Overgeared Chapter 1329:
The 29th Great Demon, Marchosias—at one time, he enjoyed the struggle . He failed to endure his boiling blood and had ambition to become the master of a deeper **** in order to lead more armies . However, he was defeated by the wanderer, Zepar, and briefly lost the 29th Hell . His wild instincts and passion faded like a lie . He learned the concept of ‘limitations . ’
Marchosias reigned by turning everything his breath touched into stone . He lost all motivation once he discovered there were some objects that couldn’t be turned to stone, and many of them were here in **** . Demons were no different from humans . Their fate was sometimes dictated by something innate .
‘The appearance isn’t bad for a human . Should I make her into a stone statue to decorate my bedroom?’
Marchosias wasn’t stupid enough to let go of the human who invaded his territory at will . He wasn’t degraded to the extent where he would shrink back from a human . Demon Slayer? It was a grand title, but she was still young compared to the past generation . He let it go once or twice because it was annoying and he could handle her easily as long as he made up his mind .
“ . . . . . . ?”
Marchosias was approaching Yura when he suddenly felt flustered . It was because Yura, who was standing in front of him, suddenly disappeared . Then he realized it wasn’t Yura who disappeared . It was that his vision had changed . He wasted a single second . Then there was a sharp bursting sound behind him that was accompanied by pain . He realized the blood scattering in all directions was his own and hurriedly let out his breath .
Marchosias’ skin and muscles turned into hard stones . The hot and sharp object that was cutting at Marchosias’ body . It was presumably a sword and it could no longer cut Marchosias’ body . It bounced off . Marchosias kept turning himself into stone as he raised his half-cut neck and looked back . He saw a person other than the Demon Slayer .
“Fast . . . ”
He wondered if humans could be this fast .
‘A transcendent?’
He wondered why a transcendent was in **** .
‘I heard that transcendents are quite obsessed with life . ’
Transcendents were those who lived forever, but couldn’t resist physical death, unlike legends . They transcended the limits of a human being in order to realize their simple desire for development and were immersed in their own world all day long . Therefore, they had little external activities . Yet one stepped into **** willingly?
‘Additionally, why is it my hell?’
Today was an annoying day in many ways . It wasn’t enough that Baal came and made trouble . Now there was the Demon Slayer and a transcendent . . .
‘Tsk, it is ominous . ’
He didn’t want to see a transcendent who might’ve lived for many years . Marchosias became cautious and let out a breath as an experiment . Everything that existed where the fan-shaped breath passed quickly turned into stone . It could be called a wave of stone . The human at the end of that wave . . .
“ . . . Tsk . ”
There was no petrification . Marchosias clicked his tongue, spread out his wings, and flew back . He also confirmed that the Demon Slayer blocking his path was quite tense .
“I don’t care what you are doing here . Can you just leave?”
There was a superstition among the demons . It was a superstition that, whenever the flesh was extinguished and the flesh was born, it would gain a stronger or new power . Of course, Marchosias didn’t believe in superstition . Hell Gao, Drasion, Morax, Astaroth, Furfur—he thought it was a rumor spread by the followers of the idiots who lost their flesh to Sword Saint Muller to maintain the dignity of their master .
‘It is a waste of time to die . ’
He might only be resurrected after a few hundred years . Life would be no different from before even if he was resurrected . Marchosias just wanted peace and quiet .
Yura was shaken by the words about withdrawing . This development was unexpected and her shaky gaze shifted to Grid . They were communicating without Marcosias knowing .
-Glant advised me to avoid fighting Marchosias as much as possible . He said that if Marchosias wasn’t worried after an incident, his ranking would be much higher than it is now . It is difficult to believe in the visible ranking . There are many variables so it is better to avoid him .
-I’d like to fight .
Since ancient times, the premise of killing a great demon was ‘in the human world . ’ They might be the same great demon, but there was a huge difference in the human world compared to in **** . Therefore, Grid wanted to confirm it .
-I have to make sure that the great demons in **** are as great as the rumors .
Grid planned to use **** as his main stage for future activities, so it was necessary to gain an idea of the combat power of great demons . He needed to know if his skills could handle the great demon in the region before he could make a thorough plan . Yura nodded when she read Grid’s intentions .
-I understand . . . however, I will remind you . Don’t be careless just by looking at the rankings . Glant’s assessment might not be unconditionally accurate, but he said that Marchosias deserves to be 22nd ranked . This means he is stronger than Beleth in the human world .
-More than Beleth?
Yura brought up Beleth so that Grid could feel it more clearly . Grid was calm despite her continued warnings . Therefore, she felt the need to instill vigilance . Then what was this?
-I’m looking forward to it .
Grid was smiling rather than being nervous . Yura realized something when she saw the light in his eyes . Grid wasn’t afraid of Beleth . It was honestly unbelievable . Just a few months ago, Grid’s face had been full of agitation and surprise throughout the fight against Beleth . The video of Grid’s anxious expression as he hoped for this moment to end was still popular among people . Yet his stance changed in just a few months?
