Overgeared Chapter 1056:
“This is the last island . ”
He revealed himself as the 10th great demon .
“My name is Leraje . I am one of the 33 rulers who control **** . ”
Leraje covered half of his face with a deep hat . The red lips made a sharp contrast to the pale skin .
“I am a great ruler who combines power and strategy . The proof is that I easily made it to the 66th island . Huhut . ”
““ . . . ””
It had been a long time since I met with others . Maybe it had been a few decades . However, I wasn’t happy . I was already bored and lazy .
The great demon was constantly talking . “My specialty is to struggle . I have a habit of winning against anyone I compete with . The evidence is that I easily took care of all the previous legends guarding the other islands . Demon Slayer Alex who made great demons tremble? Even he couldn’t be my opponent . Huhuhut . ”
““ . . . ””
“Hrmm . . . It is unreasonable to try and talk to a death knight who doesn’t have an ego . It is no fun . Still, I am looking forward to it . Based on the sword hanging from your waist, you must be Sword Saint Muller . Didn’t you seal several great demons, including Hell Gao? I have always wanted to meet you . I will use this opportunity to prove that I am better than Hell Gao . ”
““I’m not Muller . ””
Who would dare to mistake my identity?
As I opened my mouth, Leraje said, “Hoh, a death knight is talking? Yes, you aren’t Muller? What are you called?”
““Madra . I was king of Lubana . ””
“Madra . . . ? I have heard it a few times . How disappointing . I was hoping to meet Muller on the last island . . . The final battle will be worthless as well . ”
““ . . . ””
My anger rose . Pagma, you resurrected me because you are afraid of this guy?
““200,000 Army Crushing Sword . ””
“ . . . !”
I couldn’t find any meaning in this second life . I had no motivation and couldn’t move since I was trapped alone on the island . I stood in place and looked up at the sky, but my skills weren’t rusty . Fear filled the eyes of the arrogant Leraje .
***
It had happened before Grid learned 200,000 Army Swordsmanship . The past that he viewed in Madra’s diary stopped here in the middle of the seventh chapter .
However, things were different now . Grid, who had achieved level 399 and acquired 200,000 Army Swordsmanship, was able to read the back pages .
***
“Cough! Cough! Death . . . I am going to die from a death knight . . . !”
““A person who can’t stop this much is a loser . ””
“You said you were the king of Lubana? You . . . ! You aren’t Muller . How are you capable of this swordsmanship?”
““I am the Undefeated King . I haven’t experienced defeat, be it in life or death . ””
“A bluff!”
Leraje tried to resist but it was useless .
My sword struck his flesh and bones .
‘ . . . ’
***
In the contents of the diary that followed, Grid saw the true power of 200,000 Army Swordsmanship . In the face of the true 200,000 Army Crushing Sword that couldn’t be compared to the degraded version, Leraje was literally crushed . He desperately unfolded his magic, but everything was cut equally in front of Madra’s sword .
‘Looking again, the difference is greater than the difference between heaven and earth . ’
It was on a totally different level . The glimpses that Grid got of Pagma, Braham, and the yangban Garam weren’t comparable to Madra . Undefeated King Madra was the strongest . Duguen! Duguen! Duguen! Grid’s heartbeat started to accelerate . His admiration for Madra spurred his assimilation with Madra .
I didnt know a single defeat .
I . . . I am Undefeated King Madra .
[★ Warning ★ You have assimilated with Madra in the diary and shared his memories and feelings . You need to be careful because you are psychologically feeling a great amount of anxiety and pain . ]
[You are in extreme confusion . ]
[The system is checking your brain waves and pulse . If it is determined to be dangerous, Death Knight Madra’s diary will be sealed . ]
[Danger! Danger! Madra’s diary will be sealed!]
“ . . . !”
The seventh chapter ended . Grid, who had completely assimilated with Madra, opened his eyes . He was drenched in sweat as he gritted his teeth . It was to distinguish between virtual and reality . He was Grid, not Madra . He tried his best to realize that he was Shin Youngwoo before he was Grid .
Duguen! Duguen! Duguen . . .
His frantic heartbeat started to stabilize .
[You are free from the confusion . ]
[Your vitals have returned to normal . The eighth chapter of Death Knight Madra’s diary is unfolding . ]
[Do you want to read it?]
“Heok, heok . . . Yes, Ill read it . ”
@%$P)@!#$~$X##!!!!!!!
“ . . . ”
This challenge also failed . After learning 200,000 Army Swordsmanship, Grid re-read the seventh chapter several times to confirm the back of the diary . He experienced Madra’s great pain and despair, but he endured it . Grid wanted to read the eighth chapter . He wanted to understand Madra and Pagma more, and he wanted to get a glimpse of the 300,000 Army Swordsmanship .
However, the eighth chapter was completely unreadable . It was in a language that wasn’t human . Why? At first, he couldn’t understand what was going on . Then Grid was soon able to guess the reason .
‘It was the chaotic period . ’
Madra defeated all the great demons that invaded the Behen Archipelago and was then alone for hundreds of years . He would’ve gradually lost the need for language because he had no one to talk to . The thoughts he wrote in the diary were likely transformed into something that only he could recognize . It was something completely different that couldn’t be defined by the concept of language . It meant that only Madra himself could read the eighth chapter of the diary .
