Overgeared Chapter 1136:
“If you don’t work hard to overcome the curse, you are just a worm . ”
‘Work hard . . . damn!’
Noll couldn’t refute it . Magic Contemplation, which denied the power he inherited from their mother, was a result of Braham’s own efforts . Noll, who relied on innate power, was ashamed of himself . He felt sorry for all the time he wasted while using the curse as an excuse .
“Braham, stop now .
Noll’s head dropped as Braham continued the mocking and slandering . Grid was worried the relationship between them would deteriorate uncontrollably so he stepped forward to mediate .
Then Noll puffed up his cheeks angrily and shouted at Braham, I’ll show you . Ill prove that I can be stronger than you if I try! At that time, I will treat you as a worm!”
“Bah . ”
Braham waved his hand like he was chasing away a fly . It was an attitude that he wasn’t interested in anything . Noll was indignant but Grid saw it—there was a slight smile on Braham’s face the moment he turned his head .
‘Brother and brother . . . ’
Grid wondered why Braham hated his kin and used them as an experimental tool . He was disappointed that his siblings, who were supposed to overcome the curse and help their mother, fell asleep every day and hated them in his despair . He believed there would be no future if this continued and took all responsibility, sacrificing his bloodline . He probably knew it was the wrong choice but he had only one option . However, things were different now—Braham was no longer alone and there were more options for him .
Grid thought about it and suddenly felt a sense of incongruity . He wondered if hunting Fenrir was the right thing to do .
“ . . . Excuse me . ”
Grid called out to Braham . This made Braham frown . He looked at Grid’s face and noticed what this person was thinking . It was possible because he lived inside Grid for ages and understood Grid’s personality .
Braham transmitted his voice to Grid’s head .
[It is different from what you are imagining . Have you forgotten that you personally sealed my sister Latina? There is no sibling affection between us . ]
“Then why were you smiling?”
[I was only delighted at getting a decent long-term **** . The more useful the pawn, the better . ]
“ . . . . . . ”
[First of all, Fenrir must be eliminated . Only then will Marie Rose . . . no, you can kill Marie Rose . ]
Braham no longer felt the need to explain and glanced away from Grid . Piaro was staring at him with a bright expression . He was eager to fight .
Braham’s hand beckoned . “Come on . ”
For Piaro, Braham was the second coming of a legend but Braham was also very fond of Piaro . He had been watching this person for a long time . Braham vividly remembered the appearance of Piaro struggling for Grid . He also felt a faint liking because Grid shared his feelings for Piaro .
Asmophel didn’t know what Braham was feeling and intervened . “Why don’t you compete with me before challenging Piaro?”
It was a very provocative statement . He was very unhappy that Braham treated Piaro as a subordinate .
“Yes, then you should come . ” Braham laughed . He knew Asmophel so he felt this person’s behavior was cute .
“I won’t refuse . ”
Braham was a friend of his liege and a legend of the previous generation, so he should be respected . However, he couldn’t stand the attitude of ignoring his liege’s other knights, especially Piaro . Asmophel couldn’t bear it and pulled out his sword . Brilliant sparks flew through the round table toward Braham . However, the ground where Asmophel was standing collapsed before it could reach Braham .
“ . . . !”
Asmophel’s posture collapsed and twisted the orbit of his flying sparks . He couldn’t even take a step toward Braham before he was thrown back through a window, while Braham never took a step from his seat .
‘Did he cast a spell ahead of time?’
Asmophel twisted his body as he fell and surged back into the meeting room . As expected, dozens of Magic Missiles were already aiming at him . A chill went down Asmophel’s spine as he saw the flashes in front of him .
“I have to move in ways the other person can’t predict . ”
Braham flicked his finger and dozens of Magic Missiles flooded toward Asmophel . Asmophel, who was trying to ignore it, received a blow to his shoulder and rushed to defend himself . Nevertheless, it wasn’t easy to defend . Every step on the ground was slippery like it was covered in oil while darkness completely obscured his view .
‘This isn’t completing a spell in advance . . . !’
Even Great Magician Ashur had a moment of casting time when using magic . Meanwhile, Braham had transcended that level and could use his magic immediately without casting . Asmophel suffered setbacks as four, five, and six spells were so quickly linked that they seemed simultaneous . He was determined that he couldn’t keep defending and took the damage as he used a skill .
“Bl . . . !”
His sword was raised over his head and Asmophel’s exposed body was struck by a series of Magic Missiles .
“ . . . oom!”
Asmophel succeeded in activating his skill . A transparent red flower made of sword energy unfolded around Braham’s distant body . If it was a real battle then it would be described as ‘mutual destruction . ’
‘His willpower is great . ’
Braham’s eyes shone as he used Teleport . However . . .
‘It is useless . ’
Asmophel wasn’t shaken . His skill was a targeted skill . It meant the skill couldn’t be shaken off no matter what .