‘No, it isn’t just a few months thinking about it now . ’
The value of time varied in every moment . Since the Beleth battle, Grid had already written three epics . The fight with Saleos, the eighth epic on Cokro Island, and the ninth epic in **** not long ago . The time period of the past few months was short, but it had special value to Grid .
She should trust Grid . Grid’s confidence might come from a misjudgment, but she would protect him this time . Yura made up his mind and used Hell Leap to move to the hilly area that was just created by Baal . She found some cover, lowered herself, and set up a sniper point . She recalled the conversation she had with the thousand year old Glant .
“Marchosias’ real strength lies in petrifying himself, not objects . He can petrify his skin and muscles to make himself harder than steel . Imagine if that guy petrifies even his skeleton . If the world perishes, he alone will live . ”
“Does that mean he can’t be killed?”
“Yes . Therefore, fighting him is pointless . If you have to fight him, then aim for his eyelids . It is uncomfortable to petrify the eyelid muscles . Thus, he has a habit of not petrifying his eyelids muscles as much . If you shoot his eyelids then you will have time to run away . ”
Yura’s barrel filled with jade-colored magic power as she aimed . Increased accuracy, reinforcing bullets, accelerating projectiles, granting evil destruction and penetration properties, etc . All types of buff skills suitable for the situation were repeatedly overlapped on Alex’s magic engineering gun .
Of course, there was no apparent energy . It was because sniping should be done in secret . However, the opponent was a great demon .
“ . . . I have no intention of fighting . ”
Marchosias frowned as he felt the threatening energy and petrified his body even further . It was only when his skin, muscles, and even bones were petrified that Marchosias felt hard enough to look outward . His physique was so large that he was reminiscent of a great mountain deeply rooted in the ground .
However, Yura knew his weakness . It happened as Yura was about to pull the trigger . . .
-I think it makes more sense to fight alone .
- . . . . . . !
As a new whisper arrived, a veil covered her scope . It was Grid’s cloak . Grid intentionally disrupted Yura’s sniper trajectory .
-I got it .
How much had Grid grown since he faced Beleth? The most curious one was actually Grid . He asked Yura for her understanding and started to dance . In a rare manner, he took several strides . Marchosias was a stone statue that didn’t move . Grid saw it as a divine opportunity and raised the power of his sword dance to the limit .
“Pinnacle . ”
Unlike ordinary rankers who consistently raided boss monsters in various areas to make a profit, Grid had a revenue source called the ‘Overgeared Kingdom’ and he didn’t need to be obsessed with raids . It was much more advantageous to make items instead of doing raids .
Due to these circumstances, the number of raids that Grid had done was surprisingly small . It was a considerably lower amount than others . However, if one was counting the number of raids for ‘bosses whose attack strategy hasn’t been revealed,’ Grid would compete for first or second place . It meant he was a raid master . He already recognized that Marchosias was a boss who specialized in defense . He also noticed Marchosias’ weakness based on the face that Marchosias’ eyes weren’t blurred despite hardening his entire body .
The sword dance that ignored the target’s defense cut diagonally across Marchosias’ eyes .
The 29th Hell shook as there was a lot of bleeding . The unexpected pain caused Marchosias to scream . Marchosias’ was covered in his own blood and he started to rampage .
“Still . . . . I can’t stay stillllllll!!”
The instincts that Marchosias had removed were resurrected . A great anger was awakening the demonic ferocity . It would’ve happened someday even if Grid didn’t touch him . A great demon who sought peace couldn’t exist .
Every time Marchosias roared, giant rocks were created and continued to aim at Grid . Grid felt the feeling of being exposed to a landslide . The baptism of giant rocks was extremely threatening . Grid was stuck in between the piled up rocks that formed a well and a giant fist slammed into his face .
Rocks shattered and the fragments flew in all directions . However, Grid’s flesh and blood weren’t seen . Marchosias lost sight of Grid and hurriedly petrified himself .
-Certainly, it is higher than Beleth’s level and stats .
Dragon .
Grid conveyed his sentiments to Yura as he penetrated through Marchosias .
-However, level and stats aren’t the only measures of strength .
Beleth’s level and stats might’ve been greatly weakened in the human world, but his power and vision were several times better than Marchosias . Overall, Beleth felt more powerful . There was no need to explain in detail . Contrary to what it looked like, the Beleth who was in the human world was stronger than the Marchosias who was in **** .
Of course, this didn’t mean that Marchosias was weak . It was just that Grid overwhelmed Marchosias .
“Open Potential . Dragon . ”
[Pagma’s Sword Dance, Dragon, has temporarily evolved into Grid’s Sword Dance . ]
“Sword Dance Creation . Transcend Dragon Kill Pinnacle . ”
The charging sword dance gave infinite potential to Grid’s Sword Dance . Grid could make dozens of charges in theory and he penetrated Marchosias’ body again and again, dominating the battlefield .