‘Is this the end of the diary’s role?’
Grid had expected it . Death Knight Madra whom Grid had met on the Behen Archipelago hadn’t used 300,000 Army Swordsmanship . The weak body of the undead, that had undergone hundreds of years of storms, couldn’t withstand the destructive power of 300,000 Army Swordsmanship . Considering the time, it was highly likely that 300,000 Army Swordsmanship wouldn’t be written in the diary .
‘Even if there is 300,000 Army Swordsmanship, will I need to be level 499 to learn it?’
Level 499 . . . At this point, it would take at least 5–6 years to reach that level .
‘There is no real answer . ’
Grid opened his own status window . He was level 399 . It was at 97% experience . He hadn’t leveled up despite beating Berith . Of course, there were many high-level NPCs among the raid party members . He had to consider that most of the experience had been distributed to the NPCs . It was common sense that the greater the level gap was between party members, the more disadvantages the lower leveled members received . Even so, the opponent had been a great demon . The amount of experience he dropped would’ve been beyond imagination . Frankly, this was too much .
‘I never dreamed that I couldn’t go up by even one level . ’
From level 399 onward, the amount of experience required to level up seemed to double .
‘Isn’t this a point where I can’t level up through hunting?’
Grid suddenly realized this and stopped making the underwear that he was doing out of habit . His steady growth in the Tailoring Technique meant he was able to produce women’s underwear as well as men’s underwear . It was a sight where those who didn’t know about it would mistake him for an underwear thief or pervert, but it was an ordinary and familiar sight to the Overgeared members .
‘It’s too big . ’
‘It is Jishuka’s underwear . ’
‘How do you know the size?’
‘Well, that . . . we lived together . ’
‘I envy Jishuka . ’
‘ . . . ?’
In the midst of the Overgeared members’ murmurs, Grid brought up his list of ongoing quests .
[Tailoring Technique Training]
[Class Quest
The possibilities for your development have become greater after learning the Tailoring Technique .
If you get to the point where you can combine blacksmithing and tailoring, your foundation as a blacksmith will expand exponentially .
However, it is still difficult to utilize the Tailoring technique .
The gap between the intermediate Tailoring skill and legendary blacksmith skill is too large .
The intermediate Tailoring technique is likely to degrade the quality of the legendary blacksmith’s work .
Raise the level of your Tailoring skill to the point where it can be combined with blacksmithing .
Quest Clear Conditions: Master the Advanced Tailoring Technique .
Quest Clear Reward: Level +6 The opening of craftsman level Tailoring Technique . ]
This was the reason why Grid made underwear whenever he had time . It was an inevitable class quest, and it also gave a huge reward . When he first received the quest, Grid was merely eager to see the craftsmanship . Now his thoughts had changed .
‘I have to stop making men’s underwear . ’
He no longer coveted the craftsman level Tailoring Technique . If he received the craftsman level skill, he planned to apply it to blacksmithing and didn’t want to make underwear . Rather than the skill, Grid focused on the reward of six levels .
‘This is a real jackpot . ’
Now it was hard to gain a level when fighting against a great demon . The quest gave six levels as a reward, so the value was astronomical . Grid made a judgment, ‘Don’t try to clear it too quickly . ’
The higher his level, the higher the value would be . It wasn’t good to delay it too much, but he wasn’t in a hurry for the reward . Grid realized that he needed to be more relaxed .
‘The thing I need to focus on right now . . . ’
It was to gain the remaining 3% experience and reach level 400 . The right thing to do would be to reach the fourth stats awakening and then make items using Berith’s by-products .
“Okay . Ah, before that . . . ” Grid made a plan and shouted, “Sticks!”
Was this the feeling when Jin X Gu called Dorae X Mon? Grid was excited every time he called Stick’s name . He had the confidence that Sticks would surely live up to his expectations .
“Ha . . . Why are you calling during class?”
Sticks was the principal and teacher at the Overgeared Academy . A few days ago, he gave Grid the ‘long-distance communication earphones’ which had been developed at Reidan’s alchemy facility, and this allowed him to hear Grid’s voice within the range of a certain distance . Grid got to the point straight away, “Take me to Reidan . ”
“No, think about it . You can use the city’s warp facility . . . ”
“It will waste Reinhardt’s magic power . That is money . ”
“Don’t I charge Reinhardt’s magic power core anyway?”
“I-Is that so? As expected, isn’t Sticks really great?”
“Haha . . . Mass Teleport . ”
Sticks was a busy person . It was his job to educate the children of the Overgeared Kingdom . He didn’t want to waste time, so he immediately used magic and sent Grid to Reidan . It was a waste of magic that ordinary players would never experience in their lives .
“W-We greet Your Majesty!!”
In the desert city of Reidan, the knights ran over after detecting the flow of magic power and recognized Grid . Chris, who was in the castle, immediately frowned upon arriving at the scene . “You have to send a whisper in advance if you aren’t going to use the warp facility . I was surprised at the thought of the enemy intruding . ”
“Sorry, sorry . I’ll definitely do it next time,” Grid apologized with a smile before stepping forward . He moved in the direction of the alchemy facility .
Chris’ eyes shone as he followed Grid . “Has Berith’s Power finally been recharged?”
“Yes,” Grid answered with a confident smile on his face .
“Let’s see the real power of alchemy . ”