“Hoh?”
Braham appeared in a different location and showed an interested reaction . He might’ve moved using Teleport but the flowers wrapped around his body were still shaking slightly . This made him use Teleport again .
“Don’t you know it is useless?!”
Asmophel shouted and wielded his sword . It was a signal—a sign for the flowers surrounding Braham’s body to explode in full bloom .
“ . . . !”
Then in an instant, Braham appeared right in front of Asmophel . The location of the teleport was completely different from Asmophel’s expectations . The flustered Asmophel tried to withdraw his sword but the flowers around Braham’s body were already exploding .
Asmophel screamed as he was swept away by the explosion and collapsed . It didn’t end with one explosion . It was extremely intense and swallowed the entire meeting room . It wasn’t a power where they could sit back and watch . Mercedes used her shield to protect Grid while the other knights used their own defense skills . Only one person—Jude—was swept away by the explosion and Grid hurriedly handed him a potion .
“Cough, cough . . . !”
Once the explosion was over, Asmophel coughed up blood several times and made a disbelieving look . Braham was hovering beyond the open ceiling . Shortly after Asmophel’s flowers exploded, he once again used Teleport to minimize the damage . If Teleport had been used just before the explosion, the flowers would’ve kept chasing him . Thus, he arranged the situation while taking some damage .
“ . . . I lost . ”
Asmophel was clear about the result . How could he beat a monster that continued to leap through space by using Teleport in succession? He felt he couldn’t beat Braham even if he died .
“ . . . . . . ”
Meanwhile, Braham was speechless . In fact, he was in great shock . It was the first time in his life that he had been wounded by an ordinary human being, not a transcendent or a legend . One arm was drooping . Braham stared at his wounded arm and muttered in a voice no one could hear, “ . . . He managed to gather together these people . ”
In fact, there were many powerful people here who could fight against him . There were at least four such people here . Braham scanned Asmophel, Piaro, Mercedes, and Teruchan in turn and descended to the ground .
He wanted to shout, ‘Who is the next opponent?’ but his mana was consumed after using multiple teleports in a row . The Braham style enhanced Teleport, unlike normal Teleport, consumed dozens of times more mana in exchange for having no cooldown . In his prime, he would still have mana left after teleporting all day but not now .
“ . . . . . . ”
In this awkward moment, there was a powerful savior for Braham .
“What is this uproar?!” It was Administrator Rabbit . He rushed in after the uproar and was stunned when he saw the meeting room turned to ashes and the open ceiling . “Who . . . ? Who did this terrible thing?!”
“ . . . . . . ”
He looked like a great demon who climbed up from **** . Rabbit’s distorted face and red eyes as he searched for the culprit was evil . Asmophel was forced to shrink back because he knew how scary Rabbit was when it came to money . The others were the same . Even Noll avoided Rabbit’s gaze .
Only Teruchan, the thoughtless Jude, and Braham, who just joined the Overgeared Guild, looked at Rabbit . Rabbit couldn’t trifle with Braham so he yelled at Teruchan and Jude, “I’ll be claiming damages in the future so be ready!”
“Jude . Understood . ”
“I . Gruruk . Why?”
“ . . . . . . ”
The group moved locations . The knights who usually lived in Reinhardt, such as Piaro and Mercedes, naturally moved in the direction of the big military exercise hall but Braham pointed to another location .
“That is a good place . ” Braham was pointing to the agricultural fields outside the castle . He suggested it because he penetrated into Piaro’s essence and Piaro didn’t refuse .
“I am grateful for your concession . ”
“Bah, I just want some fresh air . ”
It was at this moment .
“Grruk . Me first . Fight . ” Teruchan stepped in abruptly . He pulled out Failure Honoring the Strongest Warrior and growled at Braham . “If I win . Surrender yourself to the administrator . Grruk . ”
It seemed he felt it was quite unfair . The reason he didn’t tell the administrator the culprit was due to Teruchan’s sense of loyalty . He became the orc lord for the young orcs and wouldn’t sell his colleagues .
“Baby . . . ”
Braham’s nostrils flared and he was about to accept Teruchan’s duel application .
“Don’t do that . You have to compete with me . ” This time, Piaro intervened . Piaro had long enjoyed fighting the strong and actually wanted to compete with everyone here . Furthermore, he wanted to postpone the fight with Braham because he cherished delicious food .
Like a warrior, Teruchan didn’t avoid the fight . He completely forgot about his grudge against Braham . Okay! Grruk!”
Braham alternated between looking at Jude and Teruchan before sending a sound transmission to Grid .
[In fact, aren’t you the smartest one among them?]
“ . . . . . . ”
Grid pretended not to hear . He thought it was necessary to organize the hierarchy for the sake of future discipline so he watched the situation silently .
