Overgeared Chapter 1140:

Inside Elizabeth’s workshop in Reinhardt, Grid and Elizabeth were focusing on their work .  Grid was currently making Braham’s Robes with the sewing technique he was barely accustomed to while Elizabeth was taking the utmost care to craft Braham’s earrings .  

She did her best to reward Grid for handing over the legendary-rated design .  Yet even her skills weren’t enough to satisfy Braham .

“You newbie . Even zombies with rotten fingers are better than you . ”

“Hiing . . . . ” Elizabeth was almost in tears because of Braham, who sat by her side and kept slandering her skills .  She couldn’t tolerate this treatment since she was normally treated like a princess as Eat Spicy Jokbal’s relative and the best accessories maker .

Grid wanted make progress on the work, so he shifted Braham’s interest in another direction . “I know that Fenrir is as strong as a great demon . Nevertheless, if you and I join forces and Piaro and the knights work together, shouldn’t we succeed without any sacrifices?”

After the hierarchy determination, Braham greatly admired the power of Grid’s knights .  So, Grid thought Braham would have a positive reaction .  Surprisingly, Braham was still skeptical . “It is impossible to avoid sacrifices . ”

“How strong is Fenrir . . . ”

“It is more of a problem with that guy’s dog . ”

“Dog?”

“Rather than using magic, Fenrir honed his body . Moreover, magic doesn’t work at all against him . Unlike our blood, he has no obvious weaknesses . You will have to hunt the dog while I tie up Fenrir’s feet alone . . . It will be a tough fight . ”

“Magic doesn’t work at all? Then how did you fight and win against Fenrir in the old days?”

“I aged the hind legs of a **** dog for 100 days and then roasted them in a secret sauce before throwing the skewer of roasted **** dog meat away from the front line . Damn, if I hadn’t wasted that skewer back then, I could’ve run away a bit more easily . ”

“ . . . Eh?”

Grid had heard a lot about this food somewhere .

‘High rankers’ was used to refer to the top 1,000 rankers .  The top 1,000 among billions of players were respected by the public because they needed talent, money, or good luck .  However, evaluations were always relative .  Then rankers insisted that a real definition of high rankers should be established .

Top 100 . . .

The top 100 players were the only ones who could claim to be high rankers .  That’s why the 36 rankers here were in the top 100 .  It was the first time in history that a party was composed of such power .  Not even the Overgeared Kingdom or Valhalla had dozens of people in the top 100 .  Some of the players in this party were even healers .  The healer class was the most difficult class in Satisfy . .

“Did you really have to kill them? Wouldn’t it be enough to capture them?” Light said .  His ID was literally ‘Light’ .  He had long reigned as the number one monk and had risen to number 21 in the unified rankings . Light had many fans due to his beauty and manners .  He was complaining about killing the soldiers who guarded the entrance of Fenrir’s city .

“I think it was right to kill them . This is the middle of the desert . It would’ve been more horrific if they were left with their hands and feet **** . ”

“Is there any guarantee that the soldiers won’t be able to solve it just because they are **** with chains? They could get help from a patrol team . Why do you want to keep witnesses alive?’

A vampire city where the boss still survived had an unusual form .  No one could enter the city until the previous party was wiped out or the boss was raided .

Pastel Crayon, 29th on the unified rankings, was the reason why the soldiers of the Overgeared Kingdom were murdered . He judged that witnesses should be destroyed to avoid exposing the identities of those in their party, regardless of whether they succeeded or failed in the Fenrir raid .  In fact, it wasn’t easy for the Overgeared Kingdom to identify the ‘suicide commandos’ who invaded the city of Fenrir over the years . Out of the hundreds of foolish people who gave their lives for vampire items or elixirs, less than 10 were identified .

“You talk too much . Are you here to make friends?” Asuka frowned as she moved from the rear of the group .  She had consistently maintained her ranking in the top 10 despite her solo performance, and she was also a special presence in the party consisting of top 100 rankers .

At the time when 22nd Great Demon Berith appeared, there had been a public opinion that the American representatives—such as Asuka, Hurent, Zibal, and Kraugel—would’ve succeeded in raiding Berith if they cooperated .  However, Asuka hadn’t been able to participate in the Berith raid at the time .

Madness—it was a stat that berserkers should prioritize .  She was on a hidden quest to raise it .  Asuka knew that she wouldn’t have succeeded even if she had participated in the raid .

‘It is the role of Grid or Kraugel to deal with such a ridiculous monster . ’

In fact, it was the same for Fenrir .  Asuka confirmed using various literature and testimonies that Fenrir was a powerful boss that was the same or stronger than Berith .  Still, Fenrir had clear weaknesses, unlike the great demons .  Vampires were vulnerable to the sun and desired to sleep .  The group had enough means to exploit Fenrir’s weaknesses .

The sounds of watermelons exploding rang out continuously .  It was the sound effect of vampires being slaughtered by the 53rd ranked Asuka and the others in the group .  This was still only the beginning, and they were regular vampires . The vampires who lived in Fenrir’s city were over level 400, but they weren’t a match for the rankers .

“Ohh, a vampire ring,” someone whistled excitedly and said, catching everyone’s attention .  The 95th ranker KIldes had a transparent red ring on his finger .

“Wow, **** . Getting a profit as soon as you entered . . . ”

“Aren’t you lucky?”

