Overgeared Chapter 1240:

The grandmaster . He had never introduced himself . However, he existed 250 years ago, 170 years ago, 80 years ago, and 40 years ago . Every time the war between the half-draconians and the empire intensified and the imperial forces on the front lines were in a crisis, the half-draconians saw the man recorded in their history . The guardian of the empire—he clearly fought for the empire based on the way he saved the imperial army from a crisis and killed the senior warriors of the half-draconians .

The strength of the man who maintained the same title and appearance for hundreds of years had transcended that of a human and was comparable to the lord of the half-draconians . All the lords of those times had failed to kill him and they were humiliated by watching the war ending in either a draw or a defeat .

This was why the new lords aimed at the grandmaster . By beating the grandmaster, they would prove themselves to be the strongest lord of all time . This was the ultimate goal of all the lords . The same was true for Helena, who Jad served . The reason she came to the Chaos Mountains was to prove her worth by gaining the strongest power, recapturing the lord’s position, and defeating the grandmaster .

Yes, the grandmaster was truly special . So how could there be another person like him? It was also on the outskirts of this kingdom .

“You . . . Cough cough, what?”

The scales of the half-draconians alleviated both physical and magical damage . A big blow could never be dealt in one hit, yet the black-haired man in front of him inflicted great wounds by using two sword techniques that were like dances . The destructive power contained in the enemy’s word made the flesh under his scales spasm . The magic performed together with the swordsmanship ignored the resistance of the scales and randomly cut it, making him afraid .

Jad wondered if he felt this fear because the aggressiveness, which should’ve become stronger in proportion to the strength of the opponent, was somehow suppressed . Grid was watching the residents below the stage . Tens of thousands of residents were staring at Jad with their eyes wide open . No one was terrified . It wasn’t a phenomenon created by the emergence of Grid .

Even before Grid intervened, the residents had overcome their fears . It was the miracle created by the struggle and triumph of the young hero, Laden . Frontier had become stronger .

Grid opened his mouth, “I . . . ”

At this time . . .

“Ah . . . !”

The residents below the stage exclaimed . They didn’t recognize the sudden situation properly but once they heard Grid’s voice, they woke up and belatedly recognized Grid .

“Your Majesty . . . !”

“King Grid has come!”

“Waaahhhhhhhh!” The shouts of the residents beat the snowstorm . The loud voices resisted the intense wind and the heat they emitted melted away the cold snow . At this moment, Frontier was as hot as the desert city of Reidan .

‘King?’

Jad’s eyes shook when he heard the roar of the residents and realized Grid’s identity . He couldn’t believe it . The rulers of humanity strong enough to leave a record in the history of the half-draconians were the emperors of the empire and the Undefeated King . The royalty of other kingdoms were mere losers who chose to live being ruled by the empire . How did such a monster emerge from them? It was a deformed result .

Jad’s fear grew stronger . Even Jad, who longed for slaughter because he was a half-draconian, didn’t dare underestimate how much blood the man in front of him must’ve spilled in order to gain the power he had now . In Jad’s eyes, Grid looked like a monster . He felt the true dark nature of Grid who was covered with the blood of tens of thousands of people .

Tremble tremble . . .

Jad started to shake . It was a variable caused by the contract with Hao that somewhat decreased the half-draconian’s aggressiveness . Jad was completely overwhelmed by Grid and misunderstood that he didn’t feel a sense of struggle against this person was simply because of terror . This illusion caused Jad to stiffen beyond the actual situation .

‘It felt like I was shaking hands when fighting Heltavon but this time it is the opposite . ’

Now that Grid knew the effect of the contract changed depending on the situation, it was necessary to devise a way to deal with them more efficiently . Gazing at the residents below the stage, he opened his mouth, “I believe in you . ”

Grid’s gaze shifted to Laden .

“The common humans who live under the protection of the knights . ”

Grid lowered himself . He spoke like he only existed because of the people of the kingdom . He wanted Laden and the people of Frontier to take pride in themselves . It was the hope that they would be reborn as beings who could stand firmly without relying on Grid .

That’s right . Grid wasn’t obsessed with his reputation . It was because he knew that even without reputation, the fact that ‘I am myself’ remained unchanged . It was possible because of his high self-esteem . The thing Grid wanted now wasn’t to increase his value . It was Grid’s dream and goal to increase the value of everyone who believed in him and followed him .

“No matter how many times arrogant invaders like you will threaten the land in the future, the residents of this land will defeat you and protect me with their own strength . ”

It wasn’t just to Jad . He was talking to the people of Frontier . The hearts of the residents were pounding . They realized that they needed to be better and stronger .

[The people of Frontier are impressed by the king’s remarks and have become highly motivated . ]

[The growth rate of all the people of Frontier will increase by 200% for the next month . The experience gain of Frontier’s players will increase by 1 . 5 times . ]

“ . . . !!”

Since when did the people start to protect Grid? The players were stunned because they didn’t understand what Grid was talking about . They were deeply impressed by Grid’s intentions through the rising notification windows and the changes in the residents .

