Overgeared Chapter 1225:
Chapter 1225
Grid didn’t know the conditions for an epic to occur . He just vaguely thought that he had to make great achievements . However, the truth was different . The epics that Grid had written so far weren’t only focused on achievements but also on relationships . The fifth epic proved this . Therefore . . .
“I am cursed due to the dragons’ terrible words of contempt and hatred toward me . So put away your envy . It is you, not me, who deserves to receive that look . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
In the process of his conversation and building up rapport with the special being called the Dragon Slayer, Grid felt expectant . He thought that a sixth epic would occur soon . Then his prediction came true .
[The beginning of the narrative begins with the confession of a lonely Absolute . ]
“I got to know you . ”
[He dared to comfort the one who stood higher than himself . ]
“Those lizard **** who cursed you, I will surely destroy them someday . ”
An epic occurred and Grid expressed his feelings truthfully . He spoke candidly about Hayate’s pain and sorrow and his desire to overcome it together . Grid knew it was enough . So far, the epics had responded to his feelings and he believed this time would be the same . However, this time was different .
“Shh . ” Hayate blocked Grid’s mouth . His expression hardened for the first time . “Take back what you just said . ”
[His declaration that he would #%content%amp;을 *% was blocked by the Absolute . ]
“ . . . ?”
The text was broken . As a result, Grid’s declaration wasn’t imprinted on the epic and disclosed . Grid was panicking about the situation when Hayate explained, “The unqualified gods of the East have ruined your senses . ”
“ . . . ?”
“The gods of the East wouldn’t have been a great threat to you . Isn’t that correct?”
“ . . . !”
Hayate saw it precisely . On the East Continent, the threat to Grid was the yangbans . The real gods who created or taught the yangbans didn’t pose a direct threat to Grid . It was natural . In the first place, the Five Seniors never appeared in front of Grid . Hayate responded to Grid’s silent confirmation, “The gods who now rule the East are the ones who were defeated in the war of the gods . ”
In other words—
“They were wounded and lost their authority . Their influence is very small compared to the impression that people usually have about omnipotent gods . That’s why you’re still safe . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
“On the other hand, dragons are different from the gods of the East . They have good ears and no scruples about their actions . If they hear your epic then they can hurt you at any time . ”
The words that Hayate wanted to convey were simple . He was telling Grid to be careful not to become hostile to dragons .
[The Absolute’s anxious warning has covered your epic . ]
[The sixth page of the epic remains incomplete . ]
[No one will ever be able to see the secret words hidden on the blank page . ]
‘What?’
Grid was full of turmoil in many ways and closed his mouth . The epic would end just like this? It was the worst development for Grid, who got rewarded for every epic .
‘It is a class about the epics yet an epic was messed up . . . !’
The Duke of Wisdom and Magic Swordsman of the Epics classes that Grid possessed had few unique effects . Among them, the Magic Swordsman of the Epics increased the total amount of sword energy and mana by 20% as well as ‘writing epics . ’ Nevertheless, Grid’s satisfaction was high because of the rewards that came with each epic .
Yes, after all, it was a class about the epics . Now the epic had ended in an incomplete state . It was the concept where the Magic Swordsman of the Epics became stronger by being ‘known’ through the epics . It also meant that the reward had gone away .
“ . . . ?”
Grid was frowning with frustration when a new notification window emerged in his vision .
[The story that isn’t recorded will be passed down through word of mouth . However, it should be remembered that people with loose mouths will be hated . ]
[The class specific skill of Magic Swordsman of the Epics, ‘Oral Traditions,’ has been activated . ]
[Oral Traditions]
[Share the contents of the epics with others . The number of times it can be shared is once per secret story .
Skill activation condition: Deliver a secret story to one target you have the maximum affinity with .
Skill activation effect: The target’s stats will increase or a new skill or title will awaken . The stat increase, new skills, and title effects are affected by the content of the secret story . ]
“ . . . !”
He had always expected it . Just like Pagma's Descendant, he believed that the Magic Swordsman of the Epics and Duke of Wisdom classes would someday open up new class specific effects . In particular, Magic Swordsman of the Epics was a growth type legendary class so he had more expectations . These expectations didn’t betray Grid .
Oral Tradition—simply put, this skill that raised an NPC or pet was necessary for Grid who had a high dependence on his colleagues .