Even the jealous voices sounded like cheers for the current Kildes .

“ . . . !?” The smiling Kildes was startled .  A red beam shot toward his chest, and he flew backward .  It was blood magic—magic that belonged to a true blood vampire .

“Kuek . . . !” Kildes suffered burns to his chest and hurriedly tried to take a potion, but he was disturbed by hundreds of bats flying through the darkness .  Still, Kildes was the second-ranked assassin and wouldn’t go down easily .  He quickly swung his dagger and shook off the bats .  

In the process, the swarm of bats took the image of a beautiful woman . She reached out for Kildes’ neck, but it was actually a self-destruction doll that resembled Kildes .  The number one assassin Faker overcame his enemies with speed while Kildes used various tools to play with the opponent .

“ . . . !” The true blood vampire was swept away by the explosion .

In the meantime, the rankers who killed the other vampires surrounded the woman along with Kildes .

“Huhut .  How pathetic . ” The true blood vampire was relaxed . Her unique vampiric ability meant she recovered from her wounds quickly . Every bat that poured out of her body ingested human blood, and the wounds on her body disappeared . “Prey has arrived after a long time . ”

All the humans the true blood vampire had dealt with so far were easy prey . She thought it would be the same again .  However, this time was different . No, it was very different .

“Kuek . . . ! Kuaaack!”

The abilities of the humans were remarkable .  Many people worked together so that those vampires created by Fenrir himself found it hard to fight back .  In particular, the dancing teddy bears with an unknown consciousness restrained the innate ability of the vampire bat .  The true blood vampire, who should’ve led the battle by dispersing her bats and using blood magic, quickly lost momentum and collapsed .

“You guys . . . ! Only humans at most . . . !”

“Quiet,” someone interrupted the true blood vampire’s words .  It was Asuka who had been watching from the rear of the battle . She was a berserker and the owner of Weapons Mastery .  Asuka opened her inventory and pulled out a sword .  It was a long sword that burned hot and bright like the sun .  The light melted the skin of the true blood vampire .

“Kuaaack!”

Asuka smiled when she saw the vampire scream and struggle .  “Yes, this is real . ”

Before Grid became a full-fledged celebrity, Asuka fought Grid along with her servant Black Teddy and got beaten up . She regarded that event as the luckiest experience of her life .  It was because she got the opportunity to understand things better and develop strength faster than others .

Over the years, she became obsessed with becoming a force beyond what others could imagine .  She wasn’t satisfied no matter how strong she became .  Asuka’s status as a third-generation chaebol helped fulfill her desires . Her resources, talent, and commitment allowed her to stay in the rankings .

The strength that was above her level came from her items .  The reason why Asuka challenged the Fenrir raid was due to her confidence in her 45th legendary item collected, the Sun Sword .  It had properties like the ability to deal additional damage to vampires, a probability of nullifying the vampires’ blood magic, nullifying the vampires’ regeneration and blood-sucking abilities, ignoring a certain amount of the vampires’ defense, and so on .

The Sun Sword was a conditional weapon that was a perfect counter to vampires .

“Here . ”

After slaughtering hundreds of vampires and defeating five true blood vampires, the group arrived before a tightly closed door and checked their skill cooldown time, resources, passive status, item durability, and potion cooldown time . The condition of the group was perfect .

“Shall we go?” Suddenly, Asuka became the leader of the party .  Everyone in the group waited for Asuka’s command with a determined expression .

‘It is annoying . ’ The frowning Asuka nodded .  “Open the door . ”

“Yes!”

“Okay!”

The party responded vigorously before opening the door .  A thick darkness was waiting for them .  It was such a perfect darkness that it was hard to see .  However, Asuka’s group were high rankers and quickly adapted to the darkness .  They found a coffin in the center of the room .  It was the biggest and most colorful coffin they had ever seen .  Surely Fenrir would be sleeping in there . . .

Black Teddy gulped and glanced at Light .  One of the decisive reasons for Asuka’s participation in the raid was Light’s ability .  He had once been one of Rebecca’s priests, but he got baptized by an indigenous **** and changed classes to a monk .  

Light could use magic to temporarily strengthen the ‘curse’ on a target .  Asuka planned to use the Sun Sword to suppress the regeneration while Light would strengthen the curse to prevent Fenrir from waking up . Then they would slaughter Fenrir as a group .

Light’s magic enveloped the sleeping Fenrir in the tightly closed coffin, and he cried out with a cheerful face, “It’s a success!”

“Good . ”

Convinced of the raid’s success, the group drew closer to the coffin .  Simultaneously, the chandelier hanging from the ceiling was tilted subtly .

“Cough . . . !”

Something huge fell, and the 39th ranked Pastel Crayon died .

“ . . . !” The faces of the group members were pale .

Grrrung .  Grrrr .

A wolf that ate gods . . .

A giant beast reminiscent of the Fenrir from Norse mythology stood confronting the group like it was guarding Fenrir’s coffin .  Every time it let out a rough breath, Asuka’s skin got goosebumps .

“ . . . This is interesting . ” Asuka opened her inventory, put away the Sun Sword, and pulled out a hunter’s bow and trap .  Her item swap rate was reminiscent of the Overgeared King’s .  “We must kill that damned dog even if we die . ”