‘This isn’t the important thing . ’

Satisfy’s system was very active . It was obvious just by looking at the quests . Unlike normal games, Satisfy allowed players to intentionally generate quests . This was one of the growth methods that had been widely known and favored by players since the early days .

Grid just took advantage of this . Using his position as king, he dramatically increased the city’s growth rate with a few words . The crisis caused by the emergence of the half-draconians turned into an opportunity . He was the first ranked player for a reason . The players felt like they had been taught a lot .

“Kuk . . . Kukukuk, they are very touching remarks . ” The stiffened Jad slowly woke up . He regained the aggressiveness that had been controlled by the contract and realized the fear he just felt was just an illusion . “If you raise a bug, it is still a bug after all . ”

Jad looked at the ridiculous humans who were motivated by their king’s words and started to relax . The person who seemed like a monster just a moment ago now looked ridiculous . He thought it was trivial for a human who took the path of slaughter to care about bugs . He was embarrassed at himself for thinking this human was in the same class as the grandmaster, who slaughtered senior warriors without changing his expression .

‘Of course, he is a strong person . However, I won’t lose to a human who isn’t even part of the empire . ’

Jad was one of the top 10 powerhouses among the 30 half-draconians who followed Helena . He was above the intermediate level and on the verge of the senior level . After thousands of battles, he had reached the peak of combat experience . Jad had confidence that he could fight the arrogant human who buried his natural talent to look after bugs .

“I was just surprised for a bit . From now on, it will be completely different . I will show you the difference in experience . ”

Flap . Jad opened his wings wide and soared high into the sky . He deliberately put the sun at his back to interrupt Grid’s field of view before shooting a Breath . The Breath wasn’t aimed at Grid but at the residents gathered under the stage .

“Kuahahaha!” Jad laughed loudly at the sight of the chaotic residents and gathered magic power to aim at Grid this time . He planned to shoot the Breath again, aiming at the back of Grid who would fly to save the residents .

“ . . . What?” Jad’s eyes suddenly widened . Grid was flying toward him while ignoring the Breath fired at the residents .

‘It was all a pretense?’

Just then, the scent of blood caused the tip of Jad’s nose to tingle . A dome of red magic unfolded on the ground and blocked the Breath fired at the inhabitants .

“ . . . !”

A silver-haired boy was standing alone . The one who seemed to be the master of the magic looked directly at Jad in the sky .

‘You terrible son of a **** . ’ This child was clearly saying so .

However, Jad wasn’t easily provoked . He wondered why a high-ranking vampire who disliked the sun would be here and why he was helping humans but he focused on Grid in front of him . The combat experience of thousands of battles kept him composed . The second Breath headed for Grid .

Meanwhile, Jad was chasing right after the Breath . He planned to deal a surprise attack the moment Grid dodged the Breath . He might’ve fought against the imperial army and monsters thousands of times but even he didn’t predict that the Breath he fired would come back at him .

“Ugh!”

Jad was hit by the reflected Breath he was closely following . Then he read Grid’s intentions and swung his claws . The claws pierced Grid’s chest but it was pointless .

“Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle . ”

Grid used Open Potential, ignored the blow, and narrowed the distance with Jad . His ultimate sword dance literally dominated the space as it slammed into Jad and turned the half-draconian to grey ash . It wasn’t until the final moment that Jad realized—his experience, skills, and even physical abilities, they were all inferior to Grid . He realized that the fear he first experienced was real, not an illusion .

“ . . . !!”

The last survivor of the half-draconians had been watching from below the stage and hurriedly fled . He was a half-draconian who liked to fight but he didn’t want to die . Then Duke Steim and the knights blocked and surrounded his way .

“Get lost!” The half-draconians resisted but it was relentless . The knights of the north had accumulated a lot of experience and training and were capable of withstanding the half-draconian’s strikes . They earned a small amount of time for Grid to arrive and overpower the half-draconian .

Grid grabbed the half-draconian’s head and whispered, “Guide us to the place where your leader is . ”

“U-Understood!”

It was an order that he had no reason to be rejected . There were 28 half-draconians at their base, including Helena and five senior warriors . Once Grid led all of Frontier’s forces, it was death that awaited them . The disbelieving half-draconian started to take the lead .

Then he was suddenly filled with doubts . There were only three people following him . It was Grid, a vampire, and a woman who joined at some point . ‘Are they crazy?’

They were entering the tiger’s cave with only three people? Well, it didn’t matter . He wanted to quickly see their faces twisted with fear and pain . . .

After speeding up the pace, the half-draconian arrived in the Chaos Mountains and guided Grid’s group deeper . The half-draconian was busy guarding against the monsters in front of him and Grid behind him . Therefore, he didn’t notice that lights kept falling from the sky . Every time the light dropped, the number of people in Grid’s party increased . All of Grid’s knights including Braham, Piaro, Mercedes, Asmophel, Jude, and the 10 meritorious retainers participated in the procession .

‘I have to level up . ’

Grid’s purpose wasn’t just about the half-draconians . This was a top-level hunting ground where even Grid couldn’t hunt alone . This was the Chaos Mountains so he planned for a group hunt .
