (Currently 1/3)
“ . . . ”
Grid was happy, but frowned after a moment . The updated skill gave Grid a new penalty!
“No, dammit . . . Legendary items don’t give me any stats now?”
No, wasn’t this too severe? It didn’t make sense that he would be treated like this when making legendary items . The price for making a myth rated item was too high . Grid’s shoulders slumped .
'The future is uneasy . . . ’
Something special would happen every time he made three myth grade items . Why did he feel like this might be a huge penalty?
"This **** Korean game . ”
It was too stingy to players . They didn’t treat players well who paid a full fee every month . It was the typical attitude of a Korean game company . Grid couldn’t confirm the details of the completed Red Phoenix Bow when he heard a disturbance .
“D-Demon . . . !”
"Pointy-eared demon!”
“ . . . ?”
There was an uproar from the entrance to the smithy . The White Hammer blacksmiths cried out fearfully .
‘Pointy-eared demon?’
What type of monsters would scare the blacksmiths? Grid armed himself with the Sword Ghost and exited the smithy . Then he was shocked .
“Sticks!”
The pointy-eared demon that the blacksmiths were scared of . It was Sage Sticks . The person Grid had been waiting for! By the way . . .
"Why are you being treated as a demon?”
An elf . He was a noble existence . Elves were those who loved nature and peace, and were hostile to demonkin . They were historically honored and loved by people . It was strange that the blacksmiths of the White Hammer smithy would call him a demon .
Sticks reached out to Grid .
"I can’t speculate, but the East Continent might have a difficult situation that is hard to untangle . Let’s go back . ”
Now wasn’t the time to think about the East Continent . His colleagues were the top priority . Grid nodded and grabbed Sticks’ hand . Then the two people disappeared with a flash of light .
***
"A stronghold of a small kingdom is at this level . . . ?”
The Yak Guild that was one of the Seven Guilds . Bubat was the master of a small territory . Therefore, he was able to see how magnificent the high walls of Patrian were .
‘The walls should be at least level 8 . ’
The durability was at least one million . It was natural that it would be difficult to scratch the walls with a level 100 or level 200 magic or skill bombardment . In order to break down the walls, at least a third advancement magician or high level siege weapon was needed .
‘If only I could have one of these fortresses . ’
The Yak Guild had considerable manpower and capital, and they’d spent five months raising the wall by one level . Of course, every time the level of the wall increased, the amount of capital and experience required for the next level up would increase . In other words, a player couldn’t build level 8 walls .
‘Grid got it for free . . . Tsk . ’
He noticed that Earl Ashur was on Grid’s side since the Reidan invasion . Grid had been raising Earl Ashur since the earliest days and consequently obtained this great fortress .
‘I don’t want to admit it . . . ’
Grid was a very wide character . He wasn’t the same as other high rankers who relied on force or skills .
‘Being able to capture the hearts of NPCs . This is Grid’s greatest strength!’
If Grid was left alone, he would proceed forward without limits . Putting personal grudges aside, Bubat had an obligation to keep in check any high ranking competitors . But this wasn't an easy task . It was because there were too few third advancement classes in the Eternal Kingdom .
‘We have to use the siege weapons well . ’
Eternal’s army had 12 catapults . But they weren’t effective . Patrian had prominent magicians such as Zednos, Laella, and Euphemina . Their magic easily neutralized the catapults’ attacks . In particular, the girl called Euphemina was a problem .
She used the best defense spell with the right attributes .
‘This monster . . . Did she obtain a legendary great magician class?’
Bubat clicked his tongue and turned his gaze to the leader of the Eternal army . Thousands of infantry tried to climb the walls of Patrian, but they couldn’t deal with the pouring magic, arrows, and stones . In particular, the Overgeared unit led by Regas . They ran out of the castle for a while and when they did, Eternal’s vanguard was severely damaged .
‘Fortunately, Jishuka is tired . Now that she’s on a break, it’s time to get rid of Regas . ’
If they defeated Regas’ group, it would be very easy to climb Patrian’s walls . Bubat believed this and looked at Jeff and Ralph .
"We’re finally going to act?”
"My body was becoming stiff . ”
"We can’t just watch . ”
The damage dealers of Overgeared were busy destroying or keeping in check the siege weapons . It was a safe environment where Bubat, Jeff, and Ralph could finally show their true colors .
“The target is Regas!”
"Kill all those who interfere!”
Bubat, Jeff, and Ralph guided their guilds forward . They killed any Eternal soldiers who blocked the road without hesitation and reached Regas . Regas screamed while fighting with Eternal’s soldiers .
“Avoid it!"
The Overgeared members who were part of the Silver Knights Guild . It was the moment when the 30 of them heard Regas’ call and tried to respond .
Kurururung!
There was the sound of thunder and the ground erupted . It was an earthquake caused by Bubat who was considered the best initiator .
“Aaaack!”
“Hiik!”
The average level of the Overgeared members in Regas’ unit was 230 . They couldn’t resist the wide area CC used by Bubat and floated in the air . Regas barely escaped the CC and felt strained . Bubat grabbed the faces of two of the Overgeared members floating in the air .
Bubat smiled widely .
Kwajajak!
Bubat grabbed the faces of two Overgeared members and slammed them into the ground . It was the signal for the reversal .