‘Hayate is an Absolute yet even he feels his limits . ’
No matter how strong he was alone, he needed colleagues to support him . Colleagues should be strong together . . .
Grid’s face brightened as he thought for a long time .
He liked the new skill of Magic Swordsman of the Epics .
‘It is a pity that it is only one oral tradition per story but time can solve this problem . I have to keep writing more secret stories . ’
People who had loose mouths would be hated so the number of times it could be used was limited . This much was compelling . Grid’s smile grew stronger as he analyzed it .
“I was worried you might be upset . I’m glad . ”
Hayate was relieved to see it . Grid replied politely, “Aren’t you giving me advice? I’m happy to hear it . ”
“Thank you for understanding . Remember one thing . Dragons aren’t targets to be fought . They must be avoided . ”
“I will keep that in mind . . . ”
Even the great Tower of Wisdom didn’t say that they would subdue the dragon . Their main task was to curb the emergence of the dragons .
‘I was too presumptuous . ’
He declared that he would smash a dragon in front of a Dragon Slayer . . .
The ashamed Grid suddenly became worried .
“One of my colleagues has a hostile relationship with a dragon . ”
It was none other than Pon . Before meeting Grid, Pon had become hostile to Fire Dragon Trauka and was suffering from Trauka’s curse . What type of events had he experienced during training? Not long ago, Grid saw the power of curses on the East Continent and felt uneasy . Pon was on Trauka’s hostile list and it was the same for the Overgeared Guild and Overgeared Kingdom that he belonged to .
“Is there a possibility that the dragon might invade the Overgeared Kingdom one day?”
“It is safe to say that there is no such possibility . The dragons are obsessed with their own lairs . They think it is a loss to leave to hunt a human . No, they wouldn’t consider it in the first place . ”
It was the same as Sticks’ opinion .
Hayate once again warned Grid, “However, there is a possibility their attitude will change once they learn that a place contains many people they are hostile to . Then they might leave their lair even if it is troublesome . That’s why there are dozens of cloaking spells on the Tower of Wisdom . ”
“It would be a disaster if the dragon becomes hostile to me as well . ”
There was also Braham in the Overgeared Kingdom . Braham had a history of stealing from Fire Dragon Trauka . If King Grid of the Overgeared Kingdom where Pon and Braham were located became hostile to Trauka then he would firmly stomp on them . Grid’s thoughts were far away while Hayate snapped his fingers . Hayate’s mental world was lifted and the night sky greeted Grid . Hayate checked the moon’s position and lightly pushed Grid .
“It is time to go to sleep . ”
“Ah, yes . ”
Grid activated the red phoenix’s heart . He took a deep breath to relax his tension and finally used the new Storm of the Fire God . The biggest advantage of Storm of the Fire God was that it was activated immediately . There was no delay, unlike the days of the Storm Demonic Energy Field .
Huge flames suddenly covered the whole area . The divine flames and flames of willpower swirled quietly but strongly . Originally, this was the end of it but it was different now . There was a silver galaxy present in the world of red flames . It was sword energy . It was also infinite sword energy .
[Storm of the Fire God]
[You have realized the dignity of the newly born fire **** .
-Field Effect 1-
[Divine Flames]
Unleash the latent flames in the Red Phoenix’s 9th Heart to form a storm of divine flames .

Once a target with a reduced healing effect attempts to heal, ‘Rage of the Fire God’ will cause 15,000 fixed damage and will potentially reverse the healing effect .

However, it can’t damage targets with the willpower stat . The target will suffer a high chance of being burned and will suffer from a fall in willpower .

“Ohh . . . !”
It was full of power . Grid was swept away by the infinite sword energy within the Storm of the Fire God and felt like he was invincible . He was unable to control his excitement as the fighting energy around his body changed . It seemed to be swept away by the infinite sword energy and then went through the process of mixing and integrating . Grid had achieved his purpose .
[The fighting energy of the Hero King is fused with the infinite sword energy . ]
[Due to fighting energy, the power of all skills that consume sword energy is increased by 20% . ]
[From now on, fighting energy will always remain at 50 . This number will grow as your level rises . ]
[Your body has suppressed fighting energy and is in harmony . ]
[The Enlightenment effect is fully activated . The experience acquisition formula has been revamped . ]
“ . . . . . . ”
He would never let go of the number one ranking until he died . Grid vowed as he was surrounded by Storm of the Fire God and a deeper purple-red fighting energy than before .
